2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,119

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: It's winning it again.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,959

5

Speaker 2: morning as the sun starts to rise here in the

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: city of Los Angeles. And what a glorious night it

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: was last night at a Dodgers stadium, a game that

32
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: took six hours and thirty eight minutes, but it was

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: worth the wait, as the Dodgers prevailed in eighteen innings

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: with a six to five walk off win over the

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays to take a two games to one

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: lead in this best of seven World Series. Will climb

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: four innings pitch last night for the Dodgers. They use

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: every single reliever out of that bullpen. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: in the bullpen ready to go if they needed to

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: go to a nineteenth inning, and he was all ready

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: to go. Blake Snell said he was available if need be,

42
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: even though he had already thrown his side session that day. Saxy,

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: it was all hands on deck and truly truly a

44
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: team win with all twenty six guys last night, no

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: doubt and put down and you know buried is the

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: question is a bullpen there? Okay?

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 4: The bullpen's becoming a sanctuary for this team, very much unexpected.

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: You have to have a surprise.

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: Or two when you win a World Series, especially when

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: you're trying to repeat like the Dodgers are, you have

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: to have a surprise or two. Maybe in a larger sense,

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: the bullpen is a surprise because they are dynamite right now.

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, every arm that came out of the bullpen for

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: the Dodgers last night got it done. Even Blake trying

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: it to an extent, got the job done despite giving

56
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: up a run and the Dodgers able to answer back

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: and get that run back and tie it at five

58
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: and send it to extra innings. You and I were

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: talking during the game as it was evolving, as the

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: game was changing with the bullpen taking over, and it

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: was going to be which bullpen flinched first, which bullpen

62
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: was going to be the guys to give up that

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: hit or the run to give that team the lead,

64
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 2: and which bullpen was going to be able to hold

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: it down and close out this game and get the

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: final out in this ballgame last night, and it was

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: it was back and forth. Eric Lower pitched really well

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: for the Toronto Blue Jays. They went toe to toe

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: last night, the blue Jays bullpen the Dodgers' bullpen. Overall, though,

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: the game changed style wise, and even the Toronto Blue

71
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: Jays sort of got away from what they do best.

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: As the extra Indians continued to go on and on, Steve,

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: you saw their approach change a little bit. They started

74
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: slugging a little bit more. They got away from that hole,

75
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: slap the ball the right field station to the station,

76
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: we're going to pay per clip you paper cut you

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: to death sort of approach. They were slugging just like

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: the Dodgers were. It seemed like every guy up to

79
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: bat was trying to win it with one swing of

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: the bat.

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and how about Alejandro Kirk hitting that hanging curveball

82
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: from Glasnow. Glassnow doesn't hang a ton of curveballs, but

83
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: the one he did hang, Alejandro Kirk nailed it. And

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: this guy has a real knack for not only hitting

85
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: the ball the other way or hitting it where it's pitched.

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: And the one that he hit off of glass Now

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: on a hanging curveball, you know, even the guy hits

88
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: the ball the other way, he hit that ball more central,

89
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 4: and uh, that's what you do with the pitch. That's

90
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: that's a hangar, that's right there in the middle of

91
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 4: the zone. And again on on this on this bullpen

92
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: kind of going, you know, step for step with the Dodgers.

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: I thought after Domingus it was Bassett, Hoffman, Fisher and Lower.

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: They pitched really well getting in there the guts of

95
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: the game. I thought that that bullpen part for Toronto

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: was exceptionally good.

97
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: He is Steve Sacks. I'm Tim Kate eight six six,

98
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven two five seventy. Coming up. You're gonna

99
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: hear from Dave Roberts in his postgame press conference. Well

Speaker 2: pre and post on Sirius XM radio. What a night

104
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: though for the Dodgers last night, coming through in eighteen

105
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 2: innings to win the game by a final of six

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: to five. Let's go in the clubhouse. Last night, the

107
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: Dodgers get the win. After the game was over, after

108
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: all the media on the field last night, Steve Sacks,

109
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, Dodger manager, quieted his clubhouse and got all

110
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: the guys together, and before they started going their separate

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 2: ways and showering and going to see their families, he

112
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: asked for just a minute, he said, guys, I want

113
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: your attention. Hear me out. Here's Dave Roberts post game

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: last night, after an almost seven hour marathon win.

