00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: That's a rule, all right. I got bad news and

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: good news. Bad news for the rest of Major League Baseball.

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are better than what they were last year

54
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: when they won back to back World Series championships. Yeah

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: that's true. Yeah, that's bad news for everybody else. The

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: good news for everybody in Los Angeles is I am

57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: very confident the Dodgers will be in the World Series

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: again this year, and if everybody is healthy, have a

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: great chance to do something that has only been done

60
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: two other times in modern baseball history, and that is

61
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 2: to three pete. Can anybody tell me the two other

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: teams that have threepeeded in Major League Baseball and modern

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: baseball history.

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: Here, some of you may not have been born.

65
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: One was the seventies Yankees. David Howard was around for that.

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 2: Seventies A's you were around for that, right, David Howard,

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: You're around for that. Think about this There's even some

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: people that are twenty two years old in college right

69
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: now don't remember the Yankees th repeating in nineteen ninety

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: eight to two thousand.

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: So the Dodgers may do.

72
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Something that just hasn't been done before in a lot

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: of people's lifetime. And what has made them better than

74
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: last year is that they have filled the two greatest

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: holes in their lineup, and that's Kyle Tucker in right

76
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: field and Edwin Diaz as their closer that was a

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: major hole in their lineup last year. Tucker moves te

78
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez back to left field. Tucker is going to

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: blend in, does not want the attention, and certainly is

80
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: going to thrive. You know that some people just don't

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: want the attention, and they thrive better in their business

82
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: when they're not the man. When they're not the person,

83
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: some people are better assistant managers than they are managers.

84
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: And Kyle Tucker is that type of guy. So things

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: are looking a lot better. But before we continue to

86
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: look forward, let's look back. Let's look back at last

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: year's World Series. I have my own list of top

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: five World Series moments from last year's exciting, thrilling Game

89
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 2: seven World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

90
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: So I actually have some production behind this as well.

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: Before we get to that, though, since it is like

92
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: cocktail hour here at the Ergan Butcher, can we all

Speaker 2: The three peat, the run for the three peat, the

96
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: back to back World Series champions LA Dodgers.

97
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: Can we all raise a glass to a man.

98
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: That spent his entire twelve year Major League career with

99
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and when he retired, played more postseason games

100
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers than anybody else. And that is the

Speaker 2: Here are my top five World Series moments. I'm gonna

109
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: start from five, go to one. Here it is how

110
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: many people stayed up all eighteen innings for Freddie Freeman's

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: walk off home run in Game three of the World Series.

112
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: If you didn't stay up. This is the way it

113
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: sounded right here on Dodgers Radio and five to seventy

114
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: LA Sports.

115
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 7: Full count on Freeman, Little delivers Freeman. It's one high

116
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 7: in the air, straightaway center field.

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 8: Marshal at the walk God, Freddie Freeman, mister World Series

00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,360

Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, Freddie Freeman's walk off home run in the

120
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: eighteenth inning last year only player now in baseball history

121
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: to have walk off home runs in two separate World Series.

122
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's the way it sounded. With

123
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson on the call. All right, Now, here's my

124
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: number four.

125
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: To even get to a Game seven, you needed to

126
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: win Game six if you were the Dodgers.

127
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: Here it is the final play of Game six to

128
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: force a Game seven.

129
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: One out, bottom of the ninth inning.

130
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: Tyler glassnow already got Ernie Clement to pop out for

131
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: the first out of the inning with one pitch. Addison

132
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: Barger at second base got a litle little too excited.

133
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: Here is the final play and the number four moment

134
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: of last year's World Series.

135
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 7: Then it's his zero for three with a strikeout so

136
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 7: far in Game six. Al Right, he comes home and

137
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 7: then its s flips it in the left field Hernandez charging.

138
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 8: He mix the catch, the throwback to second. Here's a

139
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 8: play the tag.

00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: He's out, Key.

141
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 8: K Hernandez, Teleguel Rojas in the ball game is over.

142
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: We got a fun fact earlier this week, Former Raiders

143
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: quarterback Derek Carr was on Dodger Talk and he said

144
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: he has that second base bag in his office. He

145
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: and his brother David Carr have a podcast hosted by

146
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Iaheart Radio, and he has that second base bag in

147
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: his office, that actual one that Rojas made an incredible

148
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: short hop from the throw from Key k a Hernandez.

