2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: It's winning it again.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,959

Speaker 5: those steel toed boots. They have incredible Well, you're a

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 5: man that works on a farm.

37
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 6: I do.

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 5: I grew up on a farm. I have some property

39
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: here in Roseville where I work a lot in the back,

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 5: you know, planting trees and all that stuff. That stuff

41
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 5: is phenomenal. I'm not just blowing smoke. I'm saying it's

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 5: check it out. It's good stuff.

43
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: That's why you had to go to the vet yesterday

44
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: to make sure those puppies are okay, because you know

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: they were a little sore sick.

46
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 5: And you know where the only place you can find

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: that scam scam right here. I haven't said it yet,

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 5: today I have to say it makes me feel good.

49
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 5: I feel like I almost purge a little bit of

50
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 5: the you know, the the pent up excitement about coming

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: on with you. Yeah, because because I get a little

52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 5: bit of that World Series stuff every time I come on.

53
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: It's kind of, you know, the anticipation of the show

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: and whatnot. But that's what these guys are thinking now.

55
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: They're the guys now a little insight to this. These

56
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 5: guys are glad the days here and the nerves are

57
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 5: actually now starting to wear off because it's here, the

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 5: days here, so it's it's it's now or never, and

59
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 5: the nerves are going away. It's going to become another day.

60
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: I have to believe that the nerves are coming more

61
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: so from the side of the Toronto Blue Jays, just

62
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: because they've never been here before.

63
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 5: Them being here.

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: Done that mentality for the Dodgers has to play in

65
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: their favor, especially with so many of these guys who

66
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: were here last year. So many of these guys that

67
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 4: we have been here for the stretch the last four

68
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: or five years, going to World series, winning World series,

69
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: going to postseasons. They know that, and Blake Trying even

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 4: talked about it. It's funny he yesterday said, this doesn't

71
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: feel like October. This feels like an extension of the

72
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 4: regular season. Just because we do this every year. It

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: feels like our season starts in February and spring training

74
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: and it's supposed to go to Halloween, and I like that.

75
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of cool that you expect to

76
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: be here and you should be here.

77
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: That's why that's why they're there, because they expect it

78
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 5: now here. Here's a couple quick factoids for you. As

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 5: we said before, Tim, this team is the winning his

80
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: team at home, fifty eight wins in the American League.

81
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 5: And this team can come back and beat you, come

82
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 5: back from behind. They did it more times than any

83
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 5: team in the American League as well. So the team

84
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 5: can fight back. That's why you got to have that

85
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: strength in the bullpen to come back. The fact that

86
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: this team has a penchant now for being able to

87
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: come back and win games.

88
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: It's a great point. They had the most comebacks in

89
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: baseball this year. They did it in Game seven of

90
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 4: that ALCS against a really good marriage bullpen. And the

91
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: whole thing we keep talking about since that Game seven

92
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: is Dan Wilson leaving his best closer, one of the

93
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: best in baseball, in that bullpen, having to watch another

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: reliever in a high leverage situation the seventh inning, give

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 4: up that three run home run to George Springer. I know,

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: I don't have to say, I hope. I know that

97
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 4: if there is a situation in any of these games

98
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 4: late sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth inning, Dave Roberts will not

99
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 4: hesitate to deploy a high leverage closer, not that rookie

100
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 4: Sasaki who necessarily would come out in the seventh inning.

101
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case

102
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: in a high leverage George Springer Vlad Guerrero up in

103
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: a situation late in this game, not the ninth inning,

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: we could see Sasaki out there, unlike what Dan Wilson

105
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 4: did with the Mariners.

106
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 6: Well, look, you know.

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: We saw very very recently with Dan Wilson and how

108
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: you know he had his best guy in the pin

109
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: watching o Munos. And we saw this a few years ago.

110
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: Remember for when when the Buck Showalter when he was

111
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 5: with Baltimore had his best guy in the bullpen watching

112
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 5: and that was a big thing. Then remember that, how

113
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 5: could you have your best guy watching when the game's

114
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 5: on the line. That was huge. So that thing is

115
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 5: stretched out and made an impact where guys don't do

116
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: that too much anymore. Those managers are going to CYA.

117
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: I got into it with Jerry Harriston, and this is

118
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 4: just remember right when the postseason started, I think it

119
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: was right before the wild card or right after the

120
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 4: Wildcard round. I was on Sports in LA with Jerry

121
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: Harrison and John Hartongue and Jerry and I got into

122
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: it back and forth because we were talking about Rokie

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: Sasaki and his usage, and I said, well, maybe Dave

124
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 4: Roberts ghost to him in the sixth inning or seventh inning,

125
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: and Jerry laughed, and we actually got into it via

126
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: text afterwards. I hope you're listening, Jerry. I'm gonna call

127
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: you out right now.

128
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 5: We got into it.

129
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: Jerry says, there's no way. There's no way he doesn't

130
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 4: he comes in that early in the game. There's no way.

