Speaker 1: They say, the hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons. It's winning it again this

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: Yearning is.

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

59
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Come on us.

60
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 7: I used to rub my game worn underwear all over

61
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 7: that dude in the locker room. Yeah, but John's John

62
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 7: is such a good dude. He's such a good guy.

63
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 7: I'm so happy for him. Please give him my Yeah.

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 6: He is one of the head of VP communications for

65
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball. He's in town. He's been with the

66
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 6: Dodgers from the previous round to the NLCS in the

67
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 6: World Series. He's a great guy. And you know, I

68
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 6: didn't know it went. It ran that deep in the

69
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 6: Bronx with you and John Blundel that he was a

70
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 6: back boy. That was that weird year where the Dodgers

71
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 6: and Yankees unintentionally swapped second baseman. The Dodgers unwisely let

72
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 6: our guy, Steve Sachs sign with the Yankees after winning

73
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: the World Series, and then after that they took the

74
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 6: consolation prize Willie Randolph for a year.

75
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 7: And I got to push back a little bit on

76
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 7: that because Willie Randolph was a very very good choice

77
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers after I left, because he was an

78
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 7: All Star that year. Willie Randolph made the All Star

79
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 7: team and Willy was a phenomenal player. I was always

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 7: a big fan of Willie, so I think the Dodgers

81
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 7: got got a very very good guy there.

82
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 6: Willy never won a World Series with the Dodgers.

83
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 5: Well that's true, Okay, all right, day, the team went

84
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 5: through a workout yesterday. Tyler Glass now gets the start today.

85
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: How are you feeling about Glass now? Is he the

86
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 5: kind of guy that can to raise his game even

87
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: more to the level where Snell and Yamamoto have taken

88
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: his starting rotation.

89
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 6: Well, I'm going to get deep again like I did yesterday,

90
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 6: and it's not about Glass now trying to match Blake

91
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 6: Snell or trying to match Yamamoto. I firmly believe this

92
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 6: today is more in every start for Tyler Glass now

93
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 6: is more. Tyler Glass now versus Tyler Glass now. And

94
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 6: what I mean by that is him just not getting

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 6: in the way of himself and his ability by overthinking things.

96
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 6: The way that Dave Roberts has explained it is he

97
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 6: has talked to Glass now since he came back from

98
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 6: the IL, just imploring him to free himself up, free

99
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 6: his mind up, which will allow his mechanics, his stuff

100
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 6: to play as big as it has in the second

101
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 6: half of the season. So I feel like after that

102
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 6: last start against the Phillies where he went six scoreless innings,

103
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 6: he was such a big part of the Dodgers winning

104
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 6: that game and winning that series at home. You know,

105
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 6: he is a local kid from Hardheights School. I think

106
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 6: all those things just boosted his confidence and you know,

107
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 6: just his demeanor. Ever since then, people want to do

108
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 6: interviews with him, He's on national TV. I think he

109
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 6: understands just how good he's pitching and how good of

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 6: a spot he's in right now. So he has to

111
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 6: continue that. And like I said, it's more about Tyler

112
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 6: Glass now versus Glass now than it is Tyler Glass

113
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 6: now versus the Brewers.

114
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 7: Good point, David, I wanted to ask you a little

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 7: bit about more about show. Hey, this is such a

116
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 7: huge amount of press that's coming about him, because you know,

117
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 7: he hasn't hit ten balls out of the ballpark yet.

118
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 7: But you know, I wanted to add Quintana is probably

119
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 7: going to get the bulk of the endings today. Once again,

120
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 7: we're looking at a left hander to try to neutralize Otani.

121
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 7: That's what this is all about, Dave. He's changing the

122
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 7: game just by being in the lineup. Now, you got

123
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 7: to deal with all these right handed guys that can

124
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 7: really thump. Kintan has got to deal with that. Okay,

125
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 7: say you take care of Otani. You got you got

126
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 7: a whole bunch of guys that can thump that are

127
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 7: right handed as well. And by the way, what's this

128
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 7: deal about Otani taking BP on the field.

129
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was there last night at Dodgers Stadium. I

130
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 6: was about to leave Steve and I started to get

131
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 6: work from people around the team that hey, don't go anywhere.

132
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 6: He's going to come out and take batting practice, And

133
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 6: I said, really, okay, So I stayed there was about

134
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 6: five o'clock at night. He took VP around five point

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 6: thirty last night. And the reason why it's such a

136
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 6: big deal is because he's only done that one other

137
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 6: time in his entire major league career, taking batting practice

138
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 6: at Dodgers Stadium, and that was his last year with

139
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 6: the Angels. When the Angels came to play the Dodgers,

140
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 6: many people were stating that he came out on the

141
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 6: field to take batting practice kind of showcase himself for

142
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 6: the Dodgers, and who knows what his intentions were.

