00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: They say. The hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

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

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: It's winning it again this Yearning is.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,000

Speaker 5: good weekend to kind of decompress and then get reset

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 5: like the Dodgers did yesterday in Milwaukee once they found

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: out who they're playing now in this NLC. Yes, they

43
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 5: found out Saturday night after the Milwaukee Brewers beat the

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 5: Chicago Cubs in Game five of that series and flew

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 5: out Yesterday went through a light workout in Milwaukee right

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: after they landed. David Vasse was out there. He'll join

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 5: us coming up at the eight o'clock hour. But the

48
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 5: Dodgers are rested. The Dodgers are re loxed, they're reloaded,

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: and they're ready to go. And I cannot wait for

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 5: this series. The best team in the National League during

51
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 5: the regular season against the best team in baseball and

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 5: the Dodgers.

53
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, we're gonna find that out. And uh, you know,

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 7: five games are gonna be played within six days here,

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 7: So that's that's good news. This week, we're gonna get

56
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 7: a lot of this, a lot of this, you know

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 7: wonder uh to the window. It's gonna be thrown out

58
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 7: because we're gonna we're gonna know, we're gonna know for

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 7: sure where these teams stand. But you know, this this

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 7: thing that the uh you know, Brewers are trying to

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 7: throw out everybody where, just average joes, as they say,

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 7: you buying that, tim, Just average Joe's out there for

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 7: this team that won but ninety seven games.

64
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: They won a lot of games. They're the best team

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: in baseball over the course of one hundred and sixty

66
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 5: two games. I love their manager, Pat Murphy. We're gonna

67
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: hear from him coming up at the bottom of the hour.

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: He talked to the media last night and I was mesmerized.

69
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 5: He went around the room and got every name of

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: every new Japanese or international reporter that was there that

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 5: came in to cover this series. He wanted to know

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 5: who they were, where they were from. He is a

73
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 5: guy who is very charismatic. He tells the truth. He

74
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 5: doesn't give you any bs. I love that about him.

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 5: He's a longtime college baseball coach at Notre Dame in

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: Arizona State. I love everything about him. With that being said,

77
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: I feel like his team feeds off of him as well.

78
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: They're gritty, they're dirty, they play old school baseball. They

79
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: play in essence, sort of a college baseball way. They

80
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 5: hit and run, they run abound the base, pass a lot.

81
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 5: They were the number one running team in the National

82
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 5: League this year, only behind one other team in all

83
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 5: of baseball, and I think it was either Tampa Bay

84
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 5: or Miami. I don't remember off hand, but this is

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: a team that kind of mirrors with the way their

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: manager is. And yeah, they may call themselves the average Joes,

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 5: and the price tag next to these guys' names may

88
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: not be as much as some of these Dodger players,

89
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: but this is a good team full of really good

90
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 5: players and a lot of young talent on the Milwaukee team.

91
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, they are they they got a good bullpen too,

92
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 7: They pitch well, they're they're well schooled, and you know

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 7: they know the game. That the kind of the old

94
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 7: school that you were talking about is true. That's the

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 7: way they play. Their gritty uniforms are dirty all the time.

96
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 7: They play tough baseball, and they're gonna be you know,

97
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 7: they're not gonna be a pushover, that's for darn sure.

98
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 6: We know that through the regular.

99
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 7: Season the Brewers beat the Dodgers six, six out of six.

100
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 7: So there's something to that, I guess you could say.

101
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 7: But in essence, this is a new season. This is

102
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 7: the third season within a whole season, I guess you

103
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 7: could say. And so the fact that they won six

104
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 7: games at of six, you can throw that out too,

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 7: because you know, there's too many times where and I've

106
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 7: experienced it a couple of times in my career, where

107
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 7: you know, one team dominates another team during the regular

108
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 7: season and then postseason is another story. You just you

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 7: just get completely turned around and slaughtered by the team

110
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 7: that you pretty much manhandled throughout the year.

111
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that was the case for the Dodgers because

112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: they were a different team in the regular season, I think,

113
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 5: and Dave Roberts, who are going to hear from it

114
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 5: a couple of minutes, alluded to it yesterday when he

115
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: spoke to the media that they were a team that

116
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: had a lot of injuries at the time when they

117
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 5: faced the Brewers in that stretch of the six games.

118
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 5: It was in the mid part of the season. The

119
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 5: Dodgers weren't healthy with their starting rotation. They didn't have

120
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: Blake Snell, they didn't have Rokie Sasaki, they were banged up,

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 5: Max Munty was hurt. It was a different looking Dodgers

122
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: team on the field. And so they're gonna get a

123
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 5: new look Dodgers, a team that is certainly healthy and

124
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 5: ready to go. And I just can't wait for that.

125
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 5: If it was the Cubs or the Brewers, I was

126
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: looking forward to it either way, because the cream of

127
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 5: the crop always rises when you get to this part

128
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 5: of the season. The best of the best always find

129
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: a way to win and move on. And that's the

130
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 5: case with the Dodgers and the Brewers. Heck, in twenty eighteen,

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 5: let's not forget that was a really good NLCS that

132
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 5: the Dodgers went toe to toe with the Brewers. And

133
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 5: if not for a great catch from Chris Taylor in

134
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 5: less center field late in that series and some big

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 5: home runs, including one from Yassio Puig, things could have

136
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 5: been drastically different. And who knows if this run is

137
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: what it is with the Dodgers. Certainly it extended it

138
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 5: for a second year going to the World Series. They

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 5: end up losing to the Red Sox. But this is

140
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: gonna be a fun, fun series with the Brewers who

141
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 5: don't have the starting pitching that the Dodgers do. They're

142
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 5: gonna go more opener bullpen games. It's gonna be a

143
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 5: different kind of piece it together from Pat Murphy as

144
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 5: compared to the Dodgers, where they're coming in locked and lower.

