I'm in here on an off day 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: until eight o'clock after the Dodgers clinch the nlds and 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: Fred and Rodney are at home. Jonas and Danischek are 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: in for Petros and money. But here I am here. 21 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: I am not on a flight to Philadelphia on my birthday, 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: hosting Dodger Talk until eight o'clock. That's how much I 23 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: love the Dodgers. That's how much I want to talk 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: about them going to the NLCS, and certainly I am 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: very happy the Dodgers are not headed to Philadelphia for 26 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: a number of different reasons. Yes, number one, it's my 27 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: birthday and I want to enjoy it, and I did 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: enjoy it with my family, and I'm going to enjoy 29 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: tomorrow as well. But more importantly, I told you I 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: wasn't packing the Dodgers were not going back to Philadelphia, 31 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: and I know it was a lot closer last night 32 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: than a lot of you would have liked. I know, 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: seeing Andrew Freeman and Stan Casten in the celebration yesterday, 34 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: they were as relieved and trying to decompress from the 35 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: high tension late in that game. But certainly a lot 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: of relief and excitement amongst everybody at Dodgers Stadium last 37 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: night when Oriyan Keckering threw the ball away in a 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: weird situation. We'll get to that in a moment, because 39 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: there's a few things last night on postgame Dodger Talk. 40 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: In the moment of celebration, we're trying to celebrate the 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: Dodgers advancing to the NLCS, so we do have time 42 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: to unpack certain key moments but in a clinch situation 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: like last night, you don't really have a chance to 44 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: see all the angles, and you really want to celebrate 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: the fact that the Dodgers beat a really good Phillies 46 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: team and may have beat the toughest opponent that they 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: are going to see in this year's playoffs. I don't 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: subscribe to that necessarily. I know a lot of other 49 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: people around baseball that I spoke to before the series 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: believed whoever was going to win this series was going 51 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: to win the World Series. I'm a firm believer in 52 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I have been, even when they may have 53 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: hit rock bottom in September or August. I believed in 54 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: the talent. I believe they would be able to reconstruct 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: their bullpen to be able to be more effective than 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: what it was during the regular season. And without Roki Sasaki, 57 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: obviously none of this is happening. I'm having a post 58 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: mortem Dodger talk tonight instead of a celebratory Dodger talk. 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: With the Dodgers headed to the NLCS, We're gonna replay 60 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: relibs some of the celebration interviews from last night. In 61 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: case you don't know who the Dodgers are playing in 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: the NLCS. Neither do we, because Game five between the 63 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: Brewers and Cubs is tomorrow. The winner of that will 64 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: play the Dodgers on Monday, either at Dodgers Stadium or 65 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. That's right. The Dodgers have home field advantage 66 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: against the Cubs. They do not have home field advantage 67 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: against the team with the best record in the National 68 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: League in the Milwaukee Brewers. So that's what's at steak 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: Cubs versus Brewers, the opportunity for them to have a rematch. 70 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: Both teams have lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS 71 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: in previous years. The Cubs beat the Dodgers on their 72 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: way to their only World Series title in the last 73 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: one hundred plus years back in twenty sixteen. The Dodgers 74 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: beat the Cubs the very next year, Game five in 75 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: Wrigley Field. Keyk Hernandez became October keyk with three home 76 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: runs in Game five of the twenty seventeen NLCS at 77 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, And of course twenty eighteen, the Dodgers beating 78 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: the Brewers in a seven game series, beating Milwaukee in 79 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: Milwaukee for Game seven to advance to the World Series 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: that year, and they played the Red Sox. Eight six six, 81 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. 82 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: Before we get to Oryan Keckering and how that went sideways, 83 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: Let's talk about another key moment in last night's game, 84 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: and that was the chess match between Dave Roberts and 85 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Rob tom. Rob Thompson, the Phillies manager, last night, made 86 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: a controversial decision no not to bring in uh Orian 87 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: Keckering in the eleventh inning, but with his best reliever 88 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: on the mound in the seventh inning, holding on to 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: a one nothing lead and first base open, with runners 90 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: at second and third and two outs, he opted to 91 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: walk sho Hey O'tani to face Mookie Betts. Here's why 92 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: that was a huge gift from the Phillies manager. First 93 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: and foremost, he's your best reliever, and we all know 94 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: about otani struggles. But did Rob Thompson realize that Joan 95 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: Duran this season was much better against left handed hitters 96 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: than he was against right handed hitters. You wouldn't expect 97 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: that right a right handed, heart throwing reliever better against 98 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: lefties than righty's. That's part of the reason why the 99 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: Dodgers were not going to mortgage the farm system to 100 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: acquire Duran. Duran this year against left handed hitters limited 101 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: them to a one sixty eight batting average, and lefties 102 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: only hit one home run against Duran. Right handed hitters 103 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: hit two seventy eight with a one thousand ops against 104 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: Duran this year. Not to mention, Otani struggling, and Mookie 105 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: Betts is locked in and has been locked in for 106 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: the better part of a month. That was a huge 107 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: gamble and it backfired. Mookie Bets, not chasing because he's 108 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: locked in, takes the bases loaded walk to tie the game. 109 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: And here we go into the eleventh inning, and here 110 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: is the way. The eleventh inning, the final play sounded 111 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson on the call. 112 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: The old one pitch. Patz grounds it back to Kirkery. 