Speaker 1: They say, the hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.
Speaker 3: It's winning it again.
Speaker 2: This Yearing is not trying to win a championship, They're
Speaker 2: trying to repeat.
Speaker 1: It's October baseball for your World champion in La Dodger.
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty five Dodgers are the National League's Western
Speaker 4: Division champions.
Speaker 1: And you know what that means.
Speaker 3: Saxon Kates and AM is back.

Speaker 1: and former World Champion Dodger Steve Sacks.
Speaker 5: Reacting, taking your phone calls, talking Dodgers playoff baseball all
Speaker 5: postseason long.
Speaker 1: Now Here they are on AM five to seventy LA
Speaker 1: Sports and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Steve Sacks, Tim Kaits, Tim.
Speaker 1: Kates and World Champion Dodger Steve Sacks.
Speaker 5: Ah.

Speaker 5: Jays Game one of the twenty twenty five World.
Speaker 3: Series from the field of the work side.
Speaker 5: Strous hours our World Series coverage right here on your
Speaker 5: Home of the Dodgers A and five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 5: Game one tonight, five OHO eight. First pitch from the
Speaker 5: Galpu Motors broadcast booth. We have Dodgers on deck. Started
Speaker 5: at four o'clock blakesnew Trey Sevitch, the pitching matchup coming
Speaker 5: up at the bottom of the hour. Our Dodger insider
Speaker 5: David Vase will join us from Toronto Saxy. Again the
Speaker 5: big news the roster is out. No Tanner Scott coming
Speaker 5: out of the bullpen. They ext go with Will Klein,
Speaker 5: who with the right hander will be out there in
Speaker 5: place of Tanner Scott. And again no Alex Vessia on
Speaker 5: this Dodger World Series roster at least to start off with.
Speaker 5: In our thoughts and prayers with him and his family,
Speaker 5: as he is a way dealing with some family issues
Speaker 5: right now, but as promised twelve years in the Big
Speaker 5: League Saxy they call him the Mayor, one of the
Speaker 5: best hitters in his generation, part of the Cincinnati Reds
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, a three time All Star Indians, reds Pirates, Tigers,
Speaker 5: Red Sox. You see him on MLB Network. I've been
Speaker 5: watching him and Yander Alonso do great work on the
Speaker 5: MLB Network, especially with the class in session and when
Speaker 5: they're cooking things up inside the kitchen.
Speaker 3: He is the one and only.
Speaker 5: Sean Casey and he joins us here on a five
Speaker 5: seventy l a sports Sean, how you doing?
Speaker 2: What's up? Fellas? Appreciate you in true and I'm great
Speaker 2: to be on. Steve Sack has one more thing I
Speaker 2: don't have, and that's the World Championships. That would have
Speaker 2: been a lot better.
Speaker 3: What's up, Sean?
Speaker 2: Hey doing? Man?
Speaker 6: Sean?
Speaker 5: Here we are Game one, Dodgers and Blue Jays. Dodgers
Speaker 5: have been off for six days. They're ready to go.
Speaker 5: Blake Snell gets the starts. Uh, just your thoughts kind
Speaker 5: of going into this series and these two teams how
Speaker 5: they match up?
Speaker 2: I think they match up well. I mean when you watch,
Speaker 2: when you watch the Dodgers kind of run through the Brewers,
Speaker 2: I think all of us in the baseball world are like, whoa.
Speaker 2: I mean, Snell dominates Game one, you know, and then
Speaker 2: Miyamamoto comes to the complete game, and then here comes Otani,
Speaker 2: here comes Glass. Now it was just incredible. I mean
Speaker 2: they didn't really have to even use the pen and
Speaker 2: the bats were out and then Otani has that maybe
Speaker 2: the greatest game ever Game four. So I think you know,
Speaker 2: everyone remembers, you know, how good the Dodgers are. But
Speaker 2: I but I do think, you know, we got a
Speaker 2: chance to see how good the Blue Jays are. That's
Speaker 2: seven games against a tough Mariners team, against some good
Speaker 2: pitching too.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, they're just they're They're a team that really,
Speaker 2: uh you know, likes to grind out of bats. I
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a great matchup with you know,
Speaker 2: how how long can the starters go for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: with the pitch count and will the will the will
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays be able to piece together some runs
Speaker 2: that the Brewers weren't able to do.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Sean, great to be with you today. Thanks for
Speaker 8: coming on. And you know, I'm a big fan of
Speaker 8: your guys on MLB Network. I love your hitting philosophy
Speaker 8: and so you and I think the same way about that,
Speaker 8: except I couldn't go deep like you did. But you know,
Speaker 8: the Dodger philosophy here is, you know, I'm all about, Hey,
Speaker 8: get yourself a piece of dead red and don't miss it.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 8: Uh, if you go deepen account pitch or put you
Speaker 8: deep account, great, go deepen account every single time up,
Speaker 8: But don't take two cookies just to go deep in account.
Speaker 8: And I think that's kind of the philosophy of the
Speaker 8: Dodgers too. They will take you deep in the count
Speaker 8: if a pitcher puts you there, and you Savage buying
Speaker 8: large has a pinch it for the small sample size
Speaker 8: to go deep in counts. He walks almost five per
Speaker 8: game per nine innings, and you know his whip is
Speaker 8: just almost one point five, so he has he has
Speaker 8: a knack for letting people get on base.
Speaker 6: This could fit right into.
Speaker 8: The Dodgers narrative here of trying to work that guy,
Speaker 8: take him out in the deep water and drown him.
Speaker 2: No really, I mean, Steve, you're exactly right, man. I
Speaker 2: really believe in the Dodgers. I mean they put together
Speaker 2: such good at bats. I mean, yes, the team that
Speaker 2: they have is such a professional team. I mean top
Speaker 2: the bottom. You know, these guys are gonna they're gonna
Speaker 2: work it, you know. And a guy like you, Savage,
Speaker 2: he really relies on Chase on that split, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. He comes from this guy arm angle.
Speaker 2: He's trying to hit the upper rail with the heater
Speaker 2: and then he wants to wipe you out with a split.
Speaker 2: So if visually you can get him into into EU,
Speaker 2: you know, in the high leverage hitting counts. That's split,
Speaker 2: and you can neutralize that split. I mean, he's very hittable,
Speaker 2: and you know he he got into some trouble in
Speaker 2: his and in his last start I believeable was that
Speaker 2: Game six when when he got the three double plays,
Speaker 2: I mean at the bases loaded twice in those situations.
