After the Blue Jays shockingly 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.080 beat the Dodgers in Game four and now Game five 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.840 to take a three games to two lead in the 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:05.800 World Series. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.680 Tonight, the final score six to one. 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.120 David vass with you until ten o'clock tonight here on 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.320 AM five to seventy LA Sports.

I'm here to answer all of your questions. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.319 You want to bring the heat. Disappointing night from my guy, 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.880 Blake Snell, your guy, Blake Snell. Two losses in the 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:46.000 World Series, after being the best pitcher in the postseason 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.840 for the Dodgers up until this point, allowing just two 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.800 earned runs in his previous starts before the World Series, 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.240 and now again giving up five earned runs and six 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.400 and two thirds innings. The most disappointing and support rising 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.360 part of this is that he gave up back to 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.600 back home runs to start the game. That's right, David 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:10.440 Schneider ambushed a first pitch fastball ninety seven at the 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.960 top of the strike zone for a home run, and 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.600 then Vladimir Guerrero Junior did the same thing, not on 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.000 the first pitch and not in that same area, but 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.440 it was a fastball, and the Blue Jays quietly or 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.240 quieted this Dodger Stadium crowd right away. With a two 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.359 nothing lead on back to back home runs to start 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.000 Game five. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.079 Of the World Series. And look, there was no secret 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.639 about it. 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.560 In Game one, Blake Snell did not have good fastball command, 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.480 especially up in the strike zone. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:41.480 So the Blue. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.240 Jays were smart. They knew that Snell was going to 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.880 come out and try to establish that fastball, and they 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.520 ambushed him right away. David Schneider, you wouldn't expect that 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.760 to happen. Vladimir Guerrero Junior, you can believe that a 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.600 little bit more. But yeah, nothing before the seats were 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.400 worn in Game five of the World Series was not 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.480 ideal considering all we were talking about. All the Dodgers 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.639 were talking about was getting Snell some early runs because 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.480 they believed he was going to be good. And look, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.320 you gotta give Snell some credit because after that he settled. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.000 Inscar Hernandez made. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.520 A horrible decision to die for a bloop down the 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.960 line when he was shaded more towards the alley, and 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:33.080 that turned into a leadoff triple for Dalton Varshow in 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.480 the fourth inning and turned into a run on an 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:42.360 Ernie Clement sacrifice fly to center field. If Tascar Hernandez 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.840 plays that straight var shows at second base and that 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.920 run doesn't score, So instead of two to one after 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.200 the top of the fourth inning, it's three to one. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.680 And the Dodgers were playing from behind from the very beginning. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.400 Kicky Hernandez hits that solo home run, gets the crowd 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.480 into the game leading off or with one out in 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.000 the third inning, that's a two to one game. But 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.160 then you give that run right back on a on 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.360 a ridiculous attempt by ta Oscar Hernandez in right field, 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.080 and then I thought on the opposite end of it, 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.520 Addison Barger made the play of the game, robbing Shoheo 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.360 Tani leading off the sixth inning on a sinking line 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.760 drive that he had to dive head first for one 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.719 hundred and seventeen miles an hour. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.440 That's how hard that ball was hit. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.799 If Barger doesn't make that catch, it's a triple for Otani, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.520 and all of a sudden, the Dodgers are in business. 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.800 But the defense of the Blue Jays has been better 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.720 in this series than the Dodgers, and their offense has 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.320 been much better and more tenacious and on the attack 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.560 and grinder like you know, their offense reminds me. Of 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.680 the twenty seventeen Dodgers, that was their identity. Yeah, they 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.320 had a couple of aircraft carriers and Cody Bellinger and 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.560 you know Yasiel Puigue in that point in time of 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.839 his career, Justin Turner. But Justin Turner and the rest 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:11.120 of the Dodgers were grinders. They would make opposing pitchers 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:15.039 work foul pitches off, not chase pitches outside of the 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.000 strike zone. That's who these Blue Jays are and that's 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.320 been the difference in the series so far. They have 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.640 had the Dodgers on their heels from the first inning 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.560 of Game one, and the Dodgers have been making mistakes. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.359 Their offense has been an all or nothing type of approach, 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.159 and that's why they're in this predicament with their backs 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.839 up against the wall, winner go home in Game six 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.239 of the World Series. The Dodger offense has only scored 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.320 four runs in their last twenty eight innings. They struck 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.599 out twelve times against Treyya Savage tonight. They have struck 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.680 out twenty two times in the last two games. As 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.480 Stu Lance would say, that won't get it done. And 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.159 it's just one of those weird laws again for this 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:05.400 Dodger offense, not to mention the struggles continued for Mookie Betts, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.800 despite Dave Roberts tweaking where he hits in the order, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.320 he's hitting third. Mookie now is just three for twenty 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.200 three in the World Series. And I had one of 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.280 his former teammates text me about fifteen minutes ago, and 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.440 you know what he texted me. He said, I just 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.200 want to see Mooki go out there and compete. Just 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.800 go out there. Forget about thinking about the approach, game 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:31.440 plan swing, just go out there and compete. And maybe 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.359 it's to that point right now with the Dodgers in 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.960 a winner go home situation in Game six and Game seven, 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.960 if they win on Friday, that Mookie Bets will just 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.800 let it all go and just go out there and 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.000 compete and. 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.200 Play free and easy. 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.799 Even his big brother from the Red Sox, Big Poppy 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.560 David Ortiz said it moments after the final out tonight. 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.479 Mooki's confidence is at an all time low. He's gotta 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.760 find a way to believe in Mooki again. And teammates 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.200 are saying, just go out there and compete. That's what 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.880 they need from Mookie Betts. He was a zero for 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.599 four tonight hitting third in the lineup. I love the 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.120 idea Dave Roberts had by having Will Smith hit behind 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:16.000 Showe Aotani. I would like to see Miguel Rojas now 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.640 start Game six. You know, I was such a big 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.360 advocate for Tommy Edmond to be starting in center field. Well, 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.480 Tommy Edmund has not had a good World Series either. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.360 He's three for twenty one in the World Series. You know, 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.640 Dave Roberts made a tweak tonight. Maybe it's time to 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.360 make another tweak and have Miguel Rojas in there at 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.840 second base. So we'll see where it goes. But certainly 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.280 it can't. It's not just on one or two guys. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:46.160 This is a team. A team win and the team loses. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.040 And the Dodgers have not been in a win or 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:53.160 go home situation in the postseason since Game four of 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.960 last year's NLDS against the Padres. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.520 It was the Padres offense that went cold. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.160 I think they went gorliss the last thirty innings of 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.119 that NLDS, and the Dodgers now have only scored four 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.000 runs in their last twenty eight innings in this World Series. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.760 Here's another question for you, everybody was so certain that 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.760 the life was sucked out of the Blue Jays after 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:22.119 the Dodgers won that eighteen inning marathon in Game three. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.880 Could it be it was the Dodgers that came out 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:31.080 flat the last two nights after playing those eighteen innings. 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.199 Were they the ones that were emotionally and physically spent. 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.920 It's a question that needs to be asked. But luckily 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.160 there's a day off tomorrow. The Dodgers have an opportunity 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:48.840 to regroup and just worry about the Game six. You know, 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.320 I was talking to Charlie Steiner before the game, and 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.199 he said, when Don Zimmer was Joe Torre's bench coach 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.440 with the Yankees, the last team to repeat his champions 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.360 the mantra was just win the inning in. 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.959 The World Series and in the postseason, just win the 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:07.760 next inning. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:11.280 Win this inning, win the next inning, when that inning, 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.280 when the next one. Feels like the Dodgers are trying 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.160 to win three or four innings in one, especially when 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.320 they're at the plate. So Game six, win the first 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.079 inning and go on from there. Eight six, six, seven, 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.360 two five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.920 to the Dodger clubhouse. To hear from a very frustrated 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:34.559 and disappointed Blake Snell. 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:37.280 I mean they really get to me. 