1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: They say. The hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

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

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: It's winning it again.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 3: This Yearing is not trying to win a championship. They're

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 3: trying to repeat.

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: It's October baseball for your world champion in La Dodger.

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty five Dodgers are the National League's Western

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 4: Division champions.

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: And you know what that means.

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 5: Saxon Kates and AM is back.

00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: Hi.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 5: Here we are Thursday morning, October thirtyth twenty twenty five. Yes,

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 5: the world continues. Despite the Dodgers down three games to

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 5: two of his best at seven World Series, the Dodgers

23
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 5: their backs up against the wall. It a must win

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 5: game six Friday night out of Rogers Center in Toronto, Canada.

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 5: Tim Kats joined by two time World Series champion from

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 5: a Rookie of the Year and our favorite number three

27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 5: of all time, the one and only Steve sax Saxy.

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 5: Good morning, Good morning, Tim.

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: How are you?

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 5: That's apid question. I'm not good. That's that's like you

31
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 5: going to Starbucks and the briste asking you, what are

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 5: you doing this weekend?

33
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: What's your plans this weekend? Yeah, my stranger that I've

34
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: never met before, let me tell you. Well, let's sit

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: down for a few minutes. Anyway, go ahead.

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 5: I am not doing good. After last night's six to

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 5: one Toronto Blue Jays butt kicking of the Dodgers, Blake

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 5: Snell got touched off early and often. Trey Y Savage

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 5: all of a sudden looks like a Cy Young Award winner.

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 5: And he's been in the big leagues all of forty

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: seven days and he gets a win last night. Now

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: three and one on the year. Seven innings, twelve strikeouts,

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 5: zero walks. I mean, you're talking about a guy who

44
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 5: could be the MVP of this World Series. I mean

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 5: twelve strikeouts, zero walks, the most strikeouts by a pitcher

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 5: in a World Series game with no walks. This guy's

47
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 5: setting records left and right, and he's had a cup

48
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 5: of coffee in the big leagues. And now the Toronto

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: Blue Jays, after stealing two of three games from the

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 5: Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, Saxi go back to Toronto with

51
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 5: all the momentum in the world and are twenty seven

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 5: outs away from eliminating the Dodgers.

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Jim, Well, remember when we talked about a

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: couple of times that a team has got to have

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: like one surprise that usually kind of fits into the

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: whole thing. That why we won the World Series. Well,

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: we did this all right, We did this right. Oh,

58
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: and we had one big surprise. The big surprise for

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Toronto obviously is trey Ya Savage. That's the big surprise

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: and it's working well. This guy was just phenomenal last night.

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: That Dodgers could not figure him out. A lot of teams,

62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: it seems, throughout his trek to the big leagues from

63
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: a ball all the way up could not figure him out.

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: So you know, what do we have here? Is this

65
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: another unicorn in the making or what? I don't know,

66
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: but Boie, he's phenomenal. He's got a great splitter, he's

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: got a great change up, in his slider, so he

68
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: uses these extremely well. His fastball plays well in the

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: you know, mid to upper nineties, and he knows how

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: to pitch at twenty two years old. So good thing

71
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: is you're not going to see him anymore. At least

72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, you got two games left. So it's time

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers to Is this situation dire right now? Yes, well, yes,

74
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: it's getting there.

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: Yes.

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Can the Dodgers go to Toronto and win two in

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: a row and win the World Series? Absolutely they can,

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: There's no question they can. The Blue Jays know this too,

79
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: but something's got to happen. You got to have a reset.

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: You can't strike out fifteen times to get four hits

81
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: and expect to win. Not going to happen. You've got

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: to have a new awakening on this offense if this

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: team is going to get going, because you just can't

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: have that many few balls in play and expect to win.

85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays don't strike out, man, they put the

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: ball in play, they hit it on the line. They're

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: not trying to hit every ball out of the ballpark.

88
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: It does come, though, when your home run hitters get

89
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: up there. I think that Vladimir Gurel certainly doesn't mind

90
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: putting the ball in the air, but for the most part,

91
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: those guys are trying to hit the ball on the line,

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: and you know, sometimes it goes out and the other

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: times it's not a strikeout.

94
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 5: The Dodgers had one run on four hits yesterday and

95
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 5: struck out fifteen times in the game. They drew one walk.

96
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 5: They had four runners left on base, and only one

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: time last night in Game five, did they have a

98
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 5: runner in scoring position, and they were over one with

99
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 5: a runner and scoring position. Dave Roberts shook up the lineup.

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: No Andy Paiez Alex call got the start in left field.

101
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: He even switched up the top of the lineup with

102
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: the Big four moving things around. He put Mookie Betts

103
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: in the three spot, moving up Will spot, Will Smith

104
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: to the second spot, and Mookie Betts last night zero

105
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 5: for four with two strikeouts. His struggle is real. Here

106
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 5: in the postseason. Mookie Bets three for twenty three with

107
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: no RBIs in this postseason. Here he is postgame last night, befuddled.

108
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 5: I don't want to speak to anybody else, but for

109
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 5: me personally, I've just been terrible.

110
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: I've been terrible and there's no Uh. I wish it

111
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: was from lack of effort, I really do, but it's not.

112
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: So Yeah, I don't have any answers.

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: They have no answers.

114
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: I mean, no, he's lost, He's he's lost.

115
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: How can they be lost in October? What has happened?

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: You know what? I've been there, I've been there. Where

117
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: Mookie is. I mean, he's he's a much he was

118
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: a much bigger, you know, player than me. He was

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: a guy that's more dependent on he is probably more

120
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: pressure on him. But as a leadoff hitter, you know,

121
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: you got a certain amount of things that you have

122
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: to do as well, different from from Mooky's job. But

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: Mooky is from listening to his his response and whatnot.

124
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: He is lost up at the plate right now, and

125
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: that thing can turn around as much as it turned

126
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: down on him, and he can't find it. He's it's

127
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 2: not from a lack of effort. Nobody hates this. Nobody

128
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: takes this on more than Mookie Betts. He's carrying all

129
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: of this. He knows that he's a pro about it.

