Speaker 4: We are live until eight o'clock right here on AM

Speaker 4: five to seventy LA Sports. You're a home of the

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: back to back World Series champion Dodgers. That's right, back

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: to back World Series champions for the first time in

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 4: twenty five years in Major League Baseball. We do not

17
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: have a guest tonight, but you will hear what Dave

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: Roberts had to say about the way he manage Game

19
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 4: seven of the World Series on Dan Patrick's show. And

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 4: we also will share with you Clayton Kershaw's conversation with

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 4: us after the stage and the rally and the parade

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 4: was over with, so we'll get to that as well.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 4: And look, this is the last Dodger talk we have

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 4: for you until December when the Winter meetings kick off,

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 4: and coming up in our next segment, we'll get into

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 4: the needle that Andrew Friedman has to thread this offseason

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: to keep this thing going. But so let's all just

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: check ourselves and this false narrative that it was the

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 4: little old Blue Jays that took the Dodgers to seven games.

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: It wasn't that the Blue Jays are a really good team.

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: You may not have known about them, but everybody in

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: the Al East knew and saw this coming. In fact,

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: I asked Alex cor that I said, did you see

34
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 4: this coming? He said, I saw this coming two years ago.

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, they had an off year last season,

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: but this year everything clicked. So people that have been

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 4: following the game, manage the game, play the game, know

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: how good the Blue Jays are and are going to

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: be for years to come if they can get some pitching.

40
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 4: But it was a great parade in Los Angeles as too.

41
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 4: You know, it was just great to be on one

42
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: of those buses with a group of Dodgers and just

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: to see the sea of people on the streets of

44
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 4: downtown LA. It was great that the Dodgers and the

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: city decided to make the parade route longer than a

46
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: year ago. It gave more people opportunities to be part

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: of it, to cheer on the Dodgers, and it was

48
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: It was comparable to the first Kobe Shack Lakers championship.

49
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 4: That was the first championship the Lakers had won since

50
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty eight. That was the caliber of this parade.

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 4: It also matched when the Lakers with Kobe and Gasol

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: had the rally at the Coliseum, but the coll scene

53
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: was packed, but the parade route was limited. And this

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 4: parade route was epic. And then the Dodgers get back

55
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 4: to Dodgers Stadium and the entire stadium has sold out

56
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: fifty thousand plus. It was an incredible scene. And I

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 4: could tell you this. The players that I was on

58
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: the bus with, and I just watched Key k Hernandez's

59
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: POV video he did for the Player's Tribune, they all

60
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 4: appreciated it. They all love making eye contact with you.

61
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: They love seeing the signs that people came out, and

62
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: there was one great sign that I actually posted on

63
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 4: my Instagram. It was a must for me to take

64
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: a picture of it because it was a tribute to

65
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: a guy that wasn't able to participate in the world

66
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 4: scene and obviously not there at the parade, and that

67
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: was Alex Vesia. And there was a great sign that

68
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: I saw that said for you, Vesia, hashtag Dodger Strong.

69
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: There were a lot of great signs out there, creative signs,

70
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: and the Dodger players, trust me, felt it this time.

71
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: They felt it last year. Don't get me wrong, but

72
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 4: this was incredibly enormous and a wave of emotion from everybody.

73
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 4: And that's what sports is so great at doing in

74
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: such a divided world. It brings everybody together. It brought

75
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 4: everybody in this city together. And I would love to

76
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: hear from you, and we did this on our Instagram

77
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: page at am five seventy LA Sports. Where were you

78
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 4: watching Game seven of the World Series. I would love

79
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: to know. Eight six six nine eighty seven two five

80
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: seventy is the phone number I could tell you where

81
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 4: I was for the final I was right there in

82
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 4: the camera well at Rogers Center watching it all unfold.

83
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: The Dodgers just two outs away from their season being

84
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: crushingly done, and instead they broke the hearts of Canada

85
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 4: with Miguel Roja sitting a game tying home run, Miguel

86
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: Rojas and Will Smith coming up big for the Dodgers,

87
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 4: not only offensively with those home runs, but also defensively.

88
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: You know, on that Dalton varshow ground ball with the

89
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: infield in bases loaded, and Miguel Rojas somehow, some way

90
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: is able to you know, keep his balance throw a strike,

91
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: and Will Smith incredibly had his foot on home plate.

