1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Put a small salt time to get at people what

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: they want to die.

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Who is special?

4
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, it's not a headache.

5
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:06,840

Speaker 6: Grab your phone to get in on the show called

9
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 6: eight six six nine eighty seven two five seven.

10
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 7: Come to show and now your host of Dodger Talk,

11
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 7: David Vasse.

12
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 8: Welcome to Dodger Talk, David Bass say with you until

13
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 8: eight o'clock tonight here on AM five to seventy LA Sports.

14
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 8: We are at the Rogers Center in Toronto. Today was

15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 8: media day. We'll get you a lot of conversations we

16
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 8: had from both sides, from the Blue Jays, from the Dodgers,

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 8: George Springer, Max Scherzer, Max Munsey, Tommy Edmund Yamamoto.

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 4: So we'll get to all that.

19
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 8: And also I have some caller receipts from fans freaking

20
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 8: out during the during the summer and the regular season

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 8: and can't wait to share those receipts with you. We

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 8: also have a one on one conversation with Clayton Kershaw

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 8: coming up at the bottom of the hour. But we

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 8: do have breaking news that came down at about six

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 8: thirty Eastern time three thirty Pacific time, and it does

26
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 8: affect the Dodger roster and the bullpen, but it's bigger

27
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 8: than baseball. The Dodgers posted on their social media that

28
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 8: Alex Vesia is away from the team because of personal

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 8: matters with him and his wife. In case you didn't know,

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 8: Vessia's wife was pregnant, So obviously we're respecting their privacy

31
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 8: and we're sending out our love.

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 4: And prayers to them. Not sure exactly.

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 8: What the specific reason is, but the Dodgers did post

34
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 8: that Alex Vesia is away from the Dodgers, and I

35
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 8: haven't seen a playoff roster yet, not sure if Vessia

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 8: is on it.

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: Vessi has been.

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 8: Such a big part of the Dodgers roster and postseason.

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 8: I mean, he is one of their best relievers. And

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 8: if they're without him, at least for the first two games,

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 8: that gives the Blue Jays a huge advantage. And the

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 8: Dodgers need even more length out of their starters without Vessia.

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 8: And obviously this is secondary considering whatever him and his

44
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 8: wife are going through for him not to be here

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 8: in Toronto. But it's funny. This may open the door

46
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 8: for a Tanner Scott World Series. Roster spot without Vessia.

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 8: Dave Roberts said earlier today they haven't decided whether or

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 8: not to leave Vessia off the World Series roster, so

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 8: there is still a chance that Vessia is on the

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 8: World Series roster and joins them when they return in

51
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 8: Los Angeles. Also, another possibility we found out from a

52
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball spokesman is that the Dodgers could put

53
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 8: Vessia on bereavement and then bring him back later in

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 8: the World Series, So there is a chance that they

55
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 8: don't have to leave Vessia off the World Series roster.

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 8: Bereavement is certainly in play, and I wasn't sure about

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 8: that when the news broke, but we're starting to get

58
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 8: some information from Major League Baseball that, yes, the Dodgers

59
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 8: could put him on bereavement, and if the circumstances dictated

60
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 8: and he was feeling good enough to come back and pitch,

61
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 8: he would be available later in the World Series. So

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 8: our thoughts and prayers go out to Alex Vesia, and

63
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 8: certainly we'll see what other options the Dodgers have to

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 8: fill his spot for a temporary basis. Could be Tanner

65
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 8: Scott back in play, who hasn't pitched in over a month.

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 8: All Right, we'll see where the Dodgers go with alex Vesia,

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 8: but we want to get to some of the Blue

68
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 8: Jays media Day and we had a chance to catch

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 8: up with George Springer, who is at the center of

70
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 8: the storm with the twenty seventeen Astros, and we did

71
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 8: not shy away from that when we caught up with

72
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 8: Springer at media Day.

73
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: There's a lot of history between you and the Dodgers.

74
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 8: What do you feel about this series and when you

75
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 8: go back to l A the reception that you've gotten

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 8: in the past, Is that a factor in any of this?

77
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 9: I mean, it's ultimately at the end of the day,

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 9: our team has to go play our game, go be

79
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 9: who we are and you know who We'll see what happens.

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 8: Which had been like to play behind not just one city,

81
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 8: but an entire country and have them back in the

82
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 8: World Series.

83
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: It's special. No, it doesn't really hit you.

84
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 9: You know that you're playing for a whole country up

85
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 9: until it does, so you know this is this is awesome.

86
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 9: I couldn't be more excited for for our fans.

87
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 8: It's been a lot of talked about and rightfully so.

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 8: The Dodgers starting pitching. How good it's been this postseason?

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 8: When you're going against four starters like that, What's what's

90
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 8: the mindset of an offense?

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 9: You know, I just think you understand that there's not

92
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 9: gonna be a lot to hit. You understand that, you

93
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 9: know those are four, four or five elite guys, and

94
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 9: you know that you know that they can control his own,

95
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 9: can pound his own. So you know, you just have

96
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 9: to kind of go grind it out, and you know,

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 9: we'll see what happens.

98
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 8: You're one of the the only guys that have played

99
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 8: in the World Series on the team. Do you have

100
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 8: any sort of message for him in the clubhouse? What's

101
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 8: your role in trying to help these guys that don't

102
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 8: have the experience.

103
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm the old guy in the

104
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 9: locker room. You know who besides Max, Max is ancient.

105
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 9: I have some stuff that I'll let them know. You know,

106
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 9: just to go go have fun, enjoy the moment. You

107
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 9: know that these are moments that you don't know if

108
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 9: you're ever going to get there. You don't know if

109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 9: you're ever gonna get back. Obviously, it's an extremely hard

110
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 9: task with that team on the other side of the line.

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 9: But you know, just just just go into joy the

112
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 9: moment about be who you are as a player.

113
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 8: George Springer was the twenty seventeen World Series MVP. He

114
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 8: was the guy that sent the Blue Jays to this

115
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 8: World Series, so his experience and clutch play is.

