Speaker 5: Take on that.
Speaker 2: Happened, It's for you.
Speaker 5: Welcome to a World Series edition of Dodger Talk. Get
Speaker 5: in on the action. At eight sixty six.
Speaker 2: This guy eats Breeze, sleeps Baseball.
Speaker 5: Dodgers World Series Baseball list brought to you by La
Speaker 5: County Public Works Recycling Beverage Containers is a triple play
Speaker 5: and by Children's Hospital LA, creating hope and building healthier
Speaker 5: futures for over one hundred twenty four years. Now we
Speaker 5: go to your award winning broadcasters of the world champion Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Here's your host of Dodger Talk.
Speaker 6: It's only been fourteen years. Every day, David Basse, we
Speaker 6: are live at Dodgers Stadium. After the Blue Jays shockingly
Speaker 6: beat the Dodgers in Game four and now Game five
Speaker 6: to take a three games to two lead in the
Speaker 6: World Series.
Speaker 2: Tonight, the final score six to one.
Speaker 6: David vass with you until ten o'clock tonight here on
Speaker 6: AM five to seventy LA Sports. We are going to
Speaker 6: get more postgame reaction. You'll hear from Blake Snell, Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 6: Keike Hernandez, and Will Smith.
Speaker 2: Jose Moto will check in and we have a full.
Speaker 6: Border calls, not shocking, full border calls tonight and hey,
Speaker 6: I'm here. I'm here to answer all of your questions.
Speaker 6: You want to bring the heat. Disappointing night from my guy,
Speaker 6: Blake Snell, your guy, Blake Snell. Two losses in the
Speaker 6: World Series, after being the best pitcher in the postseason
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers up until this point, allowing just two
Speaker 6: earned runs in his previous starts before the World Series,
Speaker 6: and now again giving up five earned runs and six
Speaker 6: and two thirds innings. The most disappointing and support rising
Speaker 6: part of this is that he gave up back to
Speaker 6: back home runs to start the game. That's right, David
Speaker 6: Schneider ambushed a first pitch fastball ninety seven at the
Speaker 6: top of the strike zone for a home run, and
Speaker 6: then Vladimir Guerrero Junior did the same thing, not on
Speaker 6: the first pitch and not in that same area, but
Speaker 6: it was a fastball, and the Blue Jays quietly or
Speaker 6: quieted this Dodger Stadium crowd right away. With a two
Speaker 6: nothing lead on back to back home runs to start
Speaker 6: Game five.
Speaker 2: Of the World Series. And look, there was no secret
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 6: In Game one, Blake Snell did not have good fastball command,
Speaker 6: especially up in the strike zone.
Speaker 2: So the Blue.
Speaker 6: Jays were smart. They knew that Snell was going to
Speaker 6: come out and try to establish that fastball, and they
Speaker 6: ambushed him right away. David Schneider, you wouldn't expect that
Speaker 6: to happen. Vladimir Guerrero Junior, you can believe that a
Speaker 6: little bit more. But yeah, nothing before the seats were
Speaker 6: worn in Game five of the World Series was not
Speaker 6: ideal considering all we were talking about. All the Dodgers
Speaker 6: were talking about was getting Snell some early runs because
Speaker 6: they believed he was going to be good. And look,
Speaker 6: you gotta give Snell some credit because after that he settled.
Speaker 2: Inscar Hernandez made.
Speaker 6: A horrible decision to die for a bloop down the
Speaker 6: line when he was shaded more towards the alley, and
Speaker 6: that turned into a leadoff triple for Dalton Varshow in
Speaker 6: the fourth inning and turned into a run on an
Speaker 6: Ernie Clement sacrifice fly to center field. If Tascar Hernandez
Speaker 6: plays that straight var shows at second base and that
Speaker 6: run doesn't score, So instead of two to one after
Speaker 6: the top of the fourth inning, it's three to one.
Speaker 6: And the Dodgers were playing from behind from the very beginning.
Speaker 6: Kicky Hernandez hits that solo home run, gets the crowd
Speaker 6: into the game leading off or with one out in
Speaker 6: the third inning, that's a two to one game. But
Speaker 6: then you give that run right back on a on
Speaker 6: a ridiculous attempt by ta Oscar Hernandez in right field,
Speaker 6: and then I thought on the opposite end of it,
Speaker 6: Addison Barger made the play of the game, robbing Shoheo
Speaker 6: Tani leading off the sixth inning on a sinking line
Speaker 6: drive that he had to dive head first for one
Speaker 6: hundred and seventeen miles an hour.
Speaker 2: That's how hard that ball was hit.
Speaker 6: If Barger doesn't make that catch, it's a triple for Otani,
Speaker 6: and all of a sudden, the Dodgers are in business.
Speaker 6: But the defense of the Blue Jays has been better
Speaker 6: in this series than the Dodgers, and their offense has
Speaker 6: been much better and more tenacious and on the attack
Speaker 6: and grinder like you know, their offense reminds me. Of
Speaker 6: the twenty seventeen Dodgers, that was their identity. Yeah, they
Speaker 6: had a couple of aircraft carriers and Cody Bellinger and
Speaker 6: you know Yasiel Puigue in that point in time of
Speaker 6: his career, Justin Turner. But Justin Turner and the rest
Speaker 6: of the Dodgers were grinders. They would make opposing pitchers
Speaker 6: work foul pitches off, not chase pitches outside of the
Speaker 6: strike zone. That's who these Blue Jays are and that's
Speaker 6: been the difference in the series so far. They have
Speaker 6: had the Dodgers on their heels from the first inning
Speaker 6: of Game one, and the Dodgers have been making mistakes.
Speaker 6: Their offense has been an all or nothing type of approach,
Speaker 6: and that's why they're in this predicament with their backs
Speaker 6: up against the wall, winner go home in Game six
Speaker 6: of the World Series. The Dodger offense has only scored
Speaker 6: four runs in their last twenty eight innings. They struck
Speaker 6: out twelve times against Treyya Savage tonight. They have struck
Speaker 6: out twenty two times in the last two games. As
Speaker 6: Stu Lance would say, that won't get it done. And
Speaker 6: it's just one of those weird laws again for this
Speaker 6: Dodger offense, not to mention the struggles continued for Mookie Betts,
Speaker 6: despite Dave Roberts tweaking where he hits in the order,
Speaker 6: he's hitting third. Mookie now is just three for twenty
Speaker 6: three in the World Series. And I had one of
Speaker 6: his former teammates text me about fifteen minutes ago, and
Speaker 6: you know what he texted me. He said, I just
Speaker 6: want to see Mooki go out there and compete. Just
Speaker 6: go out there. Forget about thinking about the approach, game
Speaker 6: plan swing, just go out there and compete. And maybe
Speaker 6: it's to that point right now with the Dodgers in
Speaker 6: a winner go home situation in Game six and Game seven,
Speaker 6: if they win on Friday, that Mookie Bets will just
Speaker 6: let it all go and just go out there and
Speaker 6: compete and.
Speaker 2: Play free and easy.
Speaker 6: Even his big brother from the Red Sox, Big Poppy
Speaker 6: David Ortiz said it moments after the final out tonight.
Speaker 6: Mooki's confidence is at an all time low. He's gotta
Speaker 6: find a way to believe in Mooki again. And teammates
Speaker 6: are saying, just go out there and compete. That's what
Speaker 6: they need from Mookie Betts. He was a zero for
Speaker 6: four tonight hitting third in the lineup. I love the
Speaker 6: idea Dave Roberts had by having Will Smith hit behind
Speaker 6: Showe Aotani. I would like to see Miguel Rojas now
Speaker 6: start Game six. You know, I was such a big
Speaker 6: advocate for Tommy Edmond to be starting in center field. Well,
Speaker 6: Tommy Edmund has not had a good World Series either.
Speaker 6: He's three for twenty one in the World Series. You know,
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts made a tweak tonight. Maybe it's time to
Speaker 6: make another tweak and have Miguel Rojas in there at
Speaker 6: second base. So we'll see where it goes. But certainly
Speaker 6: it can't. It's not just on one or two guys.
