Speaker 1: Got the phones on a home run. Ready to go.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the playoffs, Dodger fans.
Speaker 2: It's playoff time when your favorite.
Speaker 3: Show, thirteen wins is all it takes on half and
Speaker 3: escape for you.
Speaker 4: Welcome to a playoff edition of Dodger Talk. Get in
Speaker 4: on the action at eight six.
Speaker 1: Six eats Breeze, sleeps Baseball.
Speaker 5: Now we got to your award winning broadcasters of the
Speaker 5: world champion Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Here's your host of Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: It's only been fourteen years. Every day, David Basse. We
Speaker 1: are live at the Bank in Philadelphia. After the Dodgers
Speaker 1: steal Game one of the NLDS by a final score
Speaker 1: of five to three. And like I told ta Oscar Hernandez,
Speaker 1: you cannot spell October without Taoe. And my good friend
Speaker 1: Janta Ribio tweeted that out and that was the tweet
Speaker 1: of the night, Juanito. The Dodgers beat the Phillies five
Speaker 1: to three and steal. I can't emphasize this enough. They
Speaker 1: stole game one. They came in here and beat the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Ace Christopher Sanchez, he was in there and was dealing
Speaker 1: for the first five innings. It looked like it was
Speaker 1: going to be a long night for the Dodgers, but
Speaker 1: in that sixth inning, the Dodgers were able to get
Speaker 1: a couple of more runners on against Sanchez. It was
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman working a two out walk against Sanchez, and
Speaker 1: then Tommy Edmand from the right side a two out
Speaker 1: base hit, and then Kei k a Hernandez doing key
Speaker 1: Y Hernandez things in October, a two out, two run double,
Speaker 1: and interesting enough, it was Dino Ebel with the stop
Speaker 1: sign and Tommy Edman ran right through it, and good
Speaker 1: thing he did, because he scored easily as the Dodgers
Speaker 1: cut the lead to three to two at that point
Speaker 1: in time. And then Taoscar Hernandez gave the Dodgers the
Speaker 1: lead for good and the Dodgers beat the Phillies five
Speaker 1: to three. So this was the ultimate team win. There
Speaker 1: was so many different guys that played a big part
Speaker 1: in the game tonight, especially a guy like Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 1: who you know will be overlooked for drawing that two
Speaker 1: out walk against Sanchez to even allow Keik to come up,
Speaker 1: and then Taoscar Hernandez is able to come up after
Speaker 1: Andy pa has got a leadoff single off a Strom
Speaker 1: will Smith, who smartly has not swung the bat in
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks in a Major League game,
Speaker 1: did not try to get out of the way of
Speaker 1: an inside pitch. Instead, he let it hit him and
Speaker 1: he was on base. To turn the lineup over for
Speaker 1: show hey Otani. O'tani struck out looking on a fast ball,
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets popped up to third base, and te Oscar Hernandez,
Speaker 1: who was so good against lefties last year, did damage
Speaker 1: again and hit a ninety three fastball elevated in the
Speaker 1: strike zone over the high wall and right center field,
Speaker 1: and this crowd went from waving towels being on their
Speaker 1: feet to being in their seats and crying in those towels.
Speaker 1: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 1: the phone number show Heotani tonight. Can't give him enough
Speaker 1: credit for the pitching side of things. He did strike
Speaker 1: out four times tonight, but as the pitcher, he hung
Speaker 1: in there after having a little hiccup in the second
Speaker 1: inning and reset got the curveball working, got the split
Speaker 1: fingered fastball working, and he finished six innings with nine strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He actually pitched an out longer than Sancha. Sanchez could
Speaker 1: not finish the sixth inning, while Otani did and Roki Sasaki,
Speaker 1: all the doubts are over. He can close anywhere, anytime,
Speaker 1: any city, any situation. After what we saw tonight and
Speaker 1: Tyler Glass, now he pitched better than what well. Nobody
Speaker 1: knew what to expect, but he pitched pretty well. And Vesia,
Speaker 1: who has been such a big time October performer, delivered
Speaker 1: against getting at Mundo Sosa to fly out to end
Speaker 1: the eighth inning with the bases loaded. So all around,
Speaker 1: great game for the Dodgers as they have a huge
Speaker 1: one to zero lead in the NLDS with Blake Snell,
Speaker 1: who owns the Phillies hitters going in game two eight six, six, nine, seven,
Speaker 1: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs.
Speaker 1: Kirsten Watson caught up with kek Hernandez on sportsn at
Speaker 1: La Key K, can you.
Speaker 5: Take us just to that sixth the inning really quick?
Speaker 5: When you guys were able to kind of pass the
Speaker 5: baton getting to Sanchez getting him out of the game,
Speaker 5: What were you just seeing there and what adjustments.
Speaker 1: Did you make?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think all credits to Freddy. Freddie got
Speaker 3: it's going with a two out walk. It was a
Speaker 3: big a bat.
Speaker 1: He took some tough pitches.
Speaker 3: And then after that, Tommy, you know, doing taking what
Speaker 3: they gave him a pitch away, he went with it
Speaker 3: and then he kind of showed me everything. He's thrown
Speaker 3: me all three pitches and uh, you know he had
Speaker 3: he had a lot more movement that the last time
Speaker 3: we face him at home. So you know, I was
Speaker 3: trying to like really not do too much and just
Speaker 3: trying to get a pitch to hit, and he actually
Speaker 3: made a really good pitch. I was just I was
Speaker 3: able to stay inside that ball and keep it fair.
Speaker 5: It felt like the tides kind of started to turn there.
Speaker 5: Did you start to feel the momentum building all the
Speaker 5: offense and then you guys were able to get to
Speaker 5: the bullpen?
Speaker 6: Ah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for us, it's always a matter of
Speaker 3: time and it's always a matter of getting it going,
Speaker 3: and it seemed like we did at the right time.
Speaker 3: And after that, you know, Tailor with a with a
Speaker 3: big three run homer, like he's he's done time after
Speaker 3: time last two years, and all credits to the pitching,
Speaker 3: I think Showy after that one inning, he kept us
Speaker 3: in the game. He kept doing it and the bullpen
Speaker 3: came in, shutting the door.
Speaker 1: As it was, it was really huge for us.