Speaker 4: Yep, got out of it with three.
Speaker 2: Double plays in the third, fourth, and fifth, but he
Speaker 2: was in trouble. So I look at the Dodger lineup.
Speaker 2: They don't let they don't let people off the hook.
Speaker 2: If you if they get traffic on the bases, they're
Speaker 2: one of the best teams in the league at cashing in.
Speaker 2: So you're right, Saxon man. If they if they can
Speaker 2: make your savage work, they could they could really put
Speaker 2: up a big ending on them.
Speaker 5: Sean has a left handed here. I've been waiting to
Speaker 5: ask you this. What have you seen from show hao
Speaker 5: Tody this post. He's the three home run game aside
Speaker 5: where he just absolutely went bonkers, but he has struggled
Speaker 5: outside of that game, making contacts, striking out a lot.
Speaker 5: What have you seen his swing that maybe he can
Speaker 5: kind of get right after that three run home.
Speaker 6: Run game, you know case.
Speaker 2: I know for me as a you know, as a
Speaker 2: left handed hitter, when I face a lot of lefty starters,
Speaker 2: there was something about if they're trying to crisscross the plate,
Speaker 2: you know they're really you know, everything's in and then
Speaker 2: trying to wipe you out with the slider away. And
Speaker 2: you know, I know for me at times, as soon
Speaker 2: as I get that front shoulder moving a little too soon,
Speaker 2: I really paid became susceptible to rightings like the sinker
Speaker 2: ball alrightis and guys that had good fastballs all of
Speaker 2: a sudden like why am I not on these guys?
Speaker 2: Like what happened? And then you look back and you go, man,
Speaker 2: I just I just face a lot of lefties and
Speaker 2: whatever series. I think when you go back to that
Speaker 2: Silly series, you know face and Suarez face and Lizardo
Speaker 2: face and Sanchez, you know, you know there's a feel
Speaker 2: that you know, Steve, there's a feel about hitting where
Speaker 2: sometimes you're a little off and you can't catch it
Speaker 2: right away. And and and I think for show, hey,
Speaker 2: it was like, man, something's off here and I and
Speaker 2: it would probably was the lefty heavy rotation and the
Speaker 2: pitches that he saw in Philly and in over one
Speaker 2: sixty two. When you struggle for a week or two,
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, I'm back, I got it. Well, you're
Speaker 2: in the postseason. He struggled, like hey, what's wrong with
Speaker 2: this guy? And I think it was a great move
Speaker 2: on his part to mix it up, get out and
Speaker 2: take batting practice, start to see flight of the ball,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden he was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I got the feel back. And then we saw what
Speaker 2: we saw in Game four, was like, oh that's I've
Speaker 2: never seen balls hit that far in La. I mean
Speaker 2: I always felt like at night in La, you know,
Speaker 2: you couldn't get it into the third row when you
Speaker 2: when you pumped on let alone hit it over the
Speaker 2: roofs and right right center field. So I think show
Speaker 2: Hay's back. I think he found a feel that he
Speaker 2: needed to find and I got a feeling he's gonna
Speaker 2: have a big World Series.
Speaker 6: Sean.
Speaker 8: I got to bring Tim into this conversation for just
Speaker 8: a second. Tim, Yes, how many times have we talked
Speaker 8: about hitting? And Sean said the operative word. He said
Speaker 8: it several times, And hitting is a feeling. It is
Speaker 8: a feeling. That's what hitting is. There's times where you
Speaker 8: can go up to the plate and you don't have
Speaker 8: to describe anything, you don't have to set it much
Speaker 8: of a game plan if you're feeling it, Sean, is
Speaker 8: this right? If you're feeling it, you can hit anybody
Speaker 8: that's throwing whatever up there. You're in that groove and
Speaker 8: if you feel it, that's all you need. Isn't that true?
Speaker 2: It's incredible, It's incredible. It's like this flow state you
Speaker 2: get into, and you know, you get into, you know
Speaker 2: nothing better when you you pump one into the seats
Speaker 2: and you come back and your teammates are like, what
Speaker 2: did you see there? Are like, I have no idea,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just thought I just saw. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it was a heater, a change up,
Speaker 2: a slider, I don't know. But I'm feeling. I'm feeling something.
Speaker 2: You could you could throw a beat, you could throw
Speaker 2: a throw a BB gone up here about one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty miles an hour, and I cover it right.
Speaker 8: Now, exactly exactly right, Tim. It's it's amazing, Sean. And
Speaker 8: I I mean I could sit and talk hitting with
Speaker 8: Sean for for five hours, I'm sure, And and we're
Speaker 8: gonna use this same words, Sean and I don't sit
Speaker 8: on a bench and talk about hitting. But I'll bet
Speaker 8: you we grew up in a different time been played.
Speaker 8: I'll bet you we'd be using the same words and
Speaker 8: the same approach and the same philosophy on what it
Speaker 8: takes to be a good hitter. You talk about guys
Speaker 8: across a spectrum, Sean, and I hear you talk on
Speaker 8: TV all the time, and I said, Damn, that's exactly
Speaker 8: what I would say if I was on there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think sometimes I think, and nowadays
Speaker 2: in this era of analytics and all this stuff and
Speaker 2: wanting to get in the cages and to look at
Speaker 2: biomechanics and look at these force plates and all these
Speaker 2: different things. That's all great, But at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, when I'm in the batter's box, I gotta
Speaker 2: be able to slow my heart rate. I got to
Speaker 2: be able to slow down, turn my vision on. I
Speaker 2: got to hunt the fastball or whatever out over plate
Speaker 2: that I have to have a simple game plan to
Speaker 2: go out and execute against guys that are throwing ninety
Speaker 2: seven one hundred and three miles an hour, like I
Speaker 2: gotta be able to simplify and I think for me,
Speaker 2: you know, and you probably feel the same way. Steve.
Speaker 2: Is that like when I was at my best, I
Speaker 2: was as simple as I can be when I when
Speaker 2: I got in trouble, I was thinking about two three
Speaker 2: mechanical things in the box and that doesn't.
Speaker 8: Work, right, Tim, I gotta tell one more when we're Sean.