Speaker 6: This is a team. A team win and the team loses.
Speaker 6: And the Dodgers have not been in a win or
Speaker 6: go home situation in the postseason since Game four of
Speaker 6: last year's NLDS against the Padres.
Speaker 2: It was the Padres offense that went cold.
Speaker 6: I think they went gorliss the last thirty innings of
Speaker 6: that NLDS, and the Dodgers now have only scored four
Speaker 6: runs in their last twenty eight innings in this World Series.
Speaker 6: Here's another question for you, everybody was so certain that
Speaker 6: the life was sucked out of the Blue Jays after
Speaker 6: the Dodgers won that eighteen inning marathon in Game three.
Speaker 6: Could it be it was the Dodgers that came out
Speaker 6: flat the last two nights after playing those eighteen innings.
Speaker 6: Were they the ones that were emotionally and physically spent.
Speaker 6: It's a question that needs to be asked. But luckily
Speaker 6: there's a day off tomorrow. The Dodgers have an opportunity
Speaker 6: to regroup and just worry about the Game six. You know,
Speaker 6: I was talking to Charlie Steiner before the game, and
Speaker 6: he said, when Don Zimmer was Joe Torre's bench coach
Speaker 6: with the Yankees, the last team to repeat his champions
Speaker 6: the mantra was just win the inning in.
Speaker 2: The World Series and in the postseason, just win the
Speaker 2: next inning.
Speaker 6: Win this inning, win the next inning, when that inning,
Speaker 6: when the next one. Feels like the Dodgers are trying
Speaker 6: to win three or four innings in one, especially when
Speaker 6: they're at the plate. So Game six, win the first
Speaker 6: inning and go on from there. Eight six, six, seven,
Speaker 6: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs
Speaker 6: to the Dodger clubhouse. To hear from a very frustrated
Speaker 6: and disappointed Blake Snell.
Speaker 7: I mean they really get to me.
Speaker 8: As a first pitch of the game, ninety seven passba
Speaker 8: up and then hits at ninety eight.
Speaker 7: It goes out.
Speaker 8: Pretty unlucky, and I'm glad that's a Yeah, just a
Speaker 8: bad pitch now and then pastball. But then after that, yeah,
Speaker 8: pretty pretty smooth sailing figured out their lineup, what they
Speaker 8: like to do, and VARs it's a triple on a
Speaker 8: seventy eight exit re low.
Speaker 7: It's just sound lucky. Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm
Speaker 7: not wanting to.
Speaker 8: Make excuses or anything close to that, but they're just
Speaker 8: pretty unlucky doing so much you can do.
Speaker 7: To where you know that, So I'm lucky.
Speaker 9: And then.
Speaker 8: The seventh thing in there, Yeah, good pitch, I mean
Speaker 8: just yeah, it hits the ball and play Barjia hits
Speaker 8: the ball and play and then walk the nine hole
Speaker 8: guy that has struck out twice already.
Speaker 7: Just gotta be better there.
Speaker 10: And then yeah, when you look at just kind of
Speaker 10: how you were looking to kind of close us from
Speaker 10: out the pitch cow getting up, was there a part
Speaker 10: of you that was kind of just like how do
Speaker 10: I kind of dig deep to navigate this back end
Speaker 10: of your routing.
Speaker 8: No, I mean I still I was doing nice on anything.
Speaker 8: I felt good. I feel strong. Yeah, I mean my
Speaker 8: whole I've been training to be to be ready for
Speaker 8: this and be strong, and I felt good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I trust me. So, yeah, just just frustrating he's
Speaker 7: going away from the fastball a little back to the
Speaker 7: Vlad homer. Is that short of just reacting to what
Speaker 7: they were clearly trying to do early encounts against you.
Speaker 8: I mean, Lad's you know, he's a really good hitter,
Speaker 8: so you gotta, you know, do stuff there. But the
Speaker 8: rest of the line up, Yeah, they're like ambushing. I
Speaker 8: mean I'll probably I forget the game seven and I'll
Speaker 8: see him again, So I can't I can't say much.
Speaker 7: But no, I mean.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just I mean I said, yeah, Blad, good hitter. Schnyder,
Speaker 8: I mean, hit it one mind our harder than that,
Speaker 8: threw it good location, varsoa triple curveball capped like.
Speaker 7: Luck plays in baseball too. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So yeah, do you feel like you you went away
Speaker 6: from the fastball for twenty two pitchers after that home runder?
Speaker 1: Back?
Speaker 7: Why did you feel like you were leaving a toe
Speaker 7: a toe.
Speaker 8: Yeah, No, I don't think there's towels. I just think
Speaker 8: they're ambushing the fastball, especially after I.
Speaker 7: Go I'm gonna throw fastballs. You know, it's kind of kids. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I don't think there's towels.
Speaker 8: Are just great swings, and hey, they're ambition and as
Speaker 8: I should, as I thought they would, And yeah.
Speaker 6: Do you feel like, all right, there's Blakes now And
Speaker 6: I thought he knew what was happening there. David Schneider
Speaker 6: hit a really good pitch and I didn't know it
Speaker 6: was ninety eight miles an hour on the exit below,
Speaker 6: but it counts. It went over the wall, so I mean,
Speaker 6: that's not an excuse. Vladimir Guerrero Junior hit a bad
Speaker 6: executed pitch by Blake. SNeW he didn't want to throw
Speaker 6: Oscar Hernandez under the bus, but it was a bad
Speaker 6: play by Taoscar Hernandez, who hasn't been that great and
Speaker 6: right field this year. So that led to the third run,
Speaker 6: and I'm glad he brought up Andres Mnez. I mean,
Speaker 6: that was the at bat of the game in the
Speaker 6: seventh inning and really changed the complexion of that seventh
Speaker 6: inning and in turn changed the complexion of this game,
Speaker 6: because after the seventh inning, this wasn't a game anymore.
Speaker 6: The Dodger offense could come back and win, especially with
Speaker 6: the way they're swinging the bats these days.
Speaker 2: Inexcusable for Blake snell to.
Speaker 6: Walk Andres Semnez the nine hitter after he struck him
Speaker 6: out twice in the second and then in the fourth inning.
Speaker 6: A one out walk to Andres Semenez did snell In
Speaker 6: and the Dodgers in that seventh inning that that's got
Speaker 6: to be the at bat that should keep him awake
Speaker 6: until he's able to pitch again in game seven eight
Speaker 6: six six, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 6: Let's go out to Justin who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Justin,
Speaker 6: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9: Thank you for taking me first. I was there.
Speaker 11: I am very disgusted. This will be a little bit
Speaker 11: of a rent. I was at game one of the
Speaker 11: ullow sees last year and the Dodgers were up two
Speaker 11: to one. This year, I thought I expected this to
Speaker 11: be the clincher one to witness in person. Instead got disgusted.
Speaker 11: You know, taste in my mouth everything was off today.
Speaker 11: You're right, the energy of the Dodgers crowd sucks.
Speaker 9: Compared to the Blue Jays giving up a home run
Speaker 9: on the first.
Speaker 11: Pitch and then to the second bout, it definitely doesn't help.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it disappeared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can understand that.
Speaker 6: When back to back home runs happened to start the game,
Speaker 6: it takes the energy out of the stadium until Key
Speaker 6: k Hernandez hits that home run and then Taeoscar Hernandez
Speaker 6: boxes a ball and right field and takes the crowd
Speaker 6: out of it again. So I'm not blaming the crowd tonight.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers didn't give them much to cheer about.
Speaker 11: The offense has disappeared, and we can't get the guy
Speaker 11: before show.
Speaker 9: Hey on, we can't get the guy after show?
Speaker 7: Hey on?
Speaker 9: So I I got no solution there.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the only solution is the Dodgers can't just hang
Speaker 6: their heads. They've got to regroup, pick themselves up if
Speaker 6: they want to win this World Series. It doesn't come easy.
Speaker 6: Justin repeating is not easy, and the Dodgers certainly know
Speaker 6: that and are experiencing that. But they're not They're not
Speaker 6: going to be like, oh, we lost Game five, So
Speaker 6: I guess we better not board that plane to Toronto.