149
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: And we have already arranged for Rojas and Key k

150
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: Hernandez to sign that second base bag for Derek Carr.

151
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: Speaking of Miguel Rojas.

152
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: And defense, right, it wasn't just the home run to

153
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: tie Game seven in the ninth inning. How about the

154
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: play he made in the bottom of the ninth inning

155
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: to Will Smith in field in the tying run, the

156
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: winning run just ninety feet away. Here was Miguel Rojas

157
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 2: to Will Smith. Our number three moment of last year's

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,360

Speaker 7: A ball in two strikes, Yamamoto is set round ball

160
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 7: to second, Rojas has it, he's.

161
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 9: Going home and they get in time.

162
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 8: There was a brief stumble from Rojas at second base,

163
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 8: but he recovered, planted and through home and kind of

164
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 8: filefa is deemed out boy.

165
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 10: That was a tough plame by Rojas, and he was

166
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 10: able to make the good throw.

167
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: The regears, the colina confirmed and the.

168
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 9: Runners out ground the band.

169
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: Hey the call stand and the Dodgers were able to

170
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: go extra innings, and that leads us to I don't know,

171
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the second best moment of last year's

172
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: World Series. You may disagree with me because he doesn't

173
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: talk a lot, but the number two moment for me

174
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: the Dodgers down to their final two outs of the

175
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,359
Speaker 2: season was Miguel Rojas's game time home run.

176
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 7: And Rojas fight his way on base, full count, Hoffman delivers,

177
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 7: Rojas hits it in the air left field.

178
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 6: This ball's got some carry.

179
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 9: It is gone. It's gone. In Game seven, is tied.

180
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 8: Miguel Rojas off the bench in Game six, on the

181
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 8: board in Game seven.

182
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 10: This crowd, well, we talked about it in another series.

183
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 10: This has turned into a library. Miguel Rojas. He took

184
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 10: the two two pitch the slider upstairs, and he took

185
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 10: the next pitch out of the ballpark. Then this Dodgers

186
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 10: first day's dugout has exploded.

187
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: I feel like we needed more energy from Steven Nelson.

188
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: I don't think we're getting enough energy out of him

189
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: in a Game seven.

190
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.

191
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: He actually reflected how you were feeling in your homes

192
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: when Miguel Rojas hit his first home run against the

193
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: right handed pitcher of the season, that's regular and postseason.

194
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: Had not hit a home run against the right handed pitcher.

195
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: That one off of Jeff Hoffman, who was chirping when

196
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: the bench is cleared earlier in the game.

197
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: So there you have it, you know.

198
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 2: I just feel like Will Smith doesn't do a lot

199
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: of media, doesn't really talk about himself a lot, but

200
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: a game tying home run does not win the World

201
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: Series for you. Here is the number one moment of

202
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: last year's thrilling seven game World Series.

203
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 7: Glad Guerrero Junior will lead off the bottom of the

204
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 7: eleventh for the Dodgers, scratch a run across before then.

205
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 6: The two o Smith with a smash in the air

206
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 6: to deepliftfield. This bowl is.

207
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 8: Smith lets it fly and breaks the tie in Game seven,

208
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 8: as number sixteen stays.

209
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 10: Clutch boy, this place has gotten silent all of a sudden.

210
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet.

211
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: Will Smith could hear his cleats cutting that dirt as

212
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: he was rounding the bases.

213
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 9: It was.

214
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: It was eerily quiet after It was so raucous for

215
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: the majority of that game, especially after Bobishet hit that

216
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: go ahead home run off a show. Hey, Tawny, but look,

217
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: I know the Rojas home run was one of the

218
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: most improbable home runs in World Series history. But it

219
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: was a game tying home run. It wasn't the game

220
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: winning home run. And that's why for me, the Will

221
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: Smith go ahead home run in the eleventh inning is

222
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: the top moment of last year's seven game World Series.

223
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Since we are celebrating the Dodgers here tonight in downtown

224
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: Phoenix with our friends at the Arrogant Butcher, let's celebrate

225
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and ever since Guggenheim ownership took over, it's

226
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: been a party.

227
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna share with you my.

