1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: They say. The hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

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

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 3: It's winning it again this Yearning is.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 4: Not trying to win a championship, They're trying to repeat.

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,680

Speaker 3: and Blue Jays come back to Dodger Stadium tied at

28
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 3: a game of peace and feeling pretty good about where

29
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are. All being said, what happened in game

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 3: one and then eleven to four? Butt kicking by the

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 3: Blue Jays, but they bounce back on Saturday night thanks

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: to Yoshi yamamotos Just your thoughts going into game three quick?

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 3: What'd you make the games one and two? Your initial

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: thoughts on what happened in Toronto at the Rogers Center.

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I think there's a it's a big

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 7: example of what Toronto can do, that you can strike

37
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 7: at any time. This is a team that has come

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 7: back and won more games when they've been behind, especially

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 7: late in the game this year, more than any other

40
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 7: team in MLB. So that just shows you that they're

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 7: never out until you snuff these guys out. I think

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 7: Game two was pretty amazing. I mean, Yamamoto has really,

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 7: you know, put his flag in the ground and said,

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 7: I'm gonna set a new narrative for everybody watch this,

45
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 7: and he pitches a complete game, masterpiece, absolute masterpiece. I

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 7: thought the splitter and the big curveball were big reasons

47
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 7: why he was able to keep these guys off guard.

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 7: And you know, he just pitched a just a brilliant,

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 7: brilliant game and maybe more to come. I think you

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 7: can see the bar being risen by this team as

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 7: far as the pitching staff goes and said, hey, maybe

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 7: I can pitch a complete game, no hitter. Look at

53
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 7: Yoshiobu did, so let's watch him.

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: Game one, Blake Snell certainly didn't have his stuff. It

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: felt like the Blue Jains Saxy were riding the momentum

57
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: from the Alcs the buzz in Toronto leading up to

58
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: this series, and it did feel like the Dodgers six

59
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: day layoff had a little bit of something to do

60
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: with the slow start. And when you have a slow

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 3: start in Game one and they have got a good

62
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: starting pitcher on the mound and their offense gets going early,

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: it kind of felt like from the jump the Blue

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: Jays had the momentum in Game one. I give so

65
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: much credit though, to Yoshinova Yamamoto and stopping that momentum,

66
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 3: and you know when it stops. Steve was in that

67
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: first inning of Game two, bottom of the first, leadoff

68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: double by George Springer. Next batter singles, They got first

69
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: and third, nobody out. They're already up one to zero

70
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: in this series. They got the momentum. Rogers Center's going crazy,

71
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: and they got Vlad Guerrero up and Yamamoto they showed

72
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: him on the mound and he looks calm, he looks cool.

73
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: He's sort of strutting trying to find his spot to

74
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 3: get a good look and kind of, you know, settle

75
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: in and let the nerves get to him. And he

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: strikes out Vlad Guerrero, and then he gets Kirk to

77
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: line out to Freddie Freeman at first and then gets

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: a punch out of Dalton var Show on a curveball

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: after he fell behind three to zero. The count comes

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: back with a couple of pitches, a fastball splitter and

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: then gets some freeze in on a three to two

82
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: curveball to get out of the jam right there, and

83
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: felt like momentum came to a halt for the Toronto

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: Blue Jays.

85
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and and it just took the wind right out

86
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 7: of their sales. They had an opportunity. As you said,

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 7: they're up in game one. Blake Snell obviously did not

88
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 7: have his stuff. You could tell it right from the beginning.

89
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 7: He was missing high, repeatedly missing high pitch after pitch,

90
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 7: and he just didn't have it. I mean, he didn't

91
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 7: have his stuff. He was fortunate. I think the team

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 7: was fortunate to keep that thing at two to two

93
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 7: for a while. Could have been six to two. But

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 7: the team, you know, scratches and claws, and that's one

95
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 7: thing I think that's understated with this Dodger team. They fight,

96
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 7: they scratched on the claw, and they keep it at

97
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 7: bay until they till they can right the ship. Switch

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 7: to Game two. Yamamoto, when he got out of that

99
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 7: first inning, that momentum completely shifted in favor of the Dodgers, Like, okay,

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 7: you had your chance. Yeah you had him on the ropes.

101
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 7: Watch this he shuts it down and then it was

102
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 7: all Dodgers.

103
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: A twenty three pitch first inning for Yoshinobo. Yamamoto gets

104
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: out of a first and third jam with nobody out,

105
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: and then goes on and gives up a couple more hits,

106
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: a one out hit in the third inning would be

107
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: the final one, as he then retired the final twenty

108
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: batters that he faced. Keep in mind he threw twenty

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: three pitches in the first inning. You kind of got

110
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: the feeling, Steve, Oh no, this keeps up. He may

111
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: not get after the fourth inning. I mean, this may

112
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 3: be out of the bullpen here against Kevin Gosman, who's dealing,

113
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers have to go their pen after four innings. Instead,

114
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 3: he had a ten pitchitting, a thirteen pitch inning, and

115
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: that fourth inning was to me huge because he had

116
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: a six pitch fourth inning to put him at sixty

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: pitches through four innings and it basically reset his pitch count.

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 7: I felt, yeah, it did, and then he was you know,

119
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 7: got into the later innings and he was just cruising

120
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 7: after that. It's funny how things can shift like that,

121
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 7: tim where you got the guy in the ropes big

122
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 7: time in the first and he's able to scratch and

123
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 7: claw and get out of that thing. And then pretty

124
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 7: much once you give him an opportunity, and that's where

125
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays I kne are over there kicking themselves

126
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 7: saying we had that opportunity right there in the palm

127
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 7: of our hand, and we let him off the hook.

