Speaker 6: Here's your host of Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: It's only been fourteen years.
Speaker 7: Every day, David Basse.
Speaker 2: We are live at Dodgers Stadium. After Game three finishes,
Speaker 2: after six hours and thirty nine minutes and eighteen inning marathon.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman the hero, a walkoff home run in the
Speaker 2: eighteenth inning to give the Dodgers the six to five
Speaker 2: win and a two games to one lead in the
Speaker 2: World series. He hit it off Brendan Little, so Nestor
Speaker 2: Cortes and Brendan Little in the same Freddie Freeman club.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman hitting the walkoff grand slam off of Nestor
Speaker 2: Cortes last year in Game one of the World Series,
Speaker 2: and Brendan Little serves up the walkoff home run to
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman in this year's Game three of the World Series.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be with you until two A M. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number will climb. Another hero of tonight's game, an
Speaker 2: unlikely hero of tonight's game, coming out of the bullpen
Speaker 2: the last release pitcher Dave Roberts had at his disposal.
Speaker 2: Pitching the last four innings of this game, does not
Speaker 2: give up a run, allowed just one hit, had five strikeouts,
Speaker 2: and somehow, some way had something left in the tank
Speaker 2: to be able to get through that top of the
Speaker 2: eighteenth inning to set up Freddie Freeman's heroics. Honestly, this
Speaker 2: game should not have gone to extra innings. I'll just
Speaker 2: put this out there right now. This game should not
Speaker 2: have gone to extra innings. The Dodgers made key mistakes
Speaker 2: to force and give the Blue Jays extra outs and
Speaker 2: basically give up runs. The Dodgers should have won this
Speaker 2: game in nine innings. I mean, Freddie Freeman, I know,
Speaker 2: it's one of those plays in the third inning where
Speaker 2: you're challenging Addison Barger to make a perfect throw to
Speaker 2: the plate.
Speaker 1: He did.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman was thrown out to end the third inning
Speaker 2: when they had Max on the ropes. Tommy Edmin had
Speaker 2: a key error in the top of the fourth inning
Speaker 2: which allowed a run to score in that inning, and
Speaker 2: that turned into the go ahead three run home run
Speaker 2: by Alejandro Kirk in that situation, and then you know
Speaker 2: ta Oscar Hernandez Hill advised over aggressive base running trying
Speaker 2: to take a third base after there was a wide
Speaker 2: throw to first base from the Blue Jays shortstop Andres
Speaker 2: and Menez. Vladimir Guerrero Junior saw Teoscar Hernandez trying to
Speaker 2: take extra ninety feet through him out at third base
Speaker 2: for the last out of that sixth inning, and a
Speaker 2: poor throw by Taoscar Hernandez in the seventh inning to
Speaker 2: home plate, Vladimir Guerrero Junior was dead to rights if
Speaker 2: he just makes a throw online instead, it was way
Speaker 2: up the first base line and Guerrero didn't even slide cleanly.
Speaker 2: So those were the things to me that stood out
Speaker 2: that forced extra innings. Now, I mentioned the era by
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond on a routine ground ball by Bobaschett which
Speaker 2: opened the door for a go ahead three run home
Speaker 2: run from Kirk Off a glass now in the fourth inning.
Speaker 2: But Tommy Edmund made two incredible defensive plays in this game,
Speaker 2: starting with the ninth inning where he made a great
Speaker 2: play moving on every play where he was able to
Speaker 2: make a great throw to get David Schneider home at
Speaker 2: the plate on a relay from ta Oscar Hernandez, and
Speaker 2: to save the Dodgers in that situation on a double
Speaker 2: by Nathan Lucas that Schneider was trying to score on.
Speaker 2: It was a great relay throw by Tommy Edmund in
Speaker 2: the tenth inning.
Speaker 1: And then in the ninth inning.
Speaker 2: Dalton Varshow hit a line drive that deflected off Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman's glove. Isaiah Kanna Filefa tried to take third base,
Speaker 2: but Tommy Edmund, moving on the play, backing up the play,
Speaker 2: made a great throat to Max Munsey for the second
Speaker 2: out of that ninth inning. So he made up and
Speaker 2: then some for that era in the fourth inning, being
Speaker 2: able to make two of the biggest defensive plays in
Speaker 2: extra innings for the Dodgers. And how could we forget
Speaker 2: about sho hey o Tani. An incredible night for an
Speaker 2: incredible player, the best on the planet on base nine
Speaker 2: times tonight. He has four hits in the first nine
Speaker 2: innings of tonight's game, all of them extra base hits,
Speaker 2: two doubles, two home runs, He scores three times. He
Speaker 2: hits the game tying home run in the seventh inning.
Speaker 2: It just had that feeling that he was not going
Speaker 2: to allow the Dodgers to lose this game, no matter
Speaker 2: how many It felt like the Blue Jays had the momentum.
Speaker 2: Otani responded, and that's the reason why Blue Jays manager
Speaker 2: John Schneider intentionally walked O'tani four different times in extra
Speaker 2: innings tonight, never giving him an opportunity to be the
Speaker 2: one to beat them. Let's head downstairs right now to
Speaker 2: hear from the Blue Jays manager himself, John Schneider.
Speaker 10: Hey, John, eighteen innings obviously not the result you guys
Speaker 10: wanted for you. What stands out, I don't know, A
Speaker 10: turning point in that game.
Speaker 11: What what do you go to?
Speaker 12: It's a lot, man. I love the way we played,
Speaker 12: I love the way we fought. I think every single
Speaker 12: player had the right intentions on both sides tonight. You know,
Speaker 12: there's there's a lot of things you look at. You know,
Speaker 12: we had chances to score, They had chances to score. Yeah,
Speaker 12: a lot to digest, you know what I mean. But
Speaker 12: I think turning points obviously walk off Homer. But man,
Speaker 12: I give my guys so much credit for playing the
Speaker 12: way they did, and Eric Lower pitching the way he
Speaker 12: pitched that that's pretty unbelievable. I know Client did the
Speaker 12: same thing for them, but a lot of unpack in
Speaker 12: that game. But I couldn't be I couldn't feel, you know,
Speaker 12: as good as I do right now by the way
Speaker 12: they went about it.
Speaker 10: It looked like Bieber was in the bullpen at the
Speaker 10: very end. How close did he get to coming into
Speaker 10: this game?
Speaker 12: Uh, fairly, you know, I think Little had at least
Speaker 12: two innings in him and kind of go from there.
Speaker 12: We were trying to navigate that a little bit and
Speaker 12: knowing that after him it was it was gonna be Shane.
Speaker 12: You know, That's why Eric went as long as he did,
Speaker 12: and you know, you got to you got to figure
Speaker 12: it out sometimes on the fly.
Speaker 11: But he'll be ready to go to more for throwing.
Speaker 13: You're right, Bill, I'm wondering in the I think it
Speaker 13: was the seventh thing. He guys had a mound meeting
Speaker 13: before a time he came up, could have walked and
Speaker 13: then chose not to. Obviously you're willing to do that
Speaker 13: later on. I'm wondering why it didn't make sense in
Speaker 13: the seventh and why it made more sense to you
Speaker 13: later on.
Speaker 12: Uh, yeah, Mountain visit. You know, it's it's we're trying
Speaker 12: to pitch around him, you know what I mean, and
Speaker 12: you trust Sir Anthony to to make pitches, to do that,
Speaker 12: and sometimes for pitchers it's it's hard to do that,
Speaker 12: you know, when you're you're kind of trying to throw
Speaker 12: a ball and didn't put it where you wanted to
Speaker 12: put it. But you know, he had a great game,
Speaker 12: he's a great player. But I think you know, after that,
Speaker 12: you just kind of take the bet out of his.
Speaker 13: Hands and not to give away secrets, but that's pretty
Speaker 13: much what we should expect going forward.
Speaker 14: Yeah, far back on your left, Keegan, John what do
Speaker 14: you make of ol Tony's entire performance today and how
Speaker 14: did that match up against what you guys were kind
Speaker 14: of game planning for with him bullpen wise.
