74

00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,240

00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,160

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: he's a guy who's got no major league experience, no

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: professional experience, but they're gonna take a dive just like

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones did on a certain head coach out of

82
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: the University of Miami, Jerry Johnson way back in the

83
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: day to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: Sort of kind of feels like that. So we'll get

85
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: into that coming up as well. But we got an

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: exciting three hours coming up here between six and nine

87
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: am this morning. Later on today, by the way, in Toronto,

88
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: it is media day for both the Dodgers and the

89
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: Toronto Blue Jays as they will meet the assembled national

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: and international media, get all those great questions from the

91
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: different media, and then of course both teams will go

92
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: through workouts at the Rogers Center. We'll here for both

93
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: managers in both Game one starting pitchers coming up as well.

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: But Saxy, we are in for a treat. We are

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: often running on this Thursday morning, and we start with

96
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: a bang. He is the voice of the Dodgers and

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: during October he is the voice of the MLB on Fox.

98
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: He will be calling this World Series with John Smoltze,

99
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: just as fresh off calling the Alcs that went to

100
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: seven games and had the most viewers in Canada in

101
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: decades watching Blue Jays baseball. He is the one and

102
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: only Joe Davis, and he joins us here on a

103
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: five seventy LA Sports, your home of the Dodgers, right

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: out of the games, right out of the shoot the

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 2: Great Joe Davis. Joe, good morning, how you doing, buddy?

106
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: I'm even better after hearing you hype me up like that.

107
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 4: I need to take you with me wherever I go.

108
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up, Joe? Joe?

109
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 2: I will go everywhere with you, buddy. How you doing, Buddy.

110
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 5: Good. Good to hear you, Joe.

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is exciting here we are US Canada, Dodgers,

112
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. But first off, your fresh off calling this ALCS.

113
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: So you've been around this Blue Jays team for the

114
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: better part of a couple of weeks. Now they went

115
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: deep into the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners. That Rogers Center,

116
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: that city, Canada. How fired up are they right now?

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: For Blue Jays baseball?

118
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: It's the loudest building I've ever been in Monday night.

119
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: And now, granted there's seven and it was a game

120
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: seven winning home run that made it shake, But even

121
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: before Springer's omrun, it's as loud as any place I've

122
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: ever been in, and then that moment in particular, the

123
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 4: loudest building that I've ever been in. So they are

124
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: beyond fired up. To say there's a buzz is an understatement.

125
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: It's going to be an amazing environment.

126
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: Wow, Joe, great to be with you today.

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 6: You know, if I'm the Blue Jays, it might be

128
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 6: a good position to be in that You're probably going

129
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 6: to be the.

130
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 5: Underdog, is to say the least.

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 6: You look over on the other side of the field

132
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 6: and you see all these players are just absolutely off

133
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 6: the chart.

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: I think what speaks.

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 6: Loudly is the Dodgers nine to oher when their starters

136
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 6: go at least five innes. I think that says it.

137
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 6: I mean, this team is just so stopped with starting pitching.

138
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 6: The Blue Jays have to look over there and say, man,

139
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 6: what are we in for here? Is this a good

140
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 6: position for the Blue Jays to be in? Or how

141
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 6: about just being the underdog might just be able to

142
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 6: satiate them a little bit.

143
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that there's something to the idea of

144
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 4: they have been the underdog all year. They were in

145
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: last place. They finished it last place last year, so

146
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: nobody really expected they would do this. Two months into

147
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: the season they were still below five hundred. They for

148
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: a lot of the summer after that took off and

149
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 4: looked like the best team in the American League, but

150
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: still had doubters. Peop would point to their run differential

151
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: and say, ah, they're not actually that good. And then

152
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: you get into September and they've led the division the

153
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: whole second half. But then here come the Yankees. Everybody said, Okay,

154
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 4: now he's in. The Blue Jays really crumble. Same thing

155
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: in the Championships years down two oh, down, three to

156
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: two down in Game seven. But they seem to just

157
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: when you write them off, find a way to figure

158
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: it out and be their best. So I don't think

159
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 4: that they'll be uncomfortable at all being the underdog.

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe, we watched this Dodger team throughout the season,

161
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: the bullpen struggles, the injuries. Yamamoto and Clayton Kershaw are

162
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: really the two horses that carried the starting rotation through

163
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: the regular season and then come on till now this

164
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: rotation is elite with these four guys who are absolutely fantastic,

165
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: and it's weird. A year ago the bullpen was all

166
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: about the Dodger pitching and saved them in October and

167
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: carried them to a World Series pitching wise, and now

168
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: this year it's all about this starting pitching and how

169
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: dominant it has become here at the right time of

170
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: the year.