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: He's not dodging anybody, and he said it like it is.

131
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: But you know what we've seen this happen before with Mookie,

132
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: and we've seen him get hotter than a firecracker, and

133
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: he can, but you got to do it pretty quick

134
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: because we got two games left. But just to set

135
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: the record straight, he's feeling it more than anybody in

136
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: the stands is, and he wishes that he could get

137
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: this thing, this ship in the right direction. And like

138
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: you said, it's not because of lack of efforts. He's trying.

139
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: He goes to bed with this thing, he wakes up

140
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: with it, it's at the breakfast table with him, It's

141
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: everywhere in his life and he's wearing it and he

142
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: wants to fix us believing.

143
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 5: How does he get out of it? Is it more

144
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,119
Speaker 5: mental than physical? Is a mechanical clout the play?

145
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: What I think it is, it's it's a little bit

146
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: of everything. And when I went through these these uh

147
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: fits and starts with you know, seeing the ball and

148
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: not being able to make good contact and whatnot, I

149
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: think you got to go right back to the basics,

150
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: eliminate all going down the rabbit hole of science and hitting.

151
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: And you got to go right back to the basics.

152
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: What's the basic thing. You got to see the thing

153
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: before you can hit it. So you got to see

154
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: it and just eliminate movement and just go from here

155
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: the launching position right to contact, from there to there.

156
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: Make it real simple. All that other stuff falls into place,

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: Your feet, your reaction time, you're you're you know, you're,

158
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: you're cocking and gliding before you see the ball. All

159
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: that stuff takes place. You just got to worry about

160
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: seeing the ball and be in a position to hit

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: it when it goes out of his hand, and just

162
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: hit it where it's pitched. I mean it sounds easy,

163
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: sounds real easy, right, But it's much simpler to eliminate

164
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: all the other stuff, all the noise in your head,

165
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: slow everything down, and almost make it like an advanced

166
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: Pepper game. I'm gonna see the ball and I'm gonna

167
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: put the bat on it, and that's it. Let it out,

168
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: take take where it's gonna go, see it and hit

169
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: it where it's pitched, and make it like an advanced

170
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: version of Pepper. You oh know what Pepper is? Right? Okay,

171
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: That's that's what I think helped me a lot. And

172
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: then pretty soon you start to get to a point where, man,

173
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: the ball looks big and you can't miss it. You

174
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: just you can go up there and stand on your

175
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: head and hit it. And so that's where he that's

176
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: where Mooky is.

177
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 5: If it was just Mookie and everybody else's hitting the

178
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 5: ball and they're scoring runs, the Dodgers would be fine,

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: and we wouldn't be talking about the struggles of Mookie Bets.

180
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: It would be Hey, he's playing great defense, he's a

181
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 5: team leader, and the Dodgers rallying around his offensive struggles.

182
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: But Steve, it's one through nine. This is It's not

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: just Mookie, right, not at all. It's not just Mookie,

184
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: you know, dropping from the second spot to the third spot,

185
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 5: and it's a quick fix. This is an offense hitting

186
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 5: two to oh two in the World Series, and they've

187
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 5: got solo home runs in seven of its eight home

188
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 5: runs this year. In this postseason, they've scored four runs

189
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 5: in the last twenty nine innings. Their top four hitters.

190
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: Last night, the Big Fours. We all often referred to

191
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: him to show, hey, Otani, Will Smith, Mookie Bets, Freddie

192
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 5: Freeman win a combined one for fifteen with eight strikeouts.

193
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 5: Now it's not gonna work. It's not even just a

194
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 5: World Series thing. You take away the wild Card round

195
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 5: in which they stomped the Reds. The Dodgers are hitting

196
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: just two twenty two with a three seventy two slugging

197
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 5: percentage of the postseason, way down from their regular season numbers,

198
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 5: and the Dodgers hitting two to oh one against the

199
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 5: Blue Jays in five games so far this World Series,

200
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: with runners in scoring position just two hundred. I mean,

201
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: this is a lackluster performance from top to bottom. And

202
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 5: we don't see this a lot nine guys not producing,

203
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: Everybody in the lineup striking out, nobody just carrying the flag,

204
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 5: so to speak. Offensively, How does a team completely fall

205
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 5: off the face of the earth offensively, I don't understand

206
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: how everybody happened.

207
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: I've seen it happen. I mean, I've seen the Giants

208
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: do it from being the best team in the MLB

209
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: in the first half to the worst team after the

210
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: All Star break. How do you have a collective collapse

211
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: like this? I've seen the Athletics do it, not when

212
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: I've been broadcasting with them last year, but I saw

213
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: them do it in the past where they you know,

214
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 2: we get all that information up here where it's it's local, right,

215
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 2: So we saw when they were the Oakland A's I've

216
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: seen them go from I'm doing incredible things to being

217
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: like the Giants did that one year to just a

218
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 2: collective letdown the whole team at the same time. That's

219
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: what we were asking, and yet that's what happens. It

220
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: has happened. It's it's kind of like an anomaly, but

221
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: it does happen. Look, I'm going through the lineups and

222
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: I'm looking outside of Alex call who really hasn't played

223
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: much at all, this team doesn't have anybody on the

224
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 2: squad right now. It's in the World Series that's got

225
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: a three hundred average, and you know it's not even

226
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: close to that. Now you go over to the Blue

227
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: Jays team, you got four fifteen, three thirteen, three ninety one,

228
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: three forty six, and a bunch of other guys that

229
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: are you know, two eighties and what it's it's it's. Look,

230
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: these two teams are built differently, Jim, we all know it.

231
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: The Dodger team has built a slug and the Blue Jays,

232
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: while they can hit home runs, not really built that way.

233
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: They're built like more of a Barger type that can

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: hit the ball apart that makes contact. A guy like

235
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: Ernie Clement who makes contact, you know, varshow who puts

236
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: the ball in play. He does not can hit forty

237
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: home runs. He's fifteen to twenty maybe. And then you

238
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: got guys that can launch the ball. You got Guerrero

239
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: and but shat, these guys can hit the ball out

240
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: of the ballpark. But in Springer can too, but he's

241
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: not even playing. This is a team that hits the

242
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: ball all over the field. They do not strike out.