Speaker 2: Our season's over.
Speaker 6: No, those guys are gonna regroup, get that day off.
Speaker 6: Hopefully they have some baseball talk on that plane to Toronto.
Speaker 2: I mean they got that player's only plane.
Speaker 6: That's where they should be talking about the game, and
Speaker 6: you know, picking each other up and looking each other
Speaker 6: in the eye and making sure nobody is quitting on.
Speaker 2: The season, which I don't believe they will.
Speaker 6: Eight six six eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 6: phone number. Ryan, also at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Ryan,
Speaker 6: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Hey, how the gondv?
Speaker 2: Well I've been better, Ryan.
Speaker 6: I would have liked to have seen the Dodgers win
Speaker 6: one of these last two games. But uh, you know,
Speaker 6: you have to wonder whether or not those eighteen innings
Speaker 6: hurt the Dodgers more than the Blue Jays because, uh,
Speaker 6: the bullpen is super thin and the offense is struggling
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy to think if we don't get that
Speaker 3: eighteen inning game, we're looking at a sweep at home.
Speaker 12: It's like, come on, Ruth, definitely better than this, you know, like,
Speaker 12: very very disappointing.
Speaker 6: Yeah it is, but they got two more opportunities to
Speaker 6: win games, and the Dodgers have won two in a
Speaker 6: row many times, and the Blue Jays still have to
Speaker 6: beat the Dodgers four times in a best of seven series.
Speaker 6: I refuse to believe that they can do that until
Speaker 6: they prove me otherwise. Eight six six eight seven two
Speaker 6: five seventy is the phone number. Let's head back downstairs
Speaker 6: to the Dodger clubhouse to hear from Freddie Freeman on.
Speaker 13: His command from the first game. He had everything working tonight,
Speaker 13: but again, I still got to put some runs on
Speaker 13: board and do a better job, and we just haven't
Speaker 13: done that for about two a half games.
Speaker 10: You guys have been in this situation before, backs against
Speaker 10: the wall, looking to win this series. I mean, you're
Speaker 10: obviously not out of it.
Speaker 9: What is just kind of is.
Speaker 10: There a conversation as you guys traveled to Toronto to
Speaker 10: find a way to get things going.
Speaker 13: I think it's kind of bigs for itself that they
Speaker 13: just played a better game than us tonight, balls and
Speaker 13: thirds later on guys, just corre musician, they're getting them in.
Speaker 13: Just you know, they just pitched really good too, So
Speaker 13: they just outplayed US today.
Speaker 9: I'm always like the regular season when you guys are
Speaker 9: starting in, but like, what did you learn from that
Speaker 9: point in time that maybe you can apply to try
Speaker 9: to turn things around for game six and seven.
Speaker 13: We all know what we're capable of than we haven't
Speaker 13: done it for two games, So maybe they off will
Speaker 13: cool them down over there and we'll reunite.
Speaker 7: Us to carry over all eighteen.
Speaker 6: The news early is that something that where it's just
Speaker 6: they kind of just responded better the last couple of days.
Speaker 13: They just played better baseball with the last two days.
Speaker 13: I don't think anybody's thinking about a game two days ago.
Speaker 13: I mean, it's just playing simple. They just played better
Speaker 13: than the US today.
Speaker 7: There's a lot of characters in this clubhouse.
Speaker 14: What do you like about this team to lean into faces?
Speaker 13: Last year we were down to one to the Potters
Speaker 13: and when two games in a row, so we can
Speaker 13: do it again.
Speaker 7: Where do you talk a lot about the offense that
Speaker 7: you need to kind of count alive or in a
Speaker 7: pre game do you have any considering the talent of
Speaker 7: your line? If the US.
Speaker 10: This is what the.
Speaker 13: Offense is playing, when you go into this game, you
Speaker 13: would tackle lane, and our lane today was up against
Speaker 13: Savage and it was just a complete one eighty from
Speaker 13: game one. His his command was was pinpoint. Tonight we
Speaker 13: were fighting that lane and he was still getting the
Speaker 13: slider and split it down below the zone for strikes.
Speaker 13: And that was the difference from game one.
Speaker 2: He had a lot of.
Speaker 13: Non competitive missers in game one and today you didn't
Speaker 13: have that. And credit to him. That was that was
Speaker 13: a really good game pitched by him and Anthony and Jeff.
Speaker 13: And you know, baseball is a hard game, and it's
Speaker 13: been hard for us the last two days. But like
Speaker 13: we said, we've been in a situation before like we
Speaker 13: were last year, and we can do it again.
Speaker 7: You're back to there against the wall.
Speaker 9: But how good does it feel to Knowles pitching for
Speaker 9: you guys now?
Speaker 13: I mean again, Yeah, we feel really good about our
Speaker 13: starting pitching and our pitching staff. So we're gonna need
Speaker 13: jobs to do it again and hopefully as an offense,
Speaker 13: we can score some more runs for him.
Speaker 9: In addition, you Savage a splitter better this time around.
Speaker 13: Than It's all command. He just had command. He was
Speaker 13: able to throw up for strikes on oh, he wasn't
Speaker 13: able to do that in Game one, so it was
Speaker 13: all command tonight. When you get strike one and get
Speaker 13: ahead of us, it's really hard to hit.
Speaker 15: We talked about, you know, being down to one of
Speaker 15: the padres, but how much of that experience that you
Speaker 15: guys have as a team won a World Series last year,
Speaker 15: knowing the confidence going into a game six situation.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're confident.
Speaker 7: We know who we are.
Speaker 13: We know we got to play better baseball, and we'll
Speaker 13: try to do that in two days.
Speaker 2: You guys are crying to become the first repeat champions.
Speaker 13: We're just trying to play baseball game right now. If
Speaker 13: you're thinking about trying to win some that's two wins away,
Speaker 13: then you were thinking about the wrong thing. We need
Speaker 13: to worry about Friday and play a better baseball game.
Speaker 6: All right, there's Freddy Freeman. He's got the right mindset.
Speaker 6: You can't be worried about winning two games in Game six.
Speaker 6: You have to win Game six to even have an
Speaker 6: opportunity to win Game seven. And like I said before,
Speaker 6: you know, with Don Zimmer relay to Joe Tory, you've
Speaker 6: got to win the inning in front of you. And
Speaker 6: that's what the Dodgers need to have in their minds
Speaker 6: going into Game six. You can't win all nine innings
Speaker 6: in the first inning. The Dodgers need to win the
Speaker 6: first inning and that will be a huge victory for
Speaker 6: Yamamoto and the team. You heard Freddy Freeman talk about
Speaker 6: trey Ya Savage. He was completely different than what they
Speaker 6: saw in Game one.
Speaker 2: Strike one. He was in the zone with the slider.
Speaker 6: He was in the zone with his fastball, and he
Speaker 6: got the Dodgers to chase his split fingered fastball. Twelve strikeouts,
Speaker 6: no walks. That's the most strikeouts by a pitcher in
Speaker 6: a World Series game without issuing a walk. Eight six, six, seven, two,
Speaker 6: five seventy is the phone number Toronto beats the Dodgers
Speaker 6: in Game five of the World Series six to one.
Speaker 6: Let's go out to Sambino, who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight.
Speaker 6: Hi Sambino, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Hi David, thank you for the call. Lost my voice
Speaker 3: at the stadium.
Speaker 14: Uh.
Speaker 3: You called that a few problems number one. UH, And
Speaker 3: I would love your opinion on this afterwards. But Roki Sasaki,
Speaker 3: I feel like should have came in into seventh inning
Speaker 3: to put out the fire after Snell got pulled out
Speaker 3: of the game. I feel like there's nothing to save
Speaker 3: him for in this game when you're down at that point,
Speaker 3: I would have loved to see that stopgap there from Dave.
Speaker 2: I agree with you, you know, I agree with you.
Speaker 6: Sometimes the game is not one or lost in the
Speaker 6: ninth inning. It's one or lost in situations like that
Speaker 6: in the seventh And the only question I'm sure Dave
Speaker 6: had was, Okay, I go to Sasaki right there in
Speaker 6: the seventh inning. Is he going to finish the game
Speaker 6: for me? Even though we're losing at that point in time.