131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 4: I think in this situation here in the World Series,

132
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 4: if the Dodgers have the lead and it's the seventh inning,

133
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 4: in a high leverage part of the lineup for the

134
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: Toronto Blue Jays, I think we do see Roki Sasaki

135
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: because then you can piece together the hitters six, seven, eight,

136
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: nine behind them in the eighth and ninth inning or

137
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: wherever that you know, scenario sets up. But if we're

138
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: in this I'll say, if we're in the sixth inning

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 4: or beyond and it's a high leverage situation, I want

140
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: Roki Sasaki out there, and I don't care if it's

141
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 4: with one out in the sixth I don't care if

142
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: it's to start the seventh because you need to get

143
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 4: those outs right then, right now in order to hang

144
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: on for a win.

145
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 5: Steve, Yeah, you know, I see both sides of this.

146
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: I certainly understand where Jerry's coming from. And the point is,

147
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: you bring Roki Sasaki into the sixth boy, you better

148
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 5: have something ready for the ninth because that lineup's gonna

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 5: turn over again. So if you're in the sixth inning,

150
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 5: your lineup's turning over again. So do you do you

151
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 5: have faith in your guys that can can quell that

152
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 5: that threat now? Or do you want to have you know,

153
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 5: Sasaki in the ninth now if it's a little bit later,

154
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 5: if it's the eighth, Uh, yeah, you're probably not going

155
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 5: to face that same line up again because you're only

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: talking about three outs. But the sixth inning you're gonna

157
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: face him again. I got that.

158
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: That's the only thing I'm thinking about. I got confidence

159
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: in blakee trying to. I got confidence in a Justin Robleski.

160
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 4: I got confidence in an Anthony Bonda to get me

161
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 4: come out a couple outs in the ninth inning. That's

162
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: why I feel like I could go to Roki Sasaki earlier.

163
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: Okay, so just just playing Devil's avacur here. Sure you

164
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 5: don't have confidence before that get they can get that out. No,

165
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 5: look at you throwing it right back in my face. Well,

166
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to be I'm trying to be fair. Yeah,

167
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. I mean, I mean, you

168
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 5: and I are others from another mother. But I'm just

169
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: trying to I'm trying to be an at I'm trying

170
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: to be Devil's adage.

171
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, you have righty's and George Springer and Vlad Guerreau.

172
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: So you're gonna go to a righty out of the bullpen, right,

173
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: not gonna use a left hander in that situation. So

174
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 4: who's your high leverage right hander out of the bullpen? Okay,

175
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 4: you can make a case for two guys, right Blake

176
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: Trying and Rookie Sasaki. Yeah, if it's a sixth or

177
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 4: seventh inning. I'm okay going to Roki Susaki because I'm

178
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,239
Speaker 4: keeping that bullet in the chamber there with Blake trying

179
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: so to speak, if I need him in the seventh,

180
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: eighth or ninth inning. But I also have my high

181
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: leverage left handers ready to go locked and loaded for

182
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: the seventh, eighth and ninth inning. So I feel pretty

183
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 4: good about the collective after a Rokie Sosaki, I.

184
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: See what we're saying.

185
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 7: Though.

186
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 5: What I understand about that, and how I get that

187
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: somewhat is that Blake Tryingon certainly had the experience. He's

188
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 5: thirty eight years old. He's not just you know, come

189
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 5: on the farm. He's been there, and he's been in

190
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 5: tough situations right, not only with the organization of the Dodgers,

191
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 5: but other you know, so he's he's been there and

192
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: done that. So in the ninth inning, he's not going

193
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 5: to be you know, he's not going to be flummixed

194
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: and say, oh God, I can't believe where I am

195
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: right now.

196
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: He's he's gonna be okay in there, yeah, no doubt,

197
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: no doubt. I feel pretty good about this Dodgers' bullpen.

198
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 4: And again in case you're just joining it us. Alex

199
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: Vessian not with the team. That was known yesterday Dave

200
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 4: Roberts and the Dodgers announced that at the workouts there

201
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 4: at the Rogers Center. He's dealing with the family issue,

202
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 4: a personal issue. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

203
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: He is not with the team in Toronto. So baseball wise,

204
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 4: what does that mean? We'll find out here shortly when

205
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 4: the Dodgers have to announce their roster for the World Series.

206
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 4: Will they keep him off the roster most likely? And

207
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: then baseball will let him back in once he's available,

208
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: if he's available to come back and help out this

209
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 4: Dodgers team, and that's that's a whole in the story.

210
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: But who will take his roster spot? We've been talking

211
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: about it, Tanner Scott most likely the candidate to get

212
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 4: that roster your spot and to help out this Dodger's bullpen.

213
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 4: How are you feeling about that? Dodger fans eight six

Speaker 8: I got it like two or three years ago. Steve's

225
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 8: best decision I ever made. It is incredibly fast, So

226
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 8: it depends on the center. But my guy doctor Schneider

227
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 8: and Corona shout out to him. He has two different lasers.

228
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 8: You have one laser that's twenty seconds in each eye,

229
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 8: fifteen seconds in each high and then you're done.

230
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 5: That's it total, that's it.

231
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 8: Then you're done, Lasik done, go home, go to sleep.

232
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 8: Next day, you're good.

233
00:10:59,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: Boom.

234
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 5: Now Andrew, do they put you out?

235
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 6: Do you?

236
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 5: Did you get a little they give you a little cocktail

237
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 5: medicine or whatever.