143
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: Back then, But this is somewhat.

144
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 6: Interesting because o'tan is so process oriented. This is completely

145
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 6: outside of his process to come out on the field

146
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 6: and take batting practice. And on my way home, I

147
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 6: tapped into a guy that played all twelve years with

148
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 6: the Dodgers and still keeps tabs with this team, and

149
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 6: that's andre easier. And his theory was that during the postseason,

150
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 6: there's not a game every day, and if you're just

151
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: hitting in the cage, you never see the ball travel,

152
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 6: and as you know Steve, seeing the ball travel means

153
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 6: a lot as far as confidence goes, And that was

154
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 6: his theory on why Otani decided last night to come

155
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 6: out and take batting practice on the field. And O'tani

156
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: certainly got his confidence back because he hit at least

157
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 6: three home runs onto the roof of Dodgers Stadium on

158
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 6: the right field pavilion. I mean they were loud thumps.

159
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 6: There's a DISO sign hanging from the bottom of the

160
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 6: right field pavilion. He hit one off that sign. Dave

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 6: Roberts stuck around, Freddie Freeman, other players stuck around to

162
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 6: watch the show, and he put on one.

163
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 9: Wow.

164
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: It's interesting, David.

165
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 5: Everybody wants to try to find an answer and try

166
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: to pinpoint why he has struggled this postseason. The questions

167
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 5: over and over, even to him directly yesterday, Well, do

168
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 5: you think your pitching is bothering your hitting? Do you

169
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 5: think it's affecting the way you're hitting? Do you think

170
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 5: being a two way player is detrimental to what you're

171
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 5: doing at the plate? It seems to be they're trying

172
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: to find a narrative, right They're trying to find the

173
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 5: reason why he's struggling. Could it just be the pitching

174
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 5: has neutralized him and as you mentioned, he's not able

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: to hit every day because they're not playing every day.

176
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: Does it have to be that's he's a two way player.

177
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 6: Well, it's hard to argue that because the numbers show

178
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 6: that he doesn't hit well this year when he pitches,

179
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 6: and even there's a toll the next day, he's sitting

180
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: under two hundred on the days that he pitches and

181
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 6: the day after he pitches. And I will say this,

182
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 6: I'm glad you brought that up because because in the

183
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 6: press conference he was starting to get annoyed with that

184
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 6: line of questioning. Three different reporters asked him in different

185
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 6: ways about whether or not pitching has affected his hitting,

186
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 6: and at one point he replied, and I've never heard

187
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 6: him reply in a press conference like this. He replied with,

188
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 6: that's the same question that I'll give you the same answer,

189
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 6: and that's where he ended it, a same answer. But

190
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 6: when I asked o'tani about it, I asked him whether

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 6: or not he has to change his mentality because he's

192
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 6: been very passive on the first pitch of at bats.

193
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 6: Does he have to think hit on the first pitch,

194
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 6: maybe be more aggressive on the first pitch of the

195
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 6: at bat. And he said he just has to do

196
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 6: a better job of swinging at strikes. He's swinging at

197
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 6: a lot of pitches that are not strikes.

198
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, Dave, I wanted to get your assessment really

199
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 7: on where this bullpen lies right now. We know Roki

200
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 7: had a little bit of you know, a little bit

201
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 7: of trouble there when he came in. Has that just

202
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 7: kind of gone past a what's kind of the lineup

203
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 7: of importance for guys that they could bring in, you know,

204
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 7: trying and is.

205
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: He back into in good shape now?

206
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 7: And just if they do need the bullpen, what's kind

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 7: of like the hierarchy if you had to say.

208
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 6: Well, Roki as far as coming in to get the

209
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 6: last three outs or maybe even six outs, is still

210
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 6: very much in play tonight and the rest of the postseason.

211
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 8: Steve.

212
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 6: The Dodgers are not abandoning him after one marginal night.

213
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 6: And the thing that maybe was concerning to the Dodgers,

214
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 6: and I believe I saw Roki getting back to work

215
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 6: on yesterday, was getting his mechanics back in line, because

216
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: his fastball velocity started to dip from one hundred down

217
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 6: to ninety seven during that ninth inning in Game one,

218
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 6: and his fastball is very straight. He needs close to

219
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 6: one hundred miles an hour for hitters to miss it,

220
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 6: and the hire was squeezing in the ninth inning a

221
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 6: little bit, so he wasn't getting those strikes on the margins,

222
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 6: So those things I think played into him not being

223
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 6: able to get all three outs. I saw Blake training yesterday.

224
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 6: I talked to Blake training yesterday, and as you know,

225
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 6: there's different peaks and valleys in a season, and there's

226
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 6: peaks and valleys of confidence for relief pitchers especially, and

227
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: talking to him yesterday, it feels like his confidence is

228
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 6: as high as I have seen it all year long,

229
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 6: and going into that final weekend in Seattle talking to

230
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 6: him there, his demeanor, his spirit very high. So I

231
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 6: feel like Blake Trenon's in a great place. And Alex

232
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: Vesia is going to join us on the pregame show today.