116
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: Something to keep an eye on.

117
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 8: From the Blue Jays side, we always talk about Keith

118
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 8: a Hernandez and his love for October. Well, George Springer

119
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 8: also has a knack for that type of October play

120
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 8: and he has showed it already in this October for

121
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 8: the Blue Jays had a chance to also catch up

122
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 8: with former Dodger Max Scherzer. Scherzer was part of the

123
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 8: Dodgers in twenty twenty one that lost to Freddie Freeman's

124
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 8: Braves in Game six of the NLCS, and we all

125
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 8: remember that mac Scherzer all of a sudden couldn't pitch

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 8: in Game six of the NLCS when the Dodgers needed

127
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 8: him the most. Scherzer earlier this year, when the Blue

128
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 8: Jays were at Dodgers Stadium, decided that he really wanted

129
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 8: a picture and exchange of jerseys with one of his

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 8: fellow peers and a guy that has been there.

131
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: A parallel of his career as far.

132
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 8: As when they started being two members that are active

133
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 8: of the three thousand strikeout club, and that was Clayton Kershaw.

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 8: And started out the interview at Media Day with Scherzer

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 8: talking about that moment and the fact that the Dog

136
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 8: and Blue Jays are in the World Series, meaning those

137
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 8: two future Hall of famers will be on the mound

138
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 8: and one of them will be a champion.

139
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 2: Again.

140
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 10: We didn't necessarily say that, but I said, man, this

141
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 10: can't be the last time. We gotta do this again.

142
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 10: It's too much fun when we compete against each other.

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 10: And uh, you know, I think the thing is high

144
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 10: as of any player I can think of it, you know,

145
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 10: when I think about him, what he's meant to the game,

146
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 10: and definitely when he's meant to.

147
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: The Dodgers' organization.

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 10: So, uh, you know, obviously a great picture and that

149
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 10: love competing against him.

150
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 8: You and Donnie have been inside the Dodgers, you know,

151
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 8: and understand their method.

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: Does that give you any.

153
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 8: Sort of sort of advantage or strategic help to your

154
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 8: other teammates, No.

155
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 10: Because they're gonna adapt to what you know our thing is.

156
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 10: And just like we're gonna do to that. Like, you know,

157
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 10: it doesn't give us a competitive avantage. You know, we

158
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 10: were gonna be humans playing baseball. They're gonna make decisions.

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 10: We're gonna make decisions.

160
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 8: What do you remember about that twenty one season with

161
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 8: the Dodgers and just you coming out of the bullpen

162
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 8: in San Francisco and just the way things ended. A

163
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 8: lot of guys say that on that team, said that

164
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 8: was the most talented team they ever played on.

165
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it really was a really special team,

166
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 10: really talented team.

167
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 6: Uh.

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: You know, we were loaded, but so were the Giants.

169
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: The Giants. You know, sometimes when you get into those.

170
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 10: Division series, I mean, those those division series can absolutely

171
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 10: kill you.

172
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: I mean it takes.

173
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 10: Every last guy, uh to be able to go out

174
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 10: there and do that to win win a series in

175
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 10: that situation. You know, we got caught in that coming

176
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 10: from the wildcard game, you know, going into you know,

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 10: playing against the Giants.

178
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 2: I mean they were really really.

179
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 10: Good team, and you know I was I had to

180
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 10: come out of the whole playing to close out Game five.

181
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 10: So you know, you know, we can always look back

182
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 10: at how that all transpired and play the couldas should

183
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 10: would a game, But you know, my time in LA,

184
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 10: I always have good memories of it. I got to

185
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 10: have some really cool moments there and uh definitely in

186
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 10: the Clubhoufs two and get to know those guys, So

187
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 10: you know, I only I only think highly of my

188
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 10: time there in LA.

189
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 8: It seemed like you guys may have been emotionally spent

190
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 8: after having to play the wildcard game then playing a

191
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 8: rival like the Giants for five.

192
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: Is there any danger of.

193
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 8: The Blue Jays and you guys maybe being emotionally spent

194
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 8: after a seven game series like that coming into the

195
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 8: World Series.

196
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 10: You know, I guess that's a fair question. But we've

197
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 10: had a little bit more time. Uh you know, there's

198
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 10: like three days. Uh there's Monday's, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah,

199
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 10: there was three days in between that series. So kind

200
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 10: of let's everybody, you know, catch your breath. I think

201
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 10: when you move from DS to you know, the NLCS,

202
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 10: you only have like a day. So we got of

203
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 10: got you know, like that kind of played a role

204
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 10: into it. So hopefully that help that helps us getting

205
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 10: a few days off here before we actually start game one.

206
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 4: They might take a lot out of you.

207
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, I can answer questions all day log it's easier

208
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 10: and throwing the baseball.

209
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 8: Hey, I wasn't scared. Mac Surezer is a talker and

210
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 8: he's a veteran. He's not going to shy away from anything.

211
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 8: So a good professional conversation there with Max Scherzer, who

212
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 8: is a former Diamondback, and so is Blue Jays center

213
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 8: fielder Dalton VARs Show, who had his best year since

214
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 8: being traded to Arizona the year before the Diamondbacks went

215
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 8: to the World Series. Now he's here finally and certainly

216
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 8: is familiar with the dominance of the Dodgers. Obviously you've

217
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 8: seen the Dodgers and seeing what they've built over the

218
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 8: years playing in the NL West. To have this opportunity

219
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 8: to beat them in the World Series, is it somewhat surreal.

220
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Obviously they're a really really good team.

221
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 11: I've played my whole career, and they've got really good

222
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 11: leaders and being able to know what it's like to

223
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 11: be in this position and kind of being in the

224
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 11: World Series, So they obviously have that feeling.

225
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: But I mean, we also have good leaders.

226
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 11: Over here too, have been there with Max and George,

227
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 11: so obviously taking in one step at a time, understanding

228
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 11: what we need to do to be prepared.

