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

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.

00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: It's winning it again this Yearning is.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000

Speaker 4: on deck and joining us now. The Dodger Insider, the

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 4: guy that you go to for all the latest Dodger information,

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 4: and we're lucky to have him right here on AMFI seven,

37
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: ELA Sports. You see him on Sports and at LA

38
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 4: as well, and of course MLB networked at as the

39
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: one and only David Vase. David last night certainly didn't

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: go the way that Yamamoto and the Dodgers wanted. They

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 4: had opportunity after opportunity until it got away from him.

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 4: But how confident do you feel about this Dodgers team

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: able to bounce back? Today, the way the offense is

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: is kind of struggling.

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yesterday it was struggling. But they had

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: scored four or more runs in thirteen straight postseason games,

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: including the first two of this series. So, like you said,

48
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: they had a great opportunity in the very first sitting

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: to get to Aaron Nola. They missed it, and unfortunately

50
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: ta Oscar Hernandez got a little overzealous with his swings there.

51
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: All they needed was a base hit or a ground

52
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: ball to the right side to get Mookie Bets in

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: and you have an early one nothing lead. They needed

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: to get to Aaron Nola before Ranger Suarez came in.

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: That would have changed the complexion of the game and

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: just the way the direction of the second part of

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 2: that game went. And for the second straight game, poor

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: defense by the Dodgers. To me, that's morgan earning than

59
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: the offense having an off night and Yamamoto uh not

60
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: not pitching well after Schwarber hit that mammoth home run.

61
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: The Dodgers need to be better defensively because they haven't

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: been very good the last two games of the series.

63
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: David, good to be with you.

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 6: I hope you have if if in fact, it gets

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 6: to the game going to Philly, which I don't think

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 6: it's going to but I hope you just don't go

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 6: there without any clothes.

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you got to pack something. Bro Okay, anyway.

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: I'm not packing, Steve.

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 6: I got you show hey at the at the top

71
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 6: of the order. To me, you know, it looks like

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 6: he's trying to do a lot. The guy carries a

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 6: lot on his shoulders. You know, he's Uh, is there

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 6: any talk that you've heard, maybe internally, that he's working

75
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: on something now to try to to maybe just go

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 6: the other way a little bit, maybe just take what

77
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 6: the pitcher gives you, whatever it is. You know, all

78
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: these things are magnified. But I'm I'm curious as too.

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 6: Is him just trying to do too much maybe and

80
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 6: to carry everything on his shoulders, which isn't fair to him.

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: He's so competitive, Steve, and he wants to be able

82
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: to carry the Dodgers. That's how competitive he is. He

83
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: feels like nothing is too great of a mountain to climb,

84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: or any picture is an obstacle to him, or any

85
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: hitter is an obstacle to him. But Dave Roberts did

86
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: say after the game last night, that he believes his

87
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: struggles is because of poor swing decisions, and when shohe

88
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: tries to go too big and swings out of his shoes,

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: it doesn't go well. So the Dodgers are hoping that

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: he can just I mean sounds like you've seen this before. Yeah,

91
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: maybe he shouldn't try to do so much. And you know,

92
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: Otani has been a really good teammate with team at

93
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: bats in the past, moving the runner over with a

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: ground ball to the right side. He's done that at

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: times and he needs to get back to that, and

96
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers need him. They can't go the rest of

97
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: the postseason with shoey Otani only having one hit in

98
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: the series, so they did Otani to get it going.

99
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: They need Freddy Freeman to find it. You know, Freddy

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: has told me multiple times he takes batting practice on

101
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: the field when he's looking for his swing. And I

102
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: have seen him take batting practice on the field before

103
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: each in one of these first three games of the series.

104
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: So hopefully it's starting to click for him.

105
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: As as bad as it ended last night, David with

106
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 4: an a two loss. It was a three to one game.

107
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: They had the opportunities. We talked about Max Months. He

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 4: had runners on first and second grounded into a double play.

109
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: Clayton Kershaw came in and got out of that seventh

110
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: inning without giving up a run. Some balls hit right

111
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: at guys, which was fortunate, and he comes back out

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: for the eighth INNY One were you surprised that you

113
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: saw him come back out there for the eighth inning?

114
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: And two?