113 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: He can't find it. 114 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 4: He ten scores and the Dodgers are going to the 115 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: Championship Series. 116 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: All right, Ryan Keckering, We'll have to live with that 117 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: the rest of his life, similar to Bill Buckner having 118 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: to live the rest of his life after booting the 119 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: ball or letting the ball go between his legs in 120 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: the eighty six World Series against the Mets, Orian Keckering 121 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: is going to see that replay the rest of his life, 122 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: and he's going to see it a lot in his 123 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: own mind during the off season. But like I mentioned 124 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, last night was a 125 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: celebration of the Dodgers advancing to the NLCS and obviously 126 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: putting the ball in play by Andy Pa has forced 127 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Oriyan Keckering to make a play which he couldn't. But 128 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: here's a couple of issues I had on the Dodgers 129 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: side that they got away with. Number One, where was 130 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: Sho Hao Tani. Sho Hao Tani was worried about shoe 131 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: Ha Otani getting out of his own slump and coming 132 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: to the plate next against Orion Keckering. When the ball 133 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: is put into play and you have a runner at 134 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: third base with two outs, he's coming home automatically. Otani 135 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: should be sprinting to the other side to the right 136 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: handed batters or excuse me, left handed batter's box vision. 137 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: Otani needed to be there to coach up Kim to slide. 138 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: Kim came to home plate standing up, and did you know, 139 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: looking at the replay this morning, hay Sung Kim never 140 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: stepped on home plate. Initially, he had to go back 141 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: to home plate and step on home plate. I mean, 142 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: this is baseball one oh one. You have to slide 143 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: at home plate. Standing up at home plate is never 144 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: a good idea because if Rio Mudo makes an incredible 145 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: stretch and catch, you're an easier target for him to 146 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: tag out instead of you being down sliding past him. 147 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: Otani needed to be there, Kim needed to have the 148 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: baseball instincts to slide at home plate. I would love 149 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: to see it feed first because at home plate a 150 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: lot of things can happen. You could get your handstepped on. 151 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: But that was a major, major miscalculation by both Kim 152 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: and Otani. So I wanted to bring that up and JT. 153 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: Real Mudo was pointing to first base. Keckering did not 154 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: realize in his panic after he did not feel the 155 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: ball cleanly how many outs there was, and it was 156 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: Pa has running and Pa Haz said after the game, 157 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: I looked back and when he didn't feel the ball, 158 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: I kept running and running harder. So keep that in 159 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: mind the little things of baseball. Baseball is not just 160 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: about throwing one hundred miles an hour and getting the 161 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: maximum spin rate on your pitches. That's what makes Clayton 162 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: Kershaw so special. When he pitches, he's a pitcher. When 163 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: he releases the ball, he becomes an infielder. That's what 164 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: separates the great ones from the Orion keckerings. Frankly, but 165 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: go back and watch that the replay. Kim did not 166 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: step on home plate and Otani was nowhere to be 167 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: found to direct traffic. That's got a change, and if 168 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm Dave Roberts, it's a teaching experience, even to the 169 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: great Otani. When we continue on Dodger Talk, we will 170 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: hear from Teoscar Hernandez. We will hear from Roki Sasaki, 171 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: who arguably was the most valuable pitcher for the Dodgers 172 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: in the NLDS and who had the best start in 173 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: the NLDS. Don't just think about the games at Dodger Stadium. 174 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: Glass now is phenomenal, but Blake Snell, in a hostile environment, 175 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: had the best and gutsiest start of any Dodger in 176 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: the NLDS. So you'll hear from all those guys, plus 177 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman and Keik Hernandez. A lot to get to 178 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: between now and eight o'clock right here on five seventy 179 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: LA Sports you're home for the defending World Series champion Dodgers, 180 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: AM five to seventy LA Sports. It was a big 181 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: time achievement for the Dodgers to be able to beat 182 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: that Phillies pitching staff. This was a series of pitching 183 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: and defense. The teams that made mistakes in these four 184 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: games lost. The Dodgers made big mistakes in Game three, 185 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: they lost big time, eight to two. In Game two 186 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, the Dodgers were able to overcome some poor 187 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: defense to hold on for a four to three win 188 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: and steal the first two games in Philadelphia. And I 189 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: really do believe this when you see a game and 190 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: the way it ended last night. To end a series 191 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: in such an unorthodox type of way where O'Ryan Keckering 192 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: throws the ball away with two outs instead of just 193 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: going to first base, you forget about some of the 194 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: players and some of the moments that took place in 195 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: the previous three games of the series. You only think 196 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: about that game. And for me, there's a couple of 197 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: certain players and certain moments that I really wanted to 198 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: point out. I know a lot of people only talk 199 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: about keyk Hernandez when it comes to October and rightfully, 200 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: so we'll hear from Key k in a moment. But 201 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a few of those type of players. 