42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: I too, feel like I got a little jolts here,

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 5: a little energy ready to go for Game six tonight.

44

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,680

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: good about this Game six matchup tonight with Yoshinobu Yamamoto

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 5: and Kevin Gosman on the mount. Now we talked about it,

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 5: we teased it on YouTube. Kevin Gosman going for the

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 5: second time in this World Series. They saw him in

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 5: Game two. Veteran right hander. He's got a really good fastball,

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 5: got a little tail on it, but he throws the

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 5: sinker and the split finger as well. So he throws

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 5: the ball down in the zone and the key is

54
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 5: And again you're gonna comment on this more than I

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: I'm just setting you up here. But as a hitter,

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 5: he gets chases with that pitch low in the zone,

57
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: the fast ball, the sinker, the splitter. He throws it

58
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: low in the zone and that splitter just drops and

59
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: you swing to the top of it. Yeah, it disappears

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 5: and you swing over the top of it. And that's

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 5: what he's been really good at. And what the Dodger

62
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 5: hitters have struggle with the key, I think. And this

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 5: is where you're gonna step in and tell me if

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 5: I'm an idiot or on the same page. The Dodgers

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 5: need to look for the ball middle up. Don't look

66
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: for that ball low in the zone. Let it go,

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 5: because it's going to be either if the strike zone

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: is being called the way it should be, it'll be

69
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 5: a ball and you're not chasing at that split finger

70
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 5: out of the zone. So the key is look for

71
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 5: the ball middle high and if you can get that

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 5: pitch up in the zone, they can tee off on it.

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 4: What do you think?

74
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 5: What do you think about Kevin Gosman and that approach

75
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: tonight that that's exactly right. I mean, that's what I

76
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: was going to say.

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: You gotta make sure that that ball, you gotta expect

78
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: it to be about bell high. If the ball isn't

79
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: a bell tie, and then you just got to lay

80
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 4: off it because what is going to do is the

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: fastball is going to you know, stay up, it's going

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 4: to continue its ride. But the splitter, his signature pitch,

83
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: is going to disappear. And if you show him early

84
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 4: in the game that you're gonna lay off that pitch,

85
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 4: he will become a bit disgruntled with it and he

86
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: will have to go to something else that is Effectives

87
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 4: talk about this all the time. He said, why did

88
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: you throw so many sliders tonight?

89
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: Why?

90
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: And your best pitch is A is a splitter, well,

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 4: because my slider was working the best, so I just

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 4: leaned into it. Pitchers will go to what's working best

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: for them. And what's very, very notable is that pitchers,

94
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: you throw a splitter on one time, the guy will

95
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: swing and miss at it. Then you throw another splitter,

96
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 4: he swings and misses at it again. What do you

97
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: think he's going to throw on the third pitch? He'll

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 4: throw it again. He'll throw it until you stop swinging

99
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: at it. So that's what you have to establish early

100
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: in the game. And I think the Dodgers have been

101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: around the block. The experience factor is gonna come through.

102
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 4: They've faced this guy lots of time, the big, tall,

103
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: lanky guy from Colorado. That's what Kevin Gosman is. And

104
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: you know I have They know what he's gonna throw

105
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: is there's no mystery here. Okay, there's no surprises. Okay,

106
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: they know what he's gonna tack him with. You got him,

107
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 4: make him bring the ball up in the zone.

108
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 5: He has faced the Dodgers now ten times in his career,

109
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: and a bulk of those starts were in twenty twenty

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 5: one and twenty four, and this year we're seeing him

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 5: again here in the postseason, when he was with the

112
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 5: Giants for those couple of years post COVID and during

113
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: COVID in twenty they saw him an awful lot. That's

114
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 5: where a lot of those ten starts came against the Dodgers,

115
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 5: and a lot of those guys are still around. Yeah,

116
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 5: for the Dodgers on those twenty and twenty one teams

117
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: that saw Kevin Gosman. You mentioned it earlier, seeing a

118
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: Treyy Savage a lot seeing a picture. Often in a

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 5: seven game series, you start figuring out tendencies, you start

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: getting more comfortable in the box. This is a team

121
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 5: now seeing him for the second time here in this October,

122
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 5: and a lot of guys have seen him nine ten

123
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 5: times already. Does that favor the Dodgers?

124
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 4: Yes, it does. The more you see him the better.

125
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 4: But I think another important key is in as much

126
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: as you know he's gonna throw the splitter, sometimes you

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: can throw it at any part of the count, but

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: you gotta be stay you gotta stay tuned in, and

129
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 4: you got to be what they say on You gotta

130
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: be on the number one. You gotta be on.