238
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 8: So they have like these numbing drops that they put

239
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 8: in your eye. So basically when they have the you know,

240
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 8: I'm not sure where the couple that holds your eyes open,

241
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 8: you don't even feel it. So really, yeah, you don't

242
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 8: feel anything. Your eyes don't burn from the laser because

243
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 8: like they're putting cross in your eyes is like as

244
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 8: the laser is going, so your eyes are moisturized. Well, yeah,

245
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 8: twenty seconds, twenty seconds fifteen fifteen.

246
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 6: You're done?

247
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Wow?

248
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: All right?

249
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: Are you feeling better about Andrew? Thank you so much,

250
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,360

Speaker 4: better now about this possibility sex?

252
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 7: Yeah?

253
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can see my way into doing this posic.

254
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 5: I'm excited about the game tonight, Tim, cause see what

255
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 5: you're doing there. Give me some runway here. Okay, really,

256
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 5: but I am excited about possibly doing this later.

257
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: You know, I might do that, all right, works, I mean,

258
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: I'm not going to ever do it, but I think,

259
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 4: you know, if if that's something you want to get done,

260
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: and it sounds like you're seriously thinking about getting it done,

261
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: then we got to find you a good doctor to

262
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: take care of it. Sounds like the procedure is way

263
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 4: easier than it was twenty years ago, and the stories

264
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 4: I heard about that.

265
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's a good thing. Yeah, you don't want

266
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 5: to you don't want to be a you know, one

267
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 5: of these practice guys that get in there's a guinea pig.

268
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 5: But I know they come a long way for this,

269
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: So I'm feeling pretty good about it. I might do it.

270
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 5: I might do it.

271
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy. Let's

272
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 4: go to Marvin in downtown LA. Thanks for being patient

273
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 4: on this Friday morning as he leads up to Gay

274
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: one of the World Series.

275
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 5: Hi doing Marvin, Good.

276
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: Morning, guys and thoughts and players for Racial's family. So

277
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: for the Blue Jays, Springer and Beached are coming off

278
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: me injuries that'd being said. My question is are the

279
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: Dodger hitters and pictures going to exploit and their weaknesses

280
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: like getting it to right to make Springer one more

281
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: often even though he has eighteen recently, and throwing pitches

282
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 3: to each other difficult to handle, make it so uncomfortable

283
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: at the play, especially if it gets all just thoughts.

284
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 3: Thank you, Steve in.

285
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 4: All right, mar I appreciate it. I'm interested to see

286
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: what the Blue Jays are going to do. And uh,

287
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: maybe I missed their announcement, but if Bashett is on

288
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: this roster and at all science point that he's going

289
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: to be playing in this World Series, I don't see

290
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 4: him playing shortstop because of the knee. They may stay

291
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 4: with the situation they're going now, and Springer, who's been

292
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: their DH Steve, he may now have to go out

293
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: to the outfield him play and letting bobas Shehett be

294
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 4: the designated hitter that could change things up for this

295
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: Dodgers team. But for the Blue Jays, they just got

296
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 4: to find a spot for Boba shed somewhere in that lineup.

297
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 5: Okay, this the Boba Sheett deal. He's gonna have to

298
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 5: prove it to me if I'm the Dodgers that he

299
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 5: is one hundred percent and then he can hit. He's

300
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 5: had a long layoff. I think that hurts him. I

301
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 5: think the Dodgers, as Marvin pointed out, our caller, great call, Marvin,

302
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 5: you can exploit that Springer. No, he's back. You saw

303
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 5: bolt that he hit to put him into the World Series.

304
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 5: This guy's a big time you know, of the moment player.

305
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 5: I don't have to be proved. It doesn't have to

306
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: be proved to me that Springer's ready. He certainly showed

307
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 5: that even though he took one off the kneecap that

308
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: had an exit velocity of fifty five miles per hour.

309
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 5: Did you see that, tim I did. The ball coming

310
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: off his kneecap generated an exit velocity of fifty five

311
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: miles per hour. That's incredible, and that guy's back and playing.

312
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: Don't tell me woe is mean he goes down on

313
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: one knee when he swings, when he misses our fouls,

314
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: it off that, Oh I'm hurt. That's such a bunch

315
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: of malarky. Don't fall for it. It's not true. He's

316
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 5: one hundred percent. I'm not so sure about Boba Schett.

317
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 5: One hundred and eighty one hits during the year. The

318
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 5: guy can hit, but I don't know if he's ready

319
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: right now. That's a long layoff. Bro.

320
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: The Seattle Mariners game plan backfired on them for George Springer.

321
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: They were throwing him inside, throwing him inside, and throwing

322
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: him inside some more. And it was the rerun home

323
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: run in the seventh Inny into Game seven, in which

324
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: when we talked about it, he opened up and knew

325
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: that fastball was coming in and he turned on it.

326
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 4: That's a great job by him recognizing that they're throwing

327
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: him inside, opening up the hibs and turning on a

328
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: fastball that was on the inner half of the plate.

329
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: If you're the Dodger, Steve is that the same game plan.

330
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: Pound the strike zone in on George Springer, back him up,

331
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: make him feel uncomfortable in the plate. That would be

332
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 4: my game plan for him and flat early on set

333
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: the tone. Hey, don't let your feet get too comfortable

334
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 4: in that batter's box, because we're not gonna let you.