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.920 As a first pitch of the game, ninety seven passba 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.720 up and then hits at ninety eight. 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:44.480 It goes out. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:49.080 Pretty unlucky, and I'm glad that's a Yeah, just a 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.320 bad pitch now and then pastball. But then after that, yeah, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:57.920 pretty pretty smooth sailing figured out their lineup, what they 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.200 like to do, and VARs it's a triple on a 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:02.680 seventy eight exit re low. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.560 It's just sound lucky. Yeah, I mean I'm not I'm 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:08.000 not wanting to. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:11.360 Make excuses or anything close to that, but they're just 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.600 pretty unlucky doing so much you can do. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:17.960 To where you know that, So I'm lucky. 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:18.679 And then. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.559 The seventh thing in there, Yeah, good pitch, I mean 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.440 just yeah, it hits the ball and play Barjia hits 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.000 the ball and play and then walk the nine hole 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.560 guy that has struck out twice already. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.000 Just gotta be better there. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.240 And then yeah, when you look at just kind of 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.280 how you were looking to kind of close us from 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.079 out the pitch cow getting up, was there a part 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.680 of you that was kind of just like how do 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.080 I kind of dig deep to navigate this back end 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:47.600 of your routing. 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.480 No, I mean I still I was doing nice on anything. 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:55.480 I felt good. I feel strong. Yeah, I mean my 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.840 whole I've been training to be to be ready for 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.400 this and be strong, and I felt good. 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:07.440 Yeah, I trust me. So, yeah, just just frustrating he's 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.120 going away from the fastball a little back to the 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.240 Vlad homer. Is that short of just reacting to what 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.320 they were clearly trying to do early encounts against you. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.280 I mean, Lad's you know, he's a really good hitter, 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.480 so you gotta, you know, do stuff there. But the 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.000 rest of the line up, Yeah, they're like ambushing. I 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.400 mean I'll probably I forget the game seven and I'll 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.240 see him again, So I can't I can't say much. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.680 But no, I mean. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:41.480 Yeah, just I mean I said, yeah, Blad, good hitter. Schnyder, 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.559 I mean, hit it one mind our harder than that, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.920 threw it good location, varsoa triple curveball capped like. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.800 Luck plays in baseball too. Yeah. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.240 So yeah, do you feel like you you went away 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.800 from the fastball for twenty two pitchers after that home runder? 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:00.000 Back? 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.760 Why did you feel like you were leaving a toe 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:03.280 a toe. 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:09.920 Yeah, No, I don't think there's towels. I just think 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.920 they're ambushing the fastball, especially after I. 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:21.160 Go I'm gonna throw fastballs. You know, it's kind of kids. Yeah, 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.600 I don't think there's towels. 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:27.640 Are just great swings, and hey, they're ambition and as 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.320 I should, as I thought they would, And yeah. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.040 Do you feel like, all right, there's Blakes now And 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.640 I thought he knew what was happening there. David Schneider 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.720 hit a really good pitch and I didn't know it 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.120 was ninety eight miles an hour on the exit below, 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:44.520 but it counts. It went over the wall, so I mean, 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:49.360 that's not an excuse. Vladimir Guerrero Junior hit a bad 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.120 executed pitch by Blake. SNeW he didn't want to throw 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.760 Oscar Hernandez under the bus, but it was a bad 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.520 play by Taoscar Hernandez, who hasn't been that great and 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:02.080 right field this year. So that led to the third run, 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.360 and I'm glad he brought up Andres Mnez. I mean, 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.640 that was the at bat of the game in the 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.840 seventh inning and really changed the complexion of that seventh 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.880 inning and in turn changed the complexion of this game, 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.440 because after the seventh inning, this wasn't a game anymore. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.440 The Dodger offense could come back and win, especially with 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.840 the way they're swinging the bats these days. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.920 Inexcusable for Blake snell to. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.720 Walk Andres Semnez the nine hitter after he struck him 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.800 out twice in the second and then in the fourth inning. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.880 A one out walk to Andres Semenez did snell In 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.080 and the Dodgers in that seventh inning that that's got 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.640 to be the at bat that should keep him awake 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.160 until he's able to pitch again in game seven eight 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.520 six six, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.280 Let's go out to Justin who is at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Justin, 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:56.320 you're on Dodger Talk. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.880 Thank you for taking me first. I was there. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.200 I am very disgusted. This will be a little bit 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.959 of a rent. I was at game one of the 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.800 ullow sees last year and the Dodgers were up two 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:13.440 to one. This year, I thought I expected this to 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:18.160 be the clincher one to witness in person. Instead got disgusted. 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.360 You know, taste in my mouth everything was off today. 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.960 You're right, the energy of the Dodgers crowd sucks. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.320 Compared to the Blue Jays giving up a home run 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:27.960 on the first. 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.520 Pitch and then to the second bout, it definitely doesn't help. 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:32.320 Yeah, I think it disappeared. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:33.960 Yeah, I can understand that. 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.400 When back to back home runs happened to start the game, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.080 it takes the energy out of the stadium until Key 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.600 k Hernandez hits that home run and then Taeoscar Hernandez 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.840 boxes a ball and right field and takes the crowd 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.880 out of it again. So I'm not blaming the crowd tonight. 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.200 The Dodgers didn't give them much to cheer about. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.720 The offense has disappeared, and we can't get the guy 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:56.520 before show. 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.320 Hey on, we can't get the guy after show? 0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:58.720 Hey on? 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.280 So I I got no solution there. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.800 Yeah, the only solution is the Dodgers can't just hang 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.440 their heads. They've got to regroup, pick themselves up if 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.440 they want to win this World Series. It doesn't come easy. 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:16.360 Justin repeating is not easy, and the Dodgers certainly know 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.360 that and are experiencing that. But they're not They're not 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.960 going to be like, oh, we lost Game five, So 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.720 I guess we better not board that plane to Toronto. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:25.680 Our season's over. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:29.840 No, those guys are gonna regroup, get that day off. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.280 Hopefully they have some baseball talk on that plane to Toronto. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.280 I mean they got that player's only plane. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.240 That's where they should be talking about the game, and 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:42.040 you know, picking each other up and looking each other 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.560 in the eye and making sure nobody is quitting on. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.840 The season, which I don't believe they will. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.120 Eight six six eight seven two five seventy is the 0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:55.080 phone number. Ryan, also at Dodgers Stadium tonight. Hi, Ryan, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:56.200 you're on Dodger Talk. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:58.560 Hey, how the gondv? 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.320 Well I've been better, Ryan. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.320 I would have liked to have seen the Dodgers win 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.400 one of these last two games. But uh, you know, 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.880 you have to wonder whether or not those eighteen innings 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.080 hurt the Dodgers more than the Blue Jays because, uh, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.960 the bullpen is super thin and the offense is struggling 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:17.520 right now. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.640 Yeah, it's crazy to think if we don't get that 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.840 eighteen inning game, we're looking at a sweep at home. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.640 It's like, come on, Ruth, definitely better than this, you know, like, 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:27.360 very very disappointing. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.840 Yeah it is, but they got two more opportunities to 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.360 win games, and the Dodgers have won two in a 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.680 row many times, and the Blue Jays still have to 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.760 beat the Dodgers four times in a best of seven series. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.080 I refuse to believe that they can do that until 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:49.200 they prove me otherwise. Eight six six eight seven two 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:52.479 five seventy is the phone number. Let's head back downstairs 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:57.080 to the Dodger clubhouse to hear from Freddie Freeman on. 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.680 His command from the first game. He had everything working tonight, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.280 but again, I still got to put some runs on 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.440 board and do a better job, and we just haven't 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:07.600 done that for about two a half games. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.919 You guys have been in this situation before, backs against 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.120 the wall, looking to win this series. I mean, you're 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:14.239 obviously not out of it. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:15.960 What is just kind of is. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.920 There a conversation as you guys traveled to Toronto to 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:20.320 find a way to get things going. 