1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: They say. The hardest thing in sports isn't winning a title.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 2: It's hard to repeat seasons.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 3: It's winning it again.

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 4: This Yearing is not trying to win a championship, They're

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 4: trying to repeat.

Speaker 3: Tim Kats and you on this Wednesday morning, October twenty ninth,

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, as your Los Angeles Dodgers had themselves

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: now a fight a best of three with the Toronto

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: Blue Jays as this series is tied up now at

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: two games a piece, after the Dodgers fell to the

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: Blue Jays last night six to two. I am Tim Kaks,

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: joined by two time World Series Champion, Rookie of the Year,

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: and arguably our number one number three out there, the

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: one and only Steve Sacks Saxy. It is a day

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: in which the Dodgers need to get right. It is

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 3: a day in which Blake Snell needs to get right

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: after his Game one start, and as we've been talking

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: about the first hour of the show, it is time

34
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers' offense to get right after losing last

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: night and seeing the Toronto Blue Jays tie this series

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: up at two games a piece.

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is time. It's time to see somebody go

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 5: first to third, you know, score on a pass ball,

39
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 5: maybe get some get some jumps from first base, and

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 5: get some dirt balls into second. You know, I thought

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 5: there was a couple opportunities missed there where some balls

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 5: were in the dirt that they could have taken the base.

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,399
Speaker 5: Be aggressive on the base pass. See some speed show up,

44
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 5: watch the closing speed in the outfield as they go

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 5: and snare a ball on a line drive things like

46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 5: that that really, you know, rejuvenated and excite the team.

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 5: It's not only the offense gets excited, but believe me,

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: when those guys in the bullpen see the offense on display,

49
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: knowing that they're going to score runs and make their

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 5: job a little bit easier, it fires everybody up.

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 3: Last night show, Hey o Tani pitched Okay. He went

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: six innings, ended up giving up four runs on six hits,

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 3: struck out six. As we mentioned in the first hour

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: of the show, he kept the Dodgers in the game.

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: They took a one nothing leading the second. He made

56
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: a mistake on a sweeper to Vlad Guerrero in the

57
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: third and the Dodgers were down two to one, But

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: then he put up zeros the rest of the way.

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: At one point he struck out four to the next five.

60
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: He put up zeros and waited for the offense to

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 3: do something behind him, and again there was nothing there.

62
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: They couldn't string together hits, and it felt like just

63
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 3: a bunch of fly ball outs and a lot of

64
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: flyballs deep to the outfield as they try to jacket

65
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 3: out of the park every single time. Meanwhile, the message

66
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: on the other side from Schneider and everybody up and

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: down that lineup in the Toronto Blue Jays was they

68
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: were wide awake. They felt good despite an eighteen inning

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: loss seventeen hours before that, they came back, rested, ready

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: to go, and they got after Otani, they shrung together

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: hids and in the seventh inning they chased o'tanni Steve

72
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: and then they got after Bonda and Blake trying in

73
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: and put up one of those crooked numbers. And again

74
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: it was a six to one lead, and you felt

75
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: like in a might as well been sixteen to one

76
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: at the time.

77
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, at that time when you have a six to

78
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 5: one lead against a team that can pitch better than

79
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 5: most teams, and you know, it's it's a tough it's

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: a tough team to climb over right there, but it's

81
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 5: not insurmountable. You got to reset tonight, Okay, you got

82
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 5: to reset knowing that you're going back to Toronto. It's

83
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: a little bit of a different mindset. You might see

84
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 5: somebody else out in center field tonight.

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: Which we better see somebody else out there.

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think it's a time to look back

87
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 5: and say, with all the inefficiencies that we've had, on

88
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: our offense. We're still tied up. We still just got

89
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 5: to win two out of three, and I think that's

90
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: an okay position. It could be a lot worse for

91
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 5: the Dodgers right now. Believe me, it could be a

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 5: lot worse.

93
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're playing the waiting game. And I appreciate

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: the fact that Dave Roberts has a long runway, so

95
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: to speak, and that's his terms that he likes to

96
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: use when talking about his players. And that's one of

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: the things that I really appreciate about Dave Roberts and

98
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: some Dodger fans it drives him crazy, is he does

99
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: allow a long runway for a player to get out

100
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: of a slump, to work their way out of whatever

101
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: funk that they're in. But you know what, over the

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: course of one hundred and sixty two games, you can

103
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: have a long runway, but this is a short runway.

104
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: This is a s short leash, and that leash has

105
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: got to be tightened dramatically with the lineup change tonight.

106
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: Andy Pie has second on the team in home runs,

107
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 3: can slug with the best of them, but quite frankly,

108
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: has not showed up in October. And it's time for

109
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: Andy Pie has to be on the bench, and it's

110
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: time for Tommy Edmund Steve to be in center field

111
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: and Miguel Rojas to be at second base for the

112
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: Dodgers tonight Game five.

113
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think the you know, the powers that

114
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 5: be may be hearing you. I think they hear your enthusiasm,

115
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 5: they hear your your sour attitude. I guess you could

116
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: say you're towards towards what the team has been doing,

117
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: but it's warranted. I mean, you know, I think what

118
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 5: you're hearing now is when the fans call in and

119
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 5: they say, you're speaking for most of the sentiment of

120
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: all the fans in Los Angeles. You have to listen

121
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 5: to that. It's like, you know, Ciskel and she Seebert

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 5: is the name of the two that would judge Ciskel

123
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: and Ebert whatever, they would judge the the movies, right, yeah,

124
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 5: And man, they come up with some real dumb, you know,

125
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 5: projections on what the movie is gonna gross and all that.

