WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (4-5-26) 

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.080

<v Speaker 2>you're in the South Bay.

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.760

<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being with us. No matter where you may be.

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Hope you're enjoying your Easter Sunday and certainly enjoying a

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers win eight to six over the Washington Nationals. Rookie

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Sasaki had a rough day. The Dodgers six to one,

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 2>scores seven unanswered runs to get the victory. Today I

0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 2>said it to Jose and the Clubhouse show. I'm gonna

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>repeat it, and this is not gonna be the last

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>time I say it. I'm sure we're gonna be talking

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>about it and saying this all season long. This Dodgers lineup,

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>when they get going, it is like a freight train.

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>It is hard to stop.

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>And the prime example is what the Dodgers were able

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to do after Dalton Rushing's home run the sixth inning,

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 2>gave him a little life, cut into a six to

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 2>one deficit, made it a six to three game. In

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the eighth inning against the reliever Perez, Freddie Freeman singles

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 2>to right, pa Has doubles to left. Alex call not

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 2>asked to go up there and hit a three run

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 2>home run. Just move the line, keep it going, draws

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 2>a four pitch walk. Espinal comes up, not asking you

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>to club it up and hit the driver four hundred feet.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Huh huh. Just move the line.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Single decent score, two runs, keep the line moving. Will

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Smith comes up as a pinch hitter, draws a walk.

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Pitching change.

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Tucker Dodgers down six to five, don't need a

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.320
<v Speaker 2>grand slam, don't certainly want a double playball, but grounds

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>into a fielder's choice, tying run comes in. Then show

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>hey Otani with only one out, sack fly, the loft,

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>go ahead run comes in. The line just keeps moving,

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 2>The offense just keeps going. The depth of this team

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and what they can do to an opposing pitcher or

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>bullpen is scary.

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>That's how good they are.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 2>And so when we talked about the first home stand

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>in which the top four hitters of the Dodgers weren't

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>doing anything, all hitting below one seventy five, it wasn't

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna be that way all season long. Is andony Pia

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>is gonna hit five hundred all year? No, the numbers

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>are gonna level out. But certainly he's off to a

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>great start, and the Dodgers win clicking. And when the

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 2>big four are producing, you know, Tani's hitting home runs

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and Freddie Freeman's guys and get in on base, and

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 2>then you add in the bottom of the lineup.

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Look out. This is why a team down six.

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>To one, you can't say, all right, all right, fold

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 2>up the tents, let's pack it up, and let's head

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>to Toronto so we can make our dinner reservation tonight.

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>It was good.

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll take two to three we'll settle for that. Let's

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>go to the north of the border. Though they got fight,

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>it's never a team that's out. Even though they're down

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 2>six to one, they make it a six to three

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>game in the six and then they just chip away

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>at you and they just tack on runs and then

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 2>they take the lead and then Taskar Hernandez with the

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 2>run home run.

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>The ninth in.

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>It's just how good this team is, how talented this

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 2>lineup is even a lineup today. Dodger fans who many

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>of you and I heard from a free people text

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>to me saying what lineup is Dave Roberts thrown out

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>there today? No Will Smith, no Kyle Tucker, no Max Munsey,

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>all three scheduled day offs, and the injury to Mookie

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Betts placed on the il before the game. Four starters

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 2>not in the lineup today, doesn't matter. Santiago Espinal, Alex Call,

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Frielan, Miguel Rojas, Dalton rushing when their numbers called.

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>They are coming through and performing. And it's not just

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>home runs. It's not coming through with four for five days.

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just producing and doing the little things to help

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this Dodgers team win and That's exactly what helped happened today.

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>It was a thing of beauty to watch the Dodgers

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>what they did in the eighth inning, and to see

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 2>that engine start with the Freddie Freeman single. The pot

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.719
<v Speaker 2>has double. You could just feel it. It's building. It's

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 2>like a snowball rolling downhill. There's no way to stop it.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>And they scored four runs on three hits, a couple

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of walks in there, get back and take the lead

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and go on to win the game. Now, Roki Sasaki

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>pitched well early on. It was getting swinging missus. Had

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.559
<v Speaker 2>some strikeouts on the slider, which he is now incorporating more.