202 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: Who was the best hitter last year in the World Series, 203 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: It was Freddie Freeman that carried the Dodgers. Tommy Edmund 204 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: was the NLCS MVP. Tommy Edmund was a top five 205 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: player in this series that nobody talks about. And tae 206 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez to me, had the single biggest home run 207 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: in this NLDS and it happened in the very first game, 208 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: and it changed the series completely. In the seventh inning 209 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: of Game one, with the Dodgers being shut down basically 210 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: by Christopher Sanchez, they bring in Matt Strom. Matt Strom, 211 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: who is one of the most ordinary lefty relievers out there, 212 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: left a pitch for Taoscar Hernandez to hammer to right 213 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: field and that completely silenced the crowd in hostile Philadelphia 214 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: at the Bank. If ta Oscar Hernandez doesn't hit that 215 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: go ahead three run home run, I'm not sure the 216 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: Dodgers win this series either. And I had a chance 217 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: to catch up with another October Hernandez, the one and 218 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: only ta Oscar. 219 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 5: All right, we are here at Taoskar Hernandez. Before we 220 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 5: talk about anything else, let me touch the goatee again. 221 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: Let's go ta Oscar. You were so big from the 222 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: first game into the last game.

It's somebody that's turn. 237 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: Out. 238 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: They love you, Your teammates love you. 239 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: I love them too. 240 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 5: How excited are you to move on to the LCS again? 241 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 5: This is why we play this and you know, uh, 242 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 5: exciting game today and god we got to win. 243 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: So h now fucus in the next row. I love 244 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: that you let people see your eyes. You have it, burn, 245 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's go thought you Hey, don't. 246 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: You can't spell tale, you can't spell October without tail here. 247 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: You heard him? There is Taoscar Hernandez, who hit the 248 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: biggest home run in this series for the Dodgers, and 249 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: that came in Game one in the seventh inning off 250 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: of Matt Strom to give the Dodgers the lead and 251 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: seriously put big time doubt in the Phillies mind that 252 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: you know what, they aren't the best team in this series. 253 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: The Dodgers have more firepower up and down their lineup 254 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: than what the Phillies had. And Taoscar Hernandez, I know 255 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: at times you questioned the effort or you wish he 256 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: could play better right field. This is the player that 257 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: he is. He plays the game with a lot of joy. 258 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: He did go first to third, he did run the 259 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: bases hard in this series. Uh, he's a guy that 260 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: can change a game and a series in this case 261 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: with one swing. I mentioned this after the game, ta 262 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez, al right, I just defined it. He had 263 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: the biggest home run of this series. Who would have 264 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: said before the NLDS Dodgers Phillies that Roki Sasaki would 265 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: be the best Japanese player on the Dodgers in this 266 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: series against Philadelphia. All of you would have picked Otani. 267 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: The other half of you are the last five percent 268 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: would have said Yamamoto. It turned out to be Roki Sasaki, 269 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: who pitched in four these games or three of the 270 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: four of these games and four and a third innings, 271 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: allowed just one hit, including last night where he pitched 272 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: three perfect innings for the Dodgers, and in the postseason 273 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: going back to the Red Series, Sasaki has pitched in 274 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: four of the six games the Dodgers have played, two saves, 275 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: three strikeouts, has not walked a single batter, but specifically 276 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: in this series, comes in to rescue the Dodgers in 277 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 1: a Game two win that was looking a little doubtful 278 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: until they brought him in and was able to get 279 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 1: Trey Turner to end Game two and go back to 280 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: LA with a two games to nothing lead. And then 281 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: last night, as it was tied one to one, neither 282 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: team could get a hit or a run off the 283 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: other team's pitchers, they go to Roki Sasaki. Roki Sasaki 284 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: against Hezus Lozardo, and Sasaki out pitched Lozardo because he 285 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 1: pitched three perfect innings. Without Sasaki, the Dodgers don't win 286 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: this series. Without Sasaki, the Dodgers don't have as much 287 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: optimism to be able to run the table this year 288 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: and win a back to back World Series championship. Coming 289 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: into the postseason, that was the biggest question, who is 290 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: getting the last three outs? Well, I feel like we 291 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: have the name. We had the answer, and it's resounding. 292 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 1: It's Rokey Sasaki. Roki, What a night for you? What 293 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: a postseason for you? What does it mean to you 294 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: to be such a big contributor tonight and in this series? 295 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: Post the season sols them off. It's like muzzle must 296 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 3: see home. 297 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: Well, it's been the ball Monks' a little mother.