145
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 5: You kind of feel like when they get off the bus,

146
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 5: this is this Dodgers team that looks the part, feels

147
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 5: the part. They got all the stars. They look right

148
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: coming off the bus going to the stadium, whereas the

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 5: Brewers are kind of that team they just kind of

150
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 5: get off the bus carrying their own bash, trying to

151
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: figure out how to get to the stadium.

152
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, these guys are they're they're kind of guys are

153
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 7: gonna bring their lunch to work if you will, that

154
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 7: kind of a narrative, and they do. They do feed

155
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 7: off of their manager Murphy, no question about it. And

156
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 7: this is how they were able to, you know, go

157
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 7: through the times of the year where you're gonna have lapses,

158
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 7: You're gonna have people that don't have, you know, their

159
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 7: typical years. You're gonna have slumpsuit out the year. And

160
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 7: they were able to overcome all of that by just

161
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 7: playing good fundamental baseball. And I think sometimes we get

162
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 7: lost in all the glamour and glitz of you know,

163
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 7: the hype that's up out there and social media and whatnot.

164
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 7: But this team is pretty grounded and they play good quality,

165
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 7: fundamental baseball. You know, they catch the ball with two hands,

166
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 7: and they do the right thing, They throw the right bases,

167
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 7: they don't make too many mistakes, and they don't beat

168
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 7: themselves and that's the key to winning.

169
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 5: Let's hear from the manager Dave Roberts and his media

170
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 5: session last night in Milwaukee.

171
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 8: They're just gritty, they're tough, and they take on Mrshed personality,

172
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 8: and there's got some They've got some guys that can slug,

173
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 8: They've got you know, some athleticism, they really defend well,

174
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 8: they can pitch well. So it's like they're going to

175
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 8: be in every game. They've got complete buy in and

176
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 8: so they're hungry. So those things are you know, components

177
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 8: that are scary. I think we're in a much better spot,

178
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 8: you know, just as far as on the health side,

179
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 8: on the position player side, on the pitching side, and

180
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 8: we're playing better. So yeah, it should be a great series.

181
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 8: Show He is going to pitch one game this series,

182
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 8: so you know it's one game, and then you have

183
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 8: two other guys that potentially can pitch on regular rust

184
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 8: and so how do you get you know, sort of

185
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 8: your best pitchers the most innings in a potential seven

186
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 8: game series. So I expect a different output from from

187
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 8: Showhy on the offensive side this series. But yeah, pushing

188
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 8: them back, no, was no bearing on the offensive performance.

189
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 7: As you guys travel around the country and get out

190
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 7: of LA, do you sense that fans are happy to

191
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 7: see you guys at the top or do you think

192
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 7: fans might want to see some fresh blood.

193
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 8: I think I think they're happy to see us. I

194
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 8: think they're happy to see us. You know, people love

195
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 8: for fresh blood until you potentially see TV ratings. But

196
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 8: I think they like seeing the Dodgers, whether they don't

197
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 8: like rooting against us or rooting for us. But we've

198
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 8: had a lot of good players. I think we do

199
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 8: things the right way as far as how we play

200
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 8: the game, so I think they like seeing us, even

201
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 8: here at Milwaukee.

202
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 5: All right, there's the manager, Dave Roberts talking in the

203
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 5: media last night after their workout an American Family Field.

204
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 5: A couple of things. One, show hey Otani will not

205
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 5: start game two tomorrow. That was kind of surprising to me.

206
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: I thought that they were gonna go with the same

207
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: thing they did in the last series, Blake Snell Game

208
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: one Game two would be show Heyotani with the off

209
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 5: day built in on Wednesday to travel. But Dave Roberts

210
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 5: said they're gonna go Yamamoto game two. Looks like they're

211
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 5: gonna go Tyler klass now game three and Shoeyotani's gonna

212
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 5: pitch Game four, meaning, as Dave Roberts just said, show

213
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 5: Heyotani's only gonna pitch in one game in this NLCS

214
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 5: as a starter. It does open the door, Steve Sacks.

215
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: If this game goes six seven games, if necessary, we

216
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: most likely will see show Heyotani pitch out of the

217
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 5: bullpen in relief in one of those latter games, based

218
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 5: on the fact that he's only getting one start and

219
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 5: that's in the middle of this series in game four.

220
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: I like this strategy, And keep in mind, this isn't

221
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 5: just the Dodgers putting on the names of the starters

222
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 5: in a hat and then picking him out and saying, oh, okay,

223
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 5: here's the order we're gonna go with. In the NLCS,

224
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 5: there's a lot of thought, there's a lot of research,

225
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 5: there's a lot of analytics that has gone into this decision.

226
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, they've They've done their their share of analytics on this,

227
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 7: believe me, because this is kind of a I guess

228
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say a shocker, but you know, people were

229
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 7: expecting to get the most out of the arm of Otani,

230
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 7: so why not pitch him in game two? But you know,

231
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 7: it is what it is. I think they really want

232
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 7: him to concentrate on on the offensive part of it,

233
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 7: and you know he's so valuable that I don't know

234
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 7: if they can win without Otani being himself on the

235
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 7: offensive side of it.

236
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 6: He's he's too important to this team. He's gotten so

237
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 6: many instant leads.

238
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 7: Just by being in the leadoff spot for him to

239
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 7: hit the ball out of the ballpark, and you know,

240
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 7: after after you lead off the first inning, there's there's

241
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 7: really not a leadoff hitter. So he he drives and

242
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 7: runs too, so we need the Dodgers need him to

243
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 7: do that. He's too valuable, so I think that's what

244
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 7: they wanted to concentrate on.