335
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say the old adage of get ahead

336
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 5: of him inside, get him out away, and that's what

337
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: you do. The problem with getting him out of way

338
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 5: is if you throw them the slider, you hope to

339
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 5: have some tilt on it. If you hang it, they

340
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 5: bang it. Okay, that's the problem you have. You gotta

341
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 5: be sure that you get that slider plowing downward. Even

342
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 5: if it goes into the dirt, you know you got it.

343
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: Will Smith back there blocking it. You have confidence with

344
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 5: him that you can throw that pitch in the dirt

345
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: even with somebody on third base. That's the advantage of

346
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: having a great catcher that can snuff that ball out

347
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: and won't get past him. But I think that's how

348
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 5: you get Springer out. The reason he hit the ball

349
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 5: out of the park is they tried to get it

350
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 5: way inside and they did not do that. They left

351
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: the ball middle in, and if you push pitch him

352
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: middle in, he will crush the ball. So you can't

353
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 5: let him rush the ball middle in get it in.

354
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: If you're gonna throw it away, have some tilt on

355
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: that slider and he won't hit it.

356
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: Let's go out to Eric and Moreno Valley. Next up

357
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: here with Saxon. Kate's in the am on game day

358
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: for Game one of the World Series. First pitch at five.

359
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 4: Oh waight, right here at your home with the Dodgers.

360
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: A FFI seven la sports.

361
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: I doing Eric, I'm doing great. Yeah, I'm just so

362
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: excity about the game today. It's gonna be a heavyweight match.

363
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: And uh yeah, those baseball is the shirts they run tight.

364
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: I haven't a few that I don't fit me anymore

365
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: just because I gain way, not at a muscular or anything.

366
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: And yeah, so I think the keys on the offensive side,

367
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: I think Monthy needs to have a good series and

368
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Pahes you need to have smart at bats and pahz

369
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: please don't throw the ball away. Hits your cutoff man

370
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 2: and the pitching side. If the starters go along, then

371
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: we need to wrap it up at the end. And

372
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: if you know they need some help early in the game,

373
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: then these guys got to step it up. Like Tanner

374
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: Scott you know, hopefully he's on it. And I think, yeah,

375
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: you do use Rokie and high every situation, even if

376
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: it's early in the game. And hey, Steve, do you

377
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: remember what you did? You're at first at bat in

378
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty eight season.

379
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: Question is do you remember it?

380
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 8: And I think, yeah, you sing you roky?

381
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: All right.

382
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: I appreciate the phone call, Eric. What happened to him?

383
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 4: He was listening to himself and he was waiting for

384
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 4: an answer. But we all know what you did to

385
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 4: start off the nineteen eighty eight Well, I.

386
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 5: Don't like it. You grond it out the short right. Well, no,

387
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 5: I didn't do that, Jim. There's a reason he brought

388
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 5: it up. I don't like to talk about it.

389
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 7: You know.

390
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: Now, you started the season with a bang? And which pitch?

391
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 5: Was it? The first pitch? Well? Yeah, I thought, I thought,

392
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 5: why wait around? Yeah, let's get this over with. Let's

393
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: start eighty eight on. The guy's gonna throw me a cookie.

394
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 5: I know it because he gets me out all the

395
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: time and the minor leagues. You broke five bats in

396
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: one day in the Sacks household. He broke three of

397
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 5: mine and two of my brothers for that cutter, So

398
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 5: I knew he was going to throw me that cutter

399
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: to get me out. So he's going to start the

400
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 5: season off by throwing a cookie right over the plate.

401
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 5: He's gonna be oh one, and then he's gonna demolish me.

402
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 5: And I thought, you know what, let me guess a

403
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 5: little bit here, and I guess, and it was I

404
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: guessed right, and there was It was a metaphor, yeah,

405
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 5: for the season because we went on to win the

406
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 5: World Series, So Hunter was kind of like a stamp

407
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 5: to get it started. Love it.

408
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: And keep in mind, Dodger fans, when we're talking about

409
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 4: the bullpen in Rokie Susaki, you have to keep in

410
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: mind it's a two three to two series, so they'll

411
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 4: play back to back games day off on Sunday, but

412
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: then it's three straight games Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. We have

413
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 4: not seen Rokie Susaki pitch in three consecutive games, so

414
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 4: that means other arms and the Dodgers' bullpen are gonna

415
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: have to get out. Other arms in the Dodgers' bullpen

416
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 4: may be asked to close out one of those games

417
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles. That's why it's so important, I think

418
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 4: to get one, if not two wins in Toronto. But

419
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 4: worst case, you got to come back tied one to one,

420
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 4: so you can be back and have a little levee.

421
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 5: I think you got it. I think the Dodgers are thinking,

422
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 5: we're going to win both of these games there and

423
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: take out that whole idea about how good they are

424
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 5: at home, you know, go there and get right in

425
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: the heart of it and take two of them away.

426
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 5: But you're right, Tim, absolutely right. You've done your homework.

