Speaker 5: Howe you guys doing fantastic? Here we are leading up

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 5: to Game one of this World Series and what a

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: ride it's been for the Toronto Blue Jays, a seven

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 5: game ALCS, George Springer's home running the seventh INNY and

43
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 5: how excited are people in Toronto right now and around

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: this Blue Jays organization? To be back in the World

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 5: Series for the first time since ninety three.

46
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really been that great run man. You know,

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 6: ninety three is when Joe Carter hitt the lockoff home

48
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 6: run off Mitch Williams and beat the Phillies. And you know,

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 6: we've had some great moments in the post station with

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 6: Jose Bautista, Edwin and Carnis shown. And now George Springers

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 6: put himself in that category as well with that dramatic

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 6: home runn in Game seven.

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 7: Hey, great to be with you, Buck, And I'll tell

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 7: you what you know. You talk about the starting rotation

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers the Blue Jays, they got some great

56
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 7: arms too, And and I think it all starts with this

57
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 7: young guy, this Trey Ya Savage. I mean barely twenty

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 7: two years old. His stuff is phenomenal. The splitter never

59
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 7: seems to get there. This is a phenomenal pitch for him.

60
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 7: But his other stuff works really well too. This guy's

61
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 7: already shown that he is a formidable opponent. Maybe you

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 7: can elaborate a little bit about Trey Well Saxy.

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 6: It's amazing. When he makes his start, He's probably going

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 6: to start in game two. And when he makes that start,

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 6: he'll have more postseason starts than regular season starts.

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 8: This kid started out in a ball this year and

67
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 8: made the jump on the way to the big leagues.

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 8: And you're right, he's twenty two years old. He's so

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 8: poised and so humble and so in control of his emotions.

70
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 8: It's been aughly impressive. You know, he set a record

71
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 8: for most strikeouts in a Blue Jays franchise debut. Then

72
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 8: he set a record for the most strikeouts in a

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 8: postseason debut, and he struck out eleven Yankees and took

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 8: a no hitter into the sixth ing before they took

75
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 8: him out. But he's been pretty special. Then took me,

76
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 8: you know, Saxually. You know, as a player, when a.

77
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 6: Veteran team lack the Dodgers doesn't have any information, you know,

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 6: or experience facing a particular picture, it can be a

79
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 6: real challenge. So I think that's worked, and you Savage

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 6: his favor so far.

81
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 5: What makes John Schneider such a good manager for this

82
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:10,839
Speaker 5: Blue Jays team?

83
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 6: Buck, But you know, I think he's in his third

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 6: season now. He's got so many characteristics of the great

85
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 6: Bobby Cox. And I prayed for Bobbie Cox in eighty

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 6: five and he was the best. You know, I've been

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 6: fortunate to pray for our great managers, Whitey Herzog and

88
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 6: Bob Lemon Jack McKeon. But Bobby Cox has had a

89
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 6: tremendous knack for communicating with his players, and he had

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 6: a very short memory. Something would happen that they would

91
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 6: make him upset the next days like it never happened.

92
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 6: And John Snyder has a lot of those characteristics too,

93
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 6: very very young in his managerial career. But what he

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 6: did this spring I think was really important. He emphasized fundamentals.

95
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 6: He emphasized a good contact at the play. No strikeouts.

96
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 6: You know, it's gone against the norm of this analytical era.

97
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 6: Whoever may say strikeouts aren't a bad thing, strike guns

98
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 6: are horrible. Nothing happens when strikeouts happen. And I think

99
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 6: that's right. The Blue Jays have been so good over

100
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: the year and that they just don't strike out. They

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 6: put the ball in play, and when that happens, good

102
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 6: things can happen.

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: Playing agreed percent Buck.

104
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 7: You know, we talk everybody talks about the real bangers

105
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 7: on this team. When you got Guerreo up there that

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 7: can really hit the ball Springer had a magnificent year

107
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 7: with thirty two home runs, but it's really that supporting cast.

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 7: To me, I think that is really good on this club.

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 7: Dalton Varshow is a guy that doesn't get talked a

110
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 7: lot about, but this guy can do some damage. He

111
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 7: had a you know, can hit the ball out of

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 7: the ballpark. He's got a good short swing from the

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 7: left side. And I really like Ernie Clement. This guy

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 7: is a tough out. He's a good defender. And they're

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 7: just loaded with guys that are good players that.

