Speaker 1: is a game four between the Dodgers and Phillies, and

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: quite honestly, I feel like the Dodgers are poised to

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: sweep Philadelphia tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium. And look, it'll

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: be the first NLDS home game for the Dodgers, and

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: it should be electric at Dodger Stadium. If you saw

26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: what was happening in Philadelphia, whoever's coming to the game tomorrow,

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: it feel like a postseason game. I know the Reds

Speaker 1: the wildcard series. I understand the buzz. There wasn't the uh,

31
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: the way to uh really wasn't playoff atmosphere at Dodgers Stadium.

32
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting how the Dodgers and

Speaker 1: to our special guest. And this is the highest of

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: honors that is going to call in. Just want to

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: recap Blake Snell and what he did last night. I

49
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: felt like he again was completely overlooked because of the

50
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: dramatics of what took place in the ninth inning last night.

51
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: Blake Snell was the guy that helped the Dodgers win

52
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: that game last night, especially with the way Jesus Lozardo

53
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: was pitching and holding the Dodger offense down at one

54
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: point retiring seventeen in a row. Without Blake Snell matching

55
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: zeros and holding down Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, the

56
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Dodgers may not even be talking about the ninth inning

57
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: and talking about having a two games to nothing lead,

58
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: So I couldn't believe. Also in the postgame press conference

59
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: that there were only two reporters that asked Blake Snell

60
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: a question. I mean, how do you do that? The

61
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: guy pitched six scoreless innings, allowed just one hit, and

62
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: had nine strikeouts, and only two reporters asked him a question.

63
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: At some point you got to acknowledge that he's one

64
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: of the best starters in Major League Baseball, and without him,

65
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: the Dodgers do not have a two games to nothing lead.

66
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: All right, So we do have our special guest on

67
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the line. He was at Dodgers Stadium, So let's bring

68
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: on his Dodger Talk intro music. This is not his

69
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: warm up pitcher music. We are joined right now by

70
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: three time Cy Young Award winner National League MVP in

71
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, one of the greatest competitors you have ever

72
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: witnessed in the last eighteen years, and is waiting for

73
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: that bullpen phone to ring so he could prove to

74
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: everybody that truck still works in the playoffs. That is

75
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: number twenty two himself, Clayton Kershaw. Clayton, thanks a lot

76
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: for calling in appreciate it.

77
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: Thanks Dave.

78
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: How are you.

79
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. I'm doing great. I assume that you

80
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: have a shirt on, and yes, you do have your pants.

81
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: On, I do I have fully closed at the moment.

00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 6: Thank you for having.

83
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: Clayton. I'm sure this has got to be a special

84
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: time for you. At this time last year you weren't

85
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: able to participate in the postseason, but even just being

86
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: down in the bullpen, how much does it mean to

87
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: you to be available whenever the team needs you.

88
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 6: Oh?

89
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been fun to be down there with the guys.

90
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: You know, the bullpen's almost like a different it's like

91
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: a different group, you know, it's like a different club

92
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 5: within a club, you know. So it's been Uh, it's

93
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 5: been fun to be a part of it. And it's

94
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: a different animal down there. Man, that phone rings, you

95
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: feel about adrenaline start flowing, and you just it's a

96
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 5: very underappreciated job to be a bullpen pitcher, so learning

97
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 5: that on the fly, just watching all these guys, and

98
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 5: it's it's been fun to be a part of.

99
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Last night, we saw you starting to get hot in

100
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: case things did go into extra innings. What was it

101
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: like when that phone rang and Josh Bard called out

102
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: your name? Do you did you get that type of

103
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: I guess, for a lack of better analogy, like a

104
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: fireman like having to go down the pole and get

105
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: ready quickly.

106
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: No, I wasn't a bad and called for me.

107
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: We had Rokie.

108
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 5: We had Rokie do it last night. He got it done. Oh.

109
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: When I was in the tunnel, they were saying that

110
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: you were moving around a little bit.

111
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm moving around for three hours.

112
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 6: I'm old.

113
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 5: I gotta stay loose, k.

114
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: I guess so. But I mean when you're when you're

115
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: in that position, how do you how do you change

116
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: your routine? Because you're such a routine oriented guy, how

117
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: do you how do you keep the body ready?

118
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 7: Yeah?

119
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: You know, I just try and do some of the

120
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 5: stuff I do as a starter and just try to

121
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: space it out throughout the game. And it seems to

122
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: be working well. You know, I feel loose enough and

123
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 5: just can't sit down for too long. You know, you

124
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 5: just kind of move around enough, and then if that

125
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: phone phone call is hopefully the adrenaline just takes over

126
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 5: and you're ready to go.