245
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: That is the reason why he's only pitching Game four

246
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 5: and could come out of the bullpen later in this series.

247
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 5: They need his offense more than they need two starts

248
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: out of him in this series. They can get other

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 5: starts out of other starting pitchers on this Dodgers roster.

250
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 5: But the fact that in this postseason show Heyo Tani's

251
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: hitting one forty eight, two home runs, five RBIs, and

252
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 5: only two extra base hits, and those came in Game

253
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: one of the Wildcard Round. He doesn't have an extra

254
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 5: base hit since Game one against the Cincinnati Reds. They

255
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 5: need his slug they need his bat at the top

256
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 5: of the lineup. This is the reason why he is

257
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: only gonna make one start in the NLCS, and I'm

258
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 5: okay with that. If you can have him pitching in

259
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 5: the back end of the game in Game seven and

260
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: a potential win or go home situation, sign me up

261
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 5: for that. Is because the luxury of this starting staff

262
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 5: that they have now in twenty twenty five, this is

263
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 5: why they can do this.

264
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, and if you think about it, he could be

265
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 7: pitching in the clincher game yep, right in game four. Yeah,

266
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 7: if they if they take the first three, you know,

267
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 7: he could be the guy that does it. So you

268
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 7: know it would be more emphasis on the pitching obviously

269
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 7: at that point.

270
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 6: But you know, the Brewers are a scrappy team.

271
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 7: I don't see this going I don't see this guy

272
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 7: he going four straight either way, and I fully expect

273
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 7: this to be a you know, a knockdown, drag out

274
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 7: type of a fight to the finish.

275
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 5: It's it's interesting because we've been talking and taking calls

276
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: and people have been chatting about this really since Otani

277
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: came back as the pitcher. Well, should he be a

278
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 5: pitcher only? Should be a hitter?

279
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 6: Only?

280
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 5: How long can he keep up being this dual threat

281
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 5: two way player. Does one suffer when the other is happening?

282
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 5: Like when he pitches, is he not a good hitter? Well,

283
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 5: the numbers have shown that, Yeah, his numbers go down

284
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 5: on the days he pitches, and certainly having a day

285
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 5: off after he pitches built in has helped him in

286
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 5: recovery in the second half of the season. But yeah,

287
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 5: to think that they just thought, oh, well, we have

288
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: other guys we want O'toni just to make one start.

289
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 5: They one thousand percent looked into the analytics of what

290
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: this looked like for show heyl Tani, who could be

291
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 5: on the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers. The situations were

292
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: all played out. This is a matchup game. This was

293
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 5: all looked at and dissected underneath the microscope by a

294
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 5: lot of different people to come up with this game plan.

295
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 5: I think it is the right game plan for the

296
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 5: Dodgers in this situation. When you've got a Blake Snell,

297
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 5: when you've got a Yamamoto, when you've got a Tyler

298
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 5: Glass now, and heck, when you've got an image Shean

299
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: that you can use as a bulk inning guy with

300
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: an opener in one of these games of a seven

301
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: game series.

302
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 7: I'm okay with all this. Yeah, you got to death, Tim.

303
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 7: This is what the Dodgers plan for a long time.

304
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 7: They planned on holding no Tani back so he could

305
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 7: be the strongest point of his pitching part of the

306
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 7: game when it's a showtime, when it's this time of

307
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 7: the year, the playoff situation. So this fits perfect with

308
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 7: their strategy going back to spring training and making sure

309
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 7: that they started to move off later in the pitching

310
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 7: department so that he could be nice and healthy as

311
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 7: far as pitching goes.

312
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 6: This is this.

313
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 7: Is Otanian may. If it was a regular season, then

314
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 7: he was starting. You know, he was pitching regularly. I

315
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 7: guess you could say it was probably June, but that's

316
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 7: where it is. There's not a lot of bullets have

317
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 7: been shot off in that arm this year, so he's

318
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 7: right in line right now.

319
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 6: Being at the top of his game in the pitching apartment.

320
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 5: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy. We

321
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 5: got time for your phone calls all show long, and

322
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 5: we want you to be a part of it. Coming

323
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 5: up at the bottom of the hour, we're going to

324
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 5: hear from the manager, Pat Murphy from the Milwaukee Brewers.

325
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: We'll get a little history lesson for the city of Milwaukee.

326
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 5: Coming up at the end of hour one. Jeff Levering,

327
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 5: the voice of the Brewers, is going to join us

328
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 5: at seven o'clock. Get his take on this team coming

329
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 5: into this series. We'll hear from the Game one starter

330
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 5: Blake Snell. Coming up a little bit later on in

331
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: the show. David Vase will join us live from Milwaukee

332
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: as well, and of course Steve's Keys at the end

333
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 5: of the show. Dave Roberts alluded to it when he

334
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 5: was asked, and he was asked couple of times yesterday

335
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: and his press conference. You hear just one of the

336
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 5: times he was asked and his answer. This whole narrative

337
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 5: now is being brought up. It's the evil Empire, and

338
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: it's not necessarily that name, but they're saying, you know,

339
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: it's David Bertha's Goliath's, it's the big Dodgers with the

340
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 5: payroll against the average Joe's. It's the big bad team

341
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 5: from Los Angeles against the little team from Milwaukee. This

342
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 5: is how it's being portrayed. This is how it's being

343
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: built up, right or wrong, however you want to look

344
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: at it. But this is interesting now that the Dodgers

345
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: are facing this all the time now, and it's the

346
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 5: narrative that now been brought up. And I think we

347
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: should have expected it, right the Dodgers. You win, you're successful,

348
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 5: you got the payroll, and you get on this kind

349
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 5: of stage. Now everybody's thinking of you as the big

350
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 5: bad wolf as every time you come to town.

351
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the passive aggressive approach.