229
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: They're going to be really prepared to go out there

230
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: and play a game.

231
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 8: When you size up the Dodgers and just the tail

232
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 8: of the tape between your team and their team, what

233
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 8: stands out to you the most as a guy that's involved.

234
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's their experience. They have a bunch

235
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 11: of guys over there who were on the team last

236
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 11: year when they want it, so I think it's more

237
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 11: experience than anything else. But it's about who can kind

238
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 11: of control their adrenaline. That's really what it comes down to.

239
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 11: And obviously being in the position like we played a

240
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 11: really good team with Seattle of going to seven games,

241
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 11: So I think overall we do a really good job

242
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 11: of being able to control that part of it and

243
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 11: being able.

244
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: To go play a game. We just can't do anything

245
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: more than that.

246
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 8: Watching from Dodger Stadium, it seemed like you guys really

247
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 8: emptied the emotional tank in game seven. How do you

248
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 8: refill it and do you feel like you guys have

249
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 8: been recharged after such an emotional series and emotional win.

250
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think overall, I think every series is like that.

251
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 11: So obviously, like a lot of guys who have never

252
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 11: made it this far in the playoffs or guys, it's

253
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 11: the first time coming through it. Like there is gonna

254
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 11: be a lot of emotion every series, but it's about

255
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 11: understanding that stress and anxiety that was filled all up

256
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 11: into that Game seven and you poured it out because

257
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 11: you love the guys on this team and you cared

258
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 11: for everybody, and so for us to win that series

259
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 11: is great, but obviously it was onto the next like

260
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 11: we kind of were able to flip our minds really

261
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 11: quick and say, hey, we still have four more games

262
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 11: to win.

263
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 8: All right, last thing for you, first World Series, this

264
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 8: World Series Media Day. I'm sure you've seen it now

265
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 8: that you're here. What's your impressions of World Series Media Day?

266
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 11: It's controlled chaos. But just go enjoy it. I mean,

267
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 11: there's really nothing about it. Like they all want to

268
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 11: talk to you, and they all want to know a story,

269
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 11: but it just go enjoy it, enjoy every moment of it,

270
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 11: and soak.

271
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: It all in.

272
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 8: Var Show likely not going to start tomorrow night in

273
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 8: Game one of the World Series against Blake Snell. The

274
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 8: Blue Jays do have a platoon in center field, so

275
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 8: VARs Show will be out there for Game two against Yamamoto.

276
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 8: All right, before we wrap things up and get to

277
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 8: the receipts, and you are going to love to hear

278
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 8: receipts I pulled out from this past summer of Dodger

279
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 8: talk callers. Let's get to Don Mattingly, the former Dodger

280
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 8: manager who is now the bench coach for the Blue Jays.

281
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 8: First time in his major league career that he is

282
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 8: going to the World Series, albeit not as a player,

283
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 8: not as a manager, but as the Blue Jays bench coach.

284
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 8: And that has been a big time storyline. He's gotten

285
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 8: a lot of attention over it. And I had a

286
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 8: chance to sneak into his Blue Jays media day.

287
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, a couple of hundred ticks, some different people.

288
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 13: But no, it's it's been a really humbling feeling that people,

289
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 13: you know, kind of want that for you. But for me,

290
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 13: you know, I'm happy about that, but it does keep

291
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 13: going back to our players. It's it's really about them.

292
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 13: I'm a kind of.

293
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 12: Blended into the woodwork here, not really.

294
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 13: You know, John's the manager, He's the ones that's that's

295
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 13: doing all the legwork, making a lot of the tough decisions,

296
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 13: a lot of different departments are doing all the work

297
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 13: with the hitters and the.

298
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 12: Pitchers and things like that.

299
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 13: I think, like Tomorrow and myself, what kind of here

300
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 13: to support john support anybody that we can within the group.

301
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 12: I kind of look at myself as a perspective coach

302
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 12: more than anything else right now.

303
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 13: As the season went on, it's like, hey, let's keep

304
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 13: this from perspective.

305
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 12: We lose a couple of games, We're fine. Things like that.

306
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 8: But Johnny, in all the years as a player, coacher, managers,

307
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 8: which one before this one did you feel like, I

308
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 8: think we're going to make it a sure?

309
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 13: I like the ninety four ninety five teams I played

310
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 13: on felt really good.

311
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 12: The eighty five team was really good. Teams in LA.

312
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 13: The teams I had in LA, I felt like I

313
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 13: had really good shots. The year we got beat by

314
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 13: the Mets, I thought was a tough We got.

315
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 12: Beat in game five.

316
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 13: I think out in LA we had to grom on

317
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 13: the ropes and we didn't.

318
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 12: We weren't able to put him away.

319
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 13: That one good about There's been a there's been a

320
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 13: few teams that you know.

321
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 12: I think the biggest thing you know is when you

322
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 12: get into the playoffs.

323
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 13: Anything can happen in a short series. It's not one,

324
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 13: six and two, it's seven. Who gets hot?

325
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 14: Uh?

326
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 12: You know who makes the big play, who gets the

327
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 12: big hit.

328
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 13: You get momentum, roll in your way, get pressure on

329
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 13: somebody else.

330
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 12: Anything can happen. So I think all of those teams

331
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 12: you feel like you can. Even in Miami.

332
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 13: You know the year of COVID. You know, we went

333
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 13: that first round in Chicago, and you know what we got.

334
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 13: We got a couple of good young pitchers out there

335
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 13: that could have got hot, uh, and we could have

336
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 13: moved on, but we weren't able to.

337
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 12: But you always believe that you can.

338
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 8: Everybody very happy for Don Mattinglee. I'm not as excited

339
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 8: as everybody else. It would have meant more. I feel

340
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 8: if he was the manager of the Blue Jays than

341
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 8: just the bench coach, although he has had a big

342
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 8: influence on Blue Jays manager John Schneider. But I kind

343
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 8: of feel like this is an East Coast thing. A

344
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 8: lot of Yankees people care more than anybody else that

345
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 8: Don Mattingly finally made it to the World Series. Isn't

346
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 8: it a little watered down that he's going with the

347
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 8: Blue Jays as the bench coach instead of the Dodgers

348
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 8: manager or a Yankees player.