243
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: They struck out six times yesterday. And they just make

244
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: contact and they put the pressure on the defense. They

245
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: hit situationally, and there's guys on you know, first and

246
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: first and second. They'll hit the ball to the right

247
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: side and they move those runners over. They hit the

248
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: ball inside the bag at third and first. They do

249
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: all those little things offensively to further it up and

250
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: put the move the next guy up. And if you

251
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: make a mistake, if you walk somebody, or you make

252
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: a defensive air or whatever, they are gonna make you pay.

253
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: And then they got a bopper that comes up every

254
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: once in a while. They can go deep. So they're

255
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: built completely different than the Dodgers.

256
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a team right now playing without

257
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 5: George Springer. One of they're two superstars on this team.

258
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 5: Boba Schett's playing on one leg for this Toronto offense

259
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: right barely run. I mean, and you talk about taking

260
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: advantage of mistakes and you know, kind of paper cutting

261
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 5: you to death. I mean, that's what they did last

262
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 5: night in a nutshell. Last night, he had two home

263
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 5: runs to start off against Blake Snell. You're you're up early,

264
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 5: two to nothing, and the night's.

265
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: Not a home run hitter, no, you know, he's not

266
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: a home run hitter, no boom.

267
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 5: And then you got traffic on the base pass. And

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 5: when you get traffic out there, the Dodgers all of

269
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 5: a sudden became you know, defensively inept, and you know,

270
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 5: we're seeing double play balls not turned, we're seeing ground

271
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 5: balls that they're you know, not playing. They have to

272
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 5: go to first because they double pumped and can't get

273
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 5: a double play. And then you got four while pitches

274
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 5: last night too from Blake Snell at Gardo Enriquez had one,

275
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 5: Anthony Bonda had one. I mean, it was an absolute

276
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: mess out there all around. I mean, we're gonna hear

277
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: from Dave Roberts coming up next seven, and we're gonna

278
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: hear a lot of reaction postgame, and the common theme

279
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 5: is where the heck is our offense? And man, what

280
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 5: we had out there tonight, we gotta be way better

281
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 5: than that. Collectively from Blake Snell, who I mean, what

282
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 5: the heck has happened? To Snell Zilla, to the defense

283
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 5: which is absolutely falling apart. It feels like this team

284
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: the wheels are falling off here in late October.

285
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, there's a lot of things that

286
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: come come together in this Blake Snell's not been the

287
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: same in his last two starts. He's had trouble with

288
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: his with his control, and but believe me, the Blue

289
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: Chays are built for a team that's going to grind

290
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: him and make him throw strikes. When they do make

291
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: him throw strikes, they're ready to hit. I mean, first

292
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: three pitches, you had two homers. When they get in

293
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: the box, it seems like to me, they're not taking pitches. No,

294
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: they're not gonna give you a you throw a cookie

295
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: down in the middle of the plate, they're gonna whack it. Okay,

296
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: they're not. They're not up there taking pitches.

297
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 5: Oh, Dodgers are really good at that, by the way.

298
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, that's the way they are that they The Dodgers'

299
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: philosophy is to work the count, and you know what,

300
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: there's some good things to be said about that at times,

301
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: to work the count where I'm down, get it in

302
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: the bullbit. I get the philosophy. But along with that,

303
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: you take pitches and you miss opportunities to drive the baseball.

304
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: And I think first time up, you can take a pitch.

305
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: Other than that, there is no leadoff hitter because he's gone.

306
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: It's it's after the first time up. I'm not taking anything,

307
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: especially somebody that's got good stuff like Ya Savage does.

308
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: And as you get deeper deeper into postseason, you have

309
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: better pitchers. I'm not giving these guys one strike, not ever.

310
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: And if you're not ready to hit, don't get in

311
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: the box, but get in there ready to be a Tiger.

312
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: If they throw you a strike, you whack. That's the

313
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: way I think.

314
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 5: Last night Trey Sevish absolutely dealed against the Dodgers, and

315
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 5: you do have to tip your cap to him because

316
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 5: he was really good. He struck out twelve last night.

317
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: The Dodgers hitter seemed to be off balance, couldn't figure

318
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: out the fastball or the split finger or the slider.

319
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: He had everything work and he throws over the top,

320
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: little deceptive. That's great, you tip your cap to the guy,

321
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: but I don't think he's as dominant as he looked

322
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 5: last night. Overall. I mean, this guy is on a

323
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: heater right now, individually and certainly being new and not

324
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 5: having a lot of stuff on him that has been

325
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 5: that spark as you alluded to, that X factor that

326
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 5: has caught fire here in October and been a difference maker.

327
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: But I just had just shake my head, Steve at

328
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: the fact that this group collectively is falling apart. I mean,

329
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 5: this is just uncharacteristic of a Dave Roberts managed team.

330
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying it, Tim, I'm just saying over

331
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: the course of the last ten years and this talent,

332
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: this leadership on the field, on the mound, at the plate,

333
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: I mean just everything has gone wrong at the right time,

334
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: and in essence, you can say the wrong time, because

335
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 5: this is when they needed you to playing their best

336
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: and you're not getting great performances from Blake Snell. You're

337
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: not getting anything from the bullpen yet again, and we

338
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: kind of figured that. But the offense collectively, I mean,

339
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 5: during the season, we've seen this, two or three guys slump, hurt,

340
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 5: and it's been all right. Freddie Freeman for a two

341
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 5: week bender, just carrying this offense. You know, everything going right,

342
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: and he hits. He's the guy. He gets the big hits.