Speaker 12: You know, his performance was really good. You know, he's
Speaker 12: arguably the best player on the planet. You know, I
Speaker 12: think he kind of react in real time a little bit.
Speaker 12: You know, again, man, they got they have a really
Speaker 12: talented lineup.
Speaker 11: You know, It's it's.
Speaker 12: Not the easiest thing in the world to just walk
Speaker 12: him and face Mookie and Freddy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 12: So every situation is different. You know, you got to
Speaker 12: you gotta really execute at a high level against him.
Speaker 12: And I think the first couple of games we did,
Speaker 12: you know, I know he hit the homer off Fish
Speaker 12: in Game one, but I think that we we executed
Speaker 12: pretty well minus today, you know, and he's he's a
Speaker 12: great player.
Speaker 11: And took some took some really good swings today.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Blue Jays manager John Schneider basically intimating that, yeah,
Speaker 2: anytime first base is open, uh show, hey, Otani is
Speaker 2: going to get four fingers, And who could blame him?
Speaker 2: After Otani carried the Dodgers offensively through the first nine innings,
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez also homeward for the first run of tonight's game.
Speaker 2: It was a deep shot to left field, a big
Speaker 2: bat flip for Taoscar Hernandez, and uh, you know, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers obviously are going to ride show, Heyotani and Mookie
Speaker 2: Betts has taken so much pride when opposing managers intentionally
Speaker 2: walk Otani in front of him. Well, tonight it just
Speaker 2: didn't work out for Bets. Betts was just one for
Speaker 2: eight tonight and in those situations coming up after Otani,
Speaker 2: he just couldn't deliver that game winning hit. But he
Speaker 2: better be ready because John Schneider just laid it out
Speaker 2: right there. He is going to intentionally walk show, Hey
Speaker 2: Otani and Mookie Betts has got to be ready. Eight six, six,
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Blue Jays six to five and eighteen
Speaker 2: innings tonight thanks to a Freddie Freeman walk off home run,
Speaker 2: the second consecutive World Series Freddie Freeman walks it off
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. Not a Grand Slam this time, but
Speaker 2: all he needed was won a home run over the
Speaker 2: center field fence in the eighteenth inning. To give the
Speaker 2: Dodgers a two games to one lead. I guess we're
Speaker 2: gonna have to add this to the calls next year.
Speaker 2: Where were you and Freddie Freeman hit his walk off
Speaker 2: home run in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 7: Let's go out to Sam. We know where he was.
Speaker 2: He was at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Sam, you're on
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk.
Speaker 15: Hey Dave, what are you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm doing great.
Speaker 15: I got a couple things to say. I'm still speechless
Speaker 15: from the game, a couple of things I want to address.
Speaker 15: I mean, I can't cover all bases because it was
Speaker 15: eighteen innings, but what I was thinking in the first
Speaker 15: I would say five or six innings. I mean, I've
Speaker 15: been listening past couple of Dodger talks and your appeal
Speaker 15: for the fans to get riled up. It was really
Speaker 15: so far. I even videoed a couple of moments where
Speaker 15: there was even two strikes two out, maybe five thousand
Speaker 15: fans waving their towels, even standing up. It was just
Speaker 15: really dead in there. And I don't know what we
Speaker 15: got to do to get the ravine rocking again. But
Speaker 15: that's one thing I wanted to say. Shout out to
Speaker 15: Will Kline.
Speaker 2: Of course, Well I will say this Sam, as far
Speaker 2: as the fans go. George Springer's first at bat, I was,
Speaker 2: I love the way they showered him with booze. I
Speaker 2: felt like the game tone was set right there. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's tough when not a lot of action is
Speaker 2: happening and you know the PA is blasting and trying
Speaker 2: to get people riled up. It doesn't happen organically all
Speaker 2: the time like that. But go ahead about Will Klein
Speaker 2: because he certainly was a hero tonight.
Speaker 15: So the hard part for me is, like I don't
Speaker 15: think it has to get to like two strike two out,
Speaker 15: but like I think glass now was in a jam
Speaker 15: and he had first and third one out. I mean,
Speaker 15: if he gets his two strikes in that bad that's
Speaker 15: a huge at bat too. You got to get up
Speaker 15: for him then, Like it doesn't have to be you
Speaker 15: have to wait till the two strike two out and
Speaker 15: nobody on or whatever. But the fans got to be
Speaker 15: I mean, jam's a jam. This is a random question.
Speaker 15: Well on one more thing and then one more thing
Speaker 15: real quick?
Speaker 11: Why was?
Speaker 15: I mean, I understand what's your one thing?
Speaker 2: We got calls you are as you are emotionally exhausted
Speaker 2: as the players. Sam, catch your breath. I'm going to
Speaker 2: come back to you since you got one more thing
Speaker 2: and one more thing. Hold on, all right, Let's go
Speaker 2: out to Sheldon, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi
Speaker 2: Sheldon uh Man, what a night for you to be
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: Hi Sheldon Sheldon.
Speaker 2: Okay, Sheldon missed their flight and missed coming on the show.
Speaker 2: Let's try uh Art to Meo Art to MEO, You're
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: How you doing.
Speaker 16: I'll do a great Dave, what a what a win.
Speaker 17: I was there at the alser at the stadium.
Speaker 18: I got to witness another eighteen eighteen and any World
Speaker 18: Series game because I was there in twenty eighteen as well.
Speaker 15: To Max Bunty, walk it off.
Speaker 7: You were here for.
Speaker 2: Both eighteen inning games? Did you stay for both eighteen innings?
Speaker 15: Of course I did.
Speaker 18: How are you gonna leave a World Series game early?
Speaker 18: Anybody that left the game early, A shame on you.
Speaker 18: I was also there for Game one of the World
Speaker 18: Series last year when Freddy hit his Grand Slam. So
Speaker 18: I've been very blessed to see some pretty cool feats
Speaker 18: happening at Dodgers States.
Speaker 7: Look at you, Look at you. You're like Brad Paisley.
Speaker 2: Brad Paisley performs the national anthem and there's a walk
Speaker 2: off home run in the World Series. That's three in
Speaker 2: a row for Brad Paisley as well. Art DeMeo.
Speaker 15: You know what.
Speaker 18: And he crushed it. He crushed us that national anthem,
Speaker 18: loved it, loved the whole game. And appreciate you for
Speaker 18: all you do, you know, for US fans and getting
Speaker 18: some insight, scoop and everything. And listen to you all
Speaker 18: the way there. Listen you know, I listened to to
Speaker 18: Sachs and Kates in the morning.
Speaker 15: It's you. Afi seven just Is crushed it all the
Speaker 15: way around.
Speaker 1: So thank you, Hey, thank you.
Speaker 2: I mean that guy lives Breeze Dodger Blue right there.
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of Dodgers in his life. Manny
Speaker 2: was at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Manny, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 15: What's going on DV No.
Speaker 19: I was not at Dodger Stadium. I was actually working tonight,
Speaker 19: but I.
Speaker 1: Called it so that you're coming from the game.
Speaker 19: No No, I told the guy who took it from
Speaker 19: y yeah, Colling, what's going on.
Speaker 17: I just want to say I was I'm a.
Speaker 19: Blue collar worker, and you know, I was working in
Speaker 19: a very very big bar, and I clocked out of
Speaker 19: work at ten o'clock and I said, I got to
Speaker 19: finish this game. And and lo and behold Freddy Freeman
Speaker 19: once again.
Speaker 17: Just this is the reason why he's.
Speaker 19: Going to have his statue up at Dodger Stadium years
Speaker 19: from now.
Speaker 17: This was a really crazy geam.
Speaker 19: Oh definitely, Oh my gosh, the Freddy Freeman last year
Speaker 19: of the game one, he does it again this year.
Speaker 19: I mean, it's something he's come to do a lot.
Speaker 19: But this game had so much up and down, and
Speaker 19: like you said earlier, the Dodgers left a lot of
Speaker 19: me end the meat on the bone today and they
Speaker 19: had a lot of you know, a couple of errors,
Speaker 19: the oh gosh, Tommy Edmund booting that ball, you know,
Speaker 19: leading up to a still.