131
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: His fastball, because that's his fastest pitch.

132
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: Hey, you stay locked in on the fastball, you time

133
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 4: it up on the fastball, and you adjust to all

134
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: the other pitches because they're slower than the fastball.

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: You can't.

136
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: You can't look for a slow pitch and then time

137
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 4: up the fastball. It's too late. The ball's by you.

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 4: You got to look for the fastball and adjust to

139
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: everything else. Just be very cognizant that you got to

140
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: make a bring the ball up.

141
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Dodgers, I truly believe can get to Kevin

142
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 5: Gosman tonight. Yeah, as people are pointing up on the

143
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 5: on the chat real board there on YouTube. Yeah, he

144
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 5: is Jekyll and Hyde what he was with Atlanta, when

145
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: he was with San Francisco early in his career in Baltimore.

146
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 5: The guy can show stuff, but then he also very

147
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 5: hit able. So depending on which Kevin Gods when they

148
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: see and Dodgers, you can kind of use that. In

149
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 5: Game two, he was really good, struck out sevent or

150
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: he retired seventeen in a row at one point, but

151
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: then when he wasn't good, the Dodgers scored two runs

152
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 5: off of him in the seventh couple of solo home

153
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 5: runs chased him from the game and eventually got to him.

154
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: I just hope it doesn't take one or two spins

155
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 5: around the lineup like it did in Game two to

156
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 5: get to him. They need to get to him earlier tonight.

157
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: Listen, this guy, Kevin Gosman, is what they call a horse. Okay.

158
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: This guy is going wire to wire. That's what he's

159
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: built for.

160
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 4: He's a race horse, okay, And so this guy can

161
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: you know, plan for that. But also remember, because of

162
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: the different amount of pitches he throws and the different

163
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: grips that he has, guys like this will have a

164
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: tendency to hang a slider or hang one of those splitters,

165
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: because they can be hanging pitches too, and if that happens,

166
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: you can tee off on them. The great thing if

167
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: you're a pitcher is you got a great slider. I mean,

168
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 4: you can tantalyze these guys all day long. You can

169
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 4: almost tell them it's coming. And that thing's going to

170
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: start out in the middle of the plate. It's on

171
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: its track to the plate. It's a strike until the

172
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: last five feet that boom. It just disappears like that

173
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: splitter does. The thing about it is if you hang one,

174
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 4: what they do in the big leagues is you hang

175
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: it and we bang it. And so you gotta be

176
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 4: really aware if he gives you an opportunity to hang one,

177
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: hangs one, just like Guerrero did against show Hay. When

178
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: show Hey hung that slider, he hung it right there

179
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 4: in the wheehouse. What happened? He banged it, And so

180
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 4: you got to.

181
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: Be aware of that. Just because he's got the great

182
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: stuff doesn't mean he won't make a mistake.

183
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: He makes a mistake, you bang it now.

184
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: As a player, you know, you know, sometimes you need

185
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 5: a little motivation. You know, you need a little something

186
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 5: to get a little fire in your belly. Tour you up.

187
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: You need something, a bulletin boar material sometimes to get

188
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: a rallying cry. Now, the Kevin Gosman rallying cry. Apparently

189
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 5: the last twenty four hours, according to a report on

190
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 5: the Athletic is all the talking Game six has been

191
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 5: Yoshinoba Yamamoto. How great he was in game two going

192
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 5: up against Kevin Gosman. You know, Kevin's been dependable for Toronto,

193
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: but the advantage is Yamamoto. Apparently, Kevin Gosman's feels slighted.

194
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 5: He feels a little snubbed here, and he's using this

195
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 5: as his motivation tonight going into Game six. That's good,

196
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 5: just not an afterthought. Guys. I'm just not the other

197
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 5: guy in this pitching matchup that I'm a pretty good

198
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 5: starter as well. So he's looking to that now for

199
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 5: a little fire in his book.

200
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: Okay, So I'll sum this up quickly. You're in the

201
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: major leagues, You're in the World Series. You're a grown

202
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: blank man. Okay. If somebody needs to motivate you, there's

203
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 4: something wrong with you. Okay, there's something absolutely wrong with you.

204
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about a little bit of shot in

205
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: the arm inspiration to really push you over the edge

206
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 4: or to really get your eye up. But if you're

207
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: going from ground zero and you need to be motivated

208
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 4: up by somebody, there's something wrong with you. You know. No,

209
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what it was like with us on

210
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: the eighty eight team. Okay, it was it was whoever

211
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 4: was pitching the bash brothers age. You know, you know

212
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 4: what we you know what we say to each other.

