After 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: Blake Snell pitches the Dodgers to a game one win 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 2: in the NLCS, Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vasse with 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: you until ten o'clock tonight here on AM five to 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: seventy LA Sports. As the Dodgers, behind a dominant performers 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: from Blake Snell, beat Milwaukee two to one, and Snell 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: faced the minimum amount of batters in his eight shutout innings. 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: Remarkable. 21 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: We just got that stat from optastats that he became 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: the first pitcher in baseball since Don Larsen pitched his 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: perfect game in the nineteen fifty six World Series to 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 2: face the minimum amount of batters through eight innings of 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: a postseason game, and the reason why he faced the 26 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: minimum number of batters despite giving up one hit was 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: because he picked off Caleb Durbin trying to steal in 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: the third inning for the second out, then came back 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: and got Joey Ortiz to ground out to end the 30 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: inning and the Dodgers hold on for a two to 31 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: one win in Game one of the NLCS. The Dodgers 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: are just three wins away from returning to the World Series. 33 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: Eight six six two five seventy is the phone number 34 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: we will hear from Dave Roberts, we will hear from 35 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: Blake Trining, and we will hear from Freddie Freeman, who 36 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: hit his first postseason home run tonight in the sixth 37 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: inning to break a scoreless tie. I thought, obviously Snell 38 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: was fantastic. You could pick any one of the innings 39 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: that stood out to you the most the fourth inning 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: where he got Churio and Yelich got Cheerio looking and 41 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 2: then struck out Yelich. Yelich has no chance against Blake. Snell, 42 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 2: by the way, knew that coming in, and that was 43 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 2: evident by the results tonight. As far as what I 44 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: thought was the biggest inning, it was that fourth inning 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: because after the Dodgers had a comedy of base running 46 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: mistakes on the ball that Salfrellick caught from Max Munsey 47 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 2: actually didn't catch, Taascar Hernandez was thrown out at the 48 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: plate force play, and then also Will Smith unwisely went 49 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: back to second base despite the left field umpire Chad 50 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: Fairchild calling it a ball in play. The Dodgers should 51 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: have remembered what took place earlier this season at City Field, 52 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 2: because it was a similar play. The ball goes off 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: the glove, it's in play, it's not a catch, and 54 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: same thing here. Sal Frelick rob Max Mounsey what would 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: have been a grand slam, but the ball came out 56 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: of his glove and came back into play. The Dodgers 57 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: have got to know that Tiascar Hernandez has got to 58 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: go back to third base. So after the inning ends, 59 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: when the Dodgers thought they may have had a big 60 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: inning against Quinn Priester, the momentum is on the Brewer's side, 61 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: but Blake Snell got it back immediately by retiring the 62 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: brewers in order in that fourth inning, getting Cheerio looking 63 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: striking out Yelich and then a comebacker from William coom 64 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: Treis and Snell did a good job of fielding his position. 65 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman made an even better scoop on the other end. 66 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: It was in the dirt, and that could have got 67 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: this crowd back into it. But after everything that unfolded 68 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: in that top of the fourth inning, where you know, 69 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: things went really sideways on the Dodgers and it was 70 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,559 Speaker 2: still a scoreless tie, Blake Snell went back out there 71 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: like nothing ever happened. And that's why you need a veteran, 72 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 2: That's why you need a two time Cy Young Award 73 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: winner on your side, where things like that don't rattle, 74 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: you don't get in your mind. You're just worried about 75 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: getting the next hitter out, and that's exactly what he did. 76 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: So to me, that fourth inning was the biggest of 77 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: the eight that Blake Snell pitched. Tonight eight six six 78 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. We will 79 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: get more postgame reaction, but we do have a full 80 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: board of calls, so you know, I'll just say this 81 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: before we go out to the calls. 82 00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: Many of you you know. 83 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: I understand you want to take shots and say I 84 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: suck up to Snell. I've been sucking up to Snell 85 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: for the last two or three years. But here's something 86 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: to keep in mind. I don't advocate for a player 87 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: unless I believe in them. I believed in Blake Snell. 88 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: I believed he could have helped the Dodgers last year. 89 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: He's one of the best pitchers in baseball in the 90 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 2: last five or six years, only one of seven pitchers 91 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: in baseball history to win a Cy Young in both leagues. 92 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 2: Don't act like this guy's a rookie that just showed 93 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: up out of nowhere. This guy's one of the best 94 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball. That's the reason why I advocate for him. 95 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: That's the reason why I said, just wait when he 96 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: comes back, You're gonna see Blake Snell carry the Dodgers' rotation. 97 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 2: And that's what he has done in this postseason. He's 98 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 2: allowed just three runs in his last forty innings. He 99 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 2: is one of the best pitchers in baseball. That's the 100 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: reason why I advocate for him. That's the reason why 101 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: I've been telling everybody around the Dodgers they need this 102 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: guy broadcasters, anybody that would listen. The Dodgers needed Blake 103 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: Snell and you can't argue that anymore. He pitched the 104 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: Dodgers to a win tonight against the best the team 105 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: with the best record in the National League. So say 106 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: what you want. You want to take shots at Snell, 107 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: you want to take shots at me, I'll send you 108 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 2: the apology letter as well.

In the fourth inning, 138 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: you got to know a little bit more of the 139 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: rules and understand where you're supposed to be as a 140 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: base run Taascar Hernandez needed to tag up. Even if 141 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: he thought Max Muntsey hit a grand slam, He's got 142 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: to be on the bag. And as soon as that 143 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: ball hits Felix's glove, he's got to be on the 144 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: move because even though it popped out and he caught 145 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 2: it again, it's the first time it touches the glove 146 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: that he's able to tag up.