127
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: Hey, Clayton, Emma Sheen and Jack Dryer down in the

128
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: bullpen with you. They did let me know that you

129
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: allowed them to stay with you for a week while

130
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: the family was out of town during the month of September.

131
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: What does it mean to you that, I know, guys

132
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: that watched you pitch are now your teammates. But to

133
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: be able to just talk baseball with them and allow

134
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: them to hear you talk about the game.

135
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 5: Oh no, I don't know about all that. They're just

136
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 5: good guys, you know. And it's no fun to live

137
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 5: in a hotel all year, and that's what those guys

138
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: have been doing, so, you know, no family around. It

139
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: would be fun for them to get down to the

140
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: beach and hang out. And you know, we had fun.

141
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: I had to wake them up a little earlier, so

142
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: I got to have a little more time. You know,

143
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: get down the bees, hang out. We'll grab some breakfast.

144
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 5: But you know, when you're twenty five, you just sleep

145
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: till noon every day. So but it was it was

146
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 5: good to happen around and I think they appreciate it.

147
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: And it was fun for me too.

148
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: They said you would wait up for them because you

149
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: would get home before before they got back from the stadium,

150
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: So you were waiting up for them.

151
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just like the that was like the room dad,

152
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 5: you know, make sure they get home okay, and you know,

153

00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: was all about back in two thousand and nine for

160
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: you guys to have this type of lead. Do you

161
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: feel like you you guys are in a good position

162
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: to close this out tomorrow?

163
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 6: Yeah?

164
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: I mean we should great. I mean we got Yama

165
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 5: on the mound at our in Dodger Stadium. You know

166
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 5: that's been a pretty good recipe before us this season.

167
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, it's a short series, five game series,

168
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 5: so you know, they they somehow win a game, it

169
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 5: gets quick, it gets uh, it gets close fast. So

170
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 5: we gotta, uh, we gotta make sure not to let

171
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 5: up at all tomorrow and try to close this thing

172
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 5: out in three.

173
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: I know we've talked about this before. Is Yama Moto

174
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: and Blake Snell maybe two of the most underappreciated guys

175
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: out there, Clayton, because it seems like a lot of

176
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: other pitchers get the attention, but they've been such a

177
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: big part of the rotation for you Yama all year

178
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: and Snell since he came back from the I L.

179
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Yama, Yama's going to be second in

180
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: the cy Young, you know, and I think if it

181
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: wasn't for Paul Skans. You know, he's he's a cy

182
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: Young winner, So for for him to do what he

183
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 5: did all season, and you know, I don't know about

184
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 5: what other people think about appreciated or underappreciated or whatever,

185
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 5: but on our team, you know, those two guys have

186
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 5: been unbelievable for us. And you know, Blake, we've all

187
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 5: known he's one of the best in the game. You know,

188
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 5: obviously he was hurt a lot this year, but he

189
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 5: is a two time cy Young Award winner. You know,

190
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: he's he's pretty solid and man, he stepped up in

191
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: a big way yesterday in Philly, and he just seems to,

192
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 5: you know, bring out the best when it's a big

193
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 5: moment for him. So huge for both of those guys. Obviously,

194
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 5: we got show, Hey, we got Glass, We got a

195
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 5: lot of guys throwing the ball really well. So it's

196
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 5: a it's a fun time to be on the Dodger

197
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 5: staff right now.

198
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: When you're in the bullpen. Roki Sasaki obviously new to

199
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 1: that bullpen. What's his demeanor like? And I mean it's

200
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: been incredible to see his transformation from the last time

201
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: we saw him to be this, this killer in the

202
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: ninth inning.

203
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: He's been great, man.

204
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 6: You know.

205
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: I think he's probably learning the bullten on the fly too,

206
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: just like some of us. And he's handling it super well.

207
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 5: You know, I think he would tell you that he's

208
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 5: got some nerves with it, but uh, he's keeping it

209
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: under control. He's handling it well. And I think the

210
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: greatest thing he's just coming in and attacking hitters, coming

211
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 5: right at guys and getting the head, throwing a hundred

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 5: right by guys, and then it really sets up his split,

213
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 5: which is, uh, you know, if he if he's able

214
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 5: to throw that and get ahead of guys and be

215
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: able to throw that split, it's going to be pretty

216
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 5: much impossible because that thing is special, so obviously we

217
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 5: need it. It's fun to see him out there, and

218
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 5: you got to give him a lot of credit. You know,

219
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 5: it's been a hard year for him and for him

220
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 5: to just learn the bullpen like this on the fly

221
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden start closing games for US

222
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 5: is super impressive.