Speaker 6: But yeah, the game was right there in the seventh inning,
Speaker 6: and you know me personally, You've already pushed Blake SNeW
Speaker 6: to one hundred and sixteen pitches and he just struck
Speaker 6: out David Schneider. I can understand why you don't want
Speaker 6: him to face Vladimir Guerrero Junior. But how about put
Speaker 6: up four fingers, walk Arero and let SNeW face an
Speaker 6: injured Bo Bashett. He can get Bob Bashett, even though
Speaker 6: Bashett's had some success against him in the past, but
Speaker 6: he's not at one hundred percent right now, so you know,
Speaker 6: the pitch count for me once you get to one sixteen,
Speaker 6: you've already pushed him really far, so why not.
Speaker 2: Just keep going?
Speaker 3: I agree, and uh, you know, to that point, but
Speaker 3: we got to get more than one run, you know.
Speaker 3: And I think sometimes when I watched the Dodgers, especially
Speaker 3: in the postseason, I feel like we got to play
Speaker 3: a little bit more Pepper and a little less home
Speaker 3: run Derby. As far as our approach, I feel like
Speaker 3: the Jay's are putting the ball in play and they're
Speaker 3: seeing good results, and I feel like sometimes we're just
Speaker 3: trying to hit that bomb a little bit too much.
Speaker 3: But separate that, I hated Tao's play coming out of
Speaker 3: the top. You know, after we score the run and
Speaker 3: we get the momentum back, I feel like he's got
Speaker 3: to just that was a mental error, and there were
Speaker 3: many mental errors tonight. You know, not to beat up
Speaker 3: on rookie, but he bobbles the ball second. But then
Speaker 3: Will Smith four pass balls hired legs. You know. It
Speaker 3: was just one of the sloppiest Dodger performances I've seen
Speaker 3: in such a big game in a long time. It
Speaker 3: was extremely disappointing, and I do agree with you. By
Speaker 3: the way we've seen Kevin Guizman. A bunch of times,
Speaker 3: I do think we win Game six, and then it's
Speaker 3: a dogfight, and so I'm optimistic. Go Dodgers, but tough
Speaker 3: one tonight.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt, Sambino, and I am confident. I'll say
Speaker 6: this on the record. I believe the Dodgers will force
Speaker 6: a game seven. Yamamoto will deliver. I believe this Dodger
Speaker 6: offense is going to finally wake up because at some
Speaker 6: point they have to write.
Speaker 2: You just hope they don't run out of time before
Speaker 2: they do.
Speaker 6: So I'm all in for a Game seven, and at
Speaker 6: that point in time, it's a flip a coin, but
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have to find a way to score runs.
Speaker 2: I have no doubts about Yamamoto. If Blake Snell was.
Speaker 6: More efficient at times, you know, I know the line
Speaker 6: says six and two thirds innings five in runs, but
Speaker 6: I really didn't believe Snell pitched that poorly. He did
Speaker 6: get ambushed in the first inning, and that really did
Speaker 6: take a lot of life out of this stadium and
Speaker 6: put their offense in a spot considering they're struggling to
Speaker 6: score runs. But I thought he'd pitched better than what
Speaker 6: his final line said something that Jose Moto brought up,
Speaker 6: and Jose will join us in about ten minutes. The
Speaker 6: Dodger relievers, when they have come in with inherited runners,
Speaker 6: have not stranded those runners. They have scored and a
Speaker 6: Guardo and Riquez happened to allow those runs to score
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 2: Bonda did not stop the bleeding last night.
Speaker 6: And just for the record, it was four wild pitches,
Speaker 6: three of the four coming in that seven thinning. The
Speaker 6: four while pitches by the Dodgers staff tonight the most
Speaker 6: in a World Series game eight, six, six, seven, two,
Speaker 6: five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to
Speaker 6: Antonio and Santa Ana. You're on Dodger Talk with David
Speaker 6: vasse Hi.
Speaker 2: Antonio, Hello, David, Hello, Dodger fans.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Game five is in the past now, So that's it.
Speaker 16: We pack our bags, We hop on the game six day,
Speaker 16: we go forward. This team is built differently on the road.
Speaker 16: This is another team. We don't give a We just
Speaker 16: keep going. What do you think, David, are we positive
Speaker 16: or not? I'm sure we're positive.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're positive.
Speaker 6: They're not just gonna put their head and not get
Speaker 6: off the plane in Toronto when it lands, Antonio. They're
Speaker 6: gonna get off that plane in the early part of
Speaker 6: the morning tomorrow and uh, you know, regroup and figure
Speaker 6: things out, and uh, you know, the confidence comes from
Speaker 6: having a starting pitcher like Yeaho on the mount in
Speaker 6: game six.
Speaker 2: That's where the confidence begins.
Speaker 6: If it was somebody else starting game six, I can
Speaker 6: understand where the confidence would be wavering. But when you
Speaker 6: have a guy that has pitched back to back complete games,
Speaker 6: including Game two of the World Series in Toronto, where
Speaker 6: Game six is going to be played, everybody has confidence
Speaker 6: that Yamamoto is going to dominate and they just have
Speaker 6: to do their part as an offense. If they do that,
Speaker 6: they have a very good chance of forcing a Game seven.
Speaker 6: Let's go out to Luis in La. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 17: How you doing, Louis, Hi, David, I'm okay, just tired, obviously,
Speaker 17: I'm I'm I'm very disappointed in the game today. But
Speaker 17: here here's the thing for for Friday. I believe that
Speaker 17: the bats need to wake up and in order for
Speaker 17: that seed to happen in the first three innings, I
Speaker 17: want those I want one scored and then just Yamamoto
Speaker 17: cruise throughout like for eight innings, and that was.
Speaker 6: The plan tonight. Yeah, that was the plan I had
Speaker 6: for tonight. Let's see if the Dodgers can do that.
Speaker 6: Because there hasn't been a save opportunity for Roki Sasaki
Speaker 6: in this World Series. I would love to see that happen.
Speaker 6: It just the Dodgers have not put him in that position.
Speaker 6: And now two consecutive games where Roki was not needed,
Speaker 6: he should be well rested to be able to pitch
Speaker 6: multiple innings in Game six and Game seven in Toronto.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call, Luis.
Speaker 6: And speaking of Game six and seven, only three teams
Speaker 6: in the last fifty years have won Game six and
Speaker 6: seven on the road. That was the twenty nineteen Nationals
Speaker 6: who beat the Astros in Houston, the sixteen Cubs who
Speaker 6: won their first World Series in one hundred years in
Speaker 6: Cleveland over the Indians, and the nineteen seventy nine Pirates
Speaker 6: went into Baltimore to beat the Orioles in Game six
Speaker 6: and seven on the road. So the Dodgers are looking
Speaker 6: to be just the fourth team in the last fifty
Speaker 6: years to win Game six and seven on the road.
Speaker 6: Eight six, six, seven, two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 6: Chris in La. You're on Dodger Talk Live from Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 12: Hi, Chris, Hey, Dave, Hey, you know I want to say,
Speaker 12: you know, I told Fred and Rodney earlier that I
Speaker 12: was telling my daughter after watching the game those guys,
Speaker 12: I was telling them. She was asking me about baseball.