116
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 6: It is sure sectually, and I think the biggest thing

117
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 6: is that everyone on Team All twenty six during the

118
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 6: regular season the end of the postseason knows that there's

119
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 6: a chance they're going to have an impact in that

120
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 6: game on a particular day. And that's the great thing

121
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 6: about this team. Whether it's Miles Straw or David Schneider

122
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 6: or Nathan Lucas from Sack State, he's done a phenomenal

123
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 6: job for this team. And you're right, many of the

124
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 6: rallies for this team this year happened at the bottom

125
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 6: of the order. They would get on base, they would

126
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 6: make things happen, and other guys Isaiah Connor Pilefo who's

127
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 6: been reacquired by the Blue Jays leglar season. But you know,

128
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 6: he started. I think he started the last four postseason games.

129
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 6: They had an impact in every one of them. So

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 6: it's not all about the stars, especially this time of

131
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 6: the year, because everybody pays attention to the stars, and

132
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 6: we saw Otany really had a tough time early in

133
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 6: the postseason. But you know, they focused on the stars

134
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 6: and those extra guys, they're the ones that can come

135
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 6: up with big, key hits in a short series.

136
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: Pluck Martinez our guest here on AM five seventy LA Sports.

137
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 5: You're home with the Dodgers. Game one of the World

138
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 5: Series is Friday night at Rogers Center. I'm going to

139
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: ask you about one of those superstars in Vlad Guerrero Junior,

140
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: against a big contract during the season. What kind of leader?

141
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 5: What kind of guy is he in this clubhouse? Going

142
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 5: to be here a long time. We're in a Toronto

143
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 5: Blue Jays uniform. How beloved is he?

144
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 8: He is certainly in the face.

145
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 6: Of the franchise. And it was interesting after Game seven

146
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 6: he was interviewed on the field and he was very emotional.

147
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 6: His dad never got to win a worse series, and

148
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: I know that he's always wanted to lead this team

149
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 6: to a World Series championship. And you know he thinks

150
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 6: at the season really not strained the bat that well.

151
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: And then boy, the Yankee Series got him really hot.

152
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 6: I think he was nine for seventeen in the Yankee

153
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 6: Series and he's ten for his last nineteen in the Championship.

154
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 8: Series with three devils and three home runs.

155
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 6: But he has taken over the series. Of course, he

156
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 6: like O'tani, was the MVP of the Championship Series. But

157
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: the thing that we all forget is it Bladdy's twenty

158
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 6: six years old. He's just now starting. He really hasn't

159
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 6: reached his prime. He hasn't really learned everything he's going

160
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 6: to know about hitting. But it's going to be a

161
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 6: pretty special World Series to see Otani and Laddy Guerrera

162
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 6: Junior go Turter two.

163
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: Buck.

164
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 7: Do you think these the setup for these two teams

165
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 7: that the Dodgers are obviously a team that is built

166
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 7: to slug. I see the Blue Jays. Can you know

167
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 7: they can hit the ball out of the park too,

168
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 7: There's no question about it.

169
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: But a lot of this team that you talked about

170
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: the lack of strikeouts, productive outs, the fact they play

171
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: good defense, they can run, they do all those different things.

172
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 7: Is this more a series against the futurists, that kind

173
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 7: of a team like the Dodgers, and maybe a throwback.

174
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: Team that you could say more of the Blue Jays.

175
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 6: Well, I love that you send that, Jackson, because that's

176
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 6: exactly what it is in my mind. And you know what,

177
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 6: I know, the Bruers got swept by the die just

178
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 6: because of their great run they had in their rotation.

179
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 6: But the Brewers in the Blue Jays played kind of

180
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 6: old school baseball. Put the battle the ball, run the

181
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: base as well, catch the ball, you know. In there,

182
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 6: I think Game six they turned three double plays and

183
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 6: then twice with the bases loaded. It's just a very

184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 6: good defensive team. I think at the end of several

185
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 6: games this year there were six go blubbers on the field.

186
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 6: And it's a very good defensive team, very athletic team.