115
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: I just want to say, and I know I speak

116
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: for every single person in this clubhouse, I've never been

117
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: more proud of one of you guys from the guys

118
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 5: playing gone way a way way above whatever anyone has

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 5: ever asked of you guys. Not one of you guys

120
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 5: were phased, and every single one of you guys was

121
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 5: pulling through your guys and believed in each other. And

122
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 5: we've talked about all the time we're gonna meet every

123
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: single body. This is just not rhetoric, this is just

124
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 5: not talk. Tonight prove that we're gonna need every single

125
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: person on this roster help us win a baseball game.

126
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: Those guys games everything they had tonight to beat us,

127
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: and none of us waivered. Quit. We continue to fight.

128
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: That's who we are.

129
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 5: That's who we are. It's because you guys believe in

130
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 5: each other. And this is a special group, this special group.

131
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 5: And what Showhy did in the CS this couldn't epitomize

132
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five Dodgers anymore. This is a team effort.

133
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 5: It's a team effort. It's every single person in this room,

134
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: front office, coaches, support staff, it's everybody.

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 2: This is a team effort.

136
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 5: And hey, so enjoyed it. But we got a game

137
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: later today. All right, Hey, we got a game later today.

138
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 6: Hey we got a game yetter today.

139
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: That's right, Hey, leave it all out there.

140
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: You ready to go to Mark?

141
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 5: There's no letter.

142
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: All right, there's Dave Roberts last night. I love that,

143
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: Zach effective, very effective. Why is that effective as a player?

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: What if you're that you got because you got these

145
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: guys in the moment. These guys on that team want

146
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: their manager, They want to see him to be transparent.

147
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: That's exactly what Dave Roberts was. It wasn't scripted. It

148
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: was right out of his heart and they could feel it.

149
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 4: I could feel it listening to it, and it was

150
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 4: real and and these guys if you ask them to

151
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: tim I'm not this and again this isn't rhetoric either,

152
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: but I think if you ask those guys when they

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: were listening to Dave Roberts right there, they would have

154
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: told you that and believed it. They could have gone

155
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: out for another eighteen right then listening to what he said.

156
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: I have no question in my mind they'll be ready tonight.

157
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: They'll be rejuvenated. I think this puts another step, a

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: little bit of a lighter and and and and you

159
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: know better step in their uh in their walk to

160
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: uh to go on and face this game tonight. I

161
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: don't think they're gonna be tired. I think they're going

162
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 4: to be more than excited. I think this is a

163
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: chance that they could have buried the Blue Jays. Don't

164
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: count on it. Yeah, but this is this is a

165
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: deflating moment for the Blue Jays. We'll see what they're

166
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 4: made of. I won't take them lightly at all. But

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: you got a chance to bury this team if this

168
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: this game starts off on the bad note for the

169
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 4: for the Toronto club.

170
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: Well, two things for you. One is that a Tomulu

171
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: sorta asque postgame speech. Is that something he would do

172
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: after a postseason game, a big game is get you

173
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: guys together, thank you guys, talk about how important everybody is,

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: and then also make sure everybody's on the same page

175
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: moving forward.

176
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you don't want to do these all the

177
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: time because they lose their luster. Okay, you do these

178
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: once in a great while. You do this two three

179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 4: times a year.

180
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: That's it.

181
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 4: You have the private conversations and the officer at the

182
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: locker very effective that way. Doing it collectively as a

183
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: team once in a great wild maybe twice a year.

184
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: This was a time for that, and it was very

185
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: effective the way Dave did it.

