Speaker 5: Sounds like the meeting lasted until Wednesday or Thursday.

98
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: It was a lengthy media meeting between him and the

99
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 4: front office, and according to the San Diego Union Tribune,

100
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 4: pool Hols missed his pregame coverage on Tuesday before Game

101
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: three because he was in San Diego for his second

102
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: interview with the team. It was an in person meeting

103
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: for nine hours. Come on, nine hours. Albert Poolhols reportedly

104
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: met with the San Diego Padres front office and ownership

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: nine really hours? How much baseball can you talk.

106
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: In nine hours of a meeting? That makes me I

107
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: would be really skeptical of nine hours. What are they

108
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: doing running a police check on him?

109
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: I mean, really not. You don't have nine hours?

110
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: I mean what if I'm Albert Pooles and they have

111
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 4: documentary in four they if they have me sitting there

112
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: for nine hours and are asking your questions about things

113
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: for nine hours, I would say You're not gonna pick

114
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 4: you right thanks, but no thanks. I don't want to

115
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: be micro managed and talk to and go over things

116
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: baseball strategy wise for nine hours.

117
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: That is micro. That's micro. I guess you got to

118
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: find another one up there you're going. I mean, they

119
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: had to be asking him. Someday one of the players

120
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: goes to the bathroom during the third inning, would you

121
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: have somebody follow him in there and make sure that

122
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: he's not in there more than a minute thirty five seconds?

123
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: If it is, is it on a day, it's a Wednesday,

124
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 2: it's a day game with wins out of the west

125
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: billion at seven knots. I mean, is that the kind

126
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: of crap you ask somebody for nine hours? Well, the

127
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: computer says, if it was, If it was more than

128
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: two hours, three hours, I'm out of there. I got stuff,

129
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: I got another life. This goes to tell you, dude,

130
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: if they're gonna keep you in there for a meeting

131
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: for nine hours, you're gonna be at the park for

132
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: fifteen to eighteen a day.

133
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: You wonder why Mike Shildt abroughtly retired despite having back

134
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: to back ninety win seasons and playoff berst and a

135
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 4: really good roster and a chance to you know win

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: the division every year, and ownership that wants to win,

137
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 4: and a front office committed to winning. They made trades

138
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: to trade away their freuture to bring in guys at

139
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: the deadline. And now you want to have a nine

140
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: hour meeting with Albert poolhls.

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: You think Poolholes is gonna gonna allow these guys to

142
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: tell him how to manage his team. That might be

143
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: a short tenure right over there with San Diego. If

144
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: you're gonna do that, You know what if I was

145
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 2: owning the team, you know what I do that. You

146
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: know what I do, Tim, this is what I do.

147
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,799

149
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: personally with the players, because that's the other side of it.

150
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay out of your hair. You won't get

151
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: one lineup. You know, suggestion from me, You go run

152
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: the team and if there's something that you need from me,

153
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: come up and ask me. Or let's visit once in

154
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: a while, just to keep the channels of communication open,

155
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: because I always want to know. I want you to

156
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: know that the doors always open. You run it the

157
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: way you want to run it. That's what I would do.

158
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: Okay, So now you've got eight hours and fifty eight

159
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 4: minutes left on your.

160
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 5: Nine hour meets? What are you gonna do?

161
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 7: Right?

162
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: I mean, how many scenarios can you throw out a guy?

163
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 4: How many players can you run down and get his

164
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: opinion and analysis as are? And how many scantron tests

165
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: can you take over a nine hours to talk about

166
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: whether or not you would do this in this strategy?

167
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 5: All right?

168
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 4: Runners on first and runners second?

169
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 7: Right here?

170
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: So and so is pitching? And would you would you

171
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 5: do a safety squeeze, would you do a hit and run?

172
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 5: Would you do a straight steal? What are the things

173
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 5: you would do? Would you do it?

174
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: Maybe a delayed steal if the left handed pitcher and

175
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: you can't go on first move? I mean, that's the

176
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: kind of crap you're gonna ask him.

177
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, And also, by the way, keep in mind, this

178
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: is a guy who's never managed in the big leagues.

179
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: He's managed in the Dominican Republic Winner League, and he's

180
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 4: managed I think in the WBC. I know he's supposed

181
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 4: to manage this team coming up in February in the WBC.