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 4: Were could they have gone to a different guy's lake

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: trying it earlier in that eighth inning to keep it

117
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: at a three to one game, Because it felt like

118
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: at that point Dave Roberts had to make a decision,

119
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: did we stick with Kerrshaw because we don't want to

120
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: go to our high leverage guys down three to one

121
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 4: and let's just wait for our offense to go and

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 4: get gone because at that point you don't want to

123
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 4: burn your guys for a game four.

124
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: It was kind of a tough situation for Dave.

125
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Roberts, it was. And I had no issues with him

126
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: going back out to the eighth inning. That's his role.

127
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: He's a guy that is going to pitch multiple innings.

128
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: Uh So for him to go back out for the

129
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: eighth inning was not surprising with the Dodgers down three

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: to one, you don't want to burn emit sheen like

131
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: you said, Blake trending, Is he really gonna go two innings?

132
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: You know, two innings plus everybody all of a sudden

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: wants Blake Trenton in the game after everybody's been tearing

134
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: him down for the last two months. Uh So he

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: had no options. You know who would have been the

136
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: right guy to come in there to get Kershaw out

137
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: was Tanner Scott, but Tanner's was not at the stadium.

138
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: He was not introduced because Dave Roberts said he was

139
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: not at the game because of personal reasons. That would

140
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: have been the guy to bring in if you wanted

141
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: to get Kershaw out in that type of situation, Which

142
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: brings me to another question. Do the Dodgers decide that

143
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: they need to replace Tanner Scott on the postseason on

144
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 2: the NLDS roster before today's game or do they feel

145
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: like they can get away with it because he probably

146
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: wouldn't pitching this type of game. But if there's another

147
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: blowout situation and you don't want to use any of

148
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: your high leverage relievers in any direction, don't you need

149
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: a guy to kind of clean that up late in

150
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: the game. So I feel like that's something the Dodgers

151
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: may be considering before Game four, whether or not they

152
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: have to replace Tanner Scott because of the personal reasons

153
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: that has kept them kept him away from the team

154
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: the last couple of days.

155
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good point.

156
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 6: Point, David wanted to ask you, or maybe just make

157
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 6: a comment and see what your thoughts are on glasnow

158
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 6: starting this game. I think he's I think he's gonna

159
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 6: be rested. He's fine, he's well suited and all that

160
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 6: physically ready. I think he gives the Dodgers, to me,

161
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 6: the best chance of mitigating that. That the middle of

162
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 6: the order power with Schwarber and Harper and the thing

163
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 6: about him, he just has to pitch his normal game.

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 6: He doesn't have to try to go in the fringes

165
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 6: of the plate. That big curveball in and of itself,

166
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 6: changes the eye angle tremendously on these guys, which opens

167
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 6: up the lower part of the strike zone for him

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 6: and enables his fastball to pitch on all four quadrants

169
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 6: of the plate. He just buckles these guys with that

170
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 6: hook that starts over their head and comes down the

171
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 6: middle of the plate. They still can't hit it because

172
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 6: it's got great depth to it and it's got a

173
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 6: vicious break. So in my opinion, this is their best

174
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 6: opportunity right now with Glasnow in the matchups, he matches

175
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 6: up great against this lineup.

176
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, when he's on his game, he's everything that you said.

177
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: The only question at times this season is when maybe

178
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: he's getting too much into his head, maybe overthinking the mechanics,

179
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: and when he does that, it starts to unravel quickly.

180
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: They need Tyler Glass Now to set the tone early

181
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 2: in this game. He needs to put up the zero,

182
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: be dominant like he has been since he came off

183
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: the IL. He's been a different guy since coming off

184
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: the IL. I'm talking specifically about being more of a

185
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: competitor on the mound. When things don't feel perfect for him,

186
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: he still battles and that's what they need out of

187
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: him today. And it's been a while since he started

188
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: a game. He hasn't started a game since the last

189
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 2: series of the regular season in Seattle, and that was

190
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: a unabbreviated start, three innings, thirty six pitches. I know

191
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: he did pitch and relief earlier in this series, but

192
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: this will be the first time he has started a

193
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: game in nearly ten days, so he is well rested

194
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: and he should be able to give the Dodgers everything

195
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 2: they need tonight, David.

196
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: Last thing for me, Andy Pajes has struggled mightily in

197
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: this postseason and it was on display again last night.

