2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: It's winning it again.

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:08,200

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 6: right at the beginning of Dodger Talk last night. You

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 6: can find that on the iHeartRadio app Dodger Talk podcast.

31
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 6: We played it for you last hour as well. A

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 6: great candid conversation with the future Hall of Famer who

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 6: is now a reliever for the Dodgers and we have

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 6: yet to see him in this NLDS and maybe we'll

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 6: see him tonight. We certainly know who we'll see from

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 6: the Philadelphia Phillies in Aaron Nola. He gets to start.

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 6: He's had an up and down season. Ranger Suarez. We'll

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 6: get the innings to follow, as Rob Thompson is not

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 6: wasting any time and rightfully so, they got to get

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 6: a win. And if they do, Saxy, they're gonna go

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 6: back to Christopher Sanchez in Game four and Hayes Los

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 6: Solisardo for a possible game five. If you're the Dodgers

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: and you face those guys already and they were really

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 6: good against you in both of their outings, that's the

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 6: last thing I want to do is see those guys

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 6: the second time around in a short series. Let's just

47
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 6: take care of business tonight, all right, Let's just get

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 6: after Aaron Nola.

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Please. Yes.

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 7: And that's the thing is you have a I think

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 7: you have an opening here. Even though Aaron Nola is

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 7: extremely capable, he's done throughout his career. However, at this

53
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 7: point in time, he's not at his best and he's

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 7: trying to find it as well. And that's not a

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 7: good thing to try to, you know, if you're trying

56
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 7: to find it in postseason. But the Dodgers have an

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 7: opportunity I think right here. This team is down. They

58
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 7: know that they're down. You know, they're wearing different uniforms

59
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 7: or trying to find a way to uh to kind

60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 7: of change the way to get at it. But you

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 7: have an opportunity here that I think the key is

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 7: and this is where the Dodgers will really shine in

63
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 7: this is to to not get ahead of yourself, to

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 7: not you know, try to you know, try to get

65
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 7: over excited about the moment, and they won't. The Dodgers are very,

66
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 7: very season professional team. They remind me a lot of

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 7: the eighty one Dodgers when I first came up. Guys

68
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 7: have you know, been tested and you know, with a

69
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 7: lot of talent, and it's just a matter of going

70
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 7: out there and putting the screws to him, and I

71
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 7: think they'll do it.

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 5: Let's hear from both managers.

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 6: First, the Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thompson about going with

74
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 6: his starter tonight.

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 8: He'll be Aaron Nola with Ranger behind him.

76
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: What's the reasoning behind that?

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 8: Nole's never pitched out of the pen, so how long

78
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 8: he goes, I don't know. More comfortable with starting one,

79
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 8: You're you're gonna see Ranger Tomore. I would be shocked

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 8: if you don't see Ranger in more so, he's more

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 8: comfortable starting. The numbers on their lefties are very similar,

82
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 8: Ranger versus Nola, so just and you know the trust

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 8: factor that I trust them, both of them. Don't get

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 8: me wrong. Knowle's pitched some really big games for us

85
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 8: in the last couple of years.

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 6: All right, there's the manager, Rob Thompson, and as he mentioned,

87
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 6: Aaron Nola will start tonight. Out of all of his

88
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 6: two hundred and ninety five Big League appearances for Aaron Nola,

89
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 6: all of them Steve Sacks have come as a starter,

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 6: whereas Rangers Sworez has pitched in other roles. He's been

91
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 6: an opener early in his career, he's been a reliever,

92
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 6: and of course he's been a starter now in eight

93
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 6: seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. He's been plenty of relief

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 6: appearances as well, including two in the postseason in twenty

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 6: twenty two in the NLCS. So the fact that Aaron

96
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 6: Nola has never pitched out of the bullpen by default,

97
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 6: then he becomes the starter, followed by Ranger Swarz. And

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 6: something to keep in mind. A great little nugget for

99
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 6: all you Dodger fans. Opponents are hitting just two point

100
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 6: fifty two with a six ninety three OPS against Aaron

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 6: Nola when facing him for the first time. That's not

102
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 6: great numbers at six ninety three ops two fifty two average. However,

103
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 6: opponents this season the second time through the OPS jumps

104
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 6: up to almost eight hundred. Now even more, the third

105
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 6: time through a lineup. Aaron Nola gets lit up an

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 6: ops of opponent's hitters over a thousand the third time

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 6: through a lineup, so really good time through. Absolutely he

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 6: may not see the third inning or beyond, depending on

109
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 6: how quickly this Dodgers lineup can turn over and get

110
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 6: back to showy Otani, because the numbers dictate it. And

111
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 6: they show that his numbers get worse the second time

112
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 6: and then dramatically worse the third time.

113
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 7: Well, what what what's going on here? This is a

114
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 7: this is cover for a pen game or an opener,

115
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 7: That's what this is. They're hoping they get three good

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 7: innings out of them and maybe into the fourth.

117
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: And that's it.

118
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 6: Uh.

119
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 7: And Ranger Suarez, I mean this guy again, no chump.

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 7: He was an All Star last year in twenty four.

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 7: I think his year this year was not only extremely

122
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 7: similar similar as a matter of fact, some of the

123
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 7: numbers are identical, but even probably a little better year

124
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 7: this year. And you know he had a three twenty

125
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 7: era and you know, for practical sense and some context,

126
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 7: people know what that is. They know that an era

127
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 7: of in you know, the low threes is really good.

128
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 7: And you know he doesn't give up a lot of

129
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 7: home runs, less than one a game. So he's he's

130
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 7: got the goods. I mean, this guy's a quality pitcher.

131
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 7: He's one of the three lefties that we talked about

132
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 7: before when we were on the onset.

133
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: Of Game one.

134
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 7: So you know, he's he's very, very capable of going

135
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 7: up there and putting a lot of zero's up there.

