I'm sorry. 177 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 4: It's not the Jonathan club Man and the California the 178 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 4: California clubs on flower. 179 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,199 Speaker 2: We're watching parade highlights. It's Jonathan's cheeky cousin, Johnny. 180 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 4: The thing I thought, The first thing I thought was 181 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: how can you have a seven game series, go seven games, 182 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: win four of them and say that Toronto was the 183 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: better team. You could say Toronto was by far the 184 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: second best team in the major leagues, and that they 185 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: were a hell of a matchup for the Dodgers, and 186 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: they made it really hard on the Dodgers to overcome 187 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 4: their greatness. Toronto's greatness and their scrappy nature and their 188 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 4: approach at the plate and their pitching and you Savage 189 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 4: and all the different things that they had. But the 190 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 4: Dodgers won four out of seven games. 191 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: Oh, you go up three to two and you're playing 192 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: and you have to just win one of two games 193 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: at home. In game six or seven. 194 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 3: Or two outs away from one and all. 195 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: And I think that's sort of what the pushback has 196 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: been about them being the better team, is that the 197 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 2: execution was what doomed them. That you've got a guy 198 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: that should not have slid into home plate. If he 199 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: just runs through that force outh that Migey Rojas had 200 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: to dig out and doesn't slow his momentum in a 201 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 2: play that he was out by maybe a half of 202 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: an inch, they win the World Series if the guy 203 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 2: doesn't get doubled up on a crate. And you can 204 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: do that forever for any team and play through the 205 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: circumstances of one play that could have changed everything. 206 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: Because as you go farther and farther in a championship 207 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 4: and it becomes more and more meaningful, the margins become 208 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: smaller and smaller, and literally you saw exactly what those 209 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 4: margins were. Two inches year, two inches there, This guy's out, 210 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 4: This guy's safe. 211 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: How did Pie has hold onto that ball crashing into 212 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: Kei k a Hernandez full speed? 213 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: Get out of the way a little bit. 214 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like, yeah, that's that's championship baseball. Like 215 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: that's ultimately when you have two teams that are playing 216 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: either at a super high level or they're all trying 217 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: to overcome the adversity in game and throughout the course 218 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: of a series. Yeah, that's what's going to decide a 219 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: seven game series that ends up going eleven innings after 220 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: Game three win eighteen innings. It just I think the 221 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: better way to put it is Toronto was a much 222 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 2: better team than a lot of people gave them credit 223 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: for being when this series started and the way the 224 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: odds laid out and the number one, you know, the 225 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: favorite was Dodgers in five by the odds makers, and 226 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: I think that's what led to a lot of the 227 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: pushback of well, they were a lot better than the 228 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 2: Dodgers in this series. They just they played a real 229 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: they top it was an incredible world series. He got 230 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 2: an unbelievable seven game series. 231 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 4: You got to put your foot on the throat of 232 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 4: the champion and finish it. And they were close, but 233 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 4: they did not finish it. 234 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: They had eighteen innings. They were tame three. They were 235 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: the better team in Canada. No, they were not. Well, 236 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: you know, they lost three of the four games. Just 237 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: as far as yes, if you were to pit all 238 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: the baseball teams in Canada against one another. 239 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 4: How dare you car they were the best Canadian team available, Matt. 240 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 4: They were the best team tennis. 