Speaker 5: You talked about tay Oscar. We saw his reaction on TV.
Speaker 5: He was losing his mind and what was just the
Speaker 5: reaction in the dugout.
Speaker 1: We were all losing our minds.
Speaker 3: We couldn't really see what his reaction was because we
Speaker 3: were trying to see the ball. It was a really
Speaker 3: high fly ball and the stadium room really quiet, and
Speaker 3: we weren't sure if it was going to be a
Speaker 3: homer or not. So we were looking at the ball
Speaker 3: and once the ball went out, we started freaking out.
Speaker 3: And then Tail was still freaking out himself. So I
Speaker 3: didn't see his reaction, but I can't wait to see
Speaker 3: it when I get inside.
Speaker 5: We saw rookies Zaki close out the wild card. For
Speaker 5: him to close this one out in this atmosphere, what
Speaker 5: was it like just being behind.
Speaker 1: Him, I mean it was huge. I you know, I
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what to expect.
Speaker 3: He started, he started warming up really late, and then
Speaker 3: we had that situation where the ball hit the umpire
Speaker 3: and it kind of gave him a chance to get
Speaker 3: ready and come in the game, and you know, he
Speaker 3: did what he did against Cincinnati, so it was fun
Speaker 3: to watch and we're looking forward to the next game.
Speaker 5: Congratulations on this game one win, Key K.
Speaker 1: All right, there's Key K Hernandez on sports Net LA
Speaker 1: and before we go out to the phones, we have
Speaker 1: one line open. After ta Oscar Hernandez gave a subpar
Speaker 1: effort to try to stop that ball that JT. Realmudo hit,
Speaker 1: it was going to be a two run double. The
Speaker 1: ball went to the wall and real Mudo was standing
Speaker 1: at third base and did score on a batter fly
Speaker 1: ball to left field, so that was an extra run
Speaker 1: that if you keep real Mudo at second doesn't score. Look,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. It looked very weird that Tioscar
Speaker 1: Hernandez was not able to stop that ball rolling to
Speaker 1: the wall. But I'm going to live or die with
Speaker 1: tao Oscar Hernandez, and I had no doubt at some
Speaker 1: point in time, similar to a Dodger stadium in Game
Speaker 1: two against the Reds, that he was going to redeem himself.
Speaker 1: And I know social media was blowing up. Everybody was
Speaker 1: attacking Taioscar Hernandez. And that's why social media is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It's a stream of consciousness. It was the second inning
Speaker 1: of the game. You're telling me you didn't believe the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: with the way their offense is rolling, could come back
Speaker 1: from that deficit. You're telling me Tioscar Hernandez is not
Speaker 1: trying in a playoff game. I don't buy that. That
Speaker 1: was just an awkward play that. Honestly, we have to
Speaker 1: hear from Taoscar even more to see what was going
Speaker 1: on there. But that is ridiculous the way everybody was
Speaker 1: going after Taoscar on social media after that play. Don't
Speaker 1: ever doubt ta Oscar Hernandez. He's got three home runs
Speaker 1: and nine RBIs in three playoff games this season. He
Speaker 1: is going to be huge. Everybody asked me who is
Speaker 1: the key player for the Dodgers in this series. Automatically
Speaker 1: it's ta Oscar Hernandez because he's so good against lefties.
Speaker 1: We saw tonight he was hitting third. He needs to
Speaker 1: drive in runs against lefties like he did tonight. And
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez he was really good. You got to give
Speaker 1: him some credit. He's one of the best pitchers in
Speaker 1: baseball this year. But the Dodgers hung in there and
Speaker 1: they got to him and Freddie Freeman's two out walk
Speaker 1: in that sixth inning was huge. Eight eight seventy is
Speaker 1: the phone number. Let's go out to Orange County Dominic.
Speaker 1: You're on Dodger Talk live from Philly. How are you doing, Tom?
Speaker 7: How are you David?
Speaker 8: I am just doing awesome. And I obviously I'm hearing
Speaker 8: the show right now, and I just got a second
Speaker 8: everything you just said, like you know, you just you said,
Speaker 8: you just said a minute ago, don't doubt Taosta, And
Speaker 8: I'm like, you know what, don't doubt the Dodgers because
Speaker 8: it you know it. The the sixth inning was just magical.
Speaker 8: It was It was absolutely magical because the concert that
Speaker 8: happened in Philly ended up becoming a library when Taoster
Speaker 8: got his home run. So I am just I honestly,
Speaker 8: I just.
Speaker 7: Have a lot of adorenaline pumping and.
Speaker 8: So I I am just absolutely happy that we went
Speaker 8: to Ita.
Speaker 1: All Right, thank you for the phone call. I love it.
Speaker 1: You sounded as as worn out as Key Key Hernandez
Speaker 1: in that interview. And look, Roki Sasaki another key player
Speaker 1: in this postseason run for the Dodgers. They did not
Speaker 1: know who was going to get the last three outs
Speaker 1: coming into October, but it feels like Roki has stood
Speaker 1: tall and certainly has the confidence of everybody in that dugout.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Edgar in Los Angeles. You're on
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi.
Speaker 6: Edgar, Hey, David, shout out to your show. Shout out
Speaker 6: to all those Dodger fans that were affilly to watch
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 2: A beautiful game. I just want to say that I
Speaker 2: heard you and I heard coming teams and TV said
Speaker 2: that Dodgers stole this game. Absolutely not. We did not
Speaker 2: steal this game. They actually earned this game. Show, we
Speaker 2: had a great outing, the beats came to lives, so
Speaker 2: we actually earned his win. Would do anything they earned
Speaker 2: the win. We wanted to get fair and square.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about that, Edgar. But the way things
Speaker 1: were looking after the first five innings and there were
Speaker 1: a couple of two out hits, you come into a
Speaker 1: hostile environment and you win the first game here. Uh.
Speaker 1: That's the reason why a lot of people, including myself,
Speaker 1: believe the Dodgers stole this game, because the Phillies were
Speaker 1: on their way to a game one win.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but I still think that we earned it.
Speaker 1: Not, of course they earned it. Yes, nothing was there
Speaker 1: was no errors made. I agree with you, Edgar, but
Speaker 1: can we agree the Dodgers are a hey one game
Speaker 1: to nothing in the NLDS.