Speaker 12: I told her, Honey, you just never know what baseball
Speaker 12: and today was the perfect example. There is no way
Speaker 12: in the world you could have told anyone that Blake
Speaker 12: Snell was going to throw two home runs in three
Speaker 12: pitches and the Dodgers we were only going to have
Speaker 12: three hits going into the ninth inning. Oh and by
Speaker 12: the way, a kid from not Triple A, but Single A,
Speaker 12: who's only been with the Blue Jays about a month
Speaker 12: and a half is going to have the rookie record
Speaker 12: for strung against this incredible Dodger lineup. You couldn't have
Speaker 12: predicted that. But that's baseball. It's crazy. It's not like
Speaker 12: any other sport. And Yamamoto gives us a really good
Speaker 12: chance on Friday, but you know, baseball, there's no way
Speaker 12: we could say, yeah, we're gonna get that game because
Speaker 12: we haven't supported him with runs all year. You know,
Speaker 12: so I tell my daughter, Mike, look, enjoy the game,
Speaker 12: root for your team with all your heart, but don't
Speaker 12: let it stress you out, because at the end of
Speaker 12: the day, you just absolutely never know. Because I thought
Speaker 12: Blake's net was gonna come out and deal like you
Speaker 12: were saying. But you know who knows, you know, and
Speaker 12: the bets. You know, it's all about timely hitting and
Speaker 12: being hot at the right time. And right now, the
Speaker 12: Dodgers are not hot. So we're gonna have to hope
Speaker 12: that they just pick it up a little bit these
Speaker 12: next two games. But you know, it's it's tough, man. Baseball.
Speaker 12: Baseball is a crazy sport, Dave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is, Chris. Thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: A lot of right there, Chris, appreciate it.
Speaker 6: It's sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 6: the phone number.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers down three games to two after losing Game
Speaker 6: five to the Blue Jays six to one. And look,
Speaker 6: it does bear asking whether or not that eighteen inning
Speaker 6: game affected the Dodgers more adversely than it affected the
Speaker 6: Blue Jays. Everybody thought it was the Blue Jays that
Speaker 6: We're gonna have nothing left in the tank for game four,
Speaker 6: and they come out and get Shane Bieber to you know,
Speaker 6: stifle the Dodger offense. They played into his hands and
Speaker 6: the Dodger bullpen was thin after Dave Roberts had to
Speaker 6: use everybody in that bullpen in that eighteen inning game.
Speaker 6: He was kind of boxed in to have to use
Speaker 6: Bonda and Trining in Keith spots.
Speaker 2: Last night.
Speaker 6: Uh, the Blue Jays seemed to have a little bit
Speaker 6: more energy last night. Seemed like they had a little
Speaker 6: bit more hung an energy to win this game tonight
Speaker 6: as well, with a rookie on the mount and trey
Speaker 6: Ya Savage who you know, Blake Snell after Game one
Speaker 6: said he learned a lot and was going to make adjustments. Well,
Speaker 6: it seemed like young trey Ya Savage was the one
Speaker 6: that learned a lot and made the bigger adjustments because
Speaker 6: he was astronomically better than he was in Game one,
Speaker 6: going seven innings tonight with twelve strikeouts and no walks.
Speaker 6: And you know, the Dodgers tried to tweak the lineup.
Speaker 6: They benched Andy Paez like we were talking about last night,
Speaker 6: Alex calling the ninth spot, and also they moved Mookie
Speaker 6: Beds down to the three spot, had Will Smith move
Speaker 6: up to the two spot, and it still didn't work.
Speaker 6: And we'll see where it goes from here. But you know,
Speaker 6: sometimes you're fit to be tied when you have a
Speaker 6: picture throwing the way you Savage was thrown tonight. But
Speaker 6: the approach and the chase of the Dodgers was just
Speaker 6: ahead Scratcher tonight. But you, Savage, you have to give
Speaker 6: him a lot of credit. And the Blue Jays played
Speaker 6: better tonight. Freddie Freeman said it. The Blue Jays played
Speaker 6: better than the Dodgers tonight, and that's tough to swallow.
Speaker 6: And like I said in that seventh inning, I believe
Speaker 6: this game is still a three to one game going
Speaker 6: into the bottom of the seventh inning. If Blake Snell
Speaker 6: doesn't walk the number nine hitter undress Jimnez. He had
Speaker 6: two strikes on Jim Nz and he walks him with
Speaker 6: one out, He's able to battle and get David Schneider
Speaker 6: for the second out if he takes care of business
Speaker 6: against him Nz. Schneider is the last out of that inning,
Speaker 6: and Vladimir Guerrero Junior is left standing on deck to
Speaker 6: lead off the eighth inning, and you give the Dodgers
Speaker 6: offense a chance to come back and at least tie
Speaker 6: the score in the bottom of the seventh inning. Instead,
Speaker 6: that seventh inning completely unraveled after Blake Snell walked him
Speaker 6: in as struck out Schneider and Dave Roberts went to
Speaker 6: the bullpen after Snell through his one hundred and sixteenth
Speaker 6: pitch just completely fell apart right there, and it all
Speaker 6: started with Snell walking him Menace eight six, six, seven, two,
Speaker 6: five seventy is the phone number Dodgers fall to the
Speaker 6: Blue Jayson Game five of the World Series six to one.
Speaker 6: Let's go out to Diana and Grenada Hills. You're on
Speaker 6: Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Hi Diana, Hi David.
Speaker 18: So I have to say I really do appreciate your
Speaker 18: positivity tonight and the callers ahead of me. That's that's
Speaker 18: really great to hear. But I do have to say
Speaker 18: to you that I think I have receipts on you
Speaker 18: having receipts on me from the summer.
Speaker 6: Oh did I use one of your Oh yeah, I
Speaker 6: used one of your calls where Yes, that's right on
Speaker 6: that off day Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: I had receipts.
Speaker 18: You had receipts. But now I have the receipts on you,
Speaker 18: because I was calling about Mooky not producing any offense
Speaker 18: during the summer, and I really wanted, well, really I
Speaker 18: wanted him to move back to right field, not because
Speaker 18: he wasn't a great shortstop, because I do think he's
Speaker 18: playing really well to our stop, but because Tao is
Speaker 18: not a great right fielder. And so here we go tonight.
Speaker 18: You know exactly what I was afraid of, Hayo not
Speaker 18: doing well and right and Mookie not producing. But then again,
Speaker 18: the Dodger offense has gone to sleep for some reason
Speaker 18: or other.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say this, Diana. I mean that's been
Speaker 6: a problem all summer long. Tascar Hernandez has not been
Speaker 6: consistently good in right field, and he made a horrible decision.
Speaker 2: To dive for that ball from Dalton var Show.
Speaker 6: But I will say last year, before Mookie Bets broke
Speaker 6: his hand on a pitch that kept him out for
Speaker 6: six weeks, he was on his way to an MVP
Speaker 6: because of the offense he was producing and the shortstop
Speaker 6: he was playing, and he wasn't even playing as good
Speaker 6: as he's playing it this year.
Speaker 2: But I think we can.
Speaker 6: Both agree that, Yeah, ta Oscar Hernandez in right field
Speaker 6: hasn't looked right, no pun intended all year long, and
Speaker 6: it came back to hurt the Dodgers tonight in a
Speaker 6: key spot. So I'm we can agree on that.
Speaker 18: Well, thank you and thank you for the shout out
Speaker 18: good or bad. I really appreciate it and do all.
Speaker 6: Right, Dana, thank you for the phone call. Eight six
Speaker 6: six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. Look,
Speaker 6: the reason why I'm not Doomsday Dave tonight is because
Speaker 6: the Dodgers have a really good lineup. They have really
Speaker 6: good players, they're just not performing up to their capabilities.
Speaker 6: And maybe the reason why I'm so optimistic as well
Speaker 6: is because ya'ma Motos pitching Game six. He has been
Speaker 6: the Dodgers' best postseason starter this year. It's not Blake Snell,
Speaker 6: It's Yamamoto. Yama Moto is the one with two complete
Speaker 6: games in his last two starts. Maybe that's why I'm
Speaker 6: so confident, and I feel like that's the reason why
Speaker 6: that Dodger clubhouse is so confident that they can force
Speaker 6: a Game seven, because Yama Moto will take them to
Speaker 6: the Promised Land. All right, Before we take a time out.
Speaker 6: Let's hear from Keyky Hernandez. He's the one that drove
Speaker 6: in the only Dodger run. It was himself with a
Speaker 6: home run with one out in the third inning.