182
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: You know, you know what the answer to that is.

183
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: He's already he's already done some managing. He knows the

184
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: game in and out because he played for such a

185
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: long time. You put a very experienced, really good bench

186
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: coach with him, and no problem. Listen, managers, you see,

187
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: they they take all the they take the brunt for calls,

188
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 2: you know, both good and bad. Okay, but but.

189
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 5: This isn't just a manager's decision. You got a bench

190
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 5: coach with you. Most people don't even.

191
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: Realize that a bench coach really does make a lot

192
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: of the calls. And then the managers just yeah, yeah,

193
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: you know, I was thinking that too, and we'll do this,

194
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: we'll do that, we'll do this. But but but he's

195
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: got a he's got a partner there on the bench

196
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: with them that's really experienced. Look at Bob garn when

197
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: he's on the bench. Look at with Toronto.

198
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: Okay.

199
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: These guys are experienced guys that have had managerial experience before,

200
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: and they work with the manager.

201
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: It's not like he's.

202
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 4: Gonna be surprised.

203
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know there was two outs and there

204
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: was a guy on Holy crime, And what do we

205
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: do now?

206
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 5: Is that's not gonna happen?

207
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, knows, they're all done. There's no problem with that

208
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: unbelievable nurs I mean.

209
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 5: Nine hour meeting? Are you serious?

210
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: What is he asking about his his great great great grandfather?

211
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: I mean, are you serious?

212
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 5: Nine hours? I'd say, what the hell am I here for? If?

213
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 4: If I'm Poolholes, I'm walking away or running away as

214
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: fast as I get from them.

215
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 5: Make that.

216
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: Make that an indication of what they're gonna do and

217
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: own you. They're gonna run the show and you're gonna

218
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: be at the park as a puppet for about eighteen

219
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: hours a day taking all the slings and arrows when

220
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: their suggestions don't work out.

221
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 5: Now I know, thank you.

222
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: I was wondering why the padres of all teams would

223
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: be interested in a first time manager in Albert Pooles.

224
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 4: I was just sitting here thinking about it. It popped

225
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 4: into my mind, and I don't know why I didn't

226
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: think about this sooner. It's for Fernando to tist Junior.

227
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 4: They want somebody that could control him. They want somebody

228
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: that could have, you know, his ear on a daily basis.

229
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: And not to say that the other managers didn't, but

230
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 4: you bring in a guy from the DR. You bring

231
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: in a respected future Hall of famer in Albert pool Holes. Yeah, instantly,

232
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: that brings credibility, and that brings a voice to Fernando

233
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 4: Tis Chiefs Tis Junior, who is instantly gonna have to listen.

234
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: Whether he likes it or not, he better respect a

235
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: guy who's from the dr and is a legend like

236
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: Albert Pooles. I think that's the big reason you bring

237
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 4: him in.

238
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Albert's Albert's the kind of guy who could just look

239
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: at him and Tatis ain't gonna say anything. Number one,

240
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: because you know he's done about five hundred times more

241
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: than Tatists has ever done so far. I'm not saying

242
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 2: Tattys is not a great player, but he has been

243
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: known to cheat, isn't that right?

244
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay, so that's one thing.

245
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: So you already don't question the guy in front of

246
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: you because this guy is a Hall of Famer and

247
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 2: you know he could thump you if he had to too.

248
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 2: He could think he could thump him, you know, so

249
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: this might be a good, good thing.

250
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 5: To do here.

251
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: Uh, just real quick, we'll get back to the Dodgers

252
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: in a second, and we're talking about Albert Pooles because

253
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: he's a former Dodger. But a shout out to a

254
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: good friend of the show, Daniel Jeremiah, who you see

255
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: on the NFL Network. They're lead analyst, Charger analyst here

256
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: on the Chargers broadcast as well. We love DJ. He

257
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 4: is a diehard Padres fan, He's a season ticket holder

258
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 4: with his family forever. And he just sends a text

259
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 4: and says, of course, scam talking about the Padres managerial

260
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: segment instead of the Dodgers who kevin't had a hit

261
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: all season for a series long. We love you DJ,

262
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: but of course we're just talking about a former Dodger

263
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 4: who's now going to be infiltrated into the Padres organization.