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>He had the fourth ball or splitter, whatever you want

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 2>to call it, getting bite on it and getting swings

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 2>and misses. Now, when you leave the ball up on

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>his split finger, it's gonna get hit hard because they're

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 2>basically throwing an eighty eight mile an hour pitch over

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the heart of the plate. Luis Garcia tagged him for

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 2>a two run home run the third on a mistake.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>In the fourth inning, it was his own.

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Doing control issues, a walk, then a strikeout and with

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 2>two outs, Hey, the baseball God's just not with Sazaki.

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 2>On this play, a ball hit by caber Luiz hits

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>the first base bag, goes up in the air over

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>six foot six Freddie Freeman's extended glove in down the

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>right field line to score a run.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, there's nothing you could do about that.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>That should be ground ball, third out of the inning,

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>still a two to one game. Instead, Ruiz gets to

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>single off of it, and then what happens? Another single

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and then a three run home run on a splitter

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 2>left up on an two pitch from James Wood makes

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 2>it a six to one game. Baseball can change quickly.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers flipped it their direction in the eighth inning, scoring

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>four runs like they did the same thing happened to

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>them though in Roki Susaki on a two out ground

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>ball that hits the first base back.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding me?

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Of all the things the baseball gods are gonna do

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>is have the ball hit the bag and go up

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and over like ski ball, up and over Freddie Freeman

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.239
<v Speaker 2>into den right field, down the line. Just a freak

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 2>playing baseball you don't see very often. And it happened

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.679
<v Speaker 2>today to the Dodgers, and it ended up costing them

0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 2>with a big inning from the Washington Nationals. As it is,

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers just too good. They come back and they

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 2>win the game. Eight to six, eight six six, nine

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two. Five to seventy is the number. The

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>spring racing season is here. Yesterday you had this Santa

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.240

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>jer in mid June. Find out more at Santa Anita

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 2>dot com slash Events. Let's go to Bob, who was

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>actually north of the border in Toronto where the Dodgers

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>are getting ready to ahead. I would return to the

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.559
<v Speaker 2>scene of the crime where the Dodgers won the World

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Series last year. Bob, how you doing, Welcome to Dodger Talk.

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Doing great and great to talk with you again. Yeah,

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 4>My wife and I got into town on Friday night

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 4>and have had an absolutely wonderful time. Toronto is a

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 4>great city. People have been exceptionally nice to us, and

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 4>we've watched the World Series games over and over and

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 4>over again, and so we thought we would be here

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 4>for the first of the three game series. The one

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 4>caveats everything is we went out to dinner pretty late

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 4>on Friday night. She had her Dodgers sweashed on I

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 4>had my Dodgers hat on and I noticed a table

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 4>next to us of six people staring and pointing at us.

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 4>And I called my weight over and said, those guys

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 4>looking at me, and he goes, yeah, it's your hat,

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 4>and I go, I had a little trouble serving you

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 4>as well. So I think they're still a little testing

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 4>about the World Series. But looking forward to the game

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 4>to brow.

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Bob, appreciate the phone call. Be safe up

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>there north of the border, and represent the Dodgers tomorrow

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>at the Rogers Center. That's not surprising. Rick Monday talks

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 2>about it, how he's not welcome in Montreal after the

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Blue Monday home run in Game five of the NLCS

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 2>back in nineteen eighty one to beat the Montreal Expos. Yeah,

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff happens when you break the hearts

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>of a fan base, like the Dodgers did to the

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Toronto Blue Jays last November. First, This kind of stuff happens,

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.800
<v Speaker 2>and fans don't forget. They won't forget in ten years

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 2>or twenty years, and certainly they haven't forgotten what six

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 2>months ago when the Dodgers won Game seven and extra innings.

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers baseball is brought to you by Medello Midello The

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:56.760

<v Speaker 5>And I know it's not about your team as about

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.720

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 5>And the dog has been doing fun mom Ando these

<v Speaker 2>heroics of Mickey Rojas and then winning an extra innings

<v Speaker 2>He's up there right now, and they're not liking Dodger fans,

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 2>and certainly they're not gonna be too happy to see

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers the next three days.

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.960

<v Speaker 2>on Dodgers Talk.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 3>How you doing?

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Maxwell?

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 6>Hate Tim? How are you doing?

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing good.

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Feeling a lot better after that four run eighth inning

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.439
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers comfort behind win. I don't like these

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 2>comfery behind wins. I like them to jump out to

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>a lead and make it a little easier.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 6>How impressive was that sweep in Washington, MD? You think

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 6>it says more about the offense clicking or the team's

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:50.839
<v Speaker 6>overall death.