There they were Will Ireton 319 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: and Roki Sasaki. Sasaki and maybe Tyler Glass Now were 320 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: the two most doubted pitchers coming into this series. I 321 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: wasn't doubting, but I know there were still some doubters. Okay, Yeah, 322 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: Susaki did it in Arizona. He did it in Seattle 323 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: when it didn't matter the reds. Okay, yeah, he got 324 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: one hitter Trey Turner in Game two. Really you still 325 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 1: weren't buying after that? I feel like now there are 326 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: no doubts. Three perfect innings to get the ball to 327 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: Alex Vesia, who we I know is a bullpen dog 328 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: and a huge part of the Dodgers' bullpen. We've seen 329 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 1: him in all but one game in this postseason. Alex 330 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: Vesia gets the win last night. Like I said, Roki 331 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: Sasaki one of two Dodger pitchers that were the most doubted. 332 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: The other Tyler Glass Now, who thought he would be 333 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: able to come in last night, make his first start 334 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: of the postseason, first postseason start as a Dodger, and 335 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: pitch six scoreless innings and have nine strikeouts eight eight 336 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: or nine strikeouts last night. Nobody, nobody was expecting that, 337 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: and I would venture to say that Tyler Glass Now 338 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: may not have even known that he had that in him. 339 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: Tyler Glass Now last night eight strikeouts and six scoreless innings, 340 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: allowed just two walks. He was a guy that a 341 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: lot of people doubted because you weren't sure if you 342 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: could trust him. In Philadelphia earlier this year, the man 343 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: was wet, he melted down. But Dave Roberts was constantly 344 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: in his ear after he came off the eel and 345 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: challenged him to be more of a competitor. Here was 346 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: Tyler Glass Now. He was the first guy I grabbed 347 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: on the field because he deserved a lot of the credit, 348 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: because a lot of people doubted whether or not he 349 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: could deliver on such a big stage. Yesterday. 350 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 5: What a start for Tyler Glass Now, the postseason start 351 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 5: of his life. How did it feel to go out 352 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 5: there and be such a big contributor? 353 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 3: Fuck great? 354 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 7: It was a little shaky at first, but then just 355 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 7: got out there gotting some rhythm, and my stuff felt 356 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 7: great the whole night. 357 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 5: It felt like after the first inning you really did 358 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 5: get into some sort of rhythm. 359 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 1: Were you and Will clicking after that? 360 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, I think we're on the same page. 361 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 7: A lot of good pitch calling, a lot of really 362 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 7: good defense, had some pretty hard hit balls, some great plays, 363 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 7: and we just we got a rolling after that. 364 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 5: Tyler, at this time last year you were not part 365 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 5: of the playoffs. How does this feel in your own 366 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: backyard to be such a big part of the Dodgers 367 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 5: going to the NLCS. 368 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 3: It's incredible. 369 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: I mean it's what every kid dreams of and I 370 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: got to live it. 371 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: And it's just to be out. 372 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 7: On the field and watch everyone participate and do such 373 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 7: a good job. 374 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: Now we're here, go to the next round. It's incredible. 375 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: You're like the keik pitchers, reliever and starter. Yeah, who knows, 376 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll do whatever you want. Let's do it. Congratulations, 377 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: Thank you, Bro, appreciate it. 378 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,479 Speaker 3: Thank you. 379 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: There he goes Tyler Glass. Now he relieved in Game one, 380 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: and he pitched six scoreless innings last night as the 381 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: Dodgers go to the NLCS. He matched Christopher Sanchez. Pitch 382 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: for pitch he was. He was outstanding. And look, I'll 383 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: say it, I doubted whether or not, actually I didn't doubt. 384 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: I just didn't know what the Dodgers were going to get. 385 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: And I feel like even Dave Roberts didn't know. You 386 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: just didn't know what you were going to get from 387 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: Glass now and from here on out, he should have 388 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: the self confidence to never look back and realize that 389 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: he can do it on this stage and certainly proved 390 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: that he could help the Dodgers win the World Series. 