He is Steve Sacks. I am 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: Tim Kats one hour to go here. We got a 39 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: pair of Game three tickets to give away to one 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: lucky Dodger fan. But speaking of David Vasse joins us 41 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: now here on Saxon Kate's and the Am and Dave, 42 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: I mean the last night great stuff with Clayton Kershaw 43 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 3: on Off Night Dodger Talk to hear him talk about 44 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: the club within the club that is that Dodgers bullpen. 45 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 3: Was pretty cool to hear about what it's like down 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: there and what his experience is like getting warm for 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: a game, whether or not he's coming in or not. 48 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 6: Thanks Tim, I appreciate that and definitely cool to hear 49 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 6: from him on an off night between Games two and 50 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 6: Game three. I believe he was still at Dodger Stadium 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 6: watching the Yankees game finish up over there. But you're right. 52 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 6: I mean, I've heard this from other relievers where the 53 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 6: bullpen is a team within the team, and it sounds 54 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 6: like he's very anxious to get into the game. It 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 6: sounded like he's itching every time the phone rings that 56 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 6: his name is going to be called, And you know, 57 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 6: I know a lot of people are eager to see it. 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 6: And it's kind of funny how everybody is wanting Kershaw 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 6: in a postseason game when so many people have taken 60 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 6: shots at his postseason resume unfairly, so I think it's 61 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 6: a little ironic that a lot of people now want 62 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 6: him to come out of the bullpen in a playoff game. 63 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, hey, David, good to be with you this morning. 64 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 7: I'm not shocked at all the fact that Clayton called in, 65 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 7: took the time, he knew David Vasse wanted to talk, 66 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 7: and what does he do he calls This is a 67 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 7: culmination of all the years that you brought in, the 68 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 7: the the trust, all that good stuff about you that 69 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 7: makes these guys want to want to be part of it. 70 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 7: So kudos to you. Not a lot of guys could 71 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 7: do that. But this is not just one year. This 72 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 7: is a This is a culmination a lot of time 73 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 7: you put in there. 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: So way to go with that? So I wanted to 75 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: ask you. 76 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 6: What Kirk Gibson have called in the day before game 77 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 6: one of the NLCSD. 78 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 7: No, Well, if you would have asked him, he might have. 79 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 7: But other than that, no chance, No chance, brother, no chance. 80 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 7: I wanted to ask you about this. 81 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 6: Maybe Jesse Rosco would have called in, not Kurt Gibson. 82 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 7: Well maybe you had a better chance with Jesse. It 83 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 7: depends on what day it was. I wanted to ask you. 84 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 7: With with Aaron Nola starting is is this an opener 85 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 7: or a bullpen starting game? 86 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: Really? 87 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 7: What do they legitimately want to get out of Aaron Nola? 88 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 7: They keep telling us that Ranger Suarez is right behind him. 89 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 7: What do you think their expectations are given the fact 90 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 7: that Nola didn't have that great a year. 91 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's interesting, Steve. At the workout yesterday, the Phillies 92 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 6: manager Rob Thompson was being grilled by the Philly media 93 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 6: on why he's starting Aaron Nola in the first place 94 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 6: instead of Ranger Suarez, And basically it sounded like the 95 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 6: Phillies are going with Nola because of the way he 96 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 6: pitched in his last start, where he pitched really well. 97 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 6: And the Philly media, yeah, they asked him if that 98 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 6: start didn't happen, is he starting tonight? And he wouldn't 99 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 6: rule that out. So everybody is a little confused in 100 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 6: Philadeli beyond that side of why Aaron Nola is starting 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 6: tonight's game. And if you look at what he did 102 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 6: in last year's NLDS, he gave up four runs to 103 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 6: the Mets in five innings, So it's not like he 104 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 6: has done great in this type of setting in recent history. 105 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 6: And that's why Ranger Swarez is looming in the bullpen. 106 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 6: And honestly, this Dodger team isn't really going to change 107 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 6: their lineup a whole lot when Ranger Swarez does come in, 108 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 6: I mean Max months, he probably even stays in the game. 109 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 6: They're not going to force the Dodgers to make wholesale 110 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 6: changes just because Ranger Suarez is coming into the game. 111 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 6: So yeah, everybody's a little bit confused in Philly. And 112 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 6: I was just thinking about this on the drive dropping 113 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 6: off the kids at school. You know, if they use 114 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 6: both Nola and Suarez and find a way to pull 115 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 6: this out. Is Walker Buehler starting Game four for the 116 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 6: Phillies at Dodgers Stadium? 117 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 3: Strong possibility that happens tonight. We're gonna see the first 118 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: game of this NLDS at Dodger Stadium. The first two 119 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: games only one home run at Citizens Bank Park, and 120 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: that was off the bat of tey Oscar Hernandez. The 121 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: last thing you want is this Phillies team, which you 122 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: can hit a lot of home runs to get hot. 123 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: But it's been interesting, Dave two teams that hit a 124 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: lot of home runs top ten in baseball. Dodgers were 125 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: number two overall during the regular season. Just one home 126 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: run in the first eighteen innings of this series. 