241 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to dig into that a little bit, 242 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: you know. We gotta get into the Northwest territories there 243 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: and see what's over there. 244 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 4: But the timeline is as follows. Last November two, I 245 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: believe I was in Boise, Idaho to do a football game, 246 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 4: and that was when the Dodgers had the twenty twenty 247 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 4: four championship parade, Matt, which you said it was inspiring 248 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 4: and this was even crazy. 249 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: It was nuts out there. 250 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 4: Which is amazing to think. And then February eleventh, they 251 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: were among the first to report for spring training. March twelfth, 252 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 4: the Dodgers flew to Tokyo. They played the Cubs March 253 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: eighteenth and nineteenth in Japan, Remember when they weren't ever 254 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 4: gonna lose. 255 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: Two weeks before any other team had to play a 256 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: baseball game. 257 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 4: Then they began the regular season eight to zero. On 258 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 4: May third, they were twenty three to ten, and then 259 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 4: the Dodgers from then on were basically a five hundred 260 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 4: team from early May through September sixth boo and over 261 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 4: the next one hundred and nine games. They were fifty 262 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 4: five and fifty four through that period. September sixth loss 263 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: was the Yamamoto near no hitter in Baltimore, which does 264 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: carry a certain amount of irony given what's happened since then. 265 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 4: And after the Dodgers went fifteen and five to close 266 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 4: out the regular season, they were a ninety three and 267 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: sixty nine team, and then the postseason hit and they 268 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: were thirteen and four in the postseason. 269 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: That dominated the first three rounds. 270 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 4: And they clinched the World Series in Toronto on November first, 271 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 4: so one year almost to the day they clinched the 272 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: World Series. After the parade from twenty twenty four, Opening 273 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 4: Day twenty twenty six is March twenty sixth at Dodger 274 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 4: Stadium versus the Diamondbacks, and God willing, we'll all be 275 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 4: there to celebrate this team and their efforts for a 276 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 4: three peat, which everybody was. I was on the front 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 4: of everybody's lips, in the back of their throats to that. 278 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 279 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: Even sho Hao Tani, who delivered his address to the 280 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium crowd in English and English and thanked them 281 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: for all their support, said he loved winning the championship 282 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 2: and that he wanted to do it again and that 283 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: he would see them back there next year. So yes, 284 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: that was the prevailing sentiment. They had a plane that 285 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: spelled it out in the sky, the pat Riley trademark 286 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 2: when he was with the Lakers three peat that they 287 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: were not able to accomplish. But there's no reason to 288 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 2: believe with what this team has, who's locked up, the 289 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: amount of finances they have at their disposal to plug 290 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: any other holes that they may seek the plug. 291 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 4: They'll be a contender, no doubt. Here is yamamotos greeting 292 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 4: in English, which was pretty cool. 293 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: Also, I love it. 294 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: I love. 295 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 4: Pretty awesome. Yamamoto was fantastic, been pretty great, and it's 296 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 4: been a lot of fun to be a part of this. 297 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 4: Just the way that we are Matt and I doing 298 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: the afternoon drive show here on your Dodger station, which 299 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: places us quite often. 300 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:25,479 Speaker 2: For six months.

Everybody in town is in 311 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 4: a great mood, maybe a little bit hungover, maybe a 312 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: little bit tired, and a lot of people are going 313 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 4: to need a little bit of a rest, including David Vassey. 314 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: I wish Tim Kates could have a rest, but he's 315 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: still got to produce great sports talk. In fact, great 316 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 4: sports talks. This should be a car headed here right now. 317 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 4: Tim's a worker, man.