391 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: Really rewarding for Tyler Glass. Now Sasaki and Glass now 392 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: two of the most doubted pitchers on this staff, and 393 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: maybe the most underappreciated two time Cy Young Award winner, 394 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: Blake Snell. I'm handing him the award for having the 395 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: gutsiest pitching performance of this series going into Philadelphia and 396 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: keeping that Philly crowd down when they were winning to 397 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: erupt for anything, and he never allowed it to happen 398 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: in his start in Philly when he went six scoreless 399 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: innings as well. He was absolutely dominant in Game two 400 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: of this series. Another example of how we forget what 401 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: takes place earlier in the series. When you're in the 402 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: euphoria of a game like last night, Blake Snell six 403 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: scoreless innings, allowed just one measily hit, and had nine 404 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: strikeouts to help the Dodgers beat the Phillies in Philadelphia 405 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: and have a two games to nothing lead. 406 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 5: Hello, we're here with Blake's now will have pitched an 407 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 5: incredible game two in this series? Blake, what does it 408 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 5: mean to be part of this group? You guys took 409 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 5: a picture together, all the starters. You guys carry the 410 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 5: weight in this series. Yes, special, it's special, this group, 411 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 5: the starters. We all care about each other, we love 412 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 5: each other, and we want to accomplish something together. And 413 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 5: then I can't say no about the team and just 414 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 5: everyone just pushing each other, loving on each other, making 415 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 5: sure we can find. 416 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: A way to win. That's a that's a good vaut 417 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: it and Philly is really good. 418 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 5: So for us to get the win and win this 419 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 5: series as huge. When you're able to do what you 420 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 5: guys did as a group, is it more special. 421 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: Than just being one guy? Say that again? Almost gotten? 422 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, we saw we got a sniper over here to 423 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 5: be able to pitch your game but also have everybody 424 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 5: else pitch as well as they did. Does it make 425 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 5: it more special to do it as a group, Yeah, it's. 426 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: The group's the most important thing for us to come together. 427 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 5: And when this series as a group is everything and 428 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 5: the starters to get innings, I mean, that's that's the 429 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 5: number one thing that we can get innings. And I'll 430 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 5: pitch their starters. We're gonna we're gonna be in a 431 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 5: really good position. So if he did that, he ended 432 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 5: up win this series. He's a really good team. Before 433 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 5: I'll let you go, I thought they said you cann't 434 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 5: pitch on the big stage. 435 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: I thought you cann't pitch in the big cities. 436 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 5: Well you got more you know. I've got more time 437 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 5: to figure that out if it's true or not. But 438 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 5: I'm ready to go, and I'm excited about it. 439 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: Love it. 440 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 5: Congratulations, I'm happy again this celebration with these. 441 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: Group of guys. I said, me too. At Goch's looking nice. Yeah, 442 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: there he is Blake Snell. And got a call from Snell. 443 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: He actually facetimed me while I was in the supermarket 444 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: this morning, but he was looking dressed and fresh. I 445 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: was expecting he was gonna call me, you know, in 446 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: his pajamas, but he was dressed and ready to go 447 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: at nine am. So he's turning into an adult in 448 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: some ways, but certainly a guy, an adult and a 449 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: man on the mound. He is going to be huge 450 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. And we'll get into the Dodgers pitching 451 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: plans for the NLCS when we continue on Dodger Talk. 452 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: And also we'll hear from Freddie Freeman and Keith a Hernandez. 453 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: They were big parts of this Dodger four game win 454 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: over the Phillies in the NLDS. The Dodgers are headed 455 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: to the NLCS. They're playing either the Brewers or Cubs 456 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: on Monday. It could be in LA, it could be 457 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. We'll get into all of that as we 458 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: continue right here on a five to seventy LA Sports 459 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: the Dodger Talk. The day after the Dodgers beat the 460 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: Phillies in Game four the NLDS in advance to the NLCS, 461 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: and we're all wondering who are the Dodgers going to play, 462 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: Brewers or Cubs. Who's the better matchup Brewers or Cubs. Well, 463 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I know the Brewers beat the Dodgers 464 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: all six times that they played each other, but that 465 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: was a different Dodger team, a team that was not 466 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: healthy completely, that had not flipped the switch yet. And 467 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: as far as the Cubs go, it would be somewhat 468 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: full circle if the Dodgers and Cubs played each other 469 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: in the NLCS, because they already have done it twice 470 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: in the last ten years, in sixteen and seventeen, and 471 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: the Dodgers lost in sixteen beat the Cubs in seventeen. 472 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: Not to mention, these two teams started the Major League 473 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: season in Tokyo, Japan. Yeah, remember that. And Justin Turner 474 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: is a member of the Cubs who was one of 475 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: the heroes of the twenty seventeen NLCS when the Dodgers 476 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: beat John Lackey and the Cubs in Game two. Justin 477 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: Turner had that magical walk off home run on the 478 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: same day that Kirk Gibson back in nineteen eighty eight 479 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: hit his walk off home run. So a lot of 480 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: different things and subplots into play if the Dodgers and 481 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: Cubs meet up, But the Cubs and Brewers will decide 482 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: that tomorrow the Brewers are going with a bullpen game, 483 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: and Jason Mazerowski is supposed to be coming out of 484 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: the bullpen as a bulk starter for the Cubs, They're 485 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: going to have Lefty showta Imanaga on the man who 486 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: has been hurt by the home run ball, and I'm 487 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: not sure how it's gonna go for him in a 488 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: hitters ballpark like at American Family Field in Milwaukee. I'm 489 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: leaning towards Brewers in their home ballpark to win that game, 490 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers then would open up the NLCS in Milwaukee. 