127 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was the biggest home run of the 128 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 6: series so far. Teoscars go ahead, three run homer in 129 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 6: the first inning, and Bryce Harper talked about this yesterday 130 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 6: that he credits the really good pitching to the reason 131 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 6: why it's neutralized the home runs in the first two 132 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 6: games of this series. But Bryce also said that he 133 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 6: loves hitting at Dodger Stadium and it's become now a 134 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 6: hitter's ballpark. He said, the ball flies now at a 135 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 6: Dodgers stadium, when back when Steve was playing, or even 136 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 6: just as recent as twenty two, well, it was considered 137 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 6: a pitchers ballpark in early April and at this time 138 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 6: of the year, did you know eighty nine more home 139 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 6: runs were hit in Dodger home games this year compared 140 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 6: to Dodger road games. So there's something to be said 141 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 6: about hitting at Dodger Stadium. And look, the shadows shouldn't 142 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 6: be a big issue today with first pitch at six 143 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 6: oh eight, and tomorrow if there is a game, it'll 144 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 6: be three o'clock in the afternoon. 145 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: Interesting. 146 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 7: Interesting, David, the state of this team right now, Dave, 147 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 7: I don't know if it could be better. It's just 148 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 7: incredible what they found in the bullpen and how they 149 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 7: were able to remedy that really quick, and you know, 150 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 7: there's so many great things about this team, and you're 151 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 7: sitting back and thinking. 152 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: Okay, what should we work on right now? 153 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 7: I think you just throw BP, you know, hit some 154 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 7: ground balls and get the heck out of their way. Look, 155 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 7: the strength of this team is its experience as well. 156 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 7: They've been there and done that so many times. Well, 157 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 7: they were able to improv that wheell play after not 158 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 7: even practicing and worked it to perfection. I think the 159 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 7: main thing is you just let this horse out of 160 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 7: the barn and let it run, because this team is humming. 161 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,119 Speaker 6: Yeah. I feel like that's something that people aren't really 162 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 6: giving the Dodgers enough credit for. They are the defending 163 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 6: World Series champions, and they have a lot of the 164 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 6: same guys trying to make history to run it back 165 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 6: and win back to back championships for the first time 166 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 6: in baseball since the two thousand Yankees twenty five years ago. 167 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 6: The one player that Dodgers may not have available tonight 168 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 6: is Miguel Rojas, who he admittedly made a poor judgment 169 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 6: in Game two trying to beat Trey Turner to the 170 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 6: third base bag in the third inning on a ground 171 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 6: ball by Alec Bohme. He strained his left handstring on 172 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 6: that play, and his availability for tonight's game is a 173 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 6: little bit in doubt. He's thirty six years old. I 174 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 6: think he forgot that when he was trying to beat 175 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 6: Turner to the bag, and he did. He did, but 176 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 6: strained a left hamstring on the way there. 177 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: Tavid Veasse is with us here on am FI seven 178 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 3: d LA Sports. His Game three is tonight of this 179 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 3: NLDS first pitch at six to eight. We heard from 180 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: Dave Roberts earlier in his press conference yesterday when he 181 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: talked with you guys, and it's interesting his comments about, hey, 182 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: we can't use five pitchers all postseason if we're gonna 183 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 3: win thirteen games. It's a reminder, I think, from Dave 184 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: Roberts to Dodger fans that we have to use other 185 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: guys besides Roki Sasaki out of the bullpen. He was 186 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 3: very clear in saying Rokie's our guy at the back 187 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: end of the game. But I love Dave Roberts having 188 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: to remind everybody that five guys can't just go through 189 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: this postseason. They have to use all the arms in 190 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: their bullpen. 191 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 6: David, Well, if you look at last year's run to 192 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 6: the World Series, the Dodgers basically used eight or nine pitchers, 193 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 6: and a lot of them were relievers. Same thing in 194 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 6: this in this postseason, you don't need thirteen pitchers. You 195 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 6: need eight or nine guys to carry you to the 196 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 6: finish line. And this year obviously a little bit different. 197 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 6: The starting pitchers are going to carry the load, including Emitshen, 198 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 6: Tyler glass Now and Clayton Kershaw, who are going to 199 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 6: pitch out of the bullpen not only in this series 200 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 6: but moving forward if the Dodgers want to get to 201 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 6: the World Series and win it. So it isn't a 202 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 6: participation situation. You don't need to bring guys in to participate. 203 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 6: You need to fill out the roster obviously, but essentially 204 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 6: you need nine guys to get on a heater. And 205 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 6: I firmly believe that the Dodgers need to win tonight 206 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 6: to set up their pitching for the NLCS in the 207 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 6: most maximum type of way. Optimize their pitching for the 208 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 6: NLCS by winning tonight, because that would set up allowing 209 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 6: Tyler glass Now again to be able to pitch out 210 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 6: of the bullpen in Game one or Game two of 211 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 6: the NLCS, which would be next Monday, whether it's here 212 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 6: in LA or in Milwaukee. Likely in Milwaukee. You're going 213 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 6: to need Tyler glass Now and Emic Sheen to pitch 214 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 6: some big innings for you in the postseason in the 215 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 6: bullpen moving forward, especially in a best of seventh series. 