Speaker 1: They say, the hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 3: It's winning it again.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,959

29
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: I woke up before my alarm went off this morning

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: at three forty five am Pacific. I shot right up

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: out of bed like a cannon, and I just could

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: not go back to sleep. I turned my three alarms

33
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: that I have ready to go just in case I

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: oversleeped the first one. But I was up before the alarm.

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: I was tossing and turning all night. I'm not even

36
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: playing in this game tonight, Steve Sacks, and I am nervous.

37
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: I'm also anxiously awaiting this baseball game because we have had.

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: Six days, six days in between.

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 4: Game four of the NLCS and tonight's Game one of

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: the World Series, and I cannot wait.

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: Let's play some freaking baseball.

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: Are you yeah? Tim? I gotta tell you I was

43
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 5: up before the alarm as well. I mean, I don't

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 5: have to travel to the studio. I got it right

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 5: here in my office. Unfortunate. I just go downstairs and

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: I'm ready to roll. I was up at four point

47
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 5: fifteen the alarm goes up. But I was actually up

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 5: before that, looking forward to speaking with you and our

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: fans and talking about this. I also did some rummaging

50
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 5: through some of the stats and whatnot. I'm surprised. I'm

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: not here to alarm anybody, but man, when you break

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 5: down the internal metrics on this team, at least offensively,

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: when I'm speaking about the Blue Jays, They've got a

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: lot of great things to talk about. I mean, you

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 5: talk about slug average, hits, all the things that make

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 5: a difference in runs, and they're like in the top

57
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 5: three on almost every single metric. So this team can hit.

58
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: And it's not necessarily the big stars. As we talk

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: to different people that have followed this team, it's not

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 5: necessarily the great big stars, you know, Vladi, Guerrero and Springer,

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: et cetera. It's kind of the bottom of the order,

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 5: guys that really get it done, the guys that bring

63
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: their lunch pale to work type. Those guys have put

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 5: in pretty good years. Ernie Clement var show guys like this.

65
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 5: Check out the stats on this team. It's like kind

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 5: of pops your eyes out a little bit.

67
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not making me feel any better by saying

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: all this is Steve said, I.

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: Haven't faced this starting lineup as far as the pitching goes. Either.

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: That means against the Dodgers, they haven't faced that.

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: I don't mean to be the half glass empty, wait,

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: glass half empty guy, but I'm gonna be right now.

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 4: Things have gone really smooth for this Dodgers team, too

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: smooth in the first couple of rounds.

76
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: So what I'm hearing is you're kind of thinking about

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 5: what's the other shoe to drop? Yes, you kind of

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 5: like the fatalist mentality. Yes, that's what I'm hearing from one.

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: Hundred percent, because things have gone absolutely fantastic for the

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: Dodgers in the wild card, the DS round against the Phillies,

81
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: which was a battle, and then the NLCS a sweep

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Four game sweep over the Brewers,

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 4: who had the best record. It just feels like it's

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: been a little bit too easy and all this build up.

85
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: Maybe we've had too long to kind of sit and

86
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 4: stew in what has happened in the postseason so far.

87
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: Because here we are on game day. The stomach's starting

88
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 4: to growl a little bit. I'm a little anxious. I

89
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 4: don't know, if I'm scared or not. But I'm a

90
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: little nervous about this series. I think that's the unknown.

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 4: Trey Is Savage, twenty four year old, doesn't know what

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: he better was playing an a ball six months ago.

93
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 4: Has more starts in the postseason than he did during

94
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 4: the regular season in the big league level. This offense.

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: He were just talking about the great numbers getting Boba

96
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: shit back into this lineup. I'm starting to fester little

97
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: bit and what is the Blue Jays and how they

98
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: can be a threat to the Dodgers, And when in

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: my mind, I'm already thinking parade, I'm thinking when the world.

100
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 5: Serial you're getting out there.

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 4: I'm starting to throttle back a little bit here, Steve Sacks.

102
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 4: I'm starting to kind of dig into this series. I'm

103
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: starting to get a little anxious.

104
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 5: Well, I wouldn't go that far. Tim. Look, I think

105
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 5: what you should do is expect the good things to happen.

106
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 5: I'm expecting that to happen for this team. And with

107
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: all due respect to Bobashett, you know, he had one

108
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 5: hundred and eighty one hits this year, one of the

109
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: top hits hits getters. I guess you'd say throughout the season.

110
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: He's a good hitter. He had a great year. But look,

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 5: he hasn't played in quite a long time. I know

112
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 5: he's been ramping up, but he's facing an elite staff.

113
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 5: He hasn't played in a long time. He's gonna be

114
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 5: if he does play, he'll be in the World Series.

115
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 5: Pressure on all that. I think this could be a

116
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 5: good thing for the Dodgers. Expectations will be huge for him.

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 5: I don't see him coming in here and just tearing

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 5: up the pitching staff for the Dodgers. So anything that

119
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 5: he does that isn't spectacular, I think is almost a

120
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 5: letdown for the Blue Jays. So I say bring him in.

121
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: We got a lot to get to over the next

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: three hours here on Saxon Kate to they Am, And

123
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: a big part of the show today is you, Dodger fans,

124
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: we want to hear from you. Eight sixty six, nine

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: eighty seven, two five seventy. How are you feeling going

126
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 4: in to this World Series matchup? What are some of

127
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: your keys to Dodgers' success here in the Fall Classic,

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 4: and what are your feelings about this Dodgers team going

129
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 4: up against the Blue Jays team that has been really

130
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: good at home fifty eight and twenty nine at the

131
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Rogers Center. They got a young right hander on the

132
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 4: mound who has been really good against everybody he's faced

133
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: so far in the postseason, Will the Alds. He went

134
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: five and a third shutout innings, pitched two games in

135
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 4: the ALCS. So they're gonna have their hands full tonight

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: with trey Ya Sevach here on the mound for the

137
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 4: Toronto Blue Jays. But again, we want you to be

138
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: a part of the show. At eight sixty six ninety

139
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: seven two five seventy. The odds on favorite to win

140
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 4: the MVP, he hands down is Showayotani, but it's probably

141
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 4: gonna be somebody else stepping up into that role and

142
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 4: being named he probably worth thinking about. Maybe a player

143
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: who has a big series over the stretch of a

144
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: week here and catches fire. Who's that gonna be? Dodger

00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: the media, who we're gonna hear from in a second, Uh,

158
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: made it known and the Dodgers put it out on

159
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: social media. Alex Vesia, the Dodger left hander, is not

160
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: with the team right now. Uh, he is not in Toronto,

161
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: did not make the trip dealing with their family matter

162
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: right now with his wife, and our thought and prayers

163
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: are with him and his wife and their family and

164
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: what they're going through and they can deal with it.