126
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: I mean stupid like, oh, you know, I saw the

127
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 5: movie Titanic and it was average, was a sh medium,

128
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 5: you know, really that movie was okay. Then you ask

129
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 5: the first ten people that come out of the movie theater,

130
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 5: which is the best barometer? Hey, what'd you think of

131
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 5: the movie? And those ten people are gonna give you

132
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 5: the best barometer better than anybody else can. My point is,

133
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: I think that's what we're getting from you, Tim. You're

134
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: the people coming out of the movie theater and you're

135
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: the best barometer. So on three, I want you to

136
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 5: go and give us an over, like a glazing over.

137
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 5: One more, maybe maybe three points that are really you know,

138
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 5: chapping your behind.

139
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: Ready, go, I'm tired of hearing this narrative that the

140
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 3: Dodgers were tired after Game three and how many hours

141
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: of sleep they get after Game three? How did they

142
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: get to the ballpark so glazed over and tired? How

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: did they actually get in the car and drive to

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 3: Dodgers Stadium?

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 5: If they had to walk to the park, you.

146
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: Might as well have thought they walked fifty miles in

147
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: the snow to get to Dodgers Stadium. I get it.

148
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: It was a grinding, eighteen inning game, but you won

149
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: that game. Momentum was on your side going into Game four.

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 3: If you're the Toronto Blue Jays, you're the team that

151
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: had to put your head to pillow and think about.

152
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: Oh no, we're on the verge of being down three

153
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: to one. We're on the road, We're in a hotel room,

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: and the Dodgers are feeling good about themselves. Meanwhile, the

155
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: Blue Jays are the team. They came out last night

156
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: and Shane Biebert dealed and the offense didn't stop for

157
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: the Toronto Blue Jays. They grinded and grinded put runners

158
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: on base against Otani. He struck out guys, yes, but

159
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: then finally they chased him in the seventh inning. Meanwhile, meanwhile,

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have an offense, and when Otani's pitching, we

161
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: know the offense isn't gonna be there like it is

162
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: in the game he's not pitching. Was that being sad?

163
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 3: This is point number two? Where the heck is everybody? Else?

164
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: Where is the Calvary? Where are the other future Hall

165
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: of Famers? Freddie Freeman hit a home run in Game

166
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: three in the eighteenth inning. I get it, We've turned

167
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: the page. Where was he last night? Where's Mookie Betts been?

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: In this postseason and in particular October baseball? Andy Pi

169
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: has has struggled. I think Andy Pie has has one

170
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: more hit than I do in this October baseball. In fact,

171
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: I know Andy Pye has and I had the same

172
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: amount of home runs in the month of October, and

173
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: I can go on in a limb pretty confidently and

174
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: say Steve that Andy pie Has and I had the

175
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: same amount of walks in October. This time around. Okay,

176
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: it's gotta be better. Okay, this is the world's I

177
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: don't want to hear about. This is great pitching. This

178
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: is the best of the best. Oh, we're facing top

179
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: level starters on the other side, just like they're facing

180
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: our best. You know what, They grinded down the unicorn

181
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: last night, and they took off the horn and they

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: had him mortal in showy Otani.

183
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 5: I'm feeling you.

184
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: Where is the rest of the Dodgers? Where is the

185
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: sense of urgency? Last night? It's a fight for seven games.

186
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: You go up two games to one, you hit a

187
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: gut punch, you have him on the ropes, hit them hard,

188
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: knock him out, and now you let him back in

189
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: the fight. The bell rang, you've gone back to the

190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: corners and now it's all square too.

191
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: So do you think they had him on the ropes

192
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 5: and they went for the knockout by just trying to

193
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: go to the head. Maybe they go they got cute,

194
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 5: They got too cute. They're looking in the crowd. They

195
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 5: got the boxer on the rope. They're doing the old

196
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 5: rope and dope with their hands. Oh look at us,

197
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 5: Oh look at me, pointing to the crowd. Let's get

198
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: everybody for Oh, I can't hear you, crowd. That's what

199
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: they were doing as a boxer. So you said they

200
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 5: should right after him. They think it should have gone

201
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 5: to the body more maybe more sure punch go straight

202
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 5: to the head and go straight to the face.

203
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: They should have knocked him out last night, there should

204
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: have been there was just a flat Dodger offense. I

205
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: again met you played Steve. You said it is a

206
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: hard game. Yeah, it is a very hard game. And

207
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: to ask somebody to go out and hit four underd

208
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: of the postseason not gonna happen.

209
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 5: I get it.

210
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: You fail more times than you succeed in baseball. You

211
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: go three for ten in any other sport, you go

212
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: three for ten in life, you're a failure. That's thirty

213
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: percent turn baseball. That could get you to Cooperstown as

214
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer if you do that consistently.

215
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 5: What if Tom Brady only completed three out of ten passes.

216
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: He'd be wouldn't be playing. Drew Bledsoe would have come

217
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: back and started for him for the New England Patriots,

218
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: and tom Brady wouldn't be Tom Brady that we know

219
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: him as today. This Dodgers team has got to figure

220
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: out a way. If you can't slug your way to

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: a win, which you can do with the best of

222
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: them because you're a great team offensively in the Dodgers, figure.