216 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 6: So you know, I'm a firm believer you only need 217 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 6: eight or nine guys to get to the World Series. 218 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 6: It reminds me I've said this since the end of September. 219 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 6: The twenty nineteen Nationals had one of the highest bullpen 220 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 6: eras of any World Series champion in the regular season 221 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 6: in the last fifty years. What did they do? They 222 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 6: use Patrick Corbyn as a starter and a reliever. He 223 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 6: pitched some key innings for that Nationals team to win 224 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 6: the World Series. Emmitt Sheen and Tyler Glass now are 225 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 6: going to have to be those guys if the Dodgers 226 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 6: want to win it. I mean, that's the reality of it. 227 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 7: Well, you answered my question about the you know, the 228 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 7: rotation moving forward, David, So thanks for that. But my 229 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 7: secondary question was going to be about this series has 230 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 7: seen one home run and that one by Tayo Hernandez. 231 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 7: So you know, this team has shown that they can 232 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 7: play the defensive part. The pitching is certainly there, and 233 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 7: they can string a hit or two together, which is 234 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 7: something that's not really kind of what this team's about 235 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 7: because it's built for slug But does this show kind 236 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 7: of another part of this team aggressive base running, manufacturing 237 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 7: to run if you will, to get to where it 238 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 7: needs to go. 239 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, they're great at going first to third. I know 240 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 6: everybody points to the lack of stolen bases for the 241 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 6: Dodgers DVE, but that doesn't mean they're not a good 242 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 6: base running team. They're one of the best going back 243 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,239 Speaker 6: to last year of taking the extra base, being aggressive 244 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 6: with balls in the dirt, to the you know that, 245 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 6: don't get behind, to the backstop, to catchers. And I 246 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 6: credit a lot of that to Dino Ebel, the Dodgers 247 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 6: third base coach. As you know, he's a disciple of 248 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 6: Joel Malfitano's. He's an aggressive third base coach. And he 249 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 6: agrees that it was a good thing that Tommy Edmond 250 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 6: ran through his stop sign in Game one. But the 251 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 6: reason why he was doing that is because Tommy Edmund's 252 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 6: right ankle is still something that is in the back 253 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 6: of everybody's mind and wanted to stop him early so 254 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 6: he didn't have to put the brakes on at the 255 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 6: last minute. But the Dodgers are one of, if not 256 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 6: the best base running team going first to third, first 257 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 6: to home, getting great reads. Now, there's a couple of 258 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 6: guys that aren't good, but as a whole, they're the 259 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 6: best base running team in the postseason. 260 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: Dave, real quick. Somebody brought this up earlier. Emmitt Shean's 261 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: availability in Game three tonight through twenty seven pitches just 262 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 3: two days ago in Game two. Is he built up 263 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 3: to come back and pitch today or did he use 264 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: all everything he could in Game two and you know, 265 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: get him basically missed tonight or maybe tomorrow. 266 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 6: Yes, if he doesn't pitch tonight and there's a game four, 267 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 6: I would imagine that he would be available tomorrow. And 268 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 6: I feel like that's part of the thinking that went 269 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 6: into Dave Roberts's decision not to have Shehan finish Game 270 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 6: two because he wanted him to be available tonight or tomorrow. 271 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 6: So that would tell me that, yeah, in one of 272 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 6: these two games he's available now. Roki Sasaki, I don't know, 273 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 6: that's a that's another question, and it goes back to 274 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 6: what I said about closing it out in this series. 275 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 6: If there was a game five, Dave Roberts said, Showeyotani 276 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 6: would start it. If there's an opportunity to put the 277 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 6: Phillies out of their misery in a safe situation tonight, 278 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 6: I wouldn't be shocked to see Shoeotani close it out 279 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,479 Speaker 6: if Rokie's not available. 280 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: Wow. 281 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: I love that, Dave. I love it. 282 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 6: I mean, why not, right, he wouldn't be pitching until 283 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 6: Game two. That would set him up to pitch Game 284 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 6: two in the NLCS in Milwaukee, Snell is set up 285 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 6: to pitch Game one. It's got a week worth the rest. 286 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 6: If you have an opportunity to go for the kill tonight, 287 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 6: I'm not messing around. I'm not having any sort of 288 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 6: tryouts in the ninth inning. I'm bringing in Otani to 289 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 6: close it out. 290 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: I love it. I love it to be kind of 291 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: like a like a side right. 292 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And I mean he showed he can handle 293 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 6: these Phillies if it's the right grouping of hitters in 294 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 6: the ninth inning, I can completely see that. And going 295 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 6: into the postseason, that was my vision that you know, 296 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 6: if it was a relief appearance, to close out a series. 297 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 6: That's when you would see Otani. You wouldn't see him 298 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 6: in game one or game two of a series. You 299 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 6: would see him in an elimination type of situation. 300 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: David, great stuff. As always, we will check in with 301 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 3: you later today with Petro some money again.