136
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 7: Dodger's job is to make him come into the game

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 7: when he's losing. So the job to do really is

138
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 7: on Aaron Nola. Get on him quick and make him pay.

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

140
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 6: Aaron Nola a five and ten season. During the regular

141
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 6: season battle through injuries an ERA over six, missed some

142
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 6: time on the IL, came back, had a good final

143
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 6: start in his regular season finale, all being against the

144
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 6: Minnesota Twin two at that point had traded away everybody

145
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 6: and we're just playing out the string. He went eight innings,

146
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: struck out nine allouns, just one run. I don't use

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 6: that too much as a litmus test, because again, it

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 6: was the final start against a bad Minnesota Twins team

149
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: looking to get to vacation as soon as possible. His

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 6: postseason experience ten starts five and four with a four

151
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 6: to zero two ERA for the big right hander, Aaron Nola.

152
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 6: So you heard from Rob Thomson, the manager of the

153
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 6: Philadelphia Phillies.

154
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: Let's go to the other side.

155
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 6: Yesterday at the podium, the manager Dave Roberts spoke to

156
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 6: the media, we.

157
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 9: Have to win x amount of more games and he's

158
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 9: not going to close every game. It's just not feasible.

159
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 9: So you've got to use other guys. And so but

160
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 9: I think that to the question, yeah, if it, if

161
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 9: it makes sense, he'll definitely be finishing games. This is

162
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 9: something he's never done, and you're expecting to go a

163
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 9: few more weeks, and so all that stuff has to

164
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 9: play in that. A lot of people just don't have

165
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 9: any appreciation for. That's everything. You know, if there is

166
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 9: a world where you can use five pitchers and finish

167
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 9: a postseason and when the postseason, I think a lot

168
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 9: of people would sign up for that. That's impossible. So you've

169
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 9: got to use your roster at certain times and kind

170
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 9: of pick spots where you feel best and live with

171
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 9: whatever outcome. But you know, that's just the way it

172
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 9: goes in to win for us this year. Thirteen games

173
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 9: in October, but very well framed question, and you know,

174
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 9: but yeah, the more you see guys and give guys opportunities.

175
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 9: You see how they respond, and it certainly helps my

176
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 9: decision making going forward. It doesn't do a whole lot

177
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 9: outside of Maxi being the lineup. You know, I don't

178
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 9: Miggey Road won't be in there. Then I've got to

179
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 9: certainly make the decision on will versus Best and to

180
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 9: start the game. But that has no bearing on who

181
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 9: the starting pitcher is for them. I think the main

182
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 9: thing is we've attacked those guys. We haven't been scared

183
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 9: off using the fastball. I think we crowd them just enough.

184
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 9: I think we go soft just enough, and I think

185
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 9: we change high levels. So up to this point, we've

186
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 9: done a really nice job of keeping those guys at bay.

187
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 9: So we still got some work to do, and you

188
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 9: try to keep those guys asleep, all right.

189
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 6: There's manager Dave Roberts at the end. They're talking about

190
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 6: what they've been doing to Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper,

191
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 6: limiting them so far in the first two games of

192
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 6: the series, talking about what he's going to do with

193
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 6: catcher with been rart Vett and Will Smith and what

194
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 6: they've done the first two games with Will Smith coming

195
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 6: off the bench, Aaron Nola pitching as a right hander,

196
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 6: meaning Max Munsey will get the start at third base

197
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 6: as a left handed hitter, even with ranger Swarez set

198
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 6: to go. But the first thing he talked about Steve

199
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 6: was rookie Sasaki, and he was asked a couple of times.

200
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 6: Still won't say he's our guy, our closer, but you

201
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 6: can read between the lines that they are going to

202
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 6: now go to him in a closeout situation, high leverage,

203
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 6: end of game situation. And I thought it was interesting

204
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 6: what he said there. We have to use our entire roster.

205
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 6: And that goes back to what we were talking about yesterday,

206
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 6: is why did he go to Blake Trianon and the

207
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 6: ninth inning of Game two? Well, you got to be

208
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 6: able to trust Blake Trying. If you can't, then why

209
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 6: is he on the roster. All these guys out of

210
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 6: the bullpen, you have to have the trust to bring

211
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 6: them in in a situation. And as Dave Roberts said, ideally, yes,

212
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 6: we'd like to go through a postseason win thirteen games

213
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 6: with only five pitchers, but that's not reality. That's not

214
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 6: the world we live in in twenty twenty five in

215
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 6: Major League baseball, So these guys when their number is called,

216
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 6: are going to have to perform. But you can hear

217
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: it in his voice. You know what, We're gonna go

218
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 6: to Rookie if we need to in the back end

219
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 6: of the game.

220
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I mean, on its face, Rokie has

221
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 7: shown that he can certainly, you know, go in there

222
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 7: and close a game. And that's that's a fantastic thing.

223
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 7: Does that mean that you know you're not going to

224
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 7: be able to use other guys and it's only be

225
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 7: is only going to be exclusively with him. That's not

226
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 7: even close to to be in reality, I mean David

227
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 7: alex Vesia and there can be can be a real

228
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 7: big help on the left side.

229
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: You got to use Blake Trining.

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 7: You know Shean is going to be available to I

231
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 7: wonder how much they're gonna use dryer, And you know

232
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 7: Clayton Kershaw.

233
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: Is going to be there. So you you got plenty

234
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: of guys Banda.

235
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 7: You got guys still that can come in there and

236
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 7: uh and be very productive, Guys that have been still

237
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 7: good in the bullpen. And so you utilize what's going

238
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 7: hot and what's good for your for your team, and

239
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 7: you got.

240
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: Guys down there, you got some options.

