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

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,680

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 3: This year.

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,000

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 6: one and only David Vease. Good morning, David. How you doing, buddy.

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: I'm do a great It was great to see both

38
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: of you at the stadium yesterday. Perfect strike from Steve sat.

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 6: It was a perfect strike with Steve sacks him and

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 6: Mike Soosha both looks great out there. We're in that

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 6: Dodger uniform. You had the American flag out there, the

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 6: great national anthem, the teams lined up and then there

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 6: he is Steve sacks and Mike Soosha is just throwing strikes.

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 6: Miguel Ross, by the way, I hope his hands okay, David,

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 6: Because Saxy threw that strike right down the middle.

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: He let him know who was the original great middle

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: infielder for the Dodgers, That's.

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 6: For sure, no doubt about it. He did send a

49
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 6: message real quick, David. I want to start off with

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 6: Mookie betch The play in the ninth Inny tremendous and

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 6: I think it just sort of shows the transformation he

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 6: has made over the last two plus seasons from when

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 6: he said I want to play shortstop. Gavin Lux isn't

54
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 6: cutting it. Put me in short I'll figure it out.

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 6: He did last year along the way turned into a

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 6: really good the defensive shortstop this year. And that play

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 6: in the ninth inning, that Derek Jeter esque throw was tremendous.

58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, how many people know this? After the Dodgers won

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: the World Series last year, Mookie took about a week

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 4: off and then started working on playing shortstop because he

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 4: was intent on playing it again this year and playing

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 4: it at a high level. So he got one of

63
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: the Dodger coaches, pe d Montero, to go around to

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: whatever field was available in the San Fernando Valley, and

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: from November one on he worked on shortstop literally every

66
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: single day, maybe took weekends off. But this is not

67
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: something that just happened by him playing spring training or

68
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: just taking ground balls before games. He put in a

69
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: lot of work this past offseason. And he told me,

70
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 4: I remember we were at Justin Turner's golf tournament. He

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: told me, this is the quickest I have ever started

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: to get ready for the following season. But he was

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: intent on being a high caliber shortstop. And look, he's

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: going to do something that only one other player has

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: ever done. That's when the goal glove in the outfield,

76
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: goal glove in the infield, and that was Darren Erstad

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: for Mike Soosha's angels.

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: Wow, that's very interesting, Dave. A great scene yesterday. Had

79
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: a great time with you guys before the game and

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: looking at this series of way it's going down now, Dave,

81
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: if you ask the Brewers, they would want to get

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: the Dodgers on their terms. I mean, hey, no, slug,

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: it's all going to be about, you know, pitching, bullpen

84
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: and great defense. Dodgers say, okay, we'll tip the cap

85
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: to that suggestion, and the Dodgers are beating these guys

86
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 2: at their own game. How about Max Munsey at third

87
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: base making that play. Of course, the great play that

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: was done at the end of the game by Mookie Betts.

89
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: But the bullpen now becoming a sanctuary on this team, Dave.

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: They came in there and they just shoved for three

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: and a third yesterday. Masterful performance by the Dodgers on those.

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 4: Grounds, no doubt. Steve and Munsey's made two great postseason

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: plays so far, the wheel play in Game two of

94
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 4: the NLDS and then that one in the second inning

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: that was huge. And speaking of the Dodgers, kind of

96
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: taking a page from the Brewers book, how about the

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: Dodgers Freddie Freeman going to third base first to third

98
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 4: on Tommy Edmonds go ahead RBI single. Brewers weren't expecting

99
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: that that was an aggressive base running play to take

100
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: extra ninety feet. So it feels like the Dodgers have

101
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: the Brewers on their heels, not only in the pitching department,

102
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: but now on the bases and defense as well. And

103
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 4: you look at this series. I know the Dodgers have

104
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 4: to say all the right things and they have to

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 4: have that mentality that they haven't accomplished anything. But when

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 4: you look at the tail of the tape here, the

107
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: Brewers just don't have the offensive power to compete with

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. And also the fact that they threw their

109
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: best picture at the Dodgers yesterday for five innings in

110
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 4: Jacob Mazerowski, and they still lost the game. So now

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 4: they have to turn to Jose Kantana, who the Dodgers

112
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 4: have scored eleven runs against in three postseason starts.

113
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 6: Dave, yesterday we were texting Tyler Glass. Now a little

114
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 6: you know, traffic on the base pass early, but I

115
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 6: thought he did a great job getting in and out

116
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 6: of that and you know, continuing to go out there

117
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 6: and work and grind. And it turned into a what

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 6: turned to be a really good pitching matchup between him

119
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 6: and Miseroski, going toe to toe like two big heavyweights

120
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 6: that they were out there for four plus.