264
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: There is possible manager of the Padres and Albert book.

265
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: So we love your DJ. So let's get back to

266
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: Let's get back to the uh. The Dodgers, all right,

267
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 4: and the lack of offense and the need for Mookie Bets

268
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 4: in particular to get going. Here here again is Mookie

269
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: Bets last night postgame as he searches, as we all

270
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: search for him to get something going offensively.

271
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak on anybody else but for

272
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: me personally, I've just been terrible.

273
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 5: I've been terrible, and there's no UH. I wish it

274
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 5: was from lack of effort, I really do, but it's not.

275
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: So Yeah, I don't have any.

276
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 4: Answers, doesn't have any answers searching for answers, searching for something.

277
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: And you said, you've been there before, saxone there as

278
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: a hitter. You're you're what do you? What do you do?

279
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: What do you? How do you find you?

280
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: What?

281
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: What?

282
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: Like?

283
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: How do you discovered? Is that under a pillow in

284
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 4: your bed?

285
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 5: Like?

286
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: How do you figure out how to get back to

287
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 4: being a hitter again?

288
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: Uh? You got to get back to the very very

289
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: very very basics, and that is I got to be

290
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: the most relaxed I've ever seen to play. That would

291
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: drain every bit of anxiety out of the body. Hanging

292
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: there like a loose dish rag. You just hang there

293
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 2: with that much freedom in your body. Okay, number one,

294
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: Number two I have to see the baseball. I must

295
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 2: see the baseball. And number three, I'm just going to

296
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: lay a simple swing on it. I'm not going to

297
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: try to overpower it. That doesn't mean I won't hit

298
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: the ball out of the ballpark. Matter of fact, sometimes

299
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: you hit it a lot further that way, and I

300
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: would just hit it where it's pitch and hit it

301
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: hard and let the chips fall where they may. And

302
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: one caller called in earlier and said, hey, maybe we

303
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: just don't play Mookie when maybe we just sit him

304
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: down and tell Remember the caller said that, So what

305
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: I was saying, I couldn't get in there. But what

306
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: I was going to say is, well, you know what,

307
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to win or lose with Mooki Bets. Either way,

308
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: that is an absurd thing. I wouldn't Mooki would be

309
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: the first guy put.

310
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 5: In the lineup.

311
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm a huge, huge Mookie Bets fan. Nobody feels worse

312
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: than he does.

313
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 5: He wears it. He's a pro.

314
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: I love Mooki Bets, and he'd be the first name

315
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 2: I'd write in the lineup. And you know he's in there,

316
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: good or bad, no matter what. And I think Mooki

317
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: will figure it out. I have so much confidence in

318
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets and what this guy's been able to do.

319
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: Come in from rightfield where he won six goal gloves,

320
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 2: now he comes into shortstop and playing on the biggest stage.

321
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: I just can't tell you how much I admire this guy.

322
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 5: He is such a.

323
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: World class, phenomenal athlete on and off the field.

324
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: I'm just a huge fan.

325
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 4: A lot of folks pointing out that in twenty twenty

326
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: three when the Dodgers lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks in

327
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: the NLDS, the Diamondbacks got fired and weren't a better

328
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: team than the Dodgers, but had good pitching against the

329
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: Dodgers and styping the Dodgers offensively and really got after

330
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 4: Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman, who did not have good series.

331
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: And now they're pointing to the pitching of the Toronto

332
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: Blue Jays getting after the Dodgers offense and the lack

333
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: of production for both Freddie Freeman and Mookie Bets. Yes,

334
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 4: I get Freddie Freeman hit a home run in Game

335
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: three to win it in the eight innings, but other

336
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: than that, these two have not done much offensively. With

337
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: that being said, this lineup is too deep. It's too

338
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: long for two guys to have bad series like Mookie

339
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: and Freddie. Saxy. This team is built so in case

340
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: that happened, You've got Will Smith, You've got Max Munsey. Uh,

341
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: You've got a guy named sho Hey. You've got keyk Hernandez,

342
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: mister October I've been told is his nickname. You've got

343
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 4: other guys in this lineup that can carry the load.