92
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: But home plate is a very slippery surface, and he's

93
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 4: stretching like a first baseman, and for a split second

94
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: his foot came off home plate, and luckily it tapped

95
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 4: back down before Isaiah Conna Falafo got in there. And

96
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: I know everybody's second guessing him. Why didn't you just

97
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 4: run through it? Well, what do we always say? You

98
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: slided home plate? So now everybody's second guessing him, and

99
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: can't say enough about Yamamoto. We'll get into the story

100
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: about Yamamoto and how that all came about. How about

101
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski never blinking after that bench's clearing brawl, after

102
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 4: Andress and Menez got hit by a pitch, and from

103
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: Robleski's point of view, he thought Jim Nez was trying

104
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 4: to get hit on the previous pitch, so he was

105
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 4: looking to get hit to get on base. And from

106
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 4: what I was told from players, they said the Blue

107
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: Jays closer Jeff Hoffman was chirping the most, and there

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: were a few veteran Dodgers that were screaming at Jeff Hoffman,

109
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: you don't want to get in this game. Don't get

110
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: in this game now. And it was Jeff Hoffman that

111
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: gave up the game tying home run to Miguel Rojas.

112
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: So an incredible sequence of events, an incredible Game seven,

113
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 4: the greatest Game seven I have ever seen in my life.

114
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: I'm sure in your life. I mean that was that

115
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: was incredible, the greatest World series we have seen. I

116
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: haven't seen a more entertaining World series from Game one

117
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 4: to Game seven, and rightfully so, there were so many

118
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: things that happened in this World Series that we had

119
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: never seen before. A pinchait grand slam from Addison Barger,

120
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: two extra inning games, the eighteen inning Game three, Freddie

121
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: Freeman's walk off home run, Meyle smith go ahead home

122
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: run in the eleventh inning in Game seven, two extra

123
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: inning homers, a walkoff homer, of course, a seven to

124
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: four double play. Who could forget that? In Game six,

125
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: Key Ky Hernandez to Miguel Rojas, a complete game from

126
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: Yamamoto in Game two, the first twelve strikeout, zero walk

127
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: game in a World Series, and that was by Y Savage.

128
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: Who can forget Trey Ya Savage, who gave the Dodgers

129
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: fits a player who reached base nine times in one game,

130
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: Otani in the eighteen inning Game three, and a game

131
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: tying ninth inning home run that flipped the World Series.

132
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: Miguel Rojas and Andy Pajez and Key Key Hernandez I

133
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: got stories about that as well. But just keep in

134
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: mind what this means in baseball history. Number One, we're

135
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: witnessing the greatest period of time in Dodger history from

136
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: twenty thirteen to twenty twenty five, but especially twenty seventeen

137
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 4: to where we are in twenty twenty five. There are

138
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: only four repeat National League World Series champions. Only four

139
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 4: teams in the National League have ever repeated as World champions,

140
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: the Dodgers this year, the Big Red Machine in seventy

141
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 4: five and seventy six, and then you have to go

142
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: back to really the old age, the Stone Age of

143
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: the Cubs in seven and eight and the Giants in

144
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: nineteen twenty one. In nineteen twenty two. There has only

145
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 4: been three three Pete champions, the ninety eight to two

146
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 4: thousand Yankees, the seventy two through seventy four A's they

147
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: won three in a row seventy two, seventy three, seventy four,

148
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 4: the fifty three Yankees won five in a row, and

149
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 4: the thirty nine Yankees won four in a row. So

150
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: the Dodgers are looking to do what the Yankees did

151
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: back in ninety eight, ninety nine in two thousand, if

152
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 4: they're able to run it back eight six, six, nine

153
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 4: eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number? All right?

154
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: I want to hear from Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts was

155
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 4: on Dan Patrick this morning. He talked about it was weird.

156
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick kind of pushed Dave Roberts buttons with this question.

157
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: Is there something that you would do differently that you

158
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: didn't do? Here? Was Dave Roberts on Dan Patrick.

159
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 5: Well, the easiest one is hitting for Miguel Ross. He's

160
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: a defensive guy. I inserted him in games six to

161
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 5: add some infusion and energy into our club. And yeah,

162
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: that's that's probably the one. But you know, looking at

163
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 5: the bench, it's tough to pinch hit and anyone can

164
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 5: say and you were probably second guessing me saying you

165
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 5: should hit for them, and because the numbers say that,

166
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 5: there's other guys that can hit home runs in this

167
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 5: but it's hard to come off the bench. And I

168
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: trusted my players, and you know, he made me look

169
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 5: good and he deserved that moment. And in the postseason,

170
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 5: what I have learned Dan, is you know, it's not

171
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 5: about the numbers. You gotta trust your players. And my

172
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: job is to know the players. That's my job. Ultimately,

173
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 5: that's my job. It's not to know statistics. It's about

174
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 5: to know the heartbeat of the player. And I do

175
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 5: believe that, you know, to win eleven or this year

176
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: thirteen games in October, you've got to trust your players,

177
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: to know your players, and that's.