Speaker 14: We are seems like a bouts or snow pulling on
Speaker 14: us right now. We count it, we're missing them and
Speaker 14: then we're expanding the zone with two strikes. And I
Speaker 14: think the best thing that can happen for us is
Speaker 14: a day off, you know, to find get a data,
Speaker 14: regroup and you know, figure it out. But as a group,
Speaker 14: it's time for us to you know, show our character
Speaker 14: and put put a fight, put up a fight, and uh,
Speaker 14: you know, see what happens fight. I mean, I wouldn't
Speaker 14: say that it hasn't been enough of a fight. It's
Speaker 14: just last time we were a little bit flat. And
Speaker 14: then tonight, you know, three pitches into the game, we
Speaker 14: were down to nothing and you know, he was on
Speaker 14: his house, was on that thought.
Speaker 7: It was really good.
Speaker 14: And you know, hitting creates energy, and we haven't. We
Speaker 14: weren't getting hits, so we weren't really doing whatever it
Speaker 14: took to to you know, find that energy.
Speaker 7: And I mean.
Speaker 14: It's it's tough right now, but I think I think
Speaker 14: we're gonna be all.
Speaker 2: Right last year's see dug out against San Diego.
Speaker 7: Is this your team capable of the same thing. Yeah,
Speaker 7: for sure. I think we're more talented team than.
Speaker 14: We were last year, and we found a way to
Speaker 14: We found a way to do it last year, and
Speaker 14: I thought we were gonna figure a hole given the
Speaker 14: the situation where the pitching staff last year. So right,
Speaker 14: I had the right time on the mountain for us
Speaker 14: in game six and step for us for for the
Speaker 14: offense to show up.
Speaker 3: What was the savage doing to get a hut in account?
Speaker 14: As much as you guys on strikes.
Speaker 9: His slider was really good tonight. His lider.
Speaker 14: I think this slider was a difference maker. It was
Speaker 14: harder and tighter than it was in Toronto, and yeah,
Speaker 14: we weren't really able to pick it up. And then
Speaker 14: I just played us pretty good and just seemed like
Speaker 14: we were I don't know for we were just in
Speaker 14: between kinda and.
Speaker 7: Kudos to him, but we just gotta be better.
Speaker 19: It seems like you guys have been in there in between,
Speaker 19: and a couple of times from the postseas like when
Speaker 19: you get in that mode that that was an offense
Speaker 19: you guys get out.
Speaker 14: With us find out. I don't have an answer right now,
Speaker 14: but we'll find out.
Speaker 6: All right, there's uh the leader, one of the leaders
Speaker 6: in that clubhouse that has a huge voice and confidence,
Speaker 6: and uh, that's Key A Hernandez. I would say, Key K,
Speaker 6: Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas are the three loudest voices
Speaker 6: in that clubhouse. And when they say something, when they
Speaker 6: diagnose something, uh, that's really you're getting a peek inside
Speaker 6: of what they're thinking in there. And obviously Key Y
Speaker 6: Hernandez believes the Dodgers can force a Game seven A
Speaker 6: because they did it last year against the Padres b
Speaker 6: Yamamotos on the mount and I think that's what gives
Speaker 6: those players the confidence to believe that if they get
Speaker 6: some runs for Yamamoto, they can force a game seven
Speaker 6: eight sixty six seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 6: We have a full boarder calls. We'll try to get
Speaker 6: to more of you, but next Jose Moto will check
Speaker 6: in after the Dodgers lose Game five of the World

Speaker 4: Keith k Hernandez crushes one forget about it, and the
Speaker 4: Dodgers are with hit or on. That's a quarter of
Speaker 4: the way up the pavilion for Keith k Hernandez, who
Speaker 4: has launched his first home run of the postseason to
Speaker 4: give Dodgers Stadium some much needed wife.
Speaker 6: That was the only run the Dodgers scored tonight as
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays shut them down. Trey Is Savage shuts
Speaker 6: down the Dodger offense.
Speaker 2: That's the only run he gave up.
Speaker 6: Twelve strikeouts, no walks, and seven innings as to Toronto,
Speaker 6: takes a three games to two lead in the World
Speaker 6: Series with a six.
Speaker 2: To one win in Game five. And just think about this.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers get a split in Toronto the way they wanted,
Speaker 6: with three at home, and Toronto, after losing that eighteen
Speaker 6: inning marathon, beats the Dodgers two out of three here
Speaker 6: at Dodgers Stadium. That's that's hard to digest, that's hard
Speaker 6: to stomach. After the Dodgers won that first home game
Speaker 6: of the World Series with Freddie Freeman's walk off home run,
Speaker 6: will climb the unsung hero, the unexpected hero, and then
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays are the ones that come back after
Speaker 6: that eighteen inning loss to beat the Dodgers twice and
Speaker 6: take a three games to two lead. Eight sixty six

Speaker 5: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 2: All right, Hoose.
Speaker 6: I have sent a few texts to a few current
Speaker 6: players former players that I trust, asking them this question,
Speaker 6: was it the Dodger offense or was trey Ya Savage
Speaker 6: that good Dodger offense?
Speaker 9: When you hear it's Freddy Freeman and kikiS said he
Speaker 9: threw a lot of strikes. What does that tell you
Speaker 9: you're just not putting the right swings or proper swings
Speaker 9: on the strikes. I mean, he wasn't running away from
Speaker 9: his own He did not walk anybody. So in that case,
Speaker 9: you got to go out there and look at the
Speaker 9: books and go, Wow, this guy's feeling the zone. What
Speaker 9: are we doing? And that's pretty much the answer right there.
Speaker 7: Dave.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounded like that's what Dave Roberts was seeing
Speaker 6: in the middle of the game when Tom Verducci was
Speaker 6: doing that in game interview, he was saying around the
Speaker 6: third or fourth inning that you know, the Dodgers were
Speaker 6: missing pitches and the strike zone, and that's something that
Speaker 6: he said last night against Shane Bieber. What do you
Speaker 6: attribute that to? Is it as simple as saying that's
Speaker 6: just baseball? Is it approach? Is it trying to be
Speaker 6: the guy that hits a home run? What do you
Speaker 6: believe that is the symptom.
Speaker 9: Of it's once three and four. Number one is that
Speaker 9: Kika runs into a fastball. But the rest of the bats,
Speaker 9: I mean, pretty much about the series, we haven't seen
Speaker 9: the run of personal Kika that we saw against the Redge,
Speaker 9: I mean truly and speaking honestly.
Speaker 2: And David, you.
Speaker 9: Under staying something. You know, the batter's box is big
Speaker 9: enough for you to move into. Adjust home plate does
Speaker 9: not stay there for you to have to respect like
Speaker 9: certain distance from it. You are free to move on
Speaker 9: the batter's box. You're free to get closer to home plate.
Speaker 9: And Alan ra Kirk, let me tell you this kid
Speaker 9: knows understands and he's always looking at hitter speak. What
Speaker 9: does it kill you? Are they jesting or not? If
Speaker 9: they're not adjusting, that's keep doing the same thing they
Speaker 9: think they're gonna get to you.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 9: And one thing too with his split finger and his
Speaker 9: slider is and I was feeling to lose this in
Speaker 9: the broadcast. The way that he throws at sixty or angle.
Speaker 9: You have to think it's almost like on the swing
Speaker 9: to hit a curb loll And Justin Turner told me
Speaker 9: his years ago like long changle is not what you're saying.
Speaker 9: Long changle is you find them the right path of
Speaker 9: your back to the baseball on a particular pinch to
Speaker 9: launch the right way. So if you're going to be
Speaker 9: taking the same swings with the guys throwing that high
Speaker 9: versus a guy that throws three quarters, you're not going
Speaker 9: to get it. But you've got to be able to
Speaker 9: move around and see how come you're not reaching those
Speaker 9: pitches if you're throwing strikes and also you're creating a
Speaker 9: lot of strikes because you're on the zone. Well, perhaps
Speaker 9: it's all on you and it's not on him. Take,
Speaker 9: for example, Dave real quick here, Tommy Edmund decides to
Speaker 9: hit from right side. Yeah, reason reason, I want to
Speaker 9: take away the splitter, and Saber says with that singing,
Speaker 9: you're taking I'm from the splitter because you just swinging
Speaker 9: the run over the baseball and around the baseball. So
Speaker 9: that just tells you that to me, for a guy
Speaker 9: like Tommy Edmond, not just putting blame on him, but
Speaker 9: if you're going to do that, you got to be
Speaker 9: disciplined enough to tell yourself a red handed slider's gonna
Speaker 9: run away from me. I don't see that in the
Speaker 9: most season, because I'm betting from the left side. In
Speaker 9: other words, it's okay if i'm waits, it's okay. If
Speaker 9: it's okay if I get be with the basketball bat.