128
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 7: You can't let guys off the hook. You gotta go

129
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 7: out and crush them, because this team, especially this team

130
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 7: in Toronto, will come back and beat you later in

131
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 7: the game.

132
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 3: Yamamoto got so dialed in. He had a one two

133
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: three fifth, a one two three six. He was getting

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: ground ball after ground ball, saxye. He was using all

135
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: of his different pitches and the key was he was

136
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: able to throw them for strikes. And you always talk

137
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: about it getting ahead first pitch strike, and he was

138
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: able to do it. But he was doing it with

139
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: a splitty. He was doing it with his curveball. He

140
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: was doing it with this fastball. And after that first

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: inting in which you know, the command was a little there,

142
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: he almost walked Dalton var Show. After that he had

143
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: pinpoint control with his fastball. And how much that sets

144
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: up every other pitch, doesn't it? Because oh absolutely, if

145
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: you get hit the corner in and out and just

146
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: hit it by a pin every time, you're in control

147
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 3: out there.

148
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, because the the you know, the approach is Okay,

149
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 7: I'm gonna not swing it a bad pitch. I'm going

150
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 7: to you know, work the count and if I don't

151
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 7: get a good pitch until two strikes, I'm just gonna

152
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 7: take it. Well, guess what, he didn't give them a

153
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 7: good pitch. He was like you said, pinpoint control. You know,

154
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 7: I just dotting that outside lower part of the strike zone.

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 7: And when you get ahead like that, then you open

156
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 7: up this whole menagerie of different pitches that he can throw.

157
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 7: He can vary his pitches, he can vary the length

158
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 7: and the depth of that curveball that is so big

159
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 7: it changes the eye angle the hitter, and it's like

160
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 7: good luck. You know. For example, you look at the

161
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 7: bottom part of the order. Everybody's touting, well, the bottom

162
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 7: part of this order, for you know, the Toronto Blue

163
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 7: Jays has just been great. The seven, eight nine has

164
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 7: really been productive for this team through out. You check

165
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 7: on what happened in the last game. You got zero

166
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 7: for nine with Barger, Kiner, Fleffa was in there, Bashet

167
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 7: came up and pinch it, and Heimens and you look

168
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 7: at those guys you got oh for nine. I mean,

169
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 7: this was one of the big parts of the reason

170
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 7: why this team was able to stay afloat and battle

171
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 7: because the bottom part of the order was great.

172
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 6: Not against Yamamoto. They weren't.

173
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 7: He just completely shut that part down.

174
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: Here's are some numbers for Yamamoto, just to kind of

175
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: put it in context Dodger fans to what he did

176
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: in Game two, nine innings, four hits, one run, eight strikeouts,

177
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: one hundred and five pitches, zero walks in nine innings,

178
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: seventy three pitches for strikes. Out of the one hundred

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 3: and five, he had seventeen swinging misses. He had eleven

180
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: groundouts and only three flyouts. He was getting him to

181
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: hit on the ground. That tells me he had them

182
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: off speed, he had him guessing, and they were just

183
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: hacking it into the ground, into the turf there at

184
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: Rogers Center. And the numbers and stats you've heard all

185
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: week and long since. The complete game, the last World

186
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: Series complete game in Major League Baseball Johnny Quato ten

187
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: years ago in the twenty fifteen World Series, first pitcher

188
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 3: since Kurt Shilling in two thousand and one to throw

189
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 3: consecutive games in the playoffs in consecutive complete games. And

190
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: he also the first Dodger since oral Herscheiser in Game

191
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: five of your nineteen eighty eight World Series to throw

192
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 3: a complete game. By the way, in that eighty eight playoffs,

193
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: the Bulldog threw three complete games, one in the NLCS

194
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: and then twice in the World Series, concluding with that

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 3: Game five clinching win up there in Oakland. So it

196
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: sort of puts into context how special Saturday Night was

197
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 3: for Yoshinabu, Yoshanobu Yamamoto and what really his last two

198
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: starts Steve have been about. To throw back to back

199
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: complete games in twenty twenty five. I mean, this is

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 3: unheard of. This is like finding locknest monsters, just things

201
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: you don't see anymore.

202
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.

203
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 7: And the good thing about it is he wants that

204
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 7: he wants to go out and set the mindset at

205
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 7: beginning to nine innings. That's it's kind of like a

206
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 7: pilot in the plane. He sets the course, and that's

207
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 7: kind of what Yamamoto does. He sets the course for

208
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 7: nine innings. This is where we're going, and you know,

209
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 7: you battle through that big first inning, which was amazing.

210
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 7: I mean to tell you, Tim, I was like shaking

211
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 7: my head thinking, oh my gosh, here we go in.

212
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 7: We can't let you can't let Toronto up two. Oh,

213
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 7: you know, because that team is dangerous at too oh,

214
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 7: and so you know he was able to come back

215
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 7: and the Dodgers were able to put some runs together.

216
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 7: And how about Will Smith. I know we've been talking

217
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 7: about Yamamoto, but remember we were talking about before it started,

218
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 7: what's going to be that one guy kind of the

219
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 7: supporting actor of the whole of the whole movie. Who's

220
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 7: going to be the guy that's the real supporting guy. Well,

221
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 7: we know it's Yamamoto and Bets at the top of

222
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 7: the ord and Freddie Freeman, but is it going to

223
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 7: be Max Munsey. Well, he's been helpful, but really it's

224
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 7: been Will Smith. That ball that he torched to left

225
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 7: field got out of there like a howitzer. That was

226
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 7: just a bomb that he left up and in and

227
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 7: Will Smith has dropped the head on it and there

228
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 7: she went.