241
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 6: Part of it is in a series, especially in the postseason,

242
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 6: the more you use a reliever, right, Steve, the more

243
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 6: you got a guy coming out of the bullpen, the

244
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 6: more the chance of the opposition gets to see that

245
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 6: guy and face him and see his pitches, and see

246
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 6: where the arm slot is, and see where the ball breaks,

247
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 6: and how does a split finger work here? And where

248
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 6: does that sweeper break coming out of his hand when

249
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 6: he throws, dips and down to three quarters out of

250
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 6: his wind.

251
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: Up, all those things.

252
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 6: The more just repetition, Right, The more and more you

253
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 6: see a picture, the more and more you feel confident. Right,

254
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: So you can't throw a guy out there every single

255
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 6: game because you would think eventually, by the third, fourth,

256
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 6: fifth time, the hitters are gonna be like, Okay, I've

257
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 6: seen everything he can throw. Nothing surprises me anymore.

258
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

259
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 7: And also, how that picture is trending at the moment,

260
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 7: That's that's a big thing. What kind of cycle is

261
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 7: he in personally? I mean, is he at the top

262
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 7: of his game? Is things breaking his way even when

263
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 7: they barrel the ball up it seemed to go at somebody.

264
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 7: Is he how's his momentum going that that's a huge

265
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 7: factor I believe.

266
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: In bringing in the guy.

267
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, he's his stuff isn't quite as sharp

268
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 7: as maybe so and so is, but man, he's getting

269
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 7: people out.

270
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: Well, that's the guy I want to bring in the game.

271
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 7: You know, his his the flow of where he is

272
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 7: in this cycle of you know, baseball has ebbs and

273
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 7: flows and the same thing with pitchers. They go through

274
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 7: the same thing. Hitters go through it, and you use

275
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 7: who is hot right now, Roki is hot, and I

276
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 7: would be surprised if he was there were somebody else

277
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 7: that's gonna come in and close down a game. I

278
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 7: think he's the man, and he showed he can do it.

279
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 7: But you know, he may be the main course, but

280
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 7: you got to have some side dishes in there too,

281
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 7: and those guys that come in under those side dishes

282
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 7: are extremely important. And they have guys down there that

283
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 7: can get other people out.

284
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: Believe me, they do.

285
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 7: Even though that you look at it and say, oh, man,

286
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 7: he's not getting you know, he's not throwing strikes or whatever.

287
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 7: But they have other guys down there that can do

288
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 7: the job. And you know, you saw what Emmachion did.

289
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 7: He came in and did a pretty darn good job,

290
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 7: and for what it's worth, I don't think that trying

291
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 7: to throw the ball that bad. He made one bad

292
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 7: pitch to real Muto, but other than that, he gave

293
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 7: up a lot of weak contact, which is what you want.

294
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 7: You want weak contact or strikeouts, and that's what he

295
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 7: gave you.

296
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 5: Top two favorite side dishes for Steve Sacks.

297
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: My top two favorites dishes.

298
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 7: Well, if Roki is the main course down there right now,

299
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 7: you got to say that alex Vesia is Is is

300
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 7: looking pretty darn good. And I think she had her too,

301
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 7: you know, a righty lefty combination that you can bring

302
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 7: in from the bullpen. Clayton Is is certainly a guy.

303
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 7: What about Anthony Banda? We haven't heard anything from him?

304
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 7: Is he is he available?

305
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 6: I was gonna go with mac and cheese and baked potato,

306
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 6: But if you want to go with Sasaki and then, yeah, okay,

307
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 6: you can go with those guys. But I'm a baked

308
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 6: potato guy and a mac and cheese guy all day long.

309
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: Okay, got it, got it? Okay.

310
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 7: I skipped in her last night, Yeah I was, I

311
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 7: wasn't you know what I'm trying to do is listen

312
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 7: to my body. And if I'm not hungry, I'm not

313
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,520

328
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 7: like that, and you know, and then I try to,

329
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 7: you know, kind of put it in a thinning process

330
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 7: as the day goes on.

331
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: Lunch is a.

332
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 7: Little smaller than breakfast, and and sometimes dinner is really small,

333
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 7: but it's it's definitely not a fatting dinner.

334
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 5: Let's go out to the phones. Thank you for being patient.

Speaker 10: we got a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of grit.

349
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,560

00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 10: So let's go, Dodgers, let's go.

354
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 7: Let's get it all right, Eric, great question, Eric, Thank

355
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 7: you for calling and appreciate your kind words. What I

356
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 7: want to tell you, though, you have to listen to

357
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 7: the end of the show. This is called the teas

358
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 7: and I'm gonna give you my keys to the game

359
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 7: and for what I think is going to happen with

360
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 7: the with the team.

361
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: So you got to listen to the end of the show.

362
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: Is that good, Tim?

363
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 5: That's perfect?

364
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: Okay, okay good.

365
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 7: You know, as far as stepping up, Tim, I'm you know, kinda.

366
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 7: I think everybody's stepping up pretty good. Look, here's what

367
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 7: we can't get lost in is that everybody's gonna go

368
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 7: out and be four for four every day.

369
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen. That's not baseball.

370
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

371
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 7: You know, one day you don't see production from one guy,

372
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 7: but you know everybod body else pitched in the next day.

373
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: And maybe a flip.

374
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 7: Maybe that guy that was great the first day is

375
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 7: not so good the second ay. But you have guys

376
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 7: picking him up. So I would say, if it's not broke,

377
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 7: don't fix it. And I think you just kind of

378
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 7: let this team breathe and do what they're doing now

379
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 7: and just don't.

380
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: Say too much.

381
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 7: I'm of the old opinion that sometimes you need to

382
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 7: throw batting practice, you need to hit some ground balls and.

383
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of the way. Let these professionals

384
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: do what they do. Bet they know what to do.