349
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: That's the way I feel. Well.

350
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 8: Well, wow, look who walked into the Dodger Talk radio booth.

351
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 8: Rick Krajeuski, who has taken on the lifestyle of the

352
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 8: Canadian Mounties with a great mustache out here. He's been

353
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 8: alongside Joe Davis for the entire American League postseason, and

354
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 8: Joe Davis and John Smoltz and Rick Krajuski will be

355
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 8: in the booth again for the World Series coming up

356
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 8: tomorrow night. All right, when we continue on Dodger Talk,

357
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 8: we will get to the receipts I pulled out from

358

360
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,760

Speaker 8: with Clayton Kershawn will also try to get to some

367
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 8: of the other Dodgers at media day, you heard from

368
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 8: the Blue Jays was not afraid to present to George Springer.

369
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 8: He will hear a lot of booze before Game three.

370
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 8: During Game three, and also Max Scherzer just wanted to

371
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 8: remind him that some of us have not forgotten about

372
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 8: twenty twenty one. It was great to hear from Dalton

373
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 8: Varshow as well. And Don Mattingley of course, very cool

374
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 8: to hear him reference the twenty fifteen NLDS and that

375
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 8: Dodger team that was in a great position to win

376
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 8: the World Series, just unfortunately came up short in Game five.

377
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 8: It's Game one of the World Series right here on

378
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 8: AM five to seventy LA Sports. Rick Monday and Stephen

379
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 8: Nelson will have the call. Our coverage begins at four o'clock,

380
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 8: with first pitch at five o'clock from the Rogers Center

381
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 8: here in Toronto on Snell Zilla Day. Blake Snell with

382
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 8: an era under one this postseason, being mentioned in the

383
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 8: same sentence as Kershaw as Cofax with this type of

384
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 8: run and look, there's a reason why he's starting Game one.

385
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 8: He set the tone in the NLDS, He's set the

386
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 8: tone in the NLCS and the Dodgers are expecting him,

387
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 8: and Blake is expecting himself to set the tone in

388
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 8: Game one of the World Series. Remember this is the

389
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 8: second time Snell has pitched in the World Series. He

390
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 8: pitched for the Rays against the Dodgers. Of course, in

391
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 8: the twenty World Series, that infamous Game six where Kevin

392
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 8: Cash took out of Blake Snell that was dominating the Dodgers.

393
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 8: So Dave Roberts is going to push Snell tomorrow night

394
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 8: like he has all postseason, and Snell has expressed to

395
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 8: me many times how badly he wants this and how

396
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 8: badly he wants to hoist the World Series trophy with

397
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. We'll get to Kershawan the Dodgers coming up

398
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 8: in our next segment. But right now, I have receipts,

399
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 8: and thanks to the help of calling Yee, we have

400
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 8: receipts from you during the regular season, panicking over games

401
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 8: in April, panicking and games in May, panicking in games

402
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 8: even as late as September. Take for example, this receipt

403
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 8: Mike and Rancho kuckamonga as late as September, anxious over

404
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 8: the Dodgers playoff hopes.

405
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: Hey, DV, you know It's been a while since I

406
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: called in. Normally I'm calling in when things go wrong,

407
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 3: but you know, this season, I decided to take a

408
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 3: step back from from the anxiety of baseball and just

409
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, trust in the process. But you know, after

410
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: yesterday and today's games, I'm pushing.

411
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 12: The panic button.

412
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: I know, you know the World Series isn't one in September,

413
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: but my gosh, you know we're not looking good going

414
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: into October baseball at all, and so I just wanted

415
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: to see your thoughts on you know, where's your confidence

416
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: level in going into October from what you've seen lately.

417
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 8: Out of the boys, I want you to take a

418
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 8: deep breath. I know it's hard to do in Rancho Cucamonga.

419
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 8: That's that's where Dino Evil pioneered that city, that great

420
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 8: city now that has emerged out of the ashes out there,

421
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 8: out of the dirt. I mean, there were no ashes really,

422
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 8: So I want you to take a deep breath, relax

423
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 8: and enjoy the games and enjoy the riot. The Dodgers

424
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 8: are the defending World Series champions. It wasn't that long

425
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 8: ago they were celebrating, so they still have great players.

426
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: Let's see what happens. Mike, Well, Mike and Rancho Kukamonga.

427
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 8: I hope your anxiety has calmed down because the Dodgers

428
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 8: are back in the World Series as I predicted.

429
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 4: How about Max Mounsey.

430
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 8: I feel like he's the guy you didn't appreciate until

431
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 8: he was gone.

432
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: How about our friend.

433
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 8: Carlos Carlos in May just going full blown get rid

434
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 8: of Max Mounsey.

435
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 4: Carlos, you're on Dodger Talk.

436
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 6: How are you doing, Carlos, Listen about the Max Munsey.

437
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 6: You know, keeping everything in perspective.

438
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 15: You know, the Dodgers are on pace to win one

439
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 15: hundred and twelve games, so so you know theyve look

440
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 15: crappy these last few games, but you know it's it's it's.

441
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 6: Week two or whatever. Having said that, like, I hate

442
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 6: to dump on Monsey, but but you are the heels

443
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 6: of an on the heels going already terrible twenty twenty four.

444
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 6: This dude is us to an atrocious start. I mean,

445
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 6: and it's not just the numbers. He can't catch up

446
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 6: at the fastball. He's fooled by any off speed. And

447
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 6: not to mention he's he's an average defender at best.

448
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 6: I mean, I think they need to give. I would say,

449
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 6: Chris Taylor playing a few games.

450
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 8: Wow, Carlos, I hope you call back because I had

451
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 8: the receipts on your months.