228
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: Top ten Dodger playoff home runs since twenty thirteen. When

229
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: we continue right here on Dodger Talk live from the

230
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: Arrogant Butcher in downtown Phoenix with all our friends and you,

231
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: of course you're a friend on a five to seventy

232
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: LA Sports. Want to say thank you again to our

233
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 2: friends at Superior Grossers Strauss Children's Hospital Los Angeles, for Verizon, Sipporo,

234
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: Chumash Casino and Daniels Jewelers. Thank you all for coming

235
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 2: out and supporting Dodgers Radio, Dodgers Baseball. Without you, this

236
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: doesn't happen. So thank you again for all the support.

237
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: It's going to be another great season. You got on

238
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: board at the right time. I'll just put it that way,

239
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: all right. It's not the twenty eleven Dodgers. It's the

240
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Dodgers going for the three pet and all.

241
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: This started all the way back in twenty thirteen. This

242
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: is the golden age of Dodger baseball, not just the

243
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: last two years, but going back to twenty thirteen. This

244
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: is unprecedented sustained success. The Brooklyn Dodgers didn't do this.

245
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: The sixties Dodgers didn't do this. The seventies. Garvey Lopes,

246
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: Russell and say they were great. They didn't do this

247
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: The eighties Dodgers of Fernando and Oral Herscheizer. They won

248
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: two championships in ten years. The Dodgers have won three

249
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 2: in the last five years, including doing something that no

250
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: other Dodger team had ever done, and that's went back

251
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: to back championships. So this goes back to twenty thirteen.

252
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: It doesn't go back to twenty twenty four. It doesn't

253
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,479
Speaker 2: go back to twenty nineteen. It goes back to twenty thirteen.

254
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: And I have put together and you can disagree agree.

255
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: You could tweet at me at the real underscore dv

256
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: or send me nasty dms on Instagram at officially Vassy

257
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: and I do get them. Andre Ethier was part of

258
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: the beginning of all this in twenty thirteen. So I'm

259
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: gonna start from ten to one like we did for

260
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: the seven game World Series Highlights, and I'm gonna start

261
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: at number ten. You know, everybody just remembers the World Series.

262
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: Nobody remembers what it takes to get to the World

263
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: Series and the moments, the moments that helped the Dodgers

264
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: get to the World Series. There was a very good

265
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: chance the Dodgers don't ever get out of the first

266
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: round against the Phillies. They never had home field advantage,

267
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: and they were losing Game one. Remember this, how many

268
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: people remember? The Dodgers were losing game one of a

269
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: best of five nlds until Tale happened. You wanted to

270
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: trade tail, You were on tail all year long. Who

271
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: rescued the Dodgers in Philadelphia None other than my guy,

272
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: ta Oscar Hernandez.

273
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 7: It has been a tough night for Taale zero for three,

274
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 7: three strikeouts and part of the misplaying right field, and

275
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 7: the Phillies scored three runs in the second inning. He

276
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 7: can make up for it with one swing the pitch,

277
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 7: get high in the air, right center field, bait her

278
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 7: on the run on the warning track, he's at the wall.

279
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: It's gone.

280
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 9: Tale time.

281
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 8: In Game one, he flips the scoreboard with a three

282
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 8: run bomb.

283
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: Stephen Nelson just encapsulated how everybody felt about Taoscar Hernandez.

284
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: Oh misplay, Oh you can make up for it right here? Well, yeah,

285
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: he did, and that's what he does. He did it

286
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. He did it again last year.

287
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: Rescued the Dodgers they were down three to two in

288
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: the seventh inning in Philadelphia. And you want to talk

289
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: about a raucous crowd going quiet. They did in the

290
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: seventh inning with a go ahead three run home run,

291
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: and Tioscar Hernandez was the one that provided all that.

292
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: So how about this, How about some ti Oscar Hernandez

293
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: appreciation in twenty twenty six? All right, number nine, let's

294
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: go back to twenty eighteen. You remember last year's eighteen

295
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: inning affair. I never thought I'd have to sit through

296
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: that again. Well, I was there in twenty eighteen Game

297
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: three of the World Series Dodgers Red Sox Nathan Valdi

298
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: against Max Muncy and the Dodgers were down two in

299
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: that World Series.