385
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 7: Sometimes, you know, with all the analysis we have, with

386
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 7: all the spray charts and whatnot. When I was coaching

387
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 7: with the d Backs. I go down there in the

388
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 7: dugout and it looked like some outing or some you know,

389
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 7: retreat for Google. I mean, there was so much information

390
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 7: and spray charts and binders and papers everywhere, and this

391
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 7: stacks for hitters, and this is for pitchers, and here's

392
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 7: where you play them. And my lord, we're playing baseball.

393
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 7: That's all we're doing. So throw him BP, hit him

394
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 7: Grandpas and get out of the way. Man, let him

395
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 7: go play.

396
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 5: I love it. I love it. Use that paper and

397
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 5: just recycle it.

398
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: Gear.

399
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: It is just blacking baseball. Tim and Pasadena, thanks you

400
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 6: for being patient. You're next up on Sax and Kates

401
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 6: in the Am here live in local talking Dodgers baseball.

402
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 6: How you doing, Tim, Hey guys, how are you today?

403
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Great?

404
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 7: Dan?

405
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 10: Hi?

406
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 11: Tim So, I actually wanted to piggyback on what Steve said.

407
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 11: So much of what we talk about is he's absolute

408
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 11: trying to pitch bad. Roki pitched, well, okay, I'm looking

409
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 11: at that game, looking at those pitches. Alec Bahum gets

410
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 11: a base hit up the middle on what I thought

411
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 11: was a good pitch inside fastball. She kind of jammed

412
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 11: and him. If that goes right to Mookie, we're talking

413
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 11: about how great Blake was. Real Muto, that's a high fastball.

414
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 11: Right handers are going to swing through that eighty percent

415
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 11: of the time he gets he gets contact, and of

416
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 11: course Testianos and then Roki comes in and Trey kind

417
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 11: of smokes that ball. If that's twenty feet to the right.

418
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 11: We're talking about how he blew the saves. So we

419
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 11: love to get caught up in these absolut lose But

420
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 11: don't you think like we're overreacting about how great Rokie

421
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 11: was and how and this is baseball, right, I mean

422
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 11: all those fastballs down the middle to Swoerber and and

423
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 11: Harper that they missed one of those guys hits it.

424
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 11: We're talking about that being a mistake, right, Yep. It's

425
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 11: so weird, Sax. He helped me understand that about baseball,

426
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 11: about like if a guy hits a pitch, it's a mistake.

427
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 11: If he doesn't hit it, it's a great pitch.

428
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: All right.

429
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 7: No, you're on it, Tim, Tim, thanks for the call,

430
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 7: and you want me to take this absolutely absolutely, Tim, Tim,

431
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 7: Tim too. Uh So, I think Tim's all over it.

432
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 7: He's right, that's the way it is in baseball. If

433
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 7: you know, if they get a base hit to right field,

434
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 7: if that's you know, ten feet the other way.

435
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: Because it was hit pretty well.

436
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 7: We're talking about the ball by Rokie, uh you know,

437
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 7: and then it's a different story, you know, the one

438
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 7: that real Muto hit. He hit the ball pretty good.

439
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 7: You saw what happened. The fastball was up. When that

440
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 7: fastball is up, it's a two seamer. It doesn't do anything.

441
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 7: It doesn't flatten out, it doesn't have the same when

442
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 7: it has that downward plow to the ball moves and darts,

443
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 7: and that's what makes Blake trying good.

444
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: When the ball's up, it's flat and doesn't do anything.

445
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: You give him one.

446
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 7: Okay, so it wasn't a perfect pitch, but you know

447
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 7: he still had to hit it. He still had good

448
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 7: velocity and was an inside pitch. You just tip your

449
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 7: cap to real Muto. It wasn't the greatest pitch from

450
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 7: trying to but he got a lot of soft contact.

451
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 7: The ball that was hit up the middle by Boom, Okay,

452
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 7: that's what you call being blocked off.

453
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: Okay, he blocked that ball. He didn't kind of roll

454
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: it over.

455
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 7: He stayed through it like you're hitting a tennis ball

456
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 7: and just kind of finished right through the baseball, didn't

457
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 7: hit it really hard, but he just kind of blocked

458
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 7: it off with his bat and didn't turn over on it.

459
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 7: And Dusty Baker talks about that a lot when he

460
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 7: talks about hitting, about blocking balls that are middle in

461
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: Tony Gwynn was great at this to kind of block

462
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 7: it and you don't really smoke the ball, but it's

463
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 7: kind of a line drive or it's hit hard enough

464
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 7: on the ground to get through up the middle for

465
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 7: a base hit. And Boem did a great job at

466
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 7: doing that. Not a lot of hitters can do that.

467
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 7: But you know, it wasn't a you know, a ball

468
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 7: that was smoked. So you know if that's you know,

469
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 7: a couple of feet to the other way and Mookie gets.

470
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: It, oh trying and pitched great. You know. Look, so

471
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: it's all relative.

472
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 7: And I think Tim the caller was all over it,

473
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 7: and he was absolutely right.

474
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, sometimes the baseball finds the grass, sometimes it finds

475
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 6: the holes out there. For whatever reason. You can saw

476
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 6: off a guy, I mean, Keiky Hernanda's hit a ball

477
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 6: thirty miles off the bat shattered. His bat went like

478
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 6: sixty five feet to share he got past the pitcher

479
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 6: right and the Dodgers scored a run. I mean, you

480
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 6: can't say that exactly exactly.

481
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 7: The thing is, Tim, he didn't strike out right. That's

482
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 7: what makes it good is there's listen. Strikeouts are like drugs, man,

483
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 7: There is no benefit whatsoever for striking out, Just like

484
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 7: taking a drug.

485
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: What's the benefit? It is none. So if you can

486
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: put the ball in play like Kik did.

487
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 6: And you know it kind of changed the game, Yeah, yeah,

488
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 6: no doubt about it. And the Dodger's up to oh

489
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 6: now on this LDS the chance to close it out tonight.