223
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: What do you think it is with the newer generation

224
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: of pictures. Do you feel like confidence comes from the

225
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: velocity or do you feel like their confidence is predetermines

226
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: how they're going to pitch and and be able to

227
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: throw one hundred miles an hour. Do you feel like

228
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: pictures today need to throw that hard to have confidence

229
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: on the mound.

230
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 5: Chicken or the egg Dave? You know, I don't know,

231
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: you know, I think I mean, honestly, it's confidence first.

232
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of guys that throw a

233
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 5: hundred out there that aren't confident to get whacked around

234
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 5: out there, you know, So you know, it obviously takes

235
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 5: a little bit of success at times, but sometimes it

236
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: takes a mind shift. Sometimes it takes a role shift

237
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 5: like starter a bullpen. I don't know, but younger generation,

238
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 5: older generation, it's all about how you mentally prepare and

239
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: how confident you are, and whether you throw ninety or

240
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 5: one hundred. What's in between the years?

241
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: Usually as a separator, Clayton kersh eyes our guest before

242
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: I let you go, Clayton, everybody's still talking about that

243
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: wheel play in the ninth innc. I mean that's not

244
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: something that you see a lot. You don't see teams

245
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: bunt as much as they used to. Oh what was

246
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: your vantage point in? I mean, are you what does

247
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: that say about Mookie Betts? Now is a shortstop to

248
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: be so forceful to insist on, you know, being ready

249
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: for that type of play?

250
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the wheel play is typically with runners

251
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 5: on first and second right, So I don't know if

252
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 5: that's ever really been a thing. Is like a wheel

253
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 5: play was just a runner on second base because the

254
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: runner can stop and then you're kind of screwed, you know.

255
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 5: So I think with all that into consideration and knowing

256
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 5: how important that run was pretty amazing and obviously a

257
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 5: lot of things had to go right. But yeah, like

258
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 5: you said, Mooki's kind of takeing ownership of that infield.

259
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 5: You know, he's been a goal glove shortstop. He might

260
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 5: even win the Gold Glove this year, which is pretty

261
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 5: amazing when you think about it. And so for him

262
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 5: to do that, get to get the infield in order

263
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 5: months to execute it, him to get the tag down. Obviously,

264
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 5: it was the play of the game, and you just

265
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: you need that stuff in the postseason. You need guys

266
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 5: to come up huge, and that was one of those

267
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: moments right there.

268
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for calling in. Looking forward to more

269

272
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,640

Speaker 8: perfession Rick.

294
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 7: Munday, absolute gutsy play by Max Munsey. He had his

295
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 7: body in position to begin with. I think the Phillies

296
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 7: gonna challenge this, have really nothing to lose to challenge it.

297
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 7: And Mookie Betts stood his ground because Bets he got

298
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 7: knocked over on that tag, but for months he the

299
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 7: good throat of Bets. Bets got there in time, and

300
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 7: what an athletic catching tag by Mookie Betts. Terrific play

301
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 7: on the fundamentals of the game in the ninth and again.

302
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: Play of the game last night to help the Dodgers

303

Speaker 1: an off day Dodger talk. The team landed at LAX

314
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: around two thirty two o'clock in the morning, and both

315
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: teams were out there today having a workout before Game three.

316
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: The Phillies, from what I gathered, actually left Philadelphia this morning,

317
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: landed and went directly to Dodger Stadium, and the Dodgers

318
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: left immediately after last night's game, got whatever rest they needed,

319
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: and were back out at Dodger Stadium around one or

320
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: two o'clock this afternoon, and the workout probably ended around

321
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: five or six o'clock tonight, or actually six or seven

322
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. Clayton Kershaw was I think he was just

323
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: about leaving Dodger Stadium or was at Dodger Stadium. So

324
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: thank you to him for calling in. Appreciated and still

325
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: waiting for him to throw a pitch in this year's postseason.

326
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Looking forward, to that. And look, you know it's a

327
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: sensitive subject right now when it comes to the Dodger relievers.

328
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: And that's a big reason why the Dodgers have turned

329
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: to Roki Sasaki, They've turned to Emmitshian, They've turned to

330
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Glass. Now it's time to turn to Clayton Kershaw.

331
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: I have no hesitations to go to Kershaw. I know,

332
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: I feel like everybody treated his last start in Seattle

333
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: like that was it. But he's got a lot left

334
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: in the tank. And one thing that you need coming

335
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen is that competitive spirit and not

336
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: being scared. And you know Kershaw will not be scared.

337
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

338
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: the phone number. By the way, tomorrow the Phillies are

339
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: going to throw Aaron Nola at the Dodgers. He has

340
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: not had a good season, he has not had a

341
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: good September, and the Phillies are still going with him

342
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: because they like what they saw in his last start.