186
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: Now, my other question for you is if your second baseman,

187
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: Steve Sacks, going back out there tonight for Game four

188
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: of this World Series, after playing in a six hour

189
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: and thirty eight minute game, after going out and having

190
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: eight at bats, and you get to win, and you're tired, Okay,

191
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: you're so tired, Not tired, all right, Hypothetically you're tired,

192
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: and you got to go back out there tonight sixteen

193
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: hours later playing in a game. How can you how

194
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: can you look at other guys around you though, and say, man,

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm tired. You know, I'm a little fatiquing the guy

196
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: on the mound just hit a couple of home runs

197
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: and said another postseason record last night. He might be tired, right,

198
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean, but if he's out there dealing and he's

199
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: out there performing, you have to raise your level. I mean,

200
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: you can't look at the guy on the mound and say, wow,

201
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: I wonder how he's doing. Oh, I'm so tired right now?

202
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,479
Speaker 2: Like right, you better right ris to the occasion as well.

203
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 4: Tim, Tim, I gotta tell you, and I'm not I'm

204
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: not just saying this. In all my career, you know,

205
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 4: I I I never felt like I was tired, and

206
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 4: never and I don't care if it was a doubleheader

207
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: in Atlanta in August. I remember one time after a game,

208
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: I was really spent, but overall, you rejuvenate, you're ready

209
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 4: for that next day and you're not tired. But I

210
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: remember after games there's times where you're you're really tired,

211
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: you know, in the middle of a dug after two

212
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 4: games in Atlanta, I remember Tommy walked by my locker

213
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: and I was, you know, taking off my shirt was

214
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: soaking wet.

215
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: I was tired, Tommy, sais what's wrong with you?

216
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 4: Some a little spet skipped you're tired.

217
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

218
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: He went into this tirade in front of the whole

219
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: team that I was tired. So after a game, you

220
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: better be tired. You want to be tired, because that

221
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: means you left it all out there. But the next

222
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: day you're not tired.

223
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 6: Man.

224
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: You're in your twenties, You're you're ready to go.

225
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 6: Man.

226
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 4: And after that game you're in the World Series.

227
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: You just heard that from your manager.

228
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: How could you possibly think that something would get in

229
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: their way called fatigue when when you're in you're in

230
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: the throes of something that's earth shattering right now, you're

231
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: in the biggest stage in the world.

232
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: How in the world could you be tired?

233
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: You team, it's more, it's more than just the physical thing.

234
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: It really is. You've told us before here and we've

235
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: done this for nine years in the postseason, and you've

236
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: talked about it. In eighty eight, you guys went through

237
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: the Mets. You guys had battles with them, and then

238
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 2: you get the World Series and you you know, overcome

239
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: the Bash Brothers and you beat them in five games,

240
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: and you've talked about it after that win in Oakland. Yes,

241
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: you were mentally, physically, and emotionally just completely drained. It

242
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: wasn't at that point once it all concluded where you

243
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: got to that emotional just exhale. But during those five games,

244
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: you're you're juiced, right, You're like juice. You are not

245
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: really but right, you know, but you're you're ready to go.

246
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: But it's that exhale after you win, when the when

247
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: you come down off this high that is playing in

248
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: the postseason.

249
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 4: Tim, It's such a great point that you bring up

250
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 4: because it's true. I literally, with all the you know,

251
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: screaming and yelling going on, and there's champagne everywhere, I

252
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: found this little room adjacent to the locker room, and

253
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: it was so weird. It's like somebody put it in there.

254
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 4: It was a chair and one faint light bulb that

255
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 4: was on. It was a very small room. I don't

256
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 4: know what it was for, but I went in and

257
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 4: I took my uniform off for I wanted to keep

258
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: it for posterity. I put it in a bag and

259
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 4: I literally, with all that going on, maybe ten feet away,

260
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: I literally could have gone to sleep in that room.