427
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 5: You knew that they're gonna come back and have three

428
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 5: in a row. Okay, down here in southern California. So

429
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 5: what's that's the thing that's gonna happen. You've got to

430
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: use other arms. I'm just hoping we don't have a

431
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 5: collective gasp in the La Basin about people thinking, oh, no,

432
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 5: you know, Bend is in. You know, Sheenan's coming in.

433
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: What is this?

434
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 5: You know, God forbid we have trying it in closing

435
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 5: the game. No, that's good, that's you know, that's a

436
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: good thing. You gotta do that. It's gonna happen.

437
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 4: It's gonna happen. And tonight we'll find out how they

438
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 4: peace out nine innings behind Blake Snell, who hopefully gives

439

Speaker 4: John and Rancho Cucamonga. John, thanks for being paid. Should

467
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: walkome to Saxon Kate today? Am how you doing?

468
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: I'm doing fine.

469
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 7: I'm doing fine, and I'm just excited about the game.

470
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 7: I love the fact that Blake Snells I'm.

471
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: On the mound.

472
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 7: I call him the Professor of the Mound because he's

473
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 7: gonna he is calculating, and the fact that he's gonna

474
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 7: be setting the table. I think he's gonna have a

475
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 7: great game. Don't be surprised if he has a no hitter.

476
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 7: I'm calling it right here, no hitter. And that the

477
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 7: man is just calculating. And once again, the Professor of

478
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 7: the Mount is gonna is gonna set the table.

479
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: Well hope, So you know what I kind of like

480
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 5: Saxy is.

481
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 4: Trey Sevens is getting all the talk leading up to

482
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 4: Game one, and he's been really good. There's no doubt

483
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: the twenty four year old's burst onto the scene and

484
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 4: all eyes have been on him so far through the

485
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: ALCS and what he's done. But Blake Snell's sort of

486
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 4: just sitting there and not a lot of attention. Talked

487
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: to the media yesterday for a little bit. Yeah, he's

488
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: been to a World Series before, he did it with

489
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: the Tampa Bay Rays.

490
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 5: Kind of feels like.

491
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: That snake just kind of sitting in the grass, you know,

492
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 4: just kind of laying out there, nobody's paying attention to him,

493
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 4: and then he's gonna ready to pounce. Yeah on the

494
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 4: Toronto Blue Jays tonight. I like this situation. You gotta

495
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: get maybe a guy who feels like he's a little

496
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 4: snub too, you know. Yeah, I'mamoto did his thing. You know,

497
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 4: Otani's getting all the love for what he did in

498
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 4: Game four, and Blake Snell's like, hey, dude, I'm the

499
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: game one starter.

500
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 5: What about me? Yeah, he's all coiled up and hissing

501
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: right now, ready to go out there and do it.

502
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 5: But you know what, like John said, I'm looking for

503
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: a no hitter. Okay, people may look at that and

504
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 5: say that's not gonna happen, but you know what, he

505
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 5: was had a no hitter against the Dodgers through six

506
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 5: and they took him out of the game his last outing.

507
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 5: He was one hit through eight innings, so he was

508
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 5: knocking on the door. You know what, This Toronto team

509
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: can really hit. And so I'm not I'm not putting

510
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 5: anything out there that couldn't happen like a no hitter,

511
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 5: but that, I mean, could could we see something like

512
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 5: that after what o'tani did? The the fireworks would just

513
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 5: probably be too much.

514
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not gonna hold my breath. I'm not gonna

515
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: sit here and hope that he gets a no hitter

516
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 4: and watch every pitch like, oh please, no hitter. I mean,

517
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 4: just go out and dominate. That's all I'm asking for.

518
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: Go out there and Blake Snell at least early on this.

519
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 4: This is what's important. Shut up that crowd at the

520
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: Rogers Center by limiting the Blue Jays offense. Don't let

521
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 4: George Springer get on base, don't let Vlad Guerrero get

522
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: on base, don't let that middle and bottom of the

523
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 4: lineup for the Toronto Blue Jays, which has been very

524
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 4: pesky and getting on base and kind of doing the

525
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 4: small things. Don't let them do that. Put up zeros,

526
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: limit the traffic, and I think the longer and sooner

527
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 4: Blake Snell can do that. Tonight the Dodgers offense can

528
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 4: get going. You know how you're gonna be back, Savage.

529
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 5: You know you're gonna be able to tell tim if

530
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: if if Blake snells strike one, that's how you're gonna

531
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 5: be able to tell if he has one of these.

532
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: Throughout his first nine hitters in the line up, he

533
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 5: has like seven out of nine strike one. Watch out,

534
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 5: Blue Jay's are in for a long night. I think

535
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 5: that I would venture to say, I would guess my

536
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: educated guess is the Dodgers are gonna go at you,

537
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 5: Savage and really make him work. Okay, he lives in deception.

538
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 5: He's got good stuff. He throws ninety six, he lives

539
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 5: at he sits at ninety five to ninety six. He

540
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: can go up to ninety eight. He's got a good curveball.