171
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And just to give you a little context to

172
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 4: what you're talking about, last year, the bullpen covered just

173
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: under sixty percent of the innings in the postseason. This year,

174
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: the rotations at seventy percent of the innings. So not

175
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: just Dodger related turnaround, but really baseball related turnaround, because

176
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 4: relievers have carried the torch for the entire league the

177
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: last I don't know decade almost so seeing the Dodger

178
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 4: starters do this, it's awesome. I think that we all

179
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: agree starters going deep is good for baseball, and you know,

180
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 4: to have the honest the days that and I talk

181
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: like I'm some old guy or something, but even when

182
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 4: I was a kid, seeing the starting pitching match and

183
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 4: knowing that you were going to have those guys in

184
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 4: a game today is going to be you know, I

185
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: don't know, it's going to be John Smoltz against Carrie Wood. Awesome,

186
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 4: I know what I'm getting in that ball game. These days,

187
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 4: you can look at the starters and chances are they're

188
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 4: not going to be in the game that long, And

189
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: chances are because they're not, you don't know them as

190
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: well as you did John Smoltzen. Carry would to go

191
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 4: back to that example. So it's a roundabout way. It's in,

192
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: you know, as kind of a side angle here, How

193
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 4: great would this be if this led the way to

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: baseball shifting back to leaning on starting pitching a little

195
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: bit more. As far as what the Dodgers have here,

196
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: it's what we all envision. This is why everybody talked

197
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: about this could be the team that sets the wins record.

198
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: I just still come longer to get there because of

199
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: the health and because of the human nature. How hard

200
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: it is, I think, to push that boulder up the

201
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 4: mountain again.

202
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, Joe, when I look at these two teams,

203
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 6: you know, obviously the Dodgers are built to slug and

204
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 6: difference now that they have such depth in their starting

205
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 6: pitching compared to last year, they had to do it

206
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 6: through the bullpen. But this team over there with Toronto,

207
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: I mean, they don't strike out, they put the ball

208
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 6: in play, they play defense, they do all those other

209
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 6: things that aren't so much in fashion nowadays. Is this

210
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 6: a struggle between, you know, the new way of hitting

211
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 6: and approaching baseball and compared to maybe a little bit

212
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 6: of old school.

213
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 4: I think that there may be I know what you're saying,

214
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: but I think that that is getting overblown a little bit,

215
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 4: that this is this contrast in styles. Yeah, the Dodgers

216
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 4: hit a lot of home runs, but it's not like

217
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: the Dodgers are up there, you know, with what we

218
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 4: saw a few years ago across baseball trying to launch

219
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: everything and who cares about strikeouts? And they still they're

220
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 4: a really disciplined, tough bunch to get out. And conversely,

221
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 4: it's not like the Blue Jays are this plucky bat

222
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: to the ball bunch. They fit more home runs than

223
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: any team in the postseason, so I think, yeah, there

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 4: is something to the personality. The Dodgers have some real

225
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: brute strengths in there that can't the ball a long ways,

226
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: and yeah, the Blue Jays have some pesky bat to

227
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: ball guys, but it's not all that either way. I

228
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 4: think that they both are pretty darn well rounded.

229
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: Joe Davis with us here on five seventy LA Sports

230
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: as we get ready for Game one of the World

231
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: Series tomorrow night. Joe will be calling it for the

232
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: MLB on Fox along with John Spoltz. For you, Joe,

233
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: to call a World Series, to have it be the

234
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: Dodgers in back to back years. Last year Dodgers Yankees.

235
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: Now it's the Dodgers in Blue Jays US versus Canada,

236
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: two big markets. How exciting is this for you to

237
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: be on this big stage.

238
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: That's the best this is. I've said it many times,

239
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 4: but it's what I dreamt of doing and not just

240
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 4: you know, announcing sports. But if you would ask me

241
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: as a kid, what do you want to do? I

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 4: would have said, I want to call the World Series.

243
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 4: So I pinched myself all the time, and I try

244
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: to let that you know, that gratitude that I have

245
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: for the appreciation that I have for this chair broadcasts,

246
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 4: and and let that joy and that appreciation and and

247
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: that like almost just awe that I have for the

248
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: chance that I get to do this hopefully hopefully infuse

249
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 4: it with some fun and some passion that people can enjoy.