261
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: I was so drained mentally, physically, absolutely done. And what

262
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: happens is you let your defenses down. Finally, you let

263
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: your defensive defenses down, and that's when you get tired

264
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: and and and believe me, after the season was over,

265
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: I went up to my mom's up here in Sacramento,

266
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: and my mom cooked and I slept and slept and

267
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: she cooked and cooked and I didn't even get on

268
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: the phone hardly at all. And it was the best

269
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 4: rejuvenation period because after it's all over, you talk about

270
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: you're tired. Then, Yeah, many guys were sick with the flu.

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 4: It spread throughout our team. It was all over on

272
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 4: the on the parade, and it was it was pretty thick.

273
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: But that Yeah, when the season's over, there's a time

274
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 4: to recuperate. And after that last game, when it was

275
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: Game five and it was over, we're world champions, man,

276
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: I was, which just absolutely drained. But not during the season.

277
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: It's amazing how you're able to fend off, Yeah, that fatigue,

278
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 4: and you know, you got to be strong mentally, and I,

279
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know if that's what it was

280
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: with me or not, but when the season was over,

281
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 4: I was really drained.

282
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 2: What about being on the winning side of last night's

283
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: eighteen inning marathon game and being on the losing side

284
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: of that game. Take us into the mind Steve Sacks

285
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: here on SAX and Kate's and am here on a

286
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: FI seventy. Take us into the mind of a player

287
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 2: last night on the winning side and the losing side,

288
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: and having to wake up this morning. You're probably still sleeping,

289
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: but wake up and gaving to go back to the

290
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: ballpark this afternoon, sixteen hours later, a first pitch and

291
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 2: you have to get ready for a game four one side,

292
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: I imagine you're probably feeling a little bit better than

293
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: the other side going to the ballpark.

294
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: Well, I can equate these guys both on the same

295
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 4: path because throughout most of the game, I can tell

296
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: you on either side, both of these two players, whoever

297
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: they may be, you want to pick one out on

298
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 4: each side, both of them are believing in their hearts,

299
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: in their spirit, in everything about their every fiber of

300
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: their being. They believe they're going to win that game.

301
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 4: So they're going along the same path until the very end.

302
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: And at the very end, when one walks over to

303
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: the Dodger dug out, the other one walks over to

304
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: the Toronto dugout. It's a completely complete divergence of the paths.

305
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 2: That's when they go.

306
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 4: They're complete separate ways. It's a one ad if you will,

307
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: however you want to describe it. The Dodgers are complete jubilation.

308
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 4: They're related. You heard it from Dave Roberts talking. The

309
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: guys were cheering to every word. On the other side

310
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: in Toronto, these guys are deflated. They're trying to pick

311
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: each other up. But this is a real heavy, heavy

312
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: point in a big testing ground for that Toronto team.

313
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: These guys are going to be tested. I mentioned it already,

314
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 4: Tim when they come into this game tonight, there's going

315
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: to be a huge test. If showteble Tony goes out

316
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 4: there and shoving for the first couple three innings, this

317
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 4: team might be buried. And every every man has a

318
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: breaking point. You know the thing that does it is

319
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 4: when you break their spirit. When you break their spirit.

320
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: You see it in boxers when they get to a

321
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: certain point of the fight, when they get their spirit broken,

322
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: the fight's over. And we're gonna see if the spirit

323
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: is broken with Toronto tonight.

324
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that it is.

325
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: But if shohe goes out there and shoves for a

326
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: while and the Dodgers get off to a big start.

327
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: You could see a spirit come out of these guys,

328
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: and if that happens, it's over. I hope so, and

329
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: I kind of feel like it's building towards that.

330
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 6: Now.

331
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: It just takes shoey Otani to go out there and

332
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: that maybe one more push, yeah, absolutely, one more push

333
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: to knock him over and end this thing. Was still

334
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: two wins to go for the Dodgers in this best

383
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: sure our friends that they make these hats at the

384
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 2: Crowns are working diligently to make another Freddie Freeman silhouette.

385
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 4: I like them last night. Yeah, we still haven't seen

386
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 4: the shirts. First scam. They're being worked on. They're being

387
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 4: worked on. Yeah, yeah, you know, I like hats too.