344
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 4: It's built so if two guys don't have good series,

345
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: the rest can pick it up. The problem is all

346
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 4: nine or not having good series right now, extremely rare

347
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 4: for this to happen.

348
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: You got guys like ta Oscar Hernandez, who has has

349
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: a penchant for coming up big in games like this.

350
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: You got guys that can hit the ballpark like Max Munsey,

351
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: who I believe has more home runs than any Dodger

352
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: in postseason.

353
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 5: Okay, you go.

354
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: You got guys all over this lineup that can change

355
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: it with one swing of the bat. I mean one

356
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: swing of the bat can change this whole thing. And

357
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: you got guys who can situationally hit to hit the

358
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: ball over the field, like like Edmund and Will Smith can.

359
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: Do that as well.

360
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: But you need to start implementing that stuff because time's

361
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: a wasting. You know, you got two games left? Can

362
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: they can the Dodgers go back and win two games? Yes,

363
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: absolutely they can.

364
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 5: You know, there's no question about that. And you know

365
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens.

366
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: But this lineup, the the way that it's stacked up

367
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: against our pictures against their pitchers.

368
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: I like the Dodgers' pitchers much better, no doubt.

369
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 4: Chris in La next up, been waiting patiently here with

370
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: Sax and Kats and am. Good morning, Chris, how you doing.

371
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: Good morning gentlemen. First and foremost, let me thank you

372
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: both for providing. This is a great show. It's it's

373
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: a great time of year to hear you guys on

374
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: the radio.

375
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you.

376
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: Uh so so so, I wanted to give a public

377
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 3: service announcemental Dodger fans. You know, I've been watching baseball

378
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: over fifty years, and like I told my daughter, this

379
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: is baseball. It's unpredictable because no one in the world

380
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: could have predicted that Snell would give up two home

381
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: runs and three pitches. No one would have predicted that,

382
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, the Dodgers only get three hits up until

383
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: the ninth inn. And definitely no one would have predicted

384
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: a kid who's been in the majors for forty something

385
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 3: days from single A would have you know, a world

386
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 3: Series historic night and beat the Dodgers the way they did. So,

387
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: you know, it's funny. Also because I always say I

388
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 3: don't bet on baseball. Because it's too unpredictable. And Sachs,

389
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: you hit on something that made me just look something

390
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: up while I was on hold. You know, what's the

391
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: hardest major sport to bet on? And I looked it

392
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 3: up and if you google it, it says baseball, and

393
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: it says because there's too much luck and there's low scoring,

394
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: so it makes it unpredictable. So you know, we were

395
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: lucky when the Yankees, you know, failed to cover first

396
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 3: base on Looky's hit in that you know, fifth inning,

397
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 3: that we've got all our runs. Last year, we were

398
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: lucky that Philly's pitcher forgot how many outs there were

399
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: and you know, through the home and we were able

400
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: to make it to the World Series. So there's a

401
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 3: lot of plays. Like you said, Saxa, just rely on luck.

402
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: And that's just the way it is. You know, our

403
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: team has buien. It's a feast or famine team. You know,

404
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: when we're hot, we're gonna knock the ball out of

405
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: the park and score a lot of runs. But then

406
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: sometimes you're not gonna get those runs. So you know,

407
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: I just say it's all about timely hitting. We got

408
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: to hope that they have timely hitting tomorrow. And you know,

409
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: just enjoy the entertainment value of it. Root your team on,

410
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 3: but don't get too emotionally tied up because it's just

411
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 3: so unpredictable. And anyway, love you guys, keep doing it.

412
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 4: Great work, all right, Chris, I appreciate it. You know,

413
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: it's it's just hard for me to accept, Steve and

414
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: I have to accept it. But in my mind, it's

415
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 4: hard to accept that baseball at this level, with the

416
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: amount of money these guys are making. And that's just

417
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: part of the equation, the high stakes that are at

418
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: it right now, that it's up to luck in chance.

419
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: Has something to hope, has something to do with it.

420
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: Any what else is funny? I don't hear anything about, Oh,

421
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are wrecking baseball. You don't hear that anymore,

422
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: do you? Oh?

423
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, they're ruining baseball. I forgetting that a

424
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 4: little bit ways back. Yeah, yeah, we're all those idiots.