178
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: What we did.

179
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 7: But so you're saying, gut feeling still has a place

180
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 7: in the game. It feels like we're so attached to analytics.

181
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 7: How much of what you did in game seven was

182
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 7: gut as opposed to analytics.

183
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 5: It's it's all gut. I think that if you look

184
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 5: back at twenty twenty four, in the postseason, it's the

185
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 5: eye test, it's gut. But people, if you look at

186
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, it's eye test, it's gut. People can't get

187
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: off the analytics for some reason. So these are people

188
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 5: that are just stuck in their ways and you're never

189
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 5: going to change them. But if people that really want

190
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: to walk, that really watched the game and know the game,

191
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: then they can see that analytics had nothing. It's about,

192
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 5: you know, coaches trusting their players and players stepping up

193
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 5: in big moments.

194
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 4: And that was part of Dan Patrick's conversation with three

195
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: times World Series champion Dave Roberts as a manager four

196
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: times with the four Red Sox, if you're including the

197
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 4: one that he won as a player, but I gotta

198
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 4: be honest with you, I never never thought Dave Roberts

199
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: should have pinchedh it for Miguil Rojas in Game seven.

200
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 4: The reason why Rojas was even starting in Game six

201
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 4: and Game seven because Andy pa has in the entire

202
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: postseason was overmatched, and quite honestly, the Dodger bench was

203
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: as thin as it's been in years. You had Justin

204
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 4: Dean and Hassan Kim at the end of this bench.

205
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: There was nobody better than Miguel Rojas to take that

206
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: at bat for the mere reason to get on base,

207
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: to turn the lineup over for Sho Hao Tani. Nobody thought,

208
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: including myself, that he would hit the game tying home run.

209
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 4: That's the reason why I never even thought that Dave

210
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 4: Roberts should pinch hit for Miguel Rojas. There was no

211
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: better option off the bench to pinch hit for him.

212
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 4: And if you were listening to the show during the

213
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: World Series, you know I was the one that presented

214
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 4: the question to Dave Roberts before Game two about thoughts

215
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: of benching Andy pah has. I thought Miguel Rojas should

216
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: have been playing in this series since Game two, but

217
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 4: luckily Dave Roberts got him in in Game six and

218
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 4: Game seven, and that was the difference. He was a

219
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 4: huge difference the final two games of the World Series. Obviously,

220
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: Game seven two outs away from going home, and Miguel

221
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 4: Rojas extended the Dodgers season to the eleventh inning when

222
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 4: Will Smith took over, all right, we're gonna take a

223
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: time out. When we come back, we have three lines open.

224
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: We will get to you eight six, six, nine, eighty

225
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: seven two five, seventy, we'll hear from Clayton Kershaw. I'll

226
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 4: let you know with Shoho Tani's father envisions for his

227
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: son's future in baseball, and we'll get into what the

228
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 4: Dodgers may do this offseason. So a lot to get

229
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: to between now and eight o'clock. I want to know

230
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: where you were watching Game seven of the World Series,

231
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: as your Dodgers are now back to back champions for

232
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: the first time in franchise history. David vass with you

233
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 4: until eight o'clock right here on a five to seventy

234
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: LA Sports. David Vass with you until eight o'clock on

235
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 4: our final Dodger Talk of the month of November. Will

236
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 4: rejoin you in December, once the hot stove really gets

237
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: going in the Winter Meetings next week GM meetings. That's

238
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: where some of the groundwork is laid as far as

239
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 4: trades and signings go. Kind of as a feel out session,

240
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: but the Winter Meeting seems to have things a little

241
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: bit more accelerated by that point in time. So we'll

242
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: be back with you in December. So eight sixty six, nine,

243
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: eight seven, two, five seventy we've got a full board

244
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: of calls, so I want to get to you before

245
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: I do. Since we are the home of the back

246
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: to back World Series champions. I'm looking at all these

247
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: stores and I peek my head into a couple and look,

248
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 4: I love the Dodger clubhouse stores across southern California. But

249
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: can we get more gear that says back to back

250
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: World Series Champions? All I see is the generic twenty

251
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: twenty five World Series Champions. Yeah, that's true. But the

252
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 4: bigger thing here is that we all are celebrating, is

253
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 4: that the Dodgers are the first team in a quarter

254
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: century to win back to back World Series Championships. How

255
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: about more back to back World Series champions gear out there?

256
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: My guy, Brad Paisley agrees with me, and I know

257
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: my girl, Elizabeth Olsen agrees with me too. Elizabeth Olsen

258
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: was backstage at Jimmy Kimmel telling Sue, Joe and the

259
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: rest of the Dodgers social media team how much she

260
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: loves David Vasse and watches me breaking my arm going

261
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: down that slide in Milwaukee over and over again. So

262
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: Elizabeth Olson, love it, Thank you, Appreciate you. Eight six

263
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,280

270
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 8: you know, the collision in centerfield, the the play at

271
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 8: home plate, all Roberts, Roberts's decisions that he's made during.