121
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:35,239
Speaker 4: Innings look really talented pitchers. But everyone from Mark McGuire

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 4: to Andre Ethier has told me in those conditions yesterday,

123
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: starting a game at three o'clock, the pitchers mound, the

124
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: home plate is in shadows, but the hitter's eye is

125
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: drenched in sunlight. It's the most miserable hitting conditions you

126
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: can ask for a Dodgers stadium, because the way they

127
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: described it is, you can't see the seam, so it's

128
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: the baseball. You just see a gray object and glass.

129
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 4: Now and Misserowski were smart enough to realize that and

130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: not do the hitters any favors by throwing off speed pitches,

131
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: just pumping fastballs. And in that sixth inning, when the

132
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 4: Dodgers mounted that rally, the shadows started to come across

133
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: that hitter's eye to give them a chance.

134
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: Dave, you had mentioned before you talked about the difference

135
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: and talent on this team, you know, having to face

136
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: four number ones, having to get on their terms and

137
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: still have them beating you with defense and bullpen and whatnot.

138
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: But just for the average joe out there that comes

139
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: to the ballgame and watches even people, then are I

140
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: talked to people the stands yesterday when I was on

141
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: my way out. The discrepancy of talent, the gap between

142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: these two teams is really starting to show up because

143
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 2: we haven't seen the best of the Dodgers yet, believe

144
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: it or not, we haven't seen one part one Plank

145
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: in that platform that hasn't come out is the real

146
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: ability to slug so and so still you see the

147
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: Dodgers thumping these guys. I mean, what is your opinion

148
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: from all the teams that you've covered, what is this

149
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: team looking at, what's the mindset of these guys looking

150
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: at over there from the Dodgers and say, we haven't

151
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: seen the best of these guys yet, but man, these

152
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: guys are tough.

153
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. It feels like that's what's given these guys more

154
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: confidence to believe there's even more in there when they

155
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: get to the World Series, because you're right, they really

156
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: haven't slucked their way to scoring runs so far in

157
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: this series. And if you take Game four the NLDS,

158
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 4: it was one of those rare games where the Dodgers

159
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: did not have an extra base hit and they still

160
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: won the game. That's not something that Dodgers did a

161
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: lot of in the regular season. But it all stems

162
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 4: from the starting pitching. If Freddie Freeman has said this

163
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 4: on numerous occasions that the starting pitchers, knowing that they

164
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: have those guys, allows the offense to understand they don't

165
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: have to score five or six or seven runs because

166
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 4: at a certain point in time in this season, Steve,

167
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: they felt that pressure, they felt that urgency that Okay,

168
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 4: five runs, four runs is not going to be enough,

169
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: considering the way the bullpen was going, considering a lot

170
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 4: of their starters were hurt. But these guys, the way

171
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: they're pitching just has such a trickled down effect on

172
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: the outcome of games where you can win games three

173
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: to one, you can win games two to one and

174
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 4: don't have to hit three or four home runs. And

175
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: I think everybody should be very happy with the fact

176
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: that Dodgers are up three to zero with not a

177
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: lot of contributions from Shohyotani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman offensively.

178
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: That first inning was basically the most we've heard from

179
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: Otani and Mooki offensively in this series. So that's a

180
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 4: scary thing for the Brewers today. That's a scary thing

181
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 4: for the Blue Jays or Mariners in the World Series

182
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: because that's not going to last too much.

183
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 6: Longer the World Series. David, and I'm hoping you and Steve,

184
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 6: with your mutual friend in the hierarchies of their of

185
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball with Rob Manfred can put in a

186
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 6: good word. I know they're not gonna do it, but man,

187
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 6: we're gonna have to wait a week for the World

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 6: Series to start next Friday, whether it's at Dodger Stadium

189
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 6: or in Toronto or wherever. They know. If the Mariners

190
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: get it'll be a Dodger Stadium. But we're gonna have

191
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 6: to wait a week here, David, this is too long.