425
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:05,840

00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 7: where I'm at right now. But my brain was my

470
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 7: brain was racing, and I just I had been thinking

471
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 7: about what I had watched last night and the conversation

472
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 7: about the adjustments that you Savage had been making, and

473
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 7: I got, like I said, I got the brain working,

474
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 7: So I started to dive into the numbers and just

475
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 7: kind of highlighting his his adjustments. I guess you could say,

476
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 7: because it was impressive. It was impressive to watch. Unfortunately

477
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 7: the Dodgers on the short end of that.

478
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dallas is so good to be with you this morning.

479
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: And Tim, I got to tell you and our listeners,

480
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: everybody on YouTube here is there is nobody does it

481
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: better than Dallas Braid. He is the best guy on TV.

482
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 2: He's one of the smartest guys I've ever met. He's

483
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: got the greatest beard that I've ever seen, and he's

484
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 2: just he's about the He's about the nicest guy you

485
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: could ever meet. I love working with Dallas Brayden. I

486
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 2: can't wait to go at it again this year with him. Dallas,

487
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: do you like the pictures I've said you? I was

488
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: going through Stockton, I sent a couple of pictures of

489
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 2: you of the signs as I was traveling through Stockton.

490
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: Every time I see somebody with the great beard doesn't

491
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 2: match Dallas's, I gotta send that one to you too.

492
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: I hope I'm not bombing you with the Texas here.

493
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 7: I love it. And it's to the point out where

494
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 7: I look at my phone and I'll get it and

495
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 7: just start chuckling, and my wife knows it's really it's

496
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 7: one of two people at this point. It's either Dasky

497
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 7: John Dosko, who is a see Sax's partner, or it's

498
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 7: you Saxon with an incredible shot of you and your

499
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 7: great smile and somebody's grill, somebody's beard. It's phenomenal. So

500
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 7: I appreciate every bit of it. My man, keep him.

501
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 4: Coming, Dallas, What have you made so far of these

502
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: five games? And the Toronto Blue Jays the way they

503
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 4: play the offensively and the pitching they've gotten, especially from

504
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: Trey Savage in these two starts. He's been in the

505
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: big leagues for forty seven days, more starts in the

506
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 4: postseason at the big league level than the regular season,

507
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 4: and last night twelve strikeouts against this vaunted Dodgers lineup.

508
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 7: And that's why I highlighted the adjustments that we were

509
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 7: watching him make is because of what you just outline

510
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 7: right now, and to have made more postseason starts than

511
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 7: you have regular season starts, and to think about the

512
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 7: depth of that and the fact that three of those

513
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 7: you've pitched twice against three of those teams, so three

514
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 7: of those teams have seen you twice now and in

515
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 7: your second outings for the most part, you have made

516
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: the adjustments and you have become dominant. And it is

517
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 7: not easy to do. Simply put, it's just not easy

518
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 7: to do. And he has shown he has shown incredible poise,

519
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 7: incredible nound presence already for a for guy his age.

520
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 7: And I think that's first and foremost what you take

521
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 7: away from that, because even in the interviews after the game,

522
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 7: you know, when being asked about his thought process and

523
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 7: kind of what this means, that he's he's articulate in

524
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 7: a way that seems like it's just a little beyond

525
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 7: his years. And I think that's that's been impressive. What

526
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 7: else has impress me is I think the anks at

527
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 7: which the Blue Jays are playing the game. I think

528
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 7: we all after getting molly wopped, I think we all

529
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 7: were wondering, Wow, it's going to be tough to give

530
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 7: back up off the canvas after that one. And not

531
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 7: only have they gotten back up off the canvas, but

532
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 7: they've they've built a nice little one two piece to

533
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 7: the Dodgers, and they're kind of stun right now, going, well,

534
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 7: what what what I mean? There might be stars And

535
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 7: the fact that the Dodgers now have to get on

536
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 7: a plane and travel to the six for Game six

537
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 7: with all of this momentum behind them. I think, honestly,

538
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 7: the best thing that the Dodgers have going for them

539
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 7: right now is the day off that prevents the Blue

540
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 7: Jays from just continuing to roll with the momentum that

541
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 7: they've built for themselves. You know, I felt like for

542
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 7: the Dodgers, if they were going to be able to