I mean, these games are very stressful. 160 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 9: I don't know how you're doing it in the dugout 161 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 9: or wherever you're standing, but I can just imagine the 162 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 9: amount of stress that we're all going through as other fans. 163 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 9: The last thing, I'll just say, it's a good thing 164 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 9: that the Dodgers attacked or got through the Milwaukee Brewers' 165 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 9: bullpen today. They got to see a lot of good arms. 166 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 9: I think they got to see all their best arms. 167 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 9: So I think it sets up nicely for tomorrow as 168 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 9: long as they can get par Alta out by the fourth, 169 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 9: maybe third inning. 170 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they can handle Parolta tomorrow. I think 171 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: they're getting at least three or four runs off Paralta tomorrow. 172 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 2: And thank you for the phone call. Look, I'm not 173 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: asking for anybody to grovel, but just acknowledge that you 174 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: were wrong and you doubted a guy that was a 175 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 2: two time cy Young Award winner. There's a reason why 176 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: Andrew Friedman signed him to that contract even though he's 177 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: thirty two years old. That change up is a difference maker. 178 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: Nobody can hit it. And this guy is committed. 179 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: You heard him after the game, You have heard him 180 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 2: in the past starts. This guy's all in. He's very committed. 181 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: He has a lot to prove. He's pitching with a 182 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder because people have not given him 183 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: his due and have doubted him. And that's a good 184 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 2: thing for the Dodgers. But he's channeling it in the 185 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: right way. And look, that is what it comes down to, 186 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: Blake Snell versus Max Freed. Max Freed had a better 187 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: regular season, but this is when it counts the most. 188 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 2: And I'm not going to name players, but the Yankee 189 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: game when they were playing in the first round before 190 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: they were knocked out, Max Freed was pitching, and I said, yeah, 191 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: you know, Max Freed had a really good year, maybe 192 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: his best year. And the two or three Dodger veterans 193 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: around me when I said that, they both said, we 194 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: still rather have Blake Snell. So that says enough. Let's 195 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: go out to Texas. 196 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: Ross. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing Ross? 197 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 5: I'm doing good, Dave. I just got a couple things 198 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 5: to say here. 199 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 10: If you love baseball, this was a great game to watch, 200 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 10: But if you love Dodger baseball. 201 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 5: This was amazing. 202 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 10: I'm gonna have to disagree with the previous coller. I 203 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 10: think our hitting was doing pretty good. I mean we 204 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 10: were making the Brewers make good plays, and when they 205 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 10: made good plays, I mean, Blake's now came out and 206 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 10: threw an amazing game. That game could have gotten out 207 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 10: of hand, but Blake just shut it down. He pitched 208 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 10: the best game I've seen since he pitched in Game six. 209 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 5: Of twenty twenty, and I just we got to get 210 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 5: props to him. 211 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 11: And I think we hit well too. 212 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. At some point you got to 213 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 2: give the other team some credit. You're right, the Phillies 214 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: made outstanding defensive plays in Game four and tonight so 215 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: did the Brewers. Or that fourth inning is a three run, 216 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: four run inning against Quinn Priester if Frelick doesn't keep 217 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: it in the ballpark, and unfortunately for the Dodgers, they 218 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 2: came up with the zero. But you're right, and I 219 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: like what I saw from Ote in his first at 220 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: bat of the game. He did not chase like he 221 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: has been chasing in the previous series. 222 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: So that's a good thing. 223 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 2: Thank you for the phone call, Ross, and I feel 224 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: like we all have really focused on Otani. Freddie Freeman 225 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: didn't do a lot against those Phillies pitchers. I thought 226 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 2: he had the biggest walk of the NLDS, a two 227 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: out walk to set up Key k Hernandez in Game one, 228 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 2: his two out, two run double. Without Freddy's two out walk, 229 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: that inning doesn't materialize. So he's doing things to help 230 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: the Dodgers win. His defense has been amazing, but this series, 231 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: I feel like this is a good matchup for Freddy 232 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: and he'll do what he did tonight and get it 233 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: going offensively. Eight six six nine eight seven two five 234 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. Speaking of Freddie Freeman, he 235 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: was in the interview room. Let's head downstairs to hear 236 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: from the Dodgers World Series MVP. 237 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 12: Freddie, You've been fortunate to play in so many postseason games. 238 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 12: If this wasn't the most dominating pitching performance. 239 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 13: What was? 240 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 14: I mean? 241 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 15: I can't think of one enough at the top of 242 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 15: my head. That was just so good from the start. 243 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 15: You know, sometimes it'll take an ending or two for 244 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 15: someone to settle in, and it was from the get go. 245 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 15: Just what he can do with the change u against 246 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 15: right handed hitters. I think that's from eighty two to 247 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 15: eighty eight. You can throttle it whenever he wants. It's 248 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 15: not just one pitch he's thrown. It's like a three 249 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 15: different pitches when you throw at three different speeds for hitters, 250 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 15: and then when you think you're gonna sit on something, 251 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 15: here comes ninety six nineys. 252 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 13: It was just it was a masterpiece. 253 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 14: Tonight, Russell, Freddy, you have about twenty five abs against Blake, 254 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 14: so you kind of touched on a little bit. What 255 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 14: isn't it bat like against especially left on left. 256 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 15: I think I talk about gray hair a lot, and 257 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 15: that's that's where some of them come. When you face 258 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 15: guys like him and Jacob de Gram and those kind 259 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 15: of pictures, you know when the minute you wake up, 260 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 15: it's gonna be a battle that night. And when you 261 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 15: face a power picture that can locate three plus pitches, 262 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 15: you know it's gonna be tough. 263 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 13: And that's the thing. 264 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 15: It's like, just like you mentioned earlier, it's how he 265 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 15: pitched the night is not probably going how he pitches 266 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 15: the next time. And so it's hard to scout. It's 267 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 15: hard to feel good against someone. You might have success 268 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 15: in one game and it'll be completely thrown out the 269 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 15: door and you're gonna strike out three times. And I've 270 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 15: done it, you know, And it's just he knows what 271 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 15: he's doing on the mound. I am so happy that 272 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 15: we are sitting next to each other now and doing 273 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 15: press conferences together and not having to be a part 274 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 15: and walking by each other and talking about how he 275 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 15: beat us again, because he did it a lot and 276 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 15: he's amazing. There's a reason he's a two times Young 277 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 15: Ward winner. He's on the biggest stage now and he's 278 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 15: just doing what he's always done. 279 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 13: Anthony's second round them back to Bill. 280 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 16: Freddy. This probably goes without saying to a certain extent, 281 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 16: but especially given the way this game got late, how 282 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 16: important was it just to get this one and escape 283 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 16: here with a win and you know, sort of establish 284 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 16: yourselves now as the favorite. 285 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 13: In this series. I mean, we knew coming into the series. 286 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 15: They play great defense, they pitch, they just they get 287 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 15: the big hits when they need to. 288 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 13: That's just who the Brewers are. 289 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 15: It's gonna be a tough series from the beginning, and 290 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 15: you saw it tonight. Every ball we seem to hit, 291 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 15: they caught it. And they pitched great, and we knew 292 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 15: from the bat from the get go is gonna be battling. 293 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 15: And when you get one for Blake, you're feeling good, 294 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 15: but you always want to get more. We had some 295 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 15: opportunities we didn't get it, but that running the top 296 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 15: of the ninth was huge obviously twenty twenty hindsight, but 297 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 15: getting on the road in an environment and taking the 298 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 15: first one, it's huge. It's you can't understate that at all, 299 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 15: just kind of how we did it in Philly, and 300 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 15: to get the first one and you turn it over 301 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 15: to Yoshie tomorrow. We obviously feeling pretty good, so hopefully 302 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 15: we can score some more runs tomorrow. 