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.679 I think it's kind of bigs for itself that they 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.240 just played a better game than us tonight, balls and 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.439 thirds later on guys, just corre musician, they're getting them in. 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.520 Just you know, they just pitched really good too, So 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:32.800 they just outplayed US today. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.439 I'm always like the regular season when you guys are 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.639 starting in, but like, what did you learn from that 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.600 point in time that maybe you can apply to try 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.280 to turn things around for game six and seven. 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.120 We all know what we're capable of than we haven't 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.400 done it for two games, So maybe they off will 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.360 cool them down over there and we'll reunite. 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:54.960 Us to carry over all eighteen. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.040 The news early is that something that where it's just 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:00.000 they kind of just responded better the last couple of days. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.000 They just played better baseball with the last two days. 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.359 I don't think anybody's thinking about a game two days ago. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.560 I mean, it's just playing simple. They just played better 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:08.200 than the US today. 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.240 There's a lot of characters in this clubhouse. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.320 What do you like about this team to lean into faces? 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.160 Last year we were down to one to the Potters 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:19.760 and when two games in a row, so we can 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:20.240 do it again. 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.879 Where do you talk a lot about the offense that 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.600 you need to kind of count alive or in a 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.480 pre game do you have any considering the talent of 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.159 your line? If the US. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:30.920 This is what the. 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.760 Offense is playing, when you go into this game, you 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.359 would tackle lane, and our lane today was up against 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.320 Savage and it was just a complete one eighty from 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.080 game one. His his command was was pinpoint. Tonight we 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:45.800 were fighting that lane and he was still getting the 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.840 slider and split it down below the zone for strikes. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.240 And that was the difference from game one. 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:51.400 He had a lot of. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.320 Non competitive missers in game one and today you didn't 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.040 have that. And credit to him. That was that was 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.960 a really good game pitched by him and Anthony and Jeff. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.120 And you know, baseball is a hard game, and it's 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.159 been hard for us the last two days. But like 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.040 we said, we've been in a situation before like we 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:10.200 were last year, and we can do it again. 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:11.520 You're back to there against the wall. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.159 But how good does it feel to Knowles pitching for 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:14.880 you guys now? 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.160 I mean again, Yeah, we feel really good about our 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.400 starting pitching and our pitching staff. So we're gonna need 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.720 jobs to do it again and hopefully as an offense, 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:23.880 we can score some more runs for him. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.520 In addition, you Savage a splitter better this time around. 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.679 Than It's all command. He just had command. He was 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.280 able to throw up for strikes on oh, he wasn't 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.159 able to do that in Game one, so it was 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:34.880 all command tonight. When you get strike one and get 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:36.040 ahead of us, it's really hard to hit. 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:37.879 We talked about, you know, being down to one of 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.800 the padres, but how much of that experience that you 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.199 guys have as a team won a World Series last year, 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.440 knowing the confidence going into a game six situation. 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:46.920 Yeah, we're confident. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:47.920 We know who we are. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:50.480 We know we got to play better baseball, and we'll 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:51.560 try to do that in two days. 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:55.000 You guys are crying to become the first repeat champions. 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.520 We're just trying to play baseball game right now. If 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.280 you're thinking about trying to win some that's two wins away, 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:03.000 then you were thinking about the wrong thing. We need 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.360 to worry about Friday and play a better baseball game. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.080 All right, there's Freddy Freeman. He's got the right mindset. 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.960 You can't be worried about winning two games in Game six. 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.520 You have to win Game six to even have an 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:19.680 opportunity to win Game seven. And like I said before, 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.920 you know, with Don Zimmer relay to Joe Tory, you've 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.960 got to win the inning in front of you. And 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.720 that's what the Dodgers need to have in their minds 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.119