343
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: It's one or two guys at the bottom of the

344
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 5: line all right, the big four aren't doing it. Next thing,

345
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 5: you know, the Dodgers win a game, why because the

346
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 5: seven eight nine hitters win four for twelve and drove

347
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: on all six runs. There's always somebody there to pick

348
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: up the flag and carry them forward. There's always one

349
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: or two guys that says, all right, we'll be the

350
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 5: guy tonight. But I don't understand how collectively, one through

351
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 5: nine all these guys aren't collectively produced. I mean, there's

352
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: not one guy in the lineup last night that didn't

353
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: strike out. Yeah, I mean, you gotta be kidding me.

354
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: That's the way it is. I mean, with the kind

355
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: of the way they're built. I mean, and the way

356
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: the philosophy is today with hitting is if you strike out,

357
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: oh well, you know, you might hit a home run

358
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: at the next five strikeouts. In the middle of that,

359
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: you might get one home and we'll take that. I've

360
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: never bought into that. You know what tim if I was,

361
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: if I was, you know, younger today, if I was

362
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: playing in today's game, if I could transpose myself back

363
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: to when I was in my early twenties and playing,

364
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if I could play today.

365
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would be a baseball player,

366
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 2: or if i'd even want to because the game is

367
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: so different now. It's still a great game, but but

368
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if a team would want me. I mean,

369
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, I wasn't a home run hitter, so that

370
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 2: puts a big damper on it. I didn't want to

371
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: hit home runs like the I like the cat and

372
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: mouse part of the game. And you know, I was

373
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: trying to get two hundred hits a year and hit

374
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: three hundred and still forty bases. And I don't know

375
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: if that's good today. You know, it's better to you know,

376
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: hit home runs and strike out two hundred times. And

377
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: I didn't want to do that. If that's what I

378
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: had to do as a player, I probably wouldn't want

379
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: to play.

380
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 5: Well, maybe the pendulum is swinging back now that the

381
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 5: Toronto Blue Jays one went away from winning a World Series,

382
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 5: and you would fit perfectly on this Toronto Blue Jays team.

383
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: Well maybe some teams I could, but some teams not.

384
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: But you know what's the good about it. You don't

385
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: have to face your savage anymore. For the most part.

386
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: He's he's done and looking forward for the next two games.

387
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 2: I really like the starting pitchers of the Dodgers versus

388
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: you know what the Blue Jays are offering. It's it's

389
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: Yama Moto against Gosman. I'll take Yama Moto any day

390
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: of the week. And then it's gonna be Glass Now

391
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: against It's gonna be Glassnew plus everybody else against sures

392
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: Er plus everybody else. I like the Dodgers much better

393
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: than I like the Blue Days Blue Jays. In the

394
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: next two games, the pitching lineup for the really favors

395
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: the Dodgers because you're gonna get everybody that's available to pitch,

396
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 2: and that's probably everybody, even might maybe Yama Moto to

397
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: get one guy out. This is it. There's nothing more

398
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: so if they If the Dodgers win tomorrow, which I

399
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: will take Yama Moto over over Gosman any day of

400
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 2: the week. Then it's Game seven, and I would fully

401
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: expect the Dodgers to win Game seven and win the

402
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: World Series. When you're looking at the starting pitcher, which

403
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: is the most important part, that's where all that's where

404
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: the straw stirs that drink. Yep, right there at the

405
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: starting pitching, the Dodgers have a huge advantage I believe

406
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: over the Blue Jays.

407
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 5: I'm with you one thousand percent. They have better starting pitching.

408
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 2: So the Dodger fans, I know it looks dire, but

409
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: let's look at the whole picture here. The starting pitching

410
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 2: from here on two more games, huge advantage for the Dodgers,

411
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: and that's the major part of the games.

412
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 5: I'm with you one thousand percent. I agree. The pitching

413
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 5: is better. The offense is better, and we've been saying

414
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: that now for five games and we're just not seeing

415
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 5: it click yet.

416
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: And I saw you saw Yamamoto shove big time, Yeah,

417
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: big time.

418
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: I don't know what's gonna take to wake up this offense, though,

419
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 5: I mean, what's gonna flip the switch? Is it a play?

420
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 5: Is it a player? Is it a hit? Is it

421
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 5: a home run? Early? I mean, I don't know. You

422
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 5: tell me what what is it the sparks and offensive

423
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 5: is it lock? I mean, I don't understand what what

424
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: triggers and untriggers this offense and collectively.

425
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: Part part of the whole thing is you got to

426
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: tip your cap to their side. I know we hate

427
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: to do that, but but this tray is savage. Is

428
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: is like a huge, huge, major surprise for the team.

429
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 2: Nobody saw this coming. Uh and the guy is just incredible.

430
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know really how good he is.

431
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: Let's find out how he does once he goes around

432
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: the league. One time he only had three starts during

433
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: the regular season. Yeah, okay, so we but we know

434
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: how how fast his ascent was. It was meteoric. How

435
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: he went through the minor leagues and just e viscerated people.

436
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens now once he gets around

437
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: the league next year. But that's that's another day for

438
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: right now. You know he's done. So you get three

439
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 2: games to two, and you you kind of size up

440
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: the matching of the pitchers. It's it's no question who

441
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 2: has the advantage, and we'll just see what happens. I

442
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 2: think that the pitching lineups is gonna help the offense

443
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers much much more because you're not gonna

444
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: have to face that guy. You're gonna have to face more, more,

445
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: more guys that are mortal. I guess you'd say, and

446
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: facing guys like this and have him OOKI get up

447
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: and ring one down in the corner, and then the

448
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: Dodgers get a rally early that can spark a team

449
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: big time, can spark a team. Hey, we're back, this

450
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: is us and it's just at the right time. So

451
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 2: hold on your seats now. I can guarantee you one thing.

452
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: This thing is so far from over. It's so far

453
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: from over. Dodgers are going to be the underdogs. It's

454
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: a good place to be. Although you'd rather be up

455
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: three to two, I get it, But they this game

456
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 2: is so far from over that you know if they win,

457
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: Dodgers win this game, and I expect them to. With

458
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: Yamamoto on the mount, I expect them to dominate Toronto

459
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: in Game seven. The pitching is just so much better

Speaker 5: an era for Clayton Kershaw as he bids farewell to

475
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 5: Dodger Stadium. We'll get into that. Also, an interesting managerial

476
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 5: candidate down south in San Diego and he met for

477
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,760

Speaker 5: for game six. We'll talk about it next with you

485
00:23:53,240 --> 00:24:03,639

Speaker 5: for being with us.

