Well, it's been 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.160 a long week off for your Los Angeles Dodgers, who 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.800 were last in action a week ago today, Yes, out 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.360 of Dodger Stadium. It was against the Milwaukee Brewers, Game 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.960 four of the NLCS show. Hey Otani had an historic 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:12.600 night on the mound, six shutout innings, allowed just two wits, 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.040 struck out ten along the way at the plate Superman Show, 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.480 Heyotani with the home run in the first inning to 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.480 give the Dodgers a one nothing lead. Otani went deep 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.280 again in the fourth inning, Dodgers were on top four 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.919 to nothing, and then in the seventh show, Ayotani went 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:30.280 deep for a third time. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.800 So Otani has to take time. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:37.679 He steps back in one ball in two strikes, The 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.200 big Righty McGill sets on the mount, here's the pitch, 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.160 and O'tani tries. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:52.040 One left center field? Did you show hey, o Tani? 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.680 The stuff of legend? 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.880 A performance we may never ever see again in Major 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.960 League Baseball. Six shutout innings on the mound, three home 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.080 runs in the game as the Dodgers beat the Brewers 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.960 last Friday, Game four of the NLCS, and that is 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:11.440 the top tier play the game, brought to you by 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.240 Arco Quality, top tier gas for less. With the four 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.600 game sweep over the Brewers, Dodgers punched their ticket to 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.840 the World Series and they had to wait a few 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.600 days to find out who their opponent would be. As 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.560 the Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays went back 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.080 and forth, and they went back to Toronto for a 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.800 Game six. They then went to a Game seven on 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.720 Monday night. Both teams scored in the first. The Mariners 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.320 took a three to one lead thanks to a cal 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.760 Raley home run in the fifth inning, it was looking 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.320 like the Dodgers were gonna go to the Pacific Northwest 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.960 and take on the Seattle Mariners until the seventh one. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:49.760 To oh pitch swing in the fightball left field indep 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:51.440 Rose Arena. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.200 Turns good. 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.680 Stringer Dinger four three Blue Jays in. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.960 The bottom of the seventh. 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.840 Blue Jays radio with the call George Springer a three 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.440 run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.640 of Game seven of the ALCS to give the Blue 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.839 Jays a four to three lead. They would go on 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.760 and close it out and get the win and punch 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.839 their ticket for a matchup against the Dodgers. For the 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.120 Toronto Blue Jays, it is their first World Series appearance 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:35.400 since nineteen ninety three. For the Dodgers, their second straight 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.599 World Series appearance, and they are the defending World Series champs. Tonight, 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.680 Game one of the Fall Classic, Blake snow on the 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.440 mound for the Dodgers. First pitch from Rogers Center in 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:47.760 Toronto coming up at five point fifteen and with more 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.120 we head out to the Gallpin Motors broadcast booth as 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.480 we welcome in Steven Nelson and Rick Monday, Guys. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.200 Tim Kats Happy Friday to you and every Dodger fan 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.279 back home in Los Angeles. We join you from to Toronto. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.160 We join you from the twenty twenty five World Series. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.240 And I'm not going to bury the lead. Rick Monday. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.960 I am surprised that the country of Canada did not 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.839 hold you up at customs. They let you through without 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.719 a problem, despite what you did to Montreal. Obviously not Toronto, 0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:17.800 but Montreal and the country of Canada back in nineteen 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:18.240 eighty one. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.839 Yeah, they don't care if this is Toronto, is this 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:22.560 fun or what? 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:23.120 Yeah? 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.640 I mean, this is what it's all about. You start 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.000 to think back to day one in spring training, a 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.080 camel back ranch, Glendale. Okay, the defending world champions come 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.200 into camp. Everybody's saying, well can you repeat? Can you repeat? Well? 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.039 Here they are with the biggest stage and it's the 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:40.200 best of seven and the Toronto Blue Jays have had 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.640 a sensational season and then really a turnaround if you 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.600 look at the last year, the last place in the East, 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.200 and then all of a sudden boom, here they are. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.720 They've earned it. The Dodgers have earned it. Now it's 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.719 going to be classic and who gets the leg up early? 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.360 The first two with Toronto they have the home field 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.240 of Vantages and back to la for three and if needed, 0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.520 coming back to Toronto for the final two games of 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:01.599 the seven games played. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.480 There are so many fascinating storylines to pick from in 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:09.400 this World Series. I'm curious to know which one or 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:13.039 two perhaps are top of mind, because again, it's a 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.120 long list of things that we could watch over these 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.599 next four to seven games. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.120 Well, I think the biggest thing is is being asked. 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.279 I know it was asked if Dave Roberts. It was 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.400 asked of everybody else in the Dodgers' organization at some 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.920 point in another if there's a World championship, here are 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.159 we looking at what can be labeled as a dynasty 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.680 in Major League Baseball? Most probably you're looking at one 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.960 of the most successful managers. If you look at the 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.680 tenure that Dave Roberts has had and what the Dodgers 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.880 have done over the years is incredible. Because when you 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.560 put on a Dodger uniform and you sign up to 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.960 play for them, there are expectations that are much higher 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.279 than other organizations. The expectation is not just to have 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.839 a good season. The expectation is to get to the 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:56.400 Big Dance. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.479 And here they are, the Dodgers trying to go back 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.600 to back, the first team in Major League Baseball since 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.760 the turn of the century, the Yankees, the Blue Jays 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.920 hosting a World Series game for the first time since. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.960 Joe Carter's historic walk off World. 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.040 Series clinching home run in nineteen ninety three when the 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.400 Jays went back to back. So the Dodgers are trying 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.920 to do what Toronto did in the early nineties. And 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.920 there's a lot of ties between these two organizations, a 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.520 lot of ties from the Dodgers here to the country 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.160 of Canada and the province of Ontario. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.480 Freddie Freeman is at the. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.040 Top of that list and top of mind of course, 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.120 with his parents, his late mother Rosemary and his father 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.920 Fred both being born and raised here in Ontario. And 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:42.080 you know, Freddie being back here mode, not just in Ontario, 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.200 but in the World Series, a stage that he has 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.520 dominated throughout his career, he figures to play a prominent 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:48.480 role once again. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.840 Well, the best of the best to perform best when 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.720 the lights are turned up the brightest. They don't get 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.880 any brighter in Major League Baseball playing games than right here. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.160 It's going to be a loud rock as crowd. The 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.080 roof is closed. Yeah, Chili, you're gonna be down in 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.920 to the forties outside. And for the Dodgers, hopefully they 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.520 get red hot. Two teams, by the way, approach the 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.920 game a little differently. The Dodgers go for slug and 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.360 if you look at the Toronto Blue Jays, they have 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.400 really made their mark by making contact and understanding they 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:17.960 don't swing and miss that often. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.800 Yeah, tim as we get it back to you. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.680 It is an amazing matchup that we have here to 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.400 the best teams in all of Major League Baseball. They 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.240 are top five in most categories that everybody seems to 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.960 care about. But contrasting styles, two big payrolls, but contrasting styles. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.079 The Blue Jays known for their offense, a relentless lineup 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.280 that is deep one through nine, and as more mentioned, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.960 their ability to make contact. They led the majors in 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.400 contact percentage. Well, they're going to be going against this 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.520 Dodgers starting staff, which is red hot and leads all 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.640 of baseball in with rate here in the postseason. So 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.240 which one gives we'll find out in a little bit. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.160 Game one is starting shortly back later with some keys, all. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:56.600 Right, Thank you. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.959 Nelly has been counting down to first pitch.

David Vase checks 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.320 in from the Rogers Center. Throughout the hour, he'll go 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.120 one on one with Clayton Kershaw. We break down this 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.600 game one pitching matchup. But up next, Kirsten Watson from 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.040 Sports and at LA stops by.