165
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: And you know, away from the game, is that certainly

166
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 4: more important that what's happening between the lines, no doubt.

167
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: But with him gone, this now opens a door possibly

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: now major League Baseball. Steve said they're gonna give the

169
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 4: Dodgers a little window here and the rosters. I believe

170
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: that to be turned in by ten o'clock Eastern is

171
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: the time. I believe is what they said this morning,

172
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: So we may know what the roster looks like by

173
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: the time we get off the air this morning. But

174
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: with that being said, I'm hearing there could be some

175
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 4: wiggle room in case Alex Vesia is able to come back.

176
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: Maybe after a game or two, he might be on

177
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: the bereavement list. I'm not really sure what they're calling it,

178
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: but again, we'll find out in the next couple of

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 4: hours how that plays out, but no doubt he's probably

180
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: not gonna be there for Game one. In Game two

181
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: in Toronto, that means there's gonna be a roster spot

182
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: open in the bullpen and Alex Vessia. Steve has been

183
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 4: really good for this Dodgers team and it's been one

184
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: of the guys that Dave Roberts.

185
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: Can count on. Would that be in step?

186
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 4: This kind of changes things a little bit as far

187
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: as Dave robbers options late in the game, doesn't it?

188
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does, And you know, I want to say

189
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 5: our thoughts and prayers obviously go out to Alex and

190
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 5: his family. This is more important than anything. So hopefully

191
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 5: he'll this will be a good outcome and whatever it is.

192
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: You know, we're we're praying for him, for him and

193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 5: his wife. But another option would be to place him

194
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: on the Family Medical Emergency List, which allows him to

195
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 5: spend three to seven days away before possibly returning to

196
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: the team. So that's another option for the club. But

197
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 5: again we're just we're just thinking about him and his family.

198
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 5: That's uh. I've been through some things like this on

199
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 5: myself and it's hard to compartmentalize something is deeply personal

200
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 5: as what they're going through and try to go play baseball.

201
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 5: It just it just doesn't doesn't match up.

202
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know those wondering, well, if something's happening

203
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: off the field, that's not an injury, why would baseball

204
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: not allow him on the roster. It's it's a rule

205
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 4: that if you're you know, you get hurt, you can't

206
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 4: come back. So do they have him on the roster

207
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: to start off with and just have one guy shy

208
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: in the bullpen. It's kind of a tricky roster manipulation

209
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: you have to deal with. And majorly Baseball is going

210
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 4: to work with the Dodgers and they'll have the understanding

211
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 4: of what's happening and what's not happening when he could

212
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: possibly come back. Maybe he doesn't come back here in

213
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: the World Series, They're going to go through all of that,

214
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 4: and majorly baseball is certainly gonna be a little flexible

215
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: here and the Blue Jays will be flexible. So what

216
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: is happening off the field with alex Vestia in his

217
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: personal life and if he is able to come back,

218
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: and who knows if he is going to rejoin this

219
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,359
Speaker 4: Dodgers team. They'll work out whatever roster you know, manipulation

220
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 4: they need to do moving forward. But for tonight Game one,

221
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: not gonna be there. And so the Dodgers are going

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: to be down a left handed reliever. And that brings

223
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 4: up the question, now, Tanner Scott, do the Dodgers now

224
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: go to Tanner Scott or do they add a position

225
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: player off the bench. Do they feel comfortable with the

226
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: left handers they have? And real quickly, I'll give you

227
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: my thoughts. I think you're good with Katon Kershaw, with

228
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski, with Anthony Bonda, and with Jack Dryer. I mean,

229
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: that's still four dudes that you can go to. If

230
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: you need a left hander out of the bullpen. If

231
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: they had a right handed arm I don't know who

232
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 4: it's gonna be, But I don't know. I feel like

233
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: you can go to a different direction with Alex Vessi

234
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: and not being there and instead of adding Tanner Scott

235
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: to this roster.

236
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, sometimes you're gonna have to face

237
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: things like this, and throughout the course of the year,

238
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: you're gonna have these unexpected things happen such as this,

239
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 5: and you have to find a way to come back

240
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 5: and make it work. But like you said, they've got

241
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: they've got other guys down there, and at this point

242
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 5: in the season where everything's on the line, tim you

243
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 5: have to have and expect to have other guys step

244
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: up and push a little more and ask a little

245
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 5: more from people.

246
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: That's a great point. You know, they're gonna have to

247
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 4: look at each other down the bullpen and say, guys,

248
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: we're missing three outs here, We're missing a lockdown guy

249
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: to finish off an inning and get us out of

250
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: a high leverage situation. Which one of you is gonna

251
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: rise to the occasion, Which one of you guys is

252
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: gonna rise to the occasion. If we need you to

253
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: get an out, if we need you to get an inning,

254
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: if we need you to get through the heart of

255
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 4: an order late in the game, one of these guys,

256
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 4: no doubt. And I think that's a good challenge to

257
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 4: these dudes in the Steve. This is this is something challenge.

258
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor are gonna look these guys

259
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 4: in the eyes today and say we need you. We

260
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 4: need all of you, but at some point we're gonna

261
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 4: need specially a couple of you guys to really step

262
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 4: in and be extra dominant, you know, go take it

263
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: to the next level, because we need you right now.

264
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is this is a time where you might

265
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 5: want to have a specific meeting just with this cores,

266
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 5: not necessarily the whole team. Of course they'll dress it

267
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: team wise as well, but to get specific on these

268
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 5: guys and kind of you know, challenge him a bit

269
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 5: saying you got to bow your neck here. We're down.