233
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 6: He's in a great place obviously, and is just waiting

234
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 6: for the starters to give the relievers an opportunity.

235
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 5: Dave, I want to switch gears just real quick. We

236
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 5: brought it up earlier. It was announced late in our

237
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: show yesterday the Rawlings Gold Glove finalists for the American

238
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 5: League and National League, and the Dodgers have two finalists,

239
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 5: Mookie Betts's shortstop in Miguil Rojas's utility player.

240
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: That's great for both those guys. We hope they win

241
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: the Award.

242
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: I think it's a flat out crime that Freddie Freeman

243
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 5: is not one of three finalists. Matt Olson great first baseman,

244
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: Bryce Harper certainly really good at first base. I don't

245
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: know much about Spencer Steer defensively at first base for

246
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 5: the Reds. But you're telling me the coaches and managers

247
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 5: who make up seventy five percent of the voting for this,

248
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 5: and twenty five percent is all the analytics and numbers

249
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 5: that are put into a computer. With all that being said,

250
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 5: they can't recognize what Freddie Freeman means defensively for the

251
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 5: world champion Los Angeles Dodgers and all the plays he makes.

252
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 2: It's a freaking crime.

253
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 6: David, Yeah, I'm with you, And I was actually talking

254
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 6: to Miguil Rojas about this yesterday because he's going up

255
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 6: against two guys that in the utility category don't even

256
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 6: hold his gloves. They're good, but they're in small markets

257
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 6: once from the Marlins. I'm a little surprised that more

258
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 6: coaches don't take into account how difficult it is to

259
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 6: play for the Dodgers and the expectations compared to playing

260
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 6: for the Marlins. So I'm hoping that both Miguel Rojas

261
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 6: and Mookie Bets win the Goal Glove because it's different

262
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 6: playing for the Dodgers.

263
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: But you're right.

264
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 6: The reason why Mookie Bets is even considered a good

265
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 6: shortstop this year a lot of it has to do

266
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 6: with Freddie Freeman and him making it look so easy

267
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 6: over there at first base. And my understanding, Tim, is

268
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,359
Speaker 6: the way the voting is made up is the coaches

269
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 6: make up sixty percent of the vote, and then forty

270
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 6: percent is some computer formula that nobody can even tell

271
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 6: you what the formula recognizes. And my understanding is the

272
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 6: Dodgers metrics, which is pretty damn good as far as

273
00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 6: positioning people, is completely different than what is being calculated

274
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 6: for the Gold Glove by Rawlings. So it's definitely an

275
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 6: inexact science and it's unfortunate that they have put forty

276
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 6: percent of the vote on some computer formula that's not

277
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: even exact. But I'm with you. Freddie Freeman is one

278
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 6: of the most underappreciated defensive first baseman in all of baseball,

279
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 6: and trust me, he's much better than Bryce Harper at

280
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 6: the very least.

281
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know people are thinking about this, Dave, and

282
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 7: they're saying what the formula, you know, as I said.

283
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 6: Just exactly a computer program. Yes, maybe got GBT that

284
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 6: decides Steve are.

285
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 7: Here, Dave a quick one for me here, Andy Pajas

286
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 7: looks a little hitterish to me. I see some foul

287
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 7: balls he's hitting all then all of a sudden, he

288
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 7: rifles one down the right field line. Nice bunt to

289
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 7: Love the sacrifice, Love the well roundedness that we're starting

290
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 7: to see a little bit from him. I mean, what

291
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 7: if we had like a mini surprise and Andy pie

292
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 7: has really caught fire twenty seven jacks during the year.

293
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 7: I mean, what if he caught fire and you know,

294
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 7: was an unexpected guy that just suddenly found it, felt

295
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 7: comfortable and started to go off. I mean, this is

296
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 7: a possibility.

297
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, And he looked good in game two and who knows,

298
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 6: you know, he was struggling through the first three games

299
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 6: of the NLDS and then all of a sudden, you know,

300
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: he has that squibber that we all know went the Dodgers' way.

301
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 6: Things like that, as you know, can change a season,

302
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 6: can change our postseason. And he just seems more relaxed

303
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 6: in the last two games. So the first two games

304
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 6: of this series. And I think where he's hitting in

305
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 6: the order is different as well, not as much pressure there.

306
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 6: He understands his role hitting eight or ninth in the order.

307
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 6: So yeah, I definitely think he's in a really good

308
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 6: spot to help the Dodgers. Yeah, not only offensively, but defensively.

309
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 6: Dino Ebel, who's coaching up the outfits this year, has

310
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 6: been a great mentor to him, along with Teoscar Hernandez.