543
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 7: squeeze six innings out of their starting pitching each time out,

544
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 7: that was going to give them the best chance to win,

545
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 7: simply because of the cracks the fissures, if you will,

546
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 7: that we have started to see from their bullpen. And

547
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 7: unfortunately that just didn't ring true. Right you get six

548
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 7: plus out or innings from Snell and the bullpen's not

549
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 7: able to nail it down. I think you know an

550
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 7: inning last night where you had a couple runs across

551
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 7: late that come. One run comes across you without a hit, right,

552
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 7: you get a guy on a couple of walks balls

553
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 7: and dep off the backstop, and I mean, that is

554
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 7: just not a championship brand of baseball and that just

555
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 7: cannot be happening at this moment in time. And that's

556
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 7: where I think there does have to be credit given

557
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 7: to the Blue Jays. I think the Blue Jays just

558
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 7: straight up just beat the Dodgers. Just beat them.

559
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 5: They got beat YEP. I agree with you, Dallas.

560
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: And you know, you look at this Dodger team that

561
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: can really mash the top four guys Dallas yesterday, eight strikeouts,

562
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman who won that game in the eighteenth with

563
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: the home run, you know, with three at bats three strikeouts.

564
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: That is not like a Dodger these guys. These guys

565
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: are good hitters over here in LA. You know, Dallas,

566
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: how much is this a self induced implosion or a

567
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: collective collapse or is it just that the the Toronto

568
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: club pitches their tail off. And I know we kind

569
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: of have a one off with this, you savage, But

570
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: overall it's been it's been a dominant type of pitching

571
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: by Toronto.

572
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 7: It has and to your point, ZAXX, yeah, I think

573
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 7: what we've seen is and I was I was on

574
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 7: the borderline of tweeting it last night. I just I

575
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 7: felt like it might have been a little early. But

576
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 7: I was going to say even in some of these

577
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 7: at bats, early in the game. After look after, after

578
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 7: you throw three pitches and you're down to nothing. Yeah,

579
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 7: you know how it feels from an offensive perspective, I

580
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 7: don't care if you haven't taken in it that yet.

581
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 7: It still feels like, wow, that ballgame, this ball game

582
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 7: just got a little shorter, like we just ran out

583
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 7: a little bit of time and we all know it.

584
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 7: Right now, it's too nothing. He's throwing three pitches. What

585
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 7: are we gonna do? And it felt like they started

586
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 7: to press and then when they were never really I mean,

587
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 7: you know, you climb back in it with a big swing,

588
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 7: but you're never really able to create any separation. You're

589
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 7: never really and then you're down and now you're trailing,

590
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 7: and it just felt like there was a lot of

591
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 7: pressing going on. And that's why I mean the Blue Jays,

592
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 7: they've done a great job of running the bases, being aggressive,

593
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 7: running the bases. Once they got out to a lead,

594
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 7: you saw them start to move on the bases a

595
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 7: little more. And it's almost as to say, like, hey,

596
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 7: we understand that we have momentum right now, we have energy.

597
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 7: We are not going to relinquish this right now. And

598
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 7: it has been I think we all understood it was

599
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 7: going to be a matter of who was going to

600
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 7: be able to get the most juice out of their

601
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 7: starting pitching because of what the bullpens do. Slash do

602
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 7: not represent Dallas.

603
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: Final thing for me, and I appreciate you coming on

604
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: with us this morning. Yamamoto gets to start at Game

605
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 4: six for the Dodgers. A complete game last time out.

606
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 4: He's already got two complete games here in October for

607
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. He needs to carry this Dodgers team deep

608
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 4: into Game six. What do you see from man besides

609
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 4: just an electric fastball when it's on, But that split finger.

610
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 4: It's one of the best in the game, isn't it.

611
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 7: Oh, It's absolutely disgusting, And I mean we've seen this

612
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 7: has been an incredible display of splits this postseason and

613
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 7: even specifically in this World Series. When you think about

614
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 7: what we just saw from you, Savage, what you have

615
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 7: at the back end in Sasaki, who's throwing a split

616
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 7: with the with the rpns of a knuckleball. I mean,

617
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 7: you've got the spin rate of a knuckleball on that

618
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 7: damn thing. Good luck uh and and I mean it's

619
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 7: just it is, it's it's It's been a lot of fun.