250
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, hey, Joe, you know, looking at the Dodger situation

251
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 6: with their bullpen. Of course Sasaki down there at the

252
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: end has been lights out, a little shaky on his

253
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 6: last start, but what the heck, you know, this guy's

254
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 6: got electric stuff. Has Emma she hanned, Blake trin In

255
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 6: and the rest of the rest of this bullpen really

256
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 6: come back now?

257
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: And and is there a.

258
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 6: Little bit more to be relaxed about if you're a

259
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 6: Dodger fan looking at their bullpen.

260
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: It's a good question. I think that so much of

261
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: it is it's been papered over, It's been covered up,

262
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: because what we're talking about with the starters. It just

263
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: hasn't been exposed yet. I think that it's in a

264
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: better place than it was before Sasaki emerged. I don't

265
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: know that I would say if I'm a Dodger fan,

266
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 4: I feel great about it. I think you've been able

267
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: to feel okay about it just because it hasn't really

268
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: been tested. The series have been short, the starting pitching

269
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: has made sure that the pen hasn't had to cover

270
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: too many endings. You think back to the regular season.

271
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 4: Part of the problem was for a lot of the summer,

272
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: the starters weren't good, and the starters weren't getting deep

273
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: into games, and so there was so much on the

274
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: play of the bullpen that that play kept shattering. And

275
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: it's not a whole lot different down there than what

276
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 4: it was. You know, Sasaki's emergence the obvious difference. But yeah,

277
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: it'll be interesting to see in a longer series here.

278
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: That's why it would be for the Dodgers great if

279
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: they could win it fast again to continue to hide

280
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 4: whatever problems they may still have in that bullpen.

281
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: Joe, final thing for me and I appreciate the time

282
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: this morning. You've got a front row seat watching showy

283
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: Otani with the Dodgers and what he's doing, and see

284
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: what he did last Friday in Game four of the NLCS.

285
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 2: We had a point now where we're starting to run

286
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 2: out of adjectives and ways to describe what he does

287
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 2: every single game, of what he can do with the

288
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: bat and with the glove. After that performance last Friday night,

289
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: which was truly amazing.

290
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're right. I struggle with it sometimes,

291
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: you know, doing the like you guys, you do this

292
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: all the time. So we're talking about his greatness daily. Uh, yeah,

293
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: you kind of have to continually rethink what we're seeing

294
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 4: here because it goes from amazing to well, nobody's ever

295
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: done that, to he even outdoes himself. So I'm like,

296
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: you continue to have to rethink how to describe it.

297
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 4: I think that for me, the most lasting thing that

298
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 4: I think about is and we got a great glimpse

299
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: of it the other night, the reactions of the other

300
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 4: superstars around him when he does stuff is for me,

301
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: the most profound thing about him. He's got other MVPs,

302
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: he's got other future Hall of Famers who are in

303
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 4: complete awe of him, and so if those guys are,

304
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: we should be We should be too. We should be

305
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: in a state beyond what even we're seeing, you know,

306
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman and Clayton Kershaw and these guys with their

307
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: own jaws dropped in the dugout watching him. Let's just

308
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 4: keep that in mind as we try to wrap our

309
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: minds around what we're seeing.

310
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 6: Joe homefield advantage obviously with Toronto. You know, Dodger's obviously

311
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 6: a better team at home than opposed to being on

312
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 6: the road. But that place in Toronto, like you mentioned,

313
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 6: is really really loud, one of the loudest places I've

314
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: ever played.

315
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 5: When that lid's closed and that place has packed, it's whoa.

316
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 5: This place is loud.

317
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 6: How much of it you know, do how much of

318
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 6: it should Dodger fans think, Let's not go back to Toronto.

319
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 6: Let's try to win this game, you know, in Los Angeles,

320
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 6: try to close it out there within five games. How

321
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 6: do you think that's a viable option here?

322
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: I think if that's a smart goal, I don't know

323
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 4: that it would be a viable I don't know that

324
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: it's going to be a viable option. I think this

325
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: is going to be a difficult series, yes, but I

326
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: think it's a smart goal. For a few reasons. The

327
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: one you're talking about is there's not a fun place

328
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: to go play. They're fifty four and twenty seven there

329
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: in the regular season, best record in the American League,

330
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: so the obvious of it being a tough home period advantage,

331
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 4: and then a little a little bit of deeper layers

332
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: to it. Back to the discussion about the pitching staff.