270
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 5: We're missing, you know, a very important part and an

271
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 5: integral part of this of this bullpen. And now we're

272
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 5: asking you guys, specifically the left handers, to push a

273
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 5: little bit more. We're asking more from you. Uh, this

274
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 5: is all for all the marbles, and you've got to

275
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 5: give us more. That's all there is to it. And

276
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 5: and I think they'll respond again.

277
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 4: We've we've talked about it. Tanner Scott is here for

278
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: the long haul. Tanner Scott is going to have a

279
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: great twenty twenty six. I'm confident of that that he'll

280
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 4: bounce back, he'll reset, he'll be really good for the

281
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 4: Dodgers like he has been in previous years. That's why

282
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: they signed him to the deal they did, That's why

283
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: he was so sought after in free agency this past offseason.

284
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: I have no doubt in my mind Tanner Scott can

285
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: get back to the elite level as a reliever in

286
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: baseball moving forward. But right now, the moment here in

287
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: this postseason, in particular this World Series, I can't trust

288
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 4: Tanner Scott. The unknown, the scar tissue, it's still built up,

289
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: it's still.

290
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: The wound still has not healed.

291
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: I don't want to rip the band aid off and

292
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: this thing open right back up again, and having to

293
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: see Tanner Scott back out there on the mound, walking

294
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: guys getting into trouble and god forbid, blowing a game

295
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 4: for this Dodgers team. I just I can't see it

296
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: right now, Steve, And it's no, it's it's nothing personal

297
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 4: to guy. It's just having seen what happened this year

298
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: with ten blown saves and walking the tight rope almost

299
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,359
Speaker 4: every single time.

300
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: He was out there, I can't do that.

301
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: I can't go on him.

302
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 3: I can't trust him.

303
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: So he was he had ten blown saves this year. R.

304
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 3: Yes, he also had twenty three saves.

305
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: Yes, he had twenty three saves. And if you look

306
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: at his his kind of you know, his numbers too,

307
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 5: you kind of WinCE when you see you have the

308
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: ten blone saves. Not acceptable, Okay, you can't have that.

309
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 5: But I'm just I'm just putting this out there.

310
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: Okay.

311
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, you know what his whip was this year.

312
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 5: One point two. That's a great whip. I mean that's

313
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 5: really good. Okay, that's walks and hits per innings pitched.

314
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 5: He struck out more than one an inning, which is

315
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 5: really good. He did have twenty three saves.

316
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 6: Uh.

317
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 5: His his era was high, especially for a reliever, and

318
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: you know you have one bout out and that thing

319
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 5: can spike a lot because of the lack of innings

320
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 5: that that that you pitch really as a reliever compared

321
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 5: to a starter. But you know, some of his numbers

322
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 5: in here are really pretty good, and guys would like

323
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: to have some of those numbers which you which you

324
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 5: can't have is ten blown saves. That that under any numbers,

325
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 5: UH looking at is not acceptable as a reliever. You

326
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: got to come in or strikes, get guys out and

327
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 5: get a hold or a save, whatever your job is.

328
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: But you can't have ten blown saves. That. That's the

329
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 5: bottom line.

330
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the BS with Tanner Scott is a problem. The

331
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: blown saves. It is something I can't overlook. I can't

332
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: get past again the scar tissue there has not been

333
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 4: built up since all the wounds that we've had to

334
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: deal with him during the regular season. And if he

335
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: makes the roster in place of Alex Vesi because of

336
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 4: what Alex Vesi is dealing with off the field, Okay,

337
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: then we'll move forward and we'll be ready and we'll

338
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: support him out there. I just don't see him coming

339
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: out in a very high leverage situation. If that's the case,

340
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: then Saxy, you're now having to look at Tanner Scott

341
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: and Clayton Kershaw as relievers that you may not be

342
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 4: able to go to in a high leverage situation because

343
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: you can only count on them, what in a blowout game,

344
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: in a low leverage situation, in a situation in which

345
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: you got you need somebody just to eat up innings

346
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 4: to get out of the game. I don't know if

347
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 4: I like those rules. I don't know if I like

348
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 4: two roster spots. One okay, one okay, but two guys

349
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: that you can't count on late in a game.

350
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 3: I mean, why are they on the roster?

351
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: Then I get you, But you also have Dryer and Banda, right,

352
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 5: and re Bluski and Robuski, right. So these are these

353
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: are guys that I think that you can, uh, you

354
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 5: know you can trust, but you know, hey, every every

355
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 5: series is starts anew and you know you can micro

356
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 5: this thing on down to the to the rabbit hole.

357
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: But still you gotta have somebody. This is this is

358
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 5: a critical thing to Tim. What I'm gonna say right

359
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 5: here is that if you're gonna win a World Series,

360
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 5: you have to have something unexpected that comes up. It's

361
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: like a guy that has an overall good year for

362
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 5: your team that you didn't expect. You gotta have guys

363
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 5: that got to stay out of the injury tub, you know,

364
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 5: stay out of the stay out of the trainer's room. Uh.

365
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 5: You got to have one of those, a couple of

366
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: surprises like this, even on a good team like the

367
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: Dodgers have, you have to have a couple of surprises

368
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 5: that step forward and uh and do it for you

369
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 5: For Toronto, it's it's obviously Trey Ya Savage. Okay, this

370
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 5: guy is really good. And you know, for a guy

371
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 5: to have more starts that he has in postseason than

372
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 5: he had during the season, only three starts during the season,

373
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: coming up from a ball last year, this is a

374
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 5: big surprise for the Toronto club. Dodgers got to have

375
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,959
Speaker 5: and to no better than the present for it to

376
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 5: happen in postseason.

377
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: Let's hear from the manager, Dave Roberts again. This is

378
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 4: him talking to the media last night at the Rogers

379
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 4: Center in Toronto.

380
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 7: Dave, the Dodgers just announced that Alex Fassier is away

381
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 7: from the team with his wife Kayla. Just keeping the

382
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 7: focus on the World Series in baseball. What does this

383
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 7: mean for the bullpen and for the roster and how

384
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 7: you guys can find a way to replace someone just

385
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 7: who's been so valuable for the group right now.

386
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know what I think. Right now, we're in

387
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 8: the mode of trying to you know, understand the process,

388
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 8: the rules a way that we could sort of, you know,

389
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 8: try to navigate the roster. So I think we have

390
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 8: a little bit of time at they think, you know,

391
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 8: ten o'clock tomorrow or something like that to finalize our roster.