452
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 4: He hate.

453
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 8: How about all of you that were out on Mookie

454
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 8: Betts during the regular season. Yes, the first one hundred

455
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 8: games were not pretty, but considering and as I have

456
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 8: stated over and over again, it reminded you you don't

457
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 8: count out great players and you have to believe their

458
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 8: personal pride, their professional pride will win out. And that's

459
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 8: what's happening with Mookie Betts. He has turned around his season.

460
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 8: The last sixty games, he's hitting nearly three hundred with

461
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 8: a slugging percentage of over five hundred while playing really

462
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 8: good shortstop. One of my favorite callers, though, Diana in

463
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 8: Granada Hills, was just ready to say, MOOKI go back

464
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 8: to right field and never see shortstop again.

465
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 4: Let's go out to Granada Hills. Diana. You're on Dodger

466
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 4: Talk with David Vasse. How you doing, Diana.

467
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 16: I'm doing well. Hi, David. You know I recall you

468
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 16: saying so many times, especially last season on the Dodgers

469
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 16: go as Mooky goes, and Mooki's not going, and I

470
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 16: just don't understand. You know, in business, we always have

471
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 16: the saying don't mess with what works, And why do

472
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 16: the Dodgers insist on messing with what works, which is

473
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 16: keeping Mooki in right field?

474
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: Diana wasn't alone.

475
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 8: How about this guy just completely just completely discounting the

476
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 8: preparation Mookie that's put in that shortstop and the fact

477
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 8: that even at that time he was playing pretty good there.

478
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 14: And you know, look, the middle end feels so important. Man,

479
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 14: you can't have like I love Bets. I love that

480
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 14: he's trying to do that. Let me ask you another question.

481
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 6: Let me this is little question I'm to leave with you. One.

482
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 14: Was the last time a player in the middle of

483
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 14: his career moved from one position to shortstop? That is

484
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 14: absolutely unheard of. Man, I admire the best trying to

485
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 14: do that, But man, come on now, yeah.

486
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 4: I know that's what the kids say.

487
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 8: But I got the receipts and I had it on

488
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 8: you just completely ripping Mookie Bets. Here he is, and

489
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 8: somebody with the Dodgers on the flight here to Toronto

490
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 8: told me watch out for a big World Series from

491
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 8: Mookie Bets. He did not win the World Series MVP

492
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 8: in eighteen or twenty or even last year. He wants

493
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 8: to remind people how big of a part he is

494
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 8: in this Dodger offense. And John Schneider walked o'tani at

495
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 8: Dodgers Stadium whenever first space was open. So Mookie Bets

496
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 8: is determined to make the Jay's pay if that happens again,

497
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 8: speaking of criticism of management and Mookie Bets and the roster,

498
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 8: this really paid me to pull this receipt out from

499
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 8: Matt in Woodland Hills. Woodland Hills is my town, and

500
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 8: it really hurt my heart to hear a guy like

501
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 8: this go after the Dodgers. We got to start out

502
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 8: in my hometown, Woodland Hills. Matt, you're on Dodger Talk.

503
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 2: How you doing.

504
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 5: I'm doing all right, Dave. So Yeah, I wanted to

505
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 5: talk a little bit just about this roster construction in general.

506
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: I think there's a larger issue here, Like we've got

507
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 5: the highest payroll, We've got the oldest roster. Old rosters

508
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 5: in any sport have the most injuries. It's been that way,

509
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 5: the most aisle games for any team in the last

510
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: three years. The Dodgers are always on top and the

511
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 5: far system is overrated. I mean, who's the last really

512
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 5: good person that's come up since Will Smith that's really made?

513
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: Is you know? I?

514
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 5: Well? Okay, one, okay, the coveted of the coveted GM,

515
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 5: that is, you bestowed with three hundred million in payroll

516
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 5: against like the Brewers with one thirteen, like last three

517
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 5: two years. It's just struggle after struggle, underperform, underperform.

518
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 8: Well, Matt, I guess that roster of veterans turned out

519
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 8: to be pretty good. But because here they are in

520
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 8: the World Series again, and speaking of hate for the

521
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 8: roster and management and Dave Roberts, how about our guy

522
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 8: Dan and Camio. Now, I'm gonna play a lot of

523
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 8: this receipt because Dan and Camario said Dave Roberts was

524
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 8: no good all the way back in May, just four

525
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 8: months removed from winning the World Series. Again, Let's go

526
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 8: out to Camio. Dan, you're on Dodger Talk. How you

527
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 8: doing Dan?

528
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 17: Hey? Dave love your shoe.

529
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 14: Hey.

530
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 17: The toughest job a professional manager has is to get

531
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 17: these multi gazillion dollar players to play at their highest level. Well,

532
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 17: I'm sorry, Dave Roberts is not able to do that anymore.

533
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 17: He's lost to Alley. They need to move on.

534
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 4: When did he lose it? Did so?

535
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 8: When did Dave Roberts lose it? Was it after Game

536
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 8: five of the World Series? When exactly did he lose

537
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 8: it this year?

538
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 17: And there's there's a time you have to move on.

539
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, he just lost it.

540
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 8: The world, going to Blake Trining in Game five and

541
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 8: then going to Walker Bueller.

542
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 17: They won in spite of him. Look at what he's

543
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 17: doing now.

544
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: Dodgers record.

545
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 8: I think I'll end it on the receipts right there,

546
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 8: Ken in Newport Beach honorable mention, But I'm not going

547
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 8: to play it. You're too big of a Dodger fan.

548
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 8: But just remember the receipts I pulled out from you

549
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 8: and how upset you were over a team that had

550
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 8: just won the World Series and now showed you they

551
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 8: know how to pace themselves for the regular season. And

552
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 8: I'll admit some guys more than others turned on the switch,

553
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 8: but guys like Mookie Betts never gave up on his season.