192
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. I don't know why the

193
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: dates can't be more flexible, but obviously the World Series

194
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 4: is an event. TV has a lot to say, our

195
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: guy Joe Davis, Fox Sports, they have a lot to

196
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 4: say as far as the date and the scheduling of

197
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 4: the World Series. But yeah, I may start to inquire

198
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: about that and what the reasons are for not being

199
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 4: able to be more flexible to start it. But consider this,

200
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: if the Dodgers sweep today, which I expect them to do,

201
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 4: and the Blue Jays now have even the ales, the Mariners,

202
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 4: if they pull out this series, are in a really

203
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 4: bad pitching predicament to go into the World Series against

204
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 4: the Dodgers. While again similar to the NLCS and also

205
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: the NLDS, the Dodgers are going to have their starters

206
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 4: not only on regular rest, but on extra rest and

207
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: again are going to be able to line up these

208
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: fantastic four to start these games and be well rested

209
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: and ready to go. So the Dodgers again are in

210
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: a golden spot with their pitching, and it's going to

211
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: be tough on the Blue Jays and Mariners to be

212
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: able to score against these guys if they're that well

213
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: rested at this time of the year.

214
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: Daved, I'm I'm just I'll go out on this one,

215
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: and I just wanted to ask you this question. It's

216
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: kind of like looking forward and whatnot. I realize that,

217
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: but Sasaki as well as he's doing in the bullpen,

218
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: that filthy awful I mean splitter that he threw to

219
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: was it to Durban? My gosh, that thing broke down

220
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 2: and in it was just ridiculed. I've ever seen one

221
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: break like that. Do they try at some point, because

222
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: he's so good for just a limited time he's been

223
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: there closing, do they sometime maybe this winner, try to

224
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: persuade him We've got tons of starting pitching. Maybe this

225
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: is the answer to the lockdown situation. I mean, it

226
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: probably costs him a ton of money to switch from

227
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: being a starter to a closer. Like that. But is

228
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: that in the cards anywhere or is that just a

229
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: one off.

230
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: That makes a lot of sense baseball wise, but business

231
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 4: wise and Rokie and his visions for his career major

232
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: League baseball, We're not to be a closer. It was

233
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: to be a starting pitcher. So I feel like the

234
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: Dodgers reassured Rokie, do this role and we'll get you

235
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 4: back to being a starter next year. And we saw Steve,

236
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: you can never have enough starting pitching. We never know

237
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: what the tax is going to be next year after

238
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: going on all the way to the World Series. So

239
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: I would say the Dodgers and Roki already probably have

240
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 4: an agreement to allow him to go back to being

241
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: the starting pitcher next year. And look, if it doesn't

242
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: work out, the Dodgers have more of a leg to

243
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 4: stand on to say, the best way for you to

244
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 4: succeed is to be this super closer with your two pitches,

245
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: with your one hundred and your your fork knuckleball that

246
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: they call a splitter because that thing tumbles and has

247
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 4: no spin like a knuckleball.

248
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 6: Well, David, if the Dodgers celebrate tonight by clenching the NLCS,

249
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 6: no doubt Dodger fans are gonna want to keep it

250
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 6: right here on Ami seven d LA Sports because you

251
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: never know what Clayton Kershaw or a Dodger will say

252
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 6: or do to you in that celebration down the Dodgers

253
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 6: batting cage, and who knows, in a couple of days,

254
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 6: rotowear dot com may have a T shirt out there,

255
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, during the Dodger workouts next week,

256
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 6: we're gonna start seeing all these T shirts with the

257
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 6: latest phrase uttered by a Dodger player. So it'll be fun.

258
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 6: I mean, it's sex if you don't know the whole

259
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 6: comment from Clayton Kershaw about you know, what did you

260
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 6: say about the pants wearing the past dame because they

261
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 6: made it into a T shirt.

262
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just said, oh, you don't really you don't.

263
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 4: Do you want your shirt back? And he said, no,

264
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 4: I don't want my shirt back. I hardly want pants

265
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 4: on and they made a shirt out of it.

266
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 6: I love it doctor players are wearing during the workout.

267
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: I love it. Hey, Dave, did you notice did you

268
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 2: notice the flyover for Sosia myself for the first pitch

269
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: that flyover was for me, And so you know that right.

270
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: Oh, of course, of course I knew that. Of I

271
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: knew that immediately. I mean, they had Dodger royalty. By

272
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: the way. It was like, you know, for the Lakers.

273
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 4: It's like when James Worthy and Michael Cooper walk into

274
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: the press box at Staples Center. I mean, you should

275
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: have seen these these so called very very professional media

276
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: people in the press box yesterday when Mike's Sooshia and

277
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 4: Steve Sax walked through that press box. I mean, the

278
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 4: fanboy and all these people came out there like taking

279
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: like incognito videos of these guys.

280
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't see that.