Speaker 6: Absolutely absolutely, we are all right.
Speaker 1: Love it, Edgar. Thank you for the phone call. Let's
Speaker 1: go out to Javier and all Hambra. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: How you doing, Javier? Potato Potato?
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm better now, he just real quick. I want
Speaker 7: to give a shout out to Dave Roberts. Everybody so
Speaker 7: quick to pull their pitchforks out whenever he makes it
Speaker 7: decision that they don't agree with. But I feel he
Speaker 7: managed a perfect game today as well as he could anyway.
Speaker 7: The players stop the play and uh, the Hernandez boys
Speaker 7: ice in their veins. You know, I was, you know,
Speaker 7: you know what to expect with ke K. You know
Speaker 7: he's gonna deliver, and he came up big for us
Speaker 7: and the Oscar. You know, it was kind of a
Speaker 7: little bit disappointing to see the him let that ball
Speaker 7: pass him, but always like know he's gonna come through
Speaker 7: for us, and obviously he came through big. But good night,
Speaker 7: good feels good to be up one zero Go Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes it does. Javier no doubt about it. Eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 1: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers
Speaker 1: beat the Phillies tonight five to three. Otani gets the
Speaker 1: win six innings, nine strikeouts, and Roki Sasaki comes into
Speaker 1: the ninth inning and gets the final three outs. And
Speaker 1: you know what, another part of this test that Roki
Speaker 1: passed was the fact that he didn't just set that
Speaker 1: him down in order. In the ninth inning, he faced
Speaker 1: a little bit of adversity. He was able to streak
Speaker 1: out strikeout Real Mudo on strike he got him looking
Speaker 1: on strike three to start the inning. But then the
Speaker 1: left handed Max Kepler doubled with one out, so all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, this crowd was up on their feet again.
Speaker 1: There was a little adversity there. But then Roki still
Speaker 1: kept his poise and was able to get Casteanos to
Speaker 1: ground out to the right side of the infield, second out.
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden he's in a way better
Speaker 1: spot facing Bryce and Stott, and I know it's the
Speaker 1: bottom third of the Phillies' order, but there's some dangerous
Speaker 1: hitters there, and he got start to pop up to
Speaker 1: end the game to Max Munci, so to me, he
Speaker 1: passed a He passed a couple of tests tonight. Number one,
Speaker 1: you know, warming up in that Philly he's a visiting bullpen.
Speaker 1: I've been told by other relievers that that is one
Speaker 1: of the most hostile, unruly air of the stadium when
Speaker 1: you're in that visiting bullpen. So I'm sure those Philly
Speaker 1: fans were screaming at him as he was warming up.
Speaker 1: And then he comes in in this setting, one of
Speaker 1: the most hostile, if not the most hostile environment I
Speaker 1: have seen the Dodgers play in, and is able to
Speaker 1: keep his composure and get the final three outs and
Speaker 1: also overcome a one out double by Max Kepler, with
Speaker 1: every hitter that's coming to the plate representing the tying
Speaker 1: run after that. So Roki Sasaki to me, I mean
Speaker 1: kudos to the Dodgers for never giving up on this
Speaker 1: guy and him never giving up on his season because
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought he would never pitch again
Speaker 1: this season. It would be twenty twenty six for him.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you who believed in him more than anybody.
Speaker 1: That was Andrew Friedman, Andrew Freeman. I'm not just saying
Speaker 1: that believed that Roki Sasaki could help the Dodgers in
Speaker 1: some capacity this season. And you know, all the work
Speaker 1: that the pitching department did with Roki, and Roki himself
Speaker 1: opening up his mind to some of the adjustments the
Speaker 1: Dodgers wanted to wanted him to make is all on him.
Speaker 1: So kudos to the Dodgers for hanging in there with him.
Speaker 1: Eight six six seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 1: Dodgers beat the Phillies in Game one of the NLDS
Speaker 1: five to three. Let's go back out to all Hambra, Katie,
Speaker 1: you're on Dodger Talk Live from Philly. How you doing.
Speaker 9: I'm good, Thanks for taking my call. I'm so happy
Speaker 9: for the win. We knew we needed one win in
Speaker 9: Philly and we got it on the first game. That
Speaker 9: was so exciting. But I gotta say made me nervous
Speaker 9: bringing Glasnow out to release pitch for a bit there.
Speaker 9: Just want to hear your thoughts on good decision, not
Speaker 9: good decision on the road, especially in Philly. Just curious
Speaker 9: what you think about that.
Speaker 1: He's a wild card, Katie. But that just shows you
Speaker 1: where the Dodgers are with their bullpen. You know, Tyler
Speaker 1: had not pitched in nearly two weeks if he doesn't
Speaker 1: pitch tonight, going into a possible Game four. Remember in
Speaker 1: Seattle he pitched the middle game in that series. That's
Speaker 1: a long time for him not to pitch. And he's
Speaker 1: got great stuff. I mean, you can bring glass now
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen after Otani. He's not a comfortable
Speaker 1: at bat if he can just stay out of his
Speaker 1: own way, and I thought he did a pretty good
Speaker 1: job in the seventh inning of doing that, and then
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning things started to get a little
Speaker 1: bit out of whack. Albeit he did get two outs,
Speaker 1: but he loaded the bases, so it was a gamble
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts had to take, and I would say it
Speaker 1: paid off to a certain extent. He didn't give up
Speaker 1: the lead, so it was it was a thought out
Speaker 1: plan and I was all in with that plan. Katie,
Speaker 1: fair enough.
Speaker 9: Yeah, makes us a little nervous, keeps us on our
Speaker 9: toes those loaded bases, but think thinking as Messia helps
Speaker 9: get us out of it. That was great, good game tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Katie, appreciate it. The Dodgers, by the way,
Speaker 1: win their first postseason game here in Philadelphia in forty
Speaker 1: seven years. The Dodgers had a seven game postseason losing
Speaker 1: streak in Philly. They lost two games in eighty three
Speaker 1: and two thousand and eight, and they lost all three
Speaker 1: games as you know, in two thousand and nine in
Speaker 1: the NLCS to the Philly So the last time the
Speaker 1: Dodgers won a playoff game in Philly Game two of
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy eight NLCS. With Rick Monday patrolling the outfield, show, Hey,
Speaker 1: Otani tonight was really good in his first ever postseason start.