I mean to close her 319 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 7: down if it's five to four Dodgers, and he comes. 320 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: In if Otani's music starts playing, and it's a ninth inning, 321 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: and here comes number seventeen through the gates. I mean 322 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: that place could erupt tonight. Yeah, and that's that's a 323 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 3: great point by David. Why not go for the kill? 324 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: So to speak of the Phillies and in this series 325 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 3: Game five of the World Series last year in New York. 326 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: You know, you go back and look what Dave Roberts 327 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 3: had to say afterwards. He went with Walker Bull in 328 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: the ninth inning. One because he didn't have a lot 329 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: of options, and two he realized, Steve, let's end this now. Yes, 330 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 3: I know he's my Game seven starter, but we don't 331 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 3: even need him in Game seven because we can finish 332 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: it off with three more outs in the ninth inning. 333 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 3: And that's that's the way you have to look at 334 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: that tonight. 335 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 7: No question, I love it. I think I think that's 336 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 7: a possibility. I mean I didn't think about until Day 337 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 7: brought that up.

Reggie? 388 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 8: Hey, hey, guys, you know my favorite part of this 389 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 8: when it's the Dodgers is when you guys are on, 390 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 8: like really can't stay. Who's on five to seventy when 391 00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 8: it's not Dodger Dodger baseball Jesus Christ. Well, I guess 392 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 8: you guys kind of talk about it on the last 393 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 8: part about the pitching, about how now we've seen starters 394 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 8: being relievers and the possibility of being stars that come closers. 395 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 8: So I guess to aggress from that, do you think 396 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 8: that development of pitches in the future is going to 397 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 8: be something guy more versatile than what traditionally baseball arm 398 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 8: where you have a starter, reliever and closer. Just want 399 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 8: to hear your thoughts on that. 400 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 3: Thanks guys, All right, Reggie, appreciate the phone call. Certainly, 401 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 3: the evolution of the reliever has gotten bigger. Guys are 402 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 3: getting paid more. Certainly that is evident in ten Or 403 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 3: Scott getting a four year seventy two million dollar deal 404 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 3: to come in as a Dodger reliever. Kirby Yates got 405 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: a nice one year deal lucrative to sign with the Dodgers. 406 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 3: The evolution of the reliever is way different than it 407 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: was when you were playing Steve Sachs. 408 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 7: Yes, and you know, I've been wondering the same question. 409 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 7: Is the reliever going to be a guy that was 410 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 7: a starter that's transitioning to more of a part time 411 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 7: pitcher and not a guy that's supposed to carry the 412 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 7: mail for the you know, the hopefully the nine innings 413 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 7: that he was his mindset would would direct him to do. 414 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 7: Is it going to be just maybe a hybrid, Maybe 415 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 7: a guy that comes out in you know, high leverage 416 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 7: situations and pitches two or three innings, sometimes four innings, 417 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 7: not you know, not what a normal starter would do, 418 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 7: but more than a normal reliever. So maybe we see 419 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 7: a hybrid starting to happen. 420 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: Now. 421 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 7: We saw big changes with Tampa Bay when they introduced 422 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 7: the pen game or the opener, so it's been pretty 423 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 7: pretty fluid here. 424 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: I think over the course of one hundred and sixty 425 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 3: two games. You still have to have starting pitchers, You 426 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: still have to have five to six guys go out 427 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 3: there and give you five innings at least, because we've 428 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: seen it. Bullpens will die out, arms will get tired, 429 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 3: Guys will get hurt on the amount of usage that 430 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 3: you put on those arms, the amount of stress you 431 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: put on those arms, constantly using them over the course 432 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: of one hundred and sixty two games. We saw with 433 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 3: this Dodgers bullpen last year. We saw it again this 434 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: year with guys get hurt in the amount of usage. 435 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: Ben Casparius comes to mind as a right hander who 436 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 3: just got used and used and used in different roles, 437 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: mostly had the bullpen, and the inning started to tick 438 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 3: up and his uses went up, and his ability here 439 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: in October is not there. So uh, Sonia West Covina. 440 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 3: Next up here on Saxon Kate's And am how you doing? Sonya? 441 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: I am good?