281
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: It was pretty special.

282
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: I think they just wanted to get so some lunch.

283
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: I think that's what it really was.

284
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: I think that I was looking for the Dodger dogs.

285
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: That's right, they were in the back.

286
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: I found a Dodger dog on the little cafeteria behind

287
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: the media part part right there. I sat there at

288
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: the table myself had a Dodger dog and some chips.

289
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: It was great. A Dodger dog and a coke and chips.

290
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: That's it perfect. Well, they need more.

291
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: Steve Sacks in our life. The Dodgers stadium, right, it.

292
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 6: Takes everything better and puts a smile on everybody.

293
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: We had the best time talking your saying, I absolutely

294
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: loved talking with you in the big week now John

295
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: Blendell there that was. That was such a good time.

296
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: Oh, it was awesome. And we did it in the

297
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: in the area, tim where they have all the Dodgers

298
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: silver sluggers, and we found Steve Sax silver slugger and

299
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: he demanded that we talked right in front of that,

300
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: that silver slugger. Batty, you know it was.

301
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 6: It was sounds about right, you know, trying to get

302
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 6: the upper hand. That sounds like that all about himself, Yeah.

303
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: All about me get the upper hand.

304
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 6: Well, Dave, hopefully there's a celebration tonight, and of course

305
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 6: it right here on five seventy LA Sports, all that

306
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 6: great interviews. Let's hope it gets done tonight and the

307
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 6: thing's a sweep.

308
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. And now, Dodger fans, bring your voices today. It

309
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 4: was way too quiet yesterday. I want to hear the

310
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 4: Dodger fans and really cheer the Dodgers on and make

311
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: the Brewers feel that home field advantage, no.

Speaker 2: He didn't whip me out at all. And but I

350
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: didn't want to go too hard on him.

351
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 4: No.

352
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 6: If you imagine if you would, if I would.

353
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Have like, you know, you know, injured a metatarsul or

354
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: whatever like that, I would have been really upsetting. It

355
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: was his pitching hand. You would have not been alt

356
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: was squeezing his pitching hand. That's a seven hundred million

357
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: dollar hand. Okay, I kind of took it easy. Yeah,

358
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: as you should. Yeah, I mean, you never know, don't

359
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: hurt the golden goose. But I didn't want to get

360
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: a wimpans shaking. I want to feel little strength, you know.

361
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, he's he's a big, strong dude.

362
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 6: The dude's a unicorn. You got to shake a unicorn's hand.

363
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: Amazing to talk to you.

364
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 6: Maybe the most you know, photographed, uh, sports guy on

365
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 6: the planet.

366
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: Hands down, I think so, hands down, no pun intended.

367
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 6: I love it. Yeah he is Steve Sachson, Tim Kate's

368
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 6: your phone calls. Somebody's going to Game four the NLCS

369
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 6: currency the MLB network and win in a surf side

370
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 6: vodka prize back. That's naxt right here on AMPI seventy

371
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 6: I sports. You know, if you're not learning something every day,

372
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 6: you're not getting better. So what Willie May said, and

373
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 6: I just learned something you did during the commercial.

374
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: Telling because I kind of challenged you on this.

375
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 6: You did and I appreciate that. Because you're not being challenged,

376
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 6: you're not learning. If you're not learning, what are you

377
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 6: doing you're just existing, right PHIP MLB Network and our

378
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: buddy's Mark de Rosa, Billy Ripkin doing a great job

379
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 6: breaking things down, had a giant graphic on their screen

380
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 6: that said PHIP and it had a.

381
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: List of pictures. Yeah, it's an eternal metric for pitching.

382
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 6: It's a newer number that they use, right, it's.

383
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: There's a number one guy right there, Shoho Tani.

384
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 6: And I said, what is a FIP And you said, well,

385
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 6: if you don't know what it is, Kate's look it up.

386
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 6: So I looked it up. A PHIP fielding independent pitching.

387
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 6: Then I said, okay, that's great, but I don't understand

388
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 6: what that means SAXY, So I looked it up a

389
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 6: little bit more. It measures a pictures perform RMAN based

390
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 6: only on the outcomes they could control as the pitcher,

391
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 6: home runs, given up, walks, given up, hits by pitch,

392
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 6: and strikeouts. It's designed to provide a more accurate picture

393
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 6: of a pitcher's effectiveness effectiveness by removing the impact of

394
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 6: their defense and luck on balls in play. It's calculated

395
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 6: using a formula similar to ERA, but focuses on three

396
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 6: true outcomes at a scale to look like an era

397
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 6: with a league average fit typically around four mm.