This is Game one of the World Series. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:44.000 Tim There's obviously so much energy everything going around yesterday 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.480 Media day, so of course all the guys had to 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.160 be around talking about thirty forty five minutes. Got to 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.520 sit down with Blake Snell, of course, the game one starter, 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:57.280 and I think his energy says it all. Like literally 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.680 yesterday he was talking about just preparing for start. He 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.480 said that this is the most important start of his career. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.840 He is someone he loves these moments, his last outing 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.840 of course, eighth shutout innings face the minimum through eight, 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.400 so for him to now take the ball for Game one, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.360 he feels really good. The rest of this team behind him. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.520 They had, as you mentioned, a little bit of time 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.920 between the end of the NLCS and of. 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.560 Course Game one of this World Series. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.720 They had practices at Dodge Stadium, only took one true 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.319 day off to reset mentally, but from talking to the guys, 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.080 they all said that time was so valuable for them. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.560 Some guys are kind of battling some bumps and bruises, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.160 so they were able to heal mentally, physically reset, but 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:41.120 also understanding they learned a lot from the bye week 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.760 last year and how they had to kind of prepare 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:48.559 themselves for the NLDS, not getting too comfortable in that time. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.959 So they learned that they were able to apply that 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.600 to these five six days in between the end of 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.560 the NLCS and start preparing for today for Game one. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.960 So they feel really good. But they're excited to have 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:00.679 Blake Snell on the mountain at the tone. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.640 Looking at this twenty six man roster for the Dodgers, 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.840 a little bit of change, especially in the bullpen. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.800 Yeah, so they are going to be without Alex Bessia 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.600 for this series. You know, there's been some our thoughts 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.319 are with him, some scary and unfortunate instance for him 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.400 and his family. So he is away from the team. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.120 He's with his wife Kayla, dealing with a personal matter 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.080 and because of that, so there was some thought potentially 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.839 to put him on a family emergency list. How could 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.839 they navigate this roster so that he could be in 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.240 a position to come back. But ultimately, from talking to 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.120 Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman today, they have said that 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.360 the most important thing for Alex right now is to 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.000 be with his family, and so they didn't even want 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.240 to give him the pressure of having to return. So 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.360 they're looking at things as they will be without him 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.360 for this series. So in the bullpen they have now 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.480 Will Klein has been activated. Exciting for him making his 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.800 first postseason roster and of course it just happens to 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.120 be the World Series. He's been staying hot in Arizona. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.760 The focus for him recently has been just getting right 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.559 hinted hitters out and so he feels really good as 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.200 to how he's executing his and then they have put 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.440 Edgardo and Riquez back on the roster. So for him, 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:07.480 he was not on the roster for the NLCS, but 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.760 from being back for the World Series, he's been in 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.880 a good position staying hot. But it's really just more 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.080 matchup drivemn of course, for the Blue Jays, they've got 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.680 some power hitters, a deep lineup, so they feel good 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:18.240 as to what. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.240 The bullpen looks like. 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.440 But ultimately all of the guys, it's gonna come down 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.360 to executing their pitches. And the hope is, you know, 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.080 not only do they have a lot to play for 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.640 just as a team, they all want to win the 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.199 World Series. They want that history of going back to back, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.439 but now they have you know, there's some personal things too. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.320 It's Clayton Kershaw's final season in the big leagues. They 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:40.160 wanted him to end on a bank. And then you 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.920 have someone like Alex Vesia and so maybe there are 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.080 who's been such a key arm in that bulpen, one 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.400 of those bullpen dogs, and you know, maybe this is 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.520 a way that another way that they can play for 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.800 each other to uplift their teammates right now, and so 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.719 it could be really special in that sense. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.599 A lot to play for for this Dodgers team, and 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.959 it all begins here shortly with Game one. Here's that 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.520 we appreciate. We'll check out with you after the game 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.680 is still to get I'm here on Morongo Casino Dodgers 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.400 on Deck will dive deeper in to this Game one 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.640 pitching matchup. David Vadego's one on one with Clayton Kershaw. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.280 What up next? We'll get the pregame thoughts of the manager, 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.439 Dave Roberts. It's the Dodgers and Blue Jays Game one 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.840 of the World Series. First pitch from Toronto, Canada, coming 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.800 up at five fifteen. I'm Tim kas Is the world 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.800 champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.120 This is Marongo Casino Dodgers on Tech. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.880 On your home for the Blue all season long. 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:38.080 Marongo Casino Dodgers on Deck continues as we lead you 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.760 up to first pitch, Game one of the World Series. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.880 Dodgers in the Blue Jays, Morongo Casino Resort. It spot 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:48.000 a Grand Slam for good times. Blake Snell and Trey Sevins. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.000 The pitching matchup, first pitch coming up at five fifteen. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:56.280 Any questions for Dave Dave can you just describe Dave. 