Inside 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:41.520 of nine innings nine of the fourteen hundred and fifty 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.240 eight played over the one hundred and sixty two regular 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:49.560 season games, nine innings inside the eighty one played in 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.440 the playoffs. It was a quick, quick reminder that whenever 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:59.120 Eric Carros would join us, whenever David Vassy would mock 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.720 the Brothers of Panic, the Bops, they were closer to it. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.600 People have mocked us, and yes it hasn't stopped us 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.880 over the years, No from actively stupid. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.560 We do what we do. They do what they do, 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.360 and I guess they know what it looks like inside 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:22.599 and out. And essentially they were telling us, hey, stop 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.560 bringing the fanness to work. Okay, guys, Sho Haotani has 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.479 been called, and had been called, the greatest player to 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.400 have ever put on a Major League Baseball uniform, unicorn, 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:40.559 a one of one, and enjoy it now, kids, because 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.360 as we're told, and now we will echo those sentiments, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.560 we will probably never see it again, unless, of course, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.560 Otani is birthing an era of two way players that 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.880 will not take no for an answer when they are 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:57.680 choosing which college they will attend and play, whether or 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.799 not they're going to sign a contract after being drafted 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:03.120 by MLB team like Hunter Green did, but the Cincinnati 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.640 Reads and they said, you're pitching. Maybe he would have 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.560 dug in were it ten years later post Otani and said, no, 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:14.120 I'm not pitching. I'm doing both. But even then you 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.280 hear it. You hear it from or when we're talking 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.360 with Major League Baseball players, and to a man, they 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:26.599 all say, what man Otani is doing is beyond explaining. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.400 So you said it was gonna be great, Matt, But 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.359 there was still a lot of residual dandruff from calling 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.760 it out as at bats from earlier in the week. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.640 So you know, there's a lot of people that didn't 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.440 hear your prediction on Friday where you said Otan is 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.159 gonna have the greatest game in the history of baseball, 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.599 and he did, and you were right, and you were right. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.640 But there were still people. You know, we're on the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.839 radio the whole week, and not everybody heard that one part. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.040 So people during it, I got a lot of Hey, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.760 you done, met Smith, you got both, he got a tie. 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.479 What thought his name out of his mom. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.720 It does not line up. It is beyond common sense 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.360 that someone can step on them on fire off six 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.880 plus innings, not just as an innings eater. He's an 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.359 innings eater. That's what you gotta think of. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.800 It's somebody that could give the Dodgers bullpens a relief. 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.200 Is not just a fifth starter, but six innings of 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.160 two hit, ten strikeout baseball against the team that had 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.360 the best record in the MLB this past season, a 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.400 team with a lineup that was described as average. Shows 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.160 that will wear you down, that will grind out at bats, 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.520 that will create traffic on the bases, all stars like 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.600 Christian Yelich and Jackson Churio, and that your fourth starter 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.560 would do that as already an outlier, but then to 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.560 have that same player go three for three with three 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.800 home runs, one of them one of the longest of 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.400 the stat cast era, nearly four hundred and seventy feet 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.480 out of the stadium altogether. Either of those players is 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:54.280 in line for the NLCSMVP after a sweep by the Dodgers. Instead, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.920 he removed all doubt, taking the trophy from a hitter 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.520 like Tommy Edmund taking the trophy for I'm a picture 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:05.400 like Blake Snell, by doing something similar to what each 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.000 of them had done throughout the course of the four 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.360 game series. And of course we don't need to retell 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.280 the story of Friday Night. We all saw it. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.520 Well, you said it was gonna happen before it even happened, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.000 Matt like like you were Karanak like you had the 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:23.040 big giant like boon jab and anity envelope to my head, 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.160 did jewel shone and glimmered in the sun? Had our 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.040 Vince gully sweet And you said Otana's gonna have the 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:31.520 greatest night in the history of the world. You know 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.320 that's not what everybody said. I mean, Carol, guys like 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.280 this and I think Latan's gonna shove. You know, they said. 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.600 Stuff like that I wish. I wish I were cool 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:40.679 enough to say something. 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.800 Like, yes, New Show, I wish I could hit a 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:43.800 double every time. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.840 We lived at p and as you detailed in the 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.679 top story last week, asking our listeners, where were you 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.360 in nineteen eighty eight when Gibbie hit the game one 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.880 walk off against the Ace? Where were you when Reggie 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.359 Bush was pushed over the goal line in South Bend. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.880 So hard in the stadium puland Washington right. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:08.200 So too, will the question be asked game four of 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:12.600 the twenty twenty five National League Championship Series?