Speaker 8: I had a conversation one one on one one time
Speaker 8: with Ted Williams. Okay, I'm in spring training and the
Speaker 8: splendid Splinter gave me some time and was talking to
Speaker 8: me about hitting. You know what, the most dynamic thing
Speaker 8: he said to me. He says, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 8: some advice on hitting. I'm like, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 8: e f hutting guy. I'm like, my ears got like
Speaker 8: four feet wide. And I was like, gonna listen to
Speaker 8: the to the advice from Ted Williams. He said, the
Speaker 8: most important thing in hitting get yourself a good pitch.
Speaker 6: And don't miss it. And I was like, thank you,
Speaker 6: mister Williams.
Speaker 3: Good go ahead, Tim.
Speaker 2: You're always good as the picture swing. Yeah. The only
Speaker 2: good you know, it's I love man even mention it
Speaker 2: Ted Williams and hearing advice, I mean a simple. That
Speaker 2: is I got. I got some great advice from George
Speaker 2: Blett one time sitting at the cages and I was like, Tours,
Speaker 2: you know, I was a young girl's fight twenty five
Speaker 2: at the time. He's he was a coaching with the
Speaker 2: Royals and spring training. I got him behind the cages.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not going to miss this opportunity to
Speaker 2: ask George bread a couple of questions and I was like,
Speaker 2: you know, George, what were your keys? You know, what
Speaker 2: were you thinking? He goes, I just try to be
Speaker 2: short to it, long through it. I was trying to
Speaker 2: get to it, you know, get get on top of
Speaker 2: the ball, you know, back spin it, stay on it
Speaker 2: and and not rust my fall through. So short to it,
Speaker 2: long through it. Like take Ted Williams to take George Brett,
Speaker 2: get a good pisch to hit short to it, long
Speaker 2: through it, you'd probably do pretty well.
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: He is Sean Casey from the MLB Network. Check out
Speaker 5: their coverage all World Series long. It has been fantastic
Speaker 5: during the postseason, during the morning's pregame, post game, all
Speaker 5: the coverage on site in the studio has been the
Speaker 5: best this October, and Sean has been a big part
Speaker 5: of that. I'm gonna steal one of your guys' segment
Speaker 5: when you guys make a case, make a case for,
Speaker 5: make a case for who's gonna be the MVP of
Speaker 5: this world series? Outside of show hey o Tani is
Speaker 5: there is there a Dodger player you can make a
Speaker 5: case for that's just gonna rise to the level like
Speaker 5: if Freddie Freeman did a year ago or Tommy Edmond
Speaker 5: did in the NLCS last year.
Speaker 2: You know, I just for whatever reason, Max Mounts he
Speaker 2: always pops to my mind. I mean, he's a guy
Speaker 2: I just feel like when he gets in that groove
Speaker 2: of that of the long ball swing, he's a guy
Speaker 2: that can really do some damage on you. And he
Speaker 2: walks a lot. He's got a great approach, and now
Speaker 2: that he's got the you know, the glasses, I feel
Speaker 2: like I feel like he's gone to another level. So,
Speaker 2: you know, outside of the of the big three of
Speaker 2: a Tony Betts and Freeman. You know, I know Edmund
Speaker 2: had a great World Series last year, but Max Muntsey's
Speaker 2: a guy that I think could be end up being
Speaker 2: the World Series MVP.
Speaker 8: Sean last one for me. I wanted to ask you
Speaker 8: next year we're getting the ABS, the automatic balls and strikes.
Speaker 8: I mean, I surely hope that this one knee where
Speaker 8: the catcher goes away so the guys can shift one
Speaker 8: or two inches that way. I'm so sick of that stupid,
Speaker 8: tired way of catching. It's it's pathetic. Maybe it goes away.
Speaker 8: I sure hope it does. But what do you think
Speaker 8: about the ABS. Does this help the pitcher or does
Speaker 8: it help the hitter.
Speaker 2: I kind of like it. I actually kind of like it.
Speaker 2: I don't think too much time for the game, Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I think also it brings a new element to
Speaker 2: the stands. Maybe if it's a big moment in the
Speaker 2: ninth you still have a challenge left and it's a
Speaker 2: three two pitch to end the game and it's overturned
Speaker 2: or something, a two two pitcher whatever. I just I
Speaker 2: feel like it's I think it's going to be good
Speaker 2: for the game. And I think they've run it enough
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues, and it's spring training this year
Speaker 2: to see that the players and them and I believe
Speaker 2: even the umpires like it. So I think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be good for the game.
Speaker 3: Sean love to work on the MLB Network. You were
Speaker 3: a great player. Loved watching you play.
Speaker 5: Love you on the MLB Network even more breaking it down,
Speaker 5: having fun talking baseball. Uh, really enjoyed the time this morning.
Speaker 5: Thanks for doing it on this busy Friday leading up
Speaker 5: to Game one of the World Series.
Speaker 6: We really appreciate it. Thanks Sean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks a lot, guys. Greatest game in the world
Speaker 2: and and good lucky your Dodgers out there. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a it's a it's an historic run they've been doing.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of fun. So have a
Speaker 2: good little fellas. Thanks for having me on there.
Speaker 3: He goes the Mayor, Sean Casey.
Speaker 6: He is so good, He's I love I love talking
Speaker 6: with him. He's just he's so fun to talk to you.
Speaker 8: He's very engaging and believe me, he knows a little
Speaker 8: bit about hitting. The guy had a great, great beat
Speaker 8: in the in the box, no question about it.
Speaker 5: You can see and hear why now his nickname is
Speaker 5: the Mayor. Sure, imagine getting to first base, imagine being
Speaker 5: the first base coach as we're with the Diamondbacks and
Speaker 5: the guy is just a chatterbox. The guy is just
Speaker 5: a chatterbox all game along, talking to guys, probably asking
Speaker 5: him what they're doing for dinner, where you're going, what
Speaker 5: are you seeing?
Speaker 3: What's happening? Just so much energy. I love that guy.
Speaker 8: What's your picture? Gonna throw me next time I come up?
Speaker 8: So just tell me go ahead where nobody's gonna know.
Speaker 8: It's just and I talking to her.
Speaker 5: Thanks to the folks of the MLB Network, you can
Speaker 5: see Sean all postseason along. You can get their coverage
Speaker 5: all World series long and tim.
Speaker 8: You know what you you know what Sean's gonna tell
Speaker 8: people when he went, when he goes back to uh
Speaker 8: back East, and when when he's there on on the network.
Speaker 6: You know he's gonna say, what's this is great? He's
Speaker 6: gonna say, I was just on scam.