Of course on a private jet. I would 496 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 7: have to have armed security. Okay, But if I were 497 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 7: the Phillies, I would bring in the Philly Fanatic and 498 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 7: put his goofy self on top of the Phillies, dugout 499 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 7: and do his thing. 500 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 3: He is by far, and I gotta give it to him. 501 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 7: He is far and away the best mascot ever in 502 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 7: any sport, and it just happens to be in baseball. 503 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 7: He's the greatest ever.

But if I 508 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 2: were them, I would do it. 509 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 3: That would be awesome to bring the visiting mascot into 510 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium. I don't know if it's allowed, but I 511 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 3: think that's a great idea. 512 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 7: And it just might fire up. It might backfire on 513 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 7: these guys, fire up the Dodger fans like you can't 514 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 7: believe a. 515 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 3: Hundred percent, it would fire up Dodger fans. Unfortunately. I 516 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 3: think the Philly Fanatic would have to have his head 517 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 3: on his swivel as he was was looking around, because 518 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 3: I think there'd be some things objects maybe come in 519 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 3: his direction, if you know what I mean. So probly 520 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 3: Brian and Burbank is next up on Saxon Kates and 521 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 3: am how you doing?

Good morning, Thanks for coming on, man, 553 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: I appreciate it. 554 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 6: And sexy, how are you guys? Doing good to talking 555 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 6: to you guys. 556 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 3: We're doing fantastic Game three tonight. The Phillies are changing 557 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 3: it up, wearing their baby blue road uniforms. They're desperate 558 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 3: to get a win. They haven't hit a home run yet, 559 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 3: no more. How did the Dodgers keep that foot on 560 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: their throat tonight and eliminate any option or any opportunity 561 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: for this Phillies offense to get going and try to 562 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 3: get back into this series. 563 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 6: One. 564 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 9: I think the starting pitching, which has really been the 565 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 9: key for the Dodgers towards the end of the season 566 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 9: and going into the postseason. Yamamoto, I think you can 567 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 9: go out there and continue putting up zero, especially when 568 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 9: they're leading off the game with their big three at 569 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 9: the top of the lineup. I think putting up a 570 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 9: zero in that first inning would be really critical and 571 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 9: important just to try to smash some hopes that the 572 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 9: Phillies may have early in the game, So I think 573 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 9: that would be huge. And then obviously scoring early too 574 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 9: to allow Yamamoto to have some breathing room as well, 575 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 9: so he doesn't feel like he has to be perfect. 576 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 9: So if the offense can do that, it's just kind 577 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 9: of having quality about and trying to maybe score at 578 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 9: least one run in any throughout the game, which will 579 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 9: really force the Phillies to continue to try to climb uphill. No. 580 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 7: Mar good to be with you today, and you know, 581 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 7: I tell you what. I was just blown away at 582 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 7: the example of athleticism and the smarts that we saw 583 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 7: with Mookie Bets and you know, calling you know it 584 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 7: out right there to put on the wheel play and 585 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 7: something they obviously, as he said, we don't, we don't 586 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 7: practice it that much, but they ran it to perfection. 587 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 7: And you know, is it that easy for a guy 588 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 7: to play shortstop? You were one of the best to 589 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 7: ever play shortstop, both offensively and defensively. But for Mooki 590 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 7: to come in here at age thirty thirty one, whatever 591 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 7: he is, and just to play as well as he does, 592 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 7: it seems like he's been there for ten years, you know, 593 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 7: calling that play right there. Is it really that easy 594 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 7: as a shortstop? 595 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 3: I mean, this is the most demanding position on the field. 596 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 9: No, it's not that easy there. Obviously, there's a lot 597 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 9: that goes into you know, you practice the wheel play 598 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 9: maybe early in the season, but also the important part 599 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 9: is your positioning. You're positioning when you're coming into the 600 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 9: base runner in the view and then angles to third base. 601 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 9: That's what's really critical. And whether Munchie says they practiced 602 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 9: out of the team, I'm curious to see if Mooki 603 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 9: even practiced that without the team. Doesn't mean you can 604 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 9: practice that as a shortstop with your you know, get 605 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 9: a base runner, get your coach out there and work 606 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 9: on which would have surprised me if Mooky did practice 607 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 9: that standing that because he wants to understand every part 608 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 9: of that position. And the one thing that I noticed 609 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 9: from Muki as of course of this season went on. 610 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 9: As matter of fact, I was even it was I 611 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 9: was broadcasting the game kind of in August, I was 612 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 9: doing the I was doing the Cincinnati series at home, 613 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 9: and Mooki had made some phenomenal plays that week building 614 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 9: up to that series. He's made some great plays in 615 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 9: that series, and they're asking me, as a short stop, 616 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 9: you know, what do you see from Mooki? Is it? 617 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 9: And I said, well, I think now he's a shortstop. 618 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 9: Before early on he was an unbelievable athlete. Playing shortstop. 