488
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: Tim, you need a donut, Ah, don't you need to

489
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: relax more than a donut?

490
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 5: Saxon, Relax, I sleep.

491
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 2: This thing is so far from being over. It is

492
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: a long ways from being over.

493
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: I wish I felt the optimism.

494
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: I know you don't feel it. Look, look, look the

495
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: most important what's the most important part, especially down the stretch.

496
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: You Savage put it on display yesterday. It's pitching. Pitching

497
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: is where it's at.

498
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 5: Man, we had Blakesnell going though, and he gave up

499
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 5: two home runs in three pitches.

500
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. That's my point. Okay, that's over

501
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: with now. Looking forward is the only thing that mounts.

502
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 2: You can't go back and change five games. Okay, it's

503
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: three to two. You're going to their park. If I

504
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: had to say, okay, who do you take in game six,

505
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: let's just parse them out individually. Who do you take?

506
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 2: And do you want? Gosman or do you want Yamama.

507
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: I want Yamamoto.

508
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: I do too. I think it's it's not a done deal.

509
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: It's not doesn't mean it's going to happen. But I

510
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: will take Yamamoto and that this guy can shove. We

511
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 2: know that, and we've seen him do it against Osma.

512
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: We've seen it already. Okay, So if that happens, then

513
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: you go to Game seven. You got Glass now plus

514
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: everybody else against Scherzer, who didn't last long, plus everybody else.

515
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: And I'll take the Dodger matchup way more than I

516
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: would take the Toronto Blue Jay matchup.

517
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: So that thing should.

518
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 2: Give some solace to the listenership here. Doesn't mean it's

519
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: going to happen, no, but but that's a better position

520
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 2: to be in. Not that you have to win two

521
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 2: and the other team has to win one, but the

522
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: pitching matchups in and of themselves is a major, major

523
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: advantage for the l A club.

524
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 5: That's what gives me a little bit of hope. As

525
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 5: you detailed, they've got better pitching. I mean things can

526
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 5: change quickly, yeah, and that boom you can change it.

527
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: I just hope it changes because when it does, you're right,

528
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a snowball effect the other way.

529
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: Thirteen to two blowout in one game. One of those

530
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: things happening. Man Guerrero doesn't come to the plate and

531
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: hit as well. They're expected to do something. He got

532
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: more pressure on him. It doesn't do well. That Dodgers

533
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: jump out to another early lead and pretty soon they

534
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: won both games. It could happen. It could absolutely happen.

535
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: It just needs to happen. I don't know when it's

536
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 5: gonna happen, but it needs to happen, and it needs

537
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 5: to happen fast. By the way, you're good, buddy Dallas

538
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: Braden who you work with on the a's broadcast of Dallas.

539
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 5: I follow him on Twitter and I actually said him

540
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 5: a DM trying to come on because he broke this

541
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 5: down really good.

542
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's very smart, that dude. He just broke down

543
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: or tray you.

544
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 5: Savage's pitching Audians the last couple ones and the games

545
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 5: that he are teams he has faced multiple times, and

546
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 5: that would include Seattle and LA and he said against

547
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 5: the Dodgers he leaned on spin more than his fastball,

548
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: including the slider, which leaned on heavily yesterday and he

549
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 5: wrote fun fact of the seventeen strikeouts in the two

550
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 5: games against the Dodgers in the series, of the seventeen

551
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 5: strikeouts for Treya Savage, not one has come via the fastball. Wow,

552
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 5: it's been slighter and split finger. What can we read

553
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 5: anything into that? Like the Dodgers are guessing they can't

554
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 5: hit his spin. The spin is just too good, Like

555
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 5: I don't. I mean, I don't think it's exclusive to

556
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: the Dodgers. I think it probably happens to a lot

557
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 5: of teams this way.

558
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if anybody can break it down and we

559
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: can get Dallas on, you know, I work with him

560
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: with the athletics crew during the season list last year,

561
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 2: and he is amazing. I love Dallas. He can break

562
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: it down as good as anybody. He's very, very intelligent,

563
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 2: and he can break this stuff down like a you know,

564
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 2: like he's a computer or something. This guy's really good

565
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 2: at it, He.

566
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 5: Says the Worth, noting doubled and tripling of usage of

567
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 5: the split finger against the Mariners and Dodgers in the

568
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 5: second time against them. Also, Savage with the slider against

569
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 5: La leaned on that and spin more than the fastball,

570
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 5: and that's when he dropped the nugget about the seventeen

571
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 5: strikeouts coming via aw speed pitches with spin rather than fastballs. Hmm. Interesting, Well,

572
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: we have a full board of calls because, like you

573
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 5: and like me, Dodger fans are scratching their heads trying

574
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 5: to figure out what in the heck has happened these

575
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 5: first five games. So let's waste no more time. We'll

576
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: hear from the manager, Dave Roberts. Coming up, We're gonna

577
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 5: get all the reaction from the Dodgers from last night.

578
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: You're gonna hear from Blake Snell coming up at seven o'clock.

579
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 5: Also coming up, we're gonna get into the L word

580
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 5: because Blake Snell uses the L word about four times.

581
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 5: I think I counted four of them, and we'll count

582
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 5: them together coming up at seven o'clock. The L word

583
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 5: is luck. And you used the L word yesterday.

584
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: Remember that you used.

585
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 5: It yesterday and I was like, look come on, man,

586
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 5: and then last night postgame, and you're gonna hear it.

587
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 5: Come up at seven o'clock. Blake Snell used the L

588
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 5: word multiple times and what happened last night? To him?

589
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: What has happened to this Dodgers team through five games?

590
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 5: But let's go out to the phones. Rick and Sampedro

591
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 5: start things off here on this Thursday morning, as the

592
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 5: Dodgers have their backs up against the wall. Are you

593
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 5: doing Rick, Good morning.