388
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: I like the flatter hats. I know, maybe we can

389
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: get one of those two.

390
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm working on the shirts, but it's

391
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 2: it takes a little while to print. And they said, hey,

392
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: we don't make the S medium. We have to order that.

393
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: So it's gonna take a little while for the S

394
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: medium shirts to come. Are you are you gonna wear mediums?

395
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 6: No?

396
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: Are you sure? Well? I don't know. It would have

397
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: fit over my arm for you. I know you're busting out.

398
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: You'd be like whole Colgan like taking them, ripping it off,

399
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: and you got like nineteen's, don't you, Tim No, No,

400
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: really don't know. You're pretty stacked. Let me look at

401
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: let's see, let's see your guns there, let's put on

402
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: a gun shirt. I don't want to. Okay, I appreciate it,

403
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: but thank you. Let's go out to the phones. We're

404
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 2: gonna hear from Dave Roberts, Dodger Mancher coming up in

405
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: just a couple of minutes. At the top of the hour,

406
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: we'll check in with Kevin franzten from MLB Network Radio.

407
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 2: We'll hear from Shoeotani postgame last night. Yeah, he's got

408
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: to pitch in a game today for the Dodgers after

409
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 2: last night a couple of doubles, a couple of home runs,

410
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: walked a bunch of times. Sets at MLB record on

411
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: base nine times last night. Unbelievable. How about being a

412
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: hitter last night, Steve real Quick and having eight at bats.

413
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: How about being a Dodger hitter last night and going

414
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 2: up to the plate eight times and you look at

415
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: the bosco where it's all said and done, and you're

416
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: one for eight. Yeah, I don't like that, right. I mean,

417
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 2: you get the win, but you're looking at the box score,

418
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 2: at your locker, your logo. I was one for eight,

419
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: I was, I was one for six and struck out

420
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: four times. That's a move, did that? I was Will Smith? Okay?

421
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: But you know what he's he's been dynamite. You know,

422
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: he caught like seventeen pitchers last night, and.

423
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: It's true, he taught eighteen.

424
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 4: He got two games on one night. Yeah, and he

425
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: hit a big bomb the other day. I mean, he's

426
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 4: been very integral in this and.

427
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: He almost hit it out last night if it was

428
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: not for the marine layer out of Dodgers Stadium, which

429
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 2: it's gonna be different tonight. It's supposed to be a

430
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: little warmer here in southern California. That's a couple of

431
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: degrees warmer during the day in the afternoon. That means

432
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 2: it'll be a little warmer at night. The hot aarro'll

433
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 2: stick around for a little longer with a five o'clock start,

434
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: so we could see the baseball fly a little bit

435
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: more tonight like it did early on in the game

436
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 2: last night with Alejandro Kirk hitting that home run, showy

437
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: Otani going deep as well, So I expect the ball

438
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: to fly out of the ballpark again tonight, hopefully it's

439
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: the Dodgers hitting the home runs.

440
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: Who do you want to see kind of jump to

441
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: the forefront? I mean we kind of Otani's just been

442
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 4: We want to see him pitch well.

443
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: But on the offensive side, who you got well? So

444
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: that's a great question because you cannot expect Otani to

445
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: do what he did last time.

446
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, give it, he could have a night off,

447
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 4: but just pitch well.

448
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I just want him to deal on the mound.

449
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: That means, as you said, somebody else or somebody's else

450
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: needs to step up tonight. I'm gonna give that to

451
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Mookie Betts one for eight last night

452
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 2: with a walk. I'm also gonna I'm gonna ask Tommy

453
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: Edman to raise his game a little bit. Yeah, you know,

454
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: he had hit the ball hard a couple of times

455
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: last night, played some good defense. He had the air

456
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: I get it. That led to a couple runs scoring.

457
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: It happens. But he he also made then two other

458
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: great defensive plays.

459
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 4: Great play throwing the guy out at third hustle coming

460
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 4: off with the deflection of Freddy's glove from from Kirk.