187
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 6: And you're right, they don't hit a lot of home runs,

188
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 6: but they get on base. They put pressure on the

189
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 6: pitcher and you know there was an error where everybody

190
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 6: discounted the stolen base that it wasn't important. You're giving

191
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 6: outs away and all the analysts that you know strikeouts

192
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 6: are not a bad game, Well, when you do strike out,

193
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: and when you run the base as well, and when

194
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 6: you steal bases, it's a distraction for the pitcher and

195
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 6: you divide his attention between home plate and the bases.

196
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 6: So I think it's an important way to play, and

197
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 6: I think you're going to see some of the teams

198
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 6: trying to copy.

199
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 4: Yet.

200
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent, Buck, you

201
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 7: nailed it. And last thing for me, Buck, is this

202
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 7: Rogers Center is loud. It's raucous, and this place absolutely

203
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 7: can shake, especially when that lid as they call it,

204
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 7: is closed. It is so loud. They're one of the

205
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 7: loudest places I've ever played in. This place can make

206
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 7: a difference, especially if they get off to a fast start.

207
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: You know.

208
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 6: The interesting thing is this Toronto fan base is remarkable,

209
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 6: and you know they went through ninety two and ninety three,

210
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 6: back to back World Series championships fifteen and sixteen with

211
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 6: Josh Donaldson, Josee Bakisa, Edwin and Connors Young and now

212
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 6: to come back here. This team won seventy four games

213
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 6: last year and now they've improved it by thirty games,

214
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 6: and here they are on the eve of playing the

215
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 6: World Series against the Dodgers. I mean, who would have

216
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 6: thought that. But the fan base is dramatic. We had

217
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 6: six million viewers watching our Game seven, and it's just

218
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 6: it's a national team, there's no question about it. But

219
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 6: everybody is engaged. And we get two of the best

220
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 6: fan bases in baseball, no question about that. The Dodgers

221
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 6: always have great fans support and the Boo Jays have

222
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 6: the same. So it's going to be a wonderful series,

223
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 6: and hopefully we get an extended series so we can

224
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 6: see the strength of both of these clubs.

225
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 5: Well, Buck, we appreciate you coming on this morning. I

226
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 5: don't know what it is about Sacramento. It is like

227
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: the hotbed of baseball over the years, yourself and Steve

228
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: Sacks both Sacramento guys, and we love that about you.

229
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: We really appreciate you. You coming on this morning with

230
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: all their traveling you're doing, and as we get ready

231
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 5: for Game one on Friday night, thanks for doing this

232
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 5: this morning. We really appreciate it.

233
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, Buck.

234
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 8: My pleasure.

235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 6: Hope to take you a little bit later in the series.

236
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: No doubt about it. Thank you. There he goes the

237
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 5: great Buck Martinez, one of the great guys, phenomenal in baseball,

238
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 5: super nice guys. Seventeen years as a player, a manager,

239
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 5: and been broadcasting probably longer than he played.

240
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been.

241
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 7: He's a great broadcaster. He everything he does he does

242
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 7: so well. He's such a nice man.

243
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: Uh.

244
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 7: I wish there were more people like Buck Martinez. He's

245
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 7: just just one of the best.

246
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 5: What is it about the water in the nine to

247
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 5: one six? What's going on up there?

248
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 7: Well, you know, you got to you gotta look at

249
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 7: this is you know, we got phenomenal weather like you

250
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 7: guys do down in southern California. I would trade our

251
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 7: winters probably for your winters because like today, it's probably

252
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 7: gonna rain up here. You got nice weather there. But

253
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 7: I wouldn't trade our summers. Our summers are no humidity.

254
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 7: It's it's hotter than Los Angeles. So people like that

255
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 7: baseball flavor in the hot weather.

256
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

257
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 7: And it's just remarkable. There's so many good athletes up

258
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 7: here too. You know, I could go on and on

259
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 7: and talk about all the players that are from here.

260
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 7: Lucas the number two hitter in the Blue Jays organization

261
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 7: playing in the you know who's in the Actually he's

262
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 7: gonna be playing in the World Series.

263
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 5: He's some Sack state.

264
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 7: So you got you got a good kind of mix

265
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 7: of players from all over. But there's some there's some

266
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,119
Speaker 7: really good play up here in Sacramento.