223
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 5: Out another way. Yeah, well they did. They did it

224
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 5: against the Phillies, they did it against the Brewers. There

225
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 5: wasn't Slugfest City. They found other ways, and I think

226
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: that's what we're looking at now, tim with possibly a

227
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 5: different person in center field, maybe more bat the ball

228
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 5: skills in contact. That's gonna be happening with Tommy Edman

229
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 5: at second base. But remember Tommy is kind of like

230
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 5: on that cuss sometimes, you know, because he can hit

231
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 5: a home run. He can hit a home run now,

232
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 5: and I think sometimes he's got to remember that those

233
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: home runs come by not trying to hit a home runs.

234
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: I want to see Tommy line the ball the other way,

235
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 5: and you know, if the if he hangs one, he

236
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: can jacket, that's fine, but he's a guy that needs

237
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 5: to put the ball in play.

238
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: If I'm watching this World series, you know what scares

239
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: me A Lajandro Kirk all five foot seven two and

240
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: forty five pounds of them. You know why, because he's

241
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: a deadly hitter. Because you know he's gonna poke the

242
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: ball the right field and sometimes it goes right at

243
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman on a line drive. But most times we've

244
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: seen him spray the ball the right field.

245
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 5: Oh we have two guys over there. I really would

246
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 5: And he.

247
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: Can also jacket a hi park that we've seen. But meanwhile,

248
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: Dodger come up, Andy Pai has his example, and all

249
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: I know is he's gonna he's gonna try to jacket

250
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: out of the park or he's swing out of his

251
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: shoes and gonna strike out. I love Mookie Betts, I do,

252
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 3: but if I see him pop up down the right

253
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: field line one more time, I'm gonna go crazy.

254
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

255
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's all he's done.

256
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, you know what Tim is just Yeah, because

257
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 5: of because of the perspective that I have, I can't

258
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 5: really rag on the players because I know how tough

259
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 5: it is, and I probably did it way worse than

260
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 5: they did, so I would just leave that there. However,

261
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: the fan in me is with you. I understand, hey

262
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 5: make an adjustment quick popping out to the right side.

263
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 5: D Yeah, okay. And until you've had a bat in

264
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 5: your hands and you go up there and you have

265
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 5: to see it and do it, it's a much different story.

266
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: But I get what you're talking about. You want to

267
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 5: see the approach change a little bit. That's what you

268
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 5: want to see. You can't guarantee that he's gonna do it,

269
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 5: but you want to see the approach change. I think

270
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 5: that's what you're looking at. I get it.

271
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: It's a hard sport and it's it's the best of

272
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: the best, and what they do nobody else could do

273
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: on the planet. I get that, But it just feels

274
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: like you're doing the same thing over and over again.

275
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: Your approach is the same thing over and over again,

276
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: hoping it's gonna change, Hoping you're gonna make a mistake

277
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: from the pitcher and you're gonna capitalize off it and

278
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: hit a three run home run, or you're gonna hit

279
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: a home run to get a back in the game.

280
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: You only got twenty seven outs. You can't at the

281
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: end of the game, which during the whole course of

282
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: a regular season, if you if you don't outslug a

283
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: team and that approach doesn't work and you lose a

284
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: game five to three OSS shocks. You know what, Hey,

285
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: we lost this game, but we got two more in

286
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: this series, and we feel good about how the way

287
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 3: we're playing, having what seven on the last nine, and

288
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: we look at this road trip as something we could

289
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: be still successful on. You know what, you don't have time.

290
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 3: You've got three games left. It's a best of seven series.

291
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 3: You got twenty seven outs to work with. That's it.

292
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 3: In a game twenty seven outs, you don't have OS shocks. Hey,

293
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: we drop this one. That's all right. We feel pretty

294
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: confident that over the long haul we're gonna beat a

295
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: team and grind him down. You know what the long

296
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: haul is now three games? You know, I don't like

297
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 3: this whole We'll figure it out. We'll get somebody there. Well, well,

298
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: well we'll go back to what we've done before. That

299
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: may work in June, July, and August over the course

300
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: of ninety games, but no, we're talking about a three

301
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: game series now, you know what you.

302
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 5: Know what I missed him? You know what I miss

303
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 5: I want to see the athleticism of somebody like shoey

304
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 5: O Tani or Mookie Betts. I want to see them

305
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: go from first to home on a ball that's hit

306
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: in the corner. I want to see the closing speed

307
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: on on on you know somebody that's in the outfield

308
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 5: that maybe it's call, maybe it's uh, you know whoever,

309
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 5: maybe it's Tommy Edmond. That's uh, well, he's gonna be

310
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: He'll probably be in Yeah, if he goes, he'll be

311
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: at center and then Rojask will be at second. I

312
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 5: want to see the closing speed of the outfield er

313
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 5: snare a line drive. I want to see those athletic

314
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 5: parts of the game that involve speed because we see

315
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 5: it on the other sides. The Dodgers have that on

316
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: their team, they absolutely have it. I want to see

317
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 5: that aggressiveness on a dirt ball, a ball that's it's

318
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: bounced in aller handl Kirk blocks the ball. I want

319
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 5: to seem challenge him to get up. We know we

320
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 5: can throw, but I want to see how quick a

321
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: foot he is to recover, get off the block and

322
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 5: go get the ball and throw somebody out. I want

323
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 5: to see him challenge that catcher in that manner.

324
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: So what you want to see is the Dodgers try

325
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: to change things up. You want to see a different

326
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 3: approach put on these guys because they can do it.