I would rather just be sharing it with myself, 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.720 watching it on the telly, reliving the moment without any 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.600 alternate listen. They're looking at coming in on summer tour. 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.559 Can you uh, can you go get a plata nachos, 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.600 put some chili on it and offer them one, but 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.520 make sure you dip it in the sour cream first. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.800 Like that's that's essentially what's going on in that suite. 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.920 So for all of those wondering, and I guess we 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.320 could have walked the concourse trying to stolen, to steal 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:37.120 a seat somewhere. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.640 No, that's what Kate's does. Kate's walks the grounds like 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:42.760 until he feels at home. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.480 It was in the pavilion they were said, there was 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:45.280 a drum. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:45.960 Cuckoo, kachew. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.240 I'm a man amongst the people, that's what. That's right, 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.679 all the people you do laps, Kate's does laps around 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.720 Dodger Stadium. Are you there for all nine innings? Kates? 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.240 No, I left Matt after the first Otawani hole run. 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.319 I grabbed my backpack and I'm in a quick B 0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:58.800 line in. 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.520 My car, high tailed it out of there. And what 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.880 we have seen all postseason and again, Micro and Macro 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.320 in this one game. Is that stars matter, Andrew Friedman 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.880 told us on the field Friday. The right stars matter 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.920 when you combine the talent with the work ethic, with 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.120 the winning gene. And so many of these players had 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.920 it before they got here. That's why they got their 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.800 big hundreds of millions of dollars contracts. Sasaki Yamamoto Otani 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.120 from the WBC that Japan won by completely dominating the 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.720 rest of the world. Freddie Freeman MVP in a World 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.160 Series in Atlanta, Mookie Bets MVP and World Series in Boston, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.480 Blake Snell in Tampa, head to head with the Dodgers, 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.360 perhaps thwarting their twenty twenty World Series title had his 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.040 manager Kevin Cash left him in the game winning the 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.840 cy Young and San Diego. Those deals, yeah, they're gambles, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.840 but the risk was so mitigated by all the information 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:51.640 that was already available, and you end up putting together 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.960 what Andrew Friedman told us he had in front of him, 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.319 and that is the greatest player in the history of 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:01.080 the game eventually is going to come around. Freddie Freeman 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.320 and Mookie Bets for their struggles throughout the course of 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.640 the season, Yeah, they were a combined one for twenty 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.040 one in the three games in twenty twenty three. But whatever, 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.160 you get to your five World Series in nine years, 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.400 have a chance to win your third. Could argue should 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.240 be winning their fourth after the cheating scandal of. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.480 Wow seven time. But let's leave the pass in the past. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.560 Even with just two championships and we expect it to 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.200 be three. Yes, we are fortunate and blessed to be 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.320 in a city chearing for a team that has one 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.760 of the greatest dynasties, and eventually it very well could 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.080 go down as the greatest dynasty considering the monor era 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.880 and how hard it is to win consistently. 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.320 Of any Dodgers have never done it. The Dodgers have 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.120 never won back to back World Series. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.680 So and yet here we are. 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.360 Yet here we are with another opportunity. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.480 Eight and one. So you were right to ditch the 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.600 Serenity Brothers. I'm not saying we bring it back now. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.040 This is this is not what that is. What it 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:58.160 is is simply recognizing regular season could be weird, like 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.880 the playoffs can be weird, and maybe we just need 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.000 the Panic Brothers to continue to panic while the organization 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.600 does everything to try to disaster prove this roster and 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:08.520 win another world. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.400 Maybe hell of everything we say and do has nothing 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.880 to do with anything that happens on the field, Just maybe, 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.479 But I'm not ready to admit that yet. Patrick Sendmady 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.960 show continues. But the man, well, you know what he 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.800 does matters. Dave Roberts. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:31.920 Next, We've made it even easier to take LA Sports 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.480 with you this summer.

That'll be at seven pm. 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.280 It's a Monday night football double header, so we're taking 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.040 the late game.