343
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: And then from there they're bringing in Rangers Suarez. And

344
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: also a note, as far as the Phillies go, Harrison

345
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: Bader is going to be a game time decision. Remember,

346
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: he injured his groin in the first game of this series.

347
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: Was not able to start last night, but did come

348
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: off the bench as a pinch hitter. And the Phillies thing.

349
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Changing uniforms is going to change their mojo because they

350
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: have lost nine of the last eleven postseason games that

351
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: they have played. They're going to wear those throwback seventies

352
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: baby Blues and just a reminder, the last time they

353
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: were wearing those uniforms, the Dodgers beat them in the

354
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: seventy seven and seventy eight NLCS. And Steve Garvey is

355
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: going to throw out the ceremonial first pitch tomorrow night.

356
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: He was the nineteen seventy eight NLCS MVP. Eight six

357
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

358
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Jim in Menefee. You're on Dodger

359
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: Talk with David vasse Hi.

360
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 9: Jim, Hey, Dave, thank you so much for taking my call. Buddy,

361
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 9: I really loved your show. I've been following you for

362
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 9: a long time. Great show, best show on the radio.

363
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: Thank you much.

364
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 9: Yesterday, all right from me. Yesterday, there was a guy

365
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 9: that got ticked off by Blake Snell in about the

366
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 9: fifth inning. I don't know the Phillies player. But he

367
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 9: got picked off. And I'm looking at the game and

368
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 9: I'm seeing the picture used both of his disengagement, especially

369
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 9: the second one, was a really lazy throw over the

370
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 9: first basis.

371
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 4: Of man, he wasted his disengagement.

372
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 9: But if you notice he hesitated on the mound a

373
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 9: longer time than he normally does and got the guy

374
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 9: in the rundown and got him out. Do you think

375
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 9: that Blake Smail did that on purpose? Was that planned

376
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 9: or maybe just off the cuff.

377
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Well, I could tell you this, even Kershaw, I've seen

378
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: him where they manipulate the clock. They know they've got

379
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 1: a clock, and they have two disengagements to use, and

380
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: even sometimes you'll see like a fake throw, it's just

381
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: to regroup and be able to catch your breath because

382
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot of times with the pitch clock, sometimes he

383
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: could wear you out and you could get fatigued out there.

384
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: So that's a way to buy yourself some extra time

385
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: if you're a starting pitcher.

386
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 9: Okay, but did you notice he really took a long

387
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 9: pause before the next pitch and runner went knowing that

388
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 9: the two dist engagements were gone. I thought that Blake

389
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 9: every showed the close up of Blake. It looked like

390
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 9: the look on his face like I got this fool.

391
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 6: Him.

392
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

393
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean his move was great. He picked off

394
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: Marsh in that inning, and yeah, he picked off Brandon Marsh.

395
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean he had a pretty good pickoff move there,

396
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: and you know he had Trey Turner dead to rights.

397
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: If Mookie Betts is able to catch the ball that

398
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: was low and Turner in the sixth inning would have

399
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: been out. So yeah, I mean that's part of a

400
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: lefty got to have that move. Thanks for the phone call,

401
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let's go out to Manny and Guardina. You're

402
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: on Dodger Talk Live on an off day, Manny, how

403
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: you doing? Manny? What do you got? Oh many swung

404
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: and missed? I mean that I feel like Manny has

405
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: not been on his game lately. Let's go out to

406
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: Westlake Village. John. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, John?

407
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, David, great coverage is always. Uh. You know, there's

408
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 6: one thing you had a great interview on PMS on

409
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 6: Petros and Money Show today. But the question that Petro's

410
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 6: asked about Aaron Nola, I just have to disagree with

411
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 6: your answer. I think Aaron Nola. He's he's a star.

412
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 6: I mean he was hurt for three months. He had

413
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 6: a tough, uh, you know, a tough return to the mound,

414
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 6: but his last outing eight innings nine k's. The guy's

415
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 6: a clutch performer. You want Nola on the mound over

416
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 6: Suarez for sure if you're Affilly. And the last time

417
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 6: that Philly was at Dodgers Stadium, I think they won three,

418
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 6: you know, three out of four or two out of

419
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 6: three or whatever. They three they killed the Dodgers. Yeah, three.

420
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 6: Hold on, John, Dodgers.