620
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 7: I think. I think what's going to be the most

621
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 7: interesting here moving forward over these next couple of days,

622
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 7: hopefully for the Dodgers anyway, is is how they're able

623
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 7: to bounce back, because offensively, that split for the for

624
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays has been an equalizer. You talked about

625
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 7: the way it shut down Freddy Freeman, the same thing

626
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 7: for for Otani at times he was kind of tied

627
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 7: in the knot. It was just a it was a

628
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 7: tough go. So I would really like to see I

629
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 7: think for Yamamoto it is going to have to be

630
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 7: another another get on my back and carry the low

631
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 7: type of performance and think about it. That's really what

632
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 7: has led to the Dodgers' obsess here in the World

633
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 7: Series is a game like like nobody else has seen

634
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 7: offensively from sho Heyo Tani and a performance from Yamamoto

635
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 7: and back to back performances where he has started, what

636
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 7: he's finished. If it's taking that to win ball games here,

637
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 7: that's say, that's a tough road to home.

638
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dallas.

639
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: In another respect, that's called a strong number one on

640
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: your team.

641
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 5: The Dodgers.

642
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: When you look over there from the perspective of Toronto,

643
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 2: they're looking at five number ones if you want to

644
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: include Sasaki, who is not really a reliever. But you're

645
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: looking at five number ones over here going forward, Dallas,

646
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, you know, you got Yamamoto against Gosman.

647
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 5: I'll go with Yamamoto.

648
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: Then you got probably you know, Otani probably gonna do

649
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: an opener. As we talked to David Vasse about this,

650
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: probably an opener in game seven if it goes to that,

651
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: and then everybody else against Max Scherzer and everybody else.

652
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: I think, looking forward to the next two games, if

653
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: it goes that far, I think the Dodgers got a

654
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: good advantage in starting pitching.

655
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 7: I I and look, I think one thing we all

656
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 7: have to be aware of in the media is the

657
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 7: story hasn't changed. Right where you felt like the Dodgers

658
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 7: had leverage hasn't changed. It's still tilting in their favor.

659
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 7: But what we have seen is execution slash a lack

660
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 7: of and that is what has been the separating factor.

661
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 7: And when you talk about where you're supposed to be

662
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 7: getting the performances from and where you're coming up short

663
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 7: for that to be in the same area, that's why

664
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 7: the Dodgers find themselves trailing in this series right now.

665
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 7: But I still believe the same thing you do, see Sacks,

666
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 7: that the Dodgers, it's still an advantage for them to

667
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 7: be in the spot there and considering the arms they

668
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 7: have on deck.

669
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 4: Dallas, we appreciate you coming on this morning. We're on

670
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,160

Speaker 4: last night.

732
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, Joe Man, thanks for taking the calling you guys. Man,

733
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 8: I am a little bit savena. I guess I'm talking

734
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 8: about it yet, but we are approaching to the end

735
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 8: the scam, right, But it's been a good little run here.

736
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 8: But honestly, don't want to open up a big can

737
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 8: of worms as a bottom line in front, man, I

738
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 8: think we got to do more than just kind of

739
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 8: some of the chairs on the deck of the Titanic.

740
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 8: We gotta go all in and like I said, don't

741
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 8: want open up can of worms. But I'm putting Mooki

742
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 8: in right, I'm putting mcguil in shore. But we'll see

743
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 8: how it goes. Guys, we got it. We still can win.

744
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 8: Like Joey said, it ain't over toils over, so let's

745
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 8: go get this windy guys.

746
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 4: All right, no doubt about that. Kenny and Tarzana, Welcome

747
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 4: to Saxon k today. Am How you doing, Kenny, I'm

748
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 4: doing well.

749
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 6: I agree with his on that lineup change. Steve has

750
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 6: mentioned luck, and I agree that that does sometimes play

751
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 6: a part in baseball. Steve, you also mentioned stretch Willie McCovey.

752
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 6: Of course I'm sixty two. Well, and you were a

753
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 6: toddler and I was just an infant. Vy Ve drives.