267
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 5: Well, I think we're going to be joined by another

268
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 5: great Sacramento legend coming up in just a couple of minutes.

269
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 5: Jose Mota is going to join us as well. Get

270
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 5: his thoughts on this World series again. Dodgers fly out today.

271
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: They will head to Toronto tomorrow Media Day, So get

272
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 5: ready for all those fun questions and entertaining answers that

273
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are going to have to give on media

274
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 5: Day with all the national and international media that will

275
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 5: be out there covering this world series. Now that it's

276
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 5: got real international flavor with Yoshinobu Yamamoto and of course

277
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: Rookie Sasaki, some guy named sho hey Otani who's a

278
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 5: global icon. And now you add the Canadian aspect to

279
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 5: this with the Toronto Blue Jays and six million people.

280
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 5: How about that?

281
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: Wow?

282
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 5: Six million people watching Game seven.

283
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 7: This is not a city, tim that the Blue Jays,

284
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays are a country that's back by them. Okay,

285
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 7: there's only one team, and this is a country that's

286
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 7: backing the Blue Jays. So that's why the it's such

287
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 7: a great viewership. Unfortunately for them, it's a huge land

288
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 7: mass that they can only so many people can go

289
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 7: to the game, but watching it on TV many they've

290
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 7: got the whole country in their pocket real quick.

291
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 5: There's a documentary coming out about the death of the

292
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 5: Montreal Expos and talking about what happened when when wrong

293
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 5: in Montreal and why there's not baseball there.

294
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's Yupie's fault.

295
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 5: We can always blame Yupie the mascot for that, because

296
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 5: you go ahead, Do you think we'll ever see baseball

297
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 5: again in Montreal?

298
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 7: There's talk to him. It's a good question. There's talk

299
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 7: about that about the expansion. Next on the list, who

300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 7: may it be?

301
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 5: And they need a stadium and that's the whole other issue.

302
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 7: I guess, yes, they need a stadium for sure. But

303
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 7: that's one of the things that that's talked about, is

304
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 7: would it be in Montreal. I mean they talk about that,

305
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 7: They talk about you know, Nashville, different places, but more

306
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 7: Will is definitely on that list.

307
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think baseball needs to expand by another two

308
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 5: and I think when they do, those cities you just mentioned,

309
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 5: I think are at the top of the Montreal in Nashville. Yeah,

310
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 5: they got to get teams. I mean Vegas is gonna

311
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 5: get one that checks a box. There, I'm out, it's

312
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 5: already done. Yeah, I'm out on Portland. But I think

313
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,640

342
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: Good morning Tam, and good morning homeboy. Man you up

343
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: early at home?

344
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: I am Dusty. I'll tell you what. Thank you for

345
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: coming on, Dusty, Timmy, you go ahead first?

346
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dusty? First off these playoffs, This Dodger run. I

347
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: got to ask you about Friday Night and that performance

348
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 5: from show Hey Otanny and the ten strikeout, six shutout innings,

349
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 5: the three home runs. You've seen a lot of baseball

350
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: in your years. Where does that rank as far as

351
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 5: performances we've seen.

352
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that that probably even ranks higher than

353
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson's home runs against US in the World Series

354
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 3: because Reggie wasn't pitching. I mean, that's what I think

355
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 3: the most awesome thing was was, you know, his arm

356
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: has come back, and how much work he's put into

357
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: you know, his legs and his arm and getting everything healthy.

358
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 3: I mean, if it is so difficult to switch from

359
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: offense to defense in this game of baseball, which people

360
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: don't understand. I always admired catchers because how can the

361
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: catchers track out with basis LOADA and then then put

362
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: the right fingers down the very next inning. So you

363
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 3: know what he did was you know, unprecedented, you and

364
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: you may never see it again.

365
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dusty, thanks so much for coming on today. And

366
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 7: I look at this Toronto team dusting this young kid

367
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 7: that's throwing. Buck Martinez tells us that he's going to

368
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 7: pitch Game number two. That's Trey, You Savage, this guy's

369
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 7: got remarkable stuff. He's so young, he's he's going on

370
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 7: there on a lot of sheer exuberance. But he also

371
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 7: can pitch very very well. That splitter never seems to

372
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 7: get to the plate. A great difference between his fastball

373
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 7: and that splitter. So I think the Dodgers are going

374
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 7: to have their hands.

