1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: We've got Dodgers broadcaster and former Big leaguer Jerry Harrison

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Junior joining us right now. He's always on the postgame

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: pregame on Sports at LA. Jerry, great to see you, man.

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: What do you think of these first two games here

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers against what many looked at as maybe

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: the top team or at least the top three team

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: in the sport.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, listen, I would be lying to you if

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: I said I knew going into the Dodgers would take

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: the first two games in Philadelphia. As you guys are

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: well aware, you know that's Philadelphia is a tough place

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: to play, let alone win. And for the Dodgers to

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: go out there and take the first two games on

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: the road in Philadelphia, it's a little surprising. But you know,

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: this Dodger team, they're defending World Series champions. They played

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: in houstel environments before, and they played great baseball. When

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: you get great starting pitcher, not good great starting pitching

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers. They put themselves in position to win

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: these ball games, and they're very fortunate coming up home

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: two oh and have a chance to close out the

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: series in La.

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: Do we see an actual bullpen pitcher come out of

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: the bullpen for the Dodgers the restless series. After what

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: we saw last night from VESSI end Trinan, Well.

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Listen, you know, first, Alex Vestris put in a tough situation.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: You know, he was definitely put in a tough situation,

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: did the best he could. He's been outstanding the entire season.

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: Blake Trianon is an absolute warrior. He's a Dodgers legend.

29
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: We don't win the World Series last year without Blake Trining.

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: He's battled through some injuries this year. But to really

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: answer your question, I think we all were a little

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: surprised that Rookie Sazaki didn't get the ball in the

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: ninth inning up the runs to really close out the

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: Phillies there too. Oh, I was surprised. I know a

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: lot of people were surprised. I will say this, I

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: think moving forward, I think it's pretty clear that rookie

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: Sazaki is to die closer. I think if they're in

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: a similar situation to close out Game three, I think

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: you're to see Rookie Kazaki take them mound.

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: But you know, listen, the Dodger bullpen.

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: Everybody understands that it hasn't been their strength, and that's

42
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: why they've added guys like Tinder a Glass now put

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: him in the pens shee and did an outstanding job

44
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: last last night. And you see Clayton Kershaw in the

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: bullplin as well. So it's the post needs demand. Whatever

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: you need to do to close out games, to win

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: ball games, you're gonna do.

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: Do you feel like maybe Dave Roberts wasn't one hundred

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: percent sure of rookie in that moment, that's why he

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: didn't make him start the ninth inning? Do you feel

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 3: like it was the matchups because they had the off day,

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 3: It wasn't the fact that, wow, he was a starter

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: all year. I know he's coming off the injury. We

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: don't know if he's gonna be able to bounce back.

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: There seems like a level of uncertainty from what I

56
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: watch and what I see, And then when they don't

57
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 3: bring him out in the ninth I'm like, why would

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: they not go to him? So I was in your camp.

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's a great question. I think that was

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: the very first question.

61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts was asked in his press conference after the game,

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: and he said, listen, I have belief in Blake Trining.

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: You know, he said that he wanted him, you know,

64
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 2: go out there and get those three outs, just showing

65
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: confidence in him. But just seeing his facebal expression, I

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: think he knew, you know what, maybe I should have

67
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: went to rookie.

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: Now. He did also say that, you know.

69
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: He didn't want to overwork rookiees aazaki Biss because this

70
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: is a new role for him. It'll be the second

71
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: time he's pitched in three days. But I will say this,

72
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: he's built up like a starter. He was injured majority

73
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: of the year, so he's fresh, and he's also young.

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: And when you're young and you're in the postseason, you're

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: going through so much adrenaline. You know, those innings aren't

76
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: really going to add up. So, like I said, they

77
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: have the day off today. If they're in that position,

78
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: Hopefully the Dodgers are in that position tomorrow night and

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: they got a chance to close out the Phillies.

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 4: If they're in that position, I have a really good

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 4: feeling rookies Zaki will be will be in that position

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: to close out the game.