311
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 6: So he has the right guys in his ear and

312
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 6: it's starting to pay off. And I feel like you're

313
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 6: seeing him not trying to do too much. And like

314
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 6: you talked about earlier, if Jose Cantana is the starter

315
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 6: and he's going through that Dodger lineup, there's nowhere to

316
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: take a breath. And Andy pater has hitting ninth. Maybe

317
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 6: he's the guy that ambushes Kintana tonight for a big hit.

318
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: We'll find out, David Gray stuff. We'll see out the

319
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,680

369
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: you doing today, Mike.

370
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 10: Ah doing great? Guys, Thanks real excited. But we aren't done.

371
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 10: I just want to say that we think we've won this,

372
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 10: we are far from that. So that's my first thing

373
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 10: I really want to ask you about. Mostly the sases,

374
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 10: you know, and this has gone over the last eight

375
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 10: or ten years with Dave Roberts there, and I'm not

376
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 10: blaming Dave Roberts, so let's get off that. What I

377
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 10: want to ask is when you see a player like

378
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 10: Otani or Pa Hayes, and over the years when we

379
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 10: had Cody on there and Balango and those guys where

380
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 10: they were going one for thirty, one for forty, do

381
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 10: coaches walk up the players and say, hey, your swing

382
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 10: is off, let's put you in the cage. You know,

383
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 10: Pete Rose, I've watched him one of our greatest hitters ever.

384
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 10: He hit Pepper all the way up. I've seen interviews

385
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 10: where he hit Pepper all the way up before games

386
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 10: looking at the ball, and it's so obvious when you

387
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 10: see Otani, he's pulling his head and he's not looking

388
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 10: at the ball and Pa Hayes has got a scoop

389
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 10: going in his swing. So help me out with this

390
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 10: and fans and we talk about it. Do the coaches

391
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 10: come up and say this to professional players today and say, hey,

392
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 10: let's put you in the cage, let's do some feedback,

393
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 10: let's do some coaching. I'm glad to hear Otani was

394
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 10: out there yesterday. It's frustrating, as you know how good

395
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 10: these guys are, but it looks like they're not being coached.

396
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 10: And maybe it's a perception.

397
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: But help us out. What is what?

398
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 6: How does it work?

399
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: How does it work in the in the in the

400
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: league these days?

401
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, thanks for the call.

402
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 7: And I just want to tell you right right out

403
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 7: of the gate that nobody is caring more about the

404
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 7: lack of production than the guys that you're mentioning, whether

405
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 7: it's Otani or anybody else. They go to bed with it,

406
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 7: they wake up with it, they're at the breakfast table

407
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 7: with it. This is constantly. This is what they do.

408
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 7: So believe me, they are on it. They're all over it.

409
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 7: As far as the pepper game you mentioned. I agree

410
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 7: with you one hundred percent. I love that game of Pepper.

411
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 7: I think it can make a huge difference in batting

412
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 7: averages today. It's just about having some dexterity with the bat.

413
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 7: Choking up one inch on the bat is not going

414
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 7: to hurt anything. But you'd be amazed at how much

415
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 7: better you can handle a baseball bat by just choking

416
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 7: up like a half inch or one inch on the back.

417
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 7: So things like that make a difference. But it's a

418
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 7: different game today. Baseball is completely different. Most of the time.

419
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 7: They don't even take batting practice on the field, which

420
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 7: is another thing I don't like, but that's the way

421
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 7: they do it, and that's what we're dealing with.

422
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: They dissect they analyze these guys swings like you have

423
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 5: never seen before in baseball. So they are working with

424
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 5: these hitters. Maybe it's overload sometimes for some of these hitters.

425
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 5: In the case of Andy Pajz, you do everything you

426
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 5: can mechanically, and then in the order they've dropped them

427
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 5: all who way down to the nice pot. I mean,

428
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 5: I'm old enough to remember when this guy was batting

429
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 5: clean up earlier this year for the Dodgers, now they've

430
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 5: got him hitting in the ninth hole, just hoping he

431
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 5: gets some more fastball, some better pitches because he's got

432
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 5: shoe Aotani right behind them in the lineup. They've got Listen,

433
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 5: there's cameras set up throughout Dodger Stadium for hitting during

434
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: batting practice and early work. They analyze these guys swing paths,

435
00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 5: their mechanics, their bone structure, the breathing patterns. Everything is dissected.

436
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: So just when you think, oh, are they even working

437
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 5: with these guys, yes, yeah, they know everything about these guys.

438
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 5: Their heart rates, their heart rate during a batting practice session.

439
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, they they do a lot of stuff. Alex

440
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 5: in La, welcome to Saxon Kates and they am how

441
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: you doing, Alex good?