327
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 5: The Dodgers have some guys on the team that can

328
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: really run, I mean really run like Mookie and Showy.

329
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: Put it on display man, let me see it. He

330
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,400

00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:52,000

365
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: World Series tonight. So be listening for that. We got

366
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: a lot of great callers on hold, a lot of

367
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: great comments as well. Coming up on our YouTube pice.

368
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: Shoulday we went over a thousand people that were on YouTube. Yeah,

369
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 5: very cool, very exciting. We went from three hundred to

370
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 5: one thousand. I'll bet we hit two thousand today.

371
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: I think we will because it's it's a lot of

372
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: Dodger fans not happy yesterday. There was optimizing those calls too. Absolutely,

373
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: there was optimism. There was a lot of excitement, and

374
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 3: quite frankly, I don't want to hear about parade talk.

375
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 3: The next person who comes up to me and says,

376
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: when is the parade, I'm gonna Steve Sacks you, I'm

377
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: gonna turn around and walk away and not answer your question.

378
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 5: Oh So, what I'm feeling here, what I'm getting from you,

379
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 5: is you despise talking about parade this early, as much

380
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 5: as I despise the barista asking me what my plans

381
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 5: are and I'm a complete stranger.

382
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I despise it, especially when the Dodgers are playing

383
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: the way they are and the series is now tied

384
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: at two games apiece. If the Dodgers were up three

385
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: games to one, let's talk strategy, logistics. Let's talk parade

386
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: all you want, let's talk time, date, location. But until then,

387
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: let's not talk about it right now, because now we

388
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: find ourselves with the comeback kids from Canada, the Toronto

389
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: Blue Jays who have made this series tied two games

390
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: apiece and don't look now a must win Game five

391
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 3: And I might even going to throw out the number

392
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 3: because I said in the first hour, I don't want

393
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 3: to hear it. I don't want to hear the old

394
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: game five series tied at two in a best of

395
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: seven format. The team who won Game five is going

396
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 3: on to win.

397
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 5: Doesn't matter. Hey, you see on the probability graph here

398
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: that they have like on the window ability. Yeah, yeah,

399
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 5: the win probability have it on you know, you know

400
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 5: MLB network, They have it everywhere. That is the stupidest thing.

401
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: Then simply, well, the Blue Jays right now have a

402
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 5: seventy three point four percent chance of winning after something

403
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: so and so happened. Then the Dodgers come up and

404
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: hit a three yearning homer. Well, win probability for the

405
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 5: Dodgers are now eighty one point five percent. Yeah, because

406
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: they just hit a three run homer Jackalope, yeah, no,

407
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 5: I mean this the win probability. It's it's it's it's

408
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 5: stupid because it can change with one swing of the bat,

409
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 5: So I mean, really win probability. And how long, like

410
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 5: seven minutes that's how long it lasts? Yeah, or until

411
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 5: somebody else does something good. That's it's it's it's it's,

412
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 5: it's bogus.

413
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 3: It lasts until a Dodger hits a home run, until

414
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: Alejandro kirk Uh slaps the ball to Rice Field to

415
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 3: drive it another run for the Toronto Bilie Days. A

416
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: lot of great comments on the YouTube. The Dodgers offense

417
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: has not been good since June. I don't know about that.

418
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: I already knew this series would be a fight. Dodgers

419
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: in six eighteen inning hangover.

420
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 5: Well, whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa woa.

421
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear about teening hangover, and I

422
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: don't want to hear about Will.

423
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 5: The media was tired too.

424
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: I was at the ballpark until two am, filing reports.

425
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 5: I want to hear what's that nothing you mean? I

426
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: want to hear this is true, though, when nobody has

427
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: talked to about this, nobody has brought it up in

428
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 5: the media, Nobody in the press. We haven't brought it

429
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 5: up yet. I'm telling you it's real and nobody's brought

430
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 5: it up. What is it the element of luck?

431
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: Huh?

432
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 5: Because that matters.

433
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: Luck matters in the world.

434
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it matters, absolutely, And I know people will you

435
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 5: ask the players in the game if it matters, it matters.

436
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: Let me tell you one right now. I'll tell you

437
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 5: one right now that it's insignificant, but it could have

438
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: been significant. Tommy Edmonds makes a great play for ricochets

439
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: off Freddy's glove. Yep, what if Freddy is one eighth

440
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 5: of an inch higher and he makes that stab and whatever,

441
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 5: maybe he doubles up or whatever happens. But you see

442
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 5: what I'm saying is luck has something to do with

443
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: this and nobody's brought it up. Maybe it's a team

444
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 5: that has a stroke of luck that comes out and

445
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 5: it helps him. It matters, I promise it matters.

446
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 3: Well, how do you get luck? Can you buy it

447
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: at the store? How do we give some luck here?

448
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: You try to get in the way of it, You

449
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: stay in, you battle and you try to get in

450
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 5: its way and hopefully it'll grace you. I mean, I

451
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 5: I mean, ask any player, any player at all. How

452
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 5: much does luck have to play with it? Don't say

453
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 5: it matters and we have no control over that. You

454
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 5: really don't other than to get in the way of it.

455
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 3: I think that's what scares people is if it does,

456
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: it is scary. You can't get out of this series,

457
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 3: and you try as much as you can and try to.

458
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 5: Some of it you don't control, tim some of it

459
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 5: you do not control.

460
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you can spend all the money you want,

461
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: you can get the best players every position, you can

462
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: get all the talent draft.