Speaker 3: Scam. You've been scammed, Sean Casey.
Speaker 6: That's right, he's been scammed. That's a good thing.
Speaker 5: Uh. Coming up in the bottom of the hour, David Vassa, Well,
Speaker 5: join us. We're also here from Blake Snell. Uh did
Speaker 5: we already hear from Blake Snell? I don't think, yes
Speaker 5: we did. We did hear from Blake Snell. Okay, you're right,

Speaker 5: Oh you're a man out there plowing the fields and
Speaker 5: well milking thes.
Speaker 6: Not I used to do that. I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't do that now, but I I do do
Speaker 8: a lot of planting on the I have a little
Speaker 8: bit of land in the back.
Speaker 6: I do a lot of planning. And yeah, they're perfect
Speaker 6: for that. Awesome.
Speaker 5: Let's quickly squeeze in the call before we hear from
Speaker 5: David Veasse coming up at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 5: Scott in Ontario. Thanks for being patient. Welcome to Saxon,
Speaker 5: Kate to Andy and what's on your mind this morning?
Speaker 9: Scott, Hey, good morning guys, Thanks for taking my call. Uh.
Speaker 9: First of all, I want to say, you know, my
Speaker 9: thoughts are with the Vesta family.
Speaker 7: I hope there.
Speaker 9: Everything's okay there. But the next thing I want to
Speaker 9: say is jam Uh yeah, I just thought to throw
Speaker 9: that in there.
Speaker 6: Perfect long.
Speaker 9: It's been a long week without any Dodger baseball, so
Speaker 9: I've been, you know, struggling through it. The other reason
Speaker 9: why I was calling is because I'm calling out of superstition.
Speaker 9: You guys have been nice enough to take my calls
Speaker 9: this past week, and uh, every time I call, the
Speaker 9: Dodgers win, So I'm calling out a superstition. I hope
Speaker 9: it works. I'm relieved that Will Klein is on the
Speaker 9: roster over Conner Scott. I actually was going to talk
Speaker 9: about that before he even announced the roster.
Speaker 7: So good to.
Speaker 9: See Will Klein. I don't know about Henriquez is over Casparius,
Speaker 9: but I'm okay with it. I think he's he's a
Speaker 9: flamethrower and as long as he can hit his spots
Speaker 9: and not groove one. I think we might be okay
Speaker 9: with him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, appreciate the Scott, thanks for keeping the trend going
Speaker 5: and uh yeah, we don't want to buckety trends here.
Speaker 5: So if that's your superstition and that's something that's been
Speaker 5: good luck, certainly keep calling here. On Saxon Kate's and
Speaker 5: the am real quick. I did get a teen and
Speaker 5: somebody said, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: Kate?
Speaker 5: You didn't mention Rokie on the postseason World Series roster. Okay,
Speaker 5: maybe I overlooked it. He is on the World Series roster,
Speaker 5: all right, he is on the World Series roster. I was,
Speaker 5: I was going through the starting pitching and the relievers,
Speaker 5: and maybe I left him off with my initial announcement there.
Speaker 3: But yes, Rokie is on the World Series roster.
Speaker 4: Do not.
Speaker 8: I'm glad that you cleared that up so that we
Speaker 8: don't have some people that are on the way to
Speaker 8: work and actually faint behind the wheel. So we know
Speaker 8: they're okay now right, everybody's okay.
Speaker 5: Roki is on the postseason World Series roster. However, no
Speaker 5: Tanner Scott will climb at Gardo Enriquez. Too hard throwing
Speaker 5: right handers are on this world Jim you've had.
Speaker 8: A minute to disseminate this information. Yeah, this is you know,
Speaker 8: you and me talking. Nobody else is listening. Nobody else, Oh,
Speaker 8: nobody else.
Speaker 6: Can hear this. But what do you really think about it?
Speaker 8: I give me gimme Steve and Tim having a Horton's
Speaker 8: and a cup of coffee and we're just sitting there.
Speaker 8: There's nobody else around. We're sitting like on a stump
Speaker 8: outside in Burbank and we're just you know, we're seeing
Speaker 8: the planes go back and forth in the airport where
Speaker 8: we're just having a coffee in a Horten's.
Speaker 6: What do you really think?
Speaker 5: Well, as I lean in to talk to you, Steve
Speaker 5: join my coffee and crawler kind of feels to me
Speaker 5: like Dave Roberts didn't want to put the fate of
Speaker 5: him or the Dodgers in the hand of Tanner Scott
Speaker 5: in the World Series. It feels to me like if
Speaker 5: he were and he sounds like he is healthy and
Speaker 5: good to go, the Dodgers have elected to say sit
Speaker 5: this one out Tanner.
Speaker 6: Well, also there's a lot of lefties out there already.
Speaker 5: Well, that helps, and it certainly makes the decision a
Speaker 5: lot easier because if they didn't have the four other
Speaker 5: lefties that they can use now in the World Series,
Speaker 5: we'd be having a different discussion. Tanner Scott would be
Speaker 5: on this World Series roster. But because you've got those
Speaker 5: four left handed arms already, you don't need a fifth.
Speaker 5: You can need another to neutralize this. You said, Vlad Guerrero,
Speaker 5: George Springer and that heavy right handed hitting lineup for
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays. That's why Enriquez and Kline, hard throwing
Speaker 5: righties are on this roster. But yeah, I think when
Speaker 5: it's all said and done, I have to believe Dave Roberts,
Speaker 5: this coaching staff. We're looking at the Wayne, the pros
Speaker 5: and the cons and like, I just can't.
Speaker 8: I can't Wayne, Wayne In and Wayne and stuff. You know,
Speaker 8: we haven't talked much about Alejandro Kirk. Yes, okay, now,
Speaker 8: he's definitely a threat. He's a threat. Okay, there's no
Speaker 8: question about it. I mean, we talked about Springer and Guerrero,
Speaker 8: but Alejandro threat. Alejandro Kirk is a threat.
Speaker 5: He can hit, he can hit, and he's one of
Speaker 5: those pesky little hitters. Yes, he's a guy who puts
Speaker 5: the ball in play, slaps the ball the right field
Speaker 5: puts it in the gaps.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say he's little. I'd say he's short. You
Speaker 6: can say he's little.
Speaker 3: He's little.
Speaker 8: Alejandro Kirk, Well, in one dimension he's busting at about
Speaker 8: two thirty.