442
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 3: How are y'all good? Well, hey, I just want to

443
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: make a comment that'll last caller calling in about Otani

444
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: and the team not practicing and Robert stop having the

445
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: manufactured effort behind them. I mean, you guys nailed on

446
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 3: the tea right there. It's the postseason. Trust your players,

447
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: Let them do their thing they're up to to. Oh

448
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 3: so if Otani's slumping today, he's probably not going to

449
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 3: slump tomorrow. So trust your dudes that got you here

450
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 3: and go from there. Hey, Ali gets at unfair criticism

451
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 3: to be fair.

452
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, Alex, who else do you got, you know, backing

453
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 7: you up on what you're saying. Otani's slumping a little bit.

454
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 7: You got somebody else to replace him? Who else is

455
00:22:59,240 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 7: going to replace him?

456
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 6: Right?

457
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 9: Yes?

458
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: The best player in baseball. Let him figure it out.

459
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: He will, all right. Well, I think a little bit

460
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 3: irrational here.

461
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, No, Alex appreciated the fun.

462
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 2: Alex is right.

463
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 5: We mentioned in the first hour that the number that

464
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 5: only two other times in his career shoe Otani in

465
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 5: the big leagues. In his career, remember the second year

466
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 5: at the Dodgers, six years in Anaheim. In his career

467
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 5: in the big leagues, two other times he's had a

468
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,239
Speaker 5: stretch of six games where he has not produced like this.

469
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 5: Both times were with the Angels, one in twenty nineteen

470
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 5: and one in twenty twenty. This doesn't happen very often

471
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 5: for show. Hey, Otani, just the third time ever in

472
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 5: his career. He's going to get out of this. Yes,

473
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 5: And I think David Vasse talking about what he saw

474
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 5: yesterday in that BP session on the field and Dave said,

475
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 5: only the second time ever he has done that, and

476
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: the other time was right before free agency, where maybe

477
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 5: he was showing off a little bit, uh before coming

478
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 5: with the Dodgers. But only the second time that Dave

479
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 5: seen him take BP on the field, that says a lot.

480
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 7: Well, okay, you know, to not go down a rabbit hole,

481
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 7: but to say to me, it looks like Otani is

482
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 7: not flying out like he was before. When you see

483
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 7: him flying out like that, that's an easy one to say, Okay,

484
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 7: he's flying out.

485
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: Okay.

486
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, So that's just a matter of just being a

487
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 7: little over anxious. He did phase three of the nastiest

488
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 7: left handed pitchers that you're ever gonna face, back to

489
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 7: back to back. To me, when I saw him in

490
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 7: the last game, it looked like he was taking it,

491
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 7: you know, from the left hander who was the left

492
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 7: handed to throw at Ashby, and he was taking it

493
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 7: from him and he wasn't flying out. He got that fixed.

494
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 7: He did come up with a big hit and drove

495
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 7: in a run. And you just stick with Otani and

496
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 7: let him work it out, and he will. There's no

497
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 7: player in baseball that's gonna go through it and not

498
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 7: be humbled at some time. It's part of the game.

499
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 7: It's part of the deal. And he'll figure it out.

500
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's gonna figure it out. And when he does,

501
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 5: I mean, if the Dodgers can be any better than

502
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 5: they already are, it's scary. Somebody's gonna pay the offensive production.

503
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: Somebody will pay.

504
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: It is gonna get better. We're gonna get to your

505
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,240

Speaker 5: Great to hear from you, and no doubt special time

544
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 5: of the year when the Dodgers are in the postseason

545
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: brings up a lot of memories for people who are

546
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 5: with us or not with us that are Dodger fans

547
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 5: and and love seeing the success of the Dodgers and

548
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 5: brings up so many great memories of the Dodgers passed

549
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 5: and all the celebrations that LA has seen with the

550
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 5: Dodgers over the years, including nineteen eighty eight and our

551
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 5: own Steve Sacks who was throwing out the first pisch.

552
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 2: Today is the arm feeling? Okay?

553
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: I mean we're about about twenty minutes ago, maybe about

554
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 5: forty minutes ago, we were playing catch in the hall.

555
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 5: Now that your body's cool down a little bit, I

556
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 5: got the coat on right now. Okay, it's still chilly

557
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 5: in the saw you the coat. I didn't know if

558
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: it's because the arm's bothering you.

559
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 7: Well, this is the Kate's Cave. It's a little bit

560
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 7: chilly in here, Kate's Cave.

561
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 2: I mandate that. It's sixty eight degrees. I get that.

562
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: I get that.

563
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, you can hang out with bundled up in here. Well,

564
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 7: you could hang meet in this place and it would

565
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 7: still stay fresh. I mean it's just it's cold in here, folks,

566
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 7: believe me. But I got this coat that I'm wearing

567
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 7: right now. I've had this coat for like twenty years.