272
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: Well, I haven't. I haven't hit on where Eddie and

273
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: Fontana was for Game seven of the World Series. Where

274
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: were you, Eddie?

275
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 5: You know what?

276
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 8: I was at home in in uh in Fontana watching

277
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 8: the game, and uh just it was incredible. It was

278
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 8: unbelievable to watch a game like that.

279
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 9: Steve V.

280
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 8: That's something that we'll never see again. Bro, That's something

281
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 8: that was just historic. And to watch something like that,

282
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 8: you'll never forget where you were at when you've seen

283
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 8: something like that.

284
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 4: Love it, Eddie. The Dodgers have given us so many

285
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: memories they'll pass to October really special. Freddie Freeman's walk

286
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 4: off home run in game We're walk off Grand Slam

287
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 4: in Game one last year his walk off home run

288
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 4: in the eighteenth inning of Game three. This year, Walker

289
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 4: Buehler last year being the pitching hero along with Blake Trining.

290
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: This year, Ya'm a moto being the hero the World Series, MVP.

291
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 4: Just so many great memories. Let's go out to CJ

Speaker 4: and Baldwin Park. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, CJ.

293
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:29,760

00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 10: David.

295
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 3: I just want to say I really appreciate your inside

296
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: every night after the postgame. One of the things that

297
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: I did want to mention was, I know you talked

298
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: about those Yankees teams, especially Derk junior team, the Athletics,

299
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: a lot of those teams that don't have to go

300
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 3: through so many series and games to win those World Series.

301
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: So we are the we are the new evil Empire.

302
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: I love the hate that we get. Los Angeles is

303
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: the city of champions. And I was at Universal Studios

304
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: and being a Dodger fan who's gone so many heartbreaks

305
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: every October, I'm glad to see the team coming through

306
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: all the win all it takes to win, mentality that

307
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 3: the ownership has brought, and seeing all the new fans

308
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 3: that have come out. You know, we're at universe when

309
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: it sounded like the malin echoed, when make you hit

310
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: that that home run? And then you heard it again

311
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: when Will Smith hit that game winning home run.

312
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 4: Thank you, David Hey, that's cool. What a cool place

313
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 4: to be. When the Dodgers won Game seven of the

314
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 4: World Series, Universal Studios, that's pretty cool. Yeah, he's right.

315
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 4: By the way, the Dodgers are the first World champions

316
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 4: to win these many games, to have to win the

317
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 4: World Series thirteen wins, they had to win two extra

318
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 4: ones because they were the number three seed in this

319
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: expanded postseason. And he's right as well. When you go

320
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 4: back to the seventies and before that, even the early eighties,

321
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 4: it was you win your division and you're going to

322
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: you know, the Championship Series, or you going straight to

323
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: the World Series. In the fifties and before that, So

324
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 4: he's right the Dodgers now, in every team now, you

325
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: have to appreciate the fact that these are expanded postseasons

326
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 4: and a lot more traps along the way. It's not

327
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: just you win your division, you're the National League Pennant winner,

328
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 4: you're going on or you just have to win the

329
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 4: NLCS and you're going to the World Series. Now the

330
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 4: Dodgers and other teams. There are extra rounds, and the

331
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 4: Dodgers are the first team to win thirteen games on

332
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: their way to the World Championship. Not to mention, and

333
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: a few of the guys did after Game seven and

334
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: at the parade. The Dodgers started twenty twenty four before

335
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: every other team. They finished later than any other team.

336
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 4: They played more days, were engaged more days. Because they

337
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: started the year in South Korea twenty twenty five. They're

338
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 4: coming off a World Series championship against the Yankees, have

339
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 4: to report sooner than everybody else in early February, play

340
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: all the way through to the second day of November.

341
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: After starting the year in Tokyo. I said it for

342
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 4: a reason to remind the world from Tokyo to Toronto,

343
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 4: the Dodgers are the world champions. Don't discount the road

344
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: the Dodgers had to drive and be on this whole

345
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: last two years to win back to back championships. That's

346
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 4: more impressive than anything any other champion has ever done,

347
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 4: including the Yankees with Jeter Pasada Pettit those guys, they

348
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 4: did not have to be a world tour rock band

349
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: like the Dodgers have been. The last two years. Let's

350
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 4: go out to Gilbert though in San Diego. Gilbert, though,

351
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: you're on Dodger Talk, dodo bien champions. Sorry, that wasn't Spanish.