333
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: The longer the series goes, the more you may have

334
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 4: to tap into that bullpen now. But the flip side

335
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: of that is, of course the Blue Jays have their

336
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: awards too. I don't think they really want the series

337
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: going any longer than it has to either. You know,

338
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: if they want to get their eyes big and try

339
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: to win this series quickly, it would behoove them because

340
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: as much as I nitpicked the Dodger bullpen, you would

341
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: take the Dodger pitching staff ten times out of ten

342
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: over the Blue Jays staff. So who knows? None of

343
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: us know, And that's why we love this right we

344
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: get to watch it unfold and figure it out as

345
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 4: it happens.

346
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: Game one is tomorrow night. Joe, really appreciate the time. October,

347
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: we know is your busiest month of the year with

348
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: all you're doing, and uh, you're gonna be on the

349
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 2: biggest stage again with the World Series tomorrow night in Toronto.

350
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 2: Really appreciate you carving out a couple of minutes for

351
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: us as you make your way back to Toronto. Have

352
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 2: a great broadcast, and uh, hopefully the best team will

353
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: end up hosting that toy that trophy in the end,

354
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: and hopefully it's the Dodgers. So thanks a lot, Joe.

355
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 4: We appreciate you, guys.

356
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, There he goes the great Joe Davis,

357
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: one of the good guys, Saxy. Oh yeah, one of

358
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 2: the good guys. Got to know him guy right when

359
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: he when he came to the Dodgers. It's just just

360
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: a good young guy. And uh uh calls a great

361
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: game and here he is calling the game on the

362
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: biggest stage. I mean, look at the viewership. They're talking

363
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: about nine million people. We're watching Game seven of the

364
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 2: a LCS between the Blue Jays and them. Nine million people,

365
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people in Canada.

366
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, and and then and then you connect to what

367
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 6: how many people are watching Japan? I mean, this is

368
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 6: like amazing how many people are going to be tuning

369
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 6: in for this, and certainly with with shohe Otani and

370
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 6: Sasaki in there, this thing is just going to be

371
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 6: through the roof in this post, in this world series.

372
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: Can't wait to see it and see what those numbers are.

373
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 6: I mean they're crazy good.

374
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're talking about the NLCS. And when when uh

375
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: Otani pitch, so game four sixty percent increase in Japan

376
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: watching and the game he pitched. Obviously, when he's playing,

377
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: there's still a huge viewership in Japan because they want

378
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: to see him, you know, hit, and they want to

379
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 2: see Yamamoto pitch, they want to see Sasaki. But when

380
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: Otani was on the mound and doing his thing, sixty

381
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 2: percent increase in viewership over in Japan because all these

382
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: eyeballs that want to see him pitching a game and

383
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: hitting a game.

384
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 6: It's unbelts crazy, it's crazy good. I mean that just

385
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 6: shows you all the good things that baseball is doing.

386
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 6: It's in the right direction. And certainly the expansion of

387
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 6: the game going global now, and it's just not Japan,

388
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 6: it's Korea, it's Australia, it's it's everywhere now.

389
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 5: So this is a this is a great thing for

390
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 5: the game.

391
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're Rob Manfred in Major League Baseball,

392
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 2: you're probably outside of Dodgers, Yankees, maybe you know, something

393
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 2: like that, Dodgers Red Sox. You couldn't have asked for

394
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: a better matchup in October because you get Dodgers, you

395
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: get the international market, as we've been talking about. But

396
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 2: now you get Canada, which is electric right now for

397
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: their team and the Blue Jays, and for baseball, you

398
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: get the East Coast and you get all those eyeballs

399
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: now watching with superstars and flat Guerrero. I mean, this

400
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: is probably the best case scenario for baseball to showcase

401
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: the sport right now. This is thank goodness it's not

402
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: Brewers Mariners in the World Series.

403
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

404
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 6: And you know the other great thing is is, you know,

405
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 6: don't take anything away from you know, what the Brewers did.

406
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 6: But like you mentioned, you know, having a team like

407
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 6: Toronto there you get to two different countries.

408
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 5: You get East and.

409
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 6: West, but you also got a huge superstar on on

410
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 6: that team with Vlad Guerrero, and that that is a uh,

411
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: that's a that's a that's making those numbers rise quickly

412
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 6: and the viewership go even higher when you got somebody

413
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 6: of that stature.

414
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: I don't think people realize how big of a star

415
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: he is saxy.

416
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know what, his contract kind of speaks

417
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 6: for itself. They were willing to put out half half

418
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 6: a billion dollars in his pocket.

419
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think here in La we see Mookie Betts,

420
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: we see Freddie Freeman, we see show Aotani. It's like

421
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: we're spoiled with superstars. And to see the Blue Jays

422
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: with Vlad Guerrero. Okay, he's in the All Star Game,

423
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: he's winning home run, Derby's, he's flat son, Yeah, all

424
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: this stuff, but I think he kind of gets at

425
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: least in my opinion, maybe I'm wrong, but he kind

426
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: of feels lost as far as the superstars of baseball concerned.