229
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: He ended a streak seventeen in a row on Saturday

230
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: eight night that were retied by Kevin Gosman. He had

231
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: a two out RBI single in the first and then

232
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: in the seventh inning of that bomb, as you mentioned,

233
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: to put the Dodgers up two to one. He also

234
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: had to feel their choice, in which he beat out

235
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: a double playground ball to score Otwany and give him

236
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: another insurance run to go up five to one. He

237
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 3: was two for four, a home run, three ribies. He

238
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: ties a career high for RBIs in a postseason game.

239
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: Before we hear from the Dodger players and manager Dave

240
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: Roberts on Yamamoto, what about Kevin Gosman on Saturday night

241
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: in Game two, sax see he was going toe to

242
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: toe with Yamamoto. And if it were not for Will

243
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: Smith turning on that fastball into seventh inning, who knows

244
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: what's happening because he kind of, you know, took the lidoff,

245
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: so to speak, the Dodgers offense, and it opened up

246
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: Max Months to a home run. They scored two more

247
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: off the bullpen in the eighth inning. Kevin Gosman was

248
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 3: thrown ninety four down the middle, and you wouldn't think

249
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: he was throwing one hundred and fourteen down the middle

250
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: the way the Dodgers' bats could not hit it.

251
00:11:59,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

252
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 7: Well, he's a pretty lanky, tall guy, and so he

253
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 7: gets good stretch and he's got great leverage on his pitches.

254
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 7: His splitter is really good. It's his signature pitch, and

255
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 7: when that thing's working, you can see in the slow

256
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 7: motion effects on how much that ball was dropping. It

257
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 7: looked like it was just being pulled down, you know,

258
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 7: like you just pulled down a shade. That thing was

259
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 7: just dropping like crazy. I think the amazing thing about

260
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 7: what Kevin Gosman did too, is that he didn't walk anybody.

261
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 7: And when you throw a splitter like that and you

262
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 7: get you try to induce a lot of chase guys

263
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 7: that can throw that pitch and make them swing at

264
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 7: it when it's out of the strike zone. He was

265
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 7: getting quite a bit of that six and two thirds.

266
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 7: He only gave up four hits, so he was dynamite.

267
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 7: He until, of course Will Smith come up and drilled

268
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 7: that ball that turned everything around.

269
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. It opened things up for the Dodgers

270
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: and ended that streak of seventeen in a row. Retired

271
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 3: by Kevin Goswin. Max Munty would homer later in the inning.

272
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 3: The Dodgers scored two in the seven, two in the eighth.

273
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: They go on and beat the Blue Jays five to one,

274
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: as they have evened up this Best of seven World

275
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 3: Series at a game apiece. A complete game for Yamamoto,

276
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: his second straight consecutive complete game, retiring the last twenty

277
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: batters that he phased. We were in awe. You the

278
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: Dodger fans were in awe. And how about the Dodger

279
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 3: teammates of Yoshinobu, Yama, Moto and his manager Dave Roberts.

280
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 3: Here they are post game, all of them in awe.

281
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 3: Of Yamamoto so special.

282
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 8: You know, he he had his pitches going, he was

283
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 8: looking the ball well, just you know, mixing speeds, keeping

284
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 8: them really off balance.

285
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: That's what we needed.

286
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: We needed a great start out of somebody.

287
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: Yo.

288
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: She stepped up today and he gave it to us.

289
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 3: He was absolutely incredible.

290
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: He was you know, two starts in a row where

291
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 5: you know, he gave leadof Homer last time, and then

292
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 5: today he threw twenty twenty five pitch in the first inning.

293
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: I don't know what the number was, I know it

294
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 5: was a lot, and then in order to keep his

295
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: pitch count down and complete an entire game.

296
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: It's just really really impressive.

297
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: Nothing seems to face him, and it's really fun washing

298
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 5: him pitch.

299
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 3: He's just been amazing. I mean he's every time he

300
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 3: takes the ball, you can see he has confidence. He's

301
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: the man.

302
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: He's the man that's why. That's why everybody wanted him

303
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: last year when he was trying to come over to

304
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: the US, And.

305
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 9: Uh, he's worth every penny. He showed it, the amount

306
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 9: of growth he showed and uh, in the last two

307
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 9: years for a guy that you know, accomplished pretty much

308
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 9: everything over there, it's pretty impressive.

309
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: He looks like he's been there, done that a lot,

310
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: which he has because that guy's been winning his entire

311
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: career and it.

312
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Shows outstanding, uber competitive special.

313
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was just locked in tonight.

314
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 3: You know.

315
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 7: It's one of those things he said before the series,

316
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 7: losing is not an option, and he had that look tonight.

317
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 6: All Right.

318
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: There's Dave Roberts, Max mountsy Will Smith, Mookie Betts, and

319
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 3: Key k Hernandez, all of them. After the game on

320
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: Saturday night, saxy in off sort of felt like the

321
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: same reaction after the Game four NLCS performance by show

322
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Hey Otani. All the players and coaching staff just afterwards,

323
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: their jaws dropped, like what did we just see? And

324
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: that's kind of felt the same way Saturday night and

325
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: another complete game from Yamamoto. These guys could not believe

326
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: what they witnessed.