375
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 5: Full with this guy.

376
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: Well maybe, And you know something, when the problem comes

377
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: sacksally as you know, you know, when you haven't seen

378
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 3: a guy, I mean, you can watch all the video

379
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 3: that you want to, but until you actually see him

380
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: in person, the nod goes to the you know, to

381
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: the pitcher. So I definitely agree with you. You know,

382
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: Dog's gonna have their handsful. But you know, that's a

383
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: veteran lineup. I'm sure they're studying fam on him. They

384
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: try to pick up something. You know, all they have

385
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 3: to do is pick up fastball and something else. And

386
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: that's something else could be a split fair, could be

387
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: a slider or whatever it is. And I'm sure those

388
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 3: veteran hitters over there are doing a lot of studying.

389
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 3: But the main thing that they're doing is concentrating on

390
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: game one. And you know, that's where that's where their

391
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: concentration should be. And then you get the game too.

392
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: You know, whenever you get there.

393
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 5: Dusty Baker Dodger, great baseball, great joining us here on

394
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 5: FI seven e LA Sports. You manage a lot of teams.

395
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: The Washington Nationals, you had a right hander by the

396
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 5: name of Max schurz Or who we're going to see

397
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: in this World Series at the age of forty one

398
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: years old. We saw what he what he did in

399
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 5: this postseason already. Brian Snyder came out, tried to take

400
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 5: him out of a game, tried to talk to him,

401
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 5: and he stared him down and he told him to

402
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 5: go back to the dugout. He wanted to finish his outing.

403
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: Talk a little bit about Max in that persona and

404
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 5: that fire in that belly and having to go out

405
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 5: Dusty as a manager yourself and try to take that

406
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 5: ball from him when you when you managed him, well.

407
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: You know, that's the kind of player that you want.

408
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, there's been a players, a couple

409
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 3: of pitchers that I had. You know, I went out

410
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: to talk to him and they gave me the ball

411
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 3: and I gave it back to him. And so I'm serious,

412
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 3: and I'm like, hey, I'm not coming to take you out.

413
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: And Max, you know, he's the kind of guy that

414
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: you know, never wants to come out, but at some

415
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: point in time, you know, he has to come out,

416
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 3: and you have to ACQUI ask to what the manager wants,

417
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: even though it's it's not a very easy situation. I

418
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 3: remember one time I went out to get Max just

419
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 3: to talk to him, and so I said, hey, man,

420
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 3: you know you got enough. He goes, oh, yeah, I

421
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 3: got enough. Skip And I said, okay, look at me

422
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: in the eye and he and he looks at me

423
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: like I tell all my pictures to do so I

424
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: can see, you know, if you're conning me, or if

425
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: you got enough, or or or if you're scared to

426
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 3: death like I've seen some some pictures are. And he

427
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: told him, and I said, okay, which eye am I

428
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 3: to look at? Because he has one brown eye and

429
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: one blue eye? And so I said, well, which eye

430
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 3: am I supposed to look at? He goes, look at

431
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: the brown eyes. I looked at the brown eye and

432
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: I walked off the mount and I said okay, and

433
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: he got out of the inning. So you know, Max's

434
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: Max's uh, you know, he's one of a kind and

435
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: you know he's he's a guy that's you know, destined

436
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: for the Hall of Fame.

437
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: Hey, Tim, I got to ask you, where are you

438
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: going to get a story like this?

439
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 5: Nowhere else?

440
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: You can't get it anywhere else?

441
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: Right, Well, it's the truth. I came make it up either.

442
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 7: You know, Hey, Dusty, this this team for toronto's a

443
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 7: little bit of a throwback. I mean, they don't strike out,

444
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 7: They got good supporting cast, guys like Varshow and Ernie

445
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 7: Clement is really a good defender and a good player.

446
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: Is this you know?

447
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 7: I asked the guy before, do you think this is

448
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 7: gonna be kind of an old school The Dodgers like

449
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 7: to mash and against the team that's really fundamentally sound

450
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 7: and just puts the ball in play.