491 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: The Brewers had the best record in the National League 492 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: this year, and the Cubs would come to Dodgers Stadium 493 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: on Monday if they pull off the upset tomorrow in Milwaukee. 494 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: So that's the way things line up. And for the Dodgers, 495 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: they're in a great spot. They're saying, thank you very much, 496 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: Cubs for forcing a game five. Whether or not you 497 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: win it or not, you've already done a great job 498 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: forcing a game five. Because both team, no matter how 499 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: they come into the NLCS, they're not going to have 500 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: their ideal and optimal pitching rotation set up, and I'm 501 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: sure you know they're Bullpender's going to be a little 502 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: bit fatigued, especially with the Brewers going to a bullpen 503 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: game today. As far as the Dodgers go, I'm a 504 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: firm believer that Blake Snell should start Game one of 505 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: the NLCS on Monday, whether it's in LA or if 506 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: it's in Milwaukee. To me, it's a no brainer because 507 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: Otani who struggles when he pitches, and during the regular season, 508 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: the Dodgers try to line up as many Otani starts 509 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: the day before and off day, and there is going 510 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: to be a day off, a travel day after Game two, 511 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: whether it's LA to Chicago or Milwaukee to LA. So 512 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: to me, I'm pitching Blake Snell on six days rest 513 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: in Game one of the NLCS, and I'm pitching Otani 514 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: in Game two on nine days rest. And how about this, 515 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: when the series goes to Game three or Game four, 516 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: Yamamoto and Glass now both will be pitching on seven 517 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: days rest. The Dodgers are in a great spot right 518 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: now going into the NLCS with their pitching. Their pitching 519 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: is set, and we all know how important their starting 520 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: pitching is to the Dodgers winning a second consecutive World Series. 521 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: If there was a Game five, not only would that, 522 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: you know, not be ideal going back to Philadelphia, but 523 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: if the Dodgers were to win a Game five all 524 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Now you've used Otani. There was a 525 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: possibility Snell may have been used out of the bullpen. 526 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: Now you got both those guys on extra rest. So 527 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: for me, I would go Blake Snell Game one, Otani 528 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: Game two on nine days rest plus a travel days slash, 529 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: no game after game two. That's the way I see it. 530 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: We'll see the way the Dodgers line it up up. 531 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: They're going to work out probably Sunday in La or 532 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. So that's the way things stand right now. 533 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see how the outcome of 534 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: tomorrow's Brewers Cubs Game five comes out in Milwaukee. Going 535 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: back to last night and the entire series, I know 536 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman did not have a huge offensive series. A 537 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: big reason is because of Christopher Sanchez, Ranger Suarez, and 538 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: of course Jesus Lozardo. But I really do believe Freddie 539 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: Freeman had the biggest walk of the series in Game 540 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: one when he drew a two out walk to allow 541 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: Keikey Hernandez to come up with a big two run 542 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: double with two outs against Lozardo. And also Freddie Freeman's defense. 543 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: He makes it look easy, and I think a lot 544 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: of times we take it for granted just how good 545 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: he is. I know, Tim Kats and Steve Sacks earlier 546 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,719 Speaker 1: this week we're praising Freddie Freeman's defense. I mean, when 547 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: you're that good, you get overlooked defensively. And Freddy is 548 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: so long, long legs, long arms. There is a wide 549 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: target there for all the Dodger infielders. But he made 550 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: a great save on a poor throw a lawn dart 551 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: as they like to say, a worm killer by Tommy 552 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: Edmond to end Game two, and also just a lot 553 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: of throws throughout the game. Go back and watch the games. 554 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman stretching to the left, stretching to the right, 555 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: going down to one knee. He makes life a lot 556 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: easier for all these infielders. And I know Mookie Betts 557 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: has done a great job at shortstop, but you better 558 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: give some credit to Freddie Freeman for making Mookie Betts 559 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: look as good as he has at shortstop. I had 560 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with Freddie as always the 561 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: first guy in the clubhouse. That is part of our 562 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: postgame interview celebration. 563 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 5: Hey, we are here with Freddy Freeman, the anchor of 564 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 5: the Dodgers. Without this guy, they are going nowhere. Freddy, 565 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 5: just describe what you were seeing in that eleventh inning 566 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 5: and how you guys pulled this out. 567 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was incredible. 568 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 4: Just grindy at bass.