Speaker 5: Well in that to mention, yees, going east and west,
Speaker 5: yeah he's not little.
Speaker 6: But you go north and south, he is not north
Speaker 6: and south.
Speaker 8: He's a little vertically challenged. But but go east and
Speaker 8: west on us. Now he's he's not little.
Speaker 5: No, no, he's he's you know, he's a great he's
Speaker 5: really he's an all star.
Speaker 6: He's a really good catcher too. He's a good player.
Speaker 5: I mean he's California to the to the to the
Speaker 5: New York, you know, east and west.
Speaker 6: He's big. Uh yeah, but he's.
Speaker 5: Not to me in that lineup, var show. These other
Speaker 5: bats are the ones that scare me. Kirk is a
Speaker 5: guy who, Yeah, I don't have a lot of fear
Speaker 5: in him.
Speaker 6: I just don't. I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't see as him as a guy that's going
Speaker 5: to be a game changer in this year. I hope
Speaker 5: I'm right. I hope it stays that way.
Speaker 8: And again best best best batting average with two strikes
Speaker 8: in the league.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, now you say that, you know, you're really
Speaker 3: freaking me out.
Speaker 6: Steve Well, I don't mean to, you know, tell you
Speaker 6: that you know something. I'm sure you already knew that.
Speaker 6: But uh yeah, best best batting average, two strikes.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean he hasn't faced smell Zilla.
Speaker 6: No, no, he hasn't, and he has to face his
Speaker 6: Dodgers bullpen.
Speaker 8: They got Alejandro Kirk at five eight, which is not true.
Speaker 8: He's five to six wow, eight two forty five.
Speaker 6: Okay, I believe that. Yeah, I believe that's pretty close.
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, five eight, I don't believe. I'll say
Speaker 5: five six two forty five.
Speaker 8: Two times Silver Slugger, I mean, one time Silver Slugger,
Speaker 8: two time All Star in just the six years.
Speaker 6: So he's he's put a stamp in there, now, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean. Yeah, he just doesn't look the part.
Speaker 6: I mean not to say he's not gonna hit a
Speaker 6: lot of.
Speaker 8: Horme runs him the most. He said it's this year
Speaker 8: he hit fifteen. Uh, but he is a you know,
Speaker 8: legitimate hitter. He hit it over two eighties. Lifetime average
Speaker 8: is about two seventy sees.
Speaker 6: He's a pretty good player.
Speaker 5: Well, they need to learn neutralize in Little Kirk Nate
Speaker 5: in Long Beach, Welcome to Saxon Kates and the Am
Speaker 5: David mat Say joins us. Coming up in less than
Speaker 5: ten minutes.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Nate.
Speaker 7: It's a beautiful day for a ball game, and I
Speaker 7: am a lifelong It's nineteen seventy seven and my dad's
Speaker 7: taken me in my first World Series game. We're in
Speaker 7: the bleachers and Catfish Hunter makes eye contact with the
Speaker 7: eleven year old me and he throws me a ball.
Speaker 10: It's not certified. It doesn't have a holographic sticker on it.
Speaker 10: It's just a ball that I had a moment with
Speaker 10: cast Fish even though I was a Tiger fans. And
Speaker 10: he threw me the ball, and it says seventy fifth
Speaker 10: World Series. Fast forward. I'm out by the seventy six lot.
Speaker 10: It's nineteen eighty eight. I'm twenty two. I buy two tickets.
Speaker 7: I trade it as I'm getting closer and closer and
Speaker 7: closer from the seventy six station out in center field,
Speaker 7: and I end up top deck, second to the top row,
Speaker 7: exactly on first base. And I that was my second
Speaker 7: World Series game, and Monday I financed you know, like
Speaker 7: eighteen hundred dollars worth of tickets to take my daughter
Speaker 7: because I told her or her birthday that we're gonna
Speaker 7: we're gonna go. She's a huge fan, she's fourteen, Zoe,
Speaker 7: and we got tickets, man, and we're going. And today
Speaker 7: is the day where you guys are at a little
Speaker 7: bit of a disadvantage because today's the fan day. Today
Speaker 7: is the day that we you know, we've been watching
Speaker 7: for hundreds of days, hundreds and hundreds of not hundreds
Speaker 7: and hundreds, but hundreds of days we watch. And that
Speaker 7: last fan, the last guy who was on and he
Speaker 7: said he's been suffering through no games the last week.
Speaker 7: We know it's coming to an end one way or another.
Speaker 7: And the fact that the Dodgers are going not just
Speaker 7: for back to back, but the storylines, the greatness that
Speaker 7: can be established by the pitchers and show hey, and
Speaker 7: it's just unbelievable where they put us. And it's a
Speaker 7: giant thank you from the Dodgers to us as fans.
Speaker 7: And you guys seen how the sausage is made. And
Speaker 7: you guys are kind of you know, in the press,
Speaker 7: but those of us who actually grew up with it.
Speaker 7: This is our day, baby, This is beautiful, beautiful day.
Speaker 3: Awesome, Well said Nate. Appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 8: Hey, Tim, Sir, I want to let Nates know something
Speaker 8: he brought up. It's a beautiful day for a ballgame.
Speaker 8: Can I tell you thirty seconds of history here?
Speaker 6: Sure? Absolutely well.
Speaker 8: This song is one that was actually written by Ruth
Speaker 8: Roberts and Bill Katz.
Speaker 6: In nineteen sixty and it's a tune.
Speaker 8: That was created for the Dodgers coinciding the opening of
Speaker 8: Dodgers Stadium in nineteen sixty two. It was performed by
Speaker 8: Harry Simeon Songsters. The song's upbeat and cheerful melody has
Speaker 8: become synonymous with the joy and excitement of attending a
Speaker 8: baseball game. The lyrics really quick, Let's go. It's a
Speaker 8: beautiful day for a ballgame, for a ballgame today, the
Speaker 8: fans are out to get a ticket or two from
Speaker 8: Walla Walla, Washington to Kalamazoo. It's a beautiful day for a.
Speaker 6: Home run, but even a triples.
Speaker 8: Okay, We're gonna cheer and boom and raise a hullabaloo
Speaker 8: at the ballgame today.
Speaker 6: So there you go. Nobody speaks like that anymore from
Speaker 6: there we go.
Speaker 8: Nobody's gonna say Hula Baloo's sick.
Speaker 7: A beautiful day.