352
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 4: That was just like East La accent stuff. Sorry, Gilberto,

353
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 4: that was bad at me. That wasn't good. Be honest,

354
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: not a.

355
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 11: Pro coopers, Thank you. Listen, listen. I knew it was

356
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 11: gonna be a roller coaster of a season. I heard

357
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 11: the caller throughout the whole season. The people that didn't

358
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 11: believe in Brothers, didn't believe in this and that, and

359
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 11: you always kept us informed about what was going on.

360
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 11: I never had a doubt. I was with my son

361
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 11: at a Chicken Wings place in San Diego throughout the

362
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 11: post throughout the post season, except when my son went

363
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 11: to a lady to watch the Dodgers. He went to

364
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 11: a game for every single series, and in the seventh game,

365
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 11: same as last year, when Freddy keep the home run

366
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 11: the Grand Slam, or when the Dodgers beat the Yankees

367
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 11: in the fifth game, we were at the same place.

368
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 11: This time they were about seventy percent Dodger fans and

369
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 11: the rest word Toronto uh Doesger haters. It was great.

370
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 11: It was a great game. And one of the things

371
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 11: that I'm more grateful for is for you, my friend,

372
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 11: because you always tell us the truth. You always kept it,

373
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,719
Speaker 11: keep you kept it. You know, even killed letting us

374
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 11: know what was going on, criticizing the team when he

375
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 11: needed to be criticized, because what were they were doing,

376
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 11: and let us just know, like hold on, things are

377
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 11: gonna They're gonna get healthy, they're gonna get better. And

378
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 11: my god, they gave us the greatest gifts this year.

379
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 11: That team. I've seen many champion Dodgers since the eighties.

380
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 11: Eighty one was my first Dodger war fearies this team,

381
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 11: what they accomplished, and especially Dave Roberts, he doesn't get

382
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 11: the credit he deserves. He should not be ignored no

383
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 11: more by the media about being the best manager in

384
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 11: baseball because it's very difficult to handle superstars. Anybody can

385
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 11: handle average players, average things, but very few people can

386
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 11: handle superstars and held them, hold them accountable. And we

387
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 11: have a great team. I'm looking forward. I'm going to

388
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 11: enjoy these post season and it's spring, spring training, the

389
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 11: World Series, and then we'll go at it again next year.

390
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 11: Because I know Roberts already got the okay from pat

391
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 11: Riley for a three piece and I'm looking forward and

392
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 11: my friend, thank you very much for all what you've

393
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 11: done this season. My friends, thank you very much because

394
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 11: through you we know what's going on. And I really

395
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 11: enjoy listening to you and your insight, and I wish

396
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 11: you the best.

397
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 4: My friend, Hey, thank you, good Bruto. We'll talk to

398
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: you in December. Thank you for those kind words, and

399
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: I obviously can hear the emotion, the passion, the love

400
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: of the Dodgers from you, and those are memories that

401
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 4: you always have, your son will always have, and that's

402
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 4: what baseball is better at doing than any other sport

403
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 4: out there, creating those type of memories and bonds with

404
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 4: the next generation. Eight six, six, nine, seven, two, five

405
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 4: seventy is the phone number. And I agree with him.

406
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 4: If you're going to be the guy that says Dave

407
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 4: Roberts should have done this, Dave Roberts should have done that,

408
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 4: you gotta start giving Dave Roberts a lot of love

409
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 4: and a lot more credit because he is one of

410
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: the main reasons the Dodgers were in a position to

411
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 4: be able to beat a very good, tenacious Blue Jays team.

412
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 4: And also last year, using his gut, as he said,

413
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: to go out to the man, look at Blake Trinen

414
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 4: and say, all right, I'm gonna trust you. Freddie Freeman

415
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: trusts you. These guys on the mound trust you. I'm

416
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 4: going with you, and I'm going to trust Walker Bueer

417
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 4: to close out the game. So uh, he has built

418
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: such a good bond with the players, and he certainly

419
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: knows his pitching staff better than most. And look, the

420
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 4: reality is it's Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts. These two

421
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 4: guys together have done incredible things together. And I have

422
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 4: said this before with certain players that believe there's greener

423
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 4: grass on the other side. Dave Roberts and Andrew Freeman

424
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: are better together than they would be a part. That's

425
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: for certain. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five

426
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 4: seventy is the phone number we're gonna take our final

427
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 4: time out on Dodger Talk. When we come back, we'll

428
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 4: get to more of your phone calls. Eight sixty six

429
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: nine eighty seven two five seventy, and you'll also hear

430
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 4: from Clayton Kershaw. Don't know how much hot Stove I'll

431
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 4: be able to get to, but I'll fill you in

432
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: on a little preview of what to be expected. Dodgers

Speaker 4: sending Clayton Kershaw out a winner as he goes into

449
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 4: retirement after eighteen Hall of Fame seasons. We had a

450
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: chance to catch up with a very emotional Clayton Kershaw

451
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: after the parade after the rally at the stadium, him

452
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 4: holding his youngest son. Just a beautiful scene at Dodger

453
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: Stadium for one of the greatest pitchers we have ever

454
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: seen in Major League Baseball. It is Game seven of.