463
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 5: And it's such a micro factor that you don't even

464
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,320

Speaker 5: don't we do a drippy runny whip cream. Thick and real,

527
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 5: thick and real. That's how we like it. Thick and real. Yeah,

528
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 5: it's uh, it's this is what we're excited about his

529
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 5: donuts this morning. I wish we were more excited about

530
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 5: a Dodger wind last night, Steve Sacks, but as it is,

531
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 5: the Dodgers' offense did not show up. The Dodgers could

532
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 5: not string together. It hits one of those nights yet

533
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 5: again that we've seen from the Dodgers, lack of offense,

534
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 5: and again it wasn't showy o'tany going out there and

535
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: getting touched up by the Toronto Blue Jays. He gave

536
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 5: up that home run to vlad Guerrero, but then put

537
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 5: up zeros until he came out of the game in

538
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 5: the seventh inning, and as much as we celebrated Steve

539
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 5: the Dodgers bullpen the night before in that eighteen inning

540
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: marathon two games in one spot. Last night, Anthony Bonde

541
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 5: got put in a tough situation with runners on and

542
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 5: nobody out, could not get the job done.

543
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: Played. Trenton came in, got some contact, run scored, and

544
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, what was a two to one

545
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 3: Blue Jays lead, and you felt like, maybe if they

546
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: can keep it there, the Dodgers still had what nine

547
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 3: to twelve outs to work with, they can get back

548
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: into it. But a four spot in the top of

549
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: the seventh inning did in the Dodgers to put him

550
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 3: up six to one. Then they got to run in

551
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 3: the bottom of the ninth inning, but too little, too late.

552
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: The offense gotta be better. I mean, we can't keep

553
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 3: harping on it, but we are. The offense needs to

554
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: be better and it has to be better tonight.

555
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they were outplayed. Okay, this is one of

556
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 5: the two best teams in the world. They got outplayed

557
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 5: one game. Okay, that's fine. You come back, you reset,

558
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 5: You maybe have a little bit of a different perspective

559
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 5: with centerfield and second base. The team is knowing that

560
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 5: this is the last opportunity to really get the fan

561
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 5: base on your side and go sometimes now you can

562
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 5: go into the other house and the negative fan base

563
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: towards your team can actually inspire the guys a lot.

564
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 5: I know when I played on the road and I

565
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: had everybody booing the hell out of me, especially in

566
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 5: San Francisco, man, I used to get jacked up. Okay,

567
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 5: that's good, So you could change the perspective. You can

568
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 5: use it to your advantage either way. We'll see how

569
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 5: they come out tonight.

570
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 3: And when they come out tonight, we expect a different

571
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: looking line dramatically different. No no, but Andy Pie has

572
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 3: I can't imagine he'll be in center field tonight for

573
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 3: the Dodgers based on what Dave Roberts said last night

574
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: postgame that he's gonna think about it, but do expect

575
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 3: some changes in that lineup for Game five tonight, and

576
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: quite frankly, and they need better production ahead of show Aotani,

577
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: and they need better production behind show Heyotani. What do

578
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: we mean the ninth spot? Andy Pie has has not

579
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 3: been productive behind Show Ayotani. When you walk him and

580
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: put him on base, the guy behind you needs to

581
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 3: make him pay and Mookie Betts has done a really

582
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: good job of that for the most part, but here

583
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: in this series he hasn't. And the guys been before

584
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 3: and behind show hey have not produced and really punished

585
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays for walking Showyotani. By walking O'tani, It's

586
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 3: actually benefited the Toronto Blue Jays because the Dodgers haven't

587
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: done anything to make them pay for that, and that's

588
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 3: been a benefit for Schneider and Toronto.

589
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 5: And that's the key. But hey, listen, Tim, I've seen

590
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 5: it too many times. You know how baseball is. It

591
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 5: goes in cycles, it goes in waves. Things don't always

592
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 5: stay the same as they say. The worm will turn,

593
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 5: you know, in a three game series, we'll find out,

594
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 5: really now who's the better team, and it will put

595
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: it on It will be evident because it's been a

596
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 5: flip of the coin, a jump ball, if you will,

597
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 5: for these first four games. So we're gonna see how

598
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 5: the team responds, how they come back. Take the information

599
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 5: that they've had from the first four games, put that impute,

600
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 5: all that knowledge in there, and let's see what happens

601
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: now and how that comes out the other end. But

602
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 5: I think the Dodgers will have a couple of surprises

603
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 5: for him.

604
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: A lot of great comments on YouTube. Of course, you

Speaker 3: l A Sports Jason, good morning, what are your thoughts

635
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 3: on this Dodgers team? No offense? Game five tonight? They

636
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: need snell Zilla at the baddest way right now.

637
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 8: Good morning, guys, Thanks for taking my call again. I

638
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 8: called you guys on Friday and you guys asked me

639
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 8: what I thought the key was, and at the time,

640
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 8: you know, I said pitching. But we've been getting what

641
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 8: we need from our pictures. That offense is not clicking.

642
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 8: Exactly what you guys say, just you know, echoing that

643
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 8: Otani can't do it himself. You know, it sucks that

644
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 8: every time he has an opportunity to have somebody on base,

645
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 8: hies is just either swinging at whatever he can or

646
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 8: not trying to take the walk. And you know that's

647
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 8: that's why they pitch the way they pitched to Latana.

648
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 8: You know, Bieber didn't give him anything to hit yesterday.