451
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 3: It all depends on the pitching, you know. I mean,

452
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: if they can match up with the Dodgers and pitching wise,

453
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: because you know the Dodgers, you know, they got healthy

454
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 3: at the right period of time and got all their

455
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: pitching back, and uh, you know, not only can they

456
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: beat you ten to nine, they can beat you one

457
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 3: and nothing. And you know that's the big big thing.

458
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 3: You know, when we played Saxy. Everybody talks about our

459
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 3: hitting and talk to our speed defense, but hey, it

460
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: starts with the pitching and and and the better your

461
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: pitching is uh uh, and especially if they can go

462
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: deep in the game, because you know a lot of

463
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 3: people have them aligned the Dodgers, you know, bullpen, and

464
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: so as deep as their going in the games, that's

465
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: gonna make it a lot easier on your bullpen. It's

466
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: gonna make it a lot easier for those guys to

467
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: you know, to come out of the bullpen strong. But

468
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, I think a lot would

469
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: have to do with if they can get you know,

470
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: their starting short stopped back and I don't know if

471
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: they can get him back in time for him to

472
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: be you know, himself. And so you know, that's the

473
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: most amazing thing I think that they've marched on, you know,

474
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: without without the schet. Yeah, yeah, he was a key

475
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: man in there in their lineup. But hey man, they

476
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 3: have missed a beat Dusty.

477
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: Final thing for me, and we appreciate you coming on

478
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 5: this whole narrative that the last week or so the

479
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 5: Dodgers are ruining baseball. Dave Roberts joked on the podium

480
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: when they won the NLCS on Friday night and said, hey,

481
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: four more wins to continue to ruin baseball and set

482
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: it sarcastically. Are the Dodgers ruining baseball?

483
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: Where is it?

484
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 5: Why do people want to sit here and say and

485
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 5: point the finger just at the Dodgers for being good?

486
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I don't. I don't think they're ruining baseball.

487
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: You know, I mean they have, you know, skirted around

488
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: some of the rules as far as spending behay, if

489
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 3: you got it. You know, how do you tell a

490
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: rich guy not spend his money?

491
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: Right?

492
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 3: And you know, they were saying the same thing we

493
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 3: were playing about, not about us, but they were saying

494
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: the same thing about the Yankees. And you know, it's

495
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 3: a situation where where you can't if you can't control

496
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 3: yourselves in your own ranks, and you can't blame anybody else.

497
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: So you know, the whole thing is, I think I

498
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: just enjoyed the World Series. You know, cut the nonsense

499
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: and let them worry about you know, if the Dodge

500
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 3: are ruining baseball after this series is over?

501
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, uh, Dusty, the Dodgers last one for me. The

502
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 7: Dodgers bullpen started to come back a little bit. I mean,

503
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 7: this was kind of a source spot for the team.

504
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 7: They were thankful that they had the starting pitchers to

505
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 7: kind of carry the mail. But that bullpen's coming back

506
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 7: a little bit now, trying has been a little bit better.

507
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: Uh.

508
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 7: You know, of course they got Sasaki down there to

509
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 7: close it out. Do you think this is going to

510
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: be a plus for this team or is it still

511
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 7: kind of questionable?

512
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 6: No?

513
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: I think it's a plus, you know, because these guys,

514
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: you know, they might have been overpitched early in the year.

515
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: You know, they were only getting four and a third

516
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 3: or five and a third innings. And uh, you know,

517
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: anytime you got to go to your bullpen every day, uh,

518
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: and you're and you're matching up guys, not for the matchup.

519
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: You're matching up on who the health is and who's

520
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: the uh you know, the most rested. And you know

521
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: that's a formula for failure, you know when you start

522
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 3: doing that. But but you need some guys in there,

523
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 3: some guys that to take you seven to eight innings

524
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: to give you a bullpen a breather, because see, with

525
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 3: everybody going five and a third or or or or six,

526
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 3: well somebody has to cover that three to four innings

527
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 3: every day, and uh, you know it makes it difficult,

528
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: but but you know, you get a couple of horses. Man.

529
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 3: I remember when I had Verlader at the end in Houston.

530
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: You know, I could go full bull pen before he pitched,

531
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: the day before he pitched, and I'd go full bullpen,

532
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: uh you know, the day after he pitched, because I

533
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: know that he was gonna give me seven eight innings.