568
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 7: Nice and you know, I'm I'm kind of frugal. I

569
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 7: don't go out and spend a lot of money on

570
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 7: you know. But anyway, this coat, I love it. It's

571
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 7: like a blanket with buttons on it. And that's why

572
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 7: I wear all the time. I figured I'd come out

573
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 7: great in the Kate's Cave. Yes, so would. I'm glad

574
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 7: you brought it here.

575
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 11: It is.

576
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 5: I want to make it colder tomorrow for you in

577
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: this year. Yeah, let's hear from the Gay three starter

578
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 5: Tyler Glass.

579
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 2: Now.

580
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 5: When he met with the media, he's excited about being

581
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 5: on the bump today.

582
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 13: Sometimes I think it sounds cool and it's like kind

583
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 13: of magical, but I don't. I think it's kind of

584
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 13: like if you just go out and pitch well. I

585
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 13: think because we have a lot of good starting pitching.

586
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 13: I think because we have a lot of good hitting.

587
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 13: I think a lot of times like it will line

588
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 13: up all together at some points, and then sometimes in

589
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 13: season it won't. I feel like it was end a

590
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 13: season we started playing really good baseball, and then as

591
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 13: a postseason has started, we've all just kind of clicked

592
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 13: and like kind of gotten on a new level. The

593
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 13: vibes are really good in the clubhouse. Everyone's feeling great

594
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 13: and it's just a good time to get hot. Just

595
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 13: try to not do too much, not make it any

596
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 13: bigger than it needs to be, just game panning like

597
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 13: any normal start, and just let like the extra adrenaline

598
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 13: kind of have my stuff play up and not maybe

599
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 13: go into it trying to do two extra or too little.

600
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 14: It.

601
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 13: Just treat it like normal and I think it helped

602
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 13: me with my last start in Philly, and I'm feeling

603
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 13: good right now physically, so just kind of take it

604
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 13: like a normal start. I think he's just the ultimate competitor,

605
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 13: works really hard, has his own game plan. He's like

606
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 13: unique in his own sense. I think about how how

607
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 13: he attacks guys and how he goes about training and stuff.

608
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 13: I think I've heard from third parties people like even

609
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 13: when he plays video games, he's like, we gotta win.

610
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 13: Like he's very like he's always about winning. So and

611
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 13: he'll get mad on the video games too, like he's like,

612
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 13: you guys aren't playing together. We need to like to

613
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 13: step it up and stuff like that. I remember the

614
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 13: Rais guys would tell me that, and some guys are

615
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 13: the Dodgers tell me that as well. So I think

616
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 13: he's just kind of I think with a lot of

617
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 13: people who are good at or who are competing, you

618
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 13: kind of have it on all the time, and I

619
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 13: think he's one of those guys. I think just how

620
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 13: like strong we are together as a team, Like we

621
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 13: do so much stuff together playing Buster, I like everything

622
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 13: all together, and I think that's like I don't even

623
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 13: know who started doing that, but I think we've made

624
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 13: it like a point to just do everything together and

625
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 13: practice and planes and everything, so it's even like small

626
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 13: group stuff mcmigi or or Mookie, I don't know. I

627
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 13: think just that. I think that's what I noticed the

628
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 13: most last year and just how like it almost felt

629
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 13: like like Little League again in a way, like busting

630
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 13: the games together. And I know I have teams fly,

631
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 13: but we have like our own plane and it's just

632
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 13: a really really tight knit group. And I think last

633
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 13: year I saw how helpful that was, and I think

634
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 13: we're just running it back.

635
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 5: This year, and it's nice to be a part of

636
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 5: all right, there's Tyler Glassnell a couple of things. He

637
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 5: was just alluding to there at the end about how

638
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 5: October is different, certainly for this team because they are

639
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 5: asked to buy in for the month day.

640
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: Roberts says, hey.

641
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 5: Lock in, put all the family stuff, everything else to

642
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 5: the side. Lock in four weeks, and that's what this

643
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 5: group and what he's alluding to. He also talked about

644
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 5: Blake Snell. That's what he was referring to about the

645
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 5: video games and how competitive he is. He's talking about

646
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 5: Blake Snell, and I think I'm just kind of putting

647
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 5: two and two together here. The competitiveness of Blake Snell,

648
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 5: the work ethic of Blake Snell, and watching him work

649
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 5: out there on the mound and seeing what he does

650
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 5: off the field is starting to rub off a little bit. Yeah,

651
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,239
Speaker 5: And Yamamoto maybe he's taking that game a little bit

652
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 5: more to even the next level. I think for Tyler

653
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 5: Glass now, watching Blake Snell work as he does, it's

654
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 5: starting to click for Tyler Glass.

655
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 8: Yeah.

656
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 7: And that's why we were talking about the greatest examples

657
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 7: for people in those leadership kind of roles are are

658
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 7: guys that do it by example, not the lip service.

659
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter. People don't listen to that anyway, but

660
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 7: they want to watch what you do. You saw Blake

661
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 7: Snell during the game going over with the pitching coach prior.