303 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 13: It's up to the fifth throw on the left side. Breddy, 304 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 13: It's not just Blake. 305 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 17: You've guys gotten good starting pitching throughout this postseason. You 306 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 17: got guys going six seven innings pretty much every outing. 307 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 17: How comforting is that just knowing that you don't have 308 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 17: to do what the Brewers did the night and you know, 309 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 17: throw six different guys out there. 310 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. 311 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 15: I think people that cover us, you know every day. 312 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 15: I think we've been saying it for about a month 313 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 15: now going into the postseason. Our starting pitching is what 314 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 15: has made this US played better going into October. 315 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 13: We always were talking about how we're. 316 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 15: Playing our best baseball leading up to this postseason, and 317 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 15: it started with our pitching staff. It seems there is 318 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 15: a stretch there. It felt like six seven no hit innings. 319 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 15: Every single guy was doing that. And when you as 320 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 15: an offense you have those guys taking the ball every 321 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 15: day and doing that and giving us a chance to win. 322 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 15: As an offense, you just want to do everything you 323 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 15: can to support them, and you do feel confident when 324 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 15: you're not scoring runs at the beginning of the game, 325 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 15: because you know our starting pitcher is going to keep 326 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 15: us in that and you know with our offense we're 327 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 15: going to find a way and scrap. 328 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 13: And do anything we can. 329 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 15: I mean, it was a little different tonight, but these 330 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 15: are the games you need to win, the close ones 331 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 15: in the postseason because you're not going to have these 332 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 15: massive blowouts and usually and that you'll find one here 333 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 15: and there, but you got to win these close games. 334 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 15: And our starting pitching for the last time, I would say, 335 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 15: I mean, you guys would know more seven eight weeks 336 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 15: has been and I mean, I don't know if you 337 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 15: can write enough words in your stories about our starting pitching. 338 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 15: It really has been amazing, and they seem to feed 339 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 15: off each other, and as an offense, we're just trying 340 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 15: to do everything we can to support. 341 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: All Right, there's Freddy Freeman certainly singing the praises the 342 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 2: Blake Snell and the Dodgers starters. They have had the 343 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: best dlra in baseball as a group since the beginning 344 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: of September and that has continued in the postseason, led 345 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: by Blake Snell, who was marvelous tonight, eight shutout innings 346 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 2: with ten strikeouts, allowed just one hit, and pitch the 347 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: Dodgers to a two to one win in Game one 348 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: of the NLCS over the Brewers. And I agree with Freddy, 349 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: you can't take this for granted. Winning game one of 350 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: the series on the road again. The Dodgers did that 351 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 2: against the Phillies, and now they have a chance with 352 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: Yamamoto on the mount tomorrow night against Freddie Peralta, to 353 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: do what they did against the Phillies and win the 354 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: first two games on the road. That would be huge, 355 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 2: especially since in the best of seven format it's two 356 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 2: three two, so they will have three home games at 357 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium already, they have a great chance of closing 358 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: it out at Dodger Stadium having three home games they 359 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 2: win tomorrow, they are in the driver's seat against a 360 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: team that cannot slug with the Dodgers, and it was 361 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: apparent they can't pitch with the Dodgers either. Their defense 362 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 2: saves their pitching, that's for sure. Let's go out to 363 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: Sherman Oaks. Eric, you're on Dodger Talk with David Vasse. 364 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: Hi. 365 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 5: Eric, Hey, how you doing. David vasse good to hear you. 366 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 5: Just you know, you know Blake Snell wears the size 367 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 5: thirteen shoe and every time he steps on the mound 368 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 5: he acts like that. You know what I mean, big 369 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 5: shoe energy. I love to see it out of Blake 370 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 5: SNeW the night he's coming through again. I never had 371 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 5: a doubt when we signed him in the offseason. I 372 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 5: never had a doubt. Two times Young Award winner in 373 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 5: both leagues. Come on, come on, eight shutout innings, that's huge. 374 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 5: I love the guy. He's a He's a Dodger legend already. 375 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: All right, Eric, thank you for the phone call. 376 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: I feel like Blake Snell's signature moment with the dodgers 377 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: was when he pitched those seven innings against the Phillies 378 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: and fought to stay in to get the final out 379 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: of that seventh inning. And I feel like now Dodger 380 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 2: fans have really embraced Blake Snell as one of theirs 381 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 2: with the way he's pitched in the postseason. 382 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: And that's how you do it. 383 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: That's how you build credit with a new fan base, 384 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: and he certainly is. He's a big part of the Dodgers' 385 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 2: run to the World Series, and if they win it, 386 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 2: he will be a huge part of that as well, 387 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: and that's what he wants. That's the reason why he 388 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 2: signed here. He has said it repeatedly. He wanted to 389 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: challenge himself to be able to be this guy in 390 00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 2: the postseason for the Dodgers, and so far he he 391 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: has met those challenges. Eight six six nine, eight seven 392 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Blake's now ten 393 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: strikeouts in eight shutout innings helps the Dodgers beat the 394 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: Brewers tonight two to one in Game one of the NLCS. 395 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 2: Let's go out to Rosemead JP. You're on Dodger Talk 396 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 2: Live from Milwaukee. 397 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 5: Hi, JP, Hey, what's up, Dave? 398 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 18: How you doing? 399 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 4: Man? 400 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 11: Hey? 401 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: Couldn't be better? And you know, just feeling good about 402 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 2: Blake Snell. I knew he he could do this. He 403 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: has done it, and I believe he's got more in 404 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: the tank. And hopefully Dodger fans are appreciating what they're 405 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: seeing now. 406 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 18: Absolutely. And here's the thing. Do you remember a couple 407 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 18: of years ago when they put him on on the Originals, 408 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 18: when he was showing his shoe collection and all that. 409 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 18: I knew Blake Snell was going to be a Dodger. 410 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 18: Then he was with the San Diego Padres, and you know, 411 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 18: I crenched every time we played him against the Padres. 412 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 18: But when I saw that episode, I knew he was 413 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 18: going to be a Dodger. And I'm so grateful that 414 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 18: he's on our site now. And man, what a performance 415 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 18: he did tonight. 416 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was amazing. And look, he's a fun loving guy. 417 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: In some ways, he's a big kid. He reminds me 418 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 2: of when I used to cover Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq was 419 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 2: a big kid off the court and sometimes on the court, 420 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: but when it came down to business, he was locked in. 421 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: And same with Blake and last night at the workout, 422 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 2: usually Blake will come over and talk to me, but 423 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: he was locked in. He did not want to talk 424 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: last night, and that showed me where his head was at. 425 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 2: And I've really enjoyed being around him every day now 426 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: compared to just seeing him when the Dodgers played the 427 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 2: Padres or the Giants. Just to see him when he's 428 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: getting into his five day routine gives you a peek 429 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: into what makes a guy tick and how they're successful 430 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 2: every fifth day. And I've been privileged to be around 431 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: the Goat himself for the last fourteen years Clay and Kershaw, 432 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: and that's how you know when you see him on 433 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 2: the mound, what goes into it and how much he cares. 434 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's been special and I don't see anything 435 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: stopping Snell from continuing to build upon these starts. Thanks 436 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: for the phone call, JP appreciated. Eight sixty six nine 437 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Now, 438 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 2: as the eighth inning was ending, I feel like you 439 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: and I and many others were saying leave him in, 440 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: let Snell finish this game, but Dave Roberts had Roki 441 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 2: Sasaki warming up with that in mind, bringing in Sasaki 442 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: after Snell got the first twenty four outs of the game. 443 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 2: I would have led him in, left him in to 444 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 2: finish it out, but obviously Roki's been really good tonight. 