213
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: I can't say the two words because this is a

214
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 4: family show, but it was blank them dudeses, Okay, bring

215
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: it on and Blank you Okay, that's what it was. Okay,

216
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: we didn't care who it was. Put them out in

217
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: front of us and blank them. Okay, that's what it was.

218
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 4: It was it was you know, it was like, I

219
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: will almost cut your throat for a base hit. Yes

220
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: I will. If your if your mom, if your mom,

221
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: or your sister or your daughter, Sir, with all due respect,

222
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: is in the way of me getting a base hit,

223
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 4: I'm gonna run their ass of Okay, sorry, no disrespect.

224
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: After the game, we'll go out and we'll have dinner

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 4: and we'll be good friends. But during during that time,

226
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: I will run them over for a base And that's

227
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 4: the mentality, you know it.

228
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 5: I love disrespect that has and that goes back to

229
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 5: what Dave Roberts said last night at the press conference,

230
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 5: and that's what Kei Key Hernandez told David Vasse as well,

231
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 5: that they've got to show fight. They got to show

232
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 5: fight tonight in all aspects of the game.

233
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: There was no worry about that. There was no worry

234
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 4: about fight. Okay, nobody had to tell us that you

235
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: gotta worry about fight. There was that fight was there,

236
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 4: I guarantee you.

237
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 5: And they got to show fight in the box tonight.

238
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 5: And here's a question for you, somebody on on the

239
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 5: the comments section. Does moving up in the box help

240
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 5: the batters against a sinker slash, split finger pitcher.

241
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 4: That's Harry Terry Terry, great question, and yes it can help.

242
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: It can help, although it does take back from when

243
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: they throw the fastball. But but so you have to

244
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: measure between changing up what you do in the box

245
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: and moving up as opposed to staying in.

246
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: Your regular grind. There's a difference between the two.

247
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: But theoretically moving in the box, there's pictures, there's video

248
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 4: of baby Ruth actually almost getting a running start from

249
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: the back of the box to the front and swinging

250
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 4: and hitting a home run because he knew that they

251
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: were throwing a pitch that would dip down. So, yeah,

252
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 4: it's a good point. If you can do it, theoretically

253
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: it works.

254
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of chatter about Pete Rose. Pete Rose

255
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: would move around the box. Pete Rose would always talk

256
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 5: about moving your feet around the box and not just

257
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 5: staying in the same spot every single time.

258
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 4: And we sa catching catchers watch that, yeah, and they

259
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 4: relay that to the pitcher. My brother was a catcher.

260
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: He said he watched the feet, he watched the he

261
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 4: could hear guys grunt on a pitch, like you know,

262
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 4: when they're starting to swing, knowing that they're pressing a

263
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: little bit. Would he would see guys reaction, these little

264
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 4: micro reactions to the pitch coming in, and that's how

265
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: the picture figures out what his sequence is is going

266
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: forward against that hitter. He gets the information from the catcher.

267
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 5: Now, this is being asked repeatedly here on the comments section,

268
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 5: and thanks for listening to watching on YouTube as well

269
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: X Facebook.

270
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: We really do appreciate it as we.

271
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 5: Are all over the multiple platforms here on AFI seventy

272
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 5: LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app. But the repeated

273
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 5: question is Pete Rose told a story about how he

274
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 5: took you to dinner.

275
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: Huh did that happen?

276
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: Good?

277
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 2: How did the Pete Rose dinner? Oh? Okay, do you

278
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: want me to tell the stories? Absolutely?

279
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: Do I have two minutes?

280
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

281
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 5: You got plenty of time. People are I got like

282
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 5: five different people asking about it.

283
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 4: Did Pete Rose really take you to dinner? This really happened?

284
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: I need about a minute and a half go for it. Okay,

285
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 4: So in spring training my rookie year, and people were

286
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 4: trying to make comparison between me and Pete Rose. Oh

287
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: you know you play hard whatever. I never patted myself

288
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: after Pete Rose, although I admired him. In spring training,

289
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 4: he tells me, Sacks, come to Philadelphia in May. I've

290
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 4: checked the schedule. When you get there and May, I'm

291
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: gonna take out to dinner. I was like, whoa, I'm

292
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: going to go to dinner with Pete Roe. So I

293
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: ran in the clubhouse. I called up my parents. You

294
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: know the dial rotary phone. I called my parents and said,

295
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to dinner Pete Rose. He said no. I said, yeah,

296
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 4: going to Pete Rose in May. So we go to Philadelphia.