541
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: You can spike that thing in the ground. But his

542
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 5: may his best pitch is that devastating and you think

543
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 5: Roki Sasaki has a devastating splitter, and he does. It's

544
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 5: a different splitter. Tim It's it's you call it a forkball,

545
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 5: whatever you want. Sasaki's is more violent it it it

546
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: gets up, you can go up in the high end

547
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 5: the zone and it can hit the ground. I mean,

548
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 5: he's got like a five foot drop. I would say

549
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 5: that you Savage is more of an insidious drip on

550
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 5: the hitter, and that is you know, it's it's not

551
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 5: a big mystery. You can see it coming out of

552
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 5: his hand. But the thing is it just kind of

553
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 5: wears on you because the ball never gets there. It's

554
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 5: just you see it and you know, okay, I got

555
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 5: a good beat on it. It's coming out of that

556
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 5: same window as a fastball, and it just goes and

557
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 5: goes and goes, and it never gets to home plate.

558
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: So it's like a change up, but it's got some

559
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 5: fall to it gravity I guess essentially takes that sucker down.

560
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: It's not a big violin drop. It just kind of

561
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 5: kind of, you know, kind of fades out and it's

562
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 5: a really good pitch. He gets a lot of swing

563
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 5: and miss on it. I would make him bring that

564
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 5: ball up in the strike zone, and that's how you

565
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 5: can get him to, you know, give up some hits

566
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 5: and some walks.

567
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 4: And twenty two years and eighty eight days old, tray

568
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 4: You Savage, the starter in Game one tonight for the

569
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 4: Blue Jays, will be the second youngest Game one starting

570
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 4: pitcher in World Series history, only behind the Dodgers Ralph Branka,

571
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: who did it in nineteen forty seven at the age

572
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 4: of twenty one years old. So right away my antenna

573
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 4: goes up, Steve Sacks. The pressure's on this kid, Blake

574
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 4: Snell's gonna deal now. The pressure's on the flip side

575
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: on this kid to go out there and throw strikes

576
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 4: against the team that's not gonna chase in the Dodgers,

577
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 4: and that's gonna get after you if you make a mistake.

578
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: All pressure is on this kid tonight.

579
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 5: And if that.

580
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 4: Split finger isn't dancing, isn't biting, so to speak, he

581
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: could be in trouble. And the Dodgers are one of

582
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 4: those teams like Shark's just circling around him and will

583
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 4: absolutely put him out of his misery. I think the

584
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: pressure is gonna be something that we're gonna be talking

585
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: about on Monday. That got to this kid, the moment,

586
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 4: the stage. I think it's something to keep in mind tonight.

587
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I'm not an advocate of taking pitches

588
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 5: right down the middle, you know that. Tim, Sure, I'm saying,

589
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 5: get a good pitch and go to buggy whipping. But

590
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 5: the thing is, this guy puts you in deeper counts

591
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 5: because you know he doesn't come right at you. He will,

592
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 5: you know, be ball one. And then if that's the case,

593
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 5: you you work that. You work that thing. If a

594
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 5: pitcher wants to go deep in the count and not

595
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 5: give you something to hit, go deep in the count,

596
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: I'm all for that too. So you may get some

597
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 5: of that tonight.

598
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 4: Let's hear from Game one starter Blake Snell for the

599
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: Dodgers in his top with the media last night.

600
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 9: Hey, Blake obviously pitched the World Series before, but going

601
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 9: into this one, how does the night before compare to

602
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 9: the maybe that first time?

603
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean for me personally, it's just everything gets

604
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 10: quiet and focused and just start processing what you want

605
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 10: to happen, what you're gonna face, and just start, yeah,

606
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 10: building from that.

607
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 9: Play your last World Series game. Everybody remembers hitting total

608
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 9: dominance until they took you out. How long did it

609
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 9: take you to process that whole night? And how often

610
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 9: do you still think about it? And now that you're

611
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 9: back here finally?

612
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, I I don't think about it really at all anymore.

613
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 10: When it happened, I'd say probably like a week I

614
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 10: was thinking about it, what could have been different, what

615
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 10: I could have done, the ups and downs of just

616
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 10: you know, feelings. But then I ultimately led to if

617
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 10: I would have done more early on in my career

618
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 10: to to gain his trust, it would have been a

619
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 10: different outcome. I think, so learned from it and ultimately

620
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 10: ultimately it made me a better pitcher, Uh, just because

621
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 10: I understand the games more than just myself, just the pieces,

622
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 10: the parts and how it all works. So yeah, I

623
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 10: mean for about a week, you know, the ups and

624
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 10: downs of could have been a World Series champ this

625
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 10: but there's still Game seven and who knows if we

626
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 10: win Game six, and just so much in the air that, yeah,

627
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 10: I finally just let it go.

628
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 9: Second round from Blink Claudion.

629
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 7: Blake, how do you approach big game hitters like Derero

630
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 7: Junior and Springer?

631
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: Uh?

632
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 10: I can't really give too much away. They're just their

633
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 10: veteran hitters. They know what they're doing, they know what

634
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 10: they're looking for.

635
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 6: They're going to be.

636
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 10: Like, yeah, I don't know how to like I can

637
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 10: tell you in a week.

638
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 9: Up front of your left Blake.

639
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 4: All right, there's Blake Snell talking to the media last night,

640
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: referenced again Game six of the twenty twenty World Series

641
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 4: and his performance against the Dodgers when he's with the

642
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Rays. Hey, I'll take that Steve. If he

643
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: get pitch like he did tonight, like he did against

644
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 4: the Dodgers back in twenty twenty in the bubble in Arlington.