619 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 9: There's a big difference, and especially when you're moving to 620 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 9: a new position. And I remember myself personally when I 621 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 9: moved to first base, I didn't feel like I was 622 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 9: the first baseman until like August, July, August, September, going 623 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 9: in where now, I was like, okay, I'm a first 624 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 9: basement because before that you're constantly thinking in your head 625 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 9: and okay, before the before the pitch as a player, 626 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 9: and you're playing every scenario in your head and and 627 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 9: as you know, it's actually when you're playing a position 628 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 9: for so long, it's instinct. You're not even thinking. That's 629 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 9: the last thing, like where I have to be, Like 630 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 9: you just naturally know where to go, especially beca basement wherever, 631 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 9: maybe in shorts, and I think came. I think in 632 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 9: that August that we started seeing MOOKI was no longer thinking, 633 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 9: he was no longer having it. It was just instinct 634 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 9: as he's moving. I think there's certain things he's still 635 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 9: missing from the position, as far as being in certain 636 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 9: positions at certain plays SUCHI font balls in the outfield, 637 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 9: But at the same time, I don't think he's thinking anymore. 638 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 9: I think he's not thinking. Also where's armslot and throwing? 639 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 9: Which I think gave him the most difficulty last year 640 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 9: as he was moving to that position, was really trying 641 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 9: to understand armslot and body positioning before you get to 642 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 9: the ball, before you actually fill that. I think now 643 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 9: all of that, what we're seeing is just a shortstop 644 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 9: playing out there, and a great athletic shortstop playing shortstop. 645 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 9: So I think that's the transition, and I think that 646 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 9: has carried into that play that we saw, where there 647 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 9: was instincts involved rather than him going Okay, here's a 648 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 9: critical moment, here's a play. Oh my gosh, what am 649 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 9: I supposed to do? Rather than hey, how about a 650 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 9: real play here? I know I'm working, I'm confident myself. 651 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 9: And the other thing we can't take away from that 652 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 9: tremendous play was next month, He's throw was a great throw. 653 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 9: It was a perfect throws not easy to try to 654 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 9: throw to a guy on the run, and it was 655 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 9: a perfect throw. So it was it was well the timing, 656 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 9: well played everything, and gosh darm you know, the Dodgers 657 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 9: needed it at that moment because that was a pretty 658 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 9: scary moment there in the night. I mean, my heart 659 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 9: skipped the. 660 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: Beat, no doubt. I want to stick with defense for 661 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 3: a second, No mark, because Steve talked about it yesterday 662 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 3: when when he was with the Yankees, he had Don 663 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: Maddingly at first base and he just felt at ease 664 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 3: as a second baseman, as a shortstop. To have a 665 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 3: guy like Freddie Freeman over at first base and to 666 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 3: know that nine times out of a ten, ninety nine 667 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 3: times out of one hundred. He is going to make 668 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 3: a play to help you if you make a bad throw, 669 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 3: and we saw that with Tommy Edmond at the final 670 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 3: out of the game, to have him over at first. 671 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 3: But the fact that he's only won one Gold Glove 672 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 3: is a freaking shame because he had like nine of 673 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 3: them in his arsenal. But what is it like to 674 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,959 Speaker 3: have a guy like Freddy Freeman, a first baseman that 675 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 3: can help you out over first if you make a 676 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 3: bad throw. 677 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 6: It's huge. 678 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 9: Every when we talk about teams as far as infield 679 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 9: is concern, you're like, Wow, they're just such a great 680 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 9: defending team, and especially on the infield over the years, 681 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 9: no matter what team we talk about, when you say 682 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 9: that about an infield they have an unbelievable first baseman. 683 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 9: It's the first baseman that makes the rest of them 684 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 9: so great. And I know firsthand as an infielder having 685 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 9: certain first basements over there that you're just like, oh 686 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 9: my gosh, this guy is unbelievable. It's going to catch everything. 687 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 9: I remember having Tony Clark over there, and besides that, 688 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 9: you know he's seven to four, so it felt like 689 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 9: you were going to throw the ball in the Stands 690 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 9: and Tony Clark. For some reason, it felt like I 691 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 9: was like, there are balls I released, and I'm like, 692 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 9: oh my gosh. I was like screaming at the person 693 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 9: in the front row heads up because I'm thinking I'm 694 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 9: going to hit somebody, and he's just you know, as 695 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 9: he's catching it at his forehead or he's catching in 696 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 9: his head and he's like, I'm gonna throw it. No 697 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 9: more of my good throw. Oh my god. I had 698 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 9: Derek Lee. Derek Lee's another guy who was unbelievable who 699 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 9: covered so your target was huge. And and you know 700 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 9: another guy who wasn't tall but was unbelievable. 701 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 6: He would tell you. 702 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 9: He would tell you he is like, look, he'd raise 703 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 9: his hand up and he goes, see that that's as 704 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 9: high as you can throw because I can't jump. He goes, 705 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 9: but I will pick everything. Else in front of that 706 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 9: was Rico Brunia. He was like, I mean, and man, 707 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 9: could he pick anything? It was unbeliv But all those guys, 708 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 9: and even I think what also gets overlooked is Freddy 709 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 9: Freeman is very tall, so he has such a tremendous target. 