It has been 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:39.400 an absolute great day of celebration for your Dodgers. From 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.800 the parade, all the way up and down Grand Figueroa, 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.040 seventh Street temple where it all started, a temple on Broadway, 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.760 and then coming back here to Dodger Stadium, the double 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:53.159 decker buses unloading with Dodger players, coaches, their families. They 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.640 were all introduced onto the center field stage. And what 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.960 a celebration here in front of a sold out Dodger 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.319 Stadium crowd. And looking around right now, the field level 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.560 still pretty much filled with Dodger fans who have made 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.440 their way down there, as Dodger players are still mingling 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.880 around on the field. Clayton Kershaw right now is talking 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:17.160 to the MLB Network down their third base line in 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.520 front of their dugout and different players are coming out 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.479 talking to beat riders. There's still a couple of other 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.360 players mingling around with their families. But Dodger fans, players 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.200 just don't want this to end. And what a magical 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.759 ride it was to get all the way to Game seven, 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.160 to win it in eleven innings, and to come back 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.600 home as defending World Series champions yet again, just a 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.480 magical run here in the month of October now November. 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.480 Crazy to think. Steve Sacks reminded. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.440 Me of this earlier today scam which kicked off October 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.520 baseball coverage here on a five seventy with me and 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:55.440 Steve Sacks, started on September thirtieth, went through all of 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.080 October and now here the championship parade. 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.600 On Monday Nova. So it is a long run. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.000 It can just imagine these Dodger players starting the season 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.200 as early as they did. 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:08.600 I went back and looked it up. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.480 The Dodgers went to Tokyo and that first game of the 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:17.960 season was back on March eighteenth. March eighteenth, You gotta 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.960 go all the way back to Tuesday, March eighteenth, the 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.679 Dodgers in Tokyo, Japan, playing the first of two games. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:24.720 Against the Chicago Cubs. 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.240 I don't know about you that that feels like a 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.040 lifetime ago. When they squared off against the Cubs in 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.240 Tokyo and we saw Roki Sasaki and Yabamoda on the mound. 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:34.720 I mean, now you. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.880 Fast forward to hear November three, and these guys are 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.160 World Series champions. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:39.600 It is. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.240 It has been a long ride, and. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:43.560 Freddie Freeman said it there just a little while ago 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.400 with David Dad. They're about one hundred days away from 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.440 pitchers and catchers reporting and the start of spring training, 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.600 which is amazing to me because the Dodgers just won 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.519 and there's teams around baseball, all but two of them 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.960 that have been sitting around for three to four weeks, 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.000 just waiting for this season to be over. And now 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.360 the Dodgers have a chance to rest in an exhale 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.400 and there'll be a chance to look at this roster 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.840 coming up in the next week's here. Free agency starts 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:10.880 in a few days officially, and the Dodgers will have 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.720 some players that go into free agency and they hope 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.359 to bring back, and some players they probably won't. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.399 Bring back next year. In twenty twenty six. 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.639 And maybe they'll bring in different players, but that'll certainly 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.480 be a big discussion here on an five seventy all 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.600 offseason long, it'll be an abbreviated offseason, certainly as the 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.400 shortened offseason with the Dodgers making it this deep into 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.839 the World Series eight six six nine eight seven two 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.680 five seventy. We did it last year after this parade 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.240 covers in the celebration at Dodgers Stadium, David Vass and 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.760 I just took calls and wanted to hear from you 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.000 Dodger fans and just your your thoughts about the team 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.520 and the celebration. And we're doing it again today all 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:49.640 the way up until three o'clock. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.080 And we had hand things over to Petro. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.920 Some money eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.600 seventy as we celebrate this Dodgers championship. And it's now 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:03.000 starting to file out the crowd, slowly but surely here 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.960 at Dodger Stadium, as the ushers are asking everybody to 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.480 leave down along the field level onlong the first and 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.920 third base lines. But uh, let's go out to the 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.240 phones if we can. Who do you want to go 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.720 do first? Guys, who's the first up, Juliet, Julian R. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:17.760 Kady is our first call. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.560 Go ahead, Hi, Julia sended On and Jdi loger F 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.920 and Sherman Oaks And we have a question. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.320 Do you think k k will come back next season? 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.479 Oh, it's a great question from the both of you. 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.120 Thank you very much. Key k Hernandez in free agency, 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.960 will he come back? We'll find out. He certainly wants 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.919 to be back. He uh, he is a Dodger. I'd 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.760 find it hard to believe they don't find some way 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:49.280 to bring Key k Hernandez back. Now, the last time 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.200 he entered free agency, he left and went to the 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.159 Boston Red Sox and the Dodgers reacquired him after it 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.160 didn't work out in Boston. Now, if he's willing to 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.640 take for whatever money they have available, and certainly for 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:03.640 as many years as they're willing to offer, that's all 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:04.479 going to be figured out. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.280 And that's all something Andrew Freeman. 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.920 And Brandon Gomes and you know, Keiky Hernandez are gonna 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.640 have to figure out as far as negotiations. But certainly 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.000 you want to have a glue guy like that back. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.200 And I say especially because you're losing Clayton Kershaw, who 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.080 is one of the heartbeats of this Dodger's team, and 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.400 if you lose him, you need to start making sure 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:30.840 you keep guys who are our culture clubhouse. You know, 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.320 guys that you can count on type of players. Then 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.080 you want to make sure that Keiky Hernandez is around 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.120 as long as possible, and that means bringing him back. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.120 And hear the round of applause here at Dodger Stadium, 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.320 that is for Clayton Kershaw, who is saluting the fans 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.560 one final time. He just got done talking to the 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.000 beat writers and now he got done talking to MLB Network, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.720 And it looks like Clayton Kershaw is making his way 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.400 back out onto the field and now back into the 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.200 dugout one final time year at Dodger Stadium. Oh, he's 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.200 actually making his way over to Sports in LA to 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.160 join the oral Hirscheiser and John hartsung a crew over there. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.320 Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.840 our number.