392
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 8: But yeah, we're going through the process of trying to

393
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 8: you know, backfill his spot on the roster.

394
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 5: Just to clarify that.

395
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 9: Are you anticipating he won't be available this series or

396
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 9: is there a way that maybe if it's like a

397
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 9: bereavement situation or something like that, he could you could

398
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 9: add him later?

399
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 8: You know what, honestly, Jack, I think we're just going

400
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 8: day to day with really no expectations.

401
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 10: With you guys having been here before and have a

402
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 10: lot of veterans players on the team. In the Blue Jays,

403
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 10: most of their guys seem kind of, you know, really

404
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 10: excited just to be here. Is there an advantage one

405
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 10: way or the other? I mean, to them, it's all

406
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 10: new and they're very excited about it. To you, guys,

407
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 10: it's you know a big deal. But you've been here before.

408
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 10: Is there an advantage to the experience versus the newness.

409
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 8: First off, we're very excited to be here as well.

410
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 8: I think that, you know, some part of it. You

411
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 8: could argue that the naivete, the inexperience is a good thing,

412
00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 8: you know, but I feel that the ability to manage moments,

413
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 8: your heartbeat, it is advantageous, and especially in a seven

414
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 8: game series. So I think that we're equipped to play

415
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 8: well and we're facing a very good ball club. But yeah,

416
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 8: I like the experience, but also like the enthusiasm that

417
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 8: you know, those guys have, and we have some of

418
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 8: those guys too.

419
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: There's a manager, Dave Roberts, talking to the media and

420
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 4: again asked about the Alex Vesiga situation, and as of

421
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 4: last night, they were still trying to figure out the

422
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: process working with Major League Baseball because again, it's a

423
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 4: roster manipulation fans, if you're thinking about it, you just

424
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: can't bring guys on and off the roster once the

425
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 4: series starts. That prevents fake injuries, that prevents robs the manipulation.

426
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: So that's the rule in place, but certainly something like

427
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 4: this and then you know a personal reason to be

428
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: away from the team, they'll be aware of what's happening,

429
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: and there's gonna be some fudging here. There's there's gotta

430
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: be some way if he can come back at some

431
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: point for them to change the roster. But again, back

432
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 4: on the field in between the lines. How does this

433
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: affect this Dodgers team? Yeah, again, Tanner Scott most likely

434
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 4: the likely candidate to be called upon uh to come

435
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 4: out of the bullpen now and take Alex Vesi's spot.

436
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 4: So I don't know how you feel about that, Dodger

Speaker 4: here from Keiky Hernandez and Don Mattingley Blake Snell. In

465
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 4: the final hour, Casey Sean Casey from the MLB Network

466
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 4: will join us, and David Vasse, our Dodger insider, will

467
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 4: join us as well. Eight six six ninet eighty seven,

468
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: two five seventy is the number alex Vesia not with

469
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 4: this Dodgers team. That means the bullpen will look a

470
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 4: little different in a high leverage situation, and that opens

471
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: the door for Tanner Scott's turn to the Dodgers here

472
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: in the World Series eight six six ninety eighty seven

473
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 4: two five seventy. It's interesting, sexy yesterday at media day,

474
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 4: you know, you got some of the silly questions, you

475
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 4: got some of the fun ones. You know, they're asking

476
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 4: shoe Aotani, Oh, did he bring his dog with him?

477
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 4: They're asking him about the hat that he was given

478
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 4: by the Blue Jays two offseasons to go in their

479
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: recruiting pitch to him and having him come sign with

480
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: the Toronto Blue Jays.

481
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 3: Where's that hat? Bruh?

482
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 4: You know, did you return it? Did you throw it away?

483
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 4: And he said, no, it's in my garage in a box. So,

484
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of fun questions, off the field

485
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 4: questions and the sense you got, at least I did

486
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: from both these two teams and hear them talk to

487
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: the media. The Blue Jays are happy to be here.

488
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: The Blue Jays outside of George Springer haven't been in

489
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: this situation really in their playing careers. This is a

490
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 4: first time for many of these young players and the Dodgers.

491
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 4: It's just ho home, it's October. We're back here again.

492
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: We're supposed to be here. Can the confidence of being

493
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 4: on this stage benefit the Dodgers as opposed to the

494
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: Blue Jays who maybe Game one little wide eyed? Okay,

495
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 4: the world's watching now, this is this is a lot

496
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 4: of pressure on us.

497
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that definitely. The advantage is with the

498
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 5: Dodgers because of that experience that they have that means

499
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 5: a lot. I mean, you can't gain that any other

500
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: way than just going through the trenches and being there

501
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: year after year and doing this, was it thirteen years

502
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 5: in a row. Now the Dodgers have been in postseason.

503
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 5: So this the experience part of it is great. Now

504
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays talking the narrative, making that narrative be

505
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 5: known that well, we're just lucky to be here. We're young,

506
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 5: we're wide eyed, we don't really understand what's good. Listen,

507
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 5: They're gonna feel the pressure more I think than the

508
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: Dodgers will feel it because of that experience factor. So

509
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 5: this thing about well, you know, we're kind of desensitized

510
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 5: from this stuff because we don't, you know, really have

511
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 5: any experience, and that kind of works in our favor.

512
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: We don't feel it like they they feel it. They're

513
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 5: gonna feel it big time, especially in their own park,

514
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 5: you know, where they had a great record fifty eight wins.

515
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 5: But they're going to feel it in their own park

516
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 5: because the fans are gonna expect it, the fans are

517
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 5: gonna want it, and they have their best pitcher going

518
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 5: out there. At least they'll ride the momentum of Trey

519
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 5: you Savage, And you know what we'll do I guess

520
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 5: him is when we go along today, we'll kind of

521
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 5: break him down a little bit. There's some good things

522
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 5: to look forward to as far as having this guy

523
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 5: pitch today against the Dodgers. You look and break him

524
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 5: down a little bit. That you can get this guy, Okay,

525
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 5: you can get him, and I think he's a perfect

526
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 5: matchup for the Dodgers because of the Dodgers' philosophy of

527
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 5: hitting overall is to not be uber aggressive in certain situations,

528
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 5: to kind of do the Munsie approach, if you will,

529
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 5: to see pitches and get deeper in the count because

530
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 5: Trey Savage has a pinch it. He'll walk you. Now,

531
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 5: he will walk you if you work him hard. You know,

532
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 5: he's been averaging four and a half walks per nine,

533
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 5: which is a lot of walks. But I'll tell you

534
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 5: another thing interesting about him. This guy's had three starts.