Speaker 1: He gets the win after going six innings and had
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts and certainly was pumped up cheering on Roki
Speaker 1: Sasaki in the ninth inning. Let's head down to the
Speaker 1: podium to hear from the great Otani. Can you walk
Speaker 1: us through that show?
Speaker 10: Hey, you talked yesterday that about possibly being a little nervous.
Speaker 10: How did it feel to pitch in your first postseason game?
Speaker 11: And what were the good and the bad?
Speaker 12: She said, also no not you know dahn image state
Speaker 12: she I did nag any constule uh can Joko stedd
Speaker 12: cool shan.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 14: Prior to the game, just preparing for the game, just
Speaker 14: looking at the data, doing my usual preparation, I was
Speaker 14: a little nervous. You know, imagining myself out there on
Speaker 14: the mound, But once I was on the mound and
Speaker 14: on the field, that went away and was really me focusing.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, next question.
Speaker 16: You're gonna go Howard here in the second row to
Speaker 16: wait for the mic. Thank you, sure, congratulations. The it
Speaker 16: seemed like in the eighth inning you were showing a
Speaker 16: bunt when you're looking to he can you just kind
Speaker 16: of take me through that moment and related as you
Speaker 16: were coming out to the bullpen, you know, your acknowledging
Speaker 16: the crowd. It seems that you were kind of taking
Speaker 16: it all in and uh, embracing being sort of an
Speaker 16: animy terbriatory. Just take me through your thinking in those
Speaker 16: two moments.
Speaker 17: Please.
Speaker 14: Okay, that's a.
Speaker 12: Do you know, sorry Weds.
Speaker 14: I was sold by Dave Roberts to make some time
Speaker 14: for rookie pitching the bullpen warming up, So I did.
Speaker 14: I want to do everything in my power to make
Speaker 14: sure we got ample time for him.
Speaker 15: Okay, we're gonna go right here, second round.
Speaker 16: Just the moment before the game, shame.
Speaker 12: Game game in wah issue easy he came to the.
Speaker 14: Yeah, just you know, I was just really I was
Speaker 14: able to enjoy the atmosphere, and that was the action
Speaker 14: that I took. But it was you know, as I
Speaker 14: said before, I was preparing for the game, just being
Speaker 14: focused on the game, and you know, yeah, a little
Speaker 14: better nervousness, but you know, I definitely enjoyed the time
Speaker 14: prior and during a bullpen warming up.
Speaker 1: All Right, there is show He Otani and Will Ireton
Speaker 1: in the press conference room after Otani, in his first
Speaker 1: postseason pitching start, wins the game and Roki Sasaki with
Speaker 1: the save his first postseason save. Eight six six nine

Speaker 1: loud place. You know, it was loud.
Speaker 9: It was loud.
Speaker 11: Uh Sanchez was was dealing, I mean.
Speaker 1: Good for him.
Speaker 11: That situation is just trying to get something up in
Speaker 11: the in the strike zone. I wasn't trying to hit
Speaker 11: a homer. I was just trying to put a good
Speaker 11: swing on it and maybe bring one run. What a
Speaker 11: base it, How good a bad and just you know,
Speaker 11: but the big, big swing comes and I put the
Speaker 11: thing ahead.
Speaker 1: When you hit it, did you believe that it was
Speaker 1: going over the wall.
Speaker 11: It was a good swing. I feel I feel like
Speaker 11: like like I hit it really good. It was gonna
Speaker 11: be maybe a home or double off the wall, so
Speaker 11: thank god it was a homer.
Speaker 1: Tay Oscar, what is it about the playoffs that brings
Speaker 1: out the best in you? And Kei k? How did
Speaker 1: you guys keep your poise tonight in such a hostile environment.

Speaker 11: like when when this moment says it's what is going on?
Speaker 11: So I don't know, I get ready the same thing.
Speaker 11: I prepare him the same way. It doesn't matter how
Speaker 11: the game is or how important it is, but you know,
Speaker 11: it just it just.
Speaker 1: Happened before I let you go. You were standing next
Speaker 1: to Otani when Roki Sasaki was closing out the game.
Speaker 1: What were you guys saying to each other? And how
Speaker 1: big is Rokie? Now?
Speaker 11: For you, you know, we were trying to call all the
Speaker 11: pitches that he was gonna throw in that situation, so
Speaker 11: you know, it's trying to help him, like mental, mental,
Speaker 11: and you know I'm trying to give this a poor
Speaker 11: that he needs to get the three outs.

Speaker 17: brother doing good.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how did you watch the game tonight?
Speaker 17: I was over at the bar right down the street
Speaker 17: from where I'm at and it was a pretty fired
Speaker 17: up crowd. But I did a little down in the
Speaker 17: mouth until the until TJ came up with those big
Speaker 17: doualarva ice single there double airs. It was a great win. Tonight.
Speaker 16: Man.
Speaker 17: I'll tell you what though, it's the one thing the
Speaker 17: Dodgers are really searching for, it seems to me is
Speaker 17: a closer. And I'm hoping that dude can you know,
Speaker 17: really bear down and win that job for him through
Speaker 17: the postseason, because we really need a guy that can
Speaker 17: get in there and shut people down in the ninth
Speaker 17: And he did it tonight. He had a little adversity,
Speaker 17: but he got the job done. And I can't believe
Speaker 17: the Dodgers haven't won a game in Philly since seventy eight.
Speaker 1: That's right, game two postseason.
Speaker 17: Li, That's crazy, man, that's tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And honestly, the Phillies have won each of the
Speaker 1: last three postseason series against the Dodgers, going back to
Speaker 1: eighty three, two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this was a big monkey off the back
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers to come in here and win this game.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the phone call, Craig, appreciate it. Eight six
Speaker 1: six nine eight seven two five seventy. Not only did
Speaker 1: the Phillies lose the game, but they lost their center fielder.
Speaker 1: Harrison Bader had to come out of this game in
Speaker 1: the seventh inning with a strained left hamstring. That's a
Speaker 1: big loss for the Phillies in this series as well.