300
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 11: Baldy on three and two, Black Hall left center field,

301
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 11: well hit back.

302
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: At the wall, and the longest World.

303
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 11: Series game in history has come to an end a

304
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 11: mighty blast by Max Monthy. The Dodgers are back from

305
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 11: the dead. They win it three to two. They moved

306
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 11: back to within two games to one in the twenty

307
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 11: eighteen World Series, an historic game at Dodgers Stadium, and

308
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 11: Monsey is being pummeled at the plate.

309
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: That was Charlie Steiner on the call.

310
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 2: Great to hear his voice and Max Munsey now that

311
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: many years later, has the most postseason home runs in

312
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: Dodger franchise history thirteen postseason home runs for that funky

313
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: month see all right.

Speaker 2: Dodgers playoff home runs going back to twenty thirteen. Twenty twenty,

316
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: a year we don't want to remember in some ways,

317
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: but Cody Bellinger gave us a great memory Game seven

318
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: of the NLCS. Remember the Dodgers were down three games

319
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: to one to the Braves in that twenty twenty NLCS. Well,

320
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: they forced a Game seven, and in the seventh inning,

321
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 2: Belly hit a g galahead home.

322
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: Run against Atlanta and Chris Martin two balls, two strikes,

323
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: two out.

324
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 11: Martin's twenty third pitch Bellinger.

325
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: For the fly ball the right field.

326
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 11: Cody Bellinger has just given the Dodgers a four.

327
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: To three lead.

328
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Key Hernandez separated his shoulder with a

329
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: huge forearm shiver, so uh, just remember the celebrations keep

330
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: him under control. But that was a huge home run

331
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 2: and sent the Dodgers to the World Series for the

332
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 2: third time in four years at that point, and they

333
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: went on to beat the Rays in Game six. Number

334
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: seven Chris Taylor fan favorite so many big home runs

335
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, so many big plays in the postseason.

336
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 3: How about the wildcard?

337
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: The Dodgers won one hundred and six games in twenty

338
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: twenty one, but the Giants had that lucky year, winning

339
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and seven, So the Dodgers were forced to

340
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: play a wildcard game at Dodgers Stadium against the Saint

341
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 2: Louis Cardinals. It was a tie game in the bottom

342
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: of the ninth inning until Chris Taylor sent the Dodgers

343
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: to the NLDS.

344
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 11: Race on two and one. Taylor fly ball the left

345
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 11: and deep and don Chris Taylor oh walk up home run.

346
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 11: But Dodgers are walking off to San Francisco. They win

347
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 11: the Wildcard, create a one. Here comes Taylor to have played.

348
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: They are bobbing him, but Crown is going crazy.

349
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 11: The Dodgers advance to the National League Division Series and

350
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 11: won swing by Chris Taylor.

351
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: That was a great year for Chris Taylor, capped off

352
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 2: by that walk off home run in the wild card game.

353
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget that night. As we were waiting

354
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers to come out and do the interviews,

355
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: Juan Soto was sitting behind home played and I interviewed

356
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: Juan Soto after Chris Taylor's walk off home run, speaking

357
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: of big time home runs that you may have forgotten about.

362
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: postseason for the first time in a long time, first

363
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: time since Andre Ethier's Dodgers were in the NLCS in

364
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. Well Ethier and the Dodgers were

365
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: back in there for the first time and trying to advance.

366
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: Kershaw pitched on three days rest. Don Mattingly try to

367
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: have one your Reba bunt for a base hit or

368
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: a sacrifice In the bottom of the eighth inning, he

00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: couldn't bunt, didn't want to bunt, and thank god he.

370
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,400

Speaker 3: The eighth inning.

381
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was that famous image of Craig Kimberl standing

382
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: with his hands on his hips in the Braves bullpen.

383
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: Not sure where Andre Ethier was when one your Rebay

384
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: hit that big home run in the bottom of the

385
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: eighth inning. We'll ask him coming up in our next segment.

386
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: All right, we're getting to the top five. How about

387
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: another fan favorite, a guy that made his career nine

388
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: years with the Dodgers.

389
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: His biggest hit with the Dodgers Game two of the.