455
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: The World Series. Not a lot of players in their

456
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: careers get to go out with a team in the

457
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: World Series, let alone a Game seven of the World Series.

458
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: But our guy, Clayton Kershaw has that opportunity. How do you, well,

459
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: Number one, thank you for the time before your last

460
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: game in Major League Baseball.

461
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, I sent Ronnie the pregame interview from the

462
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 4: first one from the first from the last from Game seven.

463
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,200

00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 4: send Ronnie right now the postgame interview there that we

465
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 4: had with Kershaw from the rally. So while we do that,

466
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 4: let's go back out to the phones. James and Buena Park. Wow,

467
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 4: you really got a peek behind the curtain. I spoke

468
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 4: to Kershaw before his last game, that epic Game seven,

469
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 4: and we had a chance to catch up with him

470
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: at the rally. James, so very lucky to be with

471
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: him every day the last fourteen seasons.

472
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, Hey, how are you doing, David Great? Hey, I'm

473
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 12: probably the biggest Dodgery fan out there. I was at

474
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 12: my first Dodger game back in nineteen seventy seven and

475
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 12: Don Sutton was a pitcher. I was at Fernando's first

476
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 12: game against the Ashtros in eighty one, and I was

477
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 12: at the Kirk Kitchen home run in eighty eight.

478
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: That's amazing.

479
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 12: And where I watched the game was. I got a

480
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 12: hotel room on Sunset Boulevard and Vince Scully Drive at

481
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 12: the hotel and watched the game by myself and had

482
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 12: a big Chacaroni pizza and a six pack of Doctor Pepper.

483
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: Are you saying on the corner of Sunset and Vin

484
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 4: Scully Boulevard or vincecar Way? That hotel that's right there,

485
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: That's where you watched it.

486
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 13: That's why I watched by myself.

487
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, that's amazing. Wow. What was the scene

488
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: like around that area when the Dodgers got the funnel out?

489
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 14: It was incredible.

490
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 12: People were hawking their horns and it was just it

491
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 12: was intense. Let me tell you, it was intent.

492
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 4: Wow. James, that's aggressive. Great move by you. Thank you

493
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 4: for sharing that with us. I've never met anybody that

494
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 4: has stayed at that hotel. I've seen people renovated hotel

495
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: right there on the corner of Vinscully Wayne Sunset Boulevard.

496
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 4: I do love Bar Flores on Sunset Boulevard. I like

497
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 4: that scene. I like that vibe. Let's go out to Bellflower. Maria.

498
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 4: You're on Dodger Talk.

499
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 10: How you doing, Maria, I'm doing well.

500
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 9: Thanks for taking my call, David.

501
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 13: Please, I wanted to share with you my Game seven story.

502
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 13: So I was at home with my family and my niece.

503
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 9: Who's two years old, who's obsessed with the Dodgers.

504
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 7: It was her first.

505
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 9: Sleepover that night, and she every night when she goes

506
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 9: to bed, we ask her who do you want to

507
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 9: pray for? And the game is going on, and unprompted,

508
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 9: she says, I want to pray for the Dodgers. And

509
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 9: then she gave me a rosary and I held on

510
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 9: to the rosary the rest of the night, and when

511
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 9: they won, I was able to hug my dad. So

512
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 9: it was a very special evenion at our house.

513
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 4: Oh, Maria, that's amazing. That's that's a memory that you'll

514
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: have for a lifetime. And were you holding that rosary

515
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 4: a little extra tighter. When Miguel Rojas came to the

516
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 4: plate with two with one out.

517
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 13: I was and I think I scared.

518
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 9: My niece because I yelled so loud and she might

519
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 9: to startle her.

520
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 13: Honestly, like, it was such an amazing experience and that

521
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 13: was such an amazing game. And I also want to

522
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 13: say thank you to you and one on the radio side,

523
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 13: because I've been listening to you guys all year and

524
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 13: you guys are just continuing Vinscully's legacy. So I'm just

525
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 13: so happy that we have the best in the business.

526
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 4: I love hearing that, Maria, because that's what it's all about.