Speaker 9: Tobby was like swingings, especially in the left seat and
Speaker 9: he just doesn't play out. I would have just abandoned
Speaker 9: that plan after one, not bout to say, you know
Speaker 9: what he's thrown up to me right or lefty. Let
Speaker 9: me stay with the side that I know better and
Speaker 9: make the right adjustments. And it was made.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Dodgers obviously have not made many adjustments during
Speaker 6: this World Series. They've only scored four runs in the
Speaker 6: last twenty eight innings. Mookie Betts, the Dodgers need him
Speaker 6: to be more than just a guy. Mookie said after
Speaker 6: the game that he's just been horrible. It's not because
Speaker 6: of a lack of effort. We understand that. But does
Speaker 6: Mookie Betts need to just go out there and compete
Speaker 6: Eve and not worry about the mechanics of the swing
Speaker 6: or whatever analytics data he has. At some point, don't
Speaker 6: you just have to go in there and compete and
Speaker 6: be successful at that point in.
Speaker 9: Time and enjoy the game. We lot there have fun too.
Speaker 9: I mean, don't make it so hard on yourself where
Speaker 9: you're not enjoying the game and grinding through a bass
Speaker 9: and you know, keep that smile and that grin and say,
Speaker 9: hey man, you beat me one time, but I'm gonna
Speaker 9: get you again. You got to keep that environment in
Speaker 9: your head and that looseness in your head too. Last
Speaker 9: night you asked me about this too, and I said,
Speaker 9: MOOKI doesn't need to be taking extra swings during the game.
Speaker 9: It's a great TV graphic, great scene or segue, but
Speaker 9: you know what, he doesn't need to be doing that.
Speaker 9: It's late October. You should know exactly what you need
Speaker 9: to do it. In other words, I would even say,
Speaker 9: say those good swings for the game, nothing else. I
Speaker 9: don't care what TV says, whether it's showing or not.
Speaker 9: I knows looks pretty in everything. But no, he doesn't
Speaker 9: need to be anything else. And if anything, cut it
Speaker 9: down and take less swings to make sure you say
Speaker 9: were best swing for one is better now. Now, this
Speaker 9: is a general point that you know Kika made, and
Speaker 9: it's true. Perhaps an off day a reset and you
Speaker 9: know what, Dave, sometimes you just got to look across
Speaker 9: the other dugout the opposing team to learn what you're
Speaker 9: not doing. So the blue collar blue Jays right now
Speaker 9: are teaching a lesson on how how to play fundamental baseball,
Speaker 9: the sack flies, running the bases, hitting balls on the
Speaker 9: ground because the Dodgers had come into this game today
Speaker 9: having hit listen to this over twenty more fly ball
Speaker 9: outs than the Blue Jays in this series. That says
Speaker 9: something about the swings.
Speaker 6: Makes sense, and twenty two strikeouts in the last two
Speaker 6: games is not going to generate the offense.
Speaker 2: That you want.
Speaker 6: Jose Mota is joining us after the Dodgers fall to
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays in Game five of the World Series
Speaker 6: six to one. Here's a question for you, Jose, that
Speaker 6: I've been asking. Everybody thought the Dodgers would be the
Speaker 6: one to benefit after playing eighteen innings, but the Blue
Speaker 6: Jays are the team that see seems to have a
Speaker 6: little bit more life, their pitching seems to be better
Speaker 6: in the last two games and then winning the last
Speaker 6: two games of the World Series. Do you feel like
Speaker 6: the Dodgers were the ones that were emotionally and physically
Speaker 6: and bullpen depleted after that eighteen inning game.
Speaker 9: I mean, the results are there, the type of vests
Speaker 9: they take, the execution from their bullpen, the inherited runners
Speaker 9: from their bullpen, and how they have stopped the bleeding. Unfortunately,
Speaker 9: again for Blake Snell, even though he has nothing to
Speaker 9: do with the extraining game has been disappointed because he
Speaker 9: has given up ten runs now in the World Series,
Speaker 9: not all his faults, but he's got to execute better.
Speaker 9: That puts you in a hall right of way. And
Speaker 9: then on top of that, you go to the exter
Speaker 9: rainning game. The bets that the Dodgers had extra that
Speaker 9: game should have been over and perhaps non or tenantings,
Speaker 9: that's no doubt. But luckily the Blue Jays would not
Speaker 9: execute it either. But if you took their approach and
Speaker 9: how they face pitchers, how they adjusted, just making sure
Speaker 9: you guys move over, get a runner over and play
Speaker 9: the game has been much different. I mean today, I
Speaker 9: mean Barjo has a ground ball to the right side
Speaker 9: in the eighth inning and the first guy out of
Speaker 9: that dugout is the highest paid player in the highest
Speaker 9: played athlete in Canada's history, Rod Guerrero. It tells you
Speaker 9: a whole lot about when things are going right, what happens. Now,
Speaker 9: here's the optimistic thing Dodgers want to bind last year
Speaker 9: against the Pods. Now you've got to feel better about
Speaker 9: the aft coming, the reset and the starting pitcher that
Speaker 9: is not in flux. You have guys that can depend
Speaker 9: on It didn't happen today. But you have Yama Malta
Speaker 9: on the mount. Make sure you take the crowd out
Speaker 9: in Canada because the talent is there. They've man adjustments
Speaker 9: before and certainty it could be one inning that just
Speaker 9: gets them going on again. You win the ending, as
Speaker 9: Charlie said, and as many times if Don Zimmer told
Speaker 9: that to me personally, and then things change. But you
Speaker 9: got to be able to play a cleaner game overall.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we shared that story about what he used to
Speaker 6: tell Joe Torre and it makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers need to win the first inning of Game six. Jose,
Speaker 6: We'll see you in Ronto tomorrow. Okay, there he goes
Speaker 6: Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast. Eight
Speaker 6: six six nine to eighty seven. Two five seventy is
Speaker 6: the phone number. Dodgers lose Game five of the World
Speaker 6: Series by a final score of six to one. And
Speaker 6: like we mentioned earlier, this is the last home game
Speaker 6: for the Dodgers in twenty twenty five, and it is
Speaker 6: the last home game in the career of Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 6: And Kershaw, as you know, part of the Dodger bullpen.
Speaker 6: In this postseason h Usually relievers go through the back
Speaker 6: tunnel out of the bullpen to the clubhouse, but Kershaw
Speaker 6: instead came through the bullpen gates one final time at
Speaker 6: Dodger Stadium to take in the walk from the bullpen
Speaker 6: to the dugout to the clubhouse. And as he got
Speaker 6: closer to the near side of the Dodger dugout, he
Speaker 6: looked up and blue kisses to his wife Ellen and
Speaker 6: his kids. And after the game was over, the kids
Speaker 6: and the family came down to the field. They spent
Speaker 6: one last night here at Dodger Stadium with their dad
Speaker 6: as a member of the LA Dodgers, as an active
Speaker 6: pitcher for the LA Dodgers at Dodger Stadium, because Kershaw
Speaker 6: will forever be a Dodger and there'll be a lot
Speaker 6: more moments for them to come to the field and
Speaker 6: be around Dodger Stadium. But this was the last home
Speaker 6: game for Clayton Kershaw in his Hall of Fame career.
Speaker 6: Eight six, six nine, eight seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 6: the phone number. Let's go out to Rich in LA.
Speaker 6: You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi Rich.
Speaker 20: Yeah, hi U talking about his last active You know,
Speaker 20: career game, that's what you know. I know you like
Speaker 20: Dave Roberts and all, but I'm pretty disgusted with him
Speaker 20: right now. I mean, I think Clayton deserves a lot
Speaker 20: better than what he's gotten this this postseason.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, I've been to all.