398
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: So okay, so that gives you a more break a

399
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: better breakdown of what he is by himself, what he

400
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: is besides having great support. Some defenses aren't as good

401
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: as others, right, and so their FIP would be improved

402
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: if you know, the better they do without having to

403
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: rely on that defense. Okay, So that's what it is basically.

404
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 6: So it's the Paul Schimes measurement because he doesn't have

405
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: a very good defense behind.

406
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 2: By the way, he was second next to Otani.

407
00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 6: There you go.

408
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he a second. That makes sense.

409
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean strike out always.

410
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just show him on to you. So yeah,

411
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: he was first.

412
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 6: So Tony strikeouts are high, doesn't give up a lot

413
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 6: of home runs, but may not have the wins and

414
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 6: losses cir.

415
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: Only he doesn't walk a lot, I don't believe.

416
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's that's better acting. I get that. I

417
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 6: the more we talk about it. I'm learning about this. Yeah,

418
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 6: and again, learning something every day is a good thing.

419
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 6: And I just learned about the FIP. So moving forward

420
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 6: now when I do Dodger talk and here on scam

421
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 6: for the foreseeable future. Uh, we're just gonna talk fip

422
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 6: is that anytime we reference a pitcher.

423
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: Now you know what whip is, right.

424
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's where you you know, you get it.

425
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 2: It's not done no, no, no, no, it's a whip

426
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 2: it And it's not that whip is winds, Nope. Walks

427
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: and hits per innings pitched. Walks and hits per innings

428
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 2: that's the acronym. Yeah, walks and hits per Indians pitch.

429
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: So it measures how many times what's the traffic on

430
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 2: the basis Okay, you walk, you hit, you know, walks

431
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: and base hits that you give up for in each pitch.

432
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good metric. Anything under one point two

433
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: one point twenty five is kind of like the level.

434
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: Anything south of that is really good. You see, like

435
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: like some guys, I think Hunter Green his whip was

436
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: like zero point ninety nine ridiculous.

437
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 4: Wow.

438
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: So you get some of those guys that kind of

439
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: fill up the strike zone. I don't know what Otani's is,

440
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: I can look it up real quick, but you have

441
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: you have a lot of these guys that are that good.

442
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: At the top of the class pitchers, they're they're around

443
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: one and even under it's it's ridiculous how good it is?

444
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 6: So can we get rid of E R RA and

445
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 6: can we get I mean, wait, I still like E

446
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: R Yeah, it's there in run average.

447
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 2: Okay, I still like it.

448
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 6: But that's that's factoring. And now the defense, which you

449
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 6: can't control as a picture.

450
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: That's true, but this is not you know, kind of

451
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: to bump up against whip, a whip or a fip.

452
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: It's another metric to kind of measure the picture as

453
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 2: he is integrated into his defense. And I think that's

454
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: what ERA is.

455
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 6: I'm all about the FIP now, I like a lot

456
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 6: because it measures a picture based on what.

457
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: They they can do, right. I'm it's more of a

458
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: deeper dive.

459
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 6: I love that. I know how many walks, how many

460
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 6: hit by pitches, how many strikeouts, how many home runs?

461
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 6: That to me paints a better picture of how good

462
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 6: a pitcher is.

463
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 2: It gets in front or before the defense, because whips

464
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: the same thing. How much traffic are you going to

465
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 2: put on the base? Walks and hits? Okay, you're going

466
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 2: to give those up as a pitcher, right and then

467
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: and then you get the next next oneoul be era

468
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: you earned run depends on your defense too, so that's

469
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: kind of like the third in line I would say.

470
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 6: I mean, I look at wins and losses as it's

471
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: a cool measurement still in baseball. But Paul Skins, I

472
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 6: think is come on, he's no ten and ten. No

473
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 6: this guy, this guy's a seventeen and three. But the

474
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 6: team behind him, right, doesn't play great defense and the

475
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 6: offense doesn't given to you. Yeah, right, So it's not

476
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 6: his fault.

477
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 2: So probably that ten and ten is kind of the

478
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: part of the wins that I like to talk about,

479
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: and that's the intestinal fortitude of the pitcher to grunt

480
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: it out and say, no, I want to stay in

481
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: the game, keep me in here, and he keeps his

482
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: team in the game over five innings and then the

483
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: team goes ahead and eventually wins. A lot of that

484
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: was because of the gut of the pitcher to keep

485
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: you and wanting to stay in for the fight.