390
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 2: NLCS in twenty seventeen, on the same date that Kurt

391
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 2: Gibson hit his walk off home run back in nineteen

392
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: eighty eight. Justin Turner helping the Dodgers get to the

393
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 2: World Series. Since Gibson's or yeah, since Gibson's eighty eight

394
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers John Lackey on the mound at Dodgers Stadium, Justin

395
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: Turner sent everybody home happy and the Dodgers had a

396
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: two to zero lead in the NLCS.

397
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 11: Turner in the postseason with the Dodgers he's twelve or

Speaker 4: happy twentieth anniversary.

477
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 9: I can't believe it, you know, looking back.

478
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: Into that spring training, my first spring training the Dodgers

479
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six, not where not knowing where

480
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 4: I was going or where I would be, and then

481
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: sitting here today twenty years later, what a ride, and

482
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: you know, what a what a.

483
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 9: Change of organization.

484
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 4: Where this place has come and where it was when

485
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 4: I first showed up, and now where the Dodgers said

486
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 4: today on the top of everything and where they were

487
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 4: trying to get back to, is you know, a great

488
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: testament to this organization in the city.

489
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 2: I remember where I was when the Dodgers traded Milton

490
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: Bradley for some guy from the A's organization double a modesto.

491
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: I can remember the guy that told me about Andre Ethier.

492
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: He was one of Dave Reese's right hand guys.

493
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: His name was Brent Blau.

494
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: He went to Arizona State when you played college baseball.

495
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: He said, Oh, man, this guy's the Manamal, who is

496
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: this guy?

497
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 3: We're I've never asked you this.

498
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 2: What was your reaction when you found out a double

499
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: A player with the Modesta A's was just traded to

500
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers.

501
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 9: Well, I didn't look at it the way you just

502
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 9: painted it. I looked at it.

503
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: I was kind of actually angry because I had spent

504
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 4: you know, two and a half years of the A's

505
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 4: organization at that time, which was known to promote young

506
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 4: players pretty quickly right into the big leagues. And I

507
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: had just come off a double A season where I

508
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 4: won the MVP of the league, batting title of the league.

509
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 9: I was an All Star game MVP from Texas League.

510
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: Until you had a great league, played in the Fall League,

511
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 4: hit tremendously well the following the ACE sat me down

512
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: last week in the Fall League and we're like, hey,

513
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 4: you're going to come to spring trading this year and

514
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 4: you're going to.

515
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 9: Compete for a big league job for us. So I

516
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 9: had that in my mind.

517
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: Fast forward three weeks later, I'm walking into a Barnes

518
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 4: and Noble actually, and I see a phone number pop

519
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 4: up on my phone from California area code, and I

520
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: look at it, hang up. It calls back again. I

521
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 4: hang up, and then finally they leave a message and

522
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: it's Ned Coletty saying, Hey, this is Ned Cletty.

523
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 9: Gentlemenager of the Dodgers.

524
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: I'd like to be the first one to welcome you

525
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: to the Los Angeles Dodger you just traded.

526
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 9: For you give me a call back.

527
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: So I was trying to call him back, and as

528
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 4: soon as I did that, I get another phone call

529
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 4: from Oakland.

530
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 9: Area code and it was.

531
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: I believe Dave Forrest, who was the assistant GM at

532
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 4: the time under Billy Bean, called me to tell me

533
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: that they just traded me to the Dodgers and thanks

534
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 4: for everything you did days and good luck with your career.

535
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, I was having a lot of motion. I

536
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 4: was like, really, you just traded me when you just

537
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 4: told me three weeks ago that I would be competing

538
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 4: for a job with you guys in the big leagues,

539
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 4: and now I have to go to another organization, which obviously,

540
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: in hindsight, they had a plan for me.

541
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 9: But I was like, why do I stand out?

542
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: Of course I go and look up, and you have

543
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: Matt Camp, you have James Loney, you have all these

544
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: I think the Dodgers just one organization of the year

545
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: for all those prospects they had, and le Road, which

546
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 4: all those guys. But that Ville five, Yeah, the Jacksonville five,

547
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 4: Russell Martin, And I'm like, how do I fit in

548
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: with these great players over here?

549
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 9: Where am I going to get my big league shot?

550
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 4: But like I said, you've got a trust the process,

551
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 4: and they traded me two big leaguers for me for a,

552
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: like you said, a lowly double a player, And sure

553
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: enough I was in.