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a great point. You bring up the

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>D word, Maxwell, I appreciate it.

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Depth.

0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.600
<v Speaker 2>This Dodgers team has depth, and today was a prime

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.000
<v Speaker 2>exam of it. You know, ninth game of this season,

0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts goes on the injured list. It's a day

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>off scheduled for three other starters, Will Smith, Kyle Tucker,

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and Max Muncy. That means four guys in the lineup

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>today are your non everyday players, but guys who are

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna get a lot of playing time. The Alex calls

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the Dalton Rushings, the Santiago Espinals, Kyle Frielan's getting a

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of opportunity. And today because of the Mookie Bets

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 2>injury and because Hayson Kim was getting there this morning

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 2>from Triple A. You saw Rojas and Freeland up the

0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 2>middle together playing in this same game. It was one

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of those days where you're like, Okay, this is a

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team. Let's see what the other guys can do.

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 2>And we saw exactly what they can do. They could

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 2>hit home runs like a Dalton rushing. They can do

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>like Alex called it, and get on base four times.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 2>They could do like Santiago Espinal and you know, base

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>hit the left center field with the bases loaded and

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>extend that eighth inning.

0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a this is.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Just a deep, deep Dodgers team. And we mentioned it

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 2>with Jose. You take it to the pitching side of

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>things and how deep this Dodger's bullpen is.

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>You cannot say it enough.

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Having Edwin Diaz, having a closer in general like a

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Kelly Jansen for so many years, right, and Eric Gagne

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.960
<v Speaker 2>for so many years. Having a guy you can go

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.520
<v Speaker 2>to as that guy to get the final three outs,

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 2>like today with Edwin Diaz, it makes what you do

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>before that a lot easier for a manager and a

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>pitching coach and a coaching staff to come together with

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 2>a plan. How are we gonna How are we gonna

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 2>get twenty seven outs?

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 6>All right?

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, our starter win five innings today, put us in

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 2>a hole, give up six runs. Okay, So now we're

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>responsible for the final four innings the bullpen. Those are

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 2>the final twelve outs. How are we gonna get those

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 2>twelve outs? Well, you piece it together with Alex Vesi

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 2>again three Jack Dryer comes in against three Tanner Scott's

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 2>responsible for three innings. In the eighth innings, there's nine

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>out and all of a sudden, during that time, you've

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.680
<v Speaker 2>retaken the lead. Okay, So now we're going to our closer.

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.439
<v Speaker 2>This is the ideal situation. A starter that can go

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:18.839
<v Speaker 2>five and you can piece it together for nine outs

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to get to that closer for the final three. I mean,

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 2>you ask any manager in baseball. I mean this is

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>from the beginning of time. That's how you'd like to

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 2>draw it up ideally, and the Dodgers today, thankfully, we're

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 2>able to score those four runs in the eighth, tacking

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 2>of one more in the ninth is the two run lead,

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 2>and Edwin Diaz comes in and did what Edwin Diaz

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>is doing, getting saves, getting strikeouts, getting ground ball outs,

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>getting the fly ball d in the game and a

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>one two three ninth inning for Edwin Diaz and the

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers get the sweep in Washington, d C. We're gonna

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>have Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck tomorrow at three o'clock Pacific,

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 2>first pitch at four oh seven from Toronto, Canada. I'm

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 2>starting to get excited at you know, we've been talking

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 2>about it, Rick and Steven, We're talking about it all

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 2>weekend long, anticipating what it's going to be like to

0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.240
<v Speaker 2>go back to Toronto. You've heard some of the players

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>talk about it, but nobody wants to get ahead of themselves.

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, baseball is all about living in the moment,

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>playing that game's day. But now that they get the

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>three games sweep in Washington DC behind them, they can

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 2>look now to north of the border, the Toronto and

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 2>it'll be interesting to see how they are welcomed and

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 2>treated in Toronto.

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Over the next three days.

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Does it start with a long time getting through customs.

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.240

<v Speaker 2>Remember David Bassa mentioned it during rain delay Dodger Talk earlier.

0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 2>The last time Otani started in Toronto didn't go well,

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>did not go well for him, so you know he's

0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>wanting to go back out there, and even in a

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.360