486
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 6: Well, if it was all about gut, I'd be winning

487
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 6: a lot of games of the big league. Eric in Hollywood,

488
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 6: welcome to Saxon Kates. If I do it, Eric, there is.

489
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 7: Feeling good this morning, gentlemen. I have a pep in

490
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 7: my step just like every other Dodger fan. This team

491
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 7: is special, man. They know how to win and dominate

492
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 7: in the playoffs like Kobe and Shaq did with the Lakers. Man,

493
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 7: and kudos to that defense man, Mookie and Maxie. They

494
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 7: were flashing that that leather yesterday during the game. Man

495
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 7: and god, Man.

496
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: Good baseball.

497
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 7: It's just it's great to watch, especially when it's your team. Man.

498
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 7: And I mean I'd been waiting for this for a

499
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 7: very long time. Man. Just to sit back and just

500
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 7: enjoy the ride, man, because it's amazing, said Mookie.

501
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: Said.

502
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 7: Job's not done, man, Job's not done. Love looking to

503
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 7: you guys in the morning.

504
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 6: Rights appreciate it. Yeah, job is not finished. Kobe Bryant

505
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 6: said it best two thousand and nine during the NBA Finals,

506
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 6: the Mamba mentality. I love it. I love how Mooki

507
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 6: Bretts has embraced that. And he's right. They got to

508
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 6: finish off one more then after that. Job is still

509
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 6: not finished. The goal is to win a ring. The

510
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 6: goal is not to hang an NLCS banner.

511
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: Are you in for celebrating at this moment in time?

512
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 2: If they crush these guys out said, I absolutely big

513
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: time celebrate. I mean I think that should be part

514
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: of the criteria to win, is you got to you

515
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: got experience the real high in this. Yeah, and celebrate

516
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: the heck out of it. You got a lot of

517
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: time off. Yeah, celebrate brothers, go out and have a

518
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 2: good time.

519
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 6: It's a huge accomplishment to go back to a World

520
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: Series for the second straight year. The Dodgers did it

521
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 6: in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen. This is a new

522
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 6: group of players that have done it and they've gotten

523
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 6: back to the well, hopefully they're going to get back

524
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 6: to the World Series here with one more win, but

525
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 6: even more so this playoff round. It's cool you beat

526
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 6: the Reds in the wild Card?

527
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 2: Were you celebrating that? That was all?

528
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 6: No, you're not celebrating that. You're supposed to beat the Reds.

529
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm pushing on that. I think you celebrate it. Okay, Yeah,

530
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: you validate the Reds because they they're there for a reason. Sure,

531
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: and you accomplish something by beating them, too straight, you

532
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: celebrate that.

533
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 6: You celebrate. I take a shot, Give the team a cookie.

534
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 6: Give your players a cookie. Let them have fun.

535
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: They get a shot in a cookie. That's every It's

536
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: like it's like training you know, a little doggy or something.

537
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 2: Every time they do good, you give them a little treat. Okay,

538
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: they did great, let them let them experience it and

539
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: give them the big treat.

540
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 6: So you beat the Phillies and the n lds.

541
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 2: That to me, now you go to start going to

542
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: Disneyland and ship that and stuff. That's that to me

543
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 2: is uh, that's where we start moving up to treat.

544
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: That's a celebration because you beat a team that you

545
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: don't give any any handouts. Yet the big money comes

546
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: when you win the World Series and that's that's a

547
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: lot of ducats right there. But but but you move

548
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: it up from from celebrating the clubhouse to maybe a

549
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: Disneyland treat or something like that. After beating the Phillies,

550
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 2: now you be the World Series big money.

551
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 6: You beat the Brewers. But you do it in a sweep.

552
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 6: To me, that is a couple of shot and we're

553
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 6: we're getting we're getting loose. Yeah, a little fat. Yeah,

554
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 6: somebody wants to have a shot. Let him have a shame.

555
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 6: We did something that nobody's done in a long time,

556
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 6: and that's sweep of postseason series. Let alone do it

557
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 6: in the NLCS and do it in convincing fashion. That

558
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 6: to me is a celebration. Tim Dominanting, I agree, and

559
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 6: I'm not apprude about that. Okay, I'm not approved. People say, well,

560
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 6: you know, what do you mean you'd.

561
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: Let him sell? Hey, look, I don't drink myself, never have,

562
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: but but that I'm not apprude about it. I think

563
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: it's guys want to have a shot. Let him have

564
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: a shot. I mean, as long as they stay safe,

565
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: let it. Let them have a few of them, let

566
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: me let them stay safe and be at home and

567
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: do it, or in the confines of the clubhouse. Uh,

568
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: you know, not my gig, but let everybody else.