445 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: It was not. 446 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: It was not the ideal Sasaki matchup because these Brewers 447 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: don't chase, and a lot of the pitches that he 448 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: was throwing were not appearing as strikes out of the hand. 449 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: They were we were looking like outside the strike zone, 450 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: and that's what gave him problems. Let's head downstairs right 451 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 2: near right now to hear from Dave Roberts to hear 452 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: what his thought process was and letting Sneill know eight 453 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: shutout innings was enough. 454 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 19: Otani and trying on two guys that you really need 455 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 19: and have been both scuffed a little bit, you know, 456 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 19: not great performances, but show hey got the three walks, 457 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 19: set up what proved to be the winning run, trying 458 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 19: did get out of that inning, did close the game out. 459 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 13: Is this moving in the right direction? Are these positive signs? Absolutely? 460 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 20: I think obviously it was a tight ball game to 461 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 20: the end. But I thought offensively we were very good tonight. 462 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 20: I thought we took good at bats all night long. 463 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 20: We put the bomb, play, didn't strike out. Obviously, there 464 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 20: are some crazy things that happened that they weathered some innings, 465 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 20: But offensively I thought we were great. I thought the 466 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 20: defense played really well, and to see Blake come in 467 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 20: and close it out was big for his confidence and 468 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 20: us going forward. Oh yeah, I thought, sure, he's at 469 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 20: batsal great tonight. 470 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 13: Babian, Yeah, Dave, what do you see from Rookie in 471 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 13: the night? 472 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 21: Thanny? 473 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 22: Do you think there might have been some carryover just 474 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 22: from going three innings in Game four of the DS there? 475 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 20: You know, I don't know he had three days off. 476 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 20: Everything I heard he felt great and there was some 477 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 20: near misses, but you know, you walk through guys, and 478 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 20: so he was just off a little bit. But I 479 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 20: thought stuff was still good, but just missing. And I 480 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 20: don't know, you know, if there was carryover from the 481 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 20: from the three innings, just kind of betting on you know, 482 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 20: how he's saying he feels, and the coaches and training staff, 483 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 20: and you know, with threes three days off, I felt good. 484 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 22: With him and with Blake obviously, see you've seen a 485 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 22: lot of good postseason pitching performances, but what do you 486 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 22: think of where do you think Blake stills outing ranks 487 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 22: among those? 488 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 13: Tonight? 489 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 20: This was This was as good as I can remember 490 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 20: in the postseason. Against a very you know, gritty team, 491 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 20: puts the ball in play, the change up was the 492 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 20: pitch of the night. His command was great, and yeah, 493 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 20: you're not going to see too many performances like that, 494 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 20: certainly in the postseason. This was this was pretty Special's go. 495 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 13: Over to the left side, Russell Doc. 496 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 14: When you're seeing the change up, you know, get so 497 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 14: much swinging miss as they're a feeling first second inning 498 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 14: where you know he has the full Marsinal working. 499 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 20: Yeah, I did, and he just has an ability to 500 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 20: kind of manipulate the change up within the change up, 501 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 20: and I thought his command, I thought, you know, his delivery. 502 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 20: He was just sort of in that zone tonight. And 503 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 20: so I saw that early on, and you know, had 504 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 20: no hesitation obviously running up through six through seven and 505 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 20: through the eighth. 506 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 13: Inning Anthony second row and then back to Bill. 507 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 16: Just what is going through your mind in the ninth 508 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 16: when you know, not that there was ever a large 509 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 16: margin in this game, but a game that was relatively 510 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 16: secure suddenly becomes not so much. 511 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 13: You know that that seem's gonna fight. They're going to 512 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 13: fight to the end. 513 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 20: We know we're up again, and you just want to, 514 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 20: you know, hope, guys make pitches, keep making pitches, and 515 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 20: you got to give credit to those guys. They took 516 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 20: the walks, they kept the line moving, and ultimately we 517 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 20: had to put the ball over the plate and blake. 518 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 20: You know, fortunately I had a good at bat versus terrain. 519 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 20: But it's not going to come easy. You know, this 520 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 20: is going to be a grind. It's going to be tough, 521 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 20: and you know, no one expects expects it. 522 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 13: To be Bill. 523 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 12: I just wonder what you saw on that kind of 524 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 12: weird double play. Did you figure it out as it 525 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 12: was going on, or it happened so fast you didn't 526 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 12: even realize what was happening. 527 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 13: It happened fast. 528 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 20: I didn't know he didn't catch it. To be quite honest, 529 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 20: we go over that rule tail nose the rule. I 530 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 20: think right there he just had a little bit of 531 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 20: a brain fart, appreciating that when it does hit the glove, 532 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 20: it's going to you can tag there. But then he 533 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 20: tagged it correctly. 534 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 13: Then saw you know, he. 535 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 20: Didn't actually didn't went back and that was the mistake. 536 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 20: But he owned it, and you know, after that, there's 537 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 20: nothing else you can do about it. 538 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 22: Fabian, it seemed like even after they reviewed it, you 539 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 22: sort of went out for an explanation. What sort of 540 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 22: were you looking to get from the umpires? There was 541 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 22: it just about who relaid what to wear in terms 542 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 22: of like THEA. 543 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 20: I just wanted clarity, Honestly, I didn't know that they 544 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 20: ruled it a no catch, So I just wanted clarity 545 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 20: on the whole situation and then kind of making sure 546 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 20: that they got a couple forceouts, which they did, and 547 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 20: ultimately those guys and replaying the guys on the field 548 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 20: got it right. 549 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: They nailed it all right. There's Dave Roberts in the 550 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: interview room. 551 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: I guess nobody else was thinking along with us on 552 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 2: why he took out Blake's now after one hundred and 553 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 2: three pitches, eh shutout innings, facing the minimum number of 554 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: batters and going to face the bottom third of the order. 555 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: Look, it's a question to be asked. 556 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: I just want to know what was going through his 557 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: mind or did he have his mind set on Sasaki 558 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: closing out the ninth inning no matter what was happening. 559 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: I feel like that's a fair question to ask. It 560 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: worked out. 561 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: The Dodgers held on for the two to one win, 562 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: but it was a little bit higher stress than what 563 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 2: many of us thought Blake Snell would have handled in 564 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 2: the ninth inning. But obviously Dave Roberts knows more about 565 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 2: his picture and what's going on with him, and what 566 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: the Dodgers' plans are for later in this series if 567 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: it goes longer, and what may be ahead for Blake 568 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: Snell in the World Series. If the Dodgers can get 569 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 2: three more wins eight six, six, nine, eight seven, two five, 570 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number David Vase live at American 571 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: Family Field in Milwaukee. After Blake Snell pitches the Dodgers 572 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: to a game one win, and I guess everybody that 573 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 2: wants to say, yeah, yeah, but he only goes five 574 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: innings or yeah, yeah, he only goes six innings, Well, 575 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: tonight he went eight eight shutout and he probably could 576 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: have finished this game. So that's a moot point as well, 577 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 2: and has been since that seven inning dominant performance where 578 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 2: he fought to stay in for the final out of 579 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 2: that seventh inning back in September against the Phillies. Let's 580 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 2: go out to West Lake Village.