Speaker 2: I feel like the Dodgers have played their best baseball
Speaker 2: in this World Series. And I think that's a scary
Speaker 2: thing for the Blue Jays, considering the Dodgers are up
Speaker 2: two games to one and they got Otani on the
Speaker 2: mound tomorrow. Yeah, it's I agree with you. And look,
Speaker 2: that's a good thing if you're a Dodger fan, because
Speaker 2: there's still a lot more room to get to that
Speaker 2: ceiling between now and two more wins. So thank you
Speaker 2: for the phone call, Manny. It's one oh seven in
Speaker 2: the morning. We are alive at Dodgers Stadium. After Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman's walk off home run in the eighth inning, eighteenth
Speaker 2: inning gives the Dodgers a six to five win.
Speaker 7: We got a full boarder calls.
Speaker 1: That is so.
Speaker 2: Cool at one a m and many of you hanging
Speaker 2: in there with the Dodgers in this World Series game.
Speaker 2: And yeah, just to see those guys you hear about
Speaker 2: you hear about the hyperbolea being emotionally spent, physically spent.
Speaker 2: I witnessed that on the field. But there's a game
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, Game four. They got the right guy on
Speaker 2: the mound that carried them tonight show, Hey Otani through
Speaker 2: the first nine innings. Let's go out to KC kse.
Speaker 2: Were you at Dodger Stadium tonight.
Speaker 20: Dave, Yes, Oh my gosh, I was there in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 20: I went to actually the Freddie home run last year.
Speaker 20: This one tonight, I'm going tomorrow night. I saw me
Speaker 20: right back at the stadium in a few hours. But hey, unbelievable,
Speaker 20: the ups and downs.
Speaker 21: I was emotionally spent, so I don't even know how
Speaker 21: they're doing it. But hey, one tactical question, Dave, I mean,
Speaker 21: do you sit pa has at this point?
Speaker 17: I mean, he's such a liability up there.
Speaker 21: I know he plays great defense, but just kind of
Speaker 21: curious what you think, buddy, And hey, you do a
Speaker 21: great job.
Speaker 17: I super appreciate you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Kate.
Speaker 2: See, I absolutely believe you said Andy Paez tomorrow he
Speaker 2: led off four different innings. If he gets on one
Speaker 2: of those times, Otani's doubles, home runs turn into go
Speaker 2: ahead home runs and doubles, not just tying home runs
Speaker 2: and doubles. You gotta get a guy in the nine
Speaker 2: hole that will get on base. And we saw out
Speaker 2: of necessity Tommy edmund kick out to center field and
Speaker 2: extra innings and Miguel Rojas at second base. If they
Speaker 2: can do that tonight, I see no reason why Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts can have Miguel Rojas start second base tomorrow night
Speaker 2: and Tommy Edmunds starting center field. And if you're a
Speaker 2: little concerned about ed hold on, I'm not done with
Speaker 2: the first one. If there's any reasons why Edmund's ankle,
Speaker 2: there's any concern about that in centerfield later innings take
Speaker 2: him out of the game more moving to second base?
Speaker 7: All right, what's your other question?
Speaker 17: Sorry? Yeah, Dan, super subs or creakers? Come on, I'm
Speaker 17: a valley guy. Which one?
Speaker 7: Look at you, Casey Man. That's tough, But I'm going
Speaker 7: with Dan's.
Speaker 17: Yeah, me too. Number eighteen, Sweet Caroline.
Speaker 1: I'm going sweet Sweet Caroline.
Speaker 17: All right, buddy seel okay.
Speaker 7: Thanks a lot. The guy's very excited.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine seven two, five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. How about tonight Clayton Kershaw getting into the
Speaker 2: World Series in extra innings in the twelfth inning a
Speaker 2: basis loaded jam, relieving image shean. Everybody in this stadium
Speaker 2: was on their feet for Kershaw when they realized he
Speaker 2: was coming into the game, and then everybody was pulling
Speaker 2: for him to be able to get the Dodgers out
Speaker 2: of that jam with the game on the line in
Speaker 2: the twelfth inning, facing the left handed Nathan Lucas, and
Speaker 2: he was able to get a ground out. Another great
Speaker 2: play by Tommy Edmond A shovel pass out of the
Speaker 2: glove a'la Chase Subtley to Freddie Freeman. It was a
Speaker 2: little it was a little worm eater. It was hit
Speaker 2: on the ground very slowly, but luckily Edmund was able
Speaker 2: to get to it, and Kershaw got the Dodgers out
Speaker 2: of that jam. The only batter Kershaw face tonight in
Speaker 2: extra innings, Nathan Lucas and everybody was pulling for Kershaw
Speaker 2: to get out of that jam because of that false
Speaker 2: narrative around his postseason career.
Speaker 1: He did it.
Speaker 2: He was feeling good about himself and certainly feeling even
Speaker 2: better after the Dodgers won this game in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 2: Let's head downstairs to hear from Kershaw on sports and
Speaker 2: at LA.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I'm going to start with the book, linb. You know,
Speaker 22: I think what he did tonight above and beyond, you know,
Speaker 22: above and beyond anybody can expect out of somebody that's
Speaker 22: literally never done that before. So all the respect and
Speaker 22: credit in the world for him to get going out
Speaker 22: there putting up zeros, and I had a lot of
Speaker 22: guys step up all the way down Robo Enriquez, all
Speaker 22: these guys coming out of the pen, putting up zeros
Speaker 22: for us, and and then yeah, Freddy does what Freddie does?
Speaker 11: You know, So I'm just glad he's on our team.
Speaker 11: We saw you.
Speaker 22: There with the bases loaded, what we sent a unique
Speaker 22: position for you to come in.
Speaker 1: Can you describe what it was like?
Speaker 22: Yeah, you know, she I forgot to even say she
Speaker 22: threw the ball. Un believable tonight too, you know, going
Speaker 22: two plus innings for us, and yeah, just trying to
Speaker 22: come in and get one out. Definitely something that haven't
Speaker 22: done a whole lot, but you know, you just try
Speaker 22: and do your job and what's asked of you, and
Speaker 22: thankful to get a little roll over there. And yeah,
Speaker 22: it was a big out for us. I thought it
Speaker 22: was gonna be a bigger out, but we played like nine.
Speaker 11: More innings, so it was a kind of cutaway of you.
Speaker 11: It looks like you got emotional in the dugout. What
Speaker 11: was going through your mind after you came out. I
Speaker 11: was just excited. I don't think I was emotional. I
Speaker 11: just got excited. You talked about you talked about Freeman.
Speaker 14: I mean, everybody remembers what he did last year, but
Speaker 14: to do a similar thing again, How did you describe
Speaker 14: that Clayton, he.
Speaker 11: Just uh, he's the guy you wont up.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 11: Freddy just keeps taking the moment.
Speaker 22: He just we keep putting them, putting them in good moments,
Speaker 22: and he keeps coming through for us. So, like I said,
Speaker 22: I don't know what else to say other than he's
Speaker 22: he's the guy you want up.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 22: That's there's no other way to say it. So just
Speaker 22: I'm just really glad he's a Dodger.
Speaker 9: Okay, we look at what it took from everyone on
Speaker 9: this team in the moments of October that bring magic.
Speaker 9: What did what did this one feel like for you?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I mean we didn't even talk about show.
Speaker 22: I mean show if it got on base nine times,
Speaker 22: you know, and just uh, he's about to pitch in
Speaker 22: like I don't know, twelve hours, fifteen hours or something.
Speaker 11: So it's pretty pretty pretty.
Speaker 22: Unbelievable all the way around, full team effort, everybody will
Speaker 22: Smith catching eighteen innings. Uh, I mean, I could just
Speaker 22: go down the list.
Speaker 11: So you know, we.
Speaker 22: Realize their job's not done. We got two more of
Speaker 22: those guys are gonna be ready to go tomorrow. They
Speaker 22: got a good picture going, so we're going to sleep
Speaker 22: as fast as we can get ready to go.
Speaker 23: Even though Yama motive didn't wind up pitching, the fact
Speaker 23: that he was wanting to go out there and and and.
Speaker 11: Do that with did that show. Yeah, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 11: even mention Yama.