It 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:20.880 will determine whether or not they start at home or 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.200 on the road. Seattle, they start at home, Toronto, they 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:24.160 will start on the road. 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.680 All right on your Southern California Toyota Dealers Celebrity Hotline. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:34.600 As the Dodgers continue to win, his legend grows, not 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.160 just for selling wine with the beautiful Red Stitch Vineyards, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:46.040 World Series winning manager and doing a great job and 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.600 challenging the Dodgers to be better and better every single 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.920 playoff series. It is Dave Roberts joining us from Chavez 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.800 Ravine and the Dodgers workout today. World Series starts on Friday, 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.440 and we don't know who they're gonna get, but we 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.880 do know that Dave Roberts will be pulling the levers 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.800 and doing this thing that excites the city so much. Dave, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.879 thanks so much for doing it. We appreciate you. How 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:08.639 are you feeling today? 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.159 I'm feeling good. Boys, getting ready on my way to 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.720 the ballpark right now. We got to work out today 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:21.919 and get to see some pitchers, some guys take batty practice. 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:26.320 We'll have that Game seven ALCS on at Dodger Stadium. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.280 But like you said, Petures. I'm excited for our city. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.680 Our city needs it, and our players are excited. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.720 It really is something special for the whole city. Everybody 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.720 talks about it in places that you could never imagine 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.840 them talking about baseball. But it is a uniting thing 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.399 for our city, like you said, Dave, and it's a 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.320 special thing. Do you like the five I mean, when 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.119 you have time off, no matter what, whether you like 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.600 it or not, do you feel good about filling it? 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.480 You know what I do feel? I do like the 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.720 way we're feeling it. I think I think it's sort 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.040 of we're kind of at a place where it doesn't 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:07.600 really matter what we prefer. I like the idea of 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.840 not giving yourself an out or an excuse, so regoose 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:15.639 of opponent. Whether we travel Wednesday or we're home on 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.000 you know, we stay back and wait for the Mariners 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.280 or whatever five days, keep going into a series. It 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:25.000 doesn't matter. As Yamamoto said, we should go. 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:29.080 Losing is not an option you you had a choice, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:30.760 You had a very you know, I would say, I 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.480 don't know if it was tough or easy. When it 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.199 comes to who you wanted to start Game one in 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.280 each of these series, you decided to go with Blake Snell. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.800 If it was Yamamoto, if it was Glass Novel, was Otani, 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.639 nobody would have you know, donea said anything about it, 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.520 just in terms of how you lined it up. What 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.439 was it that led you to make that decision of 0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:49.280 how you wanted to lay these starters out in that 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:50.200 particular order. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.840 I think if you look at the schedule of that 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.600 cs UH, Blake is a guy that we felt most 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.879 comfortable going on regular rest, which is four days off. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.320 Yamamoto we've done a week off. We've done you know, 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.399 five days off for the most part of rest. And 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.240 so if you're looking at a potential game series, obviously 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:15.320 you know six games is more the sixth game is 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.600 more like the fifth game is more likely than the 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.560 sixth game, and so you try to put your players 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.280 in the best position have success. So if there was 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.959 a fifth game, we felt better with Blake and as 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.520 opposed to Yamamota right there, and it kind of couldn't 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:30.520 have worked out any better. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.240 You go to the order, Dave, as Dave Roberts joins 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.880 us first game of the World Series will be Friday. 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.359 You will hear that at five eight pm. Opponent not 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.960 known yet Toronto or Seattle. But you go to the 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.720 lineup and here's Will Smith, who's who's dealing with a 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.560 fracture in a hand, not sure you know what series 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:49.760 is going to play in. But then we get to 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.880 the NLCS and man, it looked like Will Smith all 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:54.439 over again. Just kind of what is what is he 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.920 going through? Are you surprised by that performance at all? 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:59.920 And how hard is that? Because it feels like a 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.480 it's a very rhythm kind of position right hitting against 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.400 these pitchers who are so incredibly good, especially in the playoffs, 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:07.600 to be able to just kind of look like the 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.080 Will Smith we expected. 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:15.440 Not surprised. You know, he's got a he's got a 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:20.760 really slow heartbeat. Certainly he's not one hundred percent. And 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:23.480 I got to give Ben Rourtvett a lot of props 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.000 for kind of being the stop gap behind the plate 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.560 and he was fantastic, and uh but yeah, to have 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.040 you know, a three time All Star back behind the 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:33.680 plate to hit him in the middle of the order, 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.960 we've obviously makes us a lot better. And I just 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.000 can't say enough about Will and very uh, you know, 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.119 in my opinion, is still very underrated. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.480 We can't say enough about the Dodgers and what they're doing. 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.399 It's been fun on the station, it's been fun in town. 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.920 And the man in charge, Dave Roberts, a great ambassador 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:57.239 of baseball to the whole city, is our guest right now. Uh. 0:20:57.640 --> 0:20:59.920 I got to ask because I mean, I know, you 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.359 guys do a lot of things on purpose, but there's 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.640 got to be some luck involved as well. That all 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.359 four of these starters are up and running at this 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.040 point in the season, it had to be something you 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.280 guys had in mind all year. 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.920