427
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: Because we're talking about Judge on one coast, we talked

428
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: about Altani and the other. In my mind, he kind

429
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: of gets forgotten about being there in Toronto.

430
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 6: Well, the thing about it I look at is he's

431
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 6: he's the only show in Toronto as far as being

432
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 6: on that stage and that big superstardom that you're talking about.

433
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 6: You know, he's He's the biggest thing there, no question

434
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 6: about it. I Mean, Springer is not Lad Guerrero. You know,

435
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 6: he's he has that aura about him and the lineage

436
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 6: with his father and what his father had done. And

437
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 6: so you look at how much he's accomplished and he's

438
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 6: what only twenty six years old now, so he's got

439
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 6: such a huge amount of time remaining and they can

440
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 6: see they have a vision out of him being the

441
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 6: savior you know, of this organization, and you know all

442
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 6: of Canada is pulling for him.

443
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 4: Now.

444
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 6: Remember this isn't just the city of Toronto. This is

445
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 6: a whole country that's that's pulling for them.

00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,800

00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: on the AM right here on NFI seventy LA Sports

468
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 2: SAX and Kate's in the Am on this Thursday morning.

469
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: Thanks again to Joe Davis, voice of the Dodgers Mlbon

470
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: Fox for joining us busy show today. Derek Carr joins

471
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: US next hour, eight o'clock hour. Kurts Suzuki, new manager

472
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 2: of the Angels. Sean Green played for both sides of

473
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: this world series. Came up with the Blue Jays, played

474
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. So we'll hear from Sean Green coming

475
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: up in just a little bit Saxy. There's a lot

476
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 2: of talk about Dave Roberts year in and year out

477
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: during the regular season. Every time the Dodgers lose a game,

478
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: it's Dave Roberts faults. Every time the Dodgers win a game,

479
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: they won despite Dave Roberts as the manager of the Dodgers.

480
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: And I was looking at a story that Joe Tory

481
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: recently came out and said, you know what, enough enough.

482
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: He's in awe of Dave Roberts as well, and what

483
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: he's done. And this is a Hall of Fame manager,

484
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 2: and he's just a guy who won a lot in

485
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: October and won championships with the Yankees and knows what

486
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: it's like to be on a big age manager team

487
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: in a big city. And even he said he's in

488
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: awe of what Dave Roberts has done in ten years

489
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: as the helm of the Dodger manager. And just to

490
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: kind of put in perspective, Dave Roberts took over in

491
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen. Since then, he has won almost a thousand games.

492
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: He'll pass a thousand wins in the regular season next year.

493
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: In the postseason, the Dodgers have gone to the postseason

494
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: in every year that he has been the manager the

495
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: NLCS nlts a couple of times, certainly and early bounces

496
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: out of the postseason, but this is their fifth World

497
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: Series appearance in ten years with Dave Roberts as manager

498
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: of the Dodgers. Fifth World Series and ten years. And oh,

499
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: by the way, this October he has now surpassed Dusty

500
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: Baker and Bruce Bochie on the all time postseason wins

501
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 2: leader board. He now sits fourth fourth all time with

502
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 2: sixty five wins. Only Joe Tory, Tony LaRussa, and Bobby Cox,

503
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 2: all three Hall of famers are above him with more

504
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 2: wins in October as a manager. Can we finally stop

505
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: getting after Dave Roberts as a manager and what is

506
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: wrong and what he doesn't do and what he is

507
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: to blame for. Can we just give this guy his

508
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: flowers for once? I mean, look at the numbers. They

509
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: speak for themselves.

510
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

511
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 6: And you know when you talk about this October passing

512
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 6: Dusty Baker, and you know who is the other guy,

513
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 6: heid Bruce Bochi. Yeah, Bruce Boschey and Dusty Baby, They're

514
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 6: both going to the Hall of Fame. I can guarantee

515
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 6: you that, so it is time to quit it. Stop it.

516
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 6: It's not Dave Roberts fault. If the paint is a

517
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 6: little bit you know, has a tinge of different type

518
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 6: on the outfield wall, it's not Dave Roberts fault. It's

519
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 6: not Dave Roberts fault. If there was a bad up

520
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 6: on the infield there was a rock that the groundscrew

521
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 6: didn't get, it's not Dave Roberts fault. It's not Dave

522
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 6: Roberts fault. If you're coming into Dodger Stadium and there

523
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 6: isn't an attendant there for some reason, they were ten

524
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 6: minutes late, it's not Dave Roberts fault.