645
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 5: Sign you up for that any day, right, Oh? Absolutely?

646
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 5: And I don't see why he won't have the same

647
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 5: type of attack mode. And Blake's a smart guy. You

648
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 5: can hear him talking. He's not going to give anything away.

649
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: But you know, I just got some feeling about this,

650
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 5: about this, uh, the kid they're facing tonight, and I man,

651
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: I give him all the respect in the world. He

652
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 5: is really something. Just I've watched him pitch a few

653
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 5: times and.

654
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 4: Feeling you got a good feeling or a bad feeling.

655
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 5: I just think the Dodgers are gonna just thump this guy. Yes,

656
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 5: I just really do. I mean, I don't know. I

657
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 5: don't know why. I can't tell you any logical reason

658
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 5: why other than I think he's gonna be well scouted.

659
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 5: There's gonna be nobody on that team that's more well

660
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: scouted than Trey Ya Savage. I mean, he's They know

661
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: that this is the key on that pitching staff. Not

662
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 5: to overlook anything because they got good guys. But you

663
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 5: thumped this guy early, and you know, it's like giving

664
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 5: Toronto a good short right hand to the job. They're

665
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 5: gonna we b what what you know? We don't know.

666
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 5: This doesn't happen to this guy. Oh my gosh. So

667
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 5: I think the Dodgers are gonna make him really earn it.

668
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 5: I don't think they're going to be flailing and chasing

669
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 5: a lot. He's gonna get some strikeouts with that with

670
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 5: the fork Bocaz, it's really good. But I think for

671
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 5: the most part, the Dodgers is going to really scout

672
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 5: this guy out pretty good.

673
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: The Toronto Blue Jays World Series roster is out fourteen

674
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: position players, twelve pitchers. Bobaschett is on the roster okay

675
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 4: for the World Series. For the Toronto Blue Jays. So

676
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: there we go. It is official. Bobashett is back and

677
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: he will be a part of this Blue Jays here

678
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 4: in the World Series. So that is a big, big

679
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: git for the Toronto Blue Jays and their offense. Where

680
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 4: does he fit in defensively, Well, I guess he was

681
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: taking ground balls at second base last night, so we

682
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 4: could see him playing defense. We could see him as

683
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 4: a designated hitter. Now we await the Dodgers roster and

684
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 4: what well that twenty six man roster look like when

685
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: it is announced here shortly. So the Blue Jays have

686

713

00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 6: To sell uh.

715
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 11: I think you try to put it out of your

716
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 11: mind kind of because you you do what you do,

717
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 11: you kind of get ready.

718
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 6: You you get.

719
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 11: Ready as a player, you get ready as a coach

720
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 11: or a manager and then you, you know, try to

721
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 11: try to get it to come together.

722
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 6: You know how hard it is. But it's been really fun.

723
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 5: Obviously it was in a sense it was just like

724
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 5: a relief.

725
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 11: I guess, but I don't I don't know if if

726
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 11: that's the right word, but really more. But again, go

727
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 11: back to our team, watching them play and how they've

728
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 11: responded to everything.

729
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 6: And and what we've had to do to get here.

730
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 11: Is has been fun to what you meant to to

731
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 11: what you meant to Yankee fans during your time there

732
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 11: as a player.

733
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 2: Do you realize now that they're actually rooty for the

734
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: Blue Jays to win the World Series because they want

735
00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: you to get that?

736
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 6: Has anybody kind of conveyed that to you or do

737
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 6: you have that sense that only.

738
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 11: A couple of a couple of hundred techs some different people.

739
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 11: But no, it's it's been a really humbling feeling that people,

740
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 11: you know, kind of want that for you.

741
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 6: But for me, you know, I'm happy about that, but

742
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 6: it does keep going back to our players. It's it's

743
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 6: really about them. I'm a I'm kind of blended.

744
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 11: Into the woodwork here, not really, you know, John's the manager.

745
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 11: He's the ones that's that's doing all the legwork, making

746
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 11: a lot of the tough decisions. A lot of different

747
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 11: departments are doing all the work with the hitters and

748
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 11: the pitchers and things like that.

749
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 6: I think, like Tomorrow and myself, what kind of here

750
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 6: to support John, support anybody that we can within the group.

751
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 6: I kind of look at myself as a perspective coach

752
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 6: more than anything else right now.

753
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 11: As the season went on, it's like, hey, let's keep

754
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 11: this in perspective.

755
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 6: Uh, if we lose a couple of games, we're fine.

756
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 6: Things like that.

757
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 7: Donny, all the years as a player, coach or managers,

758
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 7: which one before this one did you feel like, I

759
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 7: think we're gonna make a.

760
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 11: Sure I like the ninety four and ninety five teams

761
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 11: I played on felt really good.

762
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 6: The eighty five team was really good. Teams in LA.

763
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 11: The teams I had in LA, I felt like I

764
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 11: had really good shots. The year we got beat by

765
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 11: the Mets, I thought was a tough We got.

766
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 6: Beat in game five.

767
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 11: I think out in LA we had to grom on

768
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 11: the ropes and we didn't.

769
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 6: We weren't able to put him away.