461
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: That hit that line drive again to right like he.

462
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 4: Hits every ball to right field. Maybe they should put

463
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 4: somebody over there. Every freaking ball he hits is to

464
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: right side all the time.

465
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: It's it's amazing that that's the one thing that guy

466
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: does and he's made an insistently living out of it.

467
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: He's an All Star because of it.

468
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and so, and that was a great play

469
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: by by Tommy Edmond.

470
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: That's where we were going.

471
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 4: He gets over there, he slides on the hip in

472
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 4: the same motion throws a dart over to months he

473
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: at third base for the out.

474
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 2: And that was all fluid.

475
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 4: It was so one motion. Did I say the third

476
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 4: out at third base? Nice going kinder fleffa.

477
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: As we mentioned earlier, six six runners thrown out last

478
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: night on the bass pass six.

479
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Otani pops off the base.

480
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it.

481
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 4: Can you know he's still you know, it's it's a

482
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 4: tough one. He had the base stolen, he was safe.

483
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 2: Okay, let's quickly quickly dive into that because we were

484
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: talking last night after it happened. And that happened in

485
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 2: the bottom half of the ninth inning. Shoho Tani intentionally walked.

486
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: Mookie betches up to bat and Sho Hay takes off

487
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: and he steals second base and it slides in safely,

488
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: but his momentum carries him to the right of second

489
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: base and the tag is held on him like you're

490
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: supposed to do nowadays. And he was called out because

491
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: he came off the bag briefly. Right, Why was that

492
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: a bad slide.

493
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 4: Because he lost his momentum. I mean, that's you know,

494
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 4: it happens. But if you do a pop up slide,

495
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 4: it's all part of the slide. The rise at the

496
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: end is part of the slide. You see Trey Turner

497
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: do that so eloquently. Remember you see Trey Turner in

498
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 4: the slide. That's an exaggerated version of the pop up slide.

499
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: So when you pop up like that, you can see

500
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: the ball. You don't have dirt in your eyes. You

501
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 4: can pop up and see it where it's going. You

502
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 4: can go to the next base way faster. You're not

503
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: gonna jam a finger or a shoulder. Injuries are far less.

504
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 4: I like the pop up slide. It's been around a while,

505
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 4: and you know, I think it plays pretty well and

506
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: you don't have a chance to fall over like that

507
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: like Otani did. But but you know what it's I'm

508
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: sure I've done it too.

509
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seven. It's

510
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: go out to the phones. Thank you for being patient

Speaker 2: what in the heck happened last night? How did this

514
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: game end? Well? It ended on a walk off home

515
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: run from Freddie Freeman in the bottom half of the

516
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 2: e eighteenth, And it's go out to the phones. Eric

517

Speaker 2: on the ninety one Freeway joins us here on a

518
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,479
Speaker 2: FI seventy l A sports.

519
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 6: It's on your mind, Eric, oh man, uh, mister Sacks,

520
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 6: did I not call a week and a half ago

521
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 6: when mister Kates was all panicked out after we lost

522
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 6: to the Phillies in that game. And uh, and I said,

523
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 6: when we're healthy, the Dodgers have too much for everyone.

524
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 4: You remember this, Eric, I remember it very distinctly. I

525
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 4: remember you calling in telling him that Tim, You remember

526
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 4: Eric did that.

527
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: I don't remember panicking at all. Guys, I do not

528
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about. That doesn't sound like me.

529
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 6: You were talking about you were you were talking, you

530
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 6: were saying, you were saying, you were thinking that that

531
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 6: Yamamoto was gonna you know, he had better have his

532
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 6: that game the long Yeah, because you know the Phi

533
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 6: and so on and so forth. And I said, look, man,

534
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: when the Dodgers are healthy, they got too much for

535
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 6: And I got to tell you something. The only people

536
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 6: who were not surprised about the bullpen's performance yesterday was

537
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 6: all those guys in the bullpen and the Dodger coach staff.