Speaker 1: Those things just don't heal in twenty four hours, so
Speaker 1: that's a big loss for a guy that's been a
Speaker 1: spark plug for them since they acquired him at the
Speaker 1: trade deadline from the Minnesota Twins. Eight six six ninety
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy is the phone number Solomon in
Speaker 1: Lake Balboa. You've been patient? What's up, Solomon?
Speaker 13: Hey, I'm very good, David, as most Dodger fans are,
Speaker 13: or all Dodger fans are tonight. You know, it might
Speaker 13: be premature, but there's always that that game changing, series
Speaker 13: changing moment in the series, and I think we saw
Speaker 13: it tonight because that home run from Tao, the Philly players,
Speaker 13: the fans, the prognosticators, doctor Phillies, you know, winning the series.
Speaker 13: The mouth dropped. They did not expect it. That was
Speaker 13: a blow. I don't know if the Phillis come back
Speaker 13: from that. They're not going to lay down, but to
Speaker 13: me so far as a series changing moment, and we
Speaker 13: will see what happens going forward, because that totally changed
Speaker 13: the completion of the series. As a short series, you
Speaker 13: got one game you need toom well and you're done.
Speaker 13: That's it, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Solomon, thank you for the phone call. You're right,
Speaker 1: and especially when you win the first game on the road,
Speaker 1: that was huge. And I believe that. You know, if
Speaker 1: the Dodgers won tonight, they have a very good chance
Speaker 1: of sweeping the Phillies because if history holds true, the
Speaker 1: Phillies don't do well against Blake Snell. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the big boppers, Harper and Schwarber. You look at
Speaker 1: what they've done against Snell in their careers, and even
Speaker 1: as recently as three weeks ago at Dodger Stadium. Snell,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, does really well against those hitters. And
Speaker 1: if he has his curveball working, he should duplicate what
Speaker 1: he did at Dodger Stadium against this team. I actually
Speaker 1: thought my favorite pitch from Snell in that game was
Speaker 1: when he froze Schwarber, I believe, in the fifth inning
Speaker 1: to end the fifth on a curveball strike three. So
Speaker 1: if he has his curveball against these lefties, it's going
Speaker 1: to be a long night. And Game two is not tomorrow,
Speaker 1: I'll remind you again. Game two is Monday afternoon, three
Speaker 1: eight pm Pacific time, six to zero, eight Eastern Time,
Speaker 1: Blake Snell against heesus Lozardo, And at some point, Dodger fans,
Speaker 1: you're going to have to acknowledge that the Dodgers are
Speaker 1: the team nobody wants to see. The Dodgers are really good.
Speaker 1: They've won eight in a row going back to the
Speaker 1: regular season. I'm sure many of you don't know that.
Speaker 1: Did you know? Did you know? With the win tonight,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers have won eight in a row. We talk
Speaker 1: about teams playing their best baseball at the right time, Well,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are doing that. They're a very hot team,
Speaker 1: a very hot offense right now, and the Phillies did
Speaker 1: not cool him down. So just keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: I know everybody worries about their own team and their
Speaker 1: own flaws, but the Dodgers are the best team in baseball,
Speaker 1: and the Phillies may be the second best team in baseball.
Speaker 1: And many people I talk to, former players, guys that
Speaker 1: cover the game, believe that this is going to determine
Speaker 1: who wins the World Series, similar to last year's NLDS
Speaker 1: between the Dodgers and Padres. And don't think for a
Speaker 1: second when you show up in Philly for Game two.
Speaker 1: This is going to be a very anxious crowd after
Speaker 1: the way things ended tonight. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat
Speaker 1: the Phillies in Game one of the NLDS in their
Speaker 1: home ballpark. David in Downey, You're on Dodger Talk live
Speaker 1: from the City of Brotherly Love. How you doing, David Good?
Speaker 18: How are you?
Speaker 17: David?
Speaker 6: Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1: My pleasure.
Speaker 6: Now I'm going to touch on something that I don't
Speaker 6: think anybody else is touched on yet. You know what
Speaker 6: I was so impressed about the Dodgers tonight. You know
Speaker 6: when they got down early, they got down Street and
Speaker 6: nothing I noticed one thing. There was no panic, There
Speaker 6: is no fear, and there is no doubt in any
Speaker 6: of those players' faces. Because what they did is they
Speaker 6: dug down deep and they played the fundamental baseball that
Speaker 6: they need to play, just like they did against Cincinnati
Speaker 6: when they got down to nothing to Cincinnati.
Speaker 13: What did they do?
Speaker 6: They came back and they scored the next eight runs
Speaker 6: and they beat the Reds eight to four, just like
Speaker 6: tonight with the Phillies. I know the dodg different thing,
Speaker 6: and yeah, we're in your house. Yeah, we're in your
Speaker 6: you know, you were facing your hustle crowd. But that
Speaker 6: doesn't face us one bit because we're gonna play the
Speaker 6: same ball that we played during the regular season. And
Speaker 6: I think what we're gonna do. We're gonna win that
Speaker 6: second game. And I'm gonna predict it here. Okay, Dave,
Speaker 6: I'm calling a sweep. I'm calling a three games sweep
Speaker 6: of the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Look, they're in great position to do that now, David,
Speaker 1: after winning this game and Blake'snell pitching Game two and
Speaker 1: then Yamamoto at home. I mean, the Phillies are gonna
Speaker 1: go cross country down Oh two. If that does happen, I,
Speaker 1: you know, as surprising as that sounds, David, there's a
Speaker 1: very good chance. And if the Dodgers win Game two,
Speaker 1: I find it really hard to believe the Phillies are
Speaker 1: going to win Game three in LA. But they got
Speaker 1: to win Game two first. Thanks to the phone call
Speaker 1: David eight six six seven two five seventy And speaking
Speaker 1: of Blake Snell and Game two, little tip on what
Speaker 1: to expect for Game two. As far as the Dodgers
Speaker 1: battery goes, it was Ben Rourtfitt, who got the start
Speaker 1: tonight but was pinch hit for in the fifth inning
Speaker 1: by Dave Roberts as he was trying to go for
Speaker 1: the game and brought up Will Smith, who got into
Speaker 1: a game for the first time in three and a
Speaker 1: half weeks. Tough start to have to face Christopher Sanchez
Speaker 1: the way he was pitching tonight. Will struck out in
Speaker 1: that fifth inning against Sanchez. But my point is, as
Speaker 1: I was watching Blake Snell go to the outfield before
Speaker 1: the game today to get ready for his bullpen session,
Speaker 1: Will Smith joined him in full catcher's gear and caught
Speaker 1: Blake Snell's bullpen, which tells me and after what we
Speaker 1: saw tonight, Will Smith likely will be in the starting
Speaker 1: lineup and catch Blake Snell for Game two. So that's
Speaker 1: another big boost for the Dodgers. They get Will Smith back,
Speaker 1: and the Phillies may have lost their center fielder Harrison
Speaker 1: Bader tonight with a left hamstring strain. Eight six six
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy is the phone number Rob in
Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach. You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Rob.