421
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: John, let's talk about Aaron Nola. Aaron Nola, I mean

422
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: outside of that one start, the last start that he made,

423
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: you kind of sound like the Phillies, by the way,

424
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: that's the whole reason why they're going with him. And

425
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: somebody even asked their manager, Rob Thompson, if Nola did

426
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: not pitch as well as he did in his last start,

427
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 1: would he even be making this start tomorrow night? And

428
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: he said, oh, I can't. He stumbled and said, I

429
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: can't answer you know, hypothetical questions, which tells me a

430
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: guy with a five ERA in the month of September

431
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: is not a sure thing. The guy that they miss

432
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: is Zach Wheeler. Sounded like you were describing Zach Wheeler

433
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: more than Aaron Nola.

434
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you have to understand the history of Nola. Listen,

435
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 6: I hope that I hope the Dodgers proved me wrong tomorrow.

436
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 6: But I think Nola sends this to you know, a

437
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 6: game four.

438
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: So why do you think that he has a six

439
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: cra in seventeen starts this year.

440
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 6: Because he's a clutch performer. Nola has been great his

441
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 6: entire career, and he's a guy you can rely on.

442
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 6: Yamamoto is amazing too. I think Yamamoto could easily outpitch

443
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 6: Nola tomorrow one hundred percent. But I don't think this.

444
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 6: I don't see sweep. The Phillies are a good team.

445
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: They are they are in Nola's LEA team, and.

446
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I think they're really good. John and close out games

447
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: are tough against good teams. But the fact is the

448
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: Phillies are being reminded constantly about their failures. And Aaron

449
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: Nola is so good that he gave up four runs

450
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: in five innings in last year's one playoff game that

451
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: he pitched against the Mets that the Phillies needed to have.

452
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: John I feel like you're giving Aaron Nola a little

453
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: bit too much credit. I don't think it's gonna go. Well.

454
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 6: Hey, I hope you're right, you know, I really do.

455
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 6: I I hope you're right. You know what I've I've

456
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 6: been so impressed by the Dodgers defense has been unbelievable

457
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 6: behind their pitching staff. It's really I mean that play

458
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 6: from Munsey to Bets, it's a classic, you know, for eternity,

459
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 6: it's one of the best plays maybe in MLB history.

460
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 6: You know, it had to be perfect, and that's what

461
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 6: they needed in the ninth inning. I mean, you know,

462
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 6: this team, it's a special team. Otani on the mound.

463
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if he strikes out four times, because

464
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 6: he's going to strike you out nine times. So it's

465
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 6: it's a special team. I hope they sweep tomorrow, but

466
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 6: I think you have to give a little bit more credit.

467
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't. I don't know the starting I

468
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: know that he's not the same guy that you're thinking about,

469
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: maybe from even last year where he made thirty three

470
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: starts and was pretty good, but he wasn't good in

471
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: the playoff game.

472
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 6: Let's make make a deal if if he has seven

473
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 6: solid or six solid innings, seven aks.

474
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take the under on seven. John, go ahead,

475
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: call me tomorrow night. I guarantee tomorrow he won't even

476
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: go six.

477
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 6: I'll call tomorrow night, and you bet it. Call you'll

478
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 6: you know.

479
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: I guarantee he won't even go sick.

480
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 6: He'll put me on.

481
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: I will put you on.

482
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 6: I mean, will Ronnie. Will Ronnie be working tomorrow?

483
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: No, no, Ronnie, don't worry about it.

484
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 6: John.

485
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: Just call back tomorrow and I can guarantee you Aaron

486
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: Nola is not going six innings tomorrow. I can guarantee it.

487
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: The Dodgers, by the way, are one of the hottest offenses.

488
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to acknowledge this either that the Dodgers have

489
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: won nine games in a row dating back to u

490
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: September twenty fourth in Arizona. The Dodgers have a nine

491
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: game winning streak. Did you know that, you and mister

492
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola, did you know that you're gonna have to

493
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: cool off a really hot team right now? And look,

494
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: I'm not the guy that's saying, oh, if the Dodgers

495
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: beat the Phillies, they're going to the World Series. I'm

496
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: not that guy. I've talked to a lot of people

497
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: that believe whoever's winning this series is going to the

498
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: World Series. I'm not one of them. I think the

499
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: Dodgers are going to have their hands full in a

500
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: seven game series against the Brewers, who beat the Dodgers

501
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: all six times this year in the regular season. Now,

502
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: I know that's a different time and place, but people

503
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: just continue to discount the Brewers, who had the best

504
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: record in baseball, who do a lot of the little

505
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: things right similar to the Dodgers last year. They don't

506
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: make mistakes on defense, they're really good at base running.

507
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: They have a really good bullpen, and the Dodgers are

508
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: going to have to dip into their bullpen to a

509
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: certain extent in a best of seven game series in

510
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: the Championship Series and if they're fortunate enough to get

511
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: to the World Series. So you know, this is a

512
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: big hurdle and it's going to help the Dodgers big

513
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: time if they can sweep the Phillies to set up

514
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: their rotation for the NLCS, which likely is going to

515
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: start in Milwaukee. I don't see the Cubs coming back.