525
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not Dave Roberts fault.

526
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 6: If one of the lights in the right field pavilion

527
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 6: is one of them are out out of the thirty

528
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 6: that's in the bucket there, it's not Dave Roberts fault.

529
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 5: Okay, please, it's not Dave Roberts fault.

530
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 6: You know another thing I want to tell you four

531
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 6: more wins, and Dave Roberts has done something that nobody

532
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 6: else has done in a quarter century, and that's when

533
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 6: back to back titles Okay, that would be part of

534
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts fault if they went back to back titles.

535
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 6: So please give the guy a break. It's not Dave

536
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 6: Roberts's fault.

537
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not just a fans that continually get after

538
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts. And sure, no, I'm doing postgame Dodger talk

539
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 2: all nights during the season. There are times that I've

540
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: said things and you know, question maybe some moves, but

541
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: the overarching job that he has done year in and

542
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 2: year out, there's no arguing that he has been really

543
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: good and it's gonna be a Hall of Famer when

544
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: it's all said and done. The numbers will all speak

545
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: for themselves. It is amazing that he has got one

546
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: Manager of the Year award to his name, and that

547
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 2: came in his first year in twenty sixteen. Is that

548
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: the Phil Jackson effect? I guess you call it because

549
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 2: Phil Jackson didn't win a ton of Coach of the

550
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: Year awards with the Bulls or the Lakers, because a

551
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: lot of people just thought, well, with that talent, you're

552
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: supposed to win. Just roll out the ball, so to speak,

553
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 2: and let them play and they'll win you a Championshipal

554
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: look at this talent on the Dodgers. Oh, just hand

555
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: the ball to anybody, put a bat in somebody's hand. Oh,

556
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: your course, you're gonna win ninety games. Of course you're

557
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: gonna win the Division. Of course you're gonna get to

558
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 2: the post. Of course you're gonna win World Series championships.

559
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts is just a guy sitting there, just arms

560
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: cross wearing sunglasses. Anybody can do that.

561
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got injuries that happen. You have

562
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 6: people that have down years, you have different personalities you

563
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 6: have to deal with. Sometimes with the bar so high,

564
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 6: it's harder to manage a team that is expected to win.

565
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 6: You know, look at if the Dodgers don't win the

566
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 6: World Series every year, people are barking it must be

567
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 6: Dave roberts fault. It's not, okay. It's very, very difficult

568
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 6: to manage a team with such high expectations because baseball

569
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 6: is the hardest sport in which you can go out

570
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 6: there and repeat. So just to get there is a

571
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 6: tough thing. He said at five of the ten years.

572
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 6: It's amazing what he's done.

573
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. If you are managing a

574
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: team that maybe has young talent and maybe guys who

575
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: are playing way way above their talent level in a

576
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: certain season, and it kind of you know, you catch

577
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: light in a bottle and you make a playoff run

578
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden that managers the manager of

579
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: the year for you know, whatever team, the Seattle Mariners

580
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: and Dan Wilson, they caught fire. He's gonna win the

581
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: Al Manager of the Year or whatever team.

582
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 5: You know.

583
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: Pat Murphy's gonna win it for the Milwaukee Brewers because

584
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: they got hot and he he helped this young talent

585
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: find their identity and build a culture there for a

586
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: season and they win. How about doing it for ten years?

587
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 2: How about doing it year in and year out? And yes,

588
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: that bar is said high, but there is something to

589
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: be said, and we talk about it all the time.

590
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: And you always reference Tommy Lasorda and having to you know,

591
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 2: a massage a clubhouse and get the best out of

592
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 2: guys and motivate guys in different ways. Whether it was

593
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: Jesse Rosco or Kurt Gibson or you there's different ways

594
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: of doing it and different approaches to doing it. And

595
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: there's a strategy to that as a manager, and there's

596
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: a way to do it and the best are guys

597
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: who can do that, like Joe Tory, Phil Jackson, and

598
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: now like a Dave Roberts. It's not just rolling a

599
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: b all out there and knowing that you got Shoe

600
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: Otani's gonna hit fifty home runs and Freddie Freeman and

601
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts to do it. You got to manage these

602
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: guys and massage them through the season and into the postseason,

603
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: and then yet also be the guy. I think Steve

604
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: that takes the fall, and I think David Roberts accepts that.