327
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, let's give some kudos to something

328
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 7: that we're you know, I didn't see that night. You

329
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 7: don't see the conversations and the heads up and the

330
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 7: advice that's given to Yamamoto by show Heyo Tani. You

331
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 7: don't see that stuff obviously, but that's got to play

332
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 7: a role in how much that Yamamoto would lean on.

333
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 7: Show Heyo Tani been here, He's been here for a while.

334
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 7: He understands the culture, he understands all those things on

335
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 7: the periphery that don't really show up for a game

336
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 7: that I think do make a difference to kind of

337
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 7: pave that way a little bit, and probably all the

338
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 7: advice and conversations they have, you know, show He's been there.

339
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 7: He's that kind of a teammate to really help Yamamoto

340
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 7: and kind of smooth out some of those things that

341
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 7: it can get in the way of a pitching performance.

342
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 7: And I gotta think that show Hey was right there

343
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 7: for him.

344
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up because let's go back

345
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 3: to two off seasons ago and he signed a loop

346
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: double digit year, three hundred plus million dollar contract with

347
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and left some people scratching their head is

348
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: how much money did you just give a guy who's

349
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: never pitched in the big leagues. Now, keep in mind

350
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: the Dodgers weren't the only suitors. There was like three

351
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: other teams that were right there until the end that

352
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: were throwing around similar years and numbers at Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

353
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: Ultimately he decided not to go to New York. I mean,

354
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: the Mets offered him a ton a ton of money

355
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: as well to go pitch at City Field, and ultimately

356
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: he decided to sign with the Dodgers.

357
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 6: And I think San Francisco as well.

358
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely, the Giants were right there until the end. And

359
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: it was interesting because when he signed, there was some

360
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: people wondering, well, why not go be your own dude

361
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: in New York, be the Japanese superstar in a different market.

362
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: You're coming to la Otani's the guy, Otani's the Dodger,

363
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 3: and you're coming to play on Otani's team. And at

364
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: the time, there are people in baseball saying, I don't

365
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 3: know if I like this move. He's just following Otani's footsteps.

366
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 3: He should have blazed his own trail, so to speak,

367
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: in a different market. I think he was right on

368
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: by signing with the Dodgers. He's got a guy who

369
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: can absorb the media, a guy who can lean on

370
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: early on in his tenure with the Dodgers in America.

371
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: It just is the perfect fit for him. Why go

372
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: to New York and take the pressure there of being

373
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 3: on a pedestal every single day when you can let

374
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 3: Otani deal with that and you can go and get

375
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 3: adapted to the US and pitching in the big leagues.

376
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 3: I thought it was a brilliant move for him to

377
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: sign with the Dodgers.

378
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 7: I thought it was a very very smart move for

379
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 7: him to do. I mean, your chances of winning now

380
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 7: when you come to this team, that's what it's all about,

381
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 7: are significantly enhanced. Now you've got Yoshiobu Yamamoto and you've

382
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 7: got sho Hey Otani. You've got a double feature now,

383
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 7: is opposed to just having the one guy in New

384
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 7: York and one guy in it. That was a great

385
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 7: move because, let I mean, you know, it seems to

386
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 7: me that Yamamote is a kind of guy that's let's

387
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 7: show hey have the attention, let him have all that that.

388
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 7: That's great. I'm gonna come here and I want to

389
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 7: win a world championship. And he's gonna help me do it.

390
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 7: He's not gonna be an adversary if I go to

391
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 7: New York. He's gonna be a teammate here in LA.

392
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 7: Why wouldn't you want to be a teammate with shoey

393
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 7: Otani as opposed to being an adversary. I think it

394
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 7: was a simple, simple move to make, and it was

395
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 7: a smart one too, because, like you said, Tim, you

396
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 7: pointed out the reasons were valid to go to New York,

397
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 7: but to come to New York come to LA was

398
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 7: the right reason and that's why he did it.

399
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 3: And it's not like he took less money to come

400
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: to the Dodgers. He was still offered a twelve year deal,

401
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: reportedly right around the three hundred and twenty five million dollars.

402
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: Depending on who you were, you know, get your information from.

403
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: Maybe was a little less, maybe it was right there,

404
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: equal to three to twenty five, but it was all

405
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 3: said and done. You hit it on the h He

406
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: wanted to win, and he came to a proven winner.

407
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: He could have gone to the Mets and been the

408
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 3: guy who was leading that team in the face of

409
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: the team for the next decade, but there was no

410
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: guarantees they were gonna win. They weren't coming off a championship,

411
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: they weren't coming off deep playoff runs. They weren't a

412
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: team that was built for you know, sustainable future to

413
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: make runs. He was part of a rebuild. He was

414
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: part of a we're gonna put all our eggs in

415
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 3: your basket and add around you and hopes that you

416
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 3: can get us to the World Series. Whereas he can

417
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: go to the Dodgers and get the same years, same

418
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: money and pitch on a really good pitching staff with

419
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 3: an already proven Japanese player. I mean, at the time,

420
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't understand what these baseball people were saying, Oh,

421
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: he didn't want to be the guy he wants to

422
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: just follow Otawni around. And you know they story made

423
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: the same comments about Sasaki when he signed with the

424
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: Dodgers this last offseason. Well, why be the third Japanese

425
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: player on a Dodger team. Go blaze your own trail

426
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 3: somewhere else.

427
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 7: Hey, Tim, you know when I went to New York,

428
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 7: When night I left the Dodgers and went to New

429
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 7: York and played there, I'm not trying to make say

430
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 7: there's a you know, it's an equal comparison, because it's

431
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 7: obviously not. But it was a different time, of course.