Speaker 18: Hey, David, say you know I'm a die hard radiohead
Speaker 18: and I'm so impressed with your crew. And here I
Speaker 18: got two questions for you. First, uh, hey, what was
Speaker 18: Chuck munseygett stiff for for that error? Listening to the game,
Speaker 18: sound like he was heroic? What we supposed to do
Speaker 18: pocket the ball and that error? And then the second
Speaker 18: thing is why does it seem like the doc has
Speaker 18: better able to manage his pinch hitters than than the bullpen.
Speaker 18: I mean, there's an obvious reason, but I tell you
Speaker 18: his calls and those pinch hitters have gone well, and
Speaker 18: I tell you tonight with his bullpen, well, it pulled
Speaker 18: it out. The victory is there to demonstrate it, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Rob, thank you for the phone call. Well, a
Speaker 1: manager is only as good as the moves result. Right,
Speaker 1: If Tyler Glass Now comes in and gives up the lead,
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna jump all over. Dave Roberts, why did you
Speaker 1: bring in Tyler Glass Now? But it worked out and
Speaker 1: Alex Vesia bailed him out in the eighth inning with
Speaker 1: the bases loaded in two outs. Those were the right moves.
Speaker 1: But at some point you are going to have to
Speaker 1: accept the fact that the players play the game. Dave
Speaker 1: Roberts can only make the right moves, and sometimes the
Speaker 1: right moves don't work out. But going back to last
Speaker 1: year's postseason, Roberts managed his best year last year, and
Speaker 1: he managed pretty well. He did as good of a
Speaker 1: job as anybody in baseball this year. And I have
Speaker 1: said this many times. Managing the Dodgers is not just
Speaker 1: managing nine innings. There's managing up to the front office
Speaker 1: being on the same page with them, a lot of
Speaker 1: sponsorship demands with the Dodgers, meeting greets, a lot of
Speaker 1: media that doesn't happen in Texas doesn't happen in Miami.
Speaker 1: So Dave Roberts balances all of that really well. And
Speaker 1: here he is on the verge of really separating himself
Speaker 1: as far as managers go. And this team has an
Speaker 1: opportunity to set a legacy that will be forever remembered
Speaker 1: if they could pull off winning the World Series this year,
Speaker 1: to become the one and only Dodger team to went
Speaker 1: back to back World Championships, and to become the first
Speaker 1: team in baseball since the Yankees twenty five years ago
Speaker 1: to repeat it champions And that manager was here before
Speaker 1: the game, Joe Tory. All right, let's head back downstairs
Speaker 1: speaking to managers to here from tonight's losing manager Rob Thompson, Rob.
Speaker 7: The fact that it's being called a strain for Baiter,
Speaker 7: What can you teks about what serious that is?
Speaker 1: And when he did it?
Speaker 10: Well, we're going to get some imaging tomorrow and it's
Speaker 10: actually his growing. It's growing tightness, is what it is.
Speaker 10: We originally we thought was hammy, but it's not. It's growing.
Speaker 10: We'll get the image down tomorrow. We'll know more tomorrow. Revaluate.
Speaker 10: And he did it on stots single pulling into second base.
Speaker 7: What options do you have if he's out just a
Speaker 7: Martian Center?
Speaker 1: Do you trust Kepler and Center? I know you've been
Speaker 1: out there for ending tonight, but.
Speaker 10: Yeah it's probably Martian Center. But I do trust Capin
Speaker 10: out there too, Okay, fresh row here.
Speaker 14: Rob, What went into the decision to bring Robertson back
Speaker 14: out after getting the one out to finish those six that.
Speaker 10: Believe it was well? I wanted to make sure we
Speaker 10: had a Leftianotani So if anybody else, if you bring
Speaker 10: another right in, he's got to face o Taani. So
Speaker 10: that's really what it came down to. Robbie didn't throw
Speaker 10: that many pitches. I mean he was good to go.
Speaker 1: Marcus.
Speaker 19: How close were you to replacing Christopher before you replaced him?
Speaker 19: And did you did you factor in the fact I'm
Speaker 19: not sure about this, but that David, I don't think
Speaker 19: he has had an up down this season.
Speaker 10: Right, Yeah, I did think about bringing him in on Kik,
Speaker 10: but he had handled Keyk pretty good. Pitch count was
Speaker 10: still on Christopher A yes, pitch count was still intact,
Speaker 10: and I thought that call had actually better at bats
Speaker 10: against San Chi than key K and really trying to
Speaker 10: get him through the inning.
Speaker 19: So and about Robertson's updowns, was that a factor? Did
Speaker 19: that factor into your.
Speaker 10: Decision a little bit? But he only threw a couple
Speaker 10: of pitches, so I thought he was good to go.
Speaker 1: Next question I left with him, Matt, Rob, what did
Speaker 1: you think about the abass from your top three guys
Speaker 1: in the lineup? Seemed like a Tawny handled him pretty well.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he really pitched him well, you know, a lot
Speaker 10: off speed pitches, dotted his fastball well. Tani was good tonight,
Speaker 10: he really was. So tip your cap and move on,
Speaker 10: Cab A second row here on the.
Speaker 1: Right, Rob, what did you like about what Sanchez did,
Speaker 1: especially at the top of the against the top of
Speaker 1: the order.