198
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: And even on defense. What has he got to do

199
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: to turn things around? It feels like, you know, he's

200
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 4: got to be one of these guys in the you know,

201
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: middle part, bottom part of the lineup to produce and

202
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: whether it's a home run, get get on base.

203
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 3: He just hasn't done anything.

204
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you want to talk about a guy trying

205
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: to do too much, that's Andy pas The swings, the

206
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: quality of that bats are completely a guy trying to

207
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: do too much and they're ending way too quickly in

208
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: a bad way. Defensively, he hasn't played well either. He's

209
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: given up extra bases. He unwisely tried to throw out

210
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper at third base instead of just getting the

211
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: ball back to the infield, and that costs the Dodgers

212
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: not just one run, but two runs. And we saw

213
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: Alex Call start Game one of this series against Christopher Sanchez,

214
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: and he had good at bats against him, and he's

215
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: had good success against Sanchez in the past. I don't

216
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: doubt for a second that Alex call is going to

217
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: be in this starting lineup. And there's a very good

218
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: chance that Andy pater Has starts this game on the bench.

219
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 6: Good David, you know the games as they're playing out now.

220
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 6: You surely don't want to go back to Philadelphia. You

221
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 6: want to end this thing now in the right situation

222
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: with I'm saying, if the Dodgers are head by one

223
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 6: run or two runs late in the game, do they

224
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 6: throw everything in their pitching staff at this team to

225
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 6: try to nail this thing down, even if it comes

226
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,119
Speaker 6: to matching up hitter for hitter for the last.

227
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 5: Say, six outs.

228
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 6: Do they do this to avoid the possibility of going

229
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 6: back there or how much do they throw at this

230
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 6: team as far as a pitching is going. If we're

231
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 6: ahead late in the game.

232
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Shean's on the table, Steve, he'll be ready

233
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: to go for three innings. I feel like and Roki

234
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: Sasaki an extra day of rest yesterday where it was

235
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: in a safe situation. So I feel like the Dodger

236
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: pitching staff is in a good spot. Alex Vesia never

237
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: warmed up last night, so he's been a key, high

238
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: leverage reliever. So the three key relievers for the Dodgers, Vesia, Shean,

239
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: and Sasaki are well rested. And I would not think

240
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 2: for a second that Dave Roberts wouldn't hesitate to go

241
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: to any one of those three guys. So yeah, I

242
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 2: mean when you talk about the kitchen sink, Blake Snell's

243
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: not pitching today, but those three guys will be.

244
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: David as always.

245
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, one other thing to keep in mind. Talking to

246
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 2: no More and Jeff Francore yesterday before the game, they

247
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: said today's game for the outfielders is going to be

248
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: very challenging, especially the right fielders. Three o'clock at Dodger

249
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: Stadium side of the field, it's gonna be tough for

250
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 2: the out of the right fielders to see the ball.

251
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: You saw Castianos almost miss one in the first inning

252
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: last night, So that's something to keep in mind from

253
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: two guys that have experienced playing there.

254
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 3: Great point, great point, David, great stuff. As always. We

255
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: enjoyed Dodger Talk last night.

256
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: UH looking forward to hopefully a celebratory postgame show this

257
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: afternoon after the three o'clock first pitch.

258
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 3: Appreciate David.

259
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: All right, guys, I'll talk to you from La tomorrow.

260
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: I hope so, and I hope so.

261
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: There he goes David say he is not packing a

262
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: bag for Philadelphia as the Dodgers can close out this

263
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 4: series with a win this afternoon. Again it's a three

264
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 4: to oh eight first pitch, and earlier first pitch, then

265
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: last night three to oh eight first pitch. We got

266
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck beginning too. Mickey Hatchell Joys

267
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: at the bottom of the hour, but he brought up

268
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: a great point with the shadows, and we said, we

269
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: bring up the S word in the eight o'clock hour,

270
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: and usually we don't like to bring up bad words, but.

271
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 3: The S word shadows.

272
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: Steve Sacks, you played second base many a day game,

273
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: min late afternoon game, early evening games at Dodger Stadium

274
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: in your career as a Dodger.

275
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 3: The shadows are real, aren't they.