594
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 6: I love your guys show up with sure on all

595
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: the time meet season. I watched every Dodger game. I've

596
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: been to twenty five games. I went to the last

597
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 6: three games, and I keep my own little statistic. I

598
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 6: don't think Major League keeps this stat but uh it's

599
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 6: not I didn't keep every game, but you kind of

600
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 6: look at I'm gonna use Otani t O Pa has

601
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 6: swing and miss strike three. Forty three percent of those

602
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 6: pitches are out of the zone. They're not even near strikes.

603
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 6: And uh that's and now the whole team has it right.

604
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 6: So and I agree with Steven it can change at

605
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 6: any time. But I mean, just so many undisciplined swings

606
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 6: and approaches and they got to change that or it's over.

607
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Rick, that we're talking. Yeah, thank you Rick, Hey, Rick,

608
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: thanks for calling me. Steven. You know you're one of

609
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: the first guys, first people ever call me by my

610
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 2: right name. Thank you very much.

611
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 6: And I saw you play your first game.

612
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 5: That you were at you were at Steven's first game.

613
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 6: I remember him. I mean he was like, man, this guy,

614
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 6: this guy's a player.

615
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: Wow, thank you, hey great, I mean, thank you, thank you. Rick.

616
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: I think we actually we should have a push like, uh,

617
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: you know, especially after the Dodgers win the World Series,

618
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: we need to push going out on social media. Uh,

619
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: Kates needs his own show. I think that we need

620
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: to start pushing. Yeah, because he's phenomenal, is one of

621
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: the best hosts I've ever worked.

622
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, guys.

623
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: I'm not just blowing thank you, Steve whatever you want.

624
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 5: I mean, we're nine years in the scam now and

625
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 5: you're just now commented about Steven versus Steve.

626
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: Well that's what.

627
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: Would you like me to call you? I mean, now,

628
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 5: nine years later, Steve or Steven? Which what is it.

629
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: Listen, my friends and family and everyone's ever called me

630
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: Steve really, but it's the only people in baseball and

631
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: sports that call me Steve. My friends and my family

632
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: don't would never say Steve. They say Steven. That's my name.

633
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: So Tim, you call me Steve.

634
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 5: Okay, I gotta call you something besides Saxy, because no,

635
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 5: that's a good name I have not that is a

636
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: good name that have been pulled by multiple people in

637
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 5: my family. I've been pulled aside by them, including daughters

638
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 5: who have said, Dad, you gotta stop. It sounds really

639
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 5: weird when you call him Saxy on the air. And

640
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 5: I've been told by people here it's not like radio station.

641
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: Hey, but it's not like we're you know, you know,

642
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: Blake Snell and and and the David Vasse.

643
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 5: That's true, that's true. I mean, it's a it's a nickname, right,

644
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: It's like the old hockey you add a y on it,

645
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 5: everybody's on it.

646
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay. I'm good with that. You call me

647
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: whatever you want, Tim.

648
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 5: I appreciate that, Saxy, Mark and Sam Piedro. Also welcome

649
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: to Saxon Kates with Steven Saxon, Tim Kates. How you doing.

650
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: Timing, Saxy?

651
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, Mark, just.

652
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: A couple, just a couple of things. Obviously, Potz has

653
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: been a one trick pony. They signed him out yesterday.

654
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: I love Muki, but any possibility maybe Mickey row might

655
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: take shortstop with Muki. Uh, maybe sitting bench coming in

656
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: as a pinch hitter. Also, do you think last night,

657
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: given that they won the marathon game and trying to

658
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: take advantage on three to two series, maybe switching up

659
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: Yamamoto last night and sell game six.

660
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 5: Well, I don't think so, because you're talking about rest

661
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 5: for Yamamoto, and that's something that's more important, I think,

662
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 5: uh than anything, is keeping that consistency. Now, certainly when

663
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 5: you get to October, you've got to be able to

664
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: adjust and deviate a little bit. But if you can

665
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 5: get Yamamoto on his proper rest, I'd take that, figuring

666
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 5: that you know when he's on, he's on. Why mess

667
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 5: with something that's been actually your good point and you're

668
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 5: starting pitching this year, in this October run, I should say,

669
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 5: don't mess with that. And he has been fantastic. Here

670
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 5: here's a tweet for you, Saxy and a little a

671
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 5: little pushback says, this is from John says, I love

672
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 5: the optimism from Steve Sacks, but come on, Tim, the

673
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 5: absolute truth is, it doesn't matter who the Blue Jays pitch.

674
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 5: If the Dodgers can't hit, their averages for the World

675
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 5: Series are crap. Where's the situational hitting? Where is it

676
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 5: going the other way with a guy on third It's

677
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 5: just pop up after pop up after groundouts.

678
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not. I think he's right. I would echo

679
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: those sentiments. But yeah, and overall, in a you know,

680
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: thirty thousand foot view looking down at this whole thing,

681
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: the teams are built completely different. There are two different teams.

682
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: They're structured differently, and you know, so we'll see you

683
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: who comes out to win. But I'll tell you what,

684
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 2: this thing is way far from being over, way far

685
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 2: by the way.

686
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 5: Drake, who everybody we can all agree dislike. Drake the

687
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 5: Rapper has trolled Show hal Otani and the Dodgers with

688
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 5: a gloating post after the Blue Jays one. Now, Drake

689
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 5: is from Canada, and not a lot of people are

690
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 5: fans of Drake in the United States because he likes

691
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 5: to push back and there's some beef always with different folks,

692
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 5: and there's the whole Kendrick Lamar Drake thing. I'm just

693
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 5: kind of getting you up to I'm mister hip hop,

694
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 5: you know, so I'm just kind of getting you up

695
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 5: to speed there, Steve. Steve Drake posted on Instagram a

696
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 5: shot of show Heo Tawny swinging and missing and his

697
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 5: helmet falling off as Trey Savage walks off the mountain

698
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 5: after striking out show hal Tani last night, and he wrote,

699
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: savage already, otw to the dugout boss, laugh out loud. Now, Drake,

700
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 5: let me say something, my friend. Then be fighting words. Okay,

701
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 5: you go after the Unicorn, you go after LA, you

702
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 5: go after Dodgers. This is this is, Then be fighting words.