Speaker 10: Rather Yeah, he was again really good, strike throwing ability,
Speaker 10: The change up was filthy tonight. What was he sixty
Speaker 10: five percent strikes, eighteen whiffs seventeen out of twenty four
Speaker 10: I think first pitch, So he was he was fantastic.
Speaker 14: He really was.
Speaker 1: All right, there's Rob Thompson. Philly's manager. Christopher Sanchez was
Speaker 1: really good the first five innings. But like I said,
Speaker 1: the key at bat in that sixth inning, and key
Speaker 1: Y Hernandez mentioned this as well, was Freddy Freeman drawing
Speaker 1: a two out walk and then Tommy Edmund a two
Speaker 1: out base hit to set up Key Hernandez getting the
Speaker 1: Dodgers back in the game with a two run double
Speaker 1: with two outs in the sixth inning off of Sanchez,
Speaker 1: and then Sanchez was out of the game. After that.
Speaker 1: You heard Rob Thompson being asked about his first three
Speaker 1: hitters tonight. Otani Glass now did a great job against them.
Speaker 1: Trey Turner, Kyle Schwarber, and Bryce Harper were combined one
Speaker 1: for eleven tonight with six strikeouts. Schwarber was zero for
Speaker 1: four with three strikeouts Tonight himself eight six six seven
Speaker 1: two five seventy is the phone number Dodgers take Game
Speaker 1: one of the NLDS, beating the Phillies five to three.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Tavo and Fresno. You're on Dodger
Speaker 1: Talk with David vasse Hi Tavo.
Speaker 2: Hey, David, longtime listener, first time caller, been listening to
Speaker 2: you for years.
Speaker 13: You do such a great job.
Speaker 6: I just want to say that we went into the
Speaker 6: Lions then.
Speaker 18: And we took it one day.
Speaker 1: We took him from m no doubt. I mean this team,
Speaker 1: this team is very experienced. They are the champions. They
Speaker 1: have won it. They have been at the mountaintop. The
Speaker 1: Phillies have not. And I could tell the Dodgers were
Speaker 1: not intimidated by this sellout crowd and how loud it
Speaker 1: was during the introductions of the starting lineups, because every
Speaker 1: time they introduced one of their stars, whether it's Otani,
Speaker 1: Freeman or Betts, instead of kind of having that scared
Speaker 1: deer in the headlights, look, they were laughing, they were grinning,
Speaker 1: they were amused by it. I mean, those are veterans
Speaker 1: that have been there before, so I was sold on
Speaker 1: them right from the opening introductions. Let's go out to
Speaker 1: El Paso, Texas. Omar listening on the iHeartRadio app. You're
Speaker 1: on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 15: Hi, Omar, Hey Dave, thanks for taking my call real quick.
Speaker 15: I really appreciated Dave's move when he sent Prior to
Speaker 15: go talk to Vessia before that first pitch. I've been
Speaker 15: a huge critic of Roberts these past few years, but
Speaker 15: tonight and this past series against the Reds, I really
Speaker 15: appreciate it the moves he made. He's not scared to
Speaker 15: make the move, the right move and pulling the guy
Speaker 15: before the score ahead of us. And also a quick
Speaker 15: question for you after tonight's win, what do you think
Speaker 15: snell Zilla's thinking and what's his mentality on Monday? What's
Speaker 15: he going to do and how's he feeling? What do
Speaker 15: you think?
Speaker 1: Don't hang up, Omar, I'm going to tell you right now.
Speaker 1: As I was waiting for Teoscar Hernandez to come to
Speaker 1: me for the walk off interview, Blake Snell walked right
Speaker 1: by me and gave me that look, we are in
Speaker 1: a great position. He gave me a huge smile when
Speaker 1: he walked by me, and in that look, man, I'm
Speaker 1: ready to go and ready to pitch us to a
Speaker 1: game to win. He was happy they pulled this out
Speaker 1: because instead of him pitching the way he believes he
Speaker 1: will pitch to even the series, now he has a
Speaker 1: chance to put the Dodgers up two oh going back
Speaker 1: to LA. So he is, he's excited, and he's going
Speaker 1: to pitch with a chip on his shoulder because he
Speaker 1: has heard the disrespect from people on the East Coast
Speaker 1: that said he couldn't handle pitching in Philadelphia or New York.
Speaker 1: Trust me, he hears all of that stuff and he's
Speaker 1: out here to prove that he can.
Speaker 13: Beautiful. Love it.
Speaker 15: Love to hear that.
Speaker 1: All right, Omar, thank you for the phone call. Let's
Speaker 1: take another call, Eagle Rock. Matthew, You're on Dodger Talk
Speaker 1: Live from Philadelphia. Hi, Matthew, I was going with.
Speaker 20: Mister David Vat saying let's go Dodgers.
Speaker 13: You know what a win.
Speaker 20: H Just so much fun to watch the Dodgers in
Speaker 20: LA during the playoffs. You know, I was at a restaurant.
Speaker 20: Reminds me of like the Freddie Freeman game, just being
Speaker 20: somewhere and then the whole city kind of just behind
Speaker 20: it and just you know, just really energizing. So like
Speaker 20: shout out to La Love Dodger Baseball in October. Also
Speaker 20: want to give a big shout out to uh mister Vesia.
Speaker 13: Man.
Speaker 20: That guy's a dog, right, I think I think there's
Speaker 20: a lot of nervousness just going around, uh bases loaded,
Speaker 20: you know, to out. It's been a tough September, but
Speaker 20: you know there's just a lot of faith that you know,
Speaker 20: just a lot of faith faith in Vessia.
Speaker 13: So it was cool to see.
Speaker 20: And then last week I just wanted to ask a question. Uh,
Speaker 20: you know, Ben Rortvedt has been catching like a really
Speaker 20: great month. Uh you know, I think it goes back
Speaker 20: to the Yamamoto almost no hitter classic falling apart, but
Speaker 20: you know, just the vibe that he's been carrying the
Speaker 20: with the pitching staff. I was just kind of wondering
Speaker 20: what it was like, uh to switch him out for
Speaker 20: Will Smith.
Speaker 13: Are we going to see Rard fit throughout the playoffs?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's what I got.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Matthew, I think rot Fitz going back
Speaker 1: to being the backup catcher. He did a nice job
Speaker 1: of being a good receiver and blocking balls in the dirt.