Speaker 3: Where it is a beautiful day for a ballgame.
Speaker 5: Dodgers blue chants Game one of the World Series coming

Speaker 5: right here on AM five seventy as we lead you
Speaker 5: up to Game one tonight from the Rogers Center in Toronto.
Speaker 5: Blakes and l Treya Savage the Bitching matchup. Thanks to
Speaker 5: Sean Casey, who joined us earlier from the MLB Network.
Speaker 5: In joining us now, the Dodger insigner, the best of
Speaker 5: the best, embedded with this Dodgers team for more than
Speaker 5: a decade, The.
Speaker 6: One and only David vas A. Good morning, David, how
Speaker 6: you no, buddy?
Speaker 4: I'm doing great. It's a great day in Toronto. The
Speaker 4: city's really excited about the World Series, and I know
Speaker 4: everybody in Los Angeles feels the same.
Speaker 6: Way, no doubt, David.
Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing that has happened this morning
Speaker 5: is the rosters have both been released from the Blue
Speaker 5: Jays and the Dodgers. For Toronto Boba, Schett is back.
Speaker 5: He's on this World Series roster is for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Some interesting moves. No Michael Confordo, no Tannor Scott. An
Speaker 5: interesting decision by the Dodgers to bring in Will Klein.
Speaker 6: How about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Will Klein had trouble throwing strikes before they sent
Speaker 4: him down, and the last time he came up, I
Speaker 4: know the Dodger pitching coaches and the staff were really
Speaker 4: impressed by him. So Will Klein might be a sneaky
Speaker 4: guy coming out of the bullpen if he can continue
Speaker 4: to be that guy that impressed the pitching coaches to
Speaker 4: be able to earn this opportunity. I know he has
Speaker 4: a lot of support in the organization to even have
Speaker 4: been on the roster in the NLCS. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: it's unfortunate that Alex Vesia is not able to participate
Speaker 4: in the World Series. I was told that he's not
Speaker 4: on any special family emergency list or bereavement list. He's
Speaker 4: just off the roster, and there could be different ways
Speaker 4: to get him on if he was and his wife
Speaker 4: were in a better spot. But base is secondary right now.
Speaker 4: But yeah, that's what triggered some of these roster decisions
Speaker 4: I had of tonight's game.
Speaker 6: One interesting, David, good to be with you this morning.
Speaker 8: I want to look on the other side for a
Speaker 8: second and talk about Trey Ya Savage. I mean, you know,
Speaker 8: this guy's got great stuff, but I'm looking at those
Speaker 8: internal metrics on him, watching him pitch, watching the way
Speaker 8: he approaches hitters. He relies heavily on deception. Dodgers aren't gonna,
Speaker 8: you know, I think, play that game with him. I
Speaker 8: think if they can drag him out enough, some of
Speaker 8: those numbers will start to pop up, like his ability
Speaker 8: to walk people, his ability to have traffic. On the
Speaker 8: basis he got out of a couple of them on
Speaker 8: double plays. I think I think this is a good
Speaker 8: matchup for the Dodgers. Believe it or not, all things,
Speaker 8: you know, take it into consideration. Maybe I'm wrong, but
Speaker 8: I say I think the Dodgers can can kind of
Speaker 8: grind this guy out. I think that's going to be
Speaker 8: the philosophy, Steve.
Speaker 4: This reminds me a lot of when the Yankees were
Speaker 4: in the midd of their dynasty, winning three in a row.
Speaker 4: It felt like everybody tried to come up with some
Speaker 4: sort of reason, any little slimmer glimmer of hope that
Speaker 4: would make you believe the Yankees were going to lose
Speaker 4: a playoffs series, which it never happened. Feels the same
Speaker 4: way in this postseason. Felt that way during the NLCS
Speaker 4: and we saw the Dodgers just manhandle the Brewers. Kind
Speaker 4: of feel the same way about this World Series. Everybody
Speaker 4: is picking the Dodgers to win in six games. I
Speaker 4: don't believe it's gonna go that far. The farthest I
Speaker 4: believe this series is going a five games. But going
Speaker 4: back to tonight's starter, the one type of picture the
Speaker 4: Dodgers have had trouble with is those guys that are
Speaker 4: coming from a three quarters arm slot. Trey Savage comes
Speaker 4: very much over the top, so much so that he's
Speaker 4: been compared to Justin Verlander. The Dodgers have that special
Speaker 4: type of hitting machine where they can simulate where a
Speaker 4: pitcher's arm slot is and put that picture's image on
Speaker 4: the background of the batting cage, but they don't have
Speaker 4: that for this picture, so they've been simulating justin Erdlander
Speaker 4: because that's as close as you could get to how
Speaker 4: high his arm slot is, which means you could see
Speaker 4: the ball really well. And he has struggled with command.
Speaker 4: He has been bailed out by defense in double plays.
Speaker 4: But the Dodger offense is not the Seattle Mariners, and
Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a rough night for
Speaker 4: a rookie making the second youngest starting pitcher in World
Speaker 4: Series history against this team. Last night, Shoho Tani took
Speaker 4: batting practice on the field. We knew what happened the
Speaker 4: next game after he did that. He has stuck with
Speaker 4: that routine. I wantn't be surprised on this stage, in
Speaker 4: this city, in that stadium. Shoho Tani leads off the
Speaker 4: game with a yah yah Ooh.
Speaker 5: Love it, David, I love it. How about Blake Snell,
Speaker 5: a guy you know very well. You'd talk to us
Speaker 5: about his game one start in the NLCS and how
Speaker 5: dialed in he was, David and prepared going into that start,
Speaker 5: that start, and you saw a different look on his
Speaker 5: face that he was ready to go, and he absolutely
Speaker 5: was fantastic. What are you seeing in Blake Snell in
Speaker 5: the last twenty four hours anticipation for tonight's start.
Speaker 4: I see a guy that's locked in and hungry and
Speaker 4: even saying that he wants to get better even in
Speaker 4: this game one World Series. You don't hear pitchers say
Speaker 4: that he wants to get better for himself. He believes
Speaker 4: there's more in the tank. And this guy's pitched what
Speaker 4: fourteen fifteen consecutive scoreless innings in the postseason. You don't
Speaker 4: hear that from that type of picture. And last night
Speaker 4: we interviewed Clayton Kershaw at Media Day and he is
Speaker 4: the biggest believer in Blake Snell. And when you have
Speaker 4: that type of endorsement from that type of picture, I mean,
Speaker 4: your confidence has got to be high. And Blake's confidence
Speaker 4: is at an all time high right now. And you
Speaker 4: may not even see the best version of Blake's now
Speaker 4: before the end of this season, but that just speaks
Speaker 4: to how much he wants this and how much he's
Speaker 4: pitching through a lot of different things.