516
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: It would be nice that the Cubs could make it

517
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: a series, but I see a Dodgers Brewers NLCS beginning

518
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: Monday in Milwaukee. Eight six six nine eight seven two

519
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: five seventy is the phone number. We're going to take

520
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: a time out here on Dodger Talk when we continue

521
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. And I do want to

522
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: get into how the Dodgers were super fortunate to win

523
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: that game. Even before the ninth inning. There was some

524
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: questionable defense last night that the Dodgers cannot repeat tomorrow

525
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: night or moving forward, Dodgers are going to sweep the

526
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: Phillies tomorrow. Be ready. First pitch at six oh eight

527
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: right here on a five to seventy LA sports.

528
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 8: Part of the miss playing right field, and the Phillies

529
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 8: scored three runs in the second inning. He can make

530
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 8: up for it with one swing. The pitch get high

531
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 8: in the air right center field, bait her on the

532
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 8: run on the warning track. He's at the wall.

533
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: It's gone.

534
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: Tayo time.

535
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 8: In game one, he flips the scoreboard with a three

536
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 8: run bomb.

537
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 7: Then all of a sudden, Citizens Bank Park resembles a library,

538
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 7: nice and quiet. Den Bo just continued to travel and travel.

539
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Te Oscar Hernandez coming up big in the first two

540
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: games of the NLDS in Philadelphia. That one the goal

541
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: I had backbreaker, three run home run in the seventh inning,

542
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers return home with a chance to close

543
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: out the Phillies tomorrow night at Dodgers Date in a

544
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: three game sweep. It will be Yoshi Yamamoto going up

545
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: against Aaron Nola and Ranger Suarez in some form or fashion.

546
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: The Phillies are gonna throw everything they have at the

547
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: Dodgers tomorrow night to try to extend this series. But Yamamoto,

548
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: you heard Kershaw say it. If it wasn't for Paul Skenes,

549
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Yamamoto would be this year's National League Cy Young Award winner.

550
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: And thank you again to Clayton Kershaw for calling in.

551
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: Thanks again to Wanderrado from the Dodgers for making that happen.

552
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

553
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: the phone number, you know. I kind of believe the

554
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Dodgers need to tighten some defense up. I was not

555
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: happy with some of the plays and lack up plays

556
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: that they made last night in Philadelphia. They were very

557
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: fortunate to come away with that win. Needless to say,

558
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: Blake Trinon not sharp last night. But the defense wasn't

559
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: sharp either. Even on the Nick Castellanos double in the

560
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: ninth inning, Tommy Edmond missed the tag where Castellanos would

561
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: have been out. He wouldn't have even been at second

562
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: base to be thrown out at third on that wheel play.

563
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: All Edmund had to do was drop the glove in

564
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: front of the base. Instead, he swipe tag missed Castanos

565
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: and that was a big miss. Tommy Edmund did not

566
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: have a great game last night. Even the bad throw

567
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: to Freddie Freeman to end the game on Trey Turner's

568
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: routine grounder. He was fortunate Freddy Freeman was his first

569
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: baseman where that ball's going into the Phillies dugout and

570
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: in the first inning, all he needed to do was

571
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: get a base sit. He struck out on three pitches

572
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: in the first inning with runners at first and third

573
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: and two outs. So you know, Tommy Edmond has come

574
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: up big for the Dodgers in the postseason. That may

575
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: have been his most disappointing game as a Dodger in

576
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: the postseason. I don't expect that to repeat it. Andy Pahez,

577
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: who has fallen in love with throwing out runners, he

578
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: had a misplaying the eighth inning on Mex Kepler's triple

579
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: no need in right field to try to throw out Kepler.

580
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: He picked up his head and the ball went to

581
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: the wall behind him, and Kepler was at third base

582
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: for the first run. And Miguel Rojas almost cost the

583
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: Dodgers in the third inning. He was playing deep on

584
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: the edge of the dirt at third base. Alec Bohm

585
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: hits a ground ball to him, hard hit ground ball.

586
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: All he needs to do is throw it across the diamond.