554
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 8: And the Dodgers starting rotation was not healthy. They had

555
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 8: it in their minds to make sure they were healthy

556
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 8: for the start of the playoffs and there has been

557
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 8: no other four better starters this postseason or in any

558
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 8: time recently that are pitching as elite as Snell, Yamamoto,

559
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 8: Otani and Glass now are. They're gonna have to finish

560
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 8: it off or it won't mean anything.

561
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: But just keep in.

562
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 8: Mind the Dodgers not only care about games in the

563
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 8: regular season, but more importantly, they care about winning the

564
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 8: World Series, because that's all you'll care about. When we

565
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 8: continue from Rogers Center in Toronto on Dodger Talk on

566
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,000

587
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,960

00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,760

597
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 8: and the last couple of months of the season more

598
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 8: than you've allowed yourself to enjoy other moments of your career.

599
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: I think so, I think so.

600
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 18: I Yeah, I usually try not to get too wrapped

601
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 18: up and everything, but yeah, once I kind of came

602
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 18: out and said that I was finished, it's hard not to,

603
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 18: you know, it's hard not to be a little bit reflective.

604
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 18: And you know, the few moments I had, you know,

605
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 18: the last home game at Dodger Stadium, the last game

606

Speaker 18: So it's yeah, all that stuff you can't help but

613
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 18: kind of look back and just be grateful for it all.

614
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 8: During this journey of the postseason, I've seen players from

615
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 8: other teams, you know, workouts or before the games, go

616
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 8: out of their way to kind of just salute you.

624
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 18: especially when you're playing against you, But to have guys

625
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 18: say you know, great career, you know, enjoyed playing against

626
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 18: you or competing all that stuff is uh, is very

627
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 18: is awesome. You know, it really is because the peers.

628
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 18: You know, your peers are kind of that's who the

629
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 18: opinions matter. You know, there's a lot of people outside

630
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 18: this game that will say things that don't understand. So

631
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 18: to have have your peers respect is uh. I've always

632
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 18: said that guys inside your clubhouse and guys around the game,

633
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 18: that's the that's the most important thing as far as

634
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 18: your reputation has.

635
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 8: The some of the more uncomfortable things is for you

636
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 8: to hear that and hear people celebrate you, and even

637
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 8: guys in your own clubhouse have that type of respect

638
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 8: and vocalize it, even maybe making goat sounds at times.

639
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 18: I just tell them not to make it weird, Dave,

640
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 18: I just tell them, don't make it weird. And so

641
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 18: you know, but yeah, we've got we've got a lot

642
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 18: of awesome guys. I think everybody it's just a I

643
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 18: think it's a mutual thing. I'm so grateful for all

644
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 18: these guys, and it's just it's just pretty cool.

645
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 8: Is there something to be said about everything you've accomplished.

646
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 8: Certain players on this team have accomplished individually and as

647
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 8: a group that you guys are still hungry for more.

648
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 8: Are there guys playing with a chip on their shoulder

649
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 8: to prove something for themselves and for the group?

650
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 18: Is that part of this No, I just think we're

651
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 18: a great team and this is what we're supposed to do.

652
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's as.

653
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 18: Simple as that, Like we don't have We've got one

654
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 18: goal at the beginning of every season, and it takes

655
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 18: the right type of superstars. You know, and Andrew does

656
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 18: a great job. You know when you look at show, Hey, Mookie, Freddie,

657
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 18: the top three guys on down, they're superstar players, but

658
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 18: their mindset is just to win the World Series, and

659
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 18: so they do everything that they possibly can to help us.

660
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: Win the World Series.

661
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 18: So I've been around guys where they've been great players

662
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 18: that might that might not necessarily be the case at times,

663
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 18: and so to have that is just like that that

664
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 18: trickle down effect makes everybody realize that that's that's why

665
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 18: we're here, and that's why we are a Dodger. That's

666
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 18: what we signed up to do, and we're going to

667
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 18: try to do that over the course of the next

668
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 18: ten days.

669
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 8: Doesn't that make this team unique because you have been

670
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 8: teammates with guys that had a lot of talent but

671
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 8: didn't have the work ethic to be able to fulfill it.

672
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I don't know if it's work ethic.

673
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is.

674
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 18: I just know that there's kind of like a a

675
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 18: factor of wanting to win and what that looks like.

676
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 18: And you saw last year with Freddie's ankle. You see

677
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 18: it this year with Mookie becoming a goal glove shortstop.

678
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: You see it with Shohey.

679
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 18: Doing everything he can to be the best hitter and

680
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 18: the best pitcher. And that trickles all the way down,

681
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 18: like Will Smith trying to play through a broken hand,

682
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 18: or you know, like just just everybody pitcher's stepping up,

683
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 18: you know, pitching all the time, all bullpen guys throwing constantly.

684
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: You know, just different.

685
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 18: Stuff like they see these guys do it, so that

686
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 18: means that they they're going to fall in line too,

687
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 18: And that's that's just pretty cool.

688
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 8: Before I'll let you go, you've been a game one

689
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 8: starter many times in your career. Blake is kind of

690
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 8: setting the tone every series. What have you seen as

691
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 8: far as the growth from when he first started pitching

692
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 8: to where he's at right now with you guys.

693
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 18: I've always said that Blake when he's right, is top

694
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 18: top two to three pitchers in the game. I've said

695
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 18: that when he was in Tampa, I said that when

696
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 18: he was in San Diego of San Francisco.

697
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: He's he's special, he really is. And you're seeing that now.

698
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 18: He's got four pitches that are elite and he uh,

699
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 18: he loves to compete, he really does. So it's uh,

700
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 18: I'm excited.

701
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: To watch tomorrow. Have you seen Donnie yet.

702
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 18: Haven't seen Donna yet. Haven't seen don yet. I'll get

703
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 18: him a hug and tell him I'm happier here. But

704
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 18: this is as far as it goes. Thank you, Clayton,

705
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 18: all right, Thanks.