Speaker 22: I mean he uh, he went up and forced the issue,
Speaker 22: said he could do it, and yeah, just that's that's unbelievable.
Speaker 22: You know, that's he just through a complete game two
Speaker 22: days ago, cross country travel, getting at four in the morning,
Speaker 22: one day rest basically and go out and say you
Speaker 22: can pitch. So that's uh, sometimes that's what you need
Speaker 22: to win a World Series. And we've got a lot
Speaker 22: of guys in here willing to sacrifice to do that.
Speaker 11: So that's pretty awesome.
Speaker 23: The fifty one on your hats? How did that like
Speaker 23: kind of come about? Yeah, just something that we talked about,
Speaker 23: and you know, I'm new to the bullpen.
Speaker 22: But Vess uh, he means a lot to all of
Speaker 22: us and he was a huge part of this team,
Speaker 22: a huge part of that bullpen, so we just wanted
Speaker 22: to do something honor him.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, we saw it with Blake trenon SAT.
Speaker 2: We noticed that right away, and yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: That the relievers put fifty one on their cap to
Speaker 2: honor Alex Vesia, who obviously is dealing with some personal
Speaker 2: stuff that is not allowing him to be part of
Speaker 2: this World Series. But he's been such a big part
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers season all year long, including the first
Speaker 2: three rounds that come on. They're not going to forget
Speaker 2: about him. He's a big part of that bullpen and
Speaker 2: a big part of this Dodger team, and they're going
Speaker 2: to try to do this without him in the World
Speaker 2: Series and bring back a second consecutive championship. And I
Speaker 2: can't say enough, even though he never got into the game,
Speaker 2: Yamamoto volunteering and pushing the issue as Kershaw just revealed
Speaker 2: to go out to the bullpen to be ready for
Speaker 2: a possible nineteenth inning after throwing a complete game two
Speaker 2: days ago only having a day off. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: stuff of legends right there, and that stuff that we
Speaker 2: saw with Oral Herscheiser eighty eight Kershaw pitched on three
Speaker 2: days rest.
Speaker 1: It's something he would be willing to do.
Speaker 2: That just says a lot about who Yamamoto is and
Speaker 2: how badly he wants to win, even though he has
Speaker 2: a ten year contract worth over three one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: And I know there's been a lot of talk about
Speaker 2: the Dodgers payroll, the salaries. The difference is the Dodgers
Speaker 2: have paid guys that are winners, that they don't just
Speaker 2: hand out these big contracts to anybody just with talent.
Speaker 2: They've picked the right guys, from Otani to Mookie Beds
Speaker 2: to Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw to Yamamoto.
Speaker 7: That's the separator.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Dodgers get the walk off win in
Speaker 2: eighteen innings thanks to Freddie Freeman six to five over
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. Let's go out to Long Beach. David,
Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk live from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1: How you doing, David Good?
Speaker 11: How are you?
Speaker 1: Couldn't be better?
Speaker 24: Oh yeah, great winter tonight, Great wednesdnight. And I gotta
Speaker 24: tell you, I think I probably went through almost speak
Speaker 24: quarters of a bottle of Pepto bismo listened to this game.
Speaker 24: I mean, I'm listening on the iHeart Radio and I've
Speaker 24: been following all eighteen innings.
Speaker 17: And I have to really talk about that.
Speaker 7: On the iHeartRadio app all eighteen innings, David.
Speaker 24: All eighteen innings. That's amazing, all eighteen innings. And I mean,
Speaker 24: that's how dedicated I am to this team.
Speaker 15: I got to.
Speaker 24: Admit, you know, we had our chances. We were swinging
Speaker 24: at some bad pitches, but we got the jump done.
Speaker 24: Bottom line, we won. That's that's all we got.
Speaker 17: We got to w that's it.
Speaker 15: Now.
Speaker 17: One quick question.
Speaker 24: I don't know if you can look this. I don't
Speaker 24: know if you can look this up, but was there
Speaker 24: a record set as far as men left on base
Speaker 24: in a single World Series game?
Speaker 1: That's a great question.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers left eighteen men on bass and
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays left nineteen men on base, and it
Speaker 2: kind of felt like guys were, you know, starting to
Speaker 2: wear down, but yet they were still trying to swing
Speaker 2: for the fences instead of you know, taking pitches. But
Speaker 2: that's where the mental fatigue starts to blend in with
Speaker 2: the physical and emotional fatigue. So look, it's a it's
Speaker 2: a hard game. These guys are throwing hard.
Speaker 1: I thought the.
Speaker 2: Dodgers were going to get to Eric Lower they just
Speaker 2: weren't able to. I mean, he's had their number in
Speaker 2: the past, but Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 1: We'll look up.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I felt like there could have.
Speaker 2: Been some better approaches and extra innings instead of just
Speaker 2: trying to swing for home run derby at times. But
Speaker 2: luckily the Dodgers got that one swing from Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 1: So nobody's complaining.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. We have a full board of call,
Speaker 2: so I'm trying to get to all of you. A
Speaker 2: very exciting night at Dodgers Stadium where the Dodgers win
Speaker 2: Game three of the World Series in eighteen innings, six
Speaker 2: to five. David Another David in west Lake. You're on
Speaker 2: Dodger tog. How you doing.
Speaker 16: DV.
Speaker 3: Thanks a lot for taking my call. I'm doing great.
Speaker 3: Thanks for so late, man, I'm good Man. You and
Speaker 3: Collin should get overtime for being on till two in
Speaker 3: the morning. That's fantastic. Thank you for that. I just
Speaker 3: wanted to say a couple of things. I have a
Speaker 3: little Freddy story and then. But first I just wanted
Speaker 3: to say that baseball is such a beautiful game. It's
Speaker 3: so poetic. It's like the narrative of this team in
Speaker 3: the postseason was that the bullpen was our achilles heel
Speaker 3: and that we better not let the bullpen come in
Speaker 3: because we're gonna lose when they do. And it just
Speaker 3: so happens that, ironically the bullpen might have just helped
Speaker 3: us win a world series tonight. I think that's how
Speaker 3: important this game was to win. And just a huge
Speaker 3: shout out to every single guy, every single guy, every
Speaker 3: every single player in that bullpen that came in and
Speaker 3: just threw zeros. It was just a masterclass of just
Speaker 3: heart and soul. And the Freddie story is that when
Speaker 3: I when I when I got a chance to meet
Speaker 3: you DV on the field, I got a little a
Speaker 3: little meet and greet with Freddie and he signed my
Speaker 3: hat and I vowed that I'm I'm I wasn't gonna
Speaker 3: wear the hat. I didn't want to get it dirty.
Speaker 3: But for some reason, tonight, before I went to my
Speaker 3: buddy's house to watch the game, I said, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wear the hat. And just so happened that
Speaker 3: Freddie went yard and did another walk off, and and
Speaker 3: just I just want to say Freddie is not not
Speaker 3: just a great player, but he's such a great person.
Speaker 3: And and I was so grateful that he took the
Speaker 3: time to sit down with us and and and and
Speaker 3: sign my hat and and and we talked baseball a
Speaker 3: little bit. And he's just amazing. And just shout out
Speaker 3: to to to the whole Dodger squad tonight. Uh they
Speaker 3: may have just uh took care of business for this year.
Speaker 3: And and I'm so proud to be a fan. Thanks Tevie.
Speaker 2: All Right, David, thank you for the phone call. Well,
Speaker 2: there's still a long way to go in this World Series.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing for certain, the Blue Jays are
Speaker 2: not going away without a fight. I think that's one
Speaker 2: thing we've learned in the first three games of this
Speaker 2: World Series. The Dodgers are not just going to sweep
Speaker 2: these guys like they swept the Brewers. These guys are
Speaker 2: our pesky group of guys that put the ball in play,
Speaker 2: force mistakes and have two boppers in Vladimir Guro Junior
Speaker 2: and George Springer. Haven't heard what the exact injury was
Speaker 2: for George Springer. Maybe we could find out if anybody
Speaker 2: reported that our guy Julian McWilliams from CBS Sports is
Speaker 2: in the house. What do we got right side discomfort?