A phone calls to 326 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: let the people have their say before first pitch of 327 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: Game seven. That pulled in twenty six million viewers. Yeah, 328 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: the Dodgers have ruined baseball twenty sit. Would you care 329 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: to take a stab at how many people watched Game 330 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 2: seven of the NBA Finals in June. Now it was 331 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City versus the Indiana Pacers. It was not the Dodgers, 332 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: and the Pacers had all their players hurt. They were 333 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 2: all hurt. But if you would like to take a stab, 334 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: or how about this the last since Michael Jordan. If 335 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: we take Jordan off the board. 336 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: Everybody's sports ratings are on fire except the NBA. 337 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 2: But remember when the NBA was taking out baseball. I remember, 338 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 2: you don't want baseball, you want basketball? Is what you want? 339 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 2: EDESPN spent all the money on the NBA and they 340 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: turned down baseball. And now they've come crawling back BAGBA. 341 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: He's got the fashion show, NBA stuff and really cool. 342 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: So the Oklahoma City Thunder Indiana Pacers Game seven last 343 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 2: year had four point eight million viewers. The Dodgers Blue 344 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: Jays Game seven, a team that plays in Canada. 345 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 3: Hey we can sniff that in college football, brother. 346 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: Twenty six million people watched the Jordan Utah Jazz nineteen 347 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 2: ninety eight, Michael's farewell the last dance. It had been 348 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 2: advertised all year. Brian Russell, how dare you he pushed 349 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 2: off twenty I mean it was a little love tap. 350 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: What do you want? 351 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 2: Twenty two million? This was four million more than a 352 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan farewell. Bulls repeat. That's how big baseball is, 353 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: and pretty much it's because of the Dodgers. That's why. 354 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: Because the Dodgers are issued think that. I mean, let's 355 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: let's hold off guys. You don't think a Brewer's Blue 356 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: Jays would have done that, would have done in a 357 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 2: game seven, would have done. I'm gonna say no, would 358 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: not have done six. 359 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 4: I want to see if that fat catcher could hit 360 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 4: another home run? Baby put it off. 361 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: It was higher than any and it was Look, the 362 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: Dodgers kind of handled the Yankees. But Game two after 363 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 2: that dramatic Game one, was nineteen million. This was seven 364 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: million more people watching than that Game two against the 365 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: Yankees last year, after Freddy's Grand Slam. 366 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 4: For MLB Baseball and the Dodgers, it was a real 367 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 4: home run. Real Oh corrections and retractions. Last year, the 368 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 4: parade was November first, so. 369 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: We are corrections and retractions. 370 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 4: A little over a year since that last parade. The 371 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 4: Jays outscored the Dodgers over seven games. Well, but that 372 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 4: doesn't mean you're the better team. They blew them out 373 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 4: in game two. I mean, that's that's the difference. Okay, Yeah, 374 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 4: they had a blowout. They blew them out in game two. 375 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: You had a pinch hit grand slam in that game. 376 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 4: You had the disaster of the middle relief falling apart 377 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: with em at Shean, and then everything else was was one, 378 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: like you said, by inches, by decisions, you know, not 379 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 4: made just by managers and pulling pitchers or putting in 380 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 4: pinch runners or whatever it may be. By players getting 381 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: too big of a lead, not a big enough lead. 382 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: That guy with the three names saying his family's getting 383 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: threatened by what supposed to be peaceful Canadians because he 384 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 4: didn't take a big enough secondary lead that would have 385 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 4: won the game. That's that's what happens in the game seven. 386 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 4: Sorry the ball got stuck. Yeah, think of away. 387 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 2: And by the way, if your defensive replacement center fielder 388 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 2: who doesn't play a whole lot doesn't know the rules, 389 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: and raise his hands and actually tries to dig that 390 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 2: thing out first. They lose. Game is over, Dodgers do 391 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: not win like that's that's Championship Baseball and circumstance. 392 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: I am Fortune's fault and the Dodgers feeling the fortune. 393 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 4: Ninth World Series title in franchise history, third since twenty twenty. 394 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 4: A beautiful celebration in Los Angeles today, and it seemed 395 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: like a very nice and safe family celebration as well, 396 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 4: which is something we can all be grateful.