649
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 8: And I love MOOKI I love him. I got a

650
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 8: lot of love for him. But he needs to, you know,

651
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 8: get it going. You know it's it's gonna be game five,

652
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 8: last game in la This is this is a must win.

653
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 8: We you know, can't go back to Toronto down.

654
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 3: No, this is a this is absolutely a must win, Jason.

655
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: You cannot go back to Toronto down three games to

656
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: two and needing to win both games. You got to

657
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: put yourself in the best situation in which that means

658
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: win tonight and now'll have to win one of two

659
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 3: in Toronto with Yamamoto going and possibly Glass now combination

660
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: with Otani in game seven. That is the best case scenario,

661
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 3: and it has to be has to be the situation

662
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: the Dodgers put themselves in going into the possibility of

663
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 3: a six and seven in Toronto.

664
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 5: Monster game tonight, Tim this is this is actually it's

665
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 5: it's obviously the biggest game of the year right tonight.

666
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 5: Every time you know you have a game that's the biggest.

667
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: One, do the do do the players know?

668
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 5: Of course, of course, of course they do. It's listen,

669
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 5: if they don't win, it's not the end of the world.

670
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 5: They can still go back and yeah, they can still

671
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 5: go back and win two. But obviously their work is

672
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 5: really cut out for him in that light. It's it's

673
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 5: it's momentum building. It's all that. Going back to Toronto

674
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 5: if they win this game tonight, and it might be

675
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 5: good for these guys to really blow them out. I

676
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 5: mean one of these ten ten to one games, you know,

677
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 5: one of these like this where you know, the offense

678
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 5: is start starting to click and you know Tommy Edmund

679
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 5: hits two in the gap and Otani's racing from from

680
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 5: home to first, I mean from first to home and

681
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 5: you put all that speed on display, and you know,

682
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 5: Blake Snow goes out there and just shove. I mean

683
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: a game like that where they just dominate them. That's great.

684
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: Going back to Toronto, let's squeeze in another call before

685
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,160

00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 4: The baton. We gotta stop trying to be what we're

692
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 4: not hitting home runs and pass the baton. Work the count,

693
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: get on base, grind out hits like your golf, and

694
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 4: don't try to hit the ball far. Just just make

695
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: contact and you'll get home runs. You got a year

696
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,520

00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 9: Snail's gonna pitch great, and I think the hitting's gonna

700
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 9: be there. And in a game six you got Yamamola

701
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 9: for eight nine. And you know in game seven Roberts

702
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 9: is going with Otani.

703
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 4: So I like where we're at. We're gonna shorten this

706
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 4: So we got three games. We gotta take care of business.

707
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 4: If you would have told me to begin, you got

708
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: three games to win a World Series, I think we'd

709
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 4: be up for with this team, and with this team

710
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,400

Speaker 4: those games in Toronto. We're the champions. Remember that we

719
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 4: are the champions. They got to take it from us.

720
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 4: We're not gonna just give it up to them. You know,

721

00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 5: That's what I want to hear. I don't want to

728
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 5: hear none of the negative parts. Kevin put it in perspective. Yeah,

729
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 5: and that's a very viable perspective that Kevin just laid out.

730
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: Great job, Kevin. Somehow we gotta get him into the

731

732
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,000

Speaker 3: I love that.

776
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 5: That's a good one.

777
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Americanos from Jetty in South l a. Are amazing.

778
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 3: All right, we're gonna rejoin everybody on the radio. I'm

Speaker 3: gonna enjoy this rest of the don I'm gonna petro

780
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 3: kill this donut. Petros is a verb for eating something

781
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 3: really big, really fast.

782
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,600

Speaker 3: commercial ranks, we flip over, talk to everything, talk.

787
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 5: About about half of that donut in the final ten seconds,

788
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 5: I can shoot it.

789
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't chew. I just completely swallowed it, which

790
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: is not good. But uh, you know, talking donuts, we're talking.

791
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 5: Uh how would Petros handle that?

792
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: Well?

793
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: He would have just you know, one bite the whole

794
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 3: donut down the bullet.

795
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. Wow.

796
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: I've seen him eat a bean and sheese burrito and

797
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 3: two bites, just one bite half the other bite the other.

798
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: He's pretty big man, Yeah, but he's slender now. He

799
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: does the whole yoga seven days a week.

800
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 5: And no, I don't mean fat. I know he's he's

00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 5: he's a he's a big dude. Yeah, big dude, big dude.

802
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 5: He can't fat at all.

803
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 3: He eats a beat and cheese breedle like a five

804
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 3: year old.

805
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,160

Speaker 3: You got a booming voice as well, Steve, And hopefully

809
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are going to hear your voice and our voice.

810
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 3: Uh tonight with Game five of this world series, don't

Speaker 3: joining us now, he is the best insider out there.

818
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to head back to Toronto. But that's okay.

819
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: The Dodgers will have a chance to win the World

820
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: Series in Toronto, as they are now tied up in

821
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: two games apiece Game five tonight with Blake Snell on

822
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 3: the mount, first pitch at five o eight game Good morning, No,

823
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 3: how you doing.

824
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: Buddy, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Getting ready to

825
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: pack here so I'm ready to go tomorrow morning to

826
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: head back to Canada.

827
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: Dave, we heard Canada.

828
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 3: We heard your reports this morning. We heard you talking

829
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: last night as well, and Dave Roberts said, yeah, I'll

830
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: think about it, and uh yeah, i'll uh most likely

831
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 3: make some changes to that lineup for Game five. What

832
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 3: do you expect the change or changes to be tonight

833
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: in this Dodgers lineup?