Speaker 1: That's what the pictures appreciated about him, the starting pitchers
Speaker 1: and the relief pitchers, but you know, he's new to
Speaker 1: the organization. The Dodgers throw a lot of different pitchers
Speaker 1: in games, and they have a lot of different rotating relievers.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's a coincidence that, you know,
Speaker 1: the bullpen sometimes falters after the starter comes out because
Speaker 1: Ben Rourtfitt may not be on the same page with
Speaker 1: those relievers. And that's that's what's so vital about having
Speaker 1: Will Smith back outside of the obvious and rot Fit's
Speaker 1: done an admirable job, don't get me wrong. But to
Speaker 1: have Will Smith, who knows this pitching staff better than
Speaker 1: anybody back catching, that's huge. And I think you may
Speaker 1: see a little bit more confidence from the relievers. I
Speaker 1: mean I could catch Blake Snell and Otani. You can
Speaker 1: Matthew and Eagle Rock. I mean, as long as you
Speaker 1: get my point there. Yeah, okay, thank you for the
Speaker 1: fun call. A little bit of a delay there in
Speaker 1: Eagle Rock, I hear you. Let's go out to Long Beach.
Speaker 1: Nick walk us off on Dodger Talk, I love Long Beach.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna be our final caller tonight.
Speaker 2: Welcome, wonderful, thank you for the opportunity gave it you
Speaker 2: just what end up being?
Speaker 1: Where are you like on your boat? Are you on
Speaker 1: the on the boat somewhere off the shore of Long Beach?
Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like.
Speaker 2: Now coming from the island. And I was at my
Speaker 2: brothers and I met up with my dad. We all
Speaker 2: watch it at the house and so it's a great time.
Speaker 2: But I I couldn't help the stake because we put
Speaker 2: together another penknot break game where we come through in
Speaker 2: the sticks and you know, we wait for them to
Speaker 2: blink first. Now, the Phillies remind me of that, Padre
Speaker 2: and h. When Kings are going well, they're having a
Speaker 2: good time. They're screaming, they're celebrating, you know, they're they're swagging.
Speaker 13: Through the roof.
Speaker 2: But when Kings aren't going well, it seems like it's
Speaker 2: nervous time and they're really kind of turn within themselves,
Speaker 2: unlike the Dodgers, who seem to be John woodingasky that's
Speaker 2: never too high, never too low. So it really is
Speaker 2: a testament to what you're talking about that this team
Speaker 2: is ready to win, this team is ready to compete,
Speaker 2: and as much as people love the Phillies, they're not
Speaker 2: as good as these Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Nick, I feel like everybody was sure
Speaker 1: changing how good the Dodgers are playing right now, how
Speaker 1: talented they are. The Phillies are talented, but they don't
Speaker 1: have more talent one through nine and going onto the
Speaker 1: bench one through twenty six, they just don't. And at
Speaker 1: some point, you know, it reminds me of the I'm
Speaker 1: gonna draw the parallel again to the last team that
Speaker 1: won back to back World Series. They had Dominance, where
Speaker 1: they won four World Series championships with Jeter Pisada, those
Speaker 1: Yankee teams, and every postseason people would try to pick
Speaker 1: apart every little flaw of those teams and try to
Speaker 1: come up with an excuse or reason why another team
Speaker 1: that is not nearly as good as they are is
Speaker 1: going to beat the Yankees. Similar to when Jordan was
Speaker 1: winning six championships. Everybody wanted to say, Oh, this is
Speaker 1: how the Suns are gonna beat them, This is how
Speaker 1: the Knicks are gonna beat them. No they're not, No,
Speaker 1: they're not. The Dodgers are really good. They are going
Speaker 1: to win this series, and they're gonna go on and
Speaker 1: just remind everybody just how good they are in the
Speaker 1: next round. Everybody that I've talked to believes that whoever
Speaker 1: wins this series is going to win the World Series,
Speaker 1: and that's hard to argue. All Right, that'll do it
Speaker 1: for us on Dodger Talk tonight and Electric Night in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. I've seen it on TV,
Speaker 1: but I had always wanted to be here for a
Speaker 1: playoff game between the Dodgers and Phillies. And it was
Speaker 1: everything and more than I thought it would be. It
Speaker 1: was so loud, organically loud. They were so loud to
Speaker 1: start the game, and it was beautiful when Taoscar Hernandez
Speaker 1: quieted this sellout crowd here that was so rocous. Forty
Speaker 1: five thousand, seven hundred and seventy seven. And my good
Speaker 1: friend wine Mary actually made the game tonight. She said,
Speaker 1: on the way out, nobody was channing Phillies. They were
Speaker 1: channing Eagles on the way out. So even the Philly
Speaker 1: fans have turned their attention to the NFL. They've given
Speaker 1: up on this team. As as wine Mary has reported
Speaker 1: being a loyal Dodger fan coming to Philly, and she
Speaker 1: sent me a text said that fans were channing Eagles
Speaker 1: on the way out tonight. How about that they jumped
Speaker 1: off the bandwagon already. Game two is Monday. Blake Snell
Speaker 1: is on the mound for the Dodgers going up against
Speaker 1: Jesus Lozardo. Our coverage begins at two o'clock with Morongo
Speaker 1: Casino Dodgers on deck. First pitch at three TOHO eight
Speaker 1: p Pacific time, six to OZHO eight Eastern Time from
Speaker 1: the bank here in Philadelphia. That'll do it for us
Speaker 1: tonight and exciting night. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald for all
Speaker 1: his help, Thanks to Colin Yee back at our Burbank
Speaker 1: Studios for his help, and thanks to you for listening.
Speaker 1: In case you missed any of the show, you can
Speaker 1: find it on the iHeartRadio app. That's where you can
Speaker 1: find our pregame conversation with Mookie Betts, our postgame exciting
Speaker 1: Embrace interview with Taoscar Hernandez, and all the Dodger content
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Make sure you set it number
Speaker 1: one once again. The final score tonight from Philadelphia. The
Speaker 1: Dodgers come into Philly and take Game one of the
Speaker 1: NLDS by a final score of five to three. Don't
Speaker 1: forget you can't spell October without Tao. Have a great
Speaker 1: rest of your night. See you