276
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 6: Yes, a little different from me playing second base, but

277
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 6: the right fielders are gonna get a little flatter view

278
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 6: of of what's in front of them, and they're gonna

279
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 6: get more shadows. They're gonna get more, you know, more

280
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 6: of a of in and out, if you will, from

281
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: sunlight to shadows. So a little tougher for those guys

282
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 6: than the infielders. But nonetheless they're trained to do this.

283
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 5: They'll have the uh, they'll have the.

284
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 6: Goggles on, and they should be able to handle it,

285
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 6: getting an angle on the ball to get to the

286
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: side and using their glove to block it out.

287
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: They know how to do this and they'll be fine.

288
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: What about at the plate?

289
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 4: At least at three o'clock it won't be an issue,

290
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: But you start getting to four forty five, five o'clock,

291
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 4: when that's that the shadows of the stadium start coming

292
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: into play at the mound and home plate, that's where

293
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 4: things could get interesting. How important is it for a

294
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: quick start early in this game to get some.

295
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 5: On the board.

296
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 6: Then it's gonna be my point get out to a

297
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 6: big lead. You don't have to worry about that. But

298
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 6: you know, the good thing is, obviously it's the same

299
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 6: for both teams. You're gonna have to you're gonna have

300
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 6: to deal with it, and uh, you know, hopefully it'll

301
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 6: just be one more game like this and then you

302
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 6: go on to the next round and deal with it then,

303
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 6: But uh, both teams got to deal with it, and

304
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 6: you just got to try to really concentrate on being

305
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: aggressive in your zone and not to go out and

306
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 6: chase a lot because people have a tendency to do that.

307
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 6: When the ball's coming from sunlight into shadow, it casts

308
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 6: a bit of a different perspective that you got to

309
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 6: deal with. So let's try to stay in your zone

310
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 6: and be aggressive aggressive in that zone.

311
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: Explain it if you will.

312
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 4: Is it hard to pick it up and then you

313
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: lose it and then you have to try to pick

314
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: it up again, or is it just goodall you can't

315
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: figure out where he's even at.

316
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 5: It's good and it's good to see the ball.

317
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 6: If it's in the sunlight, you can see it coming

318
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 6: out of the hand and that's the most important thing

319
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 6: you Then that shadows cast a different.

320
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 5: Bit of a of a view on the ball.

321
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 6: It's sometimes you lose it a little bit. You can't

322
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 6: see the intricate little details sometimes of the ball where

323
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 6: if it's a slider, the seams create what is what

324
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 6: they call a dimple, and it looks like there's a

325
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 6: dimple on the ball when it's coming. That's what sometimes

326
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 6: sliders do. A tight slider will do that. You have

327
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: a Tennessee to loose that in the shadow, so it's

328
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 6: a bit tougher when it's coming from sun to shadow.

329
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: Shadows will be an issue. The S word will rear

330
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: its ugly.

331
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 4: Head again today out of Dodger Stadium, but it will

332
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: be for both teams, and Steve mentioned which is a

333
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: good thing. The Dodgers will have Tyler Glass now on

334
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: the mound. Christopher Sanchez, a left tender will go for

335
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: the Phillies will come up.

358
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: I'm just watching the MLB Network. Mickey Hatcher is gonna

Speaker 4: join us coming up in just a couple of minutes.

360
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: I was watching the MLB Network during the break and

361
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 4: Mark De Rosa and Ryan roland Smith, a former leftander

362
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 4: out of Australia now in Atalyst breaking down show Hey

363
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: Otani and his struggles in this NLDS, and again I

364
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 4: just love the breakdown. They're showing his right hip flying

365
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: out every time he's swinging. Dave Roberts talked about his

366
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: swings and his decision making at the plate recently in

367
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 4: the NLDS, and it's on full display, and they were

368
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: showing what the Phillies strategy has been towards Otani saxy.

369
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 4: They're throwing him inside, change ups, inside curve balls, inside fastballs,

370
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 4: inside splitters, inside, they're pounding the inside part of the

371
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: plate and getting him to fly open on all of

372
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 4: his swings, and then they'll come back with the pitch

373
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 4: outside out of the zone, and they're getting the swing

374
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 4: and missus and the chases outside of the strike sound.

375
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 4: So the Phillies are I've got a game plan and

376
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 4: they have orchestrated it perfectly against Otani the first three games.