662
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 7: He was going over the different hitters, the ones that

663
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 7: he was going to face that next inning. And you know,

664
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 7: this guy's a constantly looking for an edge, constantly looking

665
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 7: for more information that's going to make him better. And

666
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 7: when people see that and they know it works, and

667
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 7: look at the example he put out there. That was

668
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 7: one of the best games Tim I think I've ever

669
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 7: seen pitch. He was efficient, he was strike one, you know,

670
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 7: most of the ninety percent of the time, and he

671
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 7: just had great stuff to go with it. He attacked

672
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 7: his zone. He was hunting the hitters instead of the

673
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 7: other way around. And that's what people are going to follow.

674
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 5: All Right, We'll take a break, we'll come back final

675
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: sleeping the phone calls and a get Steve's keys to

00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 3: Can you hear me?

722
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, my first thing is Steve, I'm taking my medicine.

723
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 8: You told me the other day when I called and

724
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 8: said I don't want Yamamoto starting until he pitches in

725
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 8: Dodgers Stadium, and you told me he was going to

726
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,360
Speaker 8: be lights out. I was totally wrong, and and you

727
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 8: admonished me on the phone. And I deserved it then

728
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 8: and I deserve it now. So that that that being said,

729
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 8: that the last game Glassnow pitched it was Game four,

730
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 8: So I want the same good Dodger vibe right now.

731
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 8: I'm going to say Glassnow's going to start until Game

732
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 8: four just because it's ridiculous that what I said about Yamamoto.

733
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 8: I want you to give it to me again, and

734
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 8: then I want to call back tomorrow and say I

735
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 8: was wrong again. So I have a question for you,

736
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 8: Steve about Otani. You were a great butter when you played.

737
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 8: And I know it's I know it's different, but when

738
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 8: I used to play basketball a long time ago, if

739
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 8: I wasn't making shots, I try a bank shot, do

740
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 8: you think do you think show Hey maybe could try

741
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 8: to bunt, like does see the bunt actually get down?

742
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 8: That might give him confidence going into his next the

743
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 8: bat or is it my off there? And then I

744
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 8: have one other question for both of you guys. I'm

745
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 8: not sure how it works that you guys might know

746
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 8: when they compose the rosters for each for each series.

747
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 8: You know, I'm pretty sure Friedman has final say, But

748
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 8: do you guys think Roberts has a has a really

749
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 8: good say on who he wants on the team. And

750
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 8: if he does, I really want to commend him because

751
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 8: it must be really tough for him to look forward

752
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 8: to in thee and tell him he's not going to

753
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 8: be on any of the first three postseason rosters. It

754
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 8: reminds me of a football coach. It reminds me of

755
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 8: a football coach cutting someone. And Dave control a lot

756
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,240
Speaker 8: of and I've listen to them, and I really appreciate

757
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 8: you guy. Hammer on the hammer me on.

758
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: So I only have seven things to cover with Lee

759
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: right now. I'll try to get to it. You can

760
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: get through the first day, okay.

761
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 7: First of all, though, Tawny Button know they they you're

762
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 7: not going to limit a bunt for the chance to

763
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 7: him to hit a home run. Even being old school,

764
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 7: I know that I have my own ideas on how

765
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 7: to get out of slumpson whatnot, and I like Pepper,

766
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 7: I love that idea that we talked about earlier. But

767
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 7: Otani knows how to do it. He's been there and

768
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 7: done that. He's maybe the best player on the planet,

769
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 7: and he's going to figure it out. He's got to

770
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 7: hang with him, you know.

771
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: Okay.

772
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 7: The other thing is, as far as roster goes, Dave

773
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 7: roster Dave Roberts, I think he has a big say

774
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 7: on who he's going to have on the team. Andrew

775
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 7: Freeman probably got the last call, but I would say

776
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 7: that Dave Roberts has more than a fifty percent chance

777
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 7: of getting new he wants on the team. After all,

778
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 7: he's a manager, and I'm sure Friedman's going to defer

779
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 7: to what Dave wants. I think Dave probably has most

780
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 7: of the say about who's going to be on the team.

781
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: Imagine a president sitting around with his staff and all

782
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 5: these different secretaries that he's got on his cabinet.

783
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: It's sort of like that.

784
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 5: They're sitting around Andrew Freeman, Brandon Gomes, the GM, You've

785
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 5: got Mark Pryor, You've probably got Aaron Bates and robskin Boy,

786
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 5: the hitting coaches, Connor McGuinness sistant pitching coach. They're all

787
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 5: probably collectively brainstorming. This is how we think the twenty

788
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 5: six looks. You guys agree, What do you think we

789
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 5: sift here. Yeah, it's and ultimately Dave Roberts's got the.

790
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 2: Sign off, and the guys are smart to run the team.

791
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: They know.