605
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: You know what, I'll be the fall guy. We don't

606
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: win a series, we lose four to five, they don't

607
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: play my guys. I'll take the fall. I'll take the

608
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: heat for this. I think he kind of embraces that though.

609
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight

610
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520

642
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: City Center in right field of the Rogers Center. That

643
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: a hotel that has been there since they built it,

644
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: and you can get a room there. Now, not every

645
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: room has a view of the field, Okay, okay, there's

646
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: fifty five rooms inside this Marriott that overlook the field

647
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: and you can actually see the game happening. All you

648
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: got to do is open your curtain and you can

649
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: look out and see the game happening below you, and people.

650

Speaker 6: In the stadium can see you, or they used to.

651
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 6: They can't now because of you know, some things that happened. Ah,

652
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 6: you can't see in the window.

653
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 5: You used to be able.

654
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 6: To, okay, and they had to scurry to you know,

655
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 6: kind of blacken out the windows so you can the end,

656
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 6: but you can see out.

657
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 5: Which is great.

658
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,240

00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 5: That's pretty cool.

662
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: Well, you know, prices to stay at the hotel, like

663
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: the say tonight, if you wanted to stay there, it's

664
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: about six hundred Canadian dollars, which is you know, I'm

665
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: not doing math on the air, but it's let's say

666
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: it's that's about five hundred US dollars roughly to stay

667
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: there for the night. And that's a uh, that's a

668
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: two bed, four person in the room rate. Okay, Now

669
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: you want to stay there tomorrow night because tomorrow is

670
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,880

671
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: a horse of a different color here.

672
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: Let's get to that.

673
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: A non view of the field, so you're facing out

674
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: towards the street, it's gonna cost you about twenty three

675
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 2: hundred Canadian dollars, which is about eighteen hundred dollars US

676
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: money roughly. Okay, people, those are you driving around going

677
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: you're an idiot, kids, it's nineteen hundred. Okay, let's just

678
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: call it eighteen hundred. I'm just giving you a rough estimate. Now,

679
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: if you want a room saxy with that they call

680
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: a baseball stadium view, wow, here we go. Okay, they

681
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 2: got two of them left. If you want a king

682
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: sized bed.

683
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 5: Now you're watching the All Star Game with the king

684
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 5: sized bed.

685
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 4: Go.

686
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: Nine thousand Canadian dollars. You're kidding, which is just over

687
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars here in the US. Come on for

688
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 2: one night, for one night, one king bed. There's two

689
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 2: of those rooms left. Now, let's say, you know, I

690
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: don't want to share a bed with somebody. I want

691
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: two double beds. Okay, they've got a room left with

692
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: two double beds overseeing the Rogers Center Field. You can

693
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 2: see Game one the World Series from your hotel room

694
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow night for a whopping ninety one hundred dollars Canadian dollars.

695
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: That is now okay, that's great, But I want a

696
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 2: bigger room. Maybe I want to split the cost with

697
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: a couple of people. You know, we're gonna, you know,

698
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: split the beds here.

699
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 5: Sweet.

700
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they call it a large room, but it's basically

701
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: a sweet right. It's got even got little stairs in there,

702
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: it's got a sitting area, it's got a couple of

703
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: high chairs that you can see down on the field

704
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 2: from your hotel. I mean it's basically a little mini

705
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 2: sweet they call it. They're a large room, one queen

706
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 2: bed or one double and one double sofa bed. So

707
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 2: all right, so you can sleep multiple people here.

708
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 5: You got to pull out right.

709
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: We've got ninety five hundred dollars and there's only one left.

710
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 2: All right, So there's four of you ninety five hundred dollars.

711
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 2: You know, let's do a little bit of a math there.

712
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: What's ninety five hundred dollars divided by four? Uh? You

713
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: think I could be able to do this off the

714
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: top of my head, but I was a history major,

715
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: not a math major. That is twenty three seventy five,

716
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 2: all right, so let's call it twenty four hundred dollars

717
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: a person. You could stay at the hotel tomorrow nights

718
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: to you sacks, and you get to look down through

719
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: the glass and see Game one of the World Series,

720
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 2: and you they even have to buy a ticket.

721
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, you're not done, bro, So I've

722
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 6: dug a little deeper.

723
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 5: Into this thing.

724
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 6: Okay, you got ninety five hundred for the room. Okay,

725
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 6: you're gonna have to pay two hundred bucks to park

726
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 6: at least, you know what I mean, parking is that much.

727
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 6: You're gonna have to pay two hundred bucks to park.