534
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: And anytime you can have that, you know, that's gonna

535
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: make your bullpen stronger and go make your bullpen fresher

536
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 3: and therefore, uh, you know, probably pitch better.

537
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 5: Dusty, Who do you like in the seven game series

538
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 5: between the Dodgers and Blue Jays?

539
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 3: Hey, man, I know you're gonna ask me. Man, I mean,

540
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: you know, my heart's with the Dodgers. Yeah, but uh

541
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 3: uh uh you know my main man that took care

542
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 3: of me from the day I started, uh in baseball,

543
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: Sito Gassing. You know. I talked to him the other

544
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: day and he's a guy that, uh, you know, was

545
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 3: the first manager to win up there in Toronto. So hey, man,

546
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: I just want a good game, Okay. So I'm not

547
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: being politically correct. I want a good I want a

548
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 3: good series so I don't have to go out and

549
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: clean the garage, you know in the third or fourth inning,

550
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 3: and you know, I want something to go to keep

551
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: me there in my cher except to go get something

552
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,200

00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what kind of guy, how good Dusty is?

567
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 7: I had the I had the broadcasters over here two

568
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 7: different times this year from from the athletics. You know,

569
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 7: they can all come over my house and we have

570
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 7: a nice cookout and we eat some good food. Family

571
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 7: comes over, we have you know, it's a full house.

572
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 7: There's a lot of people here. Both times Dusty come

573
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 7: over and first time he just came over just by chance,

574
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 7: and it was like five minutes before all the broadcasters

575
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 7: came over, and we made it like a little mini tradition.

576
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 7: The next time, Dusty's got to be here, so he

577
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 7: came over the second time too, and he just held

578
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 7: court and I'm till any of these broadcasters are sitting

579
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 7: here with their jaw open listening to these stories the

580
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 7: Dusty imparts with these guys, and it was absolutely phenomenal

581
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 7: listening to this guy. Because Dusty's going to Hall of Fame,

582
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 7: there's no question about it, no doubt. And he's telling

583
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 7: these stories like he just did with.

584
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 2: Max right there. But which guy do I look at

585
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: the brown one or the blue one?

586
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 7: Where are you going to get these stories other than

587
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 7: somebody like him who's seen more baseball from both sides

588
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 7: as a player and as a great manager. Everywhere he goes,

589
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 7: he makes it better. What a coincidence, And it's just

590
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 7: phenomenal to hear the stories, and the broadcasters couldn't thank

591
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 7: thank us enough for him being here and just telling

592
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,280

612
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 4: holding court and no limits for us as kids. By

613
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: the way, it was like we had a long row

614
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: of clubhouse falls, the suns. I mean, that's the environment,

615
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: the culture they had, and it's all connected to this.

616
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 4: As we talk all a load of Junior and the

617
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: kids in the clubhouse. Does it take the same culture

618
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 4: with him wherever he goes? Yes, And one time I go, Dusty,

619
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 4: you know your son is a bat boy, he's a

620
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: little teavy kid. Why exactly, he goes, I learned that

621
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 4: from the Dodgers. I know that having you guys around

622
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 4: his kids in the clubhouse, it actually made us laugh

623
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: and kipt us lose, and not that we had anything

624
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: to deal with it, but you know what, it was

625
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 4: a fun culture and Dusty took that all the way around.

626
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: And it's kind of coming back again because during the

627
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: time in which insurance came around and Da da dah

628
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 4: and kids on the field and players and matters are

629
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 4: bringing that back is so welcoming. That's why you see

630
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: a Vladi Guerrero Jr. Who broke it's stretching with his

631
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 4: dad in the Alfie la Montreal and Luke when he's

632
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: become Yeah, and.

633
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 5: You were around him at a very young age as

634
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 5: he was an angel with his dad there and he

635
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: was in the clubhouse and a round and you've seen

636
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 5: him mature into what he is now in this superstar

637
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: did you see and kind of figure he'd be living

638
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 5: through his dad in a baseball career from a young age.

639
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 5: Could you see those traits even as a young kid

640
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 5: running around the Angel clubhouse?