377
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 6: This strategy is is you know, been around forever. It's

378
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 6: called get you get ahead on the count inside and

379
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 6: get them out away. It's been around forever, and that's

380
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 6: why I'm a big advocate of knowing they're trying to

381
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 6: do this. A lot of the pitches that they're throwing,

382
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 6: if you've noticed, on the inside part of the plate

383
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 6: are off the plate. They're three or four inches off

384
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 6: the plate. And if you get a guy like show

385
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 6: Hey to offer it, that pitch you just keep throwing

386
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 6: it until he stops swinging at it. When he stops

387
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 6: swinging at it, they have to come to the plate more.

388
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: If they come to the plate more, show he he's

389
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 6: going to crush them. So it all starts with him

390
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 6: telling them I'm not going for it. I'm not swinging

391
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 6: at the pitch off the plate. You're gonna have to

392
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 6: come onto the plate. When you come onto the plate,

393
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 6: I'm dangerous. Especially if he's looking up the middle and

394
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 6: the other way. He can hit the ball out of

395
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 6: the park. Even not being perfect, he can do it,

396
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 6: and lord knows what happens. If he's on time and

397
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 6: he pulls the ball, that is real dangerous. Then you're

398
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 6: talking parking lot shots.

399
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: So that's all he's got to do.

400
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 6: Lay off of that ball that's inside, let him get

401
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 6: ahead on the count and then look middle of way

402
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 6: and watch the fireworks happen.

403
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: Hopefully he can get back on track this afternoon here

404
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 4: in Game four. Hopefully the Dodgers' offense can get some

405
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: runs to pick up some cricket numbers on the scoreboard.

406
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 4: The Dodgers can get this series clinching win and get

407
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: ready for the NLCS. But the Fighting Phills are not

408
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 4: going to go away quietly. We saw that last night

409
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: with an eight to two win over the Dodgers. He

410
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 4: was out at the game last night. Mickey Hatcher, two

411
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 4: time World Series champ as a Dodger and of course

412
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 4: as a coach with the Angels, and he joins us

413
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: now here on a five to seventy LA Sports with

414
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: Steve Sacks and Tim kats Hatch.

415
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: How you doing.

416
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 7: Good morning, Good morning guys, And here we go again,

417
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 7: playoff time some Mickey, Here.

418
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 4: We are again, the Dodgers and the Fighting Phills going

419
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: at it in the NLDS.

420
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: And a Phillies team last night that had nothing to.

421
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 4: Lose, backs up against the wall and they came out

422
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: scratching and clawing, and Kyle Schwarber came out swinging and

423
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 4: they get the win. Just your over thoughts on this

424
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 4: Dodgers team. They were red hot coming in. They had

425
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 4: won nine in a row, underfeeding in the postseason until

426
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: last night and things just kind of got away from

427
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. How confident do you think they can come

428
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 4: back today and get this decisive win.

429
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 7: I got a lot of confidence on this team. I

430
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 7: think this roster is right where they want it to

431
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 7: be right now. You know, they got a lot of

432
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 7: with a lot of players of that lineup that lines

433
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 7: up good. They just had a tough game last night

434
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 7: and you know, Phillies was trying to let him come

435
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 7: back with all their base running mistakes, but Dodgers just

436
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 7: couldn't get it going. But you know it's like, well,

437
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 7: like I heard Saxy talking about Otani. Oh, you know,

438
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 7: Tani's he's a magic part of the lineup, and I

439
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 7: think they feed off of him. And you know, the

440
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 7: way he's struggling right now is just kind of the

441
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 7: way that the offense is going. But I think he's

442
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 7: going to break out. He's just such a great tunded

443
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 7: hitter and smart, and like Saxy says, he's going to

444
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 7: come out. You see how you see his face and

445
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 7: even he's going through this slump, you don't see this like,

446
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 7: oh I'm in trouble kind of look. You know, you

447
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 7: know he's gonna come through and break out and this

448
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 7: lineup's going to be fired.