754
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 6: There you go. Bad luck for the Giants, great luck

755
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 6: for the Yankees. Let's go over to two two thousand

756
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 6: and one. I actually went to Game six there in Arizona,

757
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 6: watched Game seven at home back in LA, and of

758
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 6: course we know Luis Gonzalez hit that little Texas leaguer

759
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 6: and the Diamondbacks ended up winning. So luck, definitely we

760
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 6: can play a part in baseball, no.

761
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 5: Doubt about it.

762
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 4: Can you appreciate the phone call? Thanks for wearing waiting

763
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 4: in this morning, Reggie in nor Walk, Reggie, thanks for waiting,

764
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: Thanks for being patient. What's on your mind on this

765
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 4: Thursday morning?

766
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 9: You know, after seeing the Dodgers that falls short. You

767
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 9: know I needed a little pick me up, and I

768
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 9: switched over to the Laker game and see'll win a game,

769
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 9: you know, game winner. And I'm thinking to myself, well,

770
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 9: what the Dodgers are doing is what you know a

771
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 9: lot of bad NBA teams do, and I'd be playing

772
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 9: hero ball.

773
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 5: You know.

774
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 9: There's everyone's trying to slam it out, the slam it

775
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 9: out the park instead of getting base hits and clearing

776
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 9: a clearing a loaded bass or players that are just

777
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 9: like Steve saxsit or there's not enough crucial bass hitting

778
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 9: and going for home runs every time. And also one

779
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 9: of one of the things when Steve said, I was

780
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 9: talking about going back to basics. I hate to say it,

781
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 9: even though we're in the World Series, but maybe they

782
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 9: just need to go back to doing some batting practice. Yeah,

783
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 9: I'm talking about practice. I know it's the World Series,

784
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 9: but maybe they just need to get back to batting all.

785
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: Right, appreciate Reggie. They do take batting practice. I was

786
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 4: there the last three days.

787
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 5: I think the regular practice on the field.

788
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 4: They do take batting practice on the field.

789
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 5: Once in a while. Most most most players don't hit

790
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 5: on the field.

791
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 4: I watched I watched the last three days A couple

792
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 4: of groups go through there. Not everybody show he doesn't, certainly,

793
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 4: but I saw a couple of hitting groups go out there.

794
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 4: Not as much from the Toronto Blue Jays either, by

795
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 4: the way.

796
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes they'll take early batting practice, but but the

797
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: regular batting practice time, I see it all year long,

798
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 2: you know, calling the games with the A's and and

799
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: other teams a's as well. They don't have a formal

800
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: line of batting practice, all done beforehand. Then they go

801
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: in the cage and hit during the batting practice time.

802
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 5: I don't know why.

803
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: I like to see the ball come off the bat

804
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: and and see where it's gonna land, and how it leaves,

805
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: how it leaves the infield. Those those things matter, but

806
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 2: I don't know. Today they don't do it much.

807
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 4: Olivia wrap things up on this Thursday morning in our

808
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 4: final minute here, Hi Olivia, how you doing.

809
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 7: Hi? Good morning guys.

810
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 3: First things first, Mookie being left off the lineup.

811
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 7: Is appbsolutely crazy. That color that said that, that's wild.

812
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 7: That should never happen.

813
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 3: The second of all, I will be taking my kids

814
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 3: trick or treating at three pm just so I could

815
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 3: watch the game, so they should be ready for that

816
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 3: also on the lineup. Roberts, I know mixed up the lineup.

817
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 9: He had call in there, but.

818
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 6: I would love to see miggi Row in there.

819
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 7: He's a veteran guy.

820
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 3: He can light a fire. If anybody saw last night,

821
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 3: he was the last one out of the dugout. He

822
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: wants this as much as anybody. So if we could

823
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 3: see miggi Row maybe in the clean second, maybe Tommy

824
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: Edmand in centerfield. I know he has a foot injury,

825
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 3: but I would love to see miggi ro get out there.

826
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 3: We need that small ball.

827
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 7: We need a bunt, we need we need that fire,

828
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 7: and I think he could bring it.

829
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have liked to have seen him in

830
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: the line. Thank you Olivia for your folk. I would

831
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: like to have seen him last night. As David Vass

832
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 4: pointed out, because of the turf in Toronto, probably not

833
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 4: going to see Miguel Rojas at second because Tommy Edmond

834
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,400