770
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 11: That one that you're thinking about there's been a there's

771
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 11: been a few teams that, you know.

772
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing, you know, is when you

773
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 6: get into the playoffs.

774
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 11: Anything can happen in a short series. It's not one

775
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 11: sixty two, it's seven. Who gets hot, you know, who

776
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 11: makes the big play, who gets the big hit, You

777
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 11: get momentum, roll in your way, get pressure on somebody else.

778
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 6: Anything can happen.

779
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 11: So I think all of those teams you feel like

780
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 11: you can't even in Miami, you know, the.

781
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 6: Year of COVID.

782
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 11: You know, we went that first round in Chicago, and

783
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 11: you know what, we got a couple of good young

784
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 11: pitchers out there that could have got hot and we

785
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 11: could have moved on, but we weren't able to.

786
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 6: But you always believe that you can.

787
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 4: All right, there's Don matting Lee, your former teammate Steve Sacks,

788
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 4: and he said the eighty five Yankees, the ninety four,

789
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 4: ninety five Yankees, which you were gone by then, but

790
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 4: he liked those teams, thought they had a chance to

791
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 4: win a World Series.

792
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 5: And this is the.

793
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 4: First time, it is forty years of baseball that he's

794
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 4: actually participating in a World Series as a bench coach.

795
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's It's amazing a guy with that talent and

796
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 5: that makeup and all that this is his first time.

797
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I wish I could have saw him as

798
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 5: a player do it, because he was off the chart

799
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 5: as a player, hardest worker, developed all of that power

800
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 5: in his swing from from sheer technique. It wasn't just

801
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 5: guys like have brute strength like a you know, like

802
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 5: an Aaron Judge or you know Otani does. He had

803
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 5: to develop that home run power through technique. And that's

804
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:03,439
Speaker 5: what I really admire about him.

805
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:08,680

00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 4: of the postseason run. Infield outfielders Tommy Edmund, Kekey Hernandez,

Speaker 4: All right, so far status quo with the roster now

814
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 4: let's get to the pitchers for the Dodgers start this

815
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 4: World Series. We'll start with the starters, Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto,

816
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 4: Tyler Glass. Now who am I missing?

817
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 5: Show?

818
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 4: Hey O Tani mentioned him already? All right, here are

819
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 4: your relievers for the Dodgers World Series roster. Justin Robleski,

820
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 4: Blake Trining, Immit Shean, Clayton Kershaw, and Gardo Enriquez, Jack Dryer,

821
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 4: Anthony Bonda, and Will Climb. No Tanner Scott. Why the

822
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 4: World Series roster? The Dodgers instead have gone with right

823
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 4: hander Will kleinb at Ingardo Enriquez on the roster. No

824
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 4: Benkus Sparrius, who was on the al the NLCS roster. Instead,

825
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: they're going with Edgardo and Riquez and no Tanner Scott.

826
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 4: They're electing to go with the extra right hander in

827
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: Will Climb. It makes sense, Steve, you don't need another

828
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 4: left hander in Tanner Scott. You needed another right handed arm.

829
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 4: Will Klein is that guy making the World Series roster.

830
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:10,720
Speaker 4: So I'm not surprised, but here we are no Tanner

831
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 4: Scott on the World Series roster.

832
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, so now everybody's not gonna have to wonder about that.

833
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 5: You know, it's a I get it. I mean this,

834
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 5: these guys have guys on the right handed side that

835
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 5: can really sting you. I mean George Springer, Vladi Guerrero.

836
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 5: You know, you got Ernie Clement, who's a really good

837
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 5: player that doesn't get much publicity. But you got guys

838
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 5: all throughout that, throughout that lineup that can really stick it. So, uh,

839
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 5: this is kind of maybe it's a good thing that

840
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 5: they're gonna be able to neutralize, you know, that righty

841
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 5: lefty matchup favor to the hitter.

842
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 4: We'll find out when Dave Roberts or Andrew Freeman speak

843
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 4: to the media later on. Maybe we'll get some more

844
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 4: from David Vassa, if he's got any insiders hearing anything,

845
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 4: certainly about the future of Alex Vassia, who again is

846
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 4: not with the team. He is away from the team,

847
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 4: not in Toronto with his wife, dealing with personal matters

848
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 4: thoughts with him and his family, and while he is away,

849
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 4: the Dodgers again going with Will Klein and Ingardo Henriquez

850
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 4: right handers in the bullpen. And we'll find out if

851
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 4: Alex Vestia, if it's a big if, if he's even

852
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: able to come back and join this postseason World Series roster.

853
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 4: How does that affect the roster? Will he be allowed

854
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 4: to come back? So those are all questions will eventually

855
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 4: get answered, But the big one has been answered as

856
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 4: far as no Tanner Scott on this World Series roster,

857
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 4: the big free agent pickup four years, seventy two million dollars.

858
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 4: He was not a part of the NLCS roster, taking

859
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 4: off the NLDS roster because of a medical emergency. Said

860
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: he was ready to go, said he was healthy, has

861
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 4: been throwing sim games and bullpen sessions the last week

862
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 4: plus and made it known that he was good to

863
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: go and ready to join this World Series run. But

864
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 4: no Tanner Scott on the World Series roster.

865
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,959