Speaker 2: I got right side discomfort too. Oh, he's going for
Speaker 2: an MRI. Julian McWilliams reporting from the Dodgers radio booth
Speaker 2: for CBS Sports HQ. That's the benefit of when we
Speaker 2: give him rent free in the booth during game free
Speaker 2: the World Series. So George Springer certainly will not be
Speaker 2: in the starting lineup tomorrow night for the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: in Game four.
Speaker 7: That's a huge loss for them. So basically, uh, they.
Speaker 2: Got Kirk, they got Guerrero, they got var Show, and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have got you know, not allow those guys
Speaker 2: to beat them. And I guess Bobashett as well, who's
Speaker 2: playing with a bad leg as well bad knee.
Speaker 1: So the Blue Jays are banged up.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers, I will say, are not one hundred percent either,
Speaker 2: but they're still on the field, so that's a win
Speaker 2: for them. So George Springer going to get an MRI
Speaker 2: with right side discomfort, had to leave his at bat
Speaker 2: in the seventh inning, So the Blue Jays were without Springer,
Speaker 2: they were without Alejandro Kirk, who they pinched ran formed
Speaker 2: the twelfth inning, and the Dodgers went with Will Klein
Speaker 2: and it was a very ordinary lineup outside of Vladimir
Speaker 2: Guerrero Junior and extra innings eight six, six in two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to
Speaker 2: Sam who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Sam, where were
Speaker 2: you sitting and come clean? Did you stay for all
Speaker 2: eighteen innings?
Speaker 15: Yes, Dave, this is me. I was on at the
Speaker 15: beginning of the show. I need to have one more question.
Speaker 15: I was there question?
Speaker 1: Sorry, Sam, I forgot it.
Speaker 15: Was one more qua.
Speaker 17: Yeah, why was kek?
Speaker 15: Was he hurt? Why was he pulled? I understand maybe
Speaker 15: they wanted to bun over. Miguel Ross is a better bunter,
Speaker 15: but I didn't knock your key a shot to knocking
Speaker 15: that run with nobody out on.
Speaker 2: Second, Yeah, that's exactly that's exactly the reason why. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's less than two outs, there's nobody out after a
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund leadoff double. They're playing for one run, and
Speaker 2: nobody's a better bunner on this team than Miguel Rojas,
Speaker 2: and they went to they pulled the trigger on that,
Speaker 2: wanting to get Edmund to third base and get a
Speaker 2: couple of shots at a floor. So that's the reason why.
Speaker 2: But I can understand you know October KEIK and all that,
Speaker 2: But key K, he didn't have an incredible night tonight.
Speaker 2: He had a big leadoff single to help the Dodgers
Speaker 2: come back in this game. But yeah, they were they
Speaker 2: were looking for the bunt right there. Kei K was
Speaker 2: two for five tonight or yeah, two for five with
Speaker 2: the run score. But yeah, that's a fair question, Sam.
Speaker 2: But Dave Roberts obviously was playing for just one run
Speaker 2: in the twelfth inning. All right, thank you for the
Speaker 2: phone call. Eight six six, nine eighty seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. Unfortunately, the Dodgers were not
Speaker 2: able to get Tommy Edmond in after a great bump
Speaker 2: by Miguel Rojas. But like we mentioned earlier, Andy Paez
Speaker 2: has struggled in this postseason. Has not drawn a single walk,
Speaker 2: and he led off four different innings tonight, could not
Speaker 2: get on base to turn the lineup over to be
Speaker 2: on base for sho hey Otani, and we saw Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmund finish the game in centerfield with Miguel Rojas at
Speaker 2: second base. The final six innings of tonight's eighteen inning affair.
Speaker 2: Look if Tommy Edmund's right foot ankle is good enough
Speaker 2: to play center field and extra innings and he comes
Speaker 2: back tomorrow morning and says I could do it. To me,
Speaker 2: that makes the most sense to have Rojas started second
Speaker 2: and have Edmund start in center field.
Speaker 1: It really does.
Speaker 2: But I don't know the condition of his right ankle,
Speaker 2: his right foot, if he's gonna come back tomorrow and say, ah,
Speaker 2: it's really not feeling great after those six innings in extra.
Speaker 2: So that's the dilemma Dave Roberts has. But if his
Speaker 2: right foot, right ankle's responding and he's not limited as
Speaker 2: far as how much ground he could cover out there.
Speaker 2: I mean, he went back on a fly ball at
Speaker 2: the track and extra innings and caught it.
Speaker 7: So if he's physically.
Speaker 2: Sounding, can you know, do the job in center That's
Speaker 2: what I would do.
Speaker 7: It's it's no indictment on Andy pie Has.
Speaker 2: He's had a great year, but he's not the first
Speaker 2: rookie to be overmatched in the postseason. He was zero
Speaker 2: for five tonight and like I said, let off four
Speaker 2: different innings and couldn't get on base. It just it's
Speaker 2: just not working for him. He's four for forty eight
Speaker 2: in this postseason. At some point you've got to make
Speaker 2: the call and say, you know what, it's just not working.
Speaker 2: Have him as a thread off the bench for one
Speaker 2: swing if necessary. Eight six six nine, eight seven, two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Blue
Speaker 2: Jays six to five and eighteen innings tonight. Let's go
Speaker 2: out to Santa Paula. Adolfo, You're on Dodger Talk live

Speaker 25: We keep dodging bullets. But hey, we got Klein the man.
Speaker 25: You know what, Tommy Edman, rub some vapor up on that.
Speaker 25: You are playing center field.
Speaker 17: My bud, Mighi.
Speaker 25: Roja second base. We got this, We got this last thing.

Speaker 2: Dodgers walk it off thanks to Freddie Freeman in the
Speaker 2: eighteenth inning with the six to five win over the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays, and our caller wanted to know whether or
Speaker 2: not it was a record of how many men were
Speaker 2: left on base tonight.
Speaker 7: Yes, in more ways than one.
Speaker 2: The nineteen men left on base by the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: the most in World Series history. The eighteen men left
Speaker 2: on base by the Dodgers the second most in World
Speaker 2: Series history. A combined thirty seven men left on base tonight.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. We're gonna take more of your phone
Speaker 2: calls all the way to two am. But when we
Speaker 2: continue from Dodgers Stadium, we'll check in with Jose Mota.

Speaker 2: drained too. Calling eighteen innings. Dodgers, Freddie Freeman, Will Klimb,
Speaker 2: show Aotani and the rest of the twenty six beat
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays six to five and eighteen innings on
Speaker 2: a five to seventy l I Sports.

Speaker 2: games to one lead after Freddie Freeman's heroics tonight and

Speaker 2: and two am. You will hear our conversation again with
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman and also you'll hear from Mooki Betts.
Speaker 6: But first it's time to go around the horn with
Speaker 6: Jose Mota.
Speaker 2: All right, Jose Mota, what a night at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2: They talk about keyk Hernandez being mister October. I feel
Speaker 2: like Steven Nelson had it more accurate that Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: is mister World Series.
Speaker 17: Now, well, Dodger, He's a mister World Series.
Speaker 4: He also understands what it takes to win and to
Speaker 4: not get out there and be caught in something that
Speaker 4: he mentioned.
Speaker 15: It is very.
Speaker 4: Important that brain fog that really comes in in games
Speaker 4: like this because you're so exhausted, and managers has always
Speaker 4: told you, like hey, as a game goes along, don't
Speaker 4: get cut up, not anticipating not being focused, because a
Speaker 4: lot of times games like this are lost not on
Speaker 4: plays like this for home run, but on mistakes being made,
Speaker 4: especially with the bat or making poor decisions. But overall,
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman once again shows his class does not allow
Speaker 4: one at bat or frustration to carry into the next one.
Speaker 4: And with his father fred that present behind the plane,
Speaker 4: it couldn't just be a better story. I mean, what
Speaker 4: a finish again, some.
Speaker 2: Of those swings that Freddy was taken in his previous
Speaker 2: two or three at bats, it felt like he was
Speaker 2: just missing. And also the marine layer was cutting down
Speaker 2: those fly balls. Did you feel like he was getting
Speaker 2: good swings and it was only a matter of time
Speaker 2: for him to deliver.