527
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: You gotta understand the responsibility that you have broadcasting part

528
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: of the Dodger games, and you know, the play by

529
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 4: play guys especially have that responsibility to be not Vin Scully,

530
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: but be as impartial and down the line as Vin

531
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: Scully was. We all knew Vin wanted the Dodgers to win,

532
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: but you never heard him say we or us. He

533
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: called it down the line, and that's what I think

534
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 4: we all grew up with and appreciated. We knew Vin

535
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 4: wanted the Dodgers to win, but he never went over

536
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: the top. Eight six six eight seven two five seventy

537
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: is the phone number Kellen in La. Where were you

538
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 4: for Game seven? Were you holding on to a rosary

539
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 4: like Maria? Where were you at?

540
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 15: I was holding on to my wife's sweat.

541
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: Damn, I bet yours were sweaty too, the whole thing.

542
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, we watched that thing at the house. I was

543
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 15: at Game three all three, every inning. Got home around

544
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 15: two o'clock in the morning. I was at Game two

545
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 15: last year in the World Series, in Game six and

546
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 15: twenty seventeen. Still get patsd watching all the highlights from

547
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 15: that World Series, specifically the Game seven, but so many

548
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 15: monumental events during that game that still make me gag

549
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 15: and dry heave as I watched through them, even though

550
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 15: I know what the outcome is going to be.

551
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you got twenty twenty five to be able

552
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 4: to relive, and we'll rebroadcast the game at three o'clock

553
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: on Friday twenty seventeen. Is a distant memory, obviously, one

554
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 4: that should have been the Dodgers, and I'll always believe

555
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 4: that and the guys that were on that team. Unfortunately

556
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 4: a lot of them did not get an opportunity to

557
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 4: try to win one. But yeah, I don't want to

558
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: talk about seventeen. I'm just trying to enjoy twenty five.

559
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: Thanks for the phone call, Kellen appreciated. Yeah, you think

560
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 4: back to twenty seventeen, guys like rich Hill, Chase Utley,

561
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 4: Andre Ethier, just to name a few, never got another

562
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 4: opportunity to be able to try to win a championship

563
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: because that was it for them. Eight six six are

564
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 4: at least for Ethier and Utley. Rich Hill went on

565
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 4: to other teams and he still hasn't announced his retirement,

566
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: but yeah, as a Dodger, that was it for those

567
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: three eight six, six, nine, eight seven, two, five seventy

568
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: is the phone number. How about Tyler Glass now who

569
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 4: obviously had his ups and downs during the season, and

570
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts really work with him to just change his mindset.

571
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 4: And if he doesn't change his mindset going into the

572
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: postseason and the last month of the year, he couldn't

573
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 4: do what he did come out of the bullpen multiple

574
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 4: times in that eighteen inning affair, and then you know,

575
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 4: be able to actually he started Game three of the

576
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 4: World Series, that eighteen inning game and then come out

577
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 4: of the bullpen in Game six and uh, you know,

578
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 4: get get huge outs. I mean without Tyler Glassnow getting

579
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 4: Ernie Clement to pop out on the first pitch in

580
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: the ninth inning in Game six, the Dodgers probably don't

581
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 4: win that maybe it goes to extra innings again, and

582
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 4: that's not something the Dodgers wanted to see. And then

583
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: obviously glass Now was on the mound when when Keiy

584
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 4: Hernandez was able to double off Addison Barger at second

585
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 4: base to end Game six and give the Dodgers the

586
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 4: opportunity at a game seven eight six, six, seven two

587
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to

588
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 4: Noah in Wittier. You're on Dodger Talk.

589
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 10: How you doing Noah, I'm doing good and thank you

590
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 10: for answering my call. I would just want to say

591
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 10: I was at a wink stop after my homecoming and

592
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 10: seeing everybody in that wink stop come together and celebrate

593
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 10: after the Dodgers win was just amazing. It shows how

594
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 10: much this team means to everyone over here and it

595
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 10: was just beautiful to see.

596
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 4: Love it. Noah, What, how Spicey do you get your wings?

597
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 10: I love him? Really spicy man. Gotta there you go

598
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 10: really spicy.

599
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 4: There you go. You could play for the Dodgers with

600
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 4: that attitude for sure.

601
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 10: Thank you, Thank you. Also, I just want to say

602
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 10: Kershaw is the man for coming out in that very

603
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 10: tense situation in Game three, just to get that one

604
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 10: out in a three to two count. Just that's just

605
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 10: got stuff right there, man, nothing else you can ask

606
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 10: for him.

607
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 4: That's a guy that will outcompete anybody that he's facing.

608
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 4: That's what he always talks talks about its competition, just

609
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 4: trying to go monoemno against that hitter and who's gonna

610
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: be the guy that blinks? And you're right, that was

611
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: a big out because if he walks Nathan Lucas, the

612
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 4: Blue Jays have the lead in extra innings, and if

613
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 4: he gives up a base hit, the blue Jays score too.