Thanks David. 605 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: There he goes Freddy Freeman. Without him, there is no 606 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: Dodgers hey, And I mean that, I know offensively, the 607 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: numbers don't stick out to you like they did in 608 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 1: last year's World Series. But he drew the biggest walk 609 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: of this series, and that was well, I would say 610 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: the second biggest walk Mookie Bets bases loaded walk last night, 611 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: the biggest against Joe on Duran and Freddie Freeman's two 612 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: out walk really helped the Dodgers line keep moving to 613 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: get this guy Keith a Hernandez an opportunity to get 614 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: the Dodgers back in the game in Game one in Philadelphia, 615 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: going from a three to nothing deficit to a three 616 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: to two deficit and allowing ta Oscar Hernandez to have 617 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: the big moment in Game one with the biggest home 618 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: run of the series. Key a Hernandez, I mean, thankfully, 619 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: the Dodgers have started him in every single playoff game 620 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: this year, going back to Game one of the Wildcard Series, 621 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: whether it's at third base or left field, Key k 622 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: is invaluable. Nobody. I've asked so many different managers, coaches, players, 623 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: have you ever seen a player like this go from 624 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: being a role player in the regular season, a guy 625 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: that hits somewhere between two hundred and two fifty turn 626 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 1: into this superhuman clutch player and one of the best 627 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: players on the field in October. And to a man, 628 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: everyone tells me they have never seen it. Keiy a 629 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: Hernandez was still locked in after the game last night, 630 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: and I know everybody's a little concerned about why he 631 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: needed the trainer to come out in the eleventh inning 632 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,879 Speaker 1: during his a bat. Maybe he just tweaked his left 633 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: or right ankle a little bit. I know Dave Roberts 634 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: mentioned it, but now that the Dodgers have a few 635 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: days off, it's not going to keep KEYK Hernandez off 636 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: the field. It's going to take a lot more than that. 637 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: And Kei k was still very much locked in. He 638 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: wasn't a wild and crazy Key K after the game 639 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: last night because he understands, as does Freddie Freeman and 640 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: the others, there's two more rounds to go to be 641 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: able to achieve what the Dodgers have set out to achieve. 642 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: We live. 643 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 6: I don't know. 644 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 3: You tell me, oh, I don't know. 645 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,439 Speaker 1: What's it like to be able to beat a team 646 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: like this the Phillies. 647 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 5: A lot of people believe it was going to be 648 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 5: your biggest challenge in a pitching time before game series. 649 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: How were you able to be able to as a 650 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: group stick with it? 651 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 2: Well? For for for first, we scored more runs on 652 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 2: them three out of the four games, so we won 653 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: those three games. 654 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 3: For celebrating, but yeah, that was That's an unbelievable team. 655 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 2: On the other side, you know, I thought this yeriar 656 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 2: is gonna happen last year. It didn't happen because the 657 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 2: mess got the best of them and here we are 658 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 2: again doing it again against them. You know, they they 659 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 2: had some really good pitching, and they had some mosses 660 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 2: at the top of that lineup and throughout that lineup. 661 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 2: That's a pretty deep line up that they got over there, 662 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 2: And it was a gretty series. We had to earn 663 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 2: every single one of th those three wins, and uh, 664 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 2: you just saw a really good baseball for four games 665 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 2: on both sides, and I'm really glad we came out 666 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:37,759 Speaker 2: on top. 667 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 6: Kyk. 668 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 5: There's been a lot of talk about your book and 669 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 5: for those guys to come out of there tonight and 670 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 5: keep the game where it was, to give you another opportunity. 671 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,479 Speaker 1: How much confidence do you have in those guys. 672 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 2: I've always that confidence, man, Blizard, my guys, I trust them. 673 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't even really matter if things don't 674 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:56,439 Speaker 2: go their way. 675 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,400 Speaker 3: They in the most season. 676 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,879 Speaker 2: You know, everybody starts as zero and yeah, you can 677 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 2: say whatever, like one inning year winning there. 678 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,399 Speaker 1: But you know, we got some really good arts back there. 679 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 3: We got some stuff back there, and in the postseason, 680 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 3: that's that's all you need. You need stuff. You need 681 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 3: strikes and you never thrown strikes. 682 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: We're gonna be all right, and I mean, our our 683 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,879 Speaker 2: pitching was a I think our pitching deserves all. 684 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 3: The credit in the series. 685 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 2: If it wasn't for this pitching that we had throughout 686 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 2: four games, we wouldn't be in this position right now celebrating. 687 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 3: It seemed like they were only. 688 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 2: Able to score in like one hitting every game. They 689 00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 2: only scored in two innings. Last night, say night, they 690 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 2: only scored one run. So that that just that's the testament. 691 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 3: Of our pitching. 