Wells said, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.600 you come from Buffalo, where you know about heartbreak, you 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.559 know about coming so close to winning a championship, and 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:17.640 being from Buffalo. 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.760 Toronto is close to Buffalo. 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.720 So I can only imagine what they're feeling there as 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.880 well as they were two outs away from a World 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.040 Series championship. And as I mentioned earlier, seeing Max Schurz 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.120 are on the replay in the dugout holding up to 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.360 two more guys, two more and we're gonna win a 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:32.679 World Series championship. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:34.040 But that did not happen. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.040 Eight sixty six, ninet eighty seven, two, five seventy.

I want to say, 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.040 is the greatest game I've ever watch. I've been watching 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.719 the Dodger since they played in the in the coliseum. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.840 I seen him. My father tripped me and uh, I 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.360 wanted to say that that was the greatest game I've seen. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.200 He got all the all the pictures in the pitch 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:19.280 and and Dave and mister Robertson pushed all the right buttons. 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.400 Yes the other day, it was two days ago, and 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.800 that was like and he don't get no set, no 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:25.800 gratification from anybody. 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.520 Now everybody's talking about Dave Roberts. Now you got to 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.000 get that respect. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.640 I'll tell you what I know about him. You know 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.480 what I know about him is my son and him 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.000 played room together in the minor leagues. My son and 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.040 Dave Roberts say, pray for Vice Tellia Oats and they 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:43.640 room together. 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.960 Very cool, Charles, Yeah, very cool. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.400 My son says. That's all they ever do is talk baseball. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.680 And one last thing, let's get my boy Bellinger back 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:53.640 this year. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:54.640 I like that. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.760 I'm all in with Cody Bellinger. If I had a 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:01.440 pick between Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, bring back Belly, Charles. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:02.680 We appreciate the phone call. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.480 I mean it's enough right Dave Roberts talk about he 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.000 hasn't done this, haven't done that. Three World Series rings 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.120 as a manager ten seasons now nine in l West, titles, 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.400 five trips to the World Series, three World Series championships. 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.200 He said a Baseball's the greatest game enver invented. And 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.120 now he's up there with Joe tory Tonyo LaRussa as 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.640 the most career postseason wins as a manager. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.160 I mean he is on a Hall of Fame trajectory 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.719 right now. There's no doubt about that. He's a Hall 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:33.480 of Famer, no doubt. And he managed the last two 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.920 playoffs the best I've ever seen him manage. You always 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.480 talk about players developing into the players they eventually become. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.760 This is not a slide at Dave Roberts. But when 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.840 he took over the Dodgers, who are ready to win, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.600 he was a rookie manager in twenty sixteen. We have 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.679 seen him get better and take more chances on his 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.600 players than we saw early on in his career. The 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:02.840 last two years he has managed flawlessly, and at some point, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.160 if you're going to point the finger on Dodger talk 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.000 when things don't go right, you got to give this 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.520 guy his due, because now he's a three time World 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:16.040 Series champion. I feel like he in twenty twenty. I 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.640 know we weren't there. I was, but very high. Twenty 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.280 twenty was the year that he really came into his 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.280 own as a manager. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.679 Do you think he turned from being a manager that 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.040 maybe followed the book a little closer to now managing 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.000 more with his gut feel, so to speak, and all right, 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:33.800 I get this, I'm in the moment of the game, 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:35.800 and I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, and 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.920 I'm gonna manage a little bit differently then I started 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.360 as a manager in twenty thirteen or fourteen, whatever it was. 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.520 Well, I think a couple of things happened. Danny Lehman 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.920 becoming a real voice next to him in the dugout, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.280 that stringy haired bench coach. He understands the game plan 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.960 really well. Mark Pryor has helped him out a lot 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.840 as well. You see him discussing what he's going to 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.520 do with both those guys before anything happens. 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.760 So I think it's Dave Roberts. 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.960 But Dave Roberts is such a great manager that he 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:06.480 understands you have to get out of the ways sometimes, 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.720 and he's a great delegator of responsibilities to his coaches 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.439 and he trusts his coaches to steer him in the 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:17.920 right direction along with you know, before the game. Every hour, Yeah, 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.240 there's a game plan meeting because the Dodgers are the 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.560 most prepared team in baseball. I'm not taking a shot 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.680 at the Blue Jays, but they have a knack of 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:31.160 being able to filter information to the players and to 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.240 Dave Roberts to simplify things and get the job done. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.520 He is David Vasse, I'm Tim Kase. We are live 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.040 at Dodgers Stadium. One hour to go here in our 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.440 parade party coverage. We want you to be a part 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.200 of it. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven to two 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.360 five seventy. As they start to empty out Dodgers Stadium, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.280 the celebration doesn't end, though. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:49.520 We want it to continue with you. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.320 Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy Coverage 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.320 of the Dodgers Championship Celebration. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.320 Presented by Budweiser. 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.400 This buds for you and by Bank of America, the 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.520 official bank of the Dodgers. We'll come back into more 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.840 of your phone calls. Petrol some money taking over at 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.800 three o'clock this afternoon. Our coverage continues on your home 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:12.600 of the World Series Champion, back to back World Series Champion, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:17.680 Los Angeles Dodgers. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.160 Oh my gosh, we're going next readings A. 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.080 Day long celebration of your back to back world champion, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:31.920 Los Angeles Dodgers, presented by Strauss, the official workwear provider 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:32.720 of MLB. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.160 But we're back. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.920 Our coverage continues live a Dodgers Stadium. Tim Kaits along 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.600 with David Vasse. A great day here at Dodger Stadium 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:52.960 as we watch Clayton Kershaw walk off the field, hands 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.680 up in the air, and the remaining fancier at Dodger 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.840 Stadium saluting the future Hall of Famer as he makes 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.800 his way into the Dodger dug out one final time here. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.960 David Besse, Yeah, that was surreal. 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.080 You know, I've been with Kershaw every single day since 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.600 twenty twelve. I've seen how much he puts into each 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.760 and every start and into his teammates, and that's why 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.680 everybody loves him and respects him. I think that's why 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.760 everybody gets emotional, because he doesn't just show up play 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.080 with the bad shoulder, a bad back. Over the years, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.760 you think back to when the Dodgers started the year 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.040 in Australia. I mean, that's when he heard the back 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.600 of his shoulder kept pitching six weeks later, when the 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.920 cy Young and MVP in twenty fourteen. Was at the 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:42.480 top of his game. From twenty ten to twenty twenty, yeah, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.880 I would say, yeah, I mean was he was the 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.040 best pitcher in baseball between those ten years. 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.280 It's kind of cool to see him understand the moments 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:53.120 and be in the moment and absorb the moment. I 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.400 feel like this year he knew he was going to 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.560 go into this in retirement, right, and so he absorbed 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:01.680 every single start, single day out here with his kids, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.399 with his family, with his teammates, with the media. It 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:05.960 was kind of cool to see that not a guy 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.560 just grinding every single day like you did for a 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.920 lot of his career, but at least kind of maybe 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.040 step back a little bit and soak it all in. 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:17.119 Yeah, I mean, I would say the last two years, 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.840 he's enjoyed the moments more than he ever has before. 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:22.959 That's for certain. 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.920 He has enjoyed the moments more than ever before these 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:31.000 last two years. And yeah, it's just one of those 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:35.240 things that he he's meant so much to this organization 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.800 and I think the things that will stand out to 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.560 me are those things. Tim It's not the starts that 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.359 he made, but just seeing how he would be the 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:46.600 first one out here before everybody else. He would be 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:50.560 the guy that would you know, be there for teammates. 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.480 He would wash away starts, even after his no hitter, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.040 he would start the next five day routine. He was 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.399 so routine oriented. That's what will stick out to me. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.600 And I've never been around a guy more prepared or 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:08.159 works harder than Clayton Kershaw this side of Kobe Bryant, 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.040 because I was around him a lot, and those two 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.240 guys had the best work ethic as far as the 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:15.399 greatest talent to go along with it. 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.240 This clubhouse is going to feel a little different moving forward. 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:19.159 This team's going to. 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.480 Feel a little different moving forward without number twenty two there. 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:23.760 Every single day. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.880 I wonder how it looks, how how the leadership differs, 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.359 if it does it all with Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:30.880 maybe taking more of a role. 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:32.080 Or is it just stay the same. 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:34.480 Yeah, that's a great question. 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.199 I really do believe that Blake Snell has to be 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.520