What's it been like? 432 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, growing up you always saw the Laker parades, 433 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 5: the Dodger parades, and even being there for the Shaq 434 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 5: and Kobe Gasal parades. Obviously amazing scenes. We'll never forget 435 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 5: the rally at the coliseum, but this was bigger than 436 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 5: any Dodger parade that I have ever seen before or 437 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 5: personally witnessed. And I could tell you the players on 438 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 5: the bus that I was on felt the same way. 439 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: They were overwhelmed by how much fans cared about them 440 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 5: and cared about this team, and how many fans there 441 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 5: were every inch of that parade route six seven, sometimes 442 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 5: fifteen twenty deep, on top of the bus stop, on 443 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 5: top of light posts, in trees, in buildings. It was 444 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 5: just amazing to see the signs that were out there 445 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 5: were so creative. The players saw them. If you made signs, 446 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 5: trust me, the players saw you. They loved them. There 447 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 5: is just an overwhelming amount of emotion in downtown LA 448 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 5: for these players today and they felt it. It. If 449 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 5: I could convey anything to the fans that are listening 450 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 5: that were there in Downtown. Players when they're playing are 451 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 5: locked in. They may or may not hear you, they 452 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 5: may or may not feed off your energy. But in 453 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 5: this situation they were able to take in everything. And 454 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 5: a guy like Will Smith, who doesn't show a lot 455 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 5: of emotion, was completely thrilled that people were showing him 456 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 5: the love they were showing them, and he reciprocated. Blake 457 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 5: SNeW is doing the sixth seven and every few inches, 458 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 5: and everybody was doing it back to him. There was 459 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 5: one great sign that said you could get some sleep, 460 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 5: nouse now. I mean, they saw all these things and 461 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 5: it was just a great day. 462 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 3: Dave. 463 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: Just going back to Saturday. You know, it's Monday. We 464 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: haven't had a chance to talk to you. I mean, 465 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: anybody that watched that game. I watched it, and I 466 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: think I moved my seat or I stood up in 467 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 2: probably twenty different locations. It was so nerve racking and intense. 468 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: What was it like being at Rogers Center and just 469 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: kind of going through What was the range of emotions 470 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: I can only imagine for people that were there. 471 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, starting in game six, the Bluejays thought they had 472 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 5: that game. Even in the ninth inning, when the Dodgers 473 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 5: got into some trouble, but Ernie Clement made Tyler Glassnow's 474 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 5: job so much easier when he uncharacteristically swung at the 475 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 5: first pitch Tyler glass Now through coming out of the 476 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 5: bullpen to pop it up, and then keyk Hernandez making 477 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 5: that incredible catch and throw it them Gael Rojas, who 478 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 5: made an incredible play on the other end of it. 479 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 5: It was just a stun crowd at Rogers Center that 480 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 5: the game ended that way in Game six, and then 481 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 5: before Game seven, you could feel a nervous energy before 482 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 5: the game in Toronto. They were expecting the worst to 483 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 5: happen to them, but they never imagined it would happen 484 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 5: this way. And with two outs in the ninth inning, 485 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 5: it was the loudest I had heard that building, and 486 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 5: it got pretty loud. And when Miguel Rojas hit that 487 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 5: ball down the left field lines, you could hear the 488 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 5: entire crowd gas and then go completely silent. And when 489 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 5: Vladimir Guerrero Junior hit his fly ball the straight away 490 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 5: center field, they thought they walked it off on a 491 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 5: Laddie Junior home run, But in that part of the ballpark, 492 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 5: it's not going even Laddie didn't that flip. He knew 493 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 5: it wasn't going out. And then for Will Smith to 494 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 5: hit a hanging breaking ball. I mean, that's when Toronto's 495 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 5: worst nightmares came through. And there's just so many different 496 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 5: things to unpack, the backstories of Yamamoto even being available 497 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 5: in game seven, Miguel Rojas playing with the intercostal strain 498 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 5: that he injured in the NLDS diving for third base 499 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 5: to tag the base before Alec Bohm. That came back 500 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 5: into play after game six when he celebrated, he may 501 