Speaker 4: I did, and mainly because the foul ball. The foul
Speaker 4: balls to me tell me a lot, and Freeman has
Speaker 4: always told me that. He guys say, if I'm cutting
Speaker 4: to the ball and rolling, I'm being too rotation. Let's
Speaker 4: not good. But if I'm staying in, even if it
Speaker 4: seems like the ball beats me, I can make more
Speaker 4: justice from there. That's why it is important to watch
Speaker 4: guys like Freddie Freeman, Dave, if you know quite well,
Speaker 4: watch him want vp outside consistency, stays with a with
Speaker 4: a swing, understand when he does things wrong, and does
Speaker 4: not get cut up in any lonch Agles any exit
Speaker 4: of velocities, just being a good hitter, a pure hitter,
Speaker 4: and that's what he is who he is. Butternly is
Speaker 4: the game progressed. The wall is not caring. You cannot
Speaker 4: let that get into your head. Just put out there
Speaker 4: your best swing, your best at bad, your best focus,
Speaker 4: and things like that will happen more often than not.
Speaker 2: Jose, how incredible is it that Yamamoto would volunteer and
Speaker 2: insist on going to the bullpen just two days after
Speaker 2: pitching a complete game. I mean, we don't hear a
Speaker 2: lot from him, but that just speaks, volumes those actions.
Speaker 4: That just speaks to you about how he's built, and
Speaker 4: you know, speaks a lot about their culture, about the
Speaker 4: team unity and the thing that they learn as they
Speaker 4: grew up playing youth baseball, about not being all about
Speaker 4: you but what your team needs and if you're ready,
Speaker 4: you're ready, no excuses being made. But I mean, Dave goes,
Speaker 4: this goes back to feel mean, if you go back
Speaker 4: to the sixties and Sandy Colfax and drives of those guys,
Speaker 4: I mean, checking the ball and a game, an important
Speaker 4: game after two days of rest, it was like nothing,
Speaker 4: it was part of it. Now modern day baseball doesn't
Speaker 4: allow you to do that. Medically, you're not permitted to
Speaker 4: do that. But there's times in what you got to
Speaker 4: throw all that out and say, who do I have here,
Speaker 4: how's my team built? And who are the best candidates
Speaker 4: for me to uther and challenge to take the baseball
Speaker 4: or ask around a volunteer to do that. But it
Speaker 4: was just refreshing in this day and a states to
Speaker 4: see somebody that stature the largest contract for a picture
Speaker 4: ever to say it's not about Healthale and I was
Speaker 4: about my team. I understand my body, I know who
Speaker 4: I am, I know what I'm risking or not risking.
Speaker 4: I feel good, Give me the baseball, and obviously you
Speaker 4: may should. All hershows to him, he was like, oh,
Speaker 4: I got a pitch, Tod, Let's go out there and
Speaker 4: get it done. Even though Tommy didn't want to pitch.
Speaker 4: At one point he went to the bullpen and convince
Speaker 4: him and got some big outs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I thought of when I heard Yamamoto
Speaker 2: was warming up because I couldn't see the bullpen, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, Buster only said, yeah, that's Yamamoto.
Speaker 2: That's the first thing that came to my mind. How
Speaker 2: about show Heo Tani Tonight, Jose Mota. It felt like
Speaker 2: in the first nine innings of tonight's game, especially when
Speaker 2: he tied the game up with that home run in
Speaker 2: the seventh inning, that he was going to wield the
Speaker 2: Dodgers to a win tonight, no matter how many mistakes
Speaker 2: they made.
Speaker 4: Here's one thing about show here. Remember the last season,
Speaker 4: game number two, he got hurt and he almost was
Speaker 4: playing just you know, with half of his body with
Speaker 4: a shoulder issue. And I know that his mind coming
Speaker 4: into this little series was I need to be better
Speaker 4: and it's not about health. I needed to go out
Speaker 4: there and produce. And Dave, he always asked me about this,
Speaker 4: and you mentioned it yourself too. Is he brought again
Speaker 4: a different club to home play. It was the one
Speaker 4: that's looking for the home runs, the big, big old'
Speaker 4: swing cements and the pitch selection, which is a key
Speaker 4: like Freddie and his swing and the foul balls. Showy
Speaker 4: in his takes, the way he takes pitches, the way
Speaker 4: he's just stays inside of it. The velocity of the
Speaker 4: swing needs to be cut down sometimes and that is
Speaker 4: exactly what we saw today because everything was pretty much
Speaker 4: under control. When we see a guy hit a ball
Speaker 4: opposite field left center field on the first pitch against reliever,
Speaker 4: it tells you a lot about where he is, what
Speaker 4: he's looking for, and exactly how he feels in the
Speaker 4: battle slide, because it was one on which you let
Speaker 4: the ball get a little bit deeper and trust that
Speaker 4: if you make a pitch selection with your head and
Speaker 4: say I'm got to keep my head in this direction,
Speaker 4: this path right here, things are going to happen. And
Speaker 4: for him, I mean, he back spins the ball as
Speaker 4: better than anybody I've seen from the left side going
Speaker 4: the other way, And that was just another example. He
Speaker 4: does not need to swing very hard. He's amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, first extra base hit since September twentieth to the
Speaker 2: opposite field to left field tonight. He's pitching tomorrow. He
Speaker 2: kind of got checked on in extra innings. It looked
Speaker 2: like he was cramping, but obviously he was fine to
Speaker 2: stay in the game. How do you believe that plays
Speaker 2: into tomorrow because he's not just going to end.
Speaker 7: He has to pitch tomorrow as well.
Speaker 4: Right, that was a factor. Obviously it's going to be
Speaker 4: a factor tomorrow. The one thing we're going to watch
Speaker 4: for a show. Here is make sure that in situations
Speaker 4: like this, even though nobody's ever done it before, you know,
Speaker 4: play eighteen innings and then be the fisher the next
Speaker 4: day too. Is his mechanics.
Speaker 2: Can you say that again? I mean just say that again.
Speaker 2: Nobody show him that play eighteen innings.
Speaker 1: Start there.
Speaker 4: He got them based nine times. Okay, he scored three times,
Speaker 4: he got costealing one time, and tomorrow he is Oh tonight,
Speaker 4: he is your starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: He loves to sleep. Maybe he'll sleep right at the
Speaker 1: same time.
Speaker 4: He can't sleeve on. Look at four o'clock if you
Speaker 4: want to. But I just want to make sure the
Speaker 4: mechanically he is not cheap his body and compensating for
Speaker 4: things that are not there. So he needs to be
Speaker 4: in line with his body lined up to home play
Speaker 4: to make sure the legs are there.
Speaker 7: All right, that'll be something we'll keep an eye on.
Speaker 2: Jose sleep fast and can't wait to get back to
Speaker 2: the ballpark for Game four, Otani's first ever World Series
Speaker 2: start on the mound.
Speaker 4: Great job, David, wait to wait, you hit waited out.
Speaker 4: You're a teammate and you are great report. I know
Speaker 4: we know more now about what Kika did, and what
Speaker 4: they're doing for will climb down there and will climb
Speaker 4: my god, tip my hat, My goodness, you need those
Speaker 4: guys like we did last year with certain guys in
Speaker 4: that bullpen.
Speaker 1: I'll standing what a team effort. Thanks ose Hi.
Speaker 2: There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish
Speaker 2: radio broadcast all eighteen innings with Louis Cruz and certainly
Speaker 2: amazing when you take a step back and you just
Speaker 2: realize what Otani is attempting to do. Eighteen innings played,
Speaker 2: It's now almost two am. He has to turn around
Speaker 2: and pitch and be the game four starter, and he's
Speaker 2: expecting out of himself a great performance. The Dodgers need
Speaker 2: him after using every single reliever, some more than others,
Speaker 2: but somewhat of a short bullpen considering these three games
Speaker 2: are consecutive. Not ideal for either team to have an
Speaker 2: eighteen inning game at the beginning of a three in
Speaker 2: a row here at Dodgers Stadium, but that just re
Speaker 2: emphasizes the Blue Jays needing Shane Bieber to give them
Speaker 2: length and the Dodgers needing a guy that was on
Speaker 2: base nine times was thrown out stealing hit two home runs,
Speaker 2: hit two doubles, scored three times. Was all over this
Speaker 2: game tonight to start and be a dominant starting pitcher tomorrow.