706
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 8: Last dance for Clayton Kershaw. Not too many players get

707
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 8: to go out as a champion, let alone a back

708
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 8: to back World Series champion, and that's the opportunity that

709
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 8: Kershaw and the Dodgers have in front of them as

710
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 8: it all gets started tomorrow night. Game one here in

711
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 8: Toronto had a chance to catch up with a few

712
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 8: of the other Dodger players on media Day. Some of

713
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 8: the guys that you don't really hear too often from,

714
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 8: including Max Munci, who many of you, as you just

715
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 8: heard from the caller receipts counted out a little prematurely.

716
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 19: I've been asked the dynasty question a lot over the

717
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 19: last week. You know, they always say, like another sports,

718
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 19: you have to win three titles to be a dynasty.

719
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 20: I don't know if that's true, but we have the

720
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 20: chance to do that.

721
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 19: I feel like for us, we've been in the postseason

722
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 19: last thirteen years in a row, or twelve years in

723
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 19: a row, whatever it is. You know, we've had that

724
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 19: chance to win a title every single year. I feel

725
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 19: like that has to.

726
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 20: Count for something.

727
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 19: And you know, for this group, this organization, from office,

728
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 19: the coaching stuff, the players, the culture we've created. To me,

729
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 19: that's been everything. And I feel like that in its

730
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 19: own is its own dynasty. Just the culture that we've

731
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 19: created that everyone else now knows about and you hear

732
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 19: other people talk about it.

733
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 8: At this point in time in the season, after everything

734
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 8: you guys have been through the last year and a half,

735
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 8: where are you guys emotionally and physically to be able

736
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 8: to pick yourselves up to get here and to win

737
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 8: four more already.

738
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 20: I mean, we better be ready. If not, then why

739
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 20: why are we here?

740
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 8: You know, you feel you get like a second life,

741
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 8: like a second win once you get here, because nobody's

742
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 8: one hundred percent at this time.

743
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 20: There's there's there's things you can do.

744
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 12: Dave.

745
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 19: You know you've heard me say that, there's there's there's

746
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 19: lines you willing the cross at this time of year.

747
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 19: You're not going to cross in in in June.

748
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 20: But you know we're gonna be ready to go. Guys

749
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 20: are gonna be ready to go.

750
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 19: Like I said, this is the whole reason you play

751
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 19: this game is to get to this point, and you're

752
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:54,720
Speaker 19: not gonna.

753
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 20: Let anything hold you back out there.

754
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 8: What do you make of Otani putting his NLCS MVP

755
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 8: trophy in the middle of the clubhouse.

756
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 20: I think it's awesome.

757
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 2: You know.

758
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 19: The first part of that is I think it's awesome

759
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 19: because you know, he said it was a team effort,

760
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 19: and really was the you know, there was there was

761
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 19: a guy each game and happened to be most of

762
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 19: our starting pitchers, but there was a guy each game

763
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 19: that won us those games. And you know, I think

764
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 19: that was just an incredible team effort to win four

765
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 19: games in an NLCS. Just the starting pitching, big timely hits,

766
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 19: big plays on defense. And so I think that's how

767
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 19: Schow felt about it was just, you know, there wasn't

768
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 19: one guy that won the series.

769
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 20: It was everybody.

770
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 19: And then the other part of that is, I guess

771
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 19: he's got so many MVP trophies he doesn't care.

772
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 20: About that one. You know, I gotta throw a joke

773
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 20: in there for you, Dave.

774
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 4: Thank you Monsey. I appreciate it. You really delivered today.

775
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 8: Of course, Max Mounsey will be a big part of

776
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 8: this World Series. He already has made two of the

777
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 8: best defensive plays of this postseason for the Dodgers at

778
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 8: third base the nlds that we all play and obviously

779
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 8: crashing and making a heads up throw to third base

780
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 8: with the aggress some brewers in the NLCS. Tommy Edmund

781
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 8: has been grinding through a right ankle right foot injury

782
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 8: all season long, and here he is trying to help

783
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 8: the Dodgers win the World Series for a second straight year,

784
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 8: his second year with the Dodgers, first full season with

785
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 8: the Dodgers. You guys started the season in Tokyo quicker

786
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 8: than everybody else.

787
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 4: You're playing longer than everybody else.

788
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 8: You obviously have you know, had to manage your ankle

789
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 8: throughout the year. How do you pick yourself up every

790
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 8: day and as a group be able to be here

791
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 8: to have this opportunity.

792
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's a long seaton.

793
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 7: Last year is a long season and this year is

794
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 7: about as long as it could possibly be with you know,

795
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 7: the early start and going to the World Series now.

796
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 7: But I think it's a lot easier when you truly

797
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,799
Speaker 7: enjoy being around the guys on the team. You know,

798
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 7: we all enjoy coming to the ballpark and being with

799
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 7: one another. You know, we have a brotherhood on this team,

800
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 7: and I think that's one of the things that makes

801
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 7: us special is just the bond that we have.

802
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 20: Have We create that.

803
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 7: Bond through you know, being at the field every day,

804
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 7: road trips, you know, playing cards on the plane. So

805
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 7: you know, there's just a lot of things that that

806
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 7: we enjoy about being with each other every single day,

807
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 7: and that's what makes the grind of a season easier.

808
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 8: Could you be here without enjoying being around each other

809
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 8: and having the chemistry you have between the.

810
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 2: Lines, you mean, being in the World Series?

811
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, could you enjoy being around this team or could

812
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 8: you be here at the World Series if without enjoying

813
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 8: each other.

814
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 7: I think it's very hard for a team to make

815
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 7: the World Series if you don't have that clubhouse chemistry

816
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 7: when you're playing for each other. It just makes things

817
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 7: a lot easier, and you know, and I think it

818
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 7: just allows you to perform better.

819
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 8: Do you think as a group you have something to

820
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 8: prove and do you believe individually there's guys on this

821
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 8: team that play or pitch with the chip on their

822
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 8: shoulder that kind of feeds into the focus and hunger

823
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 8: that you guys have maintained this year.