297
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 4: It's May.

298
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: Obviously I go into batting practice.

299
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: He's hitting on the field and I'm thinking, okay, he's

300
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: going to say something to me. He didn't say anything,

301
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 4: so I think I forgot. I was like, oh, I

302
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: was dejected. I was going to go out and take

303
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: some graballs. And just before he disappeared in the dugout,

304
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: he said, Sacks, after the game, meet me in front

305
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 4: of the stadium. We're going to dinner. Look for a

306
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: white car.

307
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: I was like, whoa.

308
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: I remembered looking for a white car. After looking for a.

309
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 4: White car, I was like, well, they came out of

310
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: the players a lot, okay. So I was like, God,

311
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: I can't believe it. I'll sire you for the next night.

312
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: I was flying, okay. I didn't care about I'm going

313
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 4: to with Pete Rose. After the game, I was like, whoa.

314
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: So after the game, I'm standing in front of the stadium,

315
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: I'm looking for a white car. It was kind of

316
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 4: misty and it was almost like a movie set. And

317
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: then out of the mist comes this beautiful, long, white

318
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: car and it had a big medallion at the end

319
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: of it. I said, wow, Pete's great. Pete's great. You know.

320
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: This big medallion at the end of the car and

321
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: it was a Rolls Royce and I didn't know anything

322
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: about what that was. So I'm looking in the car

323
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 4: and he's got this lady in the front seat who

324
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 4: later became his wife. He was a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader.

325
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: And I said, wow, Pete's great. Pete's great, you know,

326
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 4: and he says.

327
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 2: Get in the back seat.

328
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: So I opened the door, get in the back, and

329
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: there's this beautiful lady in the back seat.

330
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: Oh wow, we go it was her.

331
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: It was the front seat lad this is inside stuff.

332
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: It was her best friend. I guess she was like

333
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: the debutante in the area of the day. I was like, whoa,

334
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 4: Pete's great. This is like unbelievable. So I think, man,

335
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: not only can he hit, but he can hook a

336
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: brother up. You know what I mean. This is amazing.

337
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: So that's when I openedly exclaimed to myself, Wow, Pete's great.

338
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: You know when he set me up to the day,

339
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 4: it was great. So we go out to dinner. We're

340
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 4: at a Chinese restaurant. Pete and I are sitting across

341
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 4: from each other, the ladies are sitting across from each other,

342
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 4: and it was great. It was great. We had dinner,

343
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: and after that he dropped me off with hotel. I thought,

344
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 4: Pete's great, this is amazing. You guys talk about we

345
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: talked about hitting, we talked about everything, and the girls

346
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: they were talking whatever. So the next day I'm at

347
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: the ballpark and Pete puts his finger like he's said,

348
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: come here, come here, come here, I go over herem

349
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 4: I said, yeah, thank you so much, mister Rose for

350
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 4: last night. This was amazing. I couldn't believe it. He says, well,

351
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: that girl asked me if there's something wrong with you?

352
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 4: And I said, well, well, what are you talking about?

353
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 4: He goes, she wants to know if you're a little

354
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: and kind of shook his hand like, you know, I'm

355
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 4: a little weird or maybe not. I said, well, what

356
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: do you mean you know like that? And he says, well,

357
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: you didn't say a word to her all night long.

358
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: And I said, well, why should I talk to her?

359
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 4: I'm out with Pete Rose. Yes, that's what I said.

360
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: And that's how it ended.

361
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: That was it?

362
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: Oh, so Pete Rose was disappointed with you because you

363
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 5: didn't talk to the female companion.

364
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: Didn't didn't really wasn't interesting? Now, I said, with Pete Rose,

365
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: why do I want to talk to her? Yeah?

366
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: Your eyes were straight ahead today. Man, I'll tell you what.

367
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 4: I was fortunate that I got to spend an evening

368
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: talking to Pete Rose. It might have not been good

369
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 4: timing for the female companion. She was a very nice lady.

370
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 4: I just didn't even I don't even remember her name.

371
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,240

Speaker 4: Is it real? A? Absolutely, it's real. I loved the hustle.

386
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 4: But what about hitting? We talked about hitting the ball

387
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: through the middle. We talked about this guy got more

388
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,959

Speaker 5: good morning, how you doing?

436
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning guys.

437
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 4: It's up David.

438
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 5: This team yesterday at the workout. What's the sense you got,

439
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 5: David as far as how they're feeling the added two

440
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: where they lose feeling a little tight?

441
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 2: What did you gather from that workout last night?