554
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 9: The big leagues three weeks after the season started. That's amazing.

555
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 9: What a story.

556
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: I've never asked you that, and I don't believe I've

557
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 2: ever heard you tell that story. So fast forward we

558
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: are in spring training.

559
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 6: You were part of.

560
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: The Dodgers when they moved from Vero Beach to Camelback

561
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: Ranch here in Glendale, Arizona. You have that unique perspective

562
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: of being a guy, contemporary player that got to have

563
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: spring training at Dodgertown at Vero Beach. Yeah, what was

564
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 2: that like in your first spring training and What was

565
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 2: it like going to Florida for those two years?

566
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 4: Honestly? And that was another angry thing. I'm like, I was,

567
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 4: I had spring training? What eight minute drive from Arizona

568
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: State Campus? You know localan as spring training is maybe

569
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 4: eight minutes from Arizona State Campus. So, you know, I

570
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: get drafted by the A's, I'm basically living in my

571
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: same apartment that I lived in college to go to

572
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: spring trading up.

573
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 9: Were you living on.

574
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: Mill Avenue when you were training with the A's.

575
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 4: Close close to Bell Avenue. I was still spending quite

576
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 4: a few so I have been a timetown of Mill Avenue.

577
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: But yes, I was, you know, still living in the area.

578
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, they're like, you're getting

579
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 4: traded Dodgers. Well, where's the Dodger spring training. It's at

580
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 4: Vero Beach. Where's zero Beach? You know what I'm trying to,

581
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 4: you know, and doctrinate myself with this, you know, Dodgers,

582
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 4: you know, lower of Vera Beach.

583
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 9: I get there, I'm like, what is this place?

584
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 6: First?

585
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: Free training was awful? You know, obviously I showed up.

586
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: I didn't perform very well, So I was reassigned to

587
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 4: minor league camp pretty quickly after, you know, three weeks

588
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 4: in major league camp, and then that season comes, and

589
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: then obviously it was a short suit and the shortest

590
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 4: off season I ever had, because I you know at

591
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 4: that you know major league season is a is a

592
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: month longer. First time the Dodgers had been in the

593
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: playoffs again in a while was in O six, so

594
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 4: we had a playoff run and then you know, fast

595
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 4: off season, all the motions of being in the big leagues,

596
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 4: and then you look up and it's February ninth, and

597
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, I got to go back to Vero

598
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 4: Beach again. And you're like, I got it all the

599
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 4: way across the country to go have spring training in Florida.

600
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 9: I'm like, what am I doing? And I can say

601
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 9: we had three and a half them was four spring

602
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 9: trainings are before the Dodgers moved out.

603
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 4: And then it was a happy day when I heard

604
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 4: their announce team and I think it's a happy day

605
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: for the organization and obviously our partners and everyone's happy

606
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 4: to have the team this close to it. But at

607
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: the end of my career, I realized the specialist of

608
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 4: being at a place like Barol Beach. What it meant

609
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 4: I had a full circle moment. Actually this past us

610
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: this past fall, my oldest sudden had a baseball tournament

611
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 4: in Jupiter area and one of the games happened to

612
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 4: be one of the days at Baro Beach And that

613
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 4: was the first time I was back since two thousand

614
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 4: and nine. Was this past fall and so many floods

615
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 4: and you know, emotions coming through me. That was my

616
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 4: first time walking on that and just seeing where I

617
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 4: kind of got my start in the dodge orarization where

618
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 4: the first time I I you know, I walked on

619
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 4: that campus, stayed in one of those the housing you know,

620
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: the old hotel rooms, the marriage So yeah, you saw

621
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: the first time, you know, I walked to the old

622
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 4: the old food room.

623
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 9: The cafeteria is exactly the same. Well, that's what I

624
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 9: wanted to ask you.