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.760 Can you talk about the pressure in. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:03.960 The dugouts with Robberts Dave yesterday when in honestly the 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.160 last few weeks of talking to Blake's now he's talked 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.480 about just how much information he likes to take in 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.600 before each start. What have you learned from him in 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.320 his pitching style as information he likes to take it 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.560 as he prepares for his outing. That kind of maybe 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.920 stands out to stands out to you about him that 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.720 maybe you didn't know before managing him. 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.440 I think I've learned that he does a good job 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:31.560 with his homework. He has his own process, very well prepared, 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.640 but takes in information from you know, you know, Mark 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:41.360 and the catchers, and but really is very well prepared 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:46.120 and he understands how much he needs versus being overloaded. 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.040 I'll run it from hi, Dave. 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.600 With all the reasons that your team has for wanting 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.040 to win another World Series, do you think the alex 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.720 Avessia situation is another reason this team is going to 0:15:59.080 --> 0:15:59.760 play for him? 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:00.800 Right now? 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:07.800 You know, it's certainly on our hearts and we miss 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.800 him and we'll be thinking about him, and certainly you 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.480 know he's a part of this and it's just even 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:16.200 more motivation. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.160 Yes, right in the next row. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:23.440 Hey, Dave, during the celebration after winning last year's World Series, 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.080 you said, let's get ready to run this thing back. Now, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.520 this is that opportunity that first day where you're trying 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.960 to run it back. Describe the pressure you feel right now? 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:39.440 Nothing whatsoever I think that you know right now, you know, 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.640 our only focus is winning tonight, and I mean that wholeheartedly. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.400 That's the only thing that we care about right now. 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:46.840 And so. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.520 It's a big game. It's going to be a fun crowd. 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.560 Our guys prepared, you know, and that's something I said 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.640 certainly close to a year ago, and we're in a 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.320 position to do that. But you know, we got to 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.880 win four games. So right now, you know, let's take 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.480 care of business and then we'll see if it all 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:05.000 falls out. 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:06.720 Fourth throw on your left dock. 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:11.200 So Davia just wanted to clarify Vesia being off the 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.959 rosters he out for the World Series at this point. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.120 You know what I think, Sonya, that's probably the most likely, uh, 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.560 you know, unless something unforcing happens. That's kind of where 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.120 what we're anticipating. 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.280 And you know, obviously the human side of this is 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.000 kind of bigger than the baseball side. But he's been 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.080 using so many big situations for you, how do you 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.640 kind of replace that with your current bullpen? 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.520 Yeah, we have we have a lot of uh, you know, 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:47.920 viable options, and I don't know what situation will present itself, 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:51.439 but I trust all the guys, I really do, and 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.439 Gudgement have to step up. But Alex is certainly going 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:55.000 to be missed. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.119 Check just one more to clarify on that. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.600 Did you guys consider putting him on like the family 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.239 medical leave list at all? Or was it just he 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:04.920 wasn't going to be able to come back even if 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:05.520 you did do that. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.040 I think we exhausted a couple of different options, but 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:11.560 just considering, you know, obviously what he's going through, and 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.879 you know, baseball certainly on the back burner. So I 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.040 just think that's kind of the right, you know process. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.800 I think that we as an organization was probably the 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.119 best way to handle it. And to be quite honest, 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.520 I don't know a lot of what went into it. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.520 All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts. Certainly Alex Vessia. 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.280 Our thoughts and prayers with him and his family as 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.600 he's out with a personal issue, not on this World 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.200 Series roster, and the Dodgers certainly with heavy hearts as 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.760 they get ready now for Game one of this World 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.520 Series coming up. It's the Dodgers and Blue Jays from 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.360 Rogers Center coming up here on Morongo Casino Dodgers on denck. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.040 Don't forget we're gonna hear from the manager. We just 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:54.080 did Dave Roberts for the future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.119 That's coming up in about twenty minutes. But I'm next 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:58.000 to check in with David Vadzay as we. 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.120 Lead you out to first pitch. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.320 I'm Tim Kass Word Champion Los Angeles Dodgers Audio Network. 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.600 As we were saying, this is Marongo Casino Dodgers on 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:15.239 deck on the official home of La Dodgers Baseball. 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.840 Dodgers in Blue Jays, Game one of the World Series 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.640 from Toronto.

It's 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.400 been a while since postseason baseball has gone this far 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:43.640 in Toronto nineteen ninety three. What's it like right now? 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.520 Yeah, just being around the city the last day or so. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.760 This stadium, by the way, is pretty full, sellout crowd. 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:55.080 It gets loud, especially with the roof closed. They got 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:59.600 the manager from their last World Series championship team Edo 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.840 throwing out the first pitch tonight and tomorrow the hero 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.679 from nineteen ninety three, Joe Carter, is throwing out the 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.520 first pitch tomorrow.