538
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 6: They were not at all surprised that those guys came

539
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 6: up the way it did. I'm gonna tell you what,

540
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 6: No trying and Trynan made pictures last night. I was,

541
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 6: I was. I was happy with his performance. I had

542
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 6: no doubts about him. But these other guys, oh my goodness,

543
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 6: they surprised all of us. And then again again, Mookie's

544
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 6: one for eight. Like you said, uh, Smith has four

545
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 6: strike up, but Tail shows up and Joe showtime shows up,

546
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 6: and Edmund shows up and you know Mickey row with

547
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 6: the with the with the perfect bunt even though we

548
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 6: didn't score on that, and his play at second base

549
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 6: off somebody hit a hot smash in that seventeenth inning

550
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 6: and he you know, scooped it up like it was

551
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 6: not like like it was just another day at the office.

552
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 6: That's what I'm talking about. They have too much for everybody, now,

553
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,239
Speaker 6: that's z. When too much doesn't show up, then it

554
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 6: it's not enough. So they got to stay focused. But

555
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 6: again I think they're dialed in, and when they are,

556
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 6: body needs hill. So that's just my thoughts.

557
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: All right, Eric, I appreciate it.

558
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: Yet, I remember I remember Eric said that.

559
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: I do remember. He said, I don't remember panicking at all.

560
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: It's not like me. I don't seem to be. You

561
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: haven't panicked like before.

562
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 4: Like I remember, sometimes you would come on and you

563
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 4: would be almost screeching, you know, you would be like

564
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 4: out of your mind. But you've been more composed this

565
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: this year. I don't know if it's because they're in

566
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 4: the World Series now, but you've been a lot more composed.

567
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 2: It's a newer, older me, Saxey, that's what it is.

568
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: I'm o mature now in my old age. By the way,

569
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: real quick, last night, when they walked off the Toronto

570
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: Blue Jays on the Freddie Freeman home run, Uh, it

571
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: didn't get shown on Fox, but if you were at

572
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium and now videos are out there of people

573
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: on their cell phones. It's kind of a cool moment

574
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: because yea, I'm Amoto remember, is warming up in the Dodgers' bullpen,

575
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 2: and his translators out there with them, and everybody starts

576
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: celebrating at you know, home plate with Freddie Freeman. Well

577
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: so did show Hey Otani and Roki Sasaki celebrate. But

578
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 2: they jumped around for a few seconds, and then the

579
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: two of them, along with Will Ironson, the translator, all

580
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: three of them made a b line down the third

581
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 2: base line and they met Yamamoto and his translator in

582
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: shallow leaf field and all of them started hugging and

583
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 2: jumping up and down, all five of them the three

584
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: players and the two translators, all Japanese guys together celebrating

585
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 2: this walk off win again, another example of a team win.

586
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: So Saki went out there and pitched, Otani did his thing,

587
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: and then Yamamoto. They didn't want to forget about him.

588
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: They didn't want to forget about Shamamoto, who was warming

589
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: up in the bullpen down there. That's great. I love it.

590
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's some togetherness, and you know that's what it like.

591
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: They said, it's gonna take every single person in that

592
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: in that bullpen. Do you remember us saying that whenmber

593
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 4: I told you about trying, Hey, there's gonna be a

594
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 4: time when you're gonna need trying, where you're gonna need dryer,

595
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 4: where you're gonna need Sihan to come up and do

596
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 4: some shoving. It's gonna come to that sometime. You remember

597
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 4: I was saying that too, Tim I do, I do?

598
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:00,880

00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 3: taking my call. Two quick ones for you. Way to

773
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: go with Kershaw. I know it was just one out

774
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 3: that was awesome. And secondly, why isn't call starting, guys,

775
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 3: I'd like to hear your take on that. I mean,

776
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 3: we all know Payez is pretty much allergic to walking

777
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 3: swinging everything in the dirt.

778
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

779
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: I know you get the defense, but I think call

780
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: is just the better option at this point guy comes in,

781
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: gets a hit, you know, on and on he makes contact,

782
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 3: he can bind plays defense. So I just thought to

783
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: ask your take on that and just love getting through

784
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 3: to you guys, with you guys all the time.