490
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: Who knows he'll get hot.

491
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 6: The Dodgers hope the balls flying out of the stadium

492
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 6: tonight from their bats as they got yamamoda on the mount.

493
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: Aaron Nola, the right hander, will go for.

494
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 6: The Phillies Game three tonight, sixho eight, first pitch. We

495
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,959

504
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 6: local during this October run nine straight years. Saxon Kate's

505
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 6: in the am riding along with you shotgun during the

506
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 6: Dodgers road to a World Series Championship. And they hope

507
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 6: that road ends like it did a year ago at

508
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 6: Dodger Stadium with a celebration for a World Series Championship

509
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 6: here in twenty twenty five. They got to take care

510
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 6: of business first, though, and that's the fight in Phills,

511
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 6: who are gonna throw everything they have at the Dodgers tonight,

512
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 6: including changing up their uniforms because they can win in

513
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 6: those blue uniforms. They feel better than they can their

514
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 6: road grays. And they're trying everything I want. If they're

515
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 6: going to change up their pregame meals to Saxy, their

516
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 6: routine different until the bus driver, Hey, sir, take a

517
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 6: different route, if you will, from the hotel to the stadium.

518
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 6: Make a right here instead of going straight because we

519
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 6: just need to change up the mojo of how we

520
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 6: get to the stadium.

521
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 7: Now, I know how the Phillies could really change it

522
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 7: and make it substantive, but I almost don't want to

523
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 7: say it. But I can tell you how they could.

524
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 7: They could really kind of take the Dodger crowd out

525
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 7: and have don't even say it.

526
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 6: You shouldn't be thinking it, by the way, because you're

527
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 6: putting it out there, and.

528
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: Definitely say it, you know.

529
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 7: I do know, I do know, and I think it

530
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 7: would I think it would probably make a bit of

531
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 7: a difference.

532
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: You want to just say it kind of maybe you

533
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: know what I'll say in the next hour.

534
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, but.

535
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 7: But you know, I'm just saying that there's an outside

536
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 7: chance they may do this. They may do something, because

537
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 7: it's drastic times, you know, take drastic measures, absolutely, and

538
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 7: I think there's there's a possibility they may do this.

539
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 7: So I just want to alert, you know, the people,

540
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 7: the Dodger fans to get ready for something, and I'll

541
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 7: tell you next hour. All right, But it's real.

542
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 6: I'm not just saying that the Phillies all hands on

543
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 6: deck and they're doing so with two of their starters

544
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 6: going in Game three tonight, Aaron Nola, the right hander,

545
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 6: will start things off. We give you the numbers how

546
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 6: he gets worse as the lineup turns over for a

547
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 6: second and a third time. Ranger Suarez will back him

548
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 6: up afterwards the left hander, who is also a starter

549
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 6: in this rotation.

550
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 5: The Dodgers, though.

551
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 6: Gonna go with Yoshinoba Yamamoto and then the bullpen ready

552
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 6: to go. Not sure if Image Sheen after twenty seven

553
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 6: pitches two days ago, can get back up on that

554
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 6: mountain pitch. We'll see if it's more of a Clayton

555
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 6: Kershaw coming out of the bullpen to maybe eat up

556
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 6: sad Indians as a long reliever. Certainly, the game itself

557
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: will dictate where they're at. But I loved hearing Kersh

558
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 6: with David Vass. In case you missed it, David had

559
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 6: Clayton Kershaw right at the beginning of Dodger Talk last night.

560
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 6: As the Dodgers were wrapping up their workouts at Dodger Stadium.

561
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 6: David had Kersh call in to Dodger Talk right at

562
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 6: the beginning, and it was a great conversation about his

563
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 6: new role and kind of walking Dodger fans through his

564
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 6: mindset of how he gets ready and Dave. Dave joked

565
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 6: in the interview and said, you were getting loose in

566
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 6: game two, and he says, I wasn't getting loose.

567
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 5: David goes, yeah, we heard you were down there moving around.

568
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: He goes, I was moving around, Dave, because I'm old

569
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 6: and I had to get the body going.

570
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 5: I can't just sit there the entire.

571
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 7: See Dave, Dave can push the envelope a little bit

572
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 7: because you know, he's got that kind of clout.

573
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 2: With these guys.

574
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 7: Absolutely, he's been around, he has meals with them.

575
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: You know he's gonna trust him.

576
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 5: They trust him.

577
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 7: He's got a bromance with Blake Snell. Now, I mean

578
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 7: he's they like David. I mean, but what's not to

579
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 7: like about Navid. I mean, he's he's got that kind

580
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 7: of clout now.

581
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 6: I mean, he gets the best out of all these

582
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 6: guys and gets very candid responses and very honest responses,

583
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 6: which is great. And you know, like I said, they

584
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 6: trust him, he trusts them. So, uh, the listener and

585
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 6: all of us benefit from that when we get to

586
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 6: hear great radio like we did last night. In case

587
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 6: you missed it, we had it in the first hour

588
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 6: of the show, and you can also podcast and of

589
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 6: course on the Dodger Talk podcast on iHeartRadio apps. That

590
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 6: was great stuff with Clayton Kershaw and David Veste. We'll

591
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 6: hear from Mookie Betts coming up. David's actually gonna join

592
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 6: us next hour as well. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven,

593
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 6: two five seventy. Let's go to Phil and you're Belnda.

594
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 6: Thanks for being patient. Welcome to Saxon Kates and the am.

595
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 6: How you doing Phil?

596
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: Good?

597
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: Hey, First of all, thanks so much for your show.

598
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 4: Love it, love it, love it. You guys are awesome. Steve,

599
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: I got to dispute you on trying and he hasn't

600
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: earned the benefit of a doubt based on his last month.