432
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 7: But when I went over there, and you know, I

433
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 7: had they have the press conference, they talk about, you know,

434
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 7: what's gonna be like New York and what's the difference

435
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 7: between LA and New York and playing. I had that

436
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 7: conversation three thousand times. And then you know when when

437
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 7: I went over there, they had Ricky Henderson, they had

438
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 7: Don Mattie Lee, they have Dave Winfield, they had all

439
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 7: these guys. They didn't give a darn about Steve's who

440
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 7: cared about me. They had all these superstars over there.

441
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 7: So I got to go over there kind of like

442
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 7: tiptoe and sneak in there right. Had one of my

443
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 7: best years of my career. I had people say, what's

444
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 7: some pressure? Like I felt there was way less pressure

445
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 7: playing in New York, way less because all the focus

446
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 7: was on those other guys, and man, they I just

447
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 7: go in there and have an zero for four and

448
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 7: nobody cared. I had a three or four or four

449
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 7: for four. Nobody cared. And then you looked up at

450
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 7: the end of the year and it's like, Wow, I

451
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 7: had one of my best years, but nobody cared because

452
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 7: I had all these other stories going on, all these

453
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 7: others that were that were you know, famous, big players,

454
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 7: and so it was great. I loved it so kind

455
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 7: of making a little bit of a note there, Yeah,

456
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 7: I see why he did it.

457
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 6: Absolutely, it was a great reason why he did it.

458
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

459
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think about the flip side. If if

460
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: you're going over to Japan to play Steven and you

461
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: were going over there in your career to sign a

462
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 3: deal with the Japanese team, if a couple of teams

463
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: are thrown equal years, equal money at you, I mean

464
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: you're looking then at the team itself. Okay, which one

465
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 3: gives me a better chance to win? If all things

466
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: that are being equal, which which team gives me a

467
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: better chance to win?

468
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 7: What?

469
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: I'm here for a championship? Or if you're just there

470
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: to collect a paycheck and go through the motions for

471
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: the next decade, then that's fine, But you're gonna get

472
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: criticized for that, and you're you know, obviously you're a

473
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: competitor and you want to win, and that's what Yamamoto is.

474
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: So I can again, I love the fact he signed

475
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers. I repeatedly talk about Game five the

476
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: NLDS last year. You heard a couple of comments there,

477
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: including Dave Roberts and Max Munsey and Will Smith talk

478
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: about his attitude on the mound and how he has

479
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: developed into this aggressive picture on the mound. This is

480
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 3: the guy that the Dodger signed. This is that that

481
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 3: fierce competitor on the mound who doesn't blink when something

482
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: goes wrong. I mean Saturday night. I don't think Dodger

483
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: fans understand how bad things could have gotten in that

484
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: first inning if he doesn't get out of it like

485
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: he did.

486
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has a spine of steel. That's what it was.

487
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 7: He has a steel spine. That guy was able to

488
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 7: just and you notice what you know they do the

489
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 7: close ups on him. Did you see any difference? Did

490
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 7: you see any panic? Did you see m sweating profusely?

491
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: Nope?

492
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 6: I just say anything like that.

493
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 7: I saw a guy that well, okay, you know this

494
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 7: is like I gotta go out here and mow the yard,

495
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 7: and you know, I gotta get that row in this row.

496
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 6: In that row, then I'm done. That's kind of what

497
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 6: it seemed like to me.

498
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 7: He was out there just doing some yard work. Man.

499
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, then he just blazed right through it, no problem.

500
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: The psychological part of baseball, and you know it's a

501
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: big part of it. You know, there's there's mental coaches

502
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 3: out there that teams work with, and there there's they

503
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 3: always talk about, you know, final focal spot. You know,

504
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: look at look into the distance somewhere, find somewhere in

505
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: the stadium that you can just kind of stare off

506
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 3: into and reset your mind, whether into between pitches, in

507
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 3: between batters, in between innings, find that spot that you

508
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 3: can just stare off into and reset your mind. That's

509
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 3: what I kind of felt like he was doing at

510
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: times where he's staring off is trying to get into

511
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 3: that mental lock yea, and that he had.

512
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 7: You know, this could be this could be a great

513
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 7: example for people that do that type of thing psychiatrist

514
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 7: or whatever, and kind of use Yamamoto as an example. Okay,

515
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 7: this is how he started, but look what happened by.

516
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 6: The end of the inning.

517
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 7: He just blaze through it.

518
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 6: Look what happened by the end of the inning. That's great.

519

543
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: Tyler Glass Now and Max Scherzer the pitching matchup, and

544
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: Dodger fans certainly remember Max Schurzer, the forty one year

545
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: old longtime pitcher who was with the Dodgers back in

546
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, and things didn't really end right for

547
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 3: Max Schurz and the Dodgers. We'll get into that a

548
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: little bit later on Steve Sacks and certainly how about

549
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 3: George Springer wearing one on the left wrist on Saturday night?

550
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: From Yamamoto Now, the Blue Jay fans, Steve started booing

551
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: and getting after Yamamoto, and you know, the guys behind

552
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 3: the home plate are barking out at him. I don't

553
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: think he's trying to hit him at that point. Let's

554
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: just keep in mind that teams all postseason long. We

555
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: even talked about this last week what the Mariners were

556
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 3: trying to do to Springer, Pitch him inside, get him

557
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: uncomfortable in the plate. There's nothing wrong with pitching inside

558
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 3: in baseball. In twenty twenty five. Now, Steve Sacks, all

559
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you do once and you try to

560
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: back the guy up and make sure he's not comfortable

561
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: in the plate, and you're all of a sudden trying

562
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: to hit the guy. Know the game Blue Jay fans?