587
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't played a lot of third base. Instead,

588
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: he tried to beat Trey Turner to third base, and

589
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: it may have cost him the rest of the series

590
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: because Dave Roberts said, Miguel Rojas now is nursing a

591
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: left hamstring now on that play. After that play, he

592
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: was fortunate he beat Turner by this much, but he

593
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: came away with it thirty six years old, with a

594
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: strain left hamstring and is not going to be in

595
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: the lineup tomorrow. So that was almost a very costly mistake,

596
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: and he admitted that after the game. But he's thirty

597
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: six years old. I mean, he's been a big part

598
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers this year and hopefully he'll be ready

599
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: to go for the NLCS. And you know, the Dodgers

600
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: saved themselves with that wheel play, or you would have

601
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: just gave them an F on defense last night. Eight

602
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 1: six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the

603
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: phone number. Let's go out to Londale. Jose. You're on

Speaker 4: So I really appreciate that. And also I get that

611
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: out of all the Dodger managers calling in or the

Speaker 4: French people that are always saying we we we.

613

Speaker 4: Fans. Yeah, that's right, fans, watch the show, enjoy it.

615
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: When we win, celebrate if we lose, the sun will

616
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: come up tomorrow. I think the Dodgers just need to

617
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 4: play tomorrow like they're down to nothing and that will

618
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: be okay. They'll be okay.

619
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you have that urgency close them out, don't

620
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: you don't want to give them air. You want to

621
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: put them away. Tomorrow night at Dodgers Stadium, you do

622
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 1: not want to give them air. And if there is

623
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: a Game four, you would have Tyler glass Now starting

624
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: that game. How sweet would it be if the Dodgers

625
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: win tomorrow and then you have uh Otani fresh ready

626
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: to go. And look, the Dodgers aren't going to tip

627
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: their hands, but if they have the lead in the

628
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: ninth inning tomorrow night, I would say it's on the

629
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: table that show. Hey, Otani closes out that game because

630
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't need him until Game two of the NLCS.

631
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: Blake SNeW would be on regular if not an extra

632
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: day of rest for Game one on Monday. After pitching

633
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: last night in Philadelphia. You can have Otani close out

634
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night and be ready to start Game two of

635
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: the NLCS, and then you come back home and have

636
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Yamamoto and Glass now And that would allow the Dodgers

637
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: to deploy glass Now out of the bullpen again in

638
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: one of the first two games of the NLCS. So

639
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers to be set up perfectly and be

640
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: able to use their starters, Sheehan and glass Now out

641
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: of the bullpen in Milwaukee, which I believe is going

642
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: to happen. I'm sorry, Justin Turner. I don't see the

643
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: Cubs coming back to win the NLDS over there. But

644
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: winning tomorrow night is not just about closing any hopes

645
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: for the Phillies to come back in this series and

646
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: force a Game five, but also set you up perfectly

647
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: to be in a position to win the NLCS against

648
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: maybe the most overlooked opponent in the Milwaukee Brewers. I know,

649
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: I know they got to win one more game, but

650
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening. Eight six, six nine

651
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 1: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Don't forget.

652
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: Game three of the NLDS is tomorrow night at six

653
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: to eight. If there is a Game four, which I

654
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: don't believe there will be, but if there is, first

655
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: pitch at three to zero eight, all right, let's try

656
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: our guy, Manny and Guardena. I like this guy too

657
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: much to shut him out after not being there being ready,

658
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean, many, you gotta be ready. You gotta be

659
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: ready in during playoff time.

660
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 10: My bad, my bad, A days you know, just wanted

661
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 10: to command you on an excellent show as usual, bringing

662
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 10: Kershaw to talk to the Dodgers fam base.

663
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 11: And uh yeah, I'm with you, man. You know, while

664
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 11: we need to be happy and see how well this

665
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 11: team comes together, they're playing like a family, but at

666
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 11: times they are very sloppy, you know, the defense rearing

667
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 11: its odd of the head, the bullpen throwing up you know,

668
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 11: blue tips with the gas can instead of putting out

669
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 11: the fire, and just so it's tough. But one thing, man,

670
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 11: we got to give credit to Doc Roberts and Freedmen

671
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 11: and all the guys that have been selected, you know

672
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 11: that got their name called on these rosters because again, man,

673
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 11: even though they've had their hiccups, they have shown the

674
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 11: heart of a champion. And I love what I see

675
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 11: in this team. They're gelling at the right time, like

676
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 11: you've been saying, you know, the nine grade straight winning streak,

677
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 11: and it's going to continue.

678
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 3: Man.

679
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 10: I really think that this Dodger team is just the

680
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 10: best as far as when it comes to crunch time,

681
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 10: Milwaukee looks good. They had our number during the year,

682
00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 10: but let's see if they could do it right now,

683
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 10: because I know the boys are going to show up

684
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 10: back to back world champions. Baby God, Dodgers, all.

685
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: Right, Mannie, Thank you for the phone call closing it out.