601
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 4: And you know, he's had a proclivity to walk folks,

602
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 4: and I just think his confidence isn't there, and it

603
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 4: showed even the other night, even though he said he

604
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: made some decent pitches. I don't necessarily disagree, but you know,

605
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: he just hasn't had it in the last month, and

606
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: so I think that impacted even that last outing that

607
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 4: he had.

608
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 6: All right, Peil, appreciate the phone call. I'm a pushback,

609
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 6: just a little bit on that he didn't have it

610
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 6: the last month. I'll disagree, because in the two games

611
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 6: against the Reds in the wildcard round, didn't walk a

612
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 6: batter in an inning, and a third gave up one

613
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 6: hit in a combined inning, and a third struck out

614
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 6: two batters in a combined inning, and a third pitched

615
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 6: well in the NL Wildcard series. Go back before that,

616
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 6: the last series of the regular season, he pitched two

617
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 6: in the three games in Seattle, gave up just one

618
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 6: run while striking out three in his two outings against

619
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 6: the Mariners. Before that, a third of an inning, no runs,

620
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: give it up against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now every other

621
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 6: the game kind of before that, it was a good game,

622
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 6: bad game, good game, bad game. But the last week,

623
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 6: week and a half now he's been pretty good, you know,

624
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 6: and then he has the hiccup in Philadelphia. But that's

625
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 6: why he trusts Blake Trining Dave Roberts is because he's

626
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 6: been there. He feels he can bounce back. Even if

627
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 6: he had a rough out in the time before, which

628
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 6: he didn't, he trust that he'll come out there and

629
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 6: give him everything. And you know, on paper he should

630
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 6: have a good outing the next time out, because that's

631
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 6: what he's been having the last two weeks.

632
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I understand, I understand feels a sentiment on

633
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 7: this where, you know, the bar has been raised pretty

634
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 7: high for Blake Trning, so we we kind of expect

635
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 7: to see him just you know, break bats and more

636
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 7: people down and not give up a hit and and

637
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 7: that type of thing. But you know, he's a human

638
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 7: being and he's gonna go through these, uh, these you know,

639
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 7: these fits and starts of of not being perfect. But

640
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 7: I think for the most part, he threw the ball

641
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 7: pretty well. I've seen him throw it better. But but nonetheless,

642
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 7: you're gonna need him. You're not gonna go out there

643
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 7: and just deal with a couple of relievers the whole through.

644
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,719
Speaker 7: You gotta win thirteen games to win a world title,

645
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 7: and you're going to need guys like Blake trying in

646
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 7: and the other the other guys down there too, to

647
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 7: carry some of this load when the when the starters

648
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 7: are not in the game, there's just no other way

649
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 7: to do it.

650
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: So you're you're gonna have to live with it.

651
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 6: The reality is Rokie Susaki, folks, and I hope I'm

652
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 6: not breaking news to somebody driving right now, maybe listening.

653
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 6: Rookie Sasaki is not gonna be perfect. Rookie Sasaki is

654
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 6: not gonna have clean innings the rest of his professional career.

655
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: He's gonna have hiccups. And guess what, maybe some of

656
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 6: those hiccups, and we hope it doesn't happen. Happened this

657
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 6: postseason in his new role as a closer. Now again,

658
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 6: we hope that doesn't happen. But the game of baseball,

659
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 6: nobody is perfect. Nobody has ever been perfect, nobody will

660
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 6: ever be perfect. There are hiccups, they're blemishes, they are

661
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 6: bad outings, they're bad innings, they're bad at bats. To

662
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 6: get away from you, it is going to happen, and

663
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 6: happens to everybody. What happens when it does happen to

664
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 6: Rookie Susaki. A Dodger fan's gonna just abandon Rokie and say,

665
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 6: all right, that's it. Gave up a hit, gave up

666
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 6: a walk off, walked in a run, that's it. Let's

667
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 6: go worst trying. Why didn't we go to Trenton? I mean,

668
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 6: you can't keep doing this. Yes, he's hot right now,

669
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 6: and we all hope fingers crossed. Yes, looking up to

670
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 6: the baseball heaveans. We hope that he is perfect the

671
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 6: rest of October. We all hope so. But the reality

672
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 6: is he may have a blemish. Then what you may

673
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 6: have to go to another arm in the bullpen.

674
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: That's why you.

675
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 6: Can't just shut off the valve and just say all right,

676
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 6: it's all Sasaki all the time.

677
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: Every game you didn't bring in Tanner Scott, why not?

678
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear that.

679
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 7: And you know, hey, you know what, I'm not just

680
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 7: saying that he may be able to add some help

681
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 7: in this too.

682
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: You may need Tanner Scott. You may need him to

683
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: come in and do it.

684
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 7: And I know people say, wow, boy, Steve, No, I'm

685
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 7: telling you. I'm telling you this guy. Sometimes when you

686
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 7: get into the new season, and we are into a

687
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 7: new season, this is a third season of baseball in

688
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 7: and of itself in one year, because you have spring training,

689
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 7: regular season, postseason. You know, sometimes the flip, the script

690
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 7: gets flipped. He may come out, you may have Tanner

691
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 7: Scott come out here to get one lefty out and

692
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 7: he just you know, just goes right through him. And

693
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden, in the next game he

694
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 7: starts an ending, he goes right through him and all

695
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 7: of a sudden he's back. You know this is oh

696
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 7: my god, this is a guy that we signed and

697
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 7: we knew was gonna happen. I would not be surprised

698
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 7: at all if that happened. I seen it happen many

699
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 7: times before. I would not be surprised.

700
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 6: Let's go to Edgar and Carson joins us here on

701
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 6: Saxon Kates to the am.

702
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: You're a home of the Dodgers, A FI seventy l

703
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 5: A sports. How you doing, Edgar?