563
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, maybe they think it's a hockey game. I

564
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 7: don't know, but look, you're not trying to hit anybody,

565
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 7: all right, get over it. I think Springer's first at

566
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 7: bat where he swung at every single pitch ye that

567
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 7: Yamamodo threw up there. I thought it would be great

568
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 7: on the line drive that he hit the left field

569
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 7: for the hit. I thought it would be that was

570
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 7: a pitch to bury a splitter in the ground because

571
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 7: he was swinging. He was in swing mode. They call

572
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 7: that swing mode where he's basically if you throw a

573
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 7: paper airplane up there, he's gonna swing at it. So

574
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 7: you gotta make sure that you can't give that dude anything.

575
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 7: Why would you give him anything to hit when he's.

576
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 6: Gonna swing at it.

577
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 7: Anyway you can get him out out of the strike zone,

578
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 7: don't throw him a strike. I thought it was a great,

579
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 7: great time to bury that splitter, and I don't know

580
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 7: if he just made a mistake and got the ball

581
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 7: right in the middle of the plate, but he hammered

582
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 7: that pitch.

583
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, this mistake.

584
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 7: Pitch, and so what I mean, you know everybody's everybody

585
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 7: makes mistakes. But you saw the rest of the game.

586
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 7: It wasn't the same thing. Okay, it was a much

587
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 7: different story. But this guy, this guy is uber aggressive.

588
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 7: He understands that he's trying to turn around the narrative. Well,

589
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 7: we're gonna drag him, you know, a little bit and

590
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 7: go deep in the count. He doesn't want to. He's

591
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 7: gonna basically swing. If it's close, he's gonna be hacking.

592
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 7: He hit thirty two home runs this year. Okay, he

593
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 7: had a big year. It's because he's just going in

594
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 7: swing mode. And you know, I think it'll be a

595
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 7: different story now. It's you know, when you're talking about

596
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 7: a guy like Glass, Now, how is he going.

597
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 3: To pitch him?

598
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 7: Probably the same way, pitch him inside a lot through

599
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 7: that great, great big curveball to change the eye angle

600
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 7: of him.

601
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 6: And that should do it.

602
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: I think, because he was on the cheating twenty seventeen

603
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: Houston Astros.

604
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 7: Oh and raises its uglyhead again, right.

605
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: And that's what people immediately go to. But let's let's

606
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: be smart about it. A bass team. Was he on

607
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 3: tim the cheating twenty seventeen Houston Ashows, the team that

608
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: cheted their way past the Yankees in the American League

609
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: and then cheat either way against the Dodgers in seven

610
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: games in the World Series though, And.

611
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 6: What were they doing specifically.

612
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: Banging trash cans?

613
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 6: Got it?

614
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: Allegedly there was buzzers involved, but we can't prove that,

615
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: but we do know there's trash cans.

616
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 6: Okay, a little.

617
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 7: Deeper, was there was there some audio or some electronics

618
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 7: from the outfield that's been alleged, Yes, and then right

619
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 7: into the guy by the by the dugout with a

620
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 7: garbage can and then bang the can fastball coming.

621
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go.

622
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 7: We could do that pretty quickly, you know. Yeah, that's theoretically.

623
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it.

624
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 7: We weren't there, but theoretically that could happen.

625
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And George Springer was a big part of that

626
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: twenty seven team that won a World Series but cheated.

627
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 3: The name George cheat and Springer gotcha. He'll be leading

628
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: off of the Toronto Blue Jays tonight in Game three

629
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: of this World Series. Not to take anything away, he's

630
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 3: a really good player. He is.

631
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 6: He's a really good a good player.

632
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: Man.

633
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: He's just always going to be associated with the twenty

634
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: seventeen Houston Astros. Dodger fan should never let him live

635
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: it down for what he was a part of. And

636
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: but in no means was I'm a Momodo trying to

637
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: hit him as he did there to lead off the

638
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: third inning in what is a one nothing game as

639
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: it was Dodger fans keep in mind and Blue Jay

640
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: fans out there, that run that hit by pitch to

641
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: George Springer actually tied the game at one on the

642
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: Kirk Sack fly later in the third. So it actually

643
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: came back to bite Yamamoto and the Dodgers. They wouldn't

644
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: do it on purpose. You're not going to hit the

645
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 3: leadoff hitter in the third inning and put them on

646
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 3: base just because you're still mad about something that happened

647
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen. That's something you handled during the regular.

648
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 7: Season, right, Yeah, you don't, you exactly what I mean.

649
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 7: The only way that you're going to hit the dude is,

650
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 7: you know, if it's a blowout either way, and you

651
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 7: just you know, you really don't care not you're trying

652
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 7: to hit him. But I'm gonna pitch real inside if

653
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 7: I do hit him, so what uh, I'm not I'm

654
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 7: not a fan of hunting up up in the strike

655
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 7: zone when you're gonna hit somebody. Yeah, the best place

656
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 7: to hit him is is I mean the most the

657
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 7: best place to hit him, if you're a pitcher is

658
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 7: hit him right in the ribcage. That's that's the best spot.