352
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 3: You know.

353
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 7: Oh, you know, woe is me, poor us. We can

354
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 7: barely afford the petro to get the team back and forth,

355
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 7: you know, from Milwaukee to LA because we just don't

356
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 7: have that kind of money. But we do it anyway,

357
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 7: reluctantly to try to get our team there and safe

358
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 7: and sound. That's kind of what they sound like, but

359
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 7: you know it's not gonna work. The team certainly is

360
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 7: not falling for the average joke because they're not. They're

361
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 7: anything but average. And you know, they're kind of like

362
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 7: that quiet guy in the back that's you know, doesn't

363
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 7: say much. Those are the guys you have to watch

364
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 7: out for. And that's kind of what Milwaukee has. They

365
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 7: got talented guys. They've got a good culture on this team,

366
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 7: like the Dodgers have great culture that matters. It's different

367
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 7: than the Dodgers, but it's it's a real thing. There's

368
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 7: no question about it. You don't win that many games

369
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 7: this year just by, you know, showing up and getting lucky.

370
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 7: This is a good, well schooled, fundamental club.

371
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 5: And the big bad Dodgers getting off that plane in

372
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: Milwaukee yesterday, all intimidating looking, all wearing their matching travel

373
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 5: sweat outfits as they get off the plane in Milwaukee

374
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 5: and head to America. Family feel to go through the

375
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: workouts all in Unison. It's like the big bad evil

376
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 5: Empire showing up. I mean, I don't like this villain role.

377
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 5: I don't I don't like being the team everybody hates Saxy.

378
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 5: I never want to be in that role. And I

379
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: thought of the Yankees as that evil empire in New

380
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: York and what they did with George Steinbrenner all those years.

381
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: I don't like this. I don't want to be the

382
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 5: evil Empire.

383
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 6: You want to be the underdog. It's a lot easier

384
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 6: to live with, right.

385
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 7: And I'm sure missus Kates would rather they be the

386
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 7: evil Empire. Then you're not going to stress and fret

387
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 7: and frown all the time and worry about the Brewers.

388
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 7: Don't worry about the Brewers. It's gonna be what it is.

389
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 7: So I know, sometimes Tim, you get, you know, kind

390
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 7: of all balled up and worry about this sometimes this team, Yes,

391
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 7: sometimes all the time, all the time. Okay, but remember

392
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 7: that the Dodgers have been here a lot more than

393
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 7: the Brewers have.

394
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 6: They understand how this all works.

395
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 7: They're not going to get caught up in the moment,

396
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 7: and I think that's that's why they have such a

397
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 7: good advantage.

398
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,239
Speaker 5: Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. Will

399
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,439

Speaker 5: in the seven o'clock allury you'll hear from Blake Snell

422
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 5: as well. David Vassi will check in a little after

423
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: eight o'clock this morning as the Dodgers had a workout

424
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 5: yesterday in Milwaukee after flying out Sunday morning once they

425
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 5: found out who they are playing in this NLCS. They

426
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 5: had a nice workout yesterday in Milwaukee. And now get

427
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 5: ready for Game one tonight. They were zero and six

428
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 5: against the Brewers during the regular season. By the way,

429
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: was looking up the six games, three of which were

430
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: played right before the All Star Break, and then the

431
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 5: next three were the first three games coming out of

432
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: the All Star break, and it was a stretch in

433
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 5: with Milwaukee had won like ten in a row going

434
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 5: into the All Star break. They were red hot. The

435
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 5: Dodgers sitting Yamamoto, Kershaw and class Now out against them

436
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee, and then when they returned home for the

437
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: three game series, it was class Now, Shean and Kershaw again.

438
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 5: So Clayton Kershaw made two of the four starts in

439
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 5: those six games against them. I looked it up in

440
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 5: as far as the bullpen, it's got con. I counted

441
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 5: real quick at least five different relievers who pitched in

442
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 5: those six games who aren't even on the Dodgers postseason roster,

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 5: four of which aren't even on the team anymore, but

444
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 5: yet they were arms they needed during the regular season

445
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 5: and kind of filled in at times during il stand.

446
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's a much different looking Dodgers team arms wise.

447
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 5: I mean, let alone Max Months, he's healthy, Tommy Edmond's healthy.

448
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 5: This lineup is healthy right now, arms wise, from the

449
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: starting pitching to the bullpen. It is a completely different

450
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 5: looking Dodgers team than what the Brewers saw in July.

451
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, a couple things too, Tim.

452
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 7: I always believe that the team that's going to win

453
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 7: in postseasons is a team that pitches the best down

454
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 7: the stretch and coming into postseason and then throughout it.

455
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 7: And that's what I think the Dodgers have the advantage there.

456
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 7: As you just pointed out, this is a you know,

457
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 7: the fact that they lost six games out of six

458
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 7: means nothing really because this is a different season now,

459
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 7: this is the postseason. As we talked about before, there's

460
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 7: three seasons spring training, regular season, postseason. This doesn't really

461
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 7: mean much that they psychologically, the Dodgers aren't gonna buy that.

462
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 7: They're not gonna say, wow, this team is six, six

463
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 7: and zero better than us. Everybody knows that's not the case.

464
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 6: Now.

465
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 7: The other thing is there's too many examples of this

466
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 7: how it flips. And usually if you dominate a team

467
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 7: during the year, I mean really dominate them, like this

468
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 7: small sample size of the six games you can look to,

469
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 7: that's kind of a It's not really a great position

470
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 7: to be in if you're the six, if you're the

471
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 7: one that won the six, because you know you're not

472
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 7: that much better.

473
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 6: Than this team, if at all. In eighty one, you know, No.