703
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 5: If I'm Dave Roberts, this is my rallying cry right here,

704
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 5: Drake going to social media and gutting after the Dodgers

705
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 5: and show Hey, o TONI I print this out. I

706
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 5: put it on every seat in the plane. I put

707
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 5: it in every hotel room, and I put it in

708
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 5: front of every locker. And this is the rallying cry.

709
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 5: Do it for America, do it for the Dodgers, and

710
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 5: do it for LA and just to get after Drake.

711
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, you know the thing about it is it Drake

712
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 2: might be somebody that we think, after all this is over,

713
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: because you want to go out and poke that bear.

714
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 2: You want to poke a kind of like a sleeping

715
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: LA team. You want to poke them. I wouldn't want to.

716
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 2: I would let them just sit there and kind of

717
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: go to sleep until it's over, and then then if

718
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: they want to wake up, that's fine, But what Drake's

719
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 2: doing is he's poking a real scary bear. Okay, ask

720
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: ask these other teams what this team was like when

721
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 2: they got healthy, when the pitching staff was full, optimism

722
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 2: shot through the roof, and the team won the division?

723
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: What four thirteen out of fourteen years? Yep, you want

724
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: to poke that bear? Go ahead?

725
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they are the defending champions. I don't

726
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 5: I don't think you wanted to wake up this Dodgers team.

727
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 5: And if it's taking Drake to do it. They talk

728
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 5: about the Drake curse. Every team he represents or puts

729
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 5: a jersey on or tries to front run with, they

730
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 5: always lose.

731
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: Call it the Drake remake.

732
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I am more fired up than I have

733
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,560

Speaker 5: can we all agree now that Drake needs to go down.

760
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: We need to do this to inspite a Drake.

761
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 8: Yes, we do. You know, from the game on Monday

762
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 8: night eating to Tuesday, I thought they would have good momentum.

763
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 8: They would win Tuesday's game, any game, but that didn't happen,

764
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 8: so we need to move forward. I feel good about

765
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 8: Yamamoto's pitching on this Friday, but these bats need to

766
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,200

767
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 8: need to wake up and get this win.

768
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 5: How do they wake up, Stephanie, How do they wake

769
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 5: up these bats? How do they do this? What's the trick?

770
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 6: What's they get in that batting?

771
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 8: Change or open their eyes? Great? I don't know. They

772
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 8: need to focus and concentrate.

773
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: There you go, There you go. Stefinitely appreciate it. I

774
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 5: think it's a little bit more complex than that. But

775
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 5: uh yeah, they gotta do something, Steve. They gotta figure

776
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 5: this out. They got to figure it out fast because

777
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 5: they got a game tomorrow night at Rogers Center. They

778
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 5: flew overnight. They're gonna have a workout later on today.

779
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 5: Hopefully a day off is a good thing for this

780
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 5: Dodgers team. And a lot of people push him back

781
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 5: on Game three and that eighteen inning win over the

782
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 5: blue Jay. Something we'll get into as well, that that

783
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 5: may have backfired against the Dodgers because of their age

784
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 5: and how many guys over the age of thirty they

785
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 5: have that Nope, they couldn't rebound. So we'll get into that.

786
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 5: I'll get to more phone calls coming up. We'll hear

787
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 5: from the manager Dave Roberts. Lots to get to and

788
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 5: we want you to be a part of an eighty

789
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 5: six six ninety two, five to seventy. The Dodgers are

790
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 5: down but not out, down three to two in this

791
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 5: best of seven series Game six tomorrow. This is scam

792
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 5: on NFI seventy Light Sports, Sax and Kates on this

793
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 5: Thursday morning, October thirtieth. Thanks for being with us here

794
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 5: on a five to seventy LA sports as we get

795
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 5: ready for the Dodgers Game six tomorrow night in Toronto.

796
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: Down three games to two, Dodgers now one loss away

797
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 5: from losing the World Series. After losing to the Blue

798
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 5: Jays last night six to one. Trey U seven with

799
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 5: twelve strikeouts. He really shut down the Dodgers, who offensively

800
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 5: are really struggling against this uh Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff,

801
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 5: and offensively the Dodgers just three hits from Mookie Betts

802
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 5: in twenty three at bats with no RBIs. It has

803
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 5: been a tough go for this Dodgers offense in this

804
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 5: World Series. Despite winning two games of the first five.

805
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 5: The Dodgers down three games to two Saxy, and it

806
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: gets even worse now with Drake really going and taunting

807
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 5: the Dodgers. It's, you know, it's something you really hate

808
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 5: to see and I think we can all use it

809
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 5: as a rallying cry.

810
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe thinking maybe thinking Drake, you know, he wants people,

811
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: Maybe he wants people to see an upsurge and people

812
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: going to buy his records or whatever, because that's probably

813
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 2: not going real good. But I think to to sit

814
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: there and poke the bear and say that that this

815
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 2: team has not got a chance to win it and

816
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: making fun how do you make fun of show Hey

817
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 2: O Toanic, I just don't get that one. That's that's

818
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: not that's not a good rallying cry right there. That's

819
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 2: gonna rally cry the Dodger and all those people that

820
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: are pulling for LA to win this thing, not the

821
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: other way around.

822
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: Yeah. He posted two pictures, one of show Hey O

823
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 5: tanis striking out and then the other pictures of show

824
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 5: Hey in a promotional photo, and he wrote one more

825
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 5: in reference in the Blue Jays one win away from this.

826
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 2: Guy just shows up like well relevant.