Yeah, 624 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: a little bit different at West Hills Baseball than it 625 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 2: is in Game one of the NLCS in a major 626 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: league Ballpark's I mean, come on, you can't even compare it. 627 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 2: What am I supposed to say there? West Hill's baseball, 628 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 2: Little League baseball compared to the Game one of the 629 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: NLCS with fifty thousand fans in a stadium and you 630 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 2: have a major league player that should know to tag, well, 631 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 2: dino Ebel was telling him to do that, and pre 632 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: pitch is what dino Ebol is so good at. With 633 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: that runner at third base, what kind of went sideways? 634 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 2: Is Will Smith running back to second? He had to 635 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 2: come to third. If anybody looks at the at the 636 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: left field umpire Chad Fairchild, then things are a little 637 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 2: bit easier. But I don't Dave Roberts just said ta 638 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez had a brain fart. He did, and you 639 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: know that created the havoc and miscommunication with Will Smith 640 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 2: going back to second base.

Uh, maybe the best pitched game by 683 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 2: any pitcher in the postseason this year. He goes eight 684 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: shutout innings, strikes out ten, and faces the minimum number 685 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 2: of batters because he did pick off Caleb Durbin in 686 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: the third inning after he led off that inning with 687 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 2: a single, and Blakesnell becomes the first pitcher in postseason 688 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 2: history with multiple outings of six or more innings and 689 00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 2: one or no hits allowed in a single postseason. He 690 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: joined Zach Wheeler, Max Scherzer, and Anna ball Sanchez. How 691 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 2: about that in doing so, and those guys did it 692 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 2: twice in their postseason careers. So Blake Snell is having 693 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 2: the postseason the Dodgers needed, the postseason of his life, 694 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 2: and he wants more. We had a chance to catch 695 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 2: up with snail Zilla. Moments after the final out, Blake, 696 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 2: how did it feel last night to deliver in such 697 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 2: a tight game? 698 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 25: I mean, it feels good. We got we got one win, 699 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 25: especially here. I mean, this crowd is amazing. It was 700 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 25: a lot of fun to pitch in front of. So 701 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 25: I'm to be able to get this one is amazing. 702 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 25: That team it's a tough team, so I mean, yeah, I. 703 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: Did really good. 704 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 25: They're tough, they put together good at bats. They kept 705 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 25: me up all night trying to figure out, you know, 706 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 25: how do I want to attack, when do I want 707 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 25: to change? 708 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: Stuff like that. 709 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 25: So very excited that we were able to get this one, 710 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 25: and then, you know, look forward to tomorrow. 711 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 2: When I saw you yesterday, you were already having your 712 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 2: game phase on. 713 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: It seemed like this was different for you. 714 00:35:59,320 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 13: Yeah. 715 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 25: I mean my whole life I've dreamt at this moment 716 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 25: and to be able to go, Hey, it was probably 717 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 25: the best part for me because I've always the seventh 718 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 25: was pretty special. I've always wanted to be out there 719 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 25: for God bless America, So to be able to be 720 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 25: out there for that was special for me. You know, 721 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 25: I always want more for you. Did you want more 722 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 25: for yourself? Did you ever think about pushing back on 723 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 25: Dave taking you out there? Not trust him? He knows 724 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 25: how bad I want it, But he's the manager of 725 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 25: the sist team, so we're gonna trust him and keep going. 726 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 2: Hey, the Dodgers will trust Blake Snell snail Zilla delivering 727 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: stacking those chips. 728 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 25: Come on. 729 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 2: There, he is Blake Snell. Hey, you gotta love that. 730 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 2: He wanted to go deeper into games. He wanted to 731 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 2: be standing out there for God bless America. He did, 732 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 2: and he got more eight shutout innings, and he becomes 733 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 2: the first Dodger pitcher to pitch eight innings in a 734 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 2: postseason game since Clayton Kershaw. The goat twenty twenty Wildcard 735 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 2: Series Game two against these Brewers. The Dodgers clinched the series, 736 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,280 Speaker 2: sweeping Milwaukee. 737 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: With the three nothing wins. So I'll let snail Zilla 738 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: know about that. 739 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 2: He loves to be mentioned in the same sentence as 740 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw. Eight six six nine eight seven, two five 741 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Redondo Beach. Steve, 742 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk Live from Milwaukee. 743 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 11: How you doing, Hey, Thanks Dave for having me on. 744 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 11: I was looking for the right word about Blake's performance tonight, 745 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 11: and Freddy said it in his clip. It was a 746 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 11: magnificent performance. I was even there for Kershaw when he 747 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 11: had a fifteen strikeout game no hitter. But this is 748 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 11: a championship series, so it's a whole other level. But 749 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,840 Speaker 11: I know hindsight's twenty twenty, but I feel so strongly 750 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 11: he should have been left in to pitch the ninth. 751 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 11: And I know we ended up on the right side 752 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 11: of that stuff, but at this level, it seems like 753 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 11: every decision needs to be based on what gives us 754 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 11: the best opportunity to win. And I know where you stand, 755 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,479 Speaker 11: so I guess I'll now pose this question to Dave 756 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 11: and all the naysayers out there. I wanted to take 757 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 11: it to a philosophical level. There was an ancient sage 758 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 11: named Helll the Elder who said, if not now, then 759 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 11: when when does it get any more opportune to let 760 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,919 Speaker 11: a guy who's obviously in a zone of perfection get 761 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 11: that complete game? Because I think he was there and 762 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,319 Speaker 11: there was absolutely no reason to bring Sasaki in. 763 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: You're not alone. You're not alone in that line of thinking, Steve. 