535
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 5: He hasn't given up a home run yet, not one

536
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: home run. So good, yes, good that he walks people.

537
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 5: But there's other parts of it too, where you know,

538
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 5: he's tough to hit the long ball with. But we'll

539
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 5: see what happens with the club that has a penchant

540
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 5: for hitting the long ball. But I think if you're

541
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 5: really patient on this guy, that you can drag him

542
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 5: out there and get him in some bad spots.

543
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 3: We'll find out.

544
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 4: Treya Savage more starts here in the postseason for the

545
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: Blue Jays that he made in the entire regular season

546
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 4: at the big league level. This is the guy who

547
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 4: started the year in a ball Donald dud Eden, Florida

548
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: and has made his way up to the big leagues.

549
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: Here pitching on the biggest stage. Blake Snell, who we're

550
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 4: gonna hear from later on in the show, also pitching

551
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 4: on the biggest of stages here in Game one of

552
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: this World Series, but he's pitched in a World Series before,

553
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: doing so back in twenty twenty as a member of

554
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 4: the Tampa Bay Race. We'll get to your phone calls

555
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 4: in a second. We're talking about the confidence of this

556
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 4: Dodgers team not feeling the pressure. Here's Max Munsey talking

557
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: to the media and David Vesse.

558
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: You're kind of talking about things, and you know, in

559
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: spring you show up and it's like, you know, you're

560
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: you're kind of talking about things. And you've heard me

561
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: say it multiple times already. Every team has the speech

562
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 2: and spring training we're trying to win a World Series.

563
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: The reality is there's only a handful of teams that

564
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 2: that's actually true for and we're one of those teams

565
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 2: every single year. And when we're talking about that, you

566
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: know it. You know, I made this statement the other day.

567
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: We were kind of like, hey, guys, like we're good enough,

568
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: like we need to repeat this year. Like it's it's

569
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: not like oh we should or we could.

570
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: It was like, hey, we need to, Like that's how

571
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: that's how.

572
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: Good we felt like we were.

573
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: But after that was said, it's just business as usual

574
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 2: going out there every single day. You can't look ahead

575
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: throughout the course of a season, and that's something that

576
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 2: is really hard to do. But I feel like we've

577
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: created a good enough culture that we try to focus

578
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: one day at a time, and you know, when when

579
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: you're doing that, you can't focus on all those other things.

580
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 9: Cool, I've only five franchises have won three titles in

581
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 9: six years. I mean, obviously you guys have accomplished a

582
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 9: lot here over the last decade, but like, if you

583
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 9: can win this one, how much do you think that

584
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 9: adds to just like the legacy of this team and

585
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 9: what you guys have been able to accomplish.

586
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it'd be huge. You know, I've been

587
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: asked the dynasty question a lot over the last week.

588
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: You know, they they always say, like another sports, you

589
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: have to win three titles to be a dynasty. I

590
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: don't know if that's true, but we have the chance

591
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: to do that. I feel like for us, we've been

592
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 2: in the postseason less thirteen years in a row, or

593
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: twelve years in a row, whatever it is. You know,

594
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: we've had that chance to win a title every single year.

595
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: I feel like that has to count for something, and

596
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: you know, for this group, this organization, the front office,

597
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: the coaching stuff, the players, the culture we've created. To me,

598
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: that's been everything. And I feel like that in its

599
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: own is its own dynasty. Just the culture that we've

600
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 2: created that everyone else now knows about and you hear

601
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: other people talk about it. We've created something special in

602
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: the clubhouse and guys want to be a part of that,

603
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: And to me, that's something that is a dynasty in

604
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: its own all.

605
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 4: Right, there's maximuntie. I don't want to hear the D

606
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: word right now, Steve Sachs. We'll talk D word in

607
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 4: a week, depending on what happens in this World Series,

608
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: and that's dynasty. I don't want to talk about it

609
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 4: before Game one of the World Series. And I appreciate

610
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 4: the media asking questions and wanting to get thoughts about

611
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: what it would mean to win another World Series, the

612
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: third one for a lot of these players, But I

613
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 4: don't want to hear right now. I want to hear

614
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 4: about Game one preparation, Blake Snell, how they're gonna get

615
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 4: after you, Savage. I want to focus. I want to

616
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 4: focus on this game. Steve Sacks, I don't want to

617
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: hear about the D word anymore.

618
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 5: Cocker room tim and have a little you know, motivational

619
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: speech and kind of get these guys mindset, right, what

620
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 5: do you think I'm all for it? Would you do that?

621
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 5: Would you ever go in and you know, kind of

622
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 5: give your kind of like a fan perspective, absolutely and

623
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: just kind of say this is what I see, you know,

624
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 5: kind of stepping away from all the rigors of the

625
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 5: day that you guys have to worry about. Here's what

626
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 5: I see from a thirty thousand foot view. Would you

627
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 5: ever do that?

628
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 3: I would one hundred percent do it.

629
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 4: I feel like I would get some individual notes ready

630
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 4: for guys, so I'm not just talking to the team collectively.

631
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 3: At least I would initially. But then how much? How

632
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: much would you charge?

633
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 6: Oh?

634
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: I do it for free? Well I should say that

635
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 4: I should. Can you can you cover my parking at

636
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 4: a game?

637
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 5: Which, well, that's that's about right there.

638
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 4: Right, And you can you get me a dog and

639
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 4: a diet coke maybe, and you know, maybe one of

640
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 4: those little cool helmet cups that've got the h the

641
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 4: ice cream and couple of churros that are sticking out

642
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: of it that.

643
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 5: You work for pretty basic needs. I think that's that's good.

644
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: You're parking in an ice.

645
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 4: Cream well in twenty twenty five, that value is is

646
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: a lot.

647
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.

648
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 4: But I'd go around the room and and you know,

649
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: I'd say, Freddy b Freddie.