449
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, Mickey, good to be with you this morning. I

450
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 6: just remember that big home run you hit, and I

451
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 6: believe that was Game one when I got hit by

452
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 6: the pitch you were the next guy and hit a

453
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 6: bomb out of there. It almost passed me up on

454
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 6: the bases. I turned around after I hit on Playton Boo,

455
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 6: you were right right on my hind end. I thought, geez,

456
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 6: Mickey mus have been sprinting around those bases. But Mickey,

457
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 6: when you were in that situation, I'm trying to draw

458
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 6: comparison here between what Otani's going through and what you

459
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 6: saw when you came up in the big moment and

460
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 6: hit a huge home run. Were you thinking just seaball

461
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 6: hit ball. Was it all just go up there and

462
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 6: instinctively just seeing and hitting it, or you know, did

463
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 6: you delve into the rabbit hole and signs of hitting

464
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: and and kind of break it down. Is maybe a

465
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 6: lot of us are doing too much with Otani?

466
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, it's just like anything else. You know,

467
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 7: we go out there, we take batting practice, we try

468
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 7: to hit the ball the other way. We try to

469
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 7: use the big part of the field. That was our

470
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 7: big thing. And you know, Tony's got when he's going good,

471
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 7: he's got powered all fields and it does look like

472
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 7: he's just trying to really knock the ball out of

473
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 7: the park and pull it. But that's been his swing.

474
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 7: You know, he's all maxed out when he swings at

475
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 7: a pitch. He swings at a pitch. But I think

476
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 7: if he gets to the big part of the field,

477
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 7: you know, he starts getting some bass hits the other way.

478
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 7: You know, that's when he's really dangerous. And right now,

479
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 7: you know they're just they want to punch him in,

480
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 7: they want to throw him, expand the zone on him,

481
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 7: and you know, he's one of those guys that man.

482
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 7: He's like when Barry Bonds was so hot, he had

483
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 7: that little box that you threw a ball in. It

484
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 7: was gone, and I think he's just got to get

485
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 7: back to that role.

486
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 4: Series Champion Mickey Hatcher joining us here on Saxon Kate's

Speaker 4: of Dodger greats who will be out there. Momentum, Mickey,

497
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 4: we talk about it in baseball, and the Dodgers had

498
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 4: some momentum the first two games and they were riding

499
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: a nine game winning streak and the pitching was doing

500
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: great and feeling good about the way they were playing

501
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: against his Phillies team who snatched back. I guess this

502
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: momentum last night with the win is momentum thing in

503
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: baseball In a series like this that's so short, only

504
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: five games?

505
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: Can it? Is it game to game? Do you believe

506
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: in momentum in baseball?

507
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 7: I think it's game to game. I mean, you know

508
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 7: that this game is big because I think the Dodgers

509
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 7: a momentum, momentum is still with them because they got

510
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 7: two wins. But you know they're going to come out.

511
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 7: They're professionals. They've been in this spot for guy with

512
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 7: the last I don't know how many years, so you

513
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 7: know they're going to come out and they're just going

514
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 7: to play baseball. And you know, I just think that

515
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 7: it's game to game with them. You know, they're just

516
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 7: they've been here all the time, they know it. They

517
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: got a lot of guys with experience, and you know,

518
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 7: that's how these guys play, That's how the Dodgers are.

519
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, and again, Mickey, we're looking forward to the Dodger Camp.

520
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 6: We're both going to be there January eleventh, seventeenth down

521
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 6: in Glendale. It's going to be a blast. And don't

522
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 6: we have fun down there doing that.

523
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you what, if people are listening

524
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 7: to this, you have to do that camp because no

525
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 7: matter what you think, you won't be the worst player

526
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 7: that shows up at this camp. And we have so

527
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 7: much fun and all the players have fun and and

528
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 7: it's great, and you know we got you don't have

529
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: to be an athlete, you don't have to be in

530
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 7: the best shape ever. We could send you pictures of

531
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 7: a lot of our campers and it's it's for everybody

532
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 7: and girls, guys, And I tell you the stories, the

533
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 7: bond that happens with all the alumnis and the players,

534
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 7: it's probably one of the best.

535
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Mickey, I've made some great friendships. So some of

536
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 6: the guys down there that you see after camp and whatnot,

537
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 6: and you know, it's great to kind of mix with

538
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 6: them with everybody. So anyway, I want to ask you

539
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 6: another question about a bullpen with the Dodgers right now,

540
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 6: they seem well rusted with me, and we've talked about

541
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 6: this in the last segment. Sasaki and Shehn and Vessia

542
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 6: can come in there and pitch more than just in

543
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 6: any if they need be but banda and trying to dryer.