Speaker 2: It's just incredible what they're asking and what he is
Speaker 2: going to demand out of himself tomorrow. Eight six six nine,
Speaker 2: eight seven two five point seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Heather, who was a Dodger stadium tonight. Hi, Heather,
Speaker 2: where were you sitting?
Speaker 18: Hey, Dave?
Speaker 9: We Oh my gosh. We flew out from Utah this morning,
Speaker 9: me and my family to come to the game and
Speaker 9: we were sitting in the top deck. We had great seats,
Speaker 9: great view. That game was unreal. I've never been to
Speaker 9: a World Series game in my entire life, and that
Speaker 9: game lived up to every single expectation I had and
Speaker 9: more I've I've called it many times and told you
Speaker 9: how much I love Freddy Freeman. He's my favorite player
Speaker 9: of all time, and I think the lucky stars that
Speaker 9: we got him from the braves and for him to
Speaker 9: deliver that Hollywood ending performance. And I looked at my
Speaker 9: family and I just said, Freddy's got to do it
Speaker 9: right now. He's got to and like the earlier callers said,
Speaker 9: it was just so poetic. And the one other moment
Speaker 9: that I just had to point out was I've never
Speaker 9: seen Clayton curse. I'll pitch live and I'm going to
Speaker 9: get a little emotional. That was an incredible experience for
Speaker 9: everybody in Dodger Stadium to see Clayton curse I'll go
Speaker 9: out and pitch in his final season in a World
Speaker 9: Series game, and it was just magical tonight.
Speaker 26: That's all I can say.
Speaker 9: It was just absolutely magical.
Speaker 1: It really was, Heather.
Speaker 2: And when I got back up to the booth after
Speaker 2: being on the field doing those interviews, first guy I
Speaker 2: ran into was John Smoltz, and the first thing he
Speaker 2: told me was, I'm so happy for Clayton Kershaw. I
Speaker 2: wanted him so badly to get out of that jam
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers because of just the false narrative over
Speaker 2: his postseason career, and everybody, whether if you're a Dodger
Speaker 2: fan or a Blue Jays fan or can't stand the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: you got to be a Kershaw fan and rooting for him.
Speaker 2: In that spot in the twelfth inning, with the bases loaded,
Speaker 2: Nathan Lucas he was able to battle and get the
Speaker 2: left hander to ground out to the right side and
Speaker 2: get out of that jam. And I feel like everybody
Speaker 2: was super excited, but also some of us that are
Speaker 2: really close to it maybe a little relieved.
Speaker 7: That he was able to get out of that.
Speaker 2: But I had to remind myself, we're not talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, some guy that they just added to the roster.
Speaker 2: This guy is one of the all time great pitchers
Speaker 2: ever in the game, not just because of the talent
Speaker 2: and the stuff, but the competitiveness. He was not going
Speaker 2: to allow Nathan Lucas to beat him. He was going
Speaker 2: to be super stubborn in that spot. And he had
Speaker 2: been warming up since the first or second inning. I
Speaker 2: saw him doing his yoga, usual pregame routine in the bullpen,
Speaker 2: so he was anticipating coming into this game at some
Speaker 2: point in time, and the previous three innings he was
Speaker 2: really warming up, ready to come in, but really happy
Speaker 2: for Kershat to get into the World Series number one
Speaker 2: and number two, to be able to deliver in his role,
Speaker 2: to be able to get one left handed hitter tonight
Speaker 2: in the twelfth inning with the game on the line,
Speaker 2: bases loaded, if he walks Lucas with the full count, the.
Speaker 1: Blue Jays may win this game.
Speaker 2: So there was no margin for error when Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 2: came into that game, and certainly even less with the
Speaker 2: full count and two outs and the bases loaded.
Speaker 7: So think about that as well.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like, Okay, if he walks him, he gets
Speaker 2: another guy. No, if he walks him, runs in and
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays may win that game in twelve innings.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to our guy, Craig. I Ray Craig
Speaker 2: in Long Beach. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Craig, Craig,
Speaker 2: you're still awake. Oh, Craig, you fell asleep. He's still there.
Speaker 2: I think you're snoring. Are you snoring?
Speaker 1: Craig? Clear the throw? Craig you there?
Speaker 26: Oh yeah something?
Speaker 2: Oh there you I thought you were asleep. I thought
Speaker 2: we heard just snoring.
Speaker 1: Craig.
Speaker 26: I you know what I got. I gotta hang up.
Speaker 26: I got it.
Speaker 20: Sounds like I gotta to two uh calls on the line.
Speaker 7: Okay, talk to you later, Craig.
Speaker 2: Geez, you got two calls on the line at one
Speaker 2: forty five.
Speaker 7: You held on for twenty minutes. That's wild.
Speaker 2: Hey, this is what life with Ben mallers like in
Speaker 2: the middle of the night right here. All right, let's

Speaker 2: run in the eighteenth inning tonight.
Speaker 1: What can you say about this one tonight?
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is all This is all pitching right here.
Speaker 5: Our bullpen was absolutely incredible. I mean you can go
Speaker 5: down the list everybody, but Will Climb four innings, that
Speaker 5: Guardo two innings.
Speaker 11: It just it's just on and on and on.
Speaker 5: This was uh, this was incredible, with a lot of
Speaker 5: opportunities early in the game that didn't come through.
Speaker 11: But glad we ever get this one.
Speaker 7: Freddie, what can you say about Will Klein?
Speaker 1: He set the stage for you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was uh, I mean four innings. I don't
Speaker 5: know if there's enough words we can really describe what
Speaker 5: he did today.
Speaker 11: Especially in your.
Speaker 5: First World Series game. Was that his first one day pitch? Yes,
Speaker 5: I don't know. This game is so long, I'm starting
Speaker 5: to I'm starting to lose it. But Will Kline, I
Speaker 5: think he threw like seventy pitches one ending guy and
Speaker 5: he goes out and does that there's got me win
Speaker 5: and goes, oh, y'all Motor Warriors.
Speaker 11: So glad we were able to keep.
Speaker 7: Him down before I let you go.
Speaker 2: How does this feel compared to last year's walk off
Speaker 2: rand slam?
Speaker 5: Well, this one, I mean they're about the same. I
Speaker 5: guess you know it's you had to walk off on
Speaker 5: round the World Series.
Speaker 11: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: So I'm just goat up to one now, eighteen innings, Freddy,
Speaker 2: thank you for standing.
Speaker 11: Thank you, David.
Speaker 2: There he goes Freddie Freeman, as you can hear in
Speaker 2: his voice, emotionally drained, physically drained after an eighteen inning
Speaker 2: marathon he had.
Speaker 7: I don't know, I.
Speaker 1: Mean he was.
Speaker 2: He was emotional, you could hear it in his voice,
Speaker 2: and how couldn't you be after a game like that,
Speaker 2: in delivering the way he did. Eight six, six, nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number. Let's
Speaker 2: go out to Frank, who was at Dodger Stadium tonight.
Speaker 2: Hi Frank, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4: Hey David.
Speaker 16: Uh yeah, man, love the energy that last.
Speaker 11: Caller and uh.
Speaker 16: Energy, Yeah, you're I was gonna say, I don't know
Speaker 16: if I'll you know, I don't really have the budget
Speaker 16: to buy World Serious tickets. I was gifted tickets today,
Speaker 16: you know, I'm so grateful for that. But I don't
Speaker 16: know if I'll ever go to another World Series game.