Speaker 6: That's interesting.
Speaker 8: You know the fact that we don't have Tanner Scott
Speaker 8: is not on the roster, David. You know, some questions
Speaker 8: out there are who it may be. I think given
Speaker 8: the fact that you have the three guys I think
Speaker 8: you can have to neutralize on this team is Springer,
Speaker 8: Vlade and Alejandro Kirk all three good hitters. Bashett situation
Speaker 8: is still out to question. But I think the fact
Speaker 8: that they've loaded up a little bit more on the
Speaker 8: right hand side was just a logical thing to do,
Speaker 8: and I think it's a good move by the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Dalton Varshow's basic the lefty in this
Speaker 4: lineup that if you were going to match up with,
Speaker 4: it would be him. But I really feel like we're
Speaker 4: short changing Alex Vesia when we say, oh, he was
Speaker 4: just on this roster to face the key lefty, He wasn't.
Speaker 4: He bailed out the Dodgers in every round in key
Speaker 4: innings and key situations with runners on base. He has
Speaker 4: been the highest of leverage reliever for the Dodgers this postseason.
Speaker 4: Him and Roki Sasaki have been the two most important
Speaker 4: relief pitchers for the Dodgers in this postseason. It's a
Speaker 4: huge hole to fill. Will Klimb, Tanner, Scott, name anybody
Speaker 4: they're not going to fill it. And it's a sizeable
Speaker 4: offs for the Dodgers to not have Alex Vesia, and
Speaker 4: that means they're going to have to rely a little
Speaker 4: bit more on Emmitt Shean, on Blake Trining, and there's
Speaker 4: no Alex Vesia to bail them out if they get
Speaker 4: into trouble. He's bailed both those guys out in big spots,
Speaker 4: and obviously whatever he and his wife are going through
Speaker 4: right now bigger than baseball, no doubt. But if we're
Speaker 4: just talking baseball, it doesn't matter who the Dodgers put
Speaker 4: on the roster. Yeah, they're filling the spot, but they're
Speaker 4: not feeling what Alex Bessia did. Lefties, righties, highest of leverage, firefighter.
Speaker 4: They don't have that right now.
Speaker 6: No doubt he's gonna be missed.
Speaker 5: All right, David Gray, stuff, We appreciate you joining us
Speaker 5: as always this morning. Looking forward to Game one tonight.
Speaker 5: All the coverage, of course, begins with the Morongo Casino
Speaker 5: Dodgers on deck at four o'clock, and you're gonna go
Speaker 5: one on one with Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3: Dodger fans surely looking forward to that.
Speaker 5: We'll continue to hear your voice all day long, David,
Speaker 5: thanks for joining us this morning.
Speaker 6: Thanks David.
Speaker 4: All right, guys, thank you.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 3: There he goes the one and only David vas Say,
Speaker 3: and he says, I.
Speaker 6: Just was gonna ask him.
Speaker 8: I was gonna ask him, Hey, what is the Christmas
Speaker 8: card of you and mister Snell Zilla gonna be composed around?
Speaker 8: Is it going to be like you guys at the beach.
Speaker 8: Are you guys going to be in fluffy gear, you know,
Speaker 8: in a snowsuit somewhere in the mountains?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Is it going to be shorts on the you know,
Speaker 8: near the beach at a cafe in l A. I
Speaker 8: think I don't know what the what the you know,
Speaker 8: what the construct is, but I would guess it would
Speaker 8: be something that they would probably send out and get
Speaker 8: advice from a professional, like a you know, stager to
Speaker 8: find out what they're gonna do Christmas card.
Speaker 5: I can see it now, from our family to yours,
Speaker 5: Happy Holidays, the Vassays and Blake, and it'll be a
Speaker 5: family photo probably, and then the second photo on the
Speaker 5: front of the Christmas card will be a picture of
Speaker 5: d V and Blake Snell holding the World Series Championship trophy.
Speaker 5: If the Dodgers ars our fortunate to do so inside
Speaker 5: the clubhouse or on the field wherever.
Speaker 6: In the bottom it would say all in the family.
Speaker 5: Uh if if the Dodgers are winning the World Series,
Speaker 5: and that is the Christmas card for the vast a household.
Speaker 8: And maybe a close up with these guys with their
Speaker 8: arms cross a close up like from the neck up,
Speaker 8: wearing like a cute smile, with wearing sweaters are wrapped
Speaker 8: around their neck.
Speaker 6: Oh, matching Santa hats as well. Yes, I like that.
Speaker 6: I like that.
Speaker 5: We'll come back and we're gonna get Steve's keys to
Speaker 5: a Game one win. What is it gonna take for
Speaker 5: the Dodgers tonight to win Game one of this World Series?
Speaker 3: We got it for you all.
Speaker 5: Coming up later on this afternoon, Blake Snell, Trey Savage, Dodgers,
Speaker 5: Blue Jays, first pitch at five oh eight, Steve's Keys next,
Speaker 5: Sax and kateson the Am with you on this Friday morning,
Speaker 5: October twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, as the Dodgers get
Speaker 5: ready to square off against the Toronto Blue Jays Game
Speaker 5: one of the World Series from Toronto's coming up at
Speaker 5: five to eight from the field, to the works its
Speaker 5: Strauss powers our World Series coverage right here on AMFI
Speaker 5: seventy LA Sports. We love the folks at Strouds. You
Speaker 5: see their big logo across the helmets here in the
Speaker 5: World Series and all postseason long. Shout out to them
Speaker 5: for all their support. Here on MFI seventy LA Sports,
Speaker 5: it's Blake Snell and Trey Savage the pitching matchup. We've
Speaker 5: been all over this matchup. We've heard from Blake Snell,
Speaker 5: we heard from Max Munty, we heard from the manager,
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts, we heard from Showeyotani, we heard from everybody
Speaker 5: anticipation for Game one tonight from the Rogers Center in Toronto.
Speaker 5: It's time now to hear from Steve Sacks. Steve's keys
Speaker 5: to a Dodgers Game one win over the Blue Jays tonight.