834
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: Well, the biggest one would be to decide whether they

835
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 2: continue with Andy Pohs in center field. I mean, that's

836
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 2: really the only lineup change you could consider that would

837
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 2: be of any significance, because you're not gonna you know,

838
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: I think it would be a sign of panic if

839
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 2: the Dodgers dropped Mookie Bets down in the lineup. I

840
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: know he's struggling, but I kind of just feel like

841
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have to make a decision on what they

842
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 2: valued the most in Game five tonight, whether or not

843
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 2: it's you know, the defense of Andy Pohes or deciding

844
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: whether or not they should move Tommy Edmund to center

845
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: field or possibly even bench Tommy Edmund, who's had some

846
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: poor at bats in the first four games of this

847
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 2: World Series, and you know they're gonna be facing a

848
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 2: right handed pitcher tonight. You Savage, who at times can

849
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: be kind of one of those those right handed pitchers

850
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 2: like Bieber last night. That's stuff on lefties. He is

851
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 2: against righties. We saw Tommy Edmund face him in Game

852
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 2: one from the right side instead of the left side.

853
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 2: But really, to me, it's a simple it's a simple switch.

854
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond goes to center field. Miguel Rojas plays second

855
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 2: base and hits ninth, and you got a guy that

856
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 2: understands what the role is, what is necessary at the

857
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: bottom of that order. Because that's what Gavin Lux did

858
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: so well last year getting on base. He wasn't flashy.

859
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: He would get on bass, he would hit a ball

860
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: through the right side of the infield. He just understood

861
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 2: who he was. And right now the Dodgers are not

862
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: turning that lineup over show. Heyo Tani is coming up

863
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 2: with the basses empty time and time again, which makes

864
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 2: it a lot easier for the Blue Jays to pitch

865
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 2: to him or even intentionally walk him.

866
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 5: Dave, good to be with you today. Just so you know, Dave,

867
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 5: we got a really good picture of you up on

868
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 5: the screen right now of getting I guess you're doing

869
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 5: some kind of a report. You're looking good there, Dave.

870
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 5: I tell you, this is a really good picture. You

871
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 5: got to see it. I wish you could see this

872
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 5: right now, but I have no no, no, it's a

873
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 5: good picture of you. I guarantee you. It's a very

874
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 5: professional picture of you in front of the cameray. I

875
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 5: gotta ask you, this is more of a comment. This

876
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 5: is more of a comment. I just want to see

877
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 5: your reaction to what you have to say about this.

878
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be really rare that that you

879
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 5: see a Blake Snell come out and repeat what he

880
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 5: did before where he just didn't pitch bad, but he

881
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,479
Speaker 5: had some fits and starts with his control. I think

882
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 5: that is past him now. Everybody can have a day

883
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 5: like that. That's number one. I think the Blue Jays

884
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 5: are in for a little bit into a different bent

885
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 5: on on the pitching side of it with Blake Snell.

886
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 5: And secondly, the Dodger offense really has had a really

887
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 5: good look at you, Savage. Now he can he can

888
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 5: get in trouble with his control as well. He doesn't

889
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 5: have the experience that a Blake Snell has. I think

890
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 5: you're looking at a divergence of two different pictures right here,

891
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 5: and I think the advantage goes to the Dodgers.

892
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm with you, Steve. I believe the Dodgers win this game.

893
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: It would have been ideal for them to win last

894
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: night's game. I know a lot of people around baseball

895
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: were texting me they couldn't believe the Blue Jays actually

896
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: stole that game from the Dodgers. But Blake told me

897
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago that you know, he just

898
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 2: wasn't feeling one hundred percent right with his mechanics in

899
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: Game one, and he feels a lot more confident that

900
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: he's going to have better fastball command tonight in Game

901
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: five and just be more of himself. So I have

902
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 2: no doubt Blake Snell is going to deliver. And look,

903
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: it's not just about the pitching, Steve, It's really about

904
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 2: the Dodger offense. I have no doubts Blake's going to

905
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: handle himself. But the Dodger offense has only scored three

906
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: runs in their last twenty innings. Wow, they got to

907
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 2: score some runs. And it sounded like Dave Roberts was

908
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 2: a little envious of the Blue Jays approach last night

909
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 2: because he said they were grinders. They used the entire field,

910
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: they made contact. That's not the identity of his team,

911
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 2: and we haven't seen that all postseason long. The Dodgers

912
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: are winning for a three run home run seemingly every game.

913
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 5: Dave, you mentioned it.

914
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 3: You know, Poz not producing, but behind Otani Mookie Betts

915
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 3: in this world series, zero RBIs what three for nineteen.

916
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,959
Speaker 3: I believe he is in this world series, He's got

917
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 3: to be more productive. We saw during the regular season

918
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: when they didn't want any part of Otani, Mooki made

919
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 3: him pay a lot of the times in that next

920
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 3: to bat He's gotta be better or else that walk

921
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: of Otani doesn't really do anything.

922
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also it makes them pitch Otani more aggressively

923
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: knowing they got Muki Muki behind him. And look, Muki

924
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: is a great player, but the fact is he he

925
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: needs to be more than just another guy on this team.