650
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 5: Who would you who would you kind of poke at

651
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 5: to kind of like be the guy that you're kind

652
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 5: of making an example?

653
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I the one hundred percent. There's two guys I

654
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 4: would go after, and I think I know I'd start

655
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: off soft.

656
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: I'd be like, Freddy, dude, just be you. Yeah, Freddy Freeman.

657
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: Your name on the back of the jersey is good enough,

658
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 4: my man. Just go out there, uh, you know, just

659
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 4: go to all fields, just do your thing.

660
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: Just be Freddy Freeman.

661
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 4: MOOKI Mookie, Yeah, Mooky, You're one of the best athletes

662
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 4: on the fields.

663
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: There's no way they can do what you do.

664
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: You went from a right field there to a second

665
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: basement to a short stop back to right now, you're

666
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 4: a Gold Glove finalist. Just just be Mookie here in October. Yeah, Pa, heads,

667
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: stop swinging at the ball out of the zone. Wow, Pa,

668
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 4: heads smaller and shrink that zone, all right?

669
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: Would you shrink that zone a little bit?

670
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 5: Listen, take balls hit strikes. Is that what you say?

671
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: Oh, Tay Oscar, I'm looking at you, my friend. If

672
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 4: you see the span below your knee, do not swing

673
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 4: at it because it's probably gonna be.

674
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 3: In the dirt.

675
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 5: If that is good advice.

676
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 4: If the ball's on the outer half of the plate,

677
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 4: go to right, feel with it or take it because

678
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 4: it's most likely in the left handed batter's box out

679
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 4: of the strike zone. Do not swinging it. Hey, Other

680
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: than that, guys, go out there, Max Munsey, you're playing. Heck,

681
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 4: you're doing a really good job, a heck of a

682
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 4: job out there. Will Smith hope that wrisk feels well. Okay, Tommy,

683
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 4: Tommy Tanks, you're the man.

684
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: Just do what you do. We'll undercover all.

685
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 11: I know.

686
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 5: The start you're pitching as a whole, you'd give him

687
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 5: a cookie and say, hey, man, this has been phenomenal. Well,

688
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 5: run a game on average in postseason? Nothing better. But

689
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: what would you say to the bullpen? Now they've been

690
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 5: trying and they've been getting a little respect coming back.

691
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 5: So what do you say to them at this juncture?

692
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 5: That is the relievers.

693
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 4: I hope they're all grouped up, you know, I don't

694
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 4: know how a clubhouse, and this this team this year

695
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 4: is you know, set up. But if it's set up

696
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: with a bullpen, guys kind of all next to each

697
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 4: other and the starters all kind of next to each other,

698
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 4: I would look at the starters first and say.

699
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: You guys are great. I love you guys. You guys

700
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 3: are really good.

701
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 5: So they see the other side, they see the complimentary

702
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 5: side bullpen.

703
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 4: I'm talking to you right now, and I'm not looking

704
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 4: at anybody in particular, but maybe I'm looking at your direction.

705
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 5: Tanner Scott, Oh god, I need you just had he

706
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 5: just had an absess or something taken out of him, right,

707
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 5: you know, so he probably feels bad.

708
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 4: He does, but if he's if he feels good enough

709
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 4: to be on this roster. I'm looking right, I'm looking

710
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: in the eyes right now. Wow, I'm looking at you

711
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: right in the eyes. I need you to be Tanner

712
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 4: Scott from a year ago.

713
00:32:59,440 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: Okay.

714
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 4: I need needs you to find the strike zone. I

715
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 4: need you to find out. I want you to go

716
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 4: out there and be dominant. After hearing this, he just

717
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 4: jumped up. He threw down his glove, he took off

718
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 4: his hat. He said, their gloves are off I'm gonna

719
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 4: be Tanner again.

720
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 5: Yes, what is that what you want?

721
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: I want?

722
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 4: I want to see some fire in the belly. Okay,

723
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: I want to see some hunger and what you want

724
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 4: to say? Where's the tiger? Exactly? Okay, you know, in

725
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 4: all seriousness, I kind of feel like we're seeing a

726
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 4: little bit of it. When he over the last couple

727
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 4: of days at Dodger Stadium, we heard right now, you're

728
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: kind of saying yew y exactly. When he was at

729
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium and David Veasse talked to him a few

730
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 4: days ago at the workout, he said, Hey, I want

731
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 4: to be on this roster. I want to be there.

732
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 4: And yesterday at the media day, he echoed that again

733
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 4: and said, Hey, this is why I'm here. I want

734
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 4: to I want to play in a World Series. I

735
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 4: want to win a World Series and contribute.

736
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: So I'm at least.

737
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: Hearing the right things right now out of Tanner Scott.

738
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: I'm hearing that, Hey, don't forget about me. Hey, I

739
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 4: know I haven't been great, but I want to be

740
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: a part of this team. So in my mind, Steve,

741
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 4: maybe that's train in the right direction. Like that he's

742
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 4: got that fire again, and he wants to prove a

743
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 4: lot of people wrong that what happened in the regular

744
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 4: season was then, and I could be a different picture

745
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: here in October at least I'm hoping that's the way

746
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 4: he's approaching this.

747
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 5: So so you're saying that you're hearing, but you need

748
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 5: to be seen one hundred percent percent, all right.

749
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 3: And I'm a little I'm a little gunshy here as

750
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: far as seeing it here in October.

751
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 5: I understood what if PA has like walked in late

752
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 5: to your to your Kate's meeting, what would you would

753
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 5: that like set you off with your hair go on fire.

754
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 4: I'd be like this, that's the only thing you're walking

755
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 4: right now is into our meeting late. I mean, if

756
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 4: you'd only take pitches like you come to meetings, we'll

757
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 4: be on base a little bit more.

758
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 5: I'm just kiddingding right, okay, Yeah, well, all right. That

759
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 5: it opens a little bit of the insight of you know,

760
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 5: what you're really thinking about.

761
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: So I think that's good. I directed at some guys,

762
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 4: but motivate them. And knowing some of these guys and

763
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: how they their ticks, the work, you know, and their

764
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 4: minds kind of move I would I would.

765
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: I'd play into it. I think I'd be a really

766
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: good motivator.