785
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: Manome Ike, appreciate that. Thanks for checking in. It's a

786
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: good point. Yeah, yeah, I mean Andy can play center field, right,

787
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: he can go get it. Yeah, he can play all

788
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 2: three spots in the outfield for you. More of a

789
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 2: corner left or right field guy, but he can go

790
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: get it. He's got the speed in center field to

791
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: go play there. Yeah. It's the bat though, right, I mean,

792
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 2: it's the threat, It's the what if. It's the he

793
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: could go deep that you always think about with Andy

794
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: Pies and I get it. He's like two for the

795
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: October right now.

796
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 4: He had a line drive caught yesterday, He's smoked one ball.

797
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: It's that threat though, right, It's that guy who's batting

798
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: ninth that could hit a home run for you. I

799
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 2: mean last night it could have been Andy Piz who

800
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: hits a home run and we're all celebrating Piez and

801
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: what a great job he did walking off the Toronto

802
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. At as it is, he is struggling, and

803
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 2: it's a real struggle right now.

804
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 4: For Yeah, it's yeah, he's he's uh, he's swinging awfully

805
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 4: hard up there. You know, I don't know if that's

806
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 4: his you know, I don't know if that's what he

807
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 4: does all the time. But I've only known one guy

808
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 4: really watching him that swings out of his you know

809
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 4: what and in his really good hitter, and that was

810
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 4: Dustin PETROYA Hm. He's swung as hard as he could

811
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 4: every single time and hit lasers all the time. Usually

812
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: don't see guys that swing really hard that make good contact,

813
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 4: but he did.

814
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you think of Alex call On

815
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 2: offense and what he provides in the ninth spot. He's

816
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 2: not a threat to launch, he's not a threat to

817
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 2: hit all home run. He's certainly a threat with his speed.

818
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 2: He's kind of Toronto like absolutely, you know what, one

819
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: hundred percent. If he were on the Blue Jays, he'd

820
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: fit into a t with what they do in their

821
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,320
Speaker 2: style of baseball. On this Dodgers team, he's the bunt guy.

822
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: He's the move the guy over hit to the right side.

823
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: Last night, he came up in a situation where all

824
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 2: they needed him to do was dry the ball and

825
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 2: hit it out of the infield and he flew out

826
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 2: into the you know, popped it up. So again I

827
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: go back to pat his defense. Sometimes you get really

828
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: good defense, sometimes you get really bad defense. And a

829
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: lot of times you know, he makes a play and

830
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: you're like, Wow, that's the arm we all know he has,

831
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: and that's the defense we know he can he can provide.

832
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: So at this point in.

833
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 4: His career, you'd say he's he's more of a tools guy.

834
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 4: I guess, so not refined, but a lot of tools,

835
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 4: one hundred percent, not refined at all.

836
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 2: And still young. I think he's what twenty four years old,

837
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: still before so he's got so much room to grow

838
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: as a baseball player. And I keep hearing the same

839
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: comment from people, Well, you know, there's not another series

840
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 2: for him to get right. This isn't July where he's

841
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 2: got time to figure it out. The time is now,

842
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: and if he can't figure it out by now, then

843
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: it's time to move on to something else.

844
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did twenty seven Jackson in the year right

845
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 4: that next.

846
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 2: I mean, there's that threat, there's always that he can

847
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: hit it out. He could do it if he's you know,

848
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 2: if he connects, if he squares one up, man, he's

849
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 2: gonna hit it a long way mm hmm. Yeah.

850
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 4: But I mean it's just uh, and you see every

851
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: time he swings, he's you know, he's got that momentum

852
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 4: going into the other box.

853
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: He's got a little out balanced. He swings hard, he

854
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: swings really hard. He swings out of his shoes. Yes,

855
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: as they said, right shoes, right as Tony on the

856
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: message board, rights Alex call, is that quote work the picture?

857
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,839