Speaker 20: I went to all four games at I call it
Speaker 20: four because Monday was an eighteen inning game, which was
Speaker 20: like two and you know, he put him in there
Speaker 20: for one batter, for one single batter, and you know
Speaker 20: that's because he used every single pitcher that game. There
Speaker 20: was an eighteen inning game and then but then today,
Speaker 20: I mean the game was over. You know, people were
Speaker 20: leaving at the eighth inning and all it was six
Speaker 20: to one, and why he couldn't put Clayton Kershaw in
Speaker 20: for you know, his last and final appearance at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 20: I thought that was pretty pretty low.
Speaker 6: You know, well, I could understand you want to take
Speaker 6: the glasses half empty route Rich, but some people would
Speaker 6: be upset that he brought in Kershaw in a mop
Speaker 6: up roll in a six to one game.
Speaker 2: So you're in a you can't make everybody happy.
Speaker 6: He brought Clayton Kershaw in in a crucial situation in
Speaker 6: extra innings in the twelfth inning, and you know it's
Speaker 6: not that he's shining away from him, but he needs
Speaker 6: Kershaw to be able to be ready to go in
Speaker 6: six or seven if they need him. So, you know,
Speaker 6: I disagree with you. I'm that rich. But I know
Speaker 6: a lot of people wanted to see him tonight, but
Speaker 6: they got to see him in the twelfth inning in
Speaker 6: a huge spot at Dodger Stadium two nights ago. So
Speaker 6: sometimes the game doesn't dictate what everybody wants. In a
Speaker 6: ceremonial fashion, thank you for the phone call. Let's go
Speaker 6: out to Kevin in Culver City.
Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: Hi, Kevin, David my Man, Hey, keep your head up.
Speaker 1: You've been doing a phenomenal job. I loved hearing Freddy
Speaker 1: Freeman sound like that. I've never heard Freddy Freeman that
Speaker 1: angry as a member of the Dodgers. He sounded pissed,
Speaker 1: and he sounded like, let's get down to business and
Speaker 1: let's get after it. I want to give you some
Speaker 1: things to hold your head up up. The Seela Mariners
Speaker 1: won two games in Toronto. Remember that they were one
Speaker 1: pitch away from winning Game seven.
Speaker 9: In Toronto. It can be done.
Speaker 1: And we got mister there is losing his ninth option,
Speaker 1: Yamamoto on the mayor for game six, and you know,
Speaker 1: good and well, if we get to game seven, it's Otani,
Speaker 1: it's glass now, it's now, it's all hands on deck,
Speaker 1: and we've done this before. And there's no other team
Speaker 1: I'd rather be in this situation with than those guys
Speaker 1: that you saw on that field tonight. Freddie is a professional,
Speaker 1: Mookie's a professional, and Otani is a superstar. And you
Speaker 1: know better than anybody in this town with RP, Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neil, superstars like Magic Johnson's step up in big games.
Speaker 1: And let's see what showtime Otani is all about. For
Speaker 1: two games in Toronto. All the presses on the Blue
Speaker 1: Jays because if they lose, don't lose game six, because
Speaker 1: if we get to game seven, anything can happen. And
Speaker 1: we've done it before. Let's go two games to win
Speaker 1: the World Series, David, keep these Dodgers heads up and
Speaker 1: keep these fans stairs up. Let's get into that Toronto
Speaker 1: and make history.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, all right, Thanks for the phone call, Kevin.
Speaker 2: I agree with you.
Speaker 6: If the Dodgers force a Game seven, they are in
Speaker 6: a very good spot with their pitching. With all hands
Speaker 6: on deck in a game seven, I would imagine, since
Speaker 6: Dave Roberts said before today's game that all hands would
Speaker 6: be on deck for a game seven, that if you're
Speaker 6: going to use Otani as a pitcher in game seven,
Speaker 6: you would have to use them as an opener or
Speaker 6: be the guy that gets the last three outs. But
Speaker 6: if you're planning on using Otani and we all know
Speaker 6: when Otani pitches, there has to be a mapped out
Speaker 6: plan with not just Dave Roberts and Mark Pryor and
Speaker 6: Andrew Freeman involved. You gotta get Otani's team and doctor
Speaker 6: Neil Elatrosh on board as well. So I would imagine
Speaker 6: the thing that makes the most sense if there is
Speaker 6: a game seven, instead of having Tyler Glass now start
Speaker 6: Game seven on the road, you would go with Otani
Speaker 6: to open up that game and see where it takes
Speaker 6: you and how far it takes you, and then you
Speaker 6: bring in Glass now and go match up to match
Speaker 6: up at that point in time, eight six, six, seven,
Speaker 6: two five seventy is the phone number before we say
Speaker 6: good night. I want to share Will Smith with you,
Speaker 6: because it looked like his legs were starting to get
Speaker 6: a little tired there after catching all eighteen innings a
Speaker 6: couple of nights ago and being counted on to be
Speaker 6: a main force in this offense. Let's head downstairs to
Speaker 6: the Dodger clubhouse to hear from the Dodger catcher.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, it's going a lot of flight tonight, geting,
Speaker 19: get some rest, uh, you know where you re recovered tomorrow,
Speaker 19: be ready to go.
Speaker 8: This team obviously battled back last year against the Padres.
Speaker 7: You've been in this position before.
Speaker 8: What can you learn from that experience with your backs
Speaker 8: up against the wall.
Speaker 19: Yeah, just keep fighting, you know, keep keep hitting back.
Speaker 19: You know, just go one pitch at a time, offensively,
Speaker 19: one pitch of time. Defensively, pitch one, you know, one
Speaker 19: pitch at a time. Just keep fighting, Savage, just going today.
Speaker 19: It was just totally different than Game one. Yeah, he
Speaker 19: was throwing strikes. You know, he was landing a splitter,
Speaker 19: he's landing a slider. You know, it's throwing the heaters
Speaker 19: in the zone. Just execute pitches. You know, you pitch
Speaker 19: really well.
Speaker 7: I thought he pitched really well.
Speaker 19: Honestly, you know, the first, you know, two homers lead
Speaker 19: off the game. Then he kind of settled in. He
Speaker 19: up in one round a little later. But I thought
Speaker 19: he pitched.
Speaker 7: Well, really pressing fastball for sure early well going into
Speaker 7: a close out game for them.
Speaker 15: You know you guys, like you mentioned, it's been in
Speaker 15: that spot before, being down to one.
Speaker 7: How confident are you, guys?
Speaker 15: I mean, obviously the bats are they're they're you're slumping
Speaker 15: a little bit. Obviously good pitching, but confident going in
Speaker 15: there and being able to.
Speaker 7: Get this thing to seven?
Speaker 19: Yeah, no, we we we trust each other, you know,
Speaker 19: we we believe we're the best n in baseball. You know,
Speaker 19: we've had our backs against the wall a lot this year,
Speaker 19: fighting their injuries, fighting through you know, expectations and all that.
Speaker 19: Just a tough group and uh, you know I got
Speaker 19: I got no no problem going in high two games,
Speaker 19: going in there and winning two games, and uh you
Speaker 19: know we'll be ready for that.
Speaker 7: How that good does this field to know? Your next
Speaker 7: picture is Jammoto dot.
Speaker 19: He pitched great lucks time on. You know we're gonna
Speaker 19: we're gonna need to get start out of him. I'll
Speaker 19: let the offense get ahead and force game seven.
Speaker 7: After that.
Speaker 6: All right, there's Will Smith, who was hitting second tonight
Speaker 6: as Dave Roberts made a small tweak to see whether
Speaker 6: or not Smith could be the guy that comes up
Speaker 6: with some runners in scoring position and takes some pressure
Speaker 6: off Mookie Betts. It just didn't work tonight, as the
Speaker 6: Dodgers go down quietly against trey Ya Savage and the
Speaker 6: Blue Jays six to one in Game five of the
Speaker 6: World Series. Now, Game six is on Friday at Rogers Center.
Speaker 6: Our coverage begins at four o'clock with Dodgers on deck,