474
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 7: Eighty eight, we like I said, we beat the Mets

475
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 7: in postseason. They beat us ten of eleven games. During

476
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 7: the season, they just slaughtered us. They had our number.

477
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 7: We're lucky we had one game rained out because we

478
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 7: probably would have lost that one. But postseason we beat them.

479
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 7: In eighty three. We just dominated the Phillies. During the season,

480
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 7: we won eleven of twelve. We just had their number.

481
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 7: They couldn't beat us to save their lives. Postseason first

482
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 7: they were the first tier in the postseason for us.

483
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 7: They beat us fourth straight. So you just can't tell

484
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 7: it means nothing and everybody knows it.

485
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, the stakes are higher, more eyes are

486
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 5: on you. And that's just from the outside part of

487
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 5: the game. Then you get to the game itself, Guys

488
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 5: tend to pucker up a little bit. Things get a

489
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 5: little tired. The outs mean more than they do during

490
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 5: the regular season because you're counting twenty seven and you're

491
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: playing out to out, inning to inning In postseason baseball,

492
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 5: it's under a microscope more and certainly every bat means something.

493
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 5: Over the course of, you know, one game of a

494
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 5: seven game series. Everything just is magnified come the postseason.

495
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 5: Some teams, some players rise to that occasion. So far,

496
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 5: we've seen the Dodgers elevate their game, and they've been

497
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 5: in this situation before. The Brewers haven't been pasted the

498
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 5: first round, I believe in five of the last six

499
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 5: years is what it's been. So this is a little

500
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: bit unfamiliar territory for a team that they call themselves

501
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 5: just the average Joes. Now, certainly they were able to

502
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 5: get it done in Game five of the NLDS against

503
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: the Chicago Cubs, but bigger stage next round, brighter lights

504
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 5: against the Dodgers, Well, we'll see how they come out.

505
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 5: For a team that likes to run, likes to play

506
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 5: the fundamentals, likes to play good defense and count on

507
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 5: putting the ball in play and putting the pressure on

508
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 5: the other team's defense, we'll see how they respond when

509
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 5: the lights shine bright tonight.

510
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 6: I think I think you're you're right about that.

511
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 7: I don't think there's going to be as much of

512
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 7: an asterisk on that thing to say, well, you know

513
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 7: they're going to be too big for the moment. You know,

514
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 7: these guys are professionals too. But I think there's probably

515
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 7: a little bit of that in there. I think what's

516
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 7: going to what's going to get all the oxygen in

517
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 7: the room everybody's going to be talking about, is how

518
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 7: dominant this Dodger pitching staff can be.

519
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: That's what's going to do it. They're going to go out.

520
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 7: There for four games and have to face these four

521
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 7: guys and you know, a bullpen that's much better than

522
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 7: what it started out to be this postseason, and that's

523
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 7: not a comfortable situation. You're going to see a lot

524
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 7: of tough at bats Milwaukee's going to be facing. And

525
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 7: it's not to say they can't pitch too, because they can.

526
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 7: But one thing that everybody talks about is the speed

527
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 7: of the team, how much they can run the bases,

528
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 7: and they're going to unravel the Dodger pitching staff.

529
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 6: I don't know if that's true. This team was not the.

530
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 7: Most prolific stolen based team in the American League. I'm sorry,

531
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 7: in all of baseball, because I look at it in

532
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 7: American and National they were thirty stolen bases, less than

533
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 7: what Tampa done.

534
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 6: Tampa stole one hundred and ninety four. They stole one.

535
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 7: Hundred and sixty four. But guess who was Tim Let

536
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 7: me just guess, I mean, have you guessed this? Guess

537
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 7: who which team got caught stealing bases more than any

538
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 7: other team? The Milwaukee Brewers. That's right, it was Milwaukee.

539
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 7: They were caught more than anybody. So when you look

540
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 7: at that, you know, you got to kind of look

541
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 7: at both sides of the table here. They stole a

542
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 7: lot of bases, they sole one hundred and sixty four,

543
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 7: but they were caught fifty three times, which is more

544
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 7: than anybody else in baseball.

545
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 6: So you know, there's two sides to it.

546
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 5: Eight sixty six nine, eight seven two five seventy. We're

547
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 5: gonna hear from the manager of the Brewers, Pat Murphy,

548
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 5: a longtime baseball rat, as they say, been around the

549
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 5: game his entire life. Was the head coach at Notre Dame,

550
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 5: was the head coach at Arizona State for a long

551
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 5: time before going to the major leagues, becoming an advisor

552
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 5: at the Padres, an assistant coach and now managers. Second

553
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 5: year with the Milwaukee Brewers. Roman in LA, they should

554
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: be impatient. You're on an FI seventy LA sports. Good morning,

555
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 5: romanin doing.

556
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 3: Good morning, gentlemen. Earlier, Sachs said that the Dodgers can't

557
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: move on without Otani's offensiveness. And I understand what the

558
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 3: Dodgers are doing with the pitching and all that, and

559
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: it's understandable. But the word can't and Dodgers should never

560
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: been used together because the Dodgers could do anything. Last

561
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: year in the World Series, when Otani went and didn't

562
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: do nothing, Freeman showed up and he just went lights

563
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: out hot. So so, uh, don't be worried about Otani.

564
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: He'll do what he has to do. But don't say, Key,

565
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 3: they can't without Otani. I'll tell you who's gonna be

566
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: the big guy in this series. It's gonna be Mookie Betts.

567
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: He's gonna have a really hot series against Milwaukee. That's

568
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: all I have to say. You guys, have a good day,

569
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: all right, All.

570
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 5: Right, appreciate the phone call.

571
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 6: Roman.