926
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 2: And going back to the Championship series, he is just

927
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 2: five for his last thirty four. He only has one

928
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: Xtra Basic. He hasn't driven in a run since the NLDS,

929
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: So they need him. They need Mookie Bets to be

930
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 2: a real factor the rest of this World series. And

931
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: you know, I think he just has to enjoy the

932
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 2: moment and not put so much pressure on himself considering

933
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 2: how many guys he has around him. I'm not seeing

934
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 2: the joy of Mookie Bets right now. And when he's

935
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: not enjoying the moment and playing the game with that

936
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 2: type of freeness freed up, he puts too much pressure

937
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 2: on himself. And hopefully somebody can get into his ear.

938
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 2: I know when things kind of click for him. The

939
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: last fifty games of the regular season, JD. Martinez helped

940
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 2: him with the hitting, and his wife Brianna kind of

941
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: got his psyche in the right spot, just told him

942
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: to enjoy the game. And really that's when this season

943
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 2: turned around. So hopefully that can happen again. Can we

944
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: get JD. Martinez on a bird to Canada. I think

945
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: nobody should do that. Get Jad Martinez off the fishing

946
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: boat and get him to Canada as a p.

947
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, gotcha, gotcha, Dave. Hey, you know what else I'm

948
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 5: I'm looking at too, is the element of speed, Dave.

949
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 5: This team has so many great ways to beat you.

950
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 5: The Dodgers. Look at they got past the They got

951
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 5: best the Phillies without hitting home runs. They got past

952
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays, or excuse me, the Brewers that had

953
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 5: the most wins of anybody in baseball. I want to

954
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 5: see some speed on display. I want to see some

955
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 5: some testing the ability of Alejandro kirk to get off

956
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 5: of the off off of the you know, his haunches

957
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 5: and go get a ball that he just blocked. I

958
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 5: know he can throw, but how good is he getting

959
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 5: off of that belly and going to getting the ball

960
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 5: and throw into second base. I want to see him

961
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 5: challenge this guy and make that happen. Get in the

962
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 5: way of some luck that's coming your way, and do

963
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 5: it with speed.

964
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 2: I would love that. See if somebody could get on

965
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: base right.

966
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 5: Oh, Dave, do you see what I'm saying. I I mean,

967
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 5: I want to see Ben, you got to put runners

968
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 5: in motion to create Uck's gonna matter. It's gonna matter.

969
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 5: Luck is gonna come into it. And the way you

970
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,280
Speaker 5: get into it to have that happen is you haven't

971
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 5: hit you in the face. You just got to get

972
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 5: in its way. And speed has a way of doing that.

973
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: I'm with you. The Dodgers don't really have a lot

974
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: of individual speed, but they have team speed. They're really

975
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: good at going first to third. I thought maybe an

976
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: opportunity to put runners in motion was first and second,

977
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: one out last night in the sixth inning, where the

978
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: Dodgers had Munsey and Edmund coming up, and they had

979
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 2: runners at first and second and one out. When your

980
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 2: offense is struggling, you've got to do things, as you

981
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 2: know Steve, to try to open up some holes and

982
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 2: create something. But monthly flied out and Tommy Edman struck out,

983
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure how well that would have worked.

984
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: I thought that was the key inning and a great

985
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 2: opportunity once they got deeper on the ropes and out

986
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: of the game. I just couldn't believe that Max months

987
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 2: he swung it the first stitch against Mason flue Hardy

988
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 2: when he just came into the game. That was just

989
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: not like him.

990
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 3: Dave, we appreciate you jumping on this morning. Enjoy your

991
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 3: cup of coffee from wherever it may be this morning,

992
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:11,439
Speaker 3: and we'll.

993
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,439
Speaker 2: I'm going to La La Land for coffee my col

994
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: brew today.

995
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, Dave. This picture of you I just alluded to,

996
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 5: is you sitting in front of the camera and you

997
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 5: have a cast on your arm. You have from Milwaukee, Dave,

998
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 5: this line, it's a sentimental look, and I think we

999
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 5: had to sell it. Send it to snell Zilla and

1000
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 5: let you get some sentimental love from your bromate.

1001
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: I love that I gave snell Villa a pep talk

1002
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 2: the other day. He'll be ready. Don't worry about snell Villa.

1003
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 2: Get those bats woken up and get these freaking fans

1004
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: on their feet. If you're showing up tonight. I don't

1005
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: want to see Esta at Dodger Stadium. I want to

1006
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 2: be loud and proud.

1007
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 5: Good advice right there, good advice.

1008
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 3: Thanks David Grace today.

1009
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 5: Okay, thank you, David. I love it. He's right one

1010
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 5: and only. Hey, you know what I noticed. I think

1011
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 5: what he was couching in his description. I've talked to

1012
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 5: snell Zella. I think there was maybe a shoulder rub

1013
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 5: in there to relax and have a nice conversation.

1014
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 3: Well hopefully not on the left shoulder, because that's the

1015
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: throwing shoulder. The last week you want is like, you know,

1016
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 3: pinching something and yeah, no, but but I.

1017
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 5: Think there was some you know, I think it was good.

1018
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 5: I think it all worked out.

1019
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 3: I think sky Felix brings up a great point. The

1020
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 3: fans will get on their feet if the team performs.

1021
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 3: Got to give him something to get on their feet. Four.

1022
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 3: He's right, you can't ask fifty thousand people to get

1023
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 3: you motivated to win a game. You better come and

1024
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 3: motivate yourself and use the crowd to take it to

1025
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 3: the next level.

1026
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 5: Well, what I'm glad about is he did guarantee snell

1027
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 5: Zella performance tonight. So that's good.

1028
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,959