442
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 3: No, I mean I thought Dave Roberts did a great thing.

443
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: Set the tone at the beginning. The guys just had

444
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: started to come out to stretch and play catch for

445
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: the workout and Dave Roberts challenge Hasan Kim to a

446
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: race first to third. Kim gave Dave Roberts a sizeable

447
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 3: lead to start out with, and Kim lapped him coming

448
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: around second base, and Dave a dirt I think he

449
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: actually strained his right handstring when he tried to, you know,

450
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: shortcut second base, and the entire team started laughing, and

451
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: it kind of set the tone for a lighter mood

452
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 3: in the workout. So I thought that was great. And

453
00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 3: talking to Clayton Kershaw, Freddie Freeman, Key k just seems

454
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 3: like the guys are in a really good headspace. They

455
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: needed that day off, I think just to kind of reset,

456
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: and I really do believe they're in a good spot

457
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: to be able to score some runs for Yamamoto and

458
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: force the game seven.

459
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 4: Dave, good to be with you today. And speaking of

460
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: reset and Hasan Kim, we've been throwing some things around

461
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 4: here around the set. Any chance we might find a

462
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 4: surprise at second base or center field or what is

463
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 4: your thought about that?

464
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, a couple of observations from yesterday's workout may

465
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 3: be something, it may not be anything, But when shoe

466
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 3: Aotani was launching baseballs into the Rogers Center upper deck

467
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: last night, ta Oscar Hernandez was heckling him from left

468
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: field to Oscar Hernandez was shag and fly balls in

469
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 3: left field last night. Don't know if that means anything

470
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: or not, but something to keep an eye and look,

471
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 3: Tommy Edmond has still struggled in this series. Could we

472
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: see Miguel Rojas in the starting lineup. I wouldn't be

473
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 3: surprised that Miguel Rojas is in this lineup tonight.

474
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 5: That could be the spark they need. David, we were

475
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 5: talking about Hasan Kim. You know he's gonna added more

476
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 5: of a spark, you know what he could bring to

477
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 5: the bottom of the line up, to speed. It's just

478
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 5: something different, you know, just something that can maybe give

479
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: this Dodgers team a boost, get some traffic on the

480
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 5: bass pass cost him havoc with the ground ball with

481
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 5: his speed. But Miguel Rojas is interesting because he's a

482
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 5: great defensive player. He's a veteran up the middle to

483
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: go with Mookie Betts and again a guy who at

484
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 5: the bottom of the lineup could help produce. But outside

485
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 5: of him, Keyky Hernandez, who you talk to, He's got

486
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 5: to have a big game tonight. Max Munci is one

487
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 5: of these guys who just feels like he's just almost

488
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: there as far as those home runs are concerned. It's

489
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 5: just it's been the case all series. Just almost hit

490
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 5: it right, two guys, We're almost gonna break through. Do

491
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 5: you feel like this offense can break through tonight?

492
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 3: They have the talent too. I mean, I find it

493
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: really hard to believe that this offense is going to

494
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 3: go down quietly, and it seems like guys have to

495
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: just start competing and not trying to outguess what the

496
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: Picture is going to throw them in certain counts. I

497
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: feel like the Dodgers are at that point where it's like, hey,

498
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 3: whatever our game plan was, it's not working. And more importantly,

499
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: in the middle of the game, you've got to watch

500
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: what the picture is doing and be able to adjust

501
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 3: in game, and I feel like that has been lacking

502
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: all postseasons, and I feel like the Dodgers are in

503
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: a point where they have to make those adjustments or

504
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: they're going home tonight.

505
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: Dave. If let's say that Yamamoto doesn't go the whole route,

506
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 4: but he has a good game and he goes deep

507
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 4: into the game seventh inning to whatever is that everybody

508
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: available today and then everybody available tomorrow or you know,

509
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 4: like you said, they don't win today, they go home.

510
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's everybody available today, but I would

511
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: say the high leverage guys like Roki Sasaki could be available.

512
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even be surprised if Tyler glassnew pitches in

513
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 3: any today, considering these are the last two games. And yeah, look,

514
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: if we're talking about Shoho Tani being available to pitch tomorrow,

515
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 3: I don't see any other scenario than other than him

516
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 3: opening the game and giving the Dodgers as much as

517
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: he's got and Glass now Snell coming in after him.