625
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: I've heard the old timers talk about that food room

626
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 2: where yeah, double A players would be sitting next to

Speaker 4: night that I actually, I think it was the second

650
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 4: night that I came in to the cafeteria and Tommy

651
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 4: called me out and said, hey, come sit with me

652
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: at the table. And then I had the hour Tommy

00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 4: dinner in the cafeteria telling me all about Dodgers and

654
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: Dodger history and all the great players, and you know,

655
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 4: pointing at me with his crooked finger, Uh, that you

656
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 4: could one day be a great Dodger if you do

657
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: all the things, you know, you know, the typical Tommy

658
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 4: pep up pep talk. And yeah, I just didn't realize

659
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 4: that end of my career until I was done, what

660
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 4: a special place that was. And then when you walk

661
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 4: around thinking, you know, I was like, I was getting

662
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 4: to walking my boys around because she's showing them where

663
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 4: I the you know, the the hotel room I stayed

664
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 4: in the backfield where they would make me go back

665
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 4: and hit curveballs. You know, Uh, the locker room in

666
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 4: the old stadium. Of how the old stadium now has

667
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 4: covers of the dugout. We didn't have covers on the dugout.

668
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 4: They were open air dugouts. You know that there was

669
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 4: an old military base and you have the old berms

670
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 4: from the military base.

671
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 9: For the outfield and the stands are built on.

672
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 4: All that stuff is just unique to Dodger, you know,

673
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 4: to Dodgertown and to have the history and to like

674
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: have that all come back and and know now that

675
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: I was a part of that, you know, Dodger in

676
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: history that was a part of there. And there's not

677
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 4: one player left I think me and you've talked about this.

678
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 4: Clayton was the last player I think an act in baseball,

679
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 4: not only on the Dodgers, but it acted baseball that

680
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 4: had a spring training. There's actually one more still, oh

681
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 4: Canley Jensen. I forgot Canley Jens is still there. But yes,

682
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 4: I mean when Candley retires, that that officially closes the

683
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 4: era of any player that had a spring training at

684
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 4: Bara Beach. I think that's gonna be a sad day

685
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: just in you know, memory and meaning because of how

686
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 4: special Dodgertown is to you know, Dodgers, to Brooklyn, to

687
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: la and all those great players that had a chance

688
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 4: to have a spring trained there.

689
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: It's funny that you say that. And Andre Ethier is

690
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: our guest in downtown Phoenix. Kenley Jansen every time that

691
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: I talked to him, and obviously you know, he has

692
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: such a special place in his heart for the Dodgers,

693
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: even though he's pitched for a few different teams. He

694
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 2: always talks about that, how he and Kershaw and you

695
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 2: are the last guys. Yeah, trained at Garo Beach and

696
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: it seems like that's a badge of honor for you guys.

697
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: One is because it's a badgine honor because the players.

698
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: It's a badger arnor because a Jackie. It's a badger

699
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: because it's Roy, Roy Campandell. It's a badge of honor

700
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: because all these Rick Mondays bad because all these great

701
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 2: Dodger of players.

702
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 9: If you, if you were a great Dodger player.

703
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 4: Before you know what, twenty twelve and you had a

704
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,920

00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 9: Daryl Beach, you you got a chance to do that.

706
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 9: Life is slow.

707
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 4: We don't have downtown Phoenix. We have there now, but

708
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 4: sure we haven't had to use up there. You know

709
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 4: you you just had a slow life going on. You

710
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 4: showed up to spring trainers about babs. It's all about baseball.

711
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 4: Like I said, I lived on campus. Did you ever

730
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 4: a it's a bygone air. That's that's left and it's

731
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 4: in the past. And and it's nice to see that

732
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 4: I was able to be a part of something that

733
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 4: was like a touch of like the old the old

734
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 4: school baseball. You know, the photos, the videos that would

735
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,560

00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 4: Dodger themed uh Napkin dispensers in the middle. Everything's still there.

764
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 4: It's it's a it's it's like a museum, and it's

765
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 4: it's fun to go see that and be a part

766
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 4: of that.

767
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 3: That's amazing.

768
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Andre Ethier is joining us in downtown Phoenix.

769
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are getting ready for opening Day, gooing for

770
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: the three peat. Andre was in uniform for a for

771
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: a week or two at camel Back Branch. I think

772
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: everybody wants to know what you think about Kyle Tucker

773
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 2: and how he's going to fit in with the Dodgers.

774
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 2: It feels like he wants to blend in and this

775
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 2: might be the perfect place for that.

776
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure.