728
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 6: The food for the evening, especially if you're entertaining, is

729
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 6: gonna drop you at least a grand. I mean, somebody

730
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 6: pops open a bottle of wine that's two hundred bucks

731
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 6: by itself. So you're gonna you're gonna spend a grand

732
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 6: on food, no doubt about it. Then you got to

733
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 6: tip the dude that comes up. You gotta spend another

734
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 6: one hundred bucks for that. You're looking at ten thousand,

735
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 6: eight hundred dollars.

736
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 2: Okay, it's just just at its base, at its core.

737
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 6: Now if there's more than that, I don't know, you

738
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 6: might spend you know, more money on dessert.

739
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 5: You gotta have dessert, yes, cake or anything like this.

740
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 5: I mean you're looking at eleven grand, bro eleven grand.

741
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 5: So it's what it's gonna cost.

742
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: It's about three thousand dollars per person. Yeah, and you're

743
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: gonna cramp four people into this large room mini suite

744
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: if you will, with either with a one queen bed

745
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: and one double sofa bed, so you're sleeping four people.

746
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 2: So the four you want to go, it's gonna cost

747
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: you about three grand ish just to go there. Plus

748
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 2: you gotta fly there, and you gotta rent a car

749
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: to get there, and there's other expenses. I mean, if

750
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 2: you got the money and you really want to see

751
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in Game one of the World Series tomorrow night,

752
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 2: there you go. There's limited rooms. Looks like there's about

753
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: five rooms either a queen, a king or a double

754
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: bed that you're able to get there at the Marriotte

755
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 2: overlooking the field at the Rogers Center in Toronto, can.

756
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 6: And you know the kind of the questionable thing about

757
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 6: this as well, it's not all the questions are answered,

758
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 6: because you may spend eleven grand parse that out to

759
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 6: you know, three thousand each about and one thing you

760
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 6: don't know is you're not guaranteed a good night's sleep

761
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 6: because what if the people that are staying there, what

762
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 6: about the snoring issue?

763
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 5: Oh boy, I mean, you may have good friends, but

764
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 5: they may snore and.

765
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 6: You don't even get a good night's sleep. So you

766
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 6: gotta vet that thing out too. You got to have

767
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 6: the people that got that kind of scratch that can pay,

768
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 6: but they also have to be able to not snore, Yeah,

769
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 6: because if you're paying that much money to go to

770
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 6: a hotel, you better get a good night's sleep, and man.

771
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 5: Snoring can really put a monkey wrench into that.

772
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 2: Now, the window to look out on the field is

773
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 2: basically the width of the room, so it's not very big.

774
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: It could probably seat four people across if you were

775
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 2: to put chairs lined up, and in some of these

776
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 2: rooms they do have elevated chairs that you could look

777
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 2: down on the field, and I'm sure they provide them

778
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: for if you want them, so you could probably fit

779
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: four chairs there. You're not hearing the game because I'm

780
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 2: sure there's soundproof windows, yeah, and you know they're tinted

781
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: so nobody can see in. So you might have the

782
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: game on like TV and have the sound on, but

783
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 2: you're watching the game, you know, live, So I mean

784
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 2: there's I'm looking at Saturday night too, because we were

787
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 2: than in Friday night. Not much. You're looking about ninety

00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,399

Speaker 2: of watching the game and joining.

825

00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: Absolutely, if I had that kind of dough, I would.

827
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,080

842
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:54,040

Speaker 3: Sacks is right about that.

855
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:22,080

856
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 3: It's terrible. Hey, I called, I got a bone to

857
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 3: pick with Steve Sacks, and here we go, all right.

858
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 3: In nineteen eighty five, I was at YMCA day camp

859
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: playing Freeze Tag and they said, you guys need to

860
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: come sit on the grass because Steve Sacks is going

861
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 3: to come talk to all of you guys nice about baseball,

862
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: and you ruined the best game of freeze tag ever

863
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 3: where I was easily the third best player on the

864
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 3: field and that's not fair. And then six months later

865
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 3: in school, we were playing kickball and some kid in

866
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: a Dodger hat said, Steve Sacks hit a grand slam

867
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: last night, and I didn't know how baseball worked, and

868
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 3: I said, is that good? And he laughed at me,

869
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 3: and his curt was gonna be My girlfriend ran away

870
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: and she laughed.

871
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 4: At me too.

872
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: So thankfully, Steve, you were pretty good on that one

873
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,000

Speaker 6: I've been sorry about that, So all right, seth, appreciate it.

876
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,959

881
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty five.

882
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 5: That's a long time.

883
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy had a mean game of freeze

884
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,360