518
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: Looks like George Springer will be back for this Toronto lineup,

519
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: obviously as a designated hitter. If he's able to play tonight,

520
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: that could shake up things as far as Bulbushet now

521
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 5: having to play the infield and a guy coming out

522
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 5: of the lineup that's been so productive for them. With

523
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: that being said, Kevin Gosman, the Dodgers were eventually able

524
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 5: to get to him in that seventh inning in Game two,

525
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 5: but I'm trying to make sure Dodger fans remember he

526
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 5: was really good against him. Also in Game two, he

527
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 5: retired seventeen in a row at one point. They've got

528
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 5: to get to him early and can't let him get

529
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 5: into that rhythm.

530
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 2: That he did in Game two.

531
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: Well, that goes back to what I was just talking about.

532
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 3: Kevin Gosman was throwing a heavy dose of fastballs up

533
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: until the sixth inning and the Dodgers were still waiting

534
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: for his split finger fastball that never came. So, like

535
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 3: I said, talking to a lot of people, the coaching staff,

536
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 3: players last night on the plane, they've got to be

537
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: able to see what that picture's game plan is in

538
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: real time and be able to adjust.

539
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, David, do you see the Dodgers implementing a little

540
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 4: bit more speed in the game. They got guys that

541
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 4: can run into this team. They got a couple can

542
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: do it. And I'm not talking necessarily on a straight steal,

543
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: but dirt balls and Blaby with the splitter, you're gonna

544
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: get your opportunity to test Kirk after the block. How

545
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 4: nimble is he with that body to get up, get

546
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: the ball and throw you out. I think they got

547
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 4: an ability here on these dirtballs that the Gosman's gonna

548
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 4: throw to put the pressure on all Andre Kirk after

549
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 4: the block.

550
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great point. They certainly need to get

551
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: guys on to be able to take advantage of that

552
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 3: and put some pressure. But Dodgers haven't really put a

553
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: lot of guys in motion, even with true their offense struggling.

554
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: So I'm on board with you, Steve. They've got to

555
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: be able to move guys on full counts less than

556
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 3: two outs to even just stay out of double plays.

557
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 5: David, I want to go back to your conversation with

558
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 5: Kei k Hernandez, which was great. If you missed it,

559
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 5: you can hear it on Wrongo Casino Dodgers on Deck,

560
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: a very candid one on one with KIK and this

561
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 5: Dodgers team being down and having been there before just

562
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 5: a year ago. In this postseason. We also heard from

563
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts in his press conference yesterday, and the word

564
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 5: fight was used by both Keik and by Dave Roberts,

565
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 5: and Dave was very very strong about, Hey, these guys

566
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 5: got to start fighting in the box. They got to

567
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 5: be competing up there in the box and have better

568
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 5: at bats. It feels like Dave Roberts, more than any

569
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 5: other time that I can remember, is sending a message

570
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: to his team through the media. Hey, guys, better at bats.

571
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 5: We got to start competing and fighting. That word seems

572
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 5: to be used a lot the last twenty four hours.

573
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've brought this up after Game five. I think

574
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: it bears the question asking bears to be able to

575
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 3: be discussed. Did the eighteen inning game take more out

576
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: of the Dodgers than it took out of the Blue

577
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: Jays Because the Dodgers are a group of thirty somethings

578
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 3: and the energy coming back for you know, Game four

579
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 3: just didn't seem to be there. Game five still a

580
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 3: little residual effect of that. I think, really the day

581
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: off yesterday is going to benefit these Dodger players to

582
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 3: be able to you know, come back fresh starting tonight.

583
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 3: I really do believe we overestimated or underestimated the fact

584
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: that that eighteen inning game actually didn't benefit the Dodgers,

585
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 3: even though they want it, and the Jas came out,

586
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: you know, with a lot of energy, and the Dodgers,

587
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: you know, thirty two thirty three year old guys couldn't

588
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: get their bodies to respond after that.

589
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dave, I wanted to make more of a statement

590
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: here than a question, and I want to get your

591
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 4: response is, I know the times I played in a

592
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: very tough, hostile environment such as what they're going to

593
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 4: face at Rogers Center, and they've obviously seen it before.

594
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: Sometimes when you have such a heightened awareness where we

595
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 4: are in the World Series now, you can use that,

596
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 4: you know, suppose a disadvantage of the other crowd if

597
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 4: you will playing in the other stadium, you can use

598
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: that to your advantage. And players sometimes that are coming

599
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: in as a visitor thrive, absolutely thrive on getting the

600
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 4: crowd ticked off by beating their team, So that can

601
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: be an inspiration I think for the Dodgers.

