But right now, brought to you by 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:49.200 Concordia University, Irvine, Masters and Coaching. It's a final hour 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:49.880 fun fact. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.959 It's fun effect, It's yeah, we're three fun fas sp 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.399 A coach has more influence on others in one year 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.200 than an average person does in a lifetime. Make the 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.600 most of that opportunity. He'd impact others by finding out more. 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:07.040 It's CUI dot edu slash coaching Philadelphia. The template for 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.400 what would become the layout for nearly every major American 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.520 city was in fact drawn up by William Penn all 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.320 the way back in sixteen eighty two, despite being fifty 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:23.400 years later than New York and Boston. Penn's grid, a 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.440 perfect rectangle that included number streets running east and west, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.240 lettered streets running north and south, one hundred foot wide avenues, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.360 room for trees to keep everything green and uniform perfectly 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:41.240 spaced plots of land is what our major cities looked 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.960 like moving forward. The center had a large square, Each 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.000 quadrant had its own public square for five total, and 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.240 it's supplanted. Up to that time. What was the chaotic 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.960 alley system of European cities and something you routinely feel 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.560 if you go to bo stay out of the elk, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.640 something I rutuinely feel if I go to Boston. Yeah, 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.400 when you're in Boston, it's just wonkey and there's one 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.040 ways and there are these tight little alley roads, whereas 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:15.040 here Philadelphia Chicago grid system wide open. It is time. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.680 But yes, the end of the alleys for quick hits 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.200 to the MS, quick hits. I'll make it quick, y'all. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.040 Yeah, the Dodgers are too, and oh they lead the NLDS. Oh, 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.719 they're going through a workout right now at Dodgers Stadium 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:33.880 before tomorrow's game three. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.960 Lawyers. Here is the immortal Dave Roberts. Oh you forget 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.039 that he put trying it in. Who cares? Here he 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.880 is with it seems like a really questionable decision. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.440 Here he is with the media. I believe in you, Blake. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.560 Here he is with the media. A few minutes ago. 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.280 We have to win X amount of more games and 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.760 he's not going to close every game. It's just not feasible. 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.479 So you've got to use other guys. And so, but 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.400 I think that to the question, yeah, if it, if 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.400 it makes sense, hit, he'll definitely be finishing games. This 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.400 is something he's never done and you're expecting to go 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.080 a few more weeks, and so all that stuff has 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.159 to play in that. A lot of people just don't 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.920 have any appreciation for. That's everything. You know. If if 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.800 there is a world where you can use five pitchers 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:21.600 and finish a postseason and when the postseason, I think 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.520 a lot of people would sign up for that. That's impossible. 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.800 So you've got to use your roster at certain times 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.760 and kind of pick spots where you feel best and 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.640 live with whatever outcome. But you know, that's just the 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.200 way it goes in to win for us this year 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.839 thirteen games in October, but very row frame question and 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.080 you know, but yeah, the more you see guys and 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.560 give guys opportunities, you see how they respond and it 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.400 certainly helps my decision making going forward. It doesn't do 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.760 a whole lot outside of MAXI being the lineup. You know, 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.440 I don't Migey Row won't be in there. Then I've 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.200 got are going to make the decision on Will versus 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.000 Ben to start the game, But that has no bearing 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.520 on who the starting pitcher is for them. I think 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.920 the main thing is we've attacked those guys. We haven't 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.359 been scared off using the fastball. I think we crowd 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.760 them just enough. I think we go soft just enough, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.599 and I think we change high levels. So up to 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.719 this point, we've done a really nice job of keeping 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.599 those guys at base. So we still got some work 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.040 to do and you know, try to keep those guys asleep. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:37.640 I don't feel like there was you know, a lot 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.839 of social media push like, hey, that's a great idea, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.159 Like I really like what he's doing here. This makes 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.200 perfect sense to me. I just didn't feel like, even 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.120 before the mess was created, anybody felt really good about that. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.520 Yeah, I guess I could say the same thing. When 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.520 I saw him trotting out there, I was a little surprised. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.200 Oh no, the Lakers are back in practice today, same 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.599 day the Lebron James just tease the world that he 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:03.960 was going to make a big decision. 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.400 He's a good picker, but he's radio Lebron doesn't seem 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:09.680 to really be able to read the room. No, no, 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.120 you know, the decision was one of the worst decisions 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.280 you ever made in your career. It really kind of 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.120 shifted the trajectory, trajectory of you been one of the 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:21.880 most likable superstars in the world to become one of 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.680 the most vilified hated individual players in the world. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.560 JJ said that nobody was freaking out about the expected 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.360 decision today and as far as actual practice and play, 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.200 it didn't matter. JJ was asked about Lebron and Luka 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:43.760 Doocich's modified participation in practice. He called it load management. 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.600 Don't you have to practice with the players that play. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.640 Seems like it would, uh, you know, go a long 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.880 way if you were able to build that chemistry and 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.720 kind of get a vibe for how everybody else plays 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:55.360 and moves around. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.480 Now, this doesn't really jibe with the highlights I saw, 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.440 But when asked about the development of Bronnie James from 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.320 last year, JJ said, he's comfortable and more confident. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.559 He's a pro. I believe he was one for twelve 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:14.440 last night, and I believe if you logged onto ESPN 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:19.720 dot com, they had Bronnie's clutch three, not exaggerating, not 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.600 in bellishing. If you went to the NBA page, there 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.040 was a The video that played when you clicked on 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.720 the NBA tab was Bronnie James hitting a three with 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:35.080 the caption that says Bronnie sinks clutch three. He was 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:39.319 one for twelve and they lost. Yeah, but that was 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.800 a clutch three right there. Man. I'd like to play 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.040 some JJ from practice today, but you tell me if 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.680 this is audible or not. Thank you everybody. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:51.679 You just more comfortable last year his development. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.640 Yeah, that's what the Lakers put out there. No, this 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.600 is one of the b writers. Can we stop shooting 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.880 while this is happening? It's a good squeak on those shoes. 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:08.040 It's really good track. I can't hear a damning. Those 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:09.839 guys are really getting those shoes nice and clean. I 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.120 bet they're spitting on them and really getting them cleaned up, 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:25.600 like not one thing. Yeah, there's obviously still. 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.680 Room for broke in certain areas. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:27.760 But. 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.680 I can say with great certainty that do not care 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.440 a lick about Brownie James. To listen through the squeaks 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.320 and dribbles, like, hey, if it's even if it was 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.520 just straight audio, like if it were something kind of 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.160 like hey, Luca blew his knee out, and here's JJ 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.280 giving you the rundown of what happened in practice. Okay, 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.200 maybe I'll try to listen through that to hear what's 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:52.120 going on. But a summary of where Bronnie is in 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.200 his career now. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and take 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:54.640 a pass. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.600 The Chargers are in Miami on Sunday with Matt Smith 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.880 to take on the Dolphins. They made a trade today 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:05.000 with the Ravens acquiring edge udafe Away and the future 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.800 seventh round pick who will know at some point for 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:12.280 safety former Petrosen money guest Aloie Gilman and a twenty 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:13.880 twenty six fifth round pick. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.000 Interesting. Yeah. Gilman, who had kind of been was the 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.840 glue of the defense last year, felt like he was 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.560 supplanted by Tony Jefferson as kind of the better player 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.240 at that position with Elijah Molden as the other safety, 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.040 and they needed an edge. It looks as though it 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.480 probably means Khalil Mack is nowhere near returning Tooley's been great, 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.199 but that other edge they've been looking for answers, and 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.200 it's kind of that side where they've been getting really 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:39.240 hammered against the run. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.840 Rams travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens on Sunday. 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.880 Former Ravens quarterback Flacco got traded to another. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.560 Team, yeah, from the Browns after being demoted. Dylan Gabriel 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.680 had a nice game even though they lost, so he 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.360 will be the starter moving forward. See what that means 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.080 for Shadur's pressers, because I think you always want your 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.720 backup quarterback to be the center of the media attention 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.560 in the locker room. But Flacco goes to the Bengals, 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.719 Jake Browning has had a couple rough weeks, and Joe 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.439 Burrow is not going to be back until December. They 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.240 fined Jerry Jones for what two hundred. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:15.760 And fifty thousand dollars for his inadvertent obscene gesture towards 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.280 fans at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. Just that my middle 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.240 finger just got stuck, Cowboys, said Jones will appeal the fine. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.840 Videos on social media show Jones quickly flashing his middle 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.880 finger late in the cowboys thirty seven to twenty two 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.400 victory over the New York Jets. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.400 Now you are a you're a big proponent of extending 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.679 your middle finger the proper way. That's not what Jones did. 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.840 It was just like a wait, whoop, yep, it's a 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:46.120 real quick just maybe it wasn't. Inverton, I swear my 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.280 finger just got stuck. Do you guys fold down the 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.600 fingers and put the thumb out? I bet you do. Yeah, 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.880 you fold in that thumb. I knew Kates would be 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.440 this guy folded in Ucla, didn't fold it in against 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:58.040 Penn State. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:58.280 Man. 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.040 They came back and now they travel to East Lansing, 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.000 where I've did this year, to take on Michigan State. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.720 How's that schedule laying out for him? What do they 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.400 got going? Nice? Little one o'clock in the afternoon, nine 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:16.760 am kick Pacific time? Just big ten schedule. Things really 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.120 working out for these guys, isn't it. 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.240 Spartans are an eight and a half point favorite. Look, 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:21.240 you get paid for this. 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.040 Now you've paid a lot of money, guys, all to 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.280 your sleep schedule, joll I got to be going to 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:27.680 bed at eight pm. Moving forward. 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.760 Practice in the morning anyway, I don't see what the 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.400 big deal is, right Like, USC practices in the morning 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.400 and then then we're bitching about playing at nine am 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.240 in Illinois. It's like, well, don't you practice in the 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:38.479 morning for the last. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.240 Play more games than at the window than you do 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:41.200 the afternoon window. 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.880 USC's four and one, two and one in the Big 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:48.120 ten home versus Michigan on Saturday. Danny Canell thinks they 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.680 might have a chance to win that one They're a 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.480 two and a half point favorite and Matt. Things are 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.959 getting worse at Chapel Bill. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.960 Yeah, two and three. They have lost their first three 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:03.920 games versus their power for opponents. Yeah, combined score is 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:09.160 one twenty to thirty three, So if you're keeping score 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.679 at home, that is nearly ninety points. Eighty seven points 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.800 is the difference in their three power for opponents. They 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.120 just got blown out by Clemson, who was searching for 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.160 answers and what looks to be a lost season. And 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.359 today the report is that North Carolina is no longer 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:33.640 moving forward with the in season documentary that is to 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.719 be aired on Hulu. We will not be able to 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.959 see all the behind the scenes stuff within the program 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.680 that they thought was going to do so much for 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.280 the Bill Belichick era of North Carolina football in recruiting, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.840 in nil in exposure, and instead they have simply pulled 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.960 the plug. I don't know about the merchandise that his 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.600 lady friend Jordan has put together, whether or not that 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:03.079 stuff's moving Chapel Bill to do your jobs, all that 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:07.200 sort of stuff, but it certainly seems like it might 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.640 have been a mistake. Yeah, it seems like that situation 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.360 seemed like it was going really well for him in 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.480 the media. People seem to like him on the Maning 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.840 Cast and it's like, oh, it is Bill Belichick. This 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.560 is a new, softer kind of funny. Knows a lot 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.880 about football and it's just chopping it up. Well, he 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:27.960 last year. He can always land back though. In Foxboro, though, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.360 they have open arms for him. No what Yeah they 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:35.000 burn that bridge. Yeah here, your Scotch can't come watch 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.600 my players. Well we'll be right back. But hey, I'm 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.760 on my twenty four year old age.

Thank you Dave, and thank you for joining us. 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.960 We are so happy to have you and welcome home. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.360 Thank you. I'm out here at Dodgers Stadium. The Phillies 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.720 are doing their part of their workout. They landed this 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.160 morning in Los Angeles or this afternoon in Los Angeles. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.680 Bryce Harper everyday train taking batting practice out here. Bryce 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.439 Harper actually said he loves coming to Los Angeles. He 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.960 grew up a big Dodger fan in Las Vegas. He 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.840 actually was one of the players that showed up in 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.840 the press box on one of his visits to say 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:20.200 goodbye to Vince Scully. And the Phillies are wearing their 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.760 baby Blues throwback seventies uniforms for these two games. The 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.360 players went to their manager and said, hey, we want 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.160 to wear these in LA So that's what they got 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.440 on and that's what you'll see tomorrow night, Dave. 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.320 Since we're starting Phillies, what's the idea behind Aaron Nola. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.520 You look at the numbers and he's zero and six 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:40.920 with a seven era on the road this year. How 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.960 does that sort of jibe with the idea that the 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.000 Phillies are going up against perhaps the guy you could 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.240 say is the ace of the Dodger staff and Yamamoto. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.080 Hey, the Phillies beat writers and media where Pepper and 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.400 Rob Thompson about that? Just about a half hour ago 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.800 in the press conference room quizzing him on why Nola 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.960 is the guy and not Ranger Suarez. And his explanation 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.840 was that Nola was good in his last start and 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.760 he has more faith in him basically starting the game tomorrow. 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.000 Everybody's questioning this decision. Ranger Suarez will come out of 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.760 the bullpen for the Phillies at some point, but a 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.439 lot of the Philly media are asking the same question, 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.080 why isn't Ranger Suarez starting the game? And could it 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.080 be similar to their clothes? Are Joean Duran coming into 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.440 the first two games when it was mop up times? 