710 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 9: But the other thing, though, too, when guys who are tall, 711 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:38,280 Speaker 9: like to Tony Clark, Derek Lee, Freddy Freeman. Their reach 712 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 9: is also greater in front of them. So those times 713 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 9: when you throw a ball as an infield and you're like, oh, 714 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 9: my gosh, that's going to be the in between hop 715 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 9: or oh that's going to skip them. The either catch 716 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 9: it or it's an easier hop for those guys because 717 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 9: their reaches a little bit longer. So that also happens 718 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 9: to play into it. Aside from him having a great gloves, 719 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 9: it's not just his type, but he's unbelievable. But it 720 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,279 Speaker 9: makes the world a difference. There's so many times where 721 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 9: you feel like you have to take your first basement 722 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 9: out to dinners all the time, retreating them the dinners 723 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 9: because you know how valuable, which honestly, when I actually 724 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 9: moved first, I was like I worked so hard at 725 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 9: it because I knew how important that position was to 726 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 9: the rest of my infield. Like I you know, I 727 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 9: didn't go to the WBC that year when the first 728 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 9: and I was just play for because I was like, 729 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 9: you know, they wanted me to play short and I 730 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 9: was like, no, I need to play first. I owe 731 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 9: it to the team that my infielders. I really need 732 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 9: to learn this position. I really need to understand the footwork. 733 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 9: I really need to go out there and learn how 734 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 9: to how to really help them and pick and make 735 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 9: them feel as confident as possible, because I knew how 736 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 9: important that was to me. 737 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great example. 738 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 6: No more. 739 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 7: Hey, I wanted to ask you about the way this 740 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 7: thing is panning out so far. One home run so 741 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 7: far in this series. About two teams that can really slug. 742 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 7: I mean, I think it's great the improv that the 743 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 7: Dodgers have done, both in the bullpen and you know, 744 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 7: taking that extra base, making the wheel play work and 745 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 7: all these different things. When are we going to see 746 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 7: the slug eama start to come out? 747 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: And no more? 748 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 7: And it could happen with both teams, But don't you 749 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 7: feel it's kind of perking and percolating in the background 750 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 7: there like this thing might turn into a slug fest. 751 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 9: Well, well, first of all, you also got to tip 752 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 9: your head so that I mean the field from the 753 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 9: from a Dodgers perspective, the Phillies that's. 754 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 6: A really good pitching and y versa. 755 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 9: Dodgers have great starting pitching as well, So those are 756 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 9: really key factors. And yeah, you're right at any moment, 757 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 9: I would tell the Dodgers don't look for it, continue 758 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 9: having quality at back, because it will come. It's just 759 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 9: you know, by home runs are a byproduct of good 760 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 9: at bats, not you're searching for it. I think they 761 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 9: get in trouble when they search for it. As a 762 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 9: matter of fact, when you see some of the struggles 763 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 9: that I see, like let's take show Hey for example, 764 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 9: I think he's he's flying open a little bit too 765 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 9: quick and too soon, and that's getting them in trouble. 766 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 9: He's got to keep that front shoulder closed. And sometimes 767 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,400 Speaker 9: that's a byproduct we either filling, beat fatigue, whatever. 768 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 6: It may be. 769 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 9: You can use different wreaths, but but when you stay. 770 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 6: Closed, just look for that hit. The ball will fly. 771 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 9: So I'm not too worried. I'm actually happy that they're 772 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 9: going after scoring runs, winning games without the long ball. Uh. 773 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 9: We were asked a question before the series on our show, 774 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 9: like what do you think the most important thing is 775 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 9: going to be in the series? And you know, you 776 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 9: said hitting with runners in scoring position. 777 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 6: It's critical. 778 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 9: And you know I heard No World talked about hitting 779 00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 9: with two outs and Jerry we talked about hitting runners 780 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 9: scorn position talk, And it's so true hitting being able 781 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 9: to score runs with two outs to out RBIs that's 782 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 9: the Dodgers hats are huge. It's they're so demoralizing to 783 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,839 Speaker 9: the opponent. But to continue to have good at beats 784 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 9: runners and scoring position. The long ball, I'm not worried about. 785 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 9: It will come, uh, so don't don't search for it. 786 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 9: And then the key is is really stifling the other 787 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 9: teams in their long ball because yeah, they do have 788 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 9: some big, big, big thumpers on that side as well. 789 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm not worried about. 790 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 9: It because we know it's there and and and I'm 791 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 9: sure the pitchers are always having the back of my 792 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 9: mindsetf I make a mistake, you know, I'm getting a 793 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 9: new ball from the umpire. 794 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 3: Nor appreciate you popping on this morning and talking some 795 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,719 Speaker 3: baseball and enlightening the fans on the expertise that you 796 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 3: bring night in and night out on sports and at LA. 797 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 3: Really appreciate it.