764 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 2: I think in today's baseball everybody gets so caught up 765 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 2: in the number of pitches and just thinking your way 766 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 2: out of what is happening right in front of you 767 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 2: and Roki Sasaki. I'm sure gave Dave Roberts the confidence 768 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 2: to be able to take Snell out after EH shutout, 769 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 2: But I agree with you, why not just let him 770 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 2: get the CG right there. Things were going really smoothly 771 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 2: for him. And the last Dodger to have a complete 772 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 2: game was Jose Lima in the postseason, the NLDS Game 773 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 2: three against the Cardinals. So that's how long it's been 774 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 2: since two thousand and four, over twenty years, Steve. And 775 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 2: look at what happened in the Blue Jays game yesterday. 776 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,320 Speaker 2: For whatever reason, the manager there, John Schneider, took Gosman 777 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 2: out after six innings and seventy six pitches. That was 778 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 2: ridiculous too. So I don't know what was going on 779 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: and what Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor were seeing, but 780 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 2: obviously they felt like eight innings was enough. 781 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: But it's risky. 782 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 2: Let's be honest, it's risky with that bullpen, no matter 783 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 2: if it's six outs, three outs, nine outs, it's risky. 784 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 11: Agreed. Yeah, you got to ride the rings that seems 785 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 11: to be taken into the shore. And at that point 786 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 11: it probably was smell no. 787 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 2: Doubt, Steve, I'm with you. But luckily the Dodgers held on. 788 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki was able to get two outs and then 789 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the velocity started to dip. 790 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: Not sure what was happening with him. 791 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 2: Maybe a little self doubt because the Brewers were not 792 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: chasing his pitches. They're not a team that's going to 793 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 2: chase And maybe this is not the best match for 794 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 2: Roki Sazaki, But I'm I think the biggest thing for 795 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 2: Rokie is that he wasn't close to the strike zone 796 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 2: when things started to unravel on him. And luckily for 797 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 2: the Dodgers, a couple of breaks went their way. Jake 798 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: Bowers ground rule, double the center field if that ball's 799 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 2: in play and not over the wall, all of a sudden, 800 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 2: it's a tie game. Bryce terrang Blake Trenton almost hit 801 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 2: him and he got out of the way unwisely. Some 802 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 2: old school or just baseball guys would have said, just 803 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 2: stand in there, let it hit you. 804 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: Instead, he got. 805 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 2: Out of the way unwisely and he struck out to 806 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 2: end the game. So those were a couple of interesting 807 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 2: things that took place in the ninth inning to allow 808 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,080 Speaker 2: the Dodgers to hold on for this two to one win. 809 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 2: Speaking up, Blake Trning, let's head downstairs to the Dodger 810 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 2: clubhouse to hear from the guy that got his first 811 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 2: save this postseason. 812 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 8: Well prayer first, you know, it's just Rookie's been so 813 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 8: great for us and to have an opportunity to pick 814 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,800 Speaker 8: him up. Just think God for the opportunity and trusting 815 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 8: the talent he's given me in a in a stage 816 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 8: like that, and then just you know, trying to execute 817 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 8: that team's very well prepared. I feel like I made 818 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 8: some really good pitches against Wilson Contrarass's brother William Jimi Hee. 819 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 8: Uh yeah, and he you know, made he hit a 820 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 8: great at bat and thankfully got trying to swing. So 821 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,760 Speaker 8: uh yeah, it's great win. Smell through amazing. Our offense 822 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 8: did a great job grinding out some at bats and 823 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 8: pushing across the runs that we needed. So just a 824 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 8: good team win. 825 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 26: Meeting before that strike out, after the walk, what was 826 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 26: kind of shared with you as to what you all 827 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,360 Speaker 26: were looking to achieve? 828 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 8: You know what Mark came out. I mean just kind 829 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 8: of you know what we're looking to do, Maybe a 830 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 8: couple of back and forth about what pitch selection so 831 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:48,879 Speaker 8: and it worked out well. 832 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 6: So when made you get the call for like going 833 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 6: to the mond like the goal? 834 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 8: Ye honestly, I don't know, is uh maybe after the 835 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 8: third batter, I just told me to be ready for contrast, 836 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 8: time to well up. 837 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 26: Yeah, yea, you know, a very relentless team. Pitching in 838 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 26: the postseason is also a different level of intensity. What 839 00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 26: makes them so hard to navigate and game plan against. 840 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,840 Speaker 8: I think they're just well prepared, well coached. They're they're there, 841 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 8: they know what they're good at, and they don't come 842 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 8: outside of that lane. So just trying to keep them 843 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,240 Speaker 8: off balance because they're not a team that really strikes 844 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 8: out much. I think Blake did such a great job 845 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 8: of just pitching so differently, and his strengths right now 846 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 8: are just amazing. So his field for the zone kept 847 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 8: them off balance. And then being alrighty, I mean late 848 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 8: after they've seen left the all day, I think probably helped. 849 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 8: But they're just from top of the bottom of one 850 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 8: of those complete teams. 851 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 852 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 3: Obviously, your job description is to come into high leverage 853 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 3: situations to get that win. 854 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 14: In that situation, describe what it felt like and what 855 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:56,839 Speaker 14: it meant to get to win. 856 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 8: I mean, we have a you know, a goal in mind, 857 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,480 Speaker 8: and I just I want to do my job and 858 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 8: I want to do it well, and I'm just grateful 859 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:08,959 Speaker 8: that it worked out. 860 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: That way today. 861 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,120 Speaker 8: A little situation any less stressful because you've been a 862 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 8: number four, or is that still as nerve wracking? 863 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 13: No matter what I think. 