544
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 6: And these guys, they showed that they're back on it.

545
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 6: They're on point and they can come in there even

546
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 6: for you know, an out or two or maybe a

547
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 6: full ining. So I think this bullpen is back and

548
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 6: you can kind of squash the thing that says, wow,

549
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,199
Speaker 6: the bullpens the weakness.

550
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 5: I don't think that's the anymore.

551
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 7: I think Sasaki established that. I think you know, him

552
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 7: coming out there in that one game and closing it

553
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 7: out just made a different different tone for everybody on

554
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 7: that team when you know you had that one guy

555
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 7: that could come in and close it out and do

556
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 7: a good job. And I think it's just going to

557
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 7: help the rest of the bullpen guys. So that's the

558
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 7: biggest part that I really like about the Dodgers right

559
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 7: now and their chances to move forward? Is that just

560
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 7: putting him in the bullpen as a closer fil thing?

561
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 4: For me, Mickey, you played for Tommy Lasorda. The speeches,

562
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 4: the raw rod, they get guys fired up. Dave Roberts

563
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: is not necessarily like that. If you're Dave Roberts today

564
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 4: knowing you don't want to go back to Philadelphia for

565
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 4: Game five, does he need to say anything to his team?

566
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 4: Does he need to be different and give a raw

567
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: rospiece to give him motivational something in that clubhouse? Is

568
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts just going to be who he is? How

569
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: does he approach today and what really is a pivotal

570
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: game trying to avoid going back to citizens big Park.

571
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 7: I just think how he goes around the locker room,

572
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 7: his uh, his personality, Uh just uh he every day

573
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 7: you just walk by a player and give him knuckles

574
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 7: and say, come on, this is our day. You know,

575
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 7: he's not that big speech guy, but he does it

576
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 7: individually with all the players, and they just have that

577
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 7: great relationship. And he knows they're going to go out there,

578
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 7: they're gonna they're gonna play hard and and they're going

579
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 7: to do it for him, but his just having his

580
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 7: presence around there and that uh, that confidence feeling and

581
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 7: that smile and that uh you know, he's got that

582
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 7: little energy that he doesn't but he doesn't do it

583
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 7: all and he doesn't have to make the big speech.

584
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mickey all conclude on this one.

585
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 6: I wanted to ask you, you know that the offense

586
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 6: has been a little bit muted lately.

587
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 5: What do you think it's going to take.

588
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 6: What person do you think is gonna have to kind

589
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 6: of you know, make the you know, rising tides gonna

590
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 6: lift all the ships. Which which do you think in

591
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 6: this line is going to have to be the one

592
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 6: that steps up, gets that big hit, maybe brings him

593
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 6: from behind with a three run homer or whatever it

594
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 6: may be. Maybe it's a double in the gap that

595
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 6: clears the basis, Who do you think is going to

596
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 6: be the guy to step up and do that?

597
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 7: Well, they got so many guys in that lineup that

598
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 7: they you know, that that can do that, and uh,

599
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 7: you know, Tani's one of them. It seems like they

600
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 7: really feed on Otani. Otani's gonna come up there be

601
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 7: the leadoff hitter in a game like you were sacually

602
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 7: I mean, it's big when your leadoff hitter gets it

603
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 7: going for the offense. Uh, that's a that's a big plus.

604
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 7: And I think that's what they need with him, is

605
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 7: you know, he hasn't done it, and uh, you know,

606
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 7: I think that's going to be the big part of

607
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 7: the game today. I think he's going to come out

608
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 7: there and do it. Uh and uh, you know, we'll

609
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 7: just see where it goes from there. But they got

610
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 7: so many guys in that lineup that can with one swing,

611
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 7: can turn it around and get that energy going. And

612
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 7: that's what those guys feed off of. And yesterday was

613
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 7: just one of them games where it just didn't happen.

614
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 7: And you know, I just like I said, I think

615
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 7: there's too many guys in that lineup that can really

616
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 7: be that spark plot.

617
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: You can hang out with Mickey Hatcher, Steve Sacks, and

618
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,960

00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 4: Tyler Glass now Christopher Sanchez the pitching matchup. Dodgers saw

700
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 4: Sanchez in Game one. Dodgers were hoping that Clayton h

701
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 4: Tyler Glass now today can give him the great outing

702
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 4: and get to that deep end of the bullpen and

703
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: maybe we'll see rookie Susaki come in and close things out.