686
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,959
Speaker 1: Strong love hearing that. And look, the Dodgers have more

687
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: talent than any other team in baseball that is still

688
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: left in the postseason. But what the Brewers do so

689
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: well is they execute. That's what they do. They execute,

690
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: and they don't make mistakes. And they've got no pressure

691
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: on them. Nobody is still buying the Brewers despite them

692
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: having the best record in the National League this year.

693
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: And speaking of the postseason picture, the Mariners beat the

694
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: Tigers and Jack Flaherty tonight to take a two games

695
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: to one lead in that ALDS matchup. The Mariners beat

696
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: the Tigers eight to four. Jack Flerity started that game

697
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: for Detroit. And how about the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.

698
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: They were down six to one in the third inning,

699
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: and the Yankees have come back and they now have

700
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: a nine nined a sixth lead in the seventh inning

701
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: over the Blue Jays. So they're trying to stay alive.

702
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 1: If they lose this game, they are done. The Blue

703
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: Jays have a two games to nothing lead in that

704
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: ALDS series. One other thing to keep in mind about

705
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: this matchup between the Dodgers and Phillies. Two of the

706
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: best slugging teams in the National League this year and

707
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball is we've only seen one home run

708
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: from these two teams, and that one was from te

709
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez in Game one of the series. Haven't seen

710
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: a home run since then. And Dodgers Stadium growing up,

711
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: if you've been a Dodger fan for a long time,

712
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: you've known that Dodger Stadium has long been held as

713
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: a pitchers ballpark, keeps the ball inside the ballpark. Back

714
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: in the day before the renovations and adding extra seats,

715
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: there was a lot of foul territories, so that also

716
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: made it a pitcher's ballpark. But since the there's not

717
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: a lot of foul territory behind home played and down

718
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: the lines, it's given hitters new life and all of

719
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: a sudden, I remember Don Mattingly talking about this in

720
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, that Dodgers Stadium all of a sudden was

721
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: a hitters ballpark and the ball was flying. There was

722
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: no more you know, marine layer in April and around

723
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: this time in October, and interesting enough, Mike Petriello from

724
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: MLB dot Com brought this up. And it's something that

725
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: everybody's aware of but didn't have the exact number until

726
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: today that eighty nine more home runs were hit in

727
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 1: Dodger home games than in Dodger road games. And that's

728
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: combined between both teams. So tomorrow night, if today's weather

729
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: was any indication, the ball is going to be flying.

730
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: And really, whoever outslugs the other team is probably going

731
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: to win Tomorrow Night's game. And I have a feeling

732
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: that Dodgers are going want to hit at least two

733
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: home runs tomorrow night against Aaron Nola and Ranger Suarez.

734
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Eagle Rock. Emilio, you're on Dodger

735
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: Talk with David VASEI Hi, Emilio.

736
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 9: Full it's up, David.

737
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 12: How's it going, man?

738
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: Great? How are you?

739
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 6: I'm doing well.

740
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 12: I'm doing well man. So I just wanted to say, Man,

741
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 12: the Phillies fans think that they're loud, wait till they

742
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 12: come to Dodgers Stadium. I live in Eagle Rock, and

743
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 12: I swear I feel like I can hear the crowd

744
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 12: when it's a home game. But yeah, I can't wait

745
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 12: for tomorrow. I hope we close it out. I got

746
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 12: a lot of respect for the Brewers if we do

747
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 12: face them. I know we will.

748
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 6: I went to.

749
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 3: The stadium earlier this year and it's a beautiful stadium.

750
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: You know, the fans are always engaged, but there's nothing

751
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 3: like that Dodger blue, that love that we got for

752
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: La Baby. But just wanted to show some love and

753
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 3: I hope we close it out tomorrow. You think we

754
00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 3: got it tomorrow?

755
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 5: What do you think do I.

756
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: Think the Dodgers got it tomorrow. I think there's a

757
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on the Phillies. Their offense has not

758
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: woken up in this series. It hasn't been good in

759
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: the postseason, and the Dodgers have got Yamamoto on the mound.

760
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: I think everybody's got to recognize that the Phillies are

761
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: not looking forward to facing Yamamoto after facing Otani and

762
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: Snell to keep their season alive. He's going to set

763
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: the tone early.

764
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, I love that.

765
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 2: Man.

766
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 12: Hey, thanks for the time and go Dodgers.

767
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, Emilio, thank you for the phone call. And yeah,

768
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: I heard Milwaukee's got a pretty good slide out there

769
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 1: as well. You know that's part of the charm. All right.

770
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: That'll do it for us on Dodger Talk tonight. Thanks

771
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: to Ronnie Fossio for his help, and thank you again

772
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: to Clayton Kershaw for calling in. In case you missed

773
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: that conversation, you can find it on the iHeartRadio app.

774
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: Don't forget. Oh it's up now, It's ready to go,