767
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 5: Would you lean into Clayton a little bit and have

768
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: Clayton come up and say something to edify you, Like

769
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 5: Clayton gets up and says, yeah, yeah, but but I

770
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 5: gotta let you guys hear what mister Kates has to say.

771
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 5: An edification from from Clayton Kersham Michael A long way

772
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,280

Speaker 11: guys are my baseball church. You already touched on Boba Schett,

798
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 11: so thank you for that insight. But I also wanted

799
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 11: to bring up last night listening to Dodger talk about

800
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 11: Dave s a uh pulling receipts about people, uh talking

801
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 11: about Mookie and how he said that he's thinking Mooki

802
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 11: for the World Series MVP, and I'm on board with that.

803
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 11: I really like Mooki's numbers versus the Blue Jays. I

804
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 11: know Toronto's gonna be harping on show hay more now

805
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 11: that the managers brought that up. So I'm really looking

806
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 11: forward for a Mookie to have a big series. He's

807
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 11: really got some great numbers against the Blue Jays. So yeah,

808
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 11: I'm on board for that, and I'm glad to see

809
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 11: the Dodgers go for a back to back end. We'll

810
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 11: talk about that D word after right. Thanks for taking

811
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 11: my goal.

812
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 5: Oh guys, thanks a lot able.

813
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 4: I'm glad you didn't bring up the D word, and

814
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 4: we refer to it only as the D word dynasty

815
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: because we're not talking about it until job is done.

816
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 5: The Dodge is already at dynasty. Okay, this is not

817
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 5: gonna I mean, they're not gonna all of a sudden

818
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 5: jump out of the out of somebody's pocket and say, hey,

819
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 5: we're the Dodgers. We're at dynasty. And they're already at dynasty.

820
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 5: They were a dynasty a long time ago.

821
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just by the fact that they've dominated

822
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 4: getting to the postseason, you can make it. But I

823
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 4: don't want to be the same dynasty as the Atlanta Braves,

824
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 4: the team that you know won Warden World Series. I

825
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: know that's not the case. The Dodgers have won a

826
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 4: couple now, but you do want to be that team that,

827
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: oh we win the division every year and we get

828
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 4: to October, but we don't have the rings to show

829
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: for him. But you know, I think to a win.

830
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 5: Where they win in twenty twenty four or I mean,

831
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 5: come on, they got the two rings a third world.

832
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 5: They look got other ones besides that, they got nineteen,

833
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 5: what sixty five? You got eighty one, eighty eight. I'm

834
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 5: just going off the top of my head, you know. Look,

835
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 5: I mean, the Dodger emblem, the Dodger insignia is one

836
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 5: of the most, if not the most recognized insignia in

837
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 5: all of sports. I mean, you can put maybe the

838
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 5: star of the Dallas Cowboys in there, maybe the Lakers

839
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 5: insignia there, you know. I mean, it's it's it's it's

840
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 5: got to be one of the biggest. The Yankees of course,

841
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: is up there too, but the Dodgers is right there

842
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 5: in the top, definitely in the handful of of importance

843
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 5: and famous sports. You know, recognized anywhere in the.

844
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 4: Whole world, no doubt, and hopefully it's recognized as a

845
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 4: world champion here in twenty twenty five. But we won't

846
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 4: say d yet. Dynasty coming back. We'll hear from Schoey Otani,

00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: these puppies are sick. Oh geez, that's why I had

884
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 3: to go there. I mean you said that's not a

885
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: youth small. Well there we go.

886
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, Tim, I got to tell you real quick.

887
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 5: I know we have just a second here because we're

888
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 5: getting the top of the top of the hour here,

889
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 5: but I'm thinking, what do you think? I want to

890
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 5: get your opinion. I certainly got into the depths of

891
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 5: your mind a little bit about your motivational speaking, what

892
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 5: you say to the team. But I'm thinking about getting Lasik.

893
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 5: What do you think I think you should get Lasik.

894
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 5: I think that way you don't need you don't need

895
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 5: breeders after that, right, No, my vision is phenomenal. I

896
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 5: can see forever. I have twenty ten vision, except when

897
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,919
Speaker 5: it's up close and I have to read. Other than that,

898
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 5: my vision is off the chart. Still.

899
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if there's the tech, if the technology

900
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 4: is there and there's something there that can help you

901
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 4: be better, feel better, look better, then why not.

902
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 3: I mean it's all about I mean, I.

903
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 5: Mean it's safe now, right, they've got this thing has

904
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 5: come a long way.

905
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, I mean twenty years ago people are like,

906
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 4: I don't know, want laser screen.

907
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 5: But now what do you think?

908
00:41:59,200 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 6: Oh?

909
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 4: People go in and go out, They're back to work

910
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 4: the next day. Really, Oh, I've never had it done,

911
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 4: And to be completely honest with you, I probably never

912
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 4: will have it done because I don't like things touching

913
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: my eye and I just can't get me. If I

914
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 4: have the procedure, you're gonna have to put me out,

915
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 4: and it kind of defeats the purpose because your eyes

916
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 4: roll back and you can't do that, but.

917
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: I don't see me ever doing it.

918
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 4: I'd rather wear glasses to read a computer, which I

919
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: have to do now because I'm in front of a

920
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 4: laptop or a computer all day long here and working

921
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: in radio. But I don't need them outside of it yet.

922
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: And when I get older, I'll gladly just wear glasses

923
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 4: rather than have my eyes worked on.

924
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 3: But Steve, I think you should get lasick.

925
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 4: I think we need to find a nice spot here

926
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 4: in southern California and have Steve Sacks indors getting Lasik surgery.

927
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 5: I'm thinking about getting the Lasik. Maybe somebody could call

928
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 5: in that's an expert and tell me about a little bit,

929
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 5: just like for a second.

930
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean people haven't done all the time. My

931
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 4: brother in law had it done twenty plus years ago

932
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 4: and still to this day he just turned fifty. He

933
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 4: does at need glasses. He sees better than he ever has,

934
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 4: and that was twenty years ago. The technology, I hope,

935
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 4: is a little bit better and the precision is probably

936
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 4: a little bit better.

937
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 5: And I heard of it's really pretty easy. But you know,

938
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 5: we'll see.

939
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, if anybody's had lasak done by all means help

940
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 4: Steve Sachs out get get a little bit more information there.