777
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 4: I think you know, he's a great player. But every

778
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 4: every player out there, whether they're they're they're really high

779
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 4: high level, whether you're you know you're a star, whether

780
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 4: you're you're a role player, has different personalities and how

781
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 4: they fit on the team. I don't know Kyle too well.

782
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 4: I've I've seen him from so far. I think he's

783
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 4: a guy who you know, is you know, classic, walks softly,

784
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 4: humbly and carry a big stick and and you know,

785
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 4: it's work really well for him. I think LA is

786
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 4: the perfect place where it's tough to be a star

787
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 4: ahead of Atani and no one knowing in the league.

788
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 9: Is no one in the world is.

789
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 4: So you have a great, great person you can play

790
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: behind and do your game, and then you have guys

791
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 4: like you know, no doubt, Hall of famers like Freddie

792
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 4: Freeman and soon to be probably pretty close here if

793
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 4: he keeps, you know, another year or two with Luki.

794
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 9: You got guys like that. It's it's tough to overstep them.

795
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 9: What they're doing. You can probably be doing.

796
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 4: In performance, but those guys is, you know, their aura

797
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 4: and their presence is just a lot. And I think

798
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 4: Kyle will fit in perfect with that. And you know,

799
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 4: if he goes and does what he's done the last

800
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 4: seven eight years of his career, he's gonna be a,

801
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 4: you know, a very key part to this team and

802
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 4: moving forward. And you know, I hope the best and

803
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 4: I hope it works out that you know he's able to,

804
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 4: you know, contribut the way you know that he's been

805
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:01,960

00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:02,799

823
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 4: place to be a part of. You know.

824
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 9: It's unbelievable how this.

825
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 4: Team, you know, this team's you know, keeps just going

826
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 4: to New Heights and obviously this the city has supported

827
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 4: them through the lean times, has been there and the

828
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 4: way they're doing it now, the fans keep coming up

829
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 4: and showing out.

830
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 9: Do you have a lot to show up for?

831
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 3: But they they love them.

832
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you this, they haven't forgotten your teams

833
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 2: and yeah, and your Dodgers because you were there from

834
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: the beginning.

835
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: Guys like you, Matt Camp, Justin Turner is still a.

836
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 2: Big fan favorite, rightfully, so really good and I think

837
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 2: that's special that Dodger fans haven't forgotten how great you

838
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 2: guys were too.

839
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 4: Well, you hope they don't. But at the same time

840
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 4: you understand that there's been a lot of success. But yeah, uh,

841
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 4: you know, things have changed, Things change involved so quickly,

842
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 4: and I think this teams have changed and evolved quickly.

843
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 9: Obviously organizationally wise, it has.

844
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 4: I mean the stadium if I didn't step footing it

845
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 4: again from the day I left to now, I probably.

846
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 9: Wouldn't even recognize the stadium. You know how how much

847
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 9: has changed.

848
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 4: And everything's improving, proving for the fans, proving for the players,

849
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: and proving for everything out there. And it should be

850
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 4: because you know, the supports that that city gives. You

851
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 4: should be putting best product on there. You shouldn't be

852
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 4: having a great fan experience. You should have all the

853
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 4: nice stuff that that stadium that for that ownership's giving uh,

854
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 4: to the players, to the city, and it's.

855
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 9: Great and no apologies, no no apologies at all.

856
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 4: When you have that type uh of people behind you,

857
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 4: when you have that many millions of people who are

858
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 4: who are hanging on their seat and who want to

859
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 4: see the success of the team. You're you shouldn't be

860
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 4: apologizing because it's not like it's uh, you know, uh

861
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:29,919

00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 4: up when they show up, and no one said, you know,

00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 3: Did you ever listen to Dodger talk when you drove home?

909

911
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,759

912
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 9: don't like you now.

913
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 4: So that's my prayer life. I don't like you now

914
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 4: because I listened to you too much. You critique my

915
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 4: game too much. So that was what I liked you,

916
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 4: and I I can't liking you less. Every time i'd

917
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 4: go that drive.

918
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,560

00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: a special, this first one in this if the Dodgers

932
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:17,520

935
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 4: exclamation point of being like this is the way to

936
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:26,840

938
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 4: Dodgers are doing, not only for the winning side, but

939
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 4: from the organizational side, from the fans side, from the

940
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 4: media side.