692 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 2: Man, I think we we could have won these games 693 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 2: a little more easier. But you know, they did a 694 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 2: great job on their pitching side, and and our pats 695 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 2: didn't really do much. But all credits are pitching. If 696 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 2: it was we're pitching, we wouldn't be celebrating right now. 697 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 5: You deserve to get credit for being known as an 698 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 5: October player. Well, what can you say about the other 699 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 5: guys like the Oscar and Tommy. 700 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: Seems like you have a lot of those type guys. 701 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 4: You know, we had a When you look at the position. 702 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 2: Player side, a lot of us are back from last year. 703 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 2: A lot of us are back from a couple of years. 704 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 2: So you know, two years ago we went through the worst. 705 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 2: Last year we went through the best. So when you 706 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 2: go through the worst and you can go through the best, you. 707 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 3: Know, you you learn a lot about each other. 708 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 2: You you you learn to care more and more about 709 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: about each other as teammates, as a team and uh, 710 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 2: you know, we're just a team that we're gonna find 711 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 2: a way to figure out how to win a ball game. 712 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 2: And you know, we we didn't really have to sluck 713 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 2: this series, but we found ways to score a run, 714 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:40,839 Speaker 2: whether it's an. 715 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 3: Air or kick or whatever it was. 716 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 2: But putting the ball in player, it's just a good 717 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,240 Speaker 2: thing since it happened. 718 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 3: And that's kind of what we did. 719 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 2: We took the league game too by putting the bond play. 720 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,399 Speaker 2: We we won the game by putting the ball play 721 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 2: in a night. Yeah, we we've gone through a lot 722 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,759 Speaker 2: together as a group, so we we just we there's 723 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 2: this trust in each other that we have that you know, 724 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,320 Speaker 2: if you don't get it done, then the guy behind 725 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 2: he's gonna do it. I think that speaks volumes about 726 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 2: our group. And again, all credits, we're pitching. 727 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 1: Congratulations. 728 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 5: We'll see you either here with Chicago or in Milwaukee. 729 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 3: Fast day. 730 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: Thank you, Key k there he goes Key k Hernandez. 731 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: You never know which keyk you're gonna get in those 732 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: locker room celebrations, but certainly he gave some very thoughtful 733 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: and insightful answers and love hearing that he doesn't get 734 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: enough credit for having the highest baseball IQ on that field. 735 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean him and Miguel Rojas, those guys. Baseball IQ 736 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: is next level, and that's why they're invaluable on the infield. 737 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: Because even Key k Hernandez, after Image Shean did not 738 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,879 Speaker 1: catch the relay throw back for the double play when 739 00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: the Phillies scored their only run of the game yesterday, 740 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: Key k Hernandez went straight out to the mound to 741 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: settle she Hen down. That's the type of presence and 742 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: captain leadership you need on the infield, and he's that guy. 743 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: So Kik did a number of different things in this 744 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 1: series to help the Dodgers win, and he's gonna be 745 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: big again for the Dodgers moving forward. The Dodgers are 746 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: looking to become Let's not lose sight of this. They 747 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: are looking to separate themselves from every other Dodger World 748 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: Series team and win back to back championships for the 749 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 1: first time in Dodger franchise history. And become the first 750 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: major League team to win back to back World Series 751 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: championships in twenty five years the Yankees twenty five years ago, 752 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: Jeter Pisada, those guys, last major League team to win 753 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: back to back World Series championships. I think at this 754 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: point you realize and maybe you don't, but it's really 755 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: hard to win a World Series. Everything has to go 756 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: your way. And to win back to back World Series championships, 757 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that is something special that shouldn't be taken 758 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 1: for granted. And the Dodgers have fought a hard road 759 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,319 Speaker 1: to this point and know that it's not going to 760 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: get any easier. Despite what you or others think. The 761 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: Dodgers are going to have a tough opponent in the 762 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 1: Brewers and Cubs. Both those teams nobody has really bought 763 00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: into all season long, and they're really good. And for me, 764 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,840 Speaker 1: the tiebreaker as far as who I would want the 765 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: Dodgers to play are the Cubs because the Dodgers would 766 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,000 Speaker 1: have home field advantage and the Brewers have a lot 767 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: more and deeper talented pitching. So that's the way I 768 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: see it. Stacking up, it should be a great series 769 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: between the Dodgers and Cubs or Dodgers and Brewers, and 770 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: we need Dodger Stadium full. There were a lot of 771 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: empty seats, understandably against the Reds. There were a lot 772 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,120 Speaker 1: of empty seats yesterday because of a three o'clock start, 773 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,200 Speaker 1: but the forty seven to fifty thousand that were at 774 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium yesterday made it feel like there were sixty 775 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: thousand at Dodge. We need Dodger Stadium filled for the NLCS, 776 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: whether it's the first two games here or games three, four, 777 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: and five at Dodgers Stadium. Tickets are available right now 778 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,799 Speaker 1: at Dodgers dot com slash postseason.