602
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see that, Steve. I mean, Rogers Center

603
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: was rocking in the first two games. The Dodgers didn't

604
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 3: give their home crowd a lot to cheer about in

605
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 3: three games at Dodgers Stadium, So the energy certainly will

606
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: well fuel that fire, if you will, for the Dodgers

607
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: to be able to win a game six. And I

608
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: don't know if you guys saw this, but Yamamoto was

609
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: in a similar situation with his team in Japan the

610
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: year before he came to the Dodgers. In the Japan Series,

611
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: his team was down three games to two and Yamamoto

612
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: pitched a complete game at fourteen strikeouts, and his team

613
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 3: in Japan went on to win Game seven. So he's

614
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: no stranger to these type of situations.

615
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: That's a great nugget, right, great, great nugget, right.

616
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 5: That is great intel as well, that he's been in

617
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 5: this situation before, and of course I'm not surprised. That's

618
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 5: why he is the best of the best. And David

619
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 5: Vesse our Dodger insied, DV appreciate it. We'll hear from

620
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 5: you throughout the day leading up to Marongo Casino. Dodgers

621
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: on deck and hopefully a big win for the Dodgers,

622
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,200

627
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,240

628
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm starting it is a Japan League though it's not.

629
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 5: It's not here, I know, but it proved me up

630
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 5: a little bit, sad enough, I feel a little bit

631
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 5: better now, absolutely. I mean, and pitched well in the

632
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: postseason last year Game five against the Padres, but man,

633
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 5: if he's been in this before over in Japan. Back

634
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three, sign me up for a guy

635
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 5: who's uh been there, done that and knows the pressure

636
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 5: of pitching a game like this.

637
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 4: And this might be a good thing too, that that

638
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: George Springer coming back from being injured missing this time.

639
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: You know, who's to say that he's going to go

640
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: in there and put the cape on and be a

641
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: savior again. He might be. He might be a liability

642
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 4: to this team.

643
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: I'd like to see Yama just put one night.

644
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say.

645
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: You don't want to thump no, no, no, how about

646
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 2: how listen if he happened to.

647
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: Hit him in the ribkh again, I don't want to

648
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: hurt him really bad. I just want to put him

649
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 4: out for a couple of games.

650
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: But you know, you just can't be afraid to throw

651
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 5: the ball inside that. That's all I'm saying.

652
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 4: You never want to aim the head never never never never,

653
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: never maybe the hand, I mean a little broken fingers.

654
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 5: You got to make sure these guys realize there's two

655
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 5: You know, there's two sides of the plate. There's the middle,

656
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 5: there's the inside, there's the outside, And you can't just

657
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 5: sit there and own the inside. If you're a hitter,

658
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 5: you know you gotta be you be aware that the

659
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: picture is gonna throw inside a little bit, and we're.

660
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 4: We're not We're just kidd We don't want to hurt anybody. No,

661
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 4: nobody wants to get hurt. Nobody wants to break a

662
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 4: bone or anything like that. But what I'm saying is

663
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: you can pitch inside and be effective. Yeah, and I

664
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 4: think you're right about that. There's nothing wrong with moving

665
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 4: a guy's feet once in a while. You don't you

666
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 4: don't have to thump him, but but you need to

667
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 4: move his feet once in a while.

668
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's easy one of them.

669
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 5: What's interesting a couple of days ago, I brought the

670
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 5: fact that the eighteen inning game, uh, and this Dodgers

671
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: team looked tired and played like that, and how could

672
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 5: they be tired? And now that that's being kind of

673
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 5: thrown out there that maybe did it affect him?

674
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 4: That's over now.

675
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 2: I got I got criticized for that.

676
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 4: By the way.

677
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 5: There was some people saying, like, how would you say that?

678
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 5: How dare you who we are to say that? And

679
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, now it's like, yeah, maybe

680
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: it did affect this team.

681
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it did. Maybe, right, I don't think

682
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: it did, but I don't know.

683
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: I don't either. It's it's an easy call to say that. Yeah,

684
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: but you know, I mean, how do you know?

685
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 5: Uh, we'll come back and we'll wrap things up on

757
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 4: post Here's the thing I'm sort of on standby Steve.

758
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 5: I have pre game from four to five Moroco Casino

759
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 5: Dodgers on deck. And if I don't even want to

760
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 5: put it out there, but let's say Raiders. Yeah, I

761
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 5: got Raiders on Sunday. I got college football game to

762
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 5: market SMU and Miami on the radio.