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.040 How upset were people? I mean, We've been playing some 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.600 clips from some Philly media and it's kind of hard 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.920 to imagine that they get that angry and that unhim 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:52.280 swinging at trash, swinging at vomit. Yeah, do you find 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.720 that all around the town, Dame? I mean mostly you 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.199 go around to town and it's I mean, you know, 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.720 it's not as crazy as we would imagine or we 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:05.200 will purport on radio or TV, But do you get 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.000 that vibe? I mean, are they that insane? 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.159 Things change? The mood of that city changed. After the 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.720 Eagles lost their game to the Broncos on Sunday, I 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.639 was out just trying to get some dinner walking and 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.199 there were a lot of angry people out there. A 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:26.080 very uneasy city. I agree with you, unhinged city. A 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.320 bad sports weekend in Philadelphia with the Sillies losing both 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.520 home games and the Eagles making everybody sad on Sunday. 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:38.720 So yeah, it is a very It's weird how emotional 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:42.560 and how they allowed the mood of their day change 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.720 over one football game or one baseball game. I know 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.879 the East Coast is different, but it just seems a 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.720 little extreme to me. And after tomorrow night, they're going 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:54.880 to be really sad when these baby Blues packing home 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:56.200 back to Philadelphia. 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.960 Is U was Rob Thomas that bad? 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:06.320 Well? I mean he made some I don't everybody's second 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.119 guessing him on why he had stot a left handed 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.960 hitter bunt in that situation. But look, it took a 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.680 great play by Mookie Betts and Maximunths he to get 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.720 Castianos out. If he's there safe, nobody's second guessing him. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.439 But a lot of people around baseball were also wondering 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.600 the same thing. Why would he have stot bunt in 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.359 that situation instead just allowing him to try to hit 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.720 the ball to the right side or get a fly 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:34.240 ball in that situation. So right now, Rob Thompson is 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.600 under fire for the decision to have Aaron Nola pitch 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:42.639 tomorrow and also that decision to have stopped bunt in 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.919 that situation. And also, guys, you know Joe on Duran, 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.760 the game was on the line in the seventh inning 0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.000 last night and he chose not to use him try 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.880 to use them in a classic closer style. A lot 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.040 of people were wondering that as it was happening in 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:56.640 real time. 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.760 You mentioned a bunt, Dave, you're very close with with 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:04.520 He had a really cool elongated answer in the post 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.720 game about how that whole thing came together. You're with 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.840 this team all the time, Like, how hard is it 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.840 to execute that play? Do in fact they ever practice it? 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.760 Whose idea was it? Like, give us everything you got 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.399 on it, because it certainly seems like the play of 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:17.720 the night. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.160 Yeah. Well, Number one, the Dodgers have not practiced it 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:26.040 since spring training. Number two, the last time they even 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:30.080 talked about it or executed it was when the Dodgers 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.560 were in Anaheim in the middle of the summer, and 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.600 it was Miguel Rojas that initiated that, and last night 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.120 Mookie Betts told us after the game that he remembered 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.000 that play and that conversation, and as the Dodgers were 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:47.200 making the pitching change with alex Vestia, Mookie Betts was 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.200 the one that came up with that idea and insisted 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.680 that they're going to bunt and we've got to execute 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.800 this wheel play. We've got to do the wheel play. 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.720 It was all Mookie Betts. It wasn't Dave Roberts, it 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:02.639 wasn't Miguel Rojas, it wasn't Max Munsey, but everybody was 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.080 on board. So credit Mookie Beds, who is in his 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:09.560 first full year playing that position at shortstop, that decided 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:13.399 that that game change in play needed to take place, 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.680 and it paid off. They executed it without Monsey's throw, 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.160 without Mookie selling it the way he did. That game 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:21.520 goes upside down. 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.920 And feels like something if the Dodgers go a lot 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:30.119 further that we will remember going forward as a pivotal moment. 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:33.680 David Vasse is our guest. Rob Thompson, I'm sorry, I 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.240 thought it was the guy from Matchbox twenty who's gotten 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:37.400 into baseballs three. 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:39.280 Al must be lonely. 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:43.679 And I said, baby, we've been doing a lot of 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.120 singing here today, DAB. A lot of people are very 0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:49.400 excited about the Dodgers and you coming home. But one 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.160 thing that's kind of been lost with all the late 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:59.080 game chaos is Blake Snail's performance again and just how 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.000 locked in that guy is right now. I know it's 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.159