Speaker 8: Well, I think the key to this thing is going
Speaker 8: to be and look, there's a reason why Y Savage
Speaker 8: is starting that first game. Three total starts during the year.
Speaker 8: Doesn't matter. Is the reaction that the hitters have shown.
Speaker 8: The brass for Toronto is that. But it's not good.
Speaker 8: The reactions to his pitches are really really in favor
Speaker 8: of Trey, so My key to this game is going
Speaker 8: to be how did the Dodgers react to it? Do
Speaker 8: their philosophy have grind out that pitcher throughout the game.
Speaker 8: I think we'll know the first time through that's three innings,
Speaker 8: it's you know, an hour. It could be less than that,
Speaker 8: depending how the Dodgers react to it, But the first
Speaker 8: time through that batting order, tim, I think we'll have
Speaker 8: a great idea what lies ahead and how effective Treyya
Speaker 8: Savage is going to be against the Dodgers. It could
Speaker 8: go either way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the key is Blake Snell continue to
Speaker 5: be dominant, continue to put up zeros, and he's got
Speaker 5: to put up zero's early. He's got to quiet that
Speaker 5: Rogers Center's crowd, which is gonna be electric. This is
Speaker 5: the first time they've hosted a World Series game since
Speaker 5: nineteen ninety three. Keep the roof on the place, keep
Speaker 5: the crowd out of the game, keep them sit it down,
Speaker 5: sit it down their seeds, excuse me, and not let
Speaker 5: them get up and waving those towels in this game one.
Speaker 5: If Blake Snell can go out there and neutralize them
Speaker 5: in game one and get out there and put up
Speaker 5: zeros early on I think if they even would tray
Speaker 5: you Savage doing his thing early on Dodgers trying to
Speaker 5: figure him out as a starting pitcher. Once they do
Speaker 5: figure him out, whether it's one spin through the lineup
Speaker 5: or it's early in this game, if Blake Snell on
Speaker 5: his side of the Ledger can put up zeros, that
Speaker 5: to me is the biggest key for this Dodgers team
Speaker 5: keep the crowd and the Blue Jays out of this game.
Speaker 8: I'm anxious to see. That's and that's a great one, tim.
Speaker 8: I think that's one A and one B as far
Speaker 8: as it goes.
Speaker 6: It really is. And I think if.
Speaker 8: Shoey Otani can start this game off the right way
Speaker 8: with a walker or a laser somewhere, you know he's
Speaker 8: gonna go. Man, there's a lot more to come, but
Speaker 8: you know, I don't want to face this guy very much,
Speaker 8: but the fact that he's leading off can set that
Speaker 8: stage early.
Speaker 6: I think it's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Remember his one time back in Toronto since he elected
Speaker 5: to sign with the Dodgers and not the Blue Jays.
Speaker 5: He homered in his return to the Rogers Center, and
Speaker 5: they were booing him last year when the Dodgers went
Speaker 5: to the Rogers Center because they felt like they were
Speaker 5: spurned and they wanted to sign him. With that being said,
Speaker 5: if he can go out there and give the Dodgers
Speaker 5: an early one nothing lead, if he can go out
Speaker 5: there and get on base that first batter of the game,
Speaker 5: You're right, that is setting a tone against not only
Speaker 5: the fans in the Blue Jays, but especially after a
Speaker 5: twenty two year old out there making his first start
Speaker 5: in the World Series in Treya Savage.
Speaker 8: And also the people in the hotel watching. What do
Speaker 8: we got as far as vacancy goes in the hotel
Speaker 8: in center and right field.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I last I looked yesterday afternoon, there
Speaker 5: was very limited rooms. I think there was one maybe
Speaker 5: two left, and the price was still hovering right about
Speaker 5: nine thousand dollars at night. Yeah, but the suite coman
Speaker 5: talked about anymore or the large room as they called it,
Speaker 5: that had the large room.
Speaker 6: That makes sense. That was gone, now I get it.
Speaker 6: Nine grand a night. No, that was gone. That was gone.
Speaker 6: That's gone.
Speaker 5: The the uh double occupancy two beds, two beds in
Speaker 5: the room. Uh, small little hotel room was the only
Speaker 5: one left, and that was going for about nine thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: But yeah, you get you get a view of the game.
Speaker 5: Your your ness is paying for a hotel room and
Speaker 5: you're paying for tickets of the game all in one.
Speaker 6: You don't have to fight the crowd. You just after
Speaker 6: the game, you just you know, conk out.
Speaker 8: I think that's good. I mean that's good. But the
Speaker 8: prices is really steep. Tim you're talking, you know, eight
Speaker 8: nine grand American.
Speaker 6: That's wow.
Speaker 5: I mean that's Steve Sacks money. I mean, when you
Speaker 5: got that kind of stuff to float around and just
Speaker 5: kind of throw mytel room, you're you're living right, and
Speaker 5: that's you know, Hey, I'm Steve Sacks. I want to
Speaker 5: go to a World Series game. I'm gonna do it
Speaker 5: on my terms. I'm just gonna fly out there my PJ,
Speaker 5: my private jet, and I'm gonna go just stay in
Speaker 5: the Really, I'm just gonna go stay in this hotel
Speaker 5: room for nine grand a night.
Speaker 8: So yeah, that okay, not gonna happen, not gonna happen,
Speaker 8: and not gonna happen.
Speaker 6: That's crazy.
Speaker 5: Uh factor tonight, ex player who is in game one,
Speaker 5: not the series, but game one?
Speaker 6: Tonight, who's the difference maker for the Dodgers.
Speaker 8: I'm hoping that we see a turnover or an awakening
Speaker 8: from Andy Pajis. I'm looking for him to maybe start something. Okay,
Speaker 8: get over the nervousness you've been out through. You swung
Speaker 8: as hard as you can for all those series. You
Speaker 8: saw what can happens. Let's see if he can kind
Speaker 8: of suavee it a little bit and get some jack
Speaker 8: in the bottom of that order.
Speaker 3: That would be a good thing. I'm calling my shot
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 5: Tay Oscar Hernandez is going deep to left field in
Speaker 5: his return to Rogers Center. The Farmer blue Jay has
Speaker 5: flown back home and will go deep for the Dodgers tonight.
Speaker 6: Baking It's gonna happen, Okay, Waxy, We'll be here tomorrow
Speaker 6: discussing it on where.
Speaker 5: Back at it Monday morning, bright and early, six am