572
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 5: It it's tough when shoe Heotani is not producing. It

573
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 5: makes things tough for the Dodgers. It's not that they

574
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: can't win, but certainly it makes things tougher because he

575
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 5: makes his team go at the time on the top

576
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 5: of the lineup. He certainly affects what happens with Mookie

577
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 5: Betts right behind him with all the intentional walks. We

578
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 5: saw that and the reason why the Dodgers beat the

579
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 5: Phillies base open. They walked show Heyo Tani, even though

580
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 5: he had one hit in the entire series. They walked

581
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: him to get to Mookie Betts, who then drew walk

582
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 5: to bring in the tie run in that game against

583
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 5: the Phillies last week. So certainly they can win when

584
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 5: shoe Heyotani is not at his best. But show Heotani

585
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 5: needs to have a better series, and I think that's

586
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 5: reflective the fact that the Dodgers only want him pitching

587
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 5: in one game in a possible seven games.

588
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, well they know the importance of his offense too,

589
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 7: of course. And when you say that he they can't win,

590
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 7: I mean it's you know, you can use whatever words

591
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 7: you want. It's gonna be a lot tougher for them

592
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 7: if if he's not hitting, because he's such a I mean,

593
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 7: if you had, like, you know, nothing against Will Smith

594
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 7: of all, but if Will Smith had a downtime, Well,

595
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 7: you can cover you know, say Munths he's doing well,

596
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 7: or Freddie Freeman can cover that, or you know, they

597
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 7: have so many guys that are offensively talented here that

598
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 7: can cover it. But Shohey is the leader. He is

599
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 7: the big He's a cog in the wheel, and it's

600
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 7: it's just tougher. It's gonna be much tougher. I'll say.

601
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 7: If if he's you know, another one for eighteen coming

602
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 7: up for the next few games. Because he's this team

603
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 7: takes advantage of it. The the margins I think are

604
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 7: going to be smaller, although they were pretty darn small

605
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 7: as it was in the last series. But but I

606
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 7: think that if Otani has his normal type of production,

607
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 7: you know, starts it off with the home run now

608
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 7: and again, and you know, hits the ball the other

609
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 7: way with authority, I think they got a much better chance.

610
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: We heard from the manager Dave Roberts from the Dodgers

611
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 5: last night. Pat Murphy, the manager of the Brewers, spoke

612
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 5: to the media and take a listen. If you're driving

613
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: around right now, you're sitting in traffic getting ready for

614
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 5: work with us on the radio on the app. Take

615
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 5: a list of Pat Murphy, one of the good guys

616
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 5: in baseball, been around the game for decades. Listen to

617
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 5: him talk about his team in this matchup and the

618
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 5: big bad Dodgers coming to Milwaukee.

619
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we're not over confident, that's for sure.

620
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: Dodgers are a powerhouse. What can you say. You know,

621
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: you don't see many commercials.

622
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: In the United States, Canada, Japan, anywhere across the world,

623
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 4: and you don't have Dodgers in it because they have

624
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: the star power and they're great players. I happen to

625
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: think that Mookie Betts is one of the most underrated stars.

626
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: I say underrated.

627
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 4: That's kind of crazy, right, But I don't think Mooki

628
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 4: Betts gets the credit that Freddie Freeman's like my favorite

629
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 4: person player in the game. He's ruined Brewer's history many times,

630
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 4: but I still love him. I think he's terrific player

631
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 4: and even more terrific person.

632
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: Otani, you know, one.

633
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 4: Of the all time greats, and only I don't know

634
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 4: how many years he's played, but he's one of the

635
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 4: all time greats. And then but I think Mookie Betts

636
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 4: is what he's doing transitioning back to the infield and

637
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: playing shortstop on you know, America's team, Like are you

638
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: kidding me?

639
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: And doing it so well? I mean his his performance

640
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: this year.

641
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 4: Is far the most underrated if you're watching baseball on value.

642
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 2: To a team, that dude is some kind of special.

643
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 4: He's like it would be like Steph Curry, like playing forward,

644
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like he could do it

645
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 4: because that's who that's those superstars can do that. Muki

646
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 4: is doing something in our game that's unprecedented.

647
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: I love it.

648
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I respect the whole team to Oskar one of

649
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 4: the great dudes of the game, and he's just performing

650
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: in the clutch. I mean, they got great ones. The

651
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 4: row House kid has killed us. If he hits against us,

652
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 4: he gets a hit and he's been unbelievable. So I

653
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 4: respect that kind of him, I really do.

654
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: How do you appreciate what you guys were able to

655
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: accomplish last night while also you know, understanding what.

656
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I admire this team, you know, I admire the

657
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 4: guys in the clubhouse, what they've overcome, what they're about,

658
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: the who you know.

659
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: I say that a lot.

660
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 4: I hope I'm understood, but I understand myself, but I'm

661
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: not sure anybody else does. But the who that they

662
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 4: are impresses the hell out of me, just like how

663
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 4: they go about their business, how they show up to

664
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: perform every day, what they talk about, how they care

665
00:31:53,720 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 4: about each other. You know, they're not baseball players that

666
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 4: are comfortable. They're still hungry and hungry players. They make

667
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 4: the manager look good, that's for sure. And you know

668
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 4: it's like, I'm just proud as hell of those guys,

669
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: and I.

670
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: Don't underestimate them.

671
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 4: You can't look on paper and say how many of

672
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 4: our position players would be on the Dodgers team.

673
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: You can't.

674
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: You can't really project that many of them would. But

675
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: somehow they find a way. And that's why I really

676
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 4: admire our team. You know, we're gonna we're gonna have

677
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: to piece it together.

678
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: That's how we do it.

679
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 4: It's patchwork, you know, and it's proven to be pretty good.

680
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 4: You know, Yelly calls it the collection of misfit toys.

681
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 4: You know, everybody's been dfaied or moved around or been

682
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 4: through really tough stretches, whatever, and it's kind of all

683
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 4: hands on deck and they're ready to do whatever.