792
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 7: Hey, I would always defer to my people, scouts, manager,

793
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 7: people on the field. They know the best, and they've

794
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 7: got to fringer to the poll. So Dave's got most

795
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 7: of the say.

796
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 5: I would say, Edgar Lamarado, you're next up on Saxon

797
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 5: Kate Anda and how you doing Edgar?

798
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 8: Hey?

00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 4: Good? Just real quick, guys, just want to say it's

800
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 4: great to see the team jeling at the right time.

801
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 4: That team, that super team that they were talking about

802
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 4: preseason is finally coming together with all the hells and everything.

803
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 4: So let's see the boys get greedy at home, close

804
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 4: it out at home, and Saxy. I'm looking forward to

805
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 4: seeing that four steamer right over the plate this afternoon.

806
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: All right, Dodgers, believe it. It's coming, it's coming, It's ready.

807
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,879

Speaker 2: they're not.

815
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 5: You know the thing they do about tiny hands. You

816
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 5: don't have that, believe me. This is a miniature glove

817
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 5: that you put on top of somebody's desk.

818
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

819
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 7: For those barking at me on social media, leave me alone.

00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 7: How the how did the rotation look on the fastball

Speaker 2: It was okay, Yeah, you got a little bit of

824
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: oofun there. Yeah.

00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 5: Well yeah, as you said that force here, I'm going up.

826
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: There, a little bit of mustard on it.

827
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 5: I mean, you were throwing it at me, and I

828
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 5: was like, I even send the video my easy Yeah yeah,

829
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 5: I mean I got this little toy glove here.

830
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, yeah, I understand. But I'm gonna I'm gonna

831
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 7: ump it up a little bit at the stadium though.

832
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 5: Abe and sherman O, because you're next up on Saxon

833
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 5: Kates and a am I do an Abe.

834
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 14: Good, don't stop him. I think what it's all about

835
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 14: is just ensuring that our picture is a consistent, ensuring

836
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 14: that we're not swinging for the fence is too much.

837
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 11: Uh.

838
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 14: And my one question for you is how well does

839
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 14: this team yell compared to the nineteen eighty eight squad.

840
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: Jill dozes, thanks a lot of appreciate question, Abe, good question.

841
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 7: I think this is a more talented team all around.

842
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 7: But you know, I think that it's all about how

843
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 7: you're playing at the particular time. And I think the

844
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 7: Dodgers are right where they want to be right now.

845
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 5: It's a team like the eighty eight team. A lot

846
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 5: of talent, knows their rules, and it's a collective group

847
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 5: that all gets along and respects each other. He's got

848
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 5: one goal in mind that has to win the championship.

849
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 5: You got last thirty seconds or so, Israel Rose mean,

850

Speaker 9: How you guys do it?

856
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 8: Oh?

Speaker 10: That'd be great, man.

860
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 2: We're working on it.

861
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 6: We're here.

862
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 9: Yeah.

863
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

864
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 9: So I just want to say that I think everyone's

865
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 9: sending the good buyes right now for Glasdow and I

866
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 9: think that's going to lead up to him having a

867
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 9: great game. Because our pitchers have been like superb and

868
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 9: I think that we're going to close it out tomorrow,

869
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 9: And I just wanted to, you know, kind of seeing

870
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 9: what your guys are taking now that Otani's getting pitch tomorrow.

871
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 9: You know how that's gonna go down in like Dodger history,

872
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 9: How like him having to close out game is going

873
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 9: to be, you know, compared to some of the greats.

874
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 5: It's gotta be fun to see him out there and

875
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 5: a potential close that game. But gotta take care of

876
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 5: business today in Game three. And that leaves us to

877
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: Steve's keys here for a Game three Dodger win first

878
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 5: pitch in three to eight. Steve, what do they gotta

879
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 5: do today to make sure they keep the Brewers at

880
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 5: bay and go up three oner in this series? Well,

881
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 5: first of all, Tim, I want to tell you what

882
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 5: I think they're going to do. Okay, so I think

883
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 5: they're gonna hit. Well, I think that you're going to

884
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 5: see the Dodger offense start to come alive.

885
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 2: We saw sparks of it in the last game, scoring

886
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 2: five runs.

887
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 7: But I think the real key to today's game, and

888
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 7: we'll know this very early, is you got to get

889
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 7: Glass now strike one. You gotta get him on a momentum.

890
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 7: If that happens, this guy can wipe this team out.

891
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 7: And if they're down three and zero and they got

892
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 7: to just staring down show, Hey o Tani, good luck

893
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 7: with that. I think Glasnow's got to be strike one.

894
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 7: I'm so proud of us. We went three hours without

895
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 7: even saying the S word today. Shadows. Oh no, we

896
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 7: didn't even say shadows. We said the other S word, scam. Scam.

897
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 5: Back at it tomorrow, six am to nine am. Get