Speaker 16: But I surely know I'll never go to another one
Speaker 16: like that. So me and my sixteen year old flun
Speaker 16: we got to go. We're massive Dodger fans. It's that's
Speaker 16: how we Uh, it's one of our best things to
Speaker 16: do with baseball, and and uh, man, what an unforgettable
Speaker 16: and uh memorable experience, and it's so happy. A lot
Speaker 16: of us are sharing to sing sentiment on the way
Speaker 16: to car and the parking lot is, Man, you know
Speaker 16: you feel a lot better Ivan won that game like that,
Speaker 16: you know, that long, that many hours, then if you
Speaker 16: had lost it. And so we're so excited to have
Speaker 16: been there and got to share that experience with so
Speaker 16: many cool Dodger fans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Dodgers have the momentum in the World Series
Speaker 2: right now, but it can change quickly. And the Blue
Speaker 2: Jays are not going anywhere, but they're they're at a
Speaker 2: disadvantage being down two games to one and going to
Speaker 2: be without George Springer at least for tomorrow night, as
Speaker 2: he's gonna be undergoing an MRI on his right side.
Speaker 2: He tweaked it during his bat in the seventh inning.
Speaker 2: He couldn't continue. And the Dodgers have a lot of
Speaker 2: momentum with shoe he Otani on the mound tomorrow night,
Speaker 2: and certainly, you know they they did use a lot
Speaker 2: of different relievers and look the Dodger bullpen. A lot
Speaker 2: of people have not believed in them, has have discounted
Speaker 2: these group of guys. But at Gardo at Riquez, Emisian,
Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki, Jack Dryer, Justin Robleski, Anthony Banda Kershaw, I
Speaker 2: mean those guys can deliver for Dave Roberts. In these
Speaker 2: next two games, Dryer only needed to get one out
Speaker 2: trying and did give up the game tying hit. He
Speaker 2: only got one out, one out, Kershaw, one out. I
Speaker 2: mean Enriquez, he did pitch two scoreless, So you know,
Speaker 2: maybe he's off off limits tomorrow. Sasaki through twenty nine
Speaker 2: pitches and an inning in two thirds tonight. But trust me,
Speaker 2: if if three outs are needed, I don't see Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts hesitating going to the rookie right hander tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: You heard Stephen Nelson's call. How about Joe Davis saw
Speaker 2: him walk out? I mean I had a wave time
Speaker 2: and say, hey, Joe, you remember me? You know we
Speaker 2: worked together, you know with his fancy Fox friends. Now
Speaker 2: it's like I never existed. But here was Joe Davis
Speaker 2: on the call on Fox. We remember his call last year,
Speaker 2: Gibby meet Freddie. Here was this year's walk off home
Speaker 2: run call from our very own Joe Davis on Fox Sports.
Speaker 18: In Los Angeles, Collins, it's a five put a simple
Speaker 18: cool fur.
Speaker 1: Show's going back, all right.
Speaker 2: There is Joe Davis's call walk off home run for
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman. There you have it and certainly a great
Speaker 2: you know, that was the Chino type of energy right there.
Speaker 2: And I love Steven Nelson's call. He had a great
Speaker 2: call for us on five seventy l E Sports. He
Speaker 2: should be very proud of his call.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to.
Speaker 2: Jennifer who was at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi Jennifer, you're
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talker.
Speaker 9: Hi David, thank you for taking my call. I was
Speaker 9: at behind a home plate screaming as two trying to
Speaker 9: say hello to you earlier.
Speaker 7: Oh and I can't believe I missed that, Jennifer. I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: Petros was in my way.
Speaker 16: I know, David.
Speaker 21: I've been asking you for the past couple of years
Speaker 21: how my boys feeling, and you always.
Speaker 25: Come through, and you always give me the polls, and
Speaker 25: I just want to say thank you. You called me
Speaker 25: off the edge when I thought the.
Speaker 4: Giants were gonn sweep them and take over the divisions.
Speaker 9: You've calmed me off the edge since twenty fifteen when
Speaker 9: I started listening regularly.
Speaker 21: And I just want to say thank you, and I
Speaker 21: want to know how my boys are feeling into the
Speaker 21: game tomorrow.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be ready to go.
Speaker 2: They'll be feeling good, Jennifer, be ready for a three
Speaker 2: games to one lead in the World Series. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be tough for the Blue Jays to pick themselves up,
Speaker 2: also knowing there without George Springer, but they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: I think we've all learned that it's not going to
Speaker 2: be easy and the Dodgers have got to be ready
Speaker 2: for another fight tomorrow night.
Speaker 20: Ah what it came to be at.
Speaker 16: Thank you, David.
Speaker 17: I can't wait to listen to this again all my
Speaker 17: way to work tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, Jennifer. I appreciate that loyal listener right there.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six seven two five seventy is the phone
Speaker 2: number you know before or after game one. Since we're
Speaker 2: talking about Yama Moto, I wanted to bring this up
Speaker 2: considering Yamamoto went out to the bullpen tonight and was
Speaker 2: ready to come in for the nineteen after pitching a
Speaker 2: complete game, the second consecutive complete game of his postseason starts.
Speaker 2: Remember pitched one in the National League Championship Series. Game
Speaker 2: two comes back. Game two pitches a complete game against
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays in their house, and then tonight ready
Speaker 2: to go for the nineteenth inning.
Speaker 7: On one day's rest.
Speaker 2: Here was Jeet, as New Yorkers call him, Jeet, Jeet,
Speaker 2: You're the greatest, Jeet, Jeet, whatever you say, it's the gospel, Jeet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Derek Jeter on Fox Sports.
Speaker 2: Here is Derek Jeter, who is a great player, but
Speaker 2: maybe not so great at a broadcaster and not really
Speaker 2: knowing the people that he's covering.
Speaker 1: Yamamoto threw a complete game.
Speaker 11: He's not gonna throw on tomorrow night, He's not.
Speaker 7: Can we play that again? That was after game one.
Speaker 1: Yamamoto threw a complete game.
Speaker 11: He's not gonna throw on tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: He's not.
Speaker 7: Oh really, really, Jeet, hey, Gita, Jita, really he pitched one?
Speaker 2: And I have been told you did not have Amya
Speaker 2: Kopa after game two and his complete game?
Speaker 1: Did you have one? Tonight?
Speaker 2: Jet, Hey, Jita, Gita, you're gonna say that you were
Speaker 2: wrong about Yamamoto. Any of your guys go out there
Speaker 2: on one day's rest ray to pitch the nineteenth inning
Speaker 2: after pitching two consecutive complete games in the postseason. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is La Jeter. What you did in pinstripes means
Speaker 2: nothing here. This is the new Dynasty.
Speaker 1: Buddy.
Speaker 2: He used to call everybody buddy, never knew their name buddy.
Speaker 2: He pitched two complete games, Jeet, and was ready to
Speaker 2: go for the nineteenth inning. So how about a public
Speaker 2: apology on the pregame show tomorrow on Fox Sports, just
Speaker 2: saying you're wrong, you were wrong about Yamamoto and you
Speaker 2: underestimated the type of warrior and competitor.
Speaker 1: He is on the mound. That'll do it for us
Speaker 1: tonight on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you guys staying up with us until two
Speaker 2: am tomorrow or later today show.
Speaker 1: Hey O Tawni.
Speaker 2: After a historic night being on base nine times, having
Speaker 2: two doubles and two home runs, will be starting his
Speaker 2: first ever World Series game, Game four, against Shane Bieber,
Speaker 2: who is also warming up for a possible nineteenth inning
Speaker 2: that never came. Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck begins at
Speaker 2: four o'clock, first pitch at five oh five. Coming up
Speaker 2: in four hours. Tim Kits and Steve Sachs will be
Speaker 2: with you with more Dodger talks. So you know, I
Speaker 2: could say we could stay here until six am. What
Speaker 2: do you guys think want to stay till six I
Speaker 2: guess not. I could talk more about Jeter being wrong
Speaker 2: and never apologizing to Yamamoto. I mean, Yamamoto was on
Speaker 2: the set. I didn't hear him say like, I didn't
Speaker 2: think you could throw a complete game again?
Speaker 7: A jeet find me tomorrow. I got the receipts.
Speaker 2: Thanks to Colin Ye back at our burbanks to videos,
Speaker 2: thanks to Dwayne McDonald out here at Dodgers Stadium, and
Speaker 2: thanks to you loyal listeners, loyal Dodger fans hanging in