659
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 7: I got hit once by Rick Russell, and this guy

660
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 7: had a really hard, nasty sinker and he hit me

661
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 7: right under the armpit okay, and crack my ribcage my

662
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 7: one bone there, And I didn't sleep for like two weeks.

663
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 7: It was so hard to get I was sitting like

664
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 7: three four hours a night of sleep because that is

665
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 7: just a paralyzing place to get hit.

666
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 6: So, if you're gonna hit.

667
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 7: Somebody, yeah, I'm not a fan of the head never

668
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 7: never up there, but boy, you can bury one in

669
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 7: the ribcage to do some major damage.

670
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna hear from manager Dave Roberts coming up a

683
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: Game three of the World Series. Good morning, Abe, what's

684
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: on your mind? Hey?

685
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 8: From Morning Scam? Great doctor victory on Saturday? You think

686
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 8: we could get Derek Jeter to say that you show,

687
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 8: Hey won't stretch out ten batters and hit three home

688
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 8: runs again? Because boy was at a hot take. And also,

689
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 8: what's up with that guy we're in the KFC tuo

690
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 8: trying to bring some overseas curse and trying to get

691
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 8: in a Yama motive had got backfired. And another intelligible

692
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 8: was it was Varsher who turned down my dog t

693
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 8: shirt from Big poppy. So there's a lot of things

694
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 8: that are not going in the Blue Jays favor now.

695
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 8: Hope to see glass Now dominate tonight and just major

696
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 8: propsy Yamamoto chess master then going into the dugout taking notes.

697
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 8: I mean, this guy is a student of the game

698
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 8: and everything worked in a favor. That's all I gotta say.

699
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 8: Go Dodgers, all right, thanks a lot of able.

700
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Colonel Sanders sitting behind home played in Toronto at

701
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: the Rogers Center during Game two was in fact somebody

702
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 3: who was paid there to be there and pitching and

703
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 3: you know in the background.

704
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 6: Okay, I don't get that. What is that?

705
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't understand the curse there or

706
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 3: what the what about.

707
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 6: You know, fried chicken curse? Is that what it is?

708
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: I guess I'm not really a lot of people are

709
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 3: pointing blame at the Jonas Brothers for their mini concert

710
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: there after the fifth inning in which they did the

711
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 3: stand up to cancer, which was fantastic, but then they

712
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: decided to have a little mini concert there.

713
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't get that.

714
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 7: That slowed the game down. And I think the stand

715
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 7: up to cancer was amazing. I think it's a very

716
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 7: touching thing to do.

717
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 6: It's a it's a.

718
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 7: Great uh, it's a great cause, of course, but to

719
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 7: have these guys kind of promote their own you know,

720
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 7: it's just it kind of takes away from it.

721
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: I hope they don't do that again.

722
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Jonas Brothers singing in center field, delaying the

723
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 3: game for another two minutes was a little weird by

724
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball to do it, you know, time and place.

725
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: I don't think that was the right time or place

726
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 3: to have a concert there from the Jonas brothers. But

727
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: the comments made by Derek Jeter that Able is referring

728
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 3: to making the rounds on social media before game two,

729
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: he said there was no or maybe after game one

730
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: he made the comment Derek Jeter on Fox that he

731
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: was not going to throw a complete game like he

732
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: did his last time out, referring to Yamamoto. He said,

733
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: there's no way he threw a complete game the last time.

734
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: There is no way, zero chance that he throws a

735
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: complete game like he did last time. And what happened, Yeah,

736
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: goes out there and throws it.

737
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 6: I wouldn't expect that from from Derek Jeter.

738
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 7: You know, he knows the game too much and he

739
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 7: knows that could happen with Yamamoto for sure.

740
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: Well, it just tells you how few and far between

741
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: it's happened in baseball. I mean, last time was Kurt

742
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 3: schillingback in two thousand and one. So if he wanted

743
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 3: to go out in a limb, I mean, he odds

744
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: are he probably would have been right. But yeah, I

745
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 3: mean I get it completely. What are the odds?

746
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 6: Right? I get it. I get what he's thinking.

747
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 7: I mean the odds of that are I mean, I mean,

748
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 7: he's right to think that, But I don't know if

749
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 7: I would be saying and going against a guy like

750
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 7: Yamamoto because he's that good. But what are the odds?

751
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 7: They're not They're not great, So I understand where he's

752
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 7: coming from.

753
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,920

00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

772
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 10: So, just fired up for the boys to get back

773
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 10: in this series. Proud of them for doing that, Proud

774
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 10: of Yamamoto for the pitcher that he's becoming. The guys

775
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 10: just all worlds. And let's see the boys turn into

776
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 10: that big blue wrecking crew that we know they can be.

777
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 10: With the offense, they really haven't woken up. They've been

778
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 10: scoring about five to four runs or less, still winning

779
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 10: a lot of games in the playoffs. But let's see

780
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 10: him really wake up at home and take it to

781
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 10: the Jays.

782
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 3: Go Dodgers, all right, appreciate him? Good point there, Yeah,

783
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 3: I mean, this series is tied at a game of peace.

784
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 3: They scored four runs, certainly in Game one, two of

785
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 3: which came on a home run late in a blowout

786
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: eleven to two game that they were losing late on

787
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: Friday night. But Saturday night they put up a five

788
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 3: spot and for the most part of the game the

789
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: offense was nowhere to be found. It was sleeping. It

790
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: was non existent. So to think that this series is

791
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: tied at one and the Dodgers offense really hasn't done

792
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: a lot the big boppers, it really hasn't. I mean,

793
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 3: Will Smith has been the guy Saturday Night. But where's Mookie?