864 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 8: At times this year when it hasn't gone well, they 865 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 8: can they can speed up a little bit in your mind. 866 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,440 Speaker 8: And I think that's the hard part as a professional 867 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 8: is trying to, you know, bury the thoughts and focus 868 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 8: on what you're good at. Today I had a lot 869 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 8: of peace, and I'm grateful to God for that. 870 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 6: Uh. 871 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 8: I believe in the power for her. So but today's fun. 872 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 8: I think We've been putting in a lot of work 873 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,640 Speaker 8: to try to get some things in a better place, 874 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 8: uh with myself, And today I thought I executed almost 875 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 8: every pitch. I just will William had a great bat 876 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 8: against me. I thought he laid out some really good 877 00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 8: pitches and forced him up on that slider and they 878 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:54,880 Speaker 8: ended up working out well to the. 879 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 2: Next that that all right. There's Blake Trining. I don't 880 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 2: think he was alone as people saying prayers during that 881 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 2: ninth inning. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five 882 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,359 Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. What I'm sure a lot 883 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,799 Speaker 2: of people were praying during that ninth inning. There is 884 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Let's go out to Julian and Southgate. 885 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Julian? Were you 886 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 2: saying prayers Julian during the ninth inning? 887 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,480 Speaker 27: Oh yeah, I pray, I pray, I pray. I play 888 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 27: every Dodger game, you know. 889 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, how many times? And what inning? 890 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 13: Oh? 891 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:28,960 Speaker 5: Three times? 892 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,279 Speaker 27: For three times for good luck? 893 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,279 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, what else you got? 894 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,760 Speaker 27: I was want to say that, you know, the players 895 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 27: that the players that we signed in Cree agency, the 896 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 27: players that we treated for they're Bill for October. Shout 897 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,279 Speaker 27: out to Padres for giving us Blake snow too, and yeah, 898 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,600 Speaker 27: these players are Bill Frock Cober like. They don't they 899 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 27: don't fan away. 900 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 2: Hey, the Padres had a chance to extend Blake snell 901 00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 2: as last year there before he became a free agent. 902 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 2: They decided to give that money to Jill Muskgrove. They 903 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 2: decided to give that money to j Croninworth. They decide 904 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 2: to give that money to you, Darvish. So in some 905 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 2: ways you're right, Julian. They let him get away, and 906 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 2: that two years later he's a Dodger, and he's a 907 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 2: Dodger for four or five more years after this season. 908 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 2: Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the 909 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:18,240 Speaker 2: phone number. 910 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,720 Speaker 1: Let's go out to Santa Monica. 911 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 2: Greg, you're on Dodger Talk Live from American Family Field. 912 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 6: Hey, I just wanted to shout out the pickoff play. 913 00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,879 Speaker 6: That sent a huge message. Honestly, Snow was so good 914 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 6: tonight you probably didn't even need it. He probably would 915 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 6: have gotten the next guy, but it. 916 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: Sends a message. 917 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 6: You know, the Brewers are advertised as kind of scrappy, 918 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 6: small ball. They'll kind of catch you off your guard. 919 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,000 Speaker 6: But the Dodgers their experienced. They not only have the 920 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 6: talent and the raw horsepower, but they also have the 921 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,279 Speaker 6: poise and the experience, and you're not gonna throw them off. 922 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,279 Speaker 6: If you're gonna get the Dodgers, you gotta play well. 923 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,839 Speaker 2: Hey, Greg, I agree with you, and that goes back 924 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,520 Speaker 2: to the poison that Blake Snell had on the mound 925 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,840 Speaker 2: all night long. He never was rattled, and I agree 926 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 2: with you, that was huge to pick off Chad Durbin. 927 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,919 Speaker 2: By the way, that's the second straight start Blake Snell 928 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 2: has picked off a runner. Remember he picked off Brandon 929 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 2: Marsh trying to steal in Game two of the NLDS, 930 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 2: and then he picks off Durbin to face the minimum 931 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 2: number of batters through eighth shutout innings. 932 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 1: So that was huge. 933 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 2: And like I said, that fourth inning, after things went 934 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,040 Speaker 2: sideways for the Dodgers on that wild play to end 935 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 2: the top of the fourth inning, the momentum really could 936 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 2: have turned into a tidal wave in the bottom half, 937 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 2: but Blake went back out there, established his fastball, did 938 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 2: not blink, struck out the first two batters, and you know, 939 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 2: the momentum was gone. So I believe what Blake Snell 940 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 2: did tonight was huge. But just his calmness and his poise, 941 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,680 Speaker 2: I think set the tone for the entire game. 942 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And you know that's going to have a 943 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 6: lasting effect. Blake Snow won't be on the mount tomorrow, 944 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 6: but you know, maybe the runners next game are going 945 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,840 Speaker 6: to be thinking twice before they seal again because the Doughters, 946 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,319 Speaker 6: you know, they know what they're trying to do. 947 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 2: Hey, the biggest thing, Greg is they didn't have any 948 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 2: base runners to try to steal outside of Durban tonight 949 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 2: so until the ninth inning. So that's a good way 950 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 2: to control the running game. Don't let them on the field, 951 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 2: don't let them on the bases. Thanks for the phone called, Greg, 952 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 2: appreciate it, and look tomorrow night. I find it hard 953 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,319 Speaker 2: to believe that Yoshi Yamamoto is going to have two 954 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 2: back to back poor starts. It's coming off one of 955 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 2: his poorest starts in over a month against the Phillies 956 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 2: in Game three. I just don't see that happening again tomorrow. 957 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 2: So the Brewers have got their hands full again against 958 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: one of the best pitchers, maybe the runner up to 959 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 2: Paul Skeins and the Cy Young race. So it doesn't 960 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,399 Speaker 2: get any easier for Milwaukee moving forward. Let's go out 961 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 2: to long be Tomah, Doug Crecoryan, Bob, you're on dodgery talk. 962 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 1: How you doing, Bob? 963 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm doing great?