And 829 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 7: that is, you gotta get to Aaron Nola.

So you want to get there 835 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 7: and stick it to Aaron Nola right out of the game. 836 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 7: Be aggressive in the zone, and just let it fly. 837 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 7: I mean this, The Dodgers got everything else figured out, okay, 838 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 7: but they just got to get to Aaron Nola and 839 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 7: don't let him get momentum and pass it off to 840 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 7: swear Az because this guy can shove. He's pretty darn good. 841 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 7: But I think they've got a vulnerability here with Aaron Nola, 842 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 7: and you got to really press him. 843 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 3: I'll tell you the guy who I'm expecting to have 844 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 3: a big game tonight, and I expect him to be 845 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 3: somebody who goes deep and hits a home run. Who 846 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 3: it is Dodger Stadium going, I know who it is. 847 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 3: It's the Kugano Bambino, Andy pas Okay. 848 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 7: I was going to say, I was going to say 849 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 7: Freddy Freeman, but yeah, Piez, come on, Hey, you know what. 850 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 7: I'm not the hitting coach, but a lot of times 851 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 7: taking strike one right down the gut, I'm not getting that. 852 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, this guy can poll Man, he can hit. 853 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 3: He can right, He's one. Don't give that guy a 854 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,919 Speaker 3: cookie right down the middle. Jack that dude. Absolutely one 855 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 3: for seventeen so far in the postseason, two games in 856 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 3: the wild Card and two games in this NLDS. He 857 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 3: of course had a hit in Game one, but he's 858 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 3: one for seventeen with four strikeouts. He is due. This 859 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 3: is a guy who had twenty plus home runs. We 860 00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 3: know what he could do on the outfield with his arm. 861 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 3: But once you get him going, he's due for that 862 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 3: bad He's due for one of those shots into the Dodgers' bullpen, 863 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 3: a shot deep into the pavilion. In left field, and 864 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 3: he Pie has is due and tonight is the night 865 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 3: that Dodger Stadium is gonna be rocking, And I think 866 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,759 Speaker 3: Pie is gonna hit a big home run. 867 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, I think if he just don't think 868 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 7: so much. And we've all been there, Okay, we've all 869 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 7: been there. Go up there, look for a piece of 870 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 7: dead red and part that third basement's hair with it. Okay, 871 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 7: get yourself something to hit and drill it. Don't don't 872 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 7: think too much, don't screw this deep in the count stuff. 873 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 7: It don't matter. You get a cookie in there, man, 874 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 7: go ahead and hammer it. 875 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 3: And tonight will we see show Hey Otani come out 876 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 3: and close the game? David Avast floated that idea, which. 877 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 7: Is bigger if show Hay comes out or Clayton comes 878 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 7: out Show Hey Really, Okay. 879 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 3: I think we'll see Clayton Kershaw at some point tonight, 880 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 3: especially in a closeout situation. It would be surprising. 881 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 7: Push on you on that, you know why, because they're 882 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,359 Speaker 7: gonna see show Hey in the next round. You may not, 883 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,280 Speaker 7: who knows when you're gonna see Clayton. I think Clayton 884 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 7: might get the bigger one. 885 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 3: Well. Either way, if we're seeing show Hey and Clayton Kershaw. 886 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 3: I think that's a good sign for the Dodgers late 887 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 3: in a game. And if we see show Hey close 888 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 3: it out, I'm telling you Dodger Stadium will be electric 889 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 3: and it will be rumbling at the ravine tonight. If 890 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 3: that is the case, who knows it was floated out, 891 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 3: there would be a great scene in a close out 892 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 3: situation with the potential Game five starter coming in to 893 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,800 Speaker 3: close it out and finish it off.