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 5: have tweaked it, and that's the reason why he wasn't 502 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 5: in the game at the end. It wasn't because Dave 503 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 5: Roberts saw Kim was a better defensive solution. It was 504 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 5: because Rojas was limited and what he could do physically 505 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 5: at that point. And Yamamoto got work to Andrew Friedman 506 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 5: in the wee hours of the morning after Game six 507 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 5: that I would be willing to see if I can 508 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 5: go for game seven, and we detailed that in the 509 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 5: morning and in the afternoon. But there's just so many 510 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 5: different stories to that played out behind the scenes that 511 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 5: we shared that allowed all of that to transpire, Dave. 512 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: The thing that really stood out to me, not just 513 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: in that Game seven, but the Game six double play, 514 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 2: is when there was a play that had to be made, 515 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 2: just execution and the situational baseball that was played, the 516 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 2: IQ of this team first and nothing. Look, I don't 517 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: mean to make it a shot at the Blue Jays, 518 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: but just comparing these two teams, you know, sliding it 519 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: home instead of running through that might have won the 520 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: World Series. The fact that Justin Dean knows to put 521 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: his hands in the air instead of trying to dig 522 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 2: that baseball out, Like it seemed like every situational play, 523 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 2: Mickey Rojas knowing he had to go home with that 524 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 2: throw even though he's fallen backwards. It felt like this 525 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: team was so prepared for every important moment where they 526 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 2: had to execute with precision, like there there are no missteps. 527 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 5: It felt like in Game six and Game seven there 528 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 5: was not, And it seemed like the first five games 529 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 5: of the World Series it was the opposite. The Blue 530 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 5: Jays were playing better baseball, they were doing the little 531 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 5: things better than the Dodgers were. But in Game six 532 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 5: and seven, it was the Dodgers that played better defense, 533 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 5: had better base running and better execution. And going back 534 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 5: to that, you want to talk about luck. The only 535 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 5: thing you could say was lucky for the Dodgers to 536 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 5: a certain extent was that ball getting stuck in right 537 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 5: center field, because outside of that there was not a 538 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 5: lot of luck. And I'm not sure if you guys 539 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 5: realize this, but the Dodgers have advanced scouts, right. They 540 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 5: understand not only the players, but also the dynamics of 541 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 5: every ballpark. And the advanced kind of report that they 542 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 5: talked to their outfielders about before the World Series was 543 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 5: that if a does get stuck like that, because there 544 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 5: is a possibility to play the place. So justin Dean 545 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 5: did not play that correctly when he stopped. The Dodgers 546 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 5: had told him to play through in that situation, and 547 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 5: luckily he had a veteran in Key k Hernandez in 548 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 5: left field that was shouting at him to pick up 549 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 5: the ball and throw it in because the Dodgers told 550 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 5: their outfielders play it through and then we can get 551 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 5: New York to replay it to see whether or not 552 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 5: it was launched or not. So in fact, it was 553 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 5: Keith k Hernandez and his veteran leadership in the outfield 554 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 5: that got justin Dean to eventually grab that ball and 555 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 5: throw it back in. 556 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 4: So regardless of whether or not somebody grabbed the ball, 557 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: that was going to be right, that was wedged, it 558 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 4: was going to get called a double anyway. 559 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 5: Right, it was one hundred miles an hour, and it 560 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,479 Speaker 5: got stuck. You know, when you hit a ball one 561 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 5: hundred miles an hour, it's going to bounce off the 562 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 5: wall or bounce on the track and go into the stands. 563 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 5: But because it got wedged, I mean, there is no 564 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 5: disputing that it got stuck. And that's part of that ballpark. 565 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 5: The umpires before the series walk the ballpark and they 566 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 5: inspect those things, so they were aware of the dynamics 567 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 5: and that possibility as well. Dave. 568 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: Overall, what are you? 569 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 4: David Vassa joining us right now, hopefully his last interview 570 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 4: in a while and he can get back and spend 571 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 4: some time with his family after ten months of hard 572 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 4: work covering this. 573 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 5: We show on Wednesday night, Petros wrap up shows. 