684
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of cool.

685
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 5: All right, there's the manager, Pat Murphy. I love his cannonness.

686
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: I love how he talks about his players respect for

687
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 5: the other team, but he is certainly sexy playing into

688
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 5: this Dodger commercial power, this star power America's team, he

689
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 5: referred to him as. And then we're talking about his team.

690
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 5: We're hungry business like. Not many of our guys would

691
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 5: even be on the Dodgers roster, just a collection of misfits.

692
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 5: Oh whole home. We're just happy to be here. Yeah, Patchwork,

693
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 5: come on, come on, really, you what in ninety seven games, pat.

694
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, nobody's buying it. Nobody's It's a nice little you know,

695
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 7: it's a nice little fluff for the team, and it's

696
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 7: a it's a very humble attitude, and I respect that.

697
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 6: I like that about him. But you know, nobody's buying.

698
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 7: Nobody's buying the essence of, you know, we're just lucky

699
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 7: to be here in this Uh, you know, we're we're

700
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 7: we're not that talented, We're not like Freddy's the nicest

701
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 7: guy in the world, and you know, I want him

702
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 7: as my neighbor. And Mookie Betts is the most underrated.

703
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 7: He sounds like he's working for the Dodgers, doesn't it.

704
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 7: But but he's trying to lower the bar. Okay, he's

705
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 7: trying so these players can jump over it. You know,

706
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 7: we really don't have a chance here, so let's just

707
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 7: have the expectations really low. And meanwhile, you know, he's

708
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 7: probably probably at home saying, we're gonna sweep the Dodgers

709
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,959
Speaker 7: in four. You know, that's probably what he's saying, because

710
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 7: I got their mindset correct, and he does. He's got

711
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 7: their mindset right. But you know what, the Dodgers aren't

712
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 7: going to take these guys lightly. They know this is

713
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 7: one more games than anybody. Okay, that's not happenstance. It

714
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 7: just doesn't you know, fallow in your lap. You got

715
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 7: to do a lot of things right, and they have.

716
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 5: I like him though, I really like Pat Murphy. He's

717
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 5: a he's a baseball rat, so to speak. I mean,

718
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 5: the guy's in his late sixties. He's been around the

719
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 5: game his entire life. I mean, he started his coaching

720
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: career here in southern California at Claremont mud Scripts small

721
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 5: college out here in southern California, and then goes to

722
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 5: the University of Notre Dames there in the eighties and

723
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 5: early nineties, goes to Sandy goes to Arizona State and

724
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 5: builds up and continue that program with the Sun Devils

725
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 5: before making the jump to become an advisor with the

726
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 5: Padres about fifteen years ago, and goes over to become

727
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 5: the bench coach for Craig Counsel in twenty fifteen in Milwaukee.

728
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 5: And then Craig Counsel gets up and leaves for the

729
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 5: Cubs job, and all they do is slide Pat Murphy

730
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: over to become the manager. And what has he done

731
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 5: in now two seasons as the manager of the Milwaukee

732
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 5: Brewers ninety three wins, wins the division, ninety seven wins

733
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 5: most in baseball, wins the division, and now has them

734
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 5: playing in the NLCS. I love this guy. The players

735
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 5: feel like they could run through a wall for this guy,

736
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 5: and I can see where they would do that because

737
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 5: he's got that. And I don't mean this in a

738
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 5: bad way. He has that college baseball mentality and it's

739
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 5: probably it's in his pedigree. You know, build up his guys,

740
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 5: pump up the other team a lot of you know,

741
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 5: you do it through the mind games that he plays

742
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 5: to build up his players and to get the best

743
00:35:59,120 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 5: out of these guys.

744
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's this game at this point, Tim in

745
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 7: postseason is so mental. You know, you can draw lines

746
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,240
Speaker 7: of of you can parallel a lot of these guys

747
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 7: and say, you know, you can take each player and say, Okay,

748
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 7: which guy's better at first, which guy's better in the outfield,

749
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 7: which guy's better in the pitching staff, And you can

750
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 7: kind of parse that out and then get to Okay,

751
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 7: these guys are more talented, so I'm gonna pick these guys.

752
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 7: But that's that's only part of it. The other part

753
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 7: is the mental aspect of the game. And he's got

754
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 7: them going good. And I think that's why this team

755
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 7: is an overachieving team. The record of ninety seven wins,

756
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 7: Do they have the most talent in baseball?

757
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 6: No, they're on there's the most talent.

758
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 7: There's teams that didn't, that aren't even in the playoffs,

759
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 7: that probably have more talent. But that's not what wins it.

760
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 7: It's not what wins it. Well, we had the better

761
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 7: team we were. You may had more talent on the team,

762
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 7: but that you didn't have a better team. The team

763
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 7: worked together, working together, and that's what wins, not not

764
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 7: just talent. If you don't exercise the talent and move

765
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 7: it into harmony with one another on the team. It's

766
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 7: not gonna win. You have a lot of individuals, but

767
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 7: you need teamwork. And that's what That's what Pat Murphy hash.

768
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 5: It also feels like you're describing Dave Roberts, a guy

769
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 5: who makes it all work, puts the ingredients together and

810
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 5: famous for what it's beer. Yes, in the eighteen forties,

811
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 5: thanks to the German immigrants that migrated to the area,

812
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 5: it became known for its beer. It is known as

813
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 5: Bruce City. Thus the Milwaukee Brewers. You've got Schlitz, Pabst, Miller,

814
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 5: and only Miller remains a major brewery in the city

815
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 5: of Milwaukee. There now, of course, dozens of other craft

816
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 5: breweries in the city in Milwaukee. Milwaukee also known as

817
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 5: the Cream City due to its colored bricks use on

818
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 5: its building. The city is the birthplace of the first

819
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 5: practical typewriter, which we don't really use anymore, and it's

820
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 5: also the home of Harley Davidson, the original home of

821
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 5: the iconic motorcycle company, where the current Harley Davidson Museum

822
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 5: still is. Milwaukee also the home and this is probably

823
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 5: something you've well been a part of Steve. The Fister

824
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 5: Hotel haunted.