704
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 3: Good, Good morning, scam. Good to be on with you

705
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: guys again. It's killing pumped about this game three. You're

706
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 3: almost gonna deal tonight. I feel like and hopefully the

707
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: offense can get him some runs. Wish we'll thinking and

708
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: hopefully we do have a good lead, and I feel

709
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 3: like this is a good spot to go off what

710
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: you were saying, Kates, this is a good ought to

711
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: see kersh. Get him some work in, get him maybe

712
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 3: a few innings in the later innings today, and then

713
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: get them ready for the NLCS. Thanks guys, all right, Edgar.

714
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 5: I appreciate the phone call.

715
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 6: I would love a scenario and I don't want this

716
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 6: to be the case, but I would enjoy seeing it,

717
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 6: I guess is a better way to see it. A

718
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 6: tight game. Maybe the Dodgers have the lead late in

719
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 6: the sixth or seventh and you need a final out

720
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 6: and you need a left hander to come out of

721
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 6: the bullpen. Maybe you need two thirds of an inning,

722
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 6: Maybe you need a clean inning to get to the

723
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 6: back end of the bullpen. Wouldn't it be a great

724
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 6: situation to have Clayton Kershaw come in, have that nasty

725
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 6: over the hand curveball, slider, fastball end there and just

726
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 6: change things up on the Phillies, different eyeside, different different look,

727
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 6: and have him come out of the bullpen in his

728
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 6: new role. I think he would relish it and Dodger

729
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 6: Stadium would be electric. Be a seed number twenty two

730
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 6: coming out of there and hearing fun play that song

731
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 6: as he makes his way out to the bullpen. I

732
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 6: think that'd be a great scenario to have him come

733
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 6: in the game and just.

734
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 7: His experience, you know, to to come out and do

735
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 7: that would be would be pretty amazing.

736
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 2: Hete Tim.

737
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 7: If I have a second tier, sure, I want to

738
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 7: just kind of put these numbers out here and look,

739
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 7: these are just numbers, and I looked up some of

740
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 7: Tanner Scott's year this year, which you know, it wasn't

741
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 7: a great year.

742
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: It wasn't what he normally does. He's been an All

743
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: Star before.

744
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 7: Uh, but this guy struck out more than one an inning,

745
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 7: so that's really good. His whip was about one point two,

746
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 7: which is really good. He gave up fewer hits than

747
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 7: innings pitched, which is really good. I mean, you look

748
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 7: some of some of his internal metrics right here, and

749
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 7: people would would love to have some of his numbers,

750
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 7: you know. And I and I know his ZRA was

751
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 7: four seventy four and he was wondered for with a

752
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 7: four to seventy four.

753
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: Get it, totally get it.

754
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 7: But across the board, you know, people would love to

755
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 7: have some of Tanner Scott's numbers this year and what

756
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 7: he put out there. So I'm just saying, you know it,

757
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 7: when you come into this new season and postseason, you know,

758
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 7: don't count the guy totally out.

759
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: You may need him.

760
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 7: And if he comes in and does the job, what's

761
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 7: people going to say, then he's totally capable of doing it.

762
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 5: He is capable of doing it.

763
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 6: That's why they gave him the four year, seventy two

764
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 6: million dollar deal to help Leaver. Yeah, to help buls

765
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,479
Speaker 6: of this bullpen along with Kirby Yates. And now Kirby

766
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 6: Yates is even on the postseason roster and Tanner Scott

767
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 6: hasn't been used yet in this NLDS. Tanner Scott's also

768
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 6: got a number next to him, and that number is

769
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 6: blown saves. In twenty twenty five, he's got ten blown saves.

770
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

771
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 7: Like I said, there's parts of this were not good

772
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 7: at all. Look at his era four seventy four. You

773
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 7: can't have that as a reliever. You know, you got

774
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 7: to come in there and throw strikes and get a

775
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 7: head of hitters. And that's part of the deal too.

776
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 7: That's why you know his his blown saves is what

777
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 7: it is because it's behind the count and then hitters,

778
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 7: you know, kind of dig in on him.

779
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 6: This was brought up by our good friend Tracy about

780
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 6: maybe he is mister October. I mean, key Y Hernandez

781
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 6: is not a great regular season player. There's not a

782
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 6: slam on him. That's just a reality. He's a good player.

783
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 6: Over the course of one hundred and sixty two he

784
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 6: plays everywhere. Yeah, and in October he flips the switch,

785
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 6: and he becomes super key k for the Dodgers and

786
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 6: has done over the course of his career in a

787
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 6: Dodger uniform. Maybe Tanner Scott is different in October. Maybe

788
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 6: he flips the switch. We just haven't seen now. Will

789
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 6: that be the case, I don't know, but maybe right.

790
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 7: Well, will Dave be a little bit reticent about bringing

791
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 7: him in in a tight situation? Probably yes, I would

792
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 7: think I would think maybe maybe give him an opportunity to,

793
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 7: you know, either way, if they're way behind, their way ahead,

794
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 7: to gobblesome innings up and kind of, you know, let

795
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 7: him be part of the strength, if you will, when

796
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 7: it it's a little bit tighter.

797
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: If he is going through some of.

798
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 7: These innings and getting people out, then he's kind of

799
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 7: earned that opportunity to come in as part of the

800
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 7: strength when it gets a little bit more dicey. So

801
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 7: I think that's where that's going to go.

802
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 6: It's interesting if he weren't available, if he weren't good

803
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 6: enough to get guys out, he wouldn't be on this

804
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 6: twenty six man roster. Let's be honest, he'd be on

805
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 6: the I L somewhere with let's say inflammation in the

806
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 6: elbow ten to nightis in the knee.

807
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 2: Lower back pain.