574 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: I need you tomorrow too, Dave, I need you tomorrow, 575 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: I need you Wednesday morning, I need you Wednesday not 576 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: you got to go. 577 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 4: On with Rick D's Dave Dave. What about people that 578 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 4: say Toronto was the better team because they outscored the 579 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 4: Dodgers or because of the way they approached the Dodgers. 580 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 4: That seemed even Bill Handle asked me that this morning. 581 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 3: On the radio. 582 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 4: How could Toronto be the better team when they lost 583 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 4: a seven game series? 584 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 5: Exactly, Petro, the Blue Jays were not a better team, 585 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 5: but Dodgers out of Homeland. The Blue Jays ten to 586 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 5: five Game one, and that was part of the reason 587 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 5: why they were able to overcome hitting just two oh 588 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 5: three in the World Series. And I know Fox was 589 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 5: slashing this up. The records of teams had outslugged the opponent, 590 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 5: and every single postseason game this year, it was overwhelmingly 591 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 5: in favor of the teams that hit more home runs. 592 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 5: And the Dodgers won Game seven because a lot of 593 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 5: hitting two home runs. But the Dodgers, the coaches, the 594 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 5: players on the flight back home had the utmost respect 595 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 5: for the Blue Jays. They gave them everything and more. 596 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 5: Their style was very hard to put away. They didn't 597 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 5: chase like the Phillies. They had a lot left in 598 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 5: the tank, unlike the Brewers. So there's a reason why 599 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,719 Speaker 5: many aren't considering including the guys that were involved on 600 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 5: the Dodgers side, that it was the best World Series 601 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 5: they have seen and the best played Game seven that 602 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 5: we we have seen, and at least fifty years we 603 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 5: don't know what happened fifty years ago, but in the 604 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 5: last fifty years, everybody believes that I spoke to on 605 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 5: the team that has been covering baseball in Toronto, you 606 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 5: know those national types, that was the greatest Game seven ever. 607 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 2: Dave, you know the you know Dodgers' history better than anyone. 608 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 2: So I would assume, you know, we obviously remember Oral 609 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 2: Herscheiser's two complete games in the eighty eight World Series, 610 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 2: But is is Yamamoto's pitching performance? And I was gonna say, 611 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 2: I would assume there's a Sandy Kofax thing in there. 612 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: I've got to believe from whatever sixties sixty five, But like, 613 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: where is this Yamamoto thing gonna go? Because it seems 614 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: like it's the best pitching performance. It's up there with 615 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 2: mad Bumgardner and Randy Johnson from two thousand and one 616 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 2: when it comes to the greatest that we've seen in 617 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 2: a World Series. 618 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 5: Even Oral Hersheiser said today multiple times on TV and 619 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 5: radio that what Yamamoto did exceeded what he did in 620 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 5: the NLCS when he was on, you know, the day 621 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 5: after pitching out of the bullpen for just one out. 622 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 5: Just consider this, We're talking about what Yamamoto did in games, 623 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 5: but let's not forget that guy was warming up to 624 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 5: come into the game hot for a possible nineteenth inning 625 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 5: in Game three. To me, that's the separator if you're 626 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 5: trying to put anybody in the same category as him. 627 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 3: The one and only David Vassa. 628 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 4: There is no other category that anybody can step to 629 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 4: when it comes to Dodger reporting. David Vassay, where's the crown? 630 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 4: The king of beers, just like a Budweiser Dave unbelievable 631 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 4: work and very very commendable stuff all day. Who was 632 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 4: your favorite person to talk to today? Edward James almost 633 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 4: Freddy Freeman. I mean you really got loose with it today. 634 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 5: I mean I was waiting for Freddie Freeman and there 635 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 5: he was, American me, Edward James almost standing right there. 636 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 5: So I figured, I, as you would say, Petros, give 637 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 5: the people of the city to see you, Dodd one 638 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 5: of their own, and Edward James almost. But I thought 639 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 5: the best speech on the stage was Yamamoto, who knew 640 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 5: he could speak that good of English. I've been he's 641 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 5: been dodging me for a pregame interview for two years. 