569
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 6: I'm not Did you drink in the clubhouse?

570
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 4: Then?

571
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: What did you drink when you guys celebrated? I don't know,

572
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 2: but I just I never liked alcohol. I never drank it.

573
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: I don't like it.

574
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 6: Are you grabbing just water? Were you just not drinking anything?

575
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 6: I love Coca Cola, man, I love the big time.

576
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 6: That's probably worse than a drink, but that's what I like, right.

577
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 6: Coca Colas are worse, for it's worse.

578
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: It's worse than than have an alcoholic drink. But I

579
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: like it. I don't care.

580
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 6: Okay, I just don't like to taste of it, and

581
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 6: I'm not for I don't care if everybody else does.

582
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, sometimes it's probably good for you.

583
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 6: I love, I love, And when they get to the

584

586
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 6: we'll get into it. But I just wanted to bring

587
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 6: it up before I forget that when you guys won

588
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 6: in eighty eight and how sick you were. Oh yeah,

589
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 6: and everybody was sick, the physical exhaustion that you've done.

590
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 6: And you're gonna tell the story next week when they

591
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 6: get to the World Series about what you did after

592
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 6: you guys won that that series in Oakland, what you

593
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 6: physically went to go do because you were so tired. Yeah,

594
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 6: in that series. Kevin and seem Valley is next up

595
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 6: here on Saxon, Kates and Them. How you doing, Kevin,

596
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 6: I'm doing great.

597
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my call.

598
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: Guys.

599
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 8: Hey, I want to talk about culture and chemistry. In

600
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 8: Mookie's postgame interview, he talked about how these guys play

601
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 8: for each other, they support, trust each other, and really

602
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 8: love each other, and these are the hallmarks of every

603
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 8: championship team across the board. He talked about the expectations

604
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 8: that come with being a Dodger. You show up on time,

605
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 8: you do your work, you support your teammates, and you

606
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 8: be professional. And there is only one way, And I think, Steve,

607
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 8: you'll beck me on this to create and maintain that

608
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 8: kind of energy. And it comes from the.

609
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: Top down, and the leader's got a lead, and the

610
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: leader of this team is Dave Roberts. Anybody that doesn't

611
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 5: want to give Dave Roberts tremendous credit for the job

612
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 5: that he's done is just ridiculous. These guys love playing

613
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 5: for him, and players on other teams would kill for

614
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 5: the chance. He's fair, He supports his guys, and he

615
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 5: puts in a position to excel. And the latest example,

616
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: Blake Trinan and the rest of the bullpen so happy

617
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 5: to see the result that he got. Of course, it

618
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 5: helps when you're starting pitcher is damn near perfect. But

619
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: I give so much credit to Dave Roberts for managing

620

Speaker 5: the personalities, the egos, keeping this team together and really

621
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: playing for each other. I just want to give my

622
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: shout out today.

623
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 6: Thanks Kevin, appreciate the phone call. I'm glad he brought

624
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 6: that up. Yeah, he referenced Blake tryn And you know,

625
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 6: we go back far enough here in this October to

626
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 6: where fans were sour on Blake trying it in this

627
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 6: Dodgers Bowl.

628
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: Not now.

629
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, but they've always believed. Yeah, They've always said, Hey,

630
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 6: those are my guys. We're gonna eventually gonna have to

631
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 6: need them, and I trust them.

632
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: Yes, And that's that's a perfect explanation that Kevin talked about.

633
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: He pretty much gave a good, you know, summation of

634
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,239
Speaker 2: what is very important in that clubhouse. He nailed it

635
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 2: to the tea. And I'll tell you another thing, when

636
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to Dave Roberts and have to do

637
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: the discipline stuff, because there's a line that has to

638
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: be drawn there between some of your friend but I'm

639
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: also you know, running the team here. A lot of

640
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 2: that stuff, Tim, I can tell you from past experience

641
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 2: doesn't even get to Dave Roberts because there's guys on

642
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: this team like Muncie and Clayton and Tryinging and guys

643
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: like this that aren't gonna let a young guy get

644
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: out of line. And you know, one thing Gosorta told

645
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: us is, don't ever, don't ever shame your family, don't

646
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 2: ever shame your family name, don't ever do anything that's

647
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: gonna embarrass you, right or your family. And that's kind

648
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: of what the policing of the players. They don't even

649
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: let it get there. They'll take care of it before

650
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: it has to get to Dave.