Let's walk on, Connie but they messing 974 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 3: with the wrong guy because they've got Mookie Best, one 975 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 3: of the best eyes in baseball. Man be for the 976 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 3: last two or three games, what he's been winning by walks, 977 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,879 Speaker 3: you know. So my point is this, they should keep 978 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 3: Mookie Best hitting number two, which I'm sure they will 979 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 3: because he has so much great discipline. If you get 980 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 3: some of the other guys like you know, maybe Pias 981 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,240 Speaker 3: or whatever, he's a good, great player, but they be swinging. 982 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,479 Speaker 3: But this guy has a beautiful eye, and the other 983 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,520 Speaker 3: teams that's all they want to do. Okay, Old Tani 984 00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 3: was Old Tana get the Mookie? 985 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 18: What do you think about that? 986 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Pat Murphy kind of set the tone 987 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,239 Speaker 2: for the rest of the series. If first base is 988 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 2: open and there's a right handed pitcher on the mound, 989 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 2: he may be holding up the four fingers for Otani 990 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 2: and Mookie Betts has made opposing managers pay for that, 991 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 2: going back to last year when Ron Washington did it, 992 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 2: and now in back to back games he has forced 993 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 2: in a pivotal run by not chasing. So I'm with you, Bob, 994 00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,240 Speaker 2: talk about risky. That's risky with the way Mookie Betts 995 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,319 Speaker 2: is swinging the bat these days. Eight six six nine 996 00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat 997 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,880 Speaker 2: the Brewers in Game one of the NLCS two to 998 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 2: one the final score. Let's take a couple of more 999 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,920 Speaker 2: calls before we say good night. Mark and Huntington Beach. 1000 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,360 Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk Live from Milwaukee. 1001 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,720 Speaker 5: Hi, Mark, Hey David, Hey David. 1002 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 23: I was watching the game at my favorite sports barn, 1003 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 23: Honeying Beach is called my place, Bar and Girl. And 1004 00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 23: after that play in the fourth, I mean, they had 1005 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 23: a screen up on the TV showing where the oscar 1006 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 23: had actually started running in and then went back to 1007 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 23: tag like, yeah, I thought the ball was going to 1008 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 23: get by, And it's like, well, he should have just 1009 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,400 Speaker 23: stayed there. Why would he start running in thinking that 1010 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 23: he wasn't going to catch it, you know? But then 1011 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 23: the other fatal thing. I thought that no one told 1012 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,239 Speaker 23: him he slid into home. He didn't know what was 1013 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 23: a force play. I think if he had just run 1014 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 23: like hell, he would have beat the throw. 1015 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,480 Speaker 18: In just because you know, you slowed down. 1016 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,360 Speaker 23: When he hit a slide compared to running over the base. 1017 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:29,280 Speaker 5: What do you think? 1018 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, actually that's what Haesan Kim told Dodger bench coach 1019 00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,720 Speaker 2: Bob Garrin the reason why he didn't slide to score 1020 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 2: the winning run in Game four the NLDS is because 1021 00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 2: of what you just said. He knew it was a 1022 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 2: force play, so he didn't want to slow down and 1023 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,720 Speaker 2: ran through home plate. I'm a big advocate of sliding 1024 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,360 Speaker 2: at home plate mark because it's a slippery it's the 1025 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:57,319 Speaker 2: slipperiest bass or plate or surface out there. So I'm 1026 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 2: a fan of sliding feet first at home But the 1027 00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 2: biggest mistake is what you said. When he had to 1028 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 2: go back to third base, that's when things really went sideways, 1029 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 2: and that's where that's where he got caught. He should 1030 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,040 Speaker 2: have been on the bag ready to tag when it's 1031 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 2: you know, it's a not a no doubter to straightaway 1032 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 2: center field, and I can guarantee you won't see that 1033 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,400 Speaker 2: happen again. 1034 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 23: Yeah, I hope not. But you know, I'll give him 1035 00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,719 Speaker 23: a little defense. He probably thought the ball was caught. 1036 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,600 Speaker 23: He probably didn't see it hit the wall not knowing 1037 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 23: it was in play, and he actually thought he actually 1038 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 23: caught it, you know, instead of it bobbling it. 1039 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,120 Speaker 5: So I'll gi him a little defense either way. 1040 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: You still tag either way, You're still on the bag. 1041 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 2: Even if he caught it clean. Let's say he caught 1042 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,319 Speaker 2: it clean, he's got to do what you said, Mark, 1043 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 2: he's got to be on the bag ready to tag. 1044 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 2: But that was not a catch, as we know by 1045 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,720 Speaker 2: the rules and what we saw earlier this season. 1046 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,640 Speaker 23: Yeah, okay, well better than tomorrow, Lego Dodgers. 1047 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: All right, Mark, thank you for the phone call. 1048 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, either way, Tae Oscar Hernandez needed to 1049 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,320 Speaker 2: be on the third base bag ready to tag. 1050 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 5: Up. 1051 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,760 Speaker 2: Turned out the ball was in play after the ball 1052 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 2: came out of Frelick's glove and hit the wall. Now, 1053 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 2: if it hits the wall and goes over the wall, 1054 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 2: it's a grand slam that it's in play. So just 1055 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,600 Speaker 2: think about it that way. If Frelick catches the ball, 1056 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 2: it bounces out of his glove and goes over the wall, 1057 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 2: is it a catch. No, it's a home run. It's 1058 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 2: a grand slam for Max Munsey, same idea, except this 1059 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 2: time it bounced into play and he was able to 1060 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 2: catch it on the Kreum eight six six seven two 1061 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,360 Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to 1062 00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 2: j and ply at Delray. I bet they don't teach 1063 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 2: that at West Hills Baseball. 1064 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 24: Hello there, David, how are you? 1065 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,040 Speaker 2: I'm doing great?

I am not calling to 1068 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 24: apologize because when I heard we got Blake Snell, I 1069 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 24: was thinking, isn't it isn't it kind of cheating? I mean, 1070 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 24: we win the championship and then we get that guy, 1071 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:10,800 Speaker 24: you know the Lakers, Remember they win a champion and 1072 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,360 Speaker 24: then they got James Worthy and I thought, that's not 1073 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 24: how it's supposed to work. So it was like that. 1074 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,399 Speaker 24: I do have a question, was do you know evil there? 1075 00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 24: Or was somebody shouldn't the third base coach have been 1076 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,479 Speaker 24: yelling at Taoskar no go go go? 1077 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:26,360 Speaker 1: He was? 1078 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 26: He was, oh, he was. 1079 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:30,920 Speaker 7: Oh. 1080 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean Taosky, you know. 1081 00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 2: And when that happens, Jay, the game gets really fast 1082 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,280 Speaker 2: on you.

Like I said, you got to play the games. 1099 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,680 Speaker 2: The Brewers are a tough team. They don't make mistakes. 1100 00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 2: They are going to try to get on base and 1101 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 2: create havoc and cause havoc. But the Dodgers are in 1102 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,360 Speaker 2: a good spot in a good matchup against right hander 1103 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,280 Speaker 2: Freddy Peralta. 1104 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:48,800 Speaker 1: Marongo Casino. 1105 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 2: Dodgers on Deck begins at four o'clock tomorrow with first 1106 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,400 Speaker 2: pitch at five oh eight with Rick Monday and Stephen 1107 00:54:55,520 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 2: Nelson on the call from American Family Field in Milwaukee, 1108 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 2: and the Dodgers are in a great spot to come 1109 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 2: back home up two to oh in a best of 1110 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 2: seven series and look the Dodgers. The Dodgers are are 1111 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 2: feeling pretty good. And how about this Tonight's win in 1112 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 2: Game one of the NLCS not only gave the Dodgers 1113 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,520 Speaker 2: a one tozero lead in the series, but it's the 1114 00:55:20,560 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 2: first time the Dodgers beat the Brewers this season, first 1115 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,400 Speaker 2: time in seven games. But like we talked about leading 1116 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 2: up to this game, those six games in July was 1117 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 2: a completely different Dodger team. Blake Snell wasn't even pitching 1118 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 2: at that point. Key k was out months he was out, 1119 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,719 Speaker 2: Mookie Betts was still in the middle of a horrible 1120 00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 2: slump in the first three months of the season. So 1121 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 2: this is a completely different Dodger team than what the 1122 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,840 Speaker 2: Brewers saw in July, and they're gonna get more of 1123 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 2: it tomorrow night here in Milwaukee.