824
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 12: Yeah.

825
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 7: I mean, I think everybody on our team has has

826
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 7: the desire to be great and has the desire to

827
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 7: you know.

828
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 20: Perform as well as we possibly can.

829
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 7: And you know a lot of guys on the team

830
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 7: have accomplished just about everything you could accomplish in a career,

831
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 7: and they're still hungry, you know, still hungry for more,

832
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 7: and you know, still some of the hardest workers that

833
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 7: you see, and just the way to go about their

834
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 7: routine and there's no sense of, oh, I've already completed everything.

835
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 7: I'm just you know, going through my career just trying to,

836
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 7: you know, check a few boxes, but rather everybody has

837
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 7: that pursuit of greatness. So you know, that's one of

838
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 7: the things that makes it special is the way that

839
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 7: those guys go about their day to day routines and

840
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 7: trying to do everything they can to get better.

841
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 8: I'll end this before I ask you the words to

842
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 8: O Canada.

843
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 4: I don't know.

844
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 7: I couldn't tell you.

845
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 4: That's why I'm ending it right now.

846
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate it.

847
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 8: Hey, I said this when Tommy Edmund came back from

848
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 8: the injured list. Even his outs from the left side

849
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 8: and the right side have been hard hit. He is

850
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 8: swinging the bat really well and has been ever since

851
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 8: he came back from the injured list last year's NLCSMVP

852
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 8: again is going to be another big part of this

853
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 8: very deep Dodger team. The pitching staff the starters obviously

854
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 8: have set the tone for the Dodgers all postseason long.

855
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 8: I had a chance to catch up with who probably

856
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 8: will be the Game three starter at Dodgers Stadium, Tyler

857
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 8: Glass now and just the big plan the Dodgers have

858
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 8: had all along for him and the other guys that

859
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 8: started the season on the injured list.

860
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think that's like the whole goal. I think

861
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 21: when I signed here, like you have the postseason in mind.

862
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 21: I think anyone who signs here, that's like the expectation

863
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 21: you have as a Dodger. You have to come and

864
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 21: win and the postseason, not just get there, but win,

865
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 21: And I think that's everyone's main goal. So I think

866
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 21: whatever you can do to put yourself in a good

867
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 21: situation for the postseason, for the World Series, everyone's on

868
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 21: board with that. So there's a little part of you that, like,

869
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 21: I guess if you feel ready to come back early.

870
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,880
Speaker 21: But I think for me specifically, it kind of just

871
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 21: timed out to where we both were like perfect time,

872
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 21: like let's go get healthy now and pitch.

873
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 17: Well.

874
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 8: You and Blake were kind of in that same boat

875
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 8: this year, and you guys obviously have been together a

876
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 8: long time. And what's the growth you've seen in him

877
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,760
Speaker 8: over the time that you weren't tamping together.

878
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 21: Yeah, Blake's always had a really good work ethic, and

879
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 21: he's always been like a unique pitcher and the way

880
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 21: that he pitches and goes about his business. I think

881
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 21: him just being able to throw any pitch in any

882
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 21: count the confidence he has. He never gives in. I

883
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 21: think that's always been consistent. I think him being a

884
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 21: dad has made him grow too. But I've always been

885
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 21: a big fan of Blake. He's always been a good teammate.

886
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 21: But yeah, it's nice to see him this many years

887
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 21: down the road and just to see that, like he's

888
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 21: matured and grown. But he's also the same guy. You know,

889
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 21: he's still the same funny dude, good work, ethic, good dude.

890
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 4: Would you be all in for him to drop a

891
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 4: new rap if you guys win, sure, I'm down.

892
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he wants to, I'm all for it.

893
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 4: Would you be the awkward guy on the wall with

894
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 4: your hat down, your head down?

895
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 2: No, I probably wouldn't be in the video. I'd probably

896
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 2: stay out of it.

897
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 12: Yeah.

898
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, Glass Now again is gonna be tough to beat

899
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,879
Speaker 8: at home because the Shadows will be there at five

900
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 8: o'clock in the afternoon at Dodger Stadium. And it's lined

901
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 8: up perfectly for the Dodgers all postseason to have glass

902
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 8: Now start games at Dodger Stadium. And it's worked out

903
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 8: even better because he's been pitching at three o'clock in

904
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 8: the afternoon, which has made him that much tougher to

905
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 8: hit and see the ball coming out of his hand

906
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden, it's ninety eight on you.

907
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 8: All right, Let's close out the show tonight with one

908
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 8: of the good hearted guys out there, Yamamoto, Yoshi Yamamoto

909
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 8: and his trusty interpreter, Hero, who was written about a

910
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 8: big feature in the La Times by Dylan Hernandez and

911
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 8: he got a little candid about some of the superstitions.

912
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 8: Yamamoto and Hero.

913
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 4: Have you think Hero is wearing his lucky boxer shorts today?

914
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 6: Kill?

915
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

916
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 12: Kill?

917
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: I's up there last today after tomorrow? Oh, my game day.

918
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 8: How do you feel this year this time around with

919
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 8: the World Series having the experience of last year?

920
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: I know, Kike.

921
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 22: And Ginz, I know stuff, I know, I know, I'm

922
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 22: feeling really good and I think I can go out

923
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 22: there and perform with the confidence.

924
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 8: How much do you feel the not burden, but the

925
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 8: responsibility of the starting pictures? Yourself and Snell to set

926
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 8: the tone for the first two games of this series.

927
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 2: He say, so, no.

928
00:45:48,600 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: Game one of the committed to you.

929
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: My buddy. That is an a.

930
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 3: Card, you.

931
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 4: Know, just like CS.

932
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 22: You know, in the first two games, that kind of

933
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 22: said to tone. You know, so I think, you know,

934
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 22: because our responsibility for these two games are very important,

935
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 22: and then that might determine the flow of the whole series.

955
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 8: as Yamamoto said after his last start, losing is not

956
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,000