808
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, one of those injuries, and we wouldn't see

809
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 6: him even on the postseason roster. So the fact that

810
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 6: he is one of the relievers on this roster leads

811
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 6: to me to believe that they still got confidence in

812
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 6: him and they still plan on using him at some

813
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 6: point in this NLDS. Now that could change when they

814
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 6: change the roster in the NLCS. So the Dodgers are

815
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 6: so fortunate.

816
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 5: To get there.

817
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 6: But I think of a guy like Ben Caspirius, right

818
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 6: handed arm, no doubt about it, not a lefty like

819
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 6: Tanner Skis. But if you wanted another right arm like

820
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 6: Ben Conspiraus, he could have been on the roster instead

821
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 6: of a Tanner Scott. But here we are. Tanner Scott's

822
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 6: one of those guys in the bullpen, and I expect

823
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 6: we will see him at some point, God willing come

824
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 6: out of that Dodger bullpen.

825
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: Tim Tim, are you are you?

826
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 7: Are you eager to say how good was Tanner Scott yesterday?

827
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 7: I mean if he was, would you would you be

828
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 7: out there and putting it out there or would you

829
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 7: just kind of as water down a little bit, because

830
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 7: you know, you're kind of down on him.

831
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 2: A little bit.

832
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 6: As the kids say, I would give him his flowers,

833
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 6: but it would be a small bouquet of flowers. I

834
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 6: wouldn't be a giant flower arrangement that sense. It would

835
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 6: be a small, little bouquet.

836
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: It's not going to be a vast a snail thing.

837
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no.

838
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 7: No, that's that's that's bordering on cuddling, you know what

839
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 7: I mean.

840
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 5: Really, it works.

841
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 6: Whatever it works, it works, and let's hope that Tanner

842
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 6: Scott works.

843
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 5: In October.

844
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,120

Speaker 6: and a reminder for all of you going to Dodger

869
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 6: Stadium tonight. You saw what Citizens Bank Park was like.

870
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 6: You saw what the crowd was like for Games one.

871
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 6: In Game two, when things were going right for the Phillies,

872
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 6: that place was loud. That crowd was on their feet

873
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 6: an two count against the Dodger hitter, they were all

874
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 6: on their feet, cheering on their picture for a strikeout.

875
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 6: I expect Dodger Stadium all postseason a long, not just tonight.

876
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 6: God forbid, there's a game for tomorrow. But moving forward,

877
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 6: the Dodgers able to advance every two strike. People should

878
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 6: be on their feet every time the Dodgers have a

879
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 6: rally going. The home field presence at Dodger Stadium has

880
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 6: to be felt. That has to be just coming through

881
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 6: the radio airwaves, just bleeding with crowd noise. It should

882
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 6: be coming through the TV wherever you're watching a game.

883
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 6: The crowd noise at Dodger Stadium. It should be electric,

884
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 6: not just when the Dodgers hit a home run and

885
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 6: the music's going and the lights are blaring. No, no, no,

886
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 6: Make sure Yamamoto feels it. Make sure Yamamoto knows that

887
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 6: when he's ahead of account and about to finish off

888
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,960

00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 5: Oh Toronto. They got great fans at Rogers Center.

894
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 3: Oh.

895
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 6: Look in Seattle, sold out crowd. The Mariner fans are

896
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 6: electric gear. They haven't had postseason baseball in twenty four years.

919
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 7: for a second. And you know the games I've seen

920
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 7: the ones at the ravine and Dodger Stadium. The Dodger

921
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 7: fans have done just what you've said. I see the

922
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 7: view from centerfield to home plate. Everybody's out of their seat.

923
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 7: They're cheering there, everybody's standing up. They're not they're not

924
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 7: looking to find Rob Low. They're they're into the game.

925
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 7: I mean, seriously, I've seen the fans. I've seen kind

926
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 7: of a transformation, if you will, over the years. The

927
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 7: fans are more in it now. They they I don't

928
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 7: know if it's because of the you know the Dodgers,

929
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 7: you know the way they hype it up with the

930
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 7: lights and the music, and you know, Helen Dell's not

931
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 7: there anymore. She's I love Helen, but you know this

932
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 7: is new this is new times, and the Dodger fans,

933
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 7: from my perspective of watching it on TV, are way

934
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 7: in this. They're in this. They've stepped over the line

935
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 7: and they're committed. Well, well, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying.

936
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not smacking up to the fan. I'm

937
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 7: just saying that's what I see. I want it to

938
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 7: stay that way.

939
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 6: I want Dodger Stadium to be electric for nine innings.

940
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 6: I want them to help this Dodgers team get to

941
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 6: an NLCS and to think, how can I help?

942
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 5: Be on your feet, be loud, be cheering, be supportive.

943
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 6: When Yamamoto gets out of an inning, if it's a

944
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 6: tough inning, if it's a high leverage inning, if it's

945
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 6: a one, two, three inning, get off your butt, get

946
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 6: up and start cheering for him, and make sure he

947
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 6: knows you're supporting him for his effort out there on

948
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 6: the mound and get this Dodger Stadium crowd electric from

949
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 6: the get go, the opening pitch through the final out.

950
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 7: I think the Dodger fans are like the players. Hey,

951
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 7: we're all human beings and they can smell the blood

952
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 7: in the water. I think the fans can smell it, man,

953
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 7: they can, and I think they're gonna be in it.

954
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 7: I think in when the introductions are gonna be made tonight,

955
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 7: I think the place is gonna be full, and I

956
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 7: think they're gonna be not in their seats very much.

957
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 7: I think that's what we're getting tonight. Because you've got

958
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 7: these guys really on the ropes. You gotta take them out.

959
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 7: You gotta take them out tonight. Yeah, that's why the

960
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 7: fan needs to be that tenth man. There's nine guys

961
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 7: on the field, be that tenth man in the crowd.

962
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 7: Make it so it's a home field advantage to its

963
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 7: truest sense. Hey, Tim, like you're in the mix, You're