827
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 5: He's he's a pretty big, you know, musician, rapper, but

828
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 5: he's a front runner. And he's also a guy that

829
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 5: teams don't want them backing them because he's a loser

830
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 5: as far as you know, teams that he supports. He's

831
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 5: a curse. They call it the Drake curse, and so

832
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 5: hopefully the curse continues with this. Drake's you know, supporting

833
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 5: his hometown Toronto Blue Jays, because I think he tried to.

834
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 5: He supported the Maple Leafs either last year or year before,

835
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 5: and they didn't turn out well, did not turn out well.

836
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 5: And he does that in the NBA too. He also

837
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 5: is a front runner for a different team. So okay,

838
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 5: let's let's hope this backfires on him. This is a

839
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 5: good thing for the Dodgers. But coming up to the

840
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 5: top of the hour, we'll get in more to the

841
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 5: L word. Luck that Blake snell through a round last

842
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 5: night postgame after the Dodgers lost to the Toronto Blue Jays.

843
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 5: Marcus and Pomona, Welcome to Saxon, Kate and am here

844
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 5: on this Wednesday, Thursday morning. Hey do Marcus pretty good?

845
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: How are you guys doing doing good? Hey, Marcus, I just.

846
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 4: Got a couple of things to say. I kind of

847
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 4: felt like we were in trouble before this series started,

848
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 4: just because every time I go on the radio on

849
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 4: five seventy Daves, I say always tried to downplay our

850
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: team that we're playing against, and was trying to talk

851
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 4: about how the Blue Jays it's gonna be a quick

852
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 4: series or they weren't that good, and how he always

853
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 4: tried to hype up Blake's now to be the greatest

854
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 4: picture ever, and every time he does that, he throws

855
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 4: duds and then we end up losing the series. He

856
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 4: did the same thing in twenty twenty three with the Diamondbacks.

857
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 4: That's going to be a quick sweep, and Dodgers got

858
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 4: swept themselves.

859
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 5: Well, I don't blame Dave for anything. Dave's right in

860
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 5: that Blake Snell is really good and backing Blake Snell

861
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 5: is always a good thing when he's one of the

862
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 5: best pitchers in baseball. Unfortunately, he has just not had

863
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 5: good fortune the last two starts here in the World Series.

864
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 5: Now we'll get into that, is being lucky or unlucky,

865
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 5: I don't know. We'll dive that into that after the

866
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 5: top of the hour. But there's no there's no pointing

867
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 5: the finger at David Masse. Come on, no, get out

868
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 5: of here, not at all. One in Downy, thanks for

869
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 5: being patient. You're next up with Saxon Kate today and

870
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 5: how you.

871
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: Doing one good morning, my Ronos.

872
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 7: Hope you guys are having a good one. To the

873
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 7: guy that just called from blame David that guy, that

874
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 7: guys are good, that Dave is good. But quick questions

875
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 7: and make quick quick questions, see what.

876
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 3: You gotta say.

877
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 7: I really feel that we have another positive side by

878
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 7: going back to Toronto.

879
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: You know what that is their fans.

880
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 7: Their fans are gonna pump our players because our fans

881
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 7: can do it. Our fans have been They've been shut

882
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 7: down for I don't know what's wrong. They're too busy

883
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 7: doing TikTok's or Instagram videos, whatever they're doing. But let

884
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 7: our fans feed off Toronto fans because.

885
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 3: Those fans they don't shut up.

886
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 7: And I hope our players when they go out that

887
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 7: they hear all this pumping and all this stuff that

888
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 7: they're gonna be saying to them, and hopefully that pumps

889
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 7: that up. Because our cloud it's hard to blame. I

890
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 7: cannot blame our cropper taking the party. I think I

891
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 7: really think they took our players out of the game

892
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 7: because there was that double play that Blake Snell hit last.

893
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: Nice and the crowd was quiet.

894
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 7: It's like, what the hell do our picture just got

895
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 7: a line drive back at him, turned around through the

896
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 7: second and nobody.

897
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:19,879

898
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,080

00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 7: that these fans into Toronto fans, that you guys are

900
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,480

Speaker 7: because guess what, you guys, we need him.

903
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: Let him pump up.

904
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 7: I hope somebody translate to Otani what the fans are

Speaker 7: opposing team fans to come to our dodge games because

911

00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 7: and I can hear fans down the street. I can

914
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 7: my people blowing the fireworks down my street when we

915
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 7: hit something, when we do something.

916
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 3: But not at Dodger Stadium.

917
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,359

Speaker 3: Hopefully.

Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate though one it's it's been talked about

921
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 5: a little bit, and I don't know how much the

922
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 5: fans being loud or not loud plays into it. Steve,

923
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 5: I mean, certainly we I don't ever blame the fans,

924
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 5: you know, and and and that's not what it's about.

925
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 5: But they only time I think of fans get into

926
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 5: it as far as helping things is they can take

927
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 5: it to another level, right, I mean, the players have

928
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 5: to do what they do on the field, but the

929
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 5: fans that can elevate it to another level, they can't.

930
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 5: They can't start guys rallying or get momentum. The players

931
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 5: start the momentum, and you can just help build it

932
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 5: like a.

933
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 2: Wave, like a support support. Yes, exactly, And I will

934
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: agree with one on one thing. Certainly, not about the

935
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 2: fans that Dodger say. I think they're the best fans. Uh.

936
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: But you know, when you go to an opposing park

937
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 2: and the opposing fans think that that you're getting by

938
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 2: getting on the opposing players to that it's helping your team,

939
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: it actually helps the opposing team. When you have all

940
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: that attention going on guys like Otani and Tascar, Hernandez

941
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: and whatnot. That helps the Dodgers because they feed off

942
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: of that. They know. Remember, nobody boozs to nobody, and

943
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: they know that if you're getting booed or if they're

944
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 2: on you, that they're fearing you, that they have respect

945
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: for you because you know that they know that you

946
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: can hurt their team. So that's why they do it,

947
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 2: and players thrive on that.

948
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 5: I got some great news for everybody, and this is

949
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 5: sort of a surprise this morning, and it's a pleasant

950
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 5: surprise and hopefully it's the start of a good day

951
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 5: and some positive things now moving forward for the Dodgers.