763
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

764
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,760
Speaker 5: If if for some reason things don't go the Dodgers

765
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 5: way tonight and they have to return home for the

766
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 5: end of the season, I'll have postgame uh tonight on

767
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 5: the radio. But if the Dodgers win, which I'm fully

768
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 5: expecting them to do, David Vassay's got that covered because

769
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 5: he'll be live at Rogers Center and there'll be a

770
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 5: game seven tomorrow. So here's what I'm doing. You know,

771
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 5: it's fifty to fifty way they lose. I'm either on

772
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 5: our run, I'm planning on not working tonight, and I

773
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 5: am planning so by going out and having some margaritas

774
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 5: after the pregame show.

775
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 4: That's what you should do.

776
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 5: So I am banking on the fact that I'm not

777
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 5: doing postgame show tonight, but if for some reason things

778
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 5: don't go the Dodgers way, it is going to be

779
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 5: a very fun postgame show tonight with yours truly, after

780
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: a couple of margarita's, I can imagine establishment don Kucko's here.

781
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 5: By the way, our our our good friend father Gary,

782

783
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 5: I want to take Steve Sacks to Greece.

784
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so well all right, so never been there

785
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: obviously either invitation to go to Greece.

786
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 5: So again, we're we're back at it on Monday. As

787
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 5: we flipped the calendar in November. If the Dodgers win

788
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 5: and there's a World Series celebration, we will be back

789
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 5: with you. So we fully on Monday. We fully expect

790
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 5: to see you back on Monday. Wow, Dodgers will be here.

791
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 4: So we got so if they win the World Series,

792
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 4: we got scam on Monday.

793
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 5: We will be back all right at six am here

794
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 5: on a five seventy Sports.

795
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: But it's gotta it's gotta be done by the Dodgers.

796
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 5: It's got to be done between the lines tonight in

797
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 5: game six to force a game seven.

798
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: And that leaves us to Steves Keys.

799
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 5: All right, Saxy tonight Game six, Yamamoto, Kevin Gosman, what

800
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 5: is it gonna take to win tonight?

801
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 4: Okay? So, because Gosman is so effective on what he

802
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 4: brings to the table, I think you got to make

803
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 4: him eliminate a pitch. So if it's that slider that

804
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 4: he's working so effectively last time, if it's the splitter

805
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 4: that's uh that he is really his signature pitch, I

806
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 4: think they got to make him not want to throw

807
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 4: one of those pitches because they're laying off it and

808
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 4: they're not offering at it. So if he's can't, if

809
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 4: he's not gonna be able to throw everything for a strike,

810
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 4: which is you know, very very difficult for pitchers to

811
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 4: do that they go out and do a yes savage,

812
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 4: So everything for a strike, I think you gotta lay

813
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 4: off the splitter, make him abandon the pitch, and then

814
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 4: you only have two pitches to worry about instead of three.

815
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 5: I think that's gonna be the key. Don't chase the splitter.

816
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 5: Do not chase the splitter. Anything low, layoff, let it go.

817
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 5: That's right, it's low, let it go, it's high.

818
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 4: Let it fly.

819
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: If it's low, let it go. If it's high, let

820
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: it fly.

821
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 5: That's gotta be the mantra of this Dodger's offense tonight.

822
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 3: It is.

823
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: It has to be.

824
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 4: It's low, let it go, that's high, let it fly.

825
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 5: It has to be for game six tonight, and Yama

826
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 5: moto be Yama tonight. You'll get it. Leave it out there,

827
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 5: empty the tank. There's no way you're pitching in Game

828
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 5: seven tomorrow. So go out there and let it fly.

829
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 5: Go out there, give it all you can, and as

830
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 5: much as you can, empty the tank. Every Dodger needs

831
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 5: to have that philosophy of empty the tank tonight. There

832
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 5: is no tomorrow if you lose. The Dodgers need to

833
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 5: win tonight and then figure it out tomorrow.

834
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 4: So there is no eulogy for scam because we're gonna

835
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 4: be here Monday.

836
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 5: We'd better be here monday, okay, because we don't If

837
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 5: not Saxy it has been a fantastic run.

838
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: Oh man, it has been in October. Put the future,

839
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: remember it has been. It has been a fantastic hang on,

840
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: hang on, listen, the tissues are out. Listen. I hope

841
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 2: this is a premature, premature, a little.

842
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: Bit for scam. Well, everybody on the message Spoort says

844
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 5: and stop and stop. It brought me to a position

845
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 5: now good.

846
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 4: I didn't want to be in.

847
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 5: It's an uncomfortable position, but a fair position. We have

848
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 5: to face its reality. It's that it's going to come

849
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 5: to an idiot or scam at some point. We just

850
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 5: hope it's on Monday.

851
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,359