941
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 4: Jason and Maryland calling long distance. Listen on the iHeartRadio app. Jason,

942
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,479
Speaker 4: good morning, how you doing. What's on your mind today?

943
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 6: Good morning guys. The only thing on my mind is

944
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 6: that World Series we've been waiting for this whole week.

945
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 5: Man, I'm with you. What do you say there?

946
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 6: You know, I mean, I'm anxious, I'm nervous, But it

947
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 6: is what we've been waiting for. One hundred and sixty

948
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 6: two games. We're finally here again. And you know we're

949
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 6: not We're not just waiting to win. We're not just

950
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 6: waiting to go back to back. We're waiting to defend

951
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 6: what's still ours.

952
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 5: You know, Jason, what's the key for you? What's the

953
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 5: key Jason for them to win this?

954
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: Uh?

955
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 6: For me, I think it's it has to do a

956
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 6: lot with pitching. Man. Our pitching has like you guys

957
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 6: have said, it's it's set the tone every game we've seen, Uh,

958
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 6: big Blake's now, we've seen Yamamoto, we've seen Glass now

959
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 6: and Otani follow it if they can, if they can

960
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 6: get going how they have been in the playoffs. I

961
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,919
Speaker 6: think you know all this talk. Everybody's looking down on

962
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 6: the Dodgers right now, but you know they forget that

963
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays have to play us too. You know,

964
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 6: it's not just us playing the Blue Jays. They got

965
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 6: to play us too. It's a it's a long series,

966
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 6: but we got to take it one game at a time.

967
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 8: You know.

968
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 6: The last thing I want to say, I was at

969
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 6: that game one out of Way. I was recording Yamamoto

970
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 6: about to have the no hitter. Oh yeah, I was

971
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 6: at that game at the against the Orioles. All I

972
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 6: gotta say is I saw a lot of Dodger fans

973
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 6: leave when they brought Tannis Scott in, and I saw

974
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 6: a lot of Oreo fans our cheering.

975
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah that did happen.

976
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, appreciate the phone call, Jason, thanks for checking in.

977
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 4: I think he brought him something that we haven't even brought.

978
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I love how he said, we're here to

979
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 4: defend our title. The Dodgers are the defending champs, Steve Sacks,

980
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 4: and I think we can't lose light of that, the

981
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 4: fact that this is their championship to lose or to

982
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 4: win again and be the defending champs, and I think

983
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 4: that weighs big on their mind right now that they

984
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 4: are the guys.

985
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think it's great that Jason brought a

986
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 5: perspective being in Oriole Park at Camden Yard, since he

987
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 5: goes back there in Maryland, that he saw or he

988
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 5: heard Orioles fans cheering when Tanner Scott came in the game.

989
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 5: That's interesting, Tim, I mean, you know, did they know

990
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 5: something that nobody else knows? But they cheered when he

991
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 5: came in the game. Obviously from the standpoint, okay, he's

992
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 5: gonna help the Orioles.

993
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 4: Well, I think they're cheering knowing that Yamamotos out of

994
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 4: the game and oh here's the guy who's uh giving

995
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,720
Speaker 4: up home runs and blown saves.

996
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a little bit easier.

997
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's I hope, I really do hope, and

998
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 4: and I'm the only thing I have to lean on,

999
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 4: as I said, is his comments the last couple of

1000
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 4: days in Tanner Scott wanting to be on this roster. Okay,

1001
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 4: first off, I want to hear that, right if you're

1002
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 4: the manager, if you're I'll put from a fans perspective,

1003
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 4: I want to hear a guy say, put me on

1004
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: the roster.

1005
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 3: This is why I came here. I want to pitch

1006
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 3: in the World Series.

1007
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 4: I didn't come here to just be buried, you know,

1008
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 4: on the pitching staff and not be able to contribute.

1009
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 3: I like that.

1010
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 4: Okay, this little it gets me going a little bit

1011
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 4: here and get me excited about hearing Tanner Scott say

1012
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 4: I want to pitch in the World Series. Now, it's

1013
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 4: one thing to say it. He's got to go out

1014
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 4: there and do it. And that's where I'm like, Okay,

1015
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: you know, all right, I've been through this before. I

1016
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 4: got a lot of wounds here that still haven't recovered.

1017
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 4: I got a lot of scar tissue here. That's where

1018
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 4: I get a little worried. But he's at least saying

1019
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 4: the right thing.

1020
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 5: Steve Well, well, he's got an opportunity to change the

1021
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 5: whole perspective of how people look at him. And in

1022
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 5: a short timeframe. I mean, you got the World Series here.

1023
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 5: Doubt he'll be in a big leverage situation. But nonetheless,

1024
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 5: if he comes in and shoves, I mean he's gonna

1025
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 5: change it quickly, one hundred percent. Right, different than the season. Now,

1026
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 5: this is different. He comes in as shoves, people are

1027
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 5: gonna change your mind. Quickly.

1028
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe we need to give him a fresh start.

1029
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 3: Maybe we need to.

1030
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 4: Give him a fresh start like we've given other players

1031
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 4: who may not have had good regular seasons, but turn

1032
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 4: it on October. Ge Hernandez is a great example. Now,

1033
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 4: Kiarannandaz isn't a guy hitting eighty two during the regular

1034
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 4: season and throwing the ball into the stands and you know,

1035
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 4: diving and making a bunch of hair. No, he's produced

1036
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 4: during the regular season. He just cranks it up even

1037
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 4: more in October. The same with Max Monsie and Tommy Eman.

1038
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 4: We just haven't even seen great results in the regular

1039
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 4: season from Tanner Scott.

1040
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,399
Speaker 5: And maybe Tanner Scott's problems are now behind him.

1041
00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see what you did there, you know.

1042
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 5: Yeah? All right?

1043
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 3: But but but.

1044
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 4: He is Steve Sex. I'm Tim Kate's one hour down,

Speaker 4: two to go. I haven't eaten yet today. I've had

1046
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 4: a couple of cups, a couple of cups of coffee,

1047
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 4: but I can't anything.

1048
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 3: My stomach hurts too much.

1049
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 5: At what point do you cross over from I'm so nervous,

1050
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 5: I can't eat till to uh, you know what, I