754
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, well, the good thing about is it started

755
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: before the handshake. Okay, I saw him coming out. We

756
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: kind of were walking towards each other. His hand extended first,

757
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 2: and it was it was like, you know, ten feet before.

758
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know, you know, if he uh, you know,

759
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 2: knows anything about the former players, but he was showing

760
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 2: difference to former players. It's part of their culture and

761
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 2: it's a wonderful thing. And I loved it. And he

762
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: came over and and yeah, it was. It was amazing

763
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: what he said. Well, it's more about what he didn't say. Okay, okay,

764
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 2: because he didn't say anything. Now, don't get it upset.

765
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: I'm going somewhere, Okay, hang with me.

766
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 6: But sometimes you can say something without actually saying something.

767
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: There it is so so you guys remember like ESP

768
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: like extra sensory perception. There was a lot of it.

769
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 2: And it started before he got to me, hand extended,

770
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: came over. It was a deep, deep friendship handshake where

771
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 2: his thumb to thumb okay, and it was like a yeah,

772
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 2: and it was it was rooted and it was a

773
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: good handshake. And and he's kind of you know, nodded.

774
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: I nodded back, and we could tell that it was like, hey,

775
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: you know what I got you, you know, And and

776
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: he could tell that I would say, hey, keep your

777
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: shoulder tucked a little bit and hit that ball to

778
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: right field, only if you keep your shoulder down and end.

779
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: And I know I was kind of thinking that, and

780
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: I know he felt that because when he came up

781
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: to bat, you know, the first thing he did, he

782
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 2: hits a nasty slider in the outside corner, had to

783
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,280
Speaker 2: keep the shoulder in, hooked it and got a triple.

784
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't want to take the you know,

785
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: the the you know, the flavor out of it by

786
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 2: saying it was you know, because of what I've.

787
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 6: Made to him, it makes sense you imprinted on him.

788
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 6: As the kids say, you you you telepathically were able

789
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 6: to tell him.

790
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 2: It was like it was like a good shot of

791
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: vitamin D from the sun that came in. You know,

792
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: that's all you know, universe stuff and all that, but

793
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 2: it was it was that way. That's a handshake universe,

794
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: universe going into him and he tripled.

795
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 6: That's awesome.

796
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't want to take no credit, but that, you.

797
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 6: Know, now, I see it when he slid into third

798
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 6: yesterday with that trip. I think he when he came up,

799
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 6: he was right kind of looking for me. He was

800
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 6: a little bit felt like he was looking to point

801
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 6: to you. I think he would have done this and

802
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 6: and and I don't know. For a second there I

803
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 6: thought he put up three fingers. I don't know what

804
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 6: that meant to you. Number three the number three, you know,

805
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 6: and we all liked, you know, that's why he hit

806
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 6: a triple. That's what he could have stopped at second base.

807
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: I but he wanted to drive the point home and

808
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: he went in for a triple, and he came up

809
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: with number three.

810
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 6: It makes sense. So you imprinted on him, well, you know,

811
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 6: what's awesome, you know what it's okay, you know, that's

812
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 6: what I do. Maybe next time I mentioned my name

813
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 6: as you telepathically can't.

814
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 2: I don't have to mention your name at all. All

815
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: I have to mention is scam. And there they go.

816
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: They know that you are tied in to scam. If

817
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: you think it like you say it, it's going to

818
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: scare him. He's like, whoa, you know what? I like?

819
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: You know, I like, I'm so glad that the Dodgers movie.

820
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 2: But we have another week at least at least scam. Yeah,

821
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: you know, so it's gonna be great. Are we going

822
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: to be on during the during the layoff time?

823
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 6: I think so, oh great, I think so That's something

824
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 6: I probably should have figured out beforehand, But yes, I

825
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 6: think so. Will you know, we'll do a little Dodger

826
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 6: history during the week, get some former players and teammates on,

827
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 6: and I'm hoping I could.

828
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 2: Come down during the World Series and be in studio

829
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 2: games open. This studio stuff is really even better than

830
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: the Comrax device I use at home.

831
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 6: Down here.

832
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,080

Speaker 6: for show, ay Otanio the man, your buddy.

835
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 2: What happened? I think the Keys is you don't look

836
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 2: too forward, You stay in the moment. And you just

837
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: put it on these guys. Wipe them out. Now the

838
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: foot is on the throat. Quit looking forward, stay in

839
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,600