614
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 4: So that wasn't just a charity offering by Dave Roberts.

615
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: They needed Clayton Kershaw to get that out. And speaking

616
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 4: of Clayton Kershaw, he actually told me when we got

617
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 4: off the bus at the parade when we arrived at

618
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium that he never saw the play at the

619
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 4: plate with Isaiah Kanna Filefa and he never even saw

620
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 4: him get to third base. He never even knew how

621
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 4: he got to third base, and he never even saw

622
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 4: will Smith's home run because he was getting ready to

623
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 4: come into the game to face Dalton Varshow. If Yamamoto

624
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 4: can't get that game or game ending double play the

625
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 4: eleventh inning, when Varshow comes to the plate, Kershaw was

626
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: coming in. That was it for Yamamoto if he doesn't

627
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 4: get that game ending double play. So that's a little

628
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 4: behind the scenes of Kershaw's vantage point and what he

629
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: was doing in the Dodger bullpen and part of the

630
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 4: reason why he was so late to the dogpile because

631
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 4: he was warming up to come in to face the

632
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 4: lefty Dalton Varshow if it got to him in the

633
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 4: eleventh inning. Speaking of Clayton Kershaw, here was our conversation

634
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 4: after Game seven was all said and done and the

635
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 4: parade was said and done.

636
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 16: Oh hey, Dave, how are you doing.

637
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 4: I'm doing great.

638
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm like one of the kids, you know, you just

00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: show up and here I am.

640
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 16: I think we can handle one more interview or a

641
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 16: question or whatever you got for me.

642
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: Well, last year you were incredibly emotional. How are you

643
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: able to keep it together. You did not cry like

644
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: you said you might.

645
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think it's I'm just at piece man, Like

646
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 16: this is uh, there's not a sad bone in my body.

647
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 16: It's just so it's just so happy to be able

648
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,399
Speaker 16: to celebrate your last game ever, your last time at

649
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 16: Dodger Stadium ever, with fifty thousand fans and getting to

650
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 16: tell them how much they mean to you, and getting

651
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 16: to be here with my teammates and how much they

652
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 16: mean to me. Like you can't script it. You can't

653
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 16: script it, you know, And.

654
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,479
Speaker 4: So I just.

655
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 16: I'm just so grateful, thankful for every part of this.

656
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 16: That parade was the most epic parade. I mean, I'll

657
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 16: remember that for a lifetime. So yeah, I think that's

658
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 16: how I kept together. I'm just happy. Man. That's pretty awesome.

659
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 1: What a group to go out with, right, Clayton, you're

660
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: a guy that really cares about the team. Doesn't make

661
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: it more special that you guys go out as back

662
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: to back chickins.

663
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 4: But with the character of this.

664
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 16: Team, well, I mean, let's be honest, back to back champs.

665
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 16: You'll do that with anybody, but this group is not

666
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 16: just anybody. You know, this group you kind of heard

667
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 16: a little bit. There's a lot of different personalities, there's

668
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 16: a lot of different guys that can say a lot

669
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 16: of things, do a lot of things. But at the

670
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 16: end of the day, we're one team and we had

671
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 16: one goal and everybody pushed towards it. And I know

672
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 16: it all sounds cliche, one band, one sound, all that stuff,

673
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 16: but it really is true. Man Like, it's just not

674
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 16: about one guy. Like we got a lot of great ones,

675
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 16: but it's not about one. So I'm pretty happy with that.

676
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 16: It's pretty awesome.

677
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: Well, the game rewards certain players, and the game has

678
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: rewarded Clayton Kershaw because of how he's honored it all

679
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: these years, going out after eighteen seasons as a back

680
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: to back World Series champion. Congratulations, Thank you.

681
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 16: Ben, thank you. It's special. It has been. It's been awesome.

687
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 4: a little bit. But look, I always said this the

688
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: last fourteen years, you knew the world was right every

689
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,239

00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 4: that's not gonna happen anymore. And that's gonna be a

691
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 4: big adjustment for everybody that's been around the Dodgers for

692
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: the last eighteen years and for me the last fourteen years.

693
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna be different, no doubt about it. All Right,

00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 4: translated that Otani's dad wrote, show, Hey, you're thirty one

773
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 4: years old. I think as a baseball player you're in

774
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 4: your prime. But there will come a time when you

775
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 4: have to decide between pitching and hitting. When you can't

776
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 4: pitch anymore, you can be an outfielder. I think that

777
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 4: if you practice, you can definitely do it. That was

778
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,680

783
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,360