642 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 5: Number two, I would say, obviously my two favorite interviews 643 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 5: were with Clayton kersh on Freddie Freeman at the Stadium. 644 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 5: I respect them so much, and that was the last 645 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 5: time I'm going to interview Kershaw on this type of setting, 646 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 5: So I took that in and as far as the 647 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 5: bus ride goes, you know, it was great talk being 648 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 5: on the same bus with smel Villa, with Will Smith, 649 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 5: with ta Oscar Hernandez and Andy Pajez. Just a great 650 00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 5: group of guys that I have thoroughly enjoyed covering all 651 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 5: season long. 652 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 4: I mean, I remember last off season we were kind 653 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 4: of resigned to the fact that Key K wasn't coming back, 654 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 4: or tay Oscar might not come back. We know Kershaws 655 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 4: not coming back. I don't know about Keith K. What 656 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 4: is it going to be like this year in the offseason, Dave, 657 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 4: what do you envision? 658 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 5: Well, if they lost this World Series, I really do 659 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 5: believe there would have been serious change to get younger 660 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 5: because next year You're going to have Freddy Freeman at 661 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 5: thirty seven years old and a lot of thirty somethings 662 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 5: like you have to run it back. You have to 663 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 5: bring back Rojas, you have to bring back Keith Kay Hernandez. 664 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 5: How are the Dodgers, though, going to get younger? Because 665 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 5: I know that something that they're thinking about. Is it 666 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 5: trading for Stephen Kwan, who has talked about as a 667 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 5: trade deadline. Is it maybe knocking on the door of 668 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 5: this new national GM and asking about cj Abrams, their 669 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 5: young shortstop. The Dodgers at some point have to thread 670 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 5: that needle of running it back with these same veterans, 671 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 5: but at the same time find a way to get 672 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 5: younger because these guys are not going to be at 673 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 5: the top of their game or around for in the 674 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 5: next two years. I think they really have Andrew Friedman 675 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 5: has a real tough job this offseason to thread that needle. 676 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 2: Is there and Dave, sorry to put you on the 677 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,320 Speaker 2: spot if you don't know, is there a standout Japanese 678 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 2: player that we should expect to come following Otani Yamamoto Sasaki? 679 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 2: Because I would assume if there is a young I 680 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 2: don't know slugger, potential infielder to replace one of those 681 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: older folks that that could be on the list. 682 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 5: Right, there's a third baseman that could really hit in 683 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,919 Speaker 5: Japan that's going to be posted, and he is going 684 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 5: to sign with somebody this year. I don't believe it's 685 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 5: going to be with the Dodgers. Nex Monthsey has a 686 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 5: team option for only ten million dollars. The Dodgers are 687 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 5: most certainly going to pick that up. So at the 688 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 5: very least Monthsy is going to be their third basement 689 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,120 Speaker 5: for one more year. Something to keep an eye on 690 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 5: though in twenty twenty seven. If there is a twenty 691 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 5: twenty Seve isaac Parades, who's with the Astros, is a 692 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 5: great third baseman. He's a free agent after next season. 693 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 5: You know, we'll see where things are at. But he certainly, 694 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 5: you know, Andrew Freeman maps out not only the current 695 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 5: class but also two or three years down the road. 696 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 5: So let's see what happens. But Munsey will be back 697 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,800 Speaker 5: and know they're not going to sign that Japanese third basement. 698 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 4: AM five seventy and Spectrum Sportsnet, especially during the playoffs. 699 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 4: Like you said to Andrew Friedman, Dave, it's the same 700 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 4: with you. Los Angeles is lucky to have you cover 701 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 4: in this team. It brings a really, really unique perspective, 702 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 4: and I don't think most people get to know the 703 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 4: players the way that our fans do because of you 704 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 4: being embedded with the Dodgers. Have a great night and 705 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 4: enjoy your family. Thanks for doing it, David. 706 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 5: Thank you, guys.

Sh'll 778 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 7: do that with anybody, but this group is not just anybody. 779 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 7: You know this group you kind of heard a little bit. 780 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,759 Speaker 7: There's a lot of different personalities.