825
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 6: It is haunted.

826
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 5: Players say that they'll hear things, see things, feel things.

827
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 5: As a visiting team staying at the Fister Hotel in Milwaukee,

828
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 5: which is one of the oldest hotels in the country,

829
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 5: and to this day, some players refuse to even stay

830
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 5: in that hotel. They will not stay there, They'll stay

831
00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 5: somewhere else if the team is staying at the Fist.

832
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 5: Some teams all together will no longer stay at the

833
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 5: Fister because of player complaints. Steve Sacks, all the years

834
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 5: you went to Milwaukee, did you, guys ever stay at

835
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 5: the Fister and have any uh have any.

836
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 6: Running place ghosts. It's the only place we stayed.

837
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 5: Did you ever have any run ins with ghost or

838
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 5: paranormal activity?

839
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 4: No?

840
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 7: I actually didn't. Although if I know a place is

841
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 7: haunted and I'm traveling, I will stay there. I want

842
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 7: to stay there.

843
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 6: I want to see and experience the ghost.

844
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 7: You know, to my knowledge, nobody's really been hurt, so

845
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 7: it's not you know, it's not like you're going to

846
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 7: come out of their wounded.

847
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 5: No, but players say they hear things, lights will flicker,

848
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 5: they will see shadows, doors will open, TVs will turn on,

849
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 5: drawers will open. Uh, things will happen to them, water

850
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 5: will turn on and turn off. Things just happen at

851
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 5: the Fister Hotel in Milwaukee where the Dodgers are playing

852
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 5: this an LCS.

853
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 7: But that's what makes it fun, you know really, I

854
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 7: mean the place is very old. I just remember, you know,

855
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 7: the decor and all that, and it looks that way.

856
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 7: But I think that's part of the allure to staying

857
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 7: at the Fist or you know, you're going back in

858
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 7: time and you might be sharing your room with an

859
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 7: invisible person. But it's okay, and as long as you

860
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 7: don't get hurt. You know, you don't wake up with

861
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 7: a you know, knife in front of you or something,

862
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 7: but it's okay. Well, you know TV flickers on and off. Okay,

863
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 7: you know normally whatever what's that?

864
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 5: That stuff doesn't usually happen though, all of a sudden,

865
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: the lights flicker on, the TV turns on and off,

866
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 5: maybe the water goes and turns on, the shower on

867
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 5: and off.

868
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's I think that's kind of fun.

869
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 7: You know, Oh, what's gonna happen next? Now, it's kind

870
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 7: of like a little treat.

871
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 5: You never experienced anything, but no any teammates, coaches traveling. Yeah,

872
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 5: in all the years and teams you were with.

873
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I had.

874
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 7: I can't remember who this was, but it was early

875
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 7: when I was in the American League, so it was

876
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 7: in like eighty nine or ninety when I had playing

877
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 7: with the Yankees, and I remember that there was some

878
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 7: guys that said that, man, and they didn't want to

879
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 7: talk about it. That's the thing about it. I just

880
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 7: don't want to talk about it. That type of an attitude.

881
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 7: Really gosh. I mean I didn't experience anything. I saw nothing.

882
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 7: I was like Sergeant Schultz, man, I.

883
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 5: Saw scared of you. The ghosts were scared of you.

884
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 5: They didn't want to haunt you. They're like, man, this guy,

885
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 5: this guy's gonna kick our butts. Let's go to the

886
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 5: next room.

887
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 6: You just go right through them.

888
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: Though.

889
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 7: I threw a punch at one of these ghosts and

890
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 7: it just went Who just went right through them.

891
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 6: There's no big deal.

892
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 5: It can also, I mean, not only is it gonna

893
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 5: mess with you.

894
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 7: I went up against the ghost once and this ghost

895
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 7: was yoked. I'm telling you, these guys they can they

896
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 7: can get as big and ripped as they want. You know,

897
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 7: they're ghosts. Hell, they can do whatever they want.

898
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 5: I mean it if it doesn't actually happen to you

899
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 5: and experience a paranormal experience. I mean, I got I

900
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 5: gotta imagine it's gonna mess with you if you're laying

901
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 5: there in your hotel bed, can't sleep, and next thing

902
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 5: you know, you got a game in Milwaukee the next

903
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 5: afternoon and you're like, I I got like two hours

904
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 5: of sleep because I was freaking out about ghost You're

905
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 5: not gonna play, well, you're gonna be tired.

906
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 6: Yeah. That that does.

907
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 5: That psychological warfare right now.

908
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wonder how much they're pushing that too. I mean,

909
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 7: if it was that is that was the case, why

910
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 7: you just stay at the Hilton or something?

911
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 6: Right?

912
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 7: I think some teams have kind of gone from the

913
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 7: Fist or because of that, like you said, and they

914
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 7: just wanted to kind of take that out of their mind,

915
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 7: so they'll go to the Hilton or the you know whatever.

916
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure and I have to look this up.

917
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 5: Milky Mookie Betts does not stay at that hotel anymore

918
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 5: and refuses to go there.

919
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 6: And I don't know if he saw something or heard something.

920
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 6: You know.

921
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 5: That's a good question.

922
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 6: I don't know.

923
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 5: When the series is over in the Dodgers' advance, I

924
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 5: think that's something to ask him. I'm sure he's addressed