704
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 4: Last night, things did not go as scripted, as the

705
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 4: Dodgers were down three to one, and then things got

706
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: away with him. In the eighth inning. Clayton Kershaw gave

707
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 4: up the five runs. Dodgers lose eight to two. But

708
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 4: that was last night's saxon. We put that behind us

709
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 4: and we get ready for Game four this afternoon.

710
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: A must win Game four in my.

711
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 4: Mind, because you do not want to go back to

712
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 4: Philadelphia for Game five, don't want to travel tomorrow, don't

713
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: want to play Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park. Take

714
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 4: care of business this afternoon and that leads us to

715
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 4: Steve's Keys for a game four win. How do they

716
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 4: get it done this afternoon?

717
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 6: I got the simple approach, Tim. I like David Vassey's

718
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 6: efforts of saying or non effort of packing, because he's

719
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 6: not going to have to. They're not going back to Philly.

720
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 6: Here's what I think is going to be the key

721
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 6: you need. As I asked Mickey, somebody to have the

722
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 6: rising tide that's gonna lift all ships.

723
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 5: Hitting is extremely.

724
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 6: Contagious, very very contagious, and I think the obvious guy

725
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 6: to do it is we need a show. Hey, Otani explosion.

726
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 6: We need a home run to left center field. We

727
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 6: need some some rattling the ball off the off defense.

728
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 5: We need.

729
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 6: We need to see, you know, Tani at his best.

730
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 6: They can't hold him down forever. He's too good. I

731
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: think you're gonna see it tonight. Otani's gonna explode. The

732
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 6: rest of the team's going to follow. And I think

733
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 6: the pitching is gonna almost be insignificant tonight, which I

734
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 6: never say. I always say it's the opposite. But I

735
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 6: think it's gonna be insignificant. They're gonna have I think

736
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 6: it's gonna be one of these thirteen to two games.

737
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 6: That's that's what I think.

738
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I love it. A thirteen to two I.

739
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 6: Mean just a just an a whipping you know what

740
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 6: I mean, A big blank whipping tonight.

741
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 3: I love it.

742
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 4: And if shoe Otani can get it going, that means

743
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 4: there's some positive vibes. That means there's some patl santo.

744
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 4: The whole team will explode. Oh they need everybody to

745
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 4: get going top to bottom, and it all starts with

746
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 4: showey Otani. I'm absolutely with you. This guy needs to

747
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 4: get it going in Game four this afternoon.

748
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 6: If he doesn't, Tim, they're not gonna win it. That

749
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 6: that's that simple. It's that simple. He's that important.

750
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: He is zero for five last night, one for fourteen

751
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 4: with seven strikeouts.

752
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 5: In this series.

753
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 4: He has struggled against left handers. Just the one hit

754
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 4: was an RBI single in Philadelphia, but last night did

755
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 4: not look good at the played. Show Hey Otani, some

756
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 4: positive vibes. Get at your potto santo right now. Dodger fans,

757
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 4: send that positive vibes to Dodger Stadium and show hey

758
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 4: Otani in this Dodgers offense. I'm confident in Tyler Glass.

759
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 4: Now he'll go up and put up zeros, but the

760
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 4: Dodgers offense cannot put up zeros. The Dodgers offense needs

761
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: to get after Christopher Sanchez. Get after him early before

762
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 4: the s word comes in.

763
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 5: Shit, they need to marry go round here.

764
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 6: They need a turnstile back and forth from that dugout

765
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 6: with high fives everywhere. Get it started early, get the

766
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 6: fans involved, and watch show Hey erupt tonight. That's what

767
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 6: I think is gonna happen, and it's got to happen

768
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 6: sometime or you know, they're going to be foundering.

769
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 5: They have to have Show Hey explode.

770
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: And they better do it earlier.

771
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 4: As you mentioned earlier in the show, the shadows will come.

772
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 4: They will creep onto the field late as the game

773
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 4: continues to go on around five o'clock five point thirty,

774
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 4: those shadows will be real at Dodger Stadium for the

775
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 4: hitters advantage pitchers in that case is the Dodgers want

776
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 4: to score early and off and against Christopher Sanchez. Show

777
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 4: Hey o Tani hands down the X factor, the key