641
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: No, not at all. What I did see was a

642
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 4: kid that loved the game. He carried around his father's

643
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 4: thirty five inches thirty four ALM's bat around when he

644
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 4: was six seven years old like nothing. He spent time

645
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 4: in the cage after everybody was done hitting the cage,

646
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: all the regular players and guys went up after BP upstairs,

647
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 4: he'd be in that cage hitting off the tee with

648
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 4: a not with a small bat. Now he wanted to

649
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: use the big bats. He was always very sick, you know,

650
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: very sick kid, and just shows so much love for

651
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 4: the game. But I mean, I can't. I never envisioned

652
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: him being better than his father because one of the

653
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 4: things that came into it, came into question originally was

654
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 4: his body shape. And I know there's some teams that

655
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 4: actually expressed to me as an amateur, like I don't

656
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 4: know that we're going to be able to spend a

657
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: lot of money on this guy because look at the

658
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 4: body ship. I'm like, have you seen this guy hit?

659
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 4: Did you ever look at babe Ruth, huh. I'm like,

660
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 4: wait a minute again, no comparisons here. I'm saying, don't

661
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: get so cut up and ignoring the athleticism and knowledge

662
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 4: of the game because somebody doesn't look like the standards six'. Four,

663
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 4: god who's going to be drafting for one if he

Speaker 4: on any of these, kids no matter how they.

711
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 7: LOOK i agree with that one hundred. Percent, HEY i

712
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 7: wanted to ask you. Quickly they both teams spend a

713
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 7: lot of. MONEY i, say so, what you know that

714
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 7: means a little bit maybe to get maybe to buy some,

715
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 7: Talent but so, what they got to go out there

716
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 7: and play and do all the right things to. Win

717
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 7: but teams are kind of different. NOW i, mean they

718
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 7: can both hit some home. RUNS i get That dodgers

719
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 7: have a big edge in that, Department but The dodgers

720
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 7: are a slug.

721
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: Team the other team's.

722
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 7: Not the other team plays, fundamentally they move the runner,

723
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 7: over they have productive, outs they don't strike. OUT i,

724
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 7: mean where do you see this kind of shaping up

725
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 7: this whole?

726
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 4: Series here's WHERE i see. It, OKAY i think that

727
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 4: gradually with The dodgers have gone from The Cincinnati reds

728
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: to The phillies to The. Brewers, right each team different, offense,

729
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: Right but with The, brewers the challenge was they put

730
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 4: the ball in, play they're gonna. Run what do you?

731
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 4: Do you neutralize that by taking care of the first guy? Batting,

732
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 4: okay lead off guy off the basis you utilize.

733
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: Him.

734
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,760
Speaker 4: Okay the other thing, is now you see more detail

735
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 4: information about The Blue. Jests for, example they let all

736
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 4: the base one batting average collectively and it does. Matter

737
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 4: batting averages, Matter, okay on base percentage three thirty, three

738
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 4: that's at the. Top so they swing the. Bat here's

739
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 4: another thing, too even though they you Know dodger's, lug

740
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 4: what four for forty one is a, Team, well they

741
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 4: slug four twenty. Seven that's not a whole lot of

742
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 4: difference there if you think about, that. Right but here's another.

743
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: One The Blue jests are not into this deep at

744
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 4: bats type. Thing they want to go out there and

745
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 4: swing the. Bats and if you see the pitches for platter,

746
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 4: pins they want to go out there and just find

747
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 4: one thing early and, swing not work, counts not pass the.

748
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 4: Baton they will do that if they need, to but

749
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: they're looking to crush and they absolutely they crush saxy

750
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: non fast. PULSE i mean they sit on, stuff they

751
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 4: don't miss. It so the dollars of vantage is. This

752
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: The valuers have every single. Starter they can blow your

753
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 4: little the fastball and spot it. Well but also they

754
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 4: have every single starter has very good secondary. Stuff so to,

755
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 4: me that is a match in WHICH ecp, approach how

756
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: they're facing, you how they're taking, pitches and you, go,

757
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 4: okay let's go to a command number two and PLAN

758
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 4: b BECAUSE i see the approachure. Now but the other

759
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 4: thing to the bligious because they put ball and play so,

760
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 4: much they get into a lot of double. Play so

761
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 4: you gotta defend well and understand that they're not going

762
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 4: to steal a lot of. Basis but may you gotta

763
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 4: be on your. Toes but everything and especially when they

764
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,200