794
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 3: Where's Freddy Freeman?

795
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:57,400

Speaker 7: Uh.

872
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 3: The caller earlier referenced the Curse of the Colonel Saxy

873
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 3: and one of our great listeners on x Eric Kaufman

874
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 3: sent me a link to the Curse of the Colonel,

875
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: which is a real thing. Apparently, I mean this is real.

876
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 3: Japanese urban legend holds that the ghost of the KFC

877
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 3: founder Colonel Sanders, placed a curse on the Hanshin Tigers

878
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 3: in the Japanese Baseball League. The curse was said to

879
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,760
Speaker 3: be placed on the team because of the colonel's anger

880
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 3: over treatment of one of his storefront statues, which was

881
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 3: thrown into a nearby river by Hanshin fans before the

882
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty five Central League pennant. As common with sports curses,

883
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: the Curse of the Colonel was used to explain the

884
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 3: team's failures in years afterwards. They appear in the Japanese

885
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 3: Series three more times after nineteen eighty five and lost

886
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 3: before finally winning in twenty twenty three. Comparences comparisons to

887
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: this is the Boston Red Sox and the Curse of

888
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 3: the Bambino until they finally won the World Series in

889
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 3: two thousand and four. So the Curse of the Bambino

890
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 3: in the Curse of the Colonel to baseball, curses said

891
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 3: to have been out there and that's why the guy

892
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 3: was dressed as the Colonel Sanders behind home Playton Game

893
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 3: two on Saturday night.

894
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 7: Okay this now, look, I mean, if you believe in

895
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 7: legend and curse whatever, I don't.

896
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't either.

897
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 7: To the vam Beino, no, okay, if you're going to

898
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 7: cancel that one out, please don't believe in the curse.

899
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 7: Of Colonel Sanders. I don't know how many hits Colonel

900
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 7: Sanders got, but I don't think it was a lot.

901
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 7: I've studied a little bit about Colonel Sanders because I

902
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 7: like history. I know it started in Kentucky at a

903
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 7: gas station side of the road. He was trying to

904
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 7: figure out a way to make more money for his family.

905
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 7: I think was Depression era. Time he got this recipe,

906
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 7: started cooking it. You know, had to make sure his

907
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 7: hands were clean when he served the chicken as opposed

908
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 7: to filling up the gas tank. But he was serving

909
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 7: chicken at his gas stations and that's how it started.

910
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 7: And Okay, but I don't know how he's going to

911
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 7: tie into that, but like he's some you know, bay ruth.

912
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: Now, the curse of the Cleans has been used as

913
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 3: a boogeyman threat to those who would divulge the KFC

914
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: recipe in recent years. So this urban legend of the

915
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: Curse of the Colonel has kind of grown legs in

916
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 3: multiple ways, but the biggest being the Japanese baseball team.

917
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 3: And they're fans that threw a statue into a river

918
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 3: and then they have been since cursed by Colonel Sanders.

919
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: That again, why Colonel Sanders look alike was dressed up

920
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 3: behind home plate of Game two of the World Series. Yeah.

921
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 7: I got to ask you how many championships did they

922
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 7: win before they before they know, threw it in the river.

923
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, offhand, I don't know, Probably not a lot. Yeah,

924
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 3: they won an eighty five and because that, they had

925
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 3: then an eighteen year losing streak, placing last or next

926
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 3: to last in the league after nineteen eighty five. And

927
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 3: because of that, fans then looked for a reason, and

928
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,919
Speaker 3: the reason they came up was was the statue, which

929
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: they then failed to recover. Fans were so convinced of

930
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 3: this in Japan, Sacks that they had numerous attempts by

931
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 3: fans and companies hired out to try to dig up

932
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 3: the statue in the river. They used divers and dredging

933
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: and could not recover the statue. Come on that, fans

934
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: even apologize to the store manager begging for forgiveness after

935

Speaker 6: I had goodness though.

944
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,520

945
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 3: couldn't pitch deep into the game and he gave up

946
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: a ton of runs and a ton of hits, and wow,

947
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 3: Yoshinoba Yamamoto. We may have lost him for the rest

948
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 3: of the postseason emotionally mentally because the Curse of the

950
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000

951
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 7: about that anymore. Okay, So he he dowsed that theory

952
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 7: because he went out there and threw a gem and

953
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,959
Speaker 7: he was absolutely shoving the whole time.

954
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 6: So that's gone.

955
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: He was fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

956
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 7: It's nice that somebody had the you know, I guess

957
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 7: the effort that they put in to call in and

958
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:13,640

Speaker 3: We appreciate Eric for sending us the Curse of the

960
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 3: Colonel information. How about the effort to have somebody paid

961
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 3: to sit behind home plate in what we're probably five

962
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 3: thousand dollars seats to have him dressed up based on

963
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 3: a curse from the Japanese Baseball League that goes back

964
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 3: forty years. You mean, that's that's pretty good digging. That's

965
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 3: pretty in depth Japanese baseball knowledge.

966
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,200

00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: Right.

968
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 7: You know, I wonder who paid for that dude's seat, KFC,

969
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 7: because you drop a five grand a night. It's not cheap, no,

970
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 7: but it's cheaper than the hotel.

971
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: By the way, if this series goes back to Toronto,

972
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: are we going to get a hotel room and do

973

Speaker 7: I should get a room well the the do the show.

976
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 7: You know, make sure it's a big room because I

977
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 7: need space, Tim, Yeah, I need a lot of space, bro,

978