83
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's been, He's been absolutely lights out. I want

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 5: to talk about tasker Hernandez a little bit. This guy

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 5: just seems like playoffs come around, he just absolutely finds

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: a way to get the job done. The opposite field,

87
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 5: home run, the base. It's like this guy is absolutely unbelievable.

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 5: They talk about, you know, the ball in the gap,

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: not running out the first base, but I think the

90
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 5: way he's been hitting the ball, I think you'll take

91
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: that as you move forward.

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: Rise of a young guy I played with years ago.

93
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: He's come up to the system with the reds light

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: tower power named Todd Frazier.

95
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if you want part of him.

96
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: Uh Frase could hit the ball out of the ballpark anywhere,

97
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: right field, right center, dead center, doesn't matter. Taskar Nanas

98
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: has that type of power. And listen, you know this

99
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: season and a lot of people aren't aware, especially guys

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: are on Dodger fans. Taskar Nandas was battling through some

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: growing issues and it kind of kind of got up

102
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: to which is abdomen and he really couldn't fire his hands,

103
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: fire his hips to the baseball, so he didn't have

104
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 2: the season he would have lights. But we know on

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: the once he's close to one hundred and then the

106
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: bell rings of the postseason, he's that dude loves the

107
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: bright lights, loves to be in those situations, wants the guy,

108
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: wants to be the guy with the bat in his hands,

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: to be a difference maker at the plate. And it's

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: no surprise to us that he's come up clutch, come

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 2: up huge, not just this postseason but last year as well.

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: And another guy you know because they call him the

113
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: Hernandez Brothers, Keithy Aaron Nanis. It's no secret to us

114
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 2: he's a difference maker in the postseason. He just lights

115
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: up when the bright lights are on. And the postseasons here, uh.

116
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: Those two guys man Keik and the taskar Man. Those

117
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: guys have been clutched in the postseason so far. We

118
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: expect him to continue to play well because we're going

119
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: to desperately need him If this team's gonna repeat.

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: The best hitter with the runnings and scoring position would

121
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: be clutch and that's Will Smith. Has Will Smith rehabbed

122
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 3: enough in the in the NLDS against Big League Baseball

123
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: teams to say, Okay, we're starting in game in Game three.

124
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I've never seen anything like it. The guy's

125
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 3: not healthy enough to start. He's one of your clutch hitters.

126
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: And yet he's played half the game. So are they

127
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: just building him up? Are they going to have like

128
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: an inning where they roll it over to so it's

129
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: like spring training.

130
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 4: You know, I haven't seed it either.

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing, And I will say this, Ben

132
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: Urtvett has done an incredible job behind the plate calling pitches,

133
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: and he had that rapport with the starting pitchers. So

134
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have had that luxury to be able to

135
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: be able to slow play Will Smith to make sure

136
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: he's near or close to one hundred percent, and they

137
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: can use Will Smith as that weapon, you know, like

138
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: they did in game one and obviously in game two

139
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: when he came out off the bench and you know,

140
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: got in the game and had a huge two run same.

141
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: So I have a feeling, you know, now that they

142
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: work Will Smith in I think he's going to be

143
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: a starter Game three. But if not, they have confidence

144
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: in Ben Wartville because he does a great job calling

145
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: the game just like Will Smith. But listen, Will Smith

146
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: is a difference maker, as we all know, with the bat,

147
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 2: also with the arm. You know, he has a rocket

148
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: of an arm. It's very accurate. He really kind of

149
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: slows down the running game as well. So I'm hoping

150
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: Will Smith is back in the lineup in game three

151
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: because anytime you're dealing with that throwing hand, having that

152
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: little fracture in his hand.

153
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: It could be an issue.

154
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: So hopefully he's healthy enough to start, because we all

155
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: know that Will Smith is an absolutely difference maker in

156
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:40,640

179
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the biggest play that happened

180
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: yesterday on the wheel play bunt. I want to first,

181
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: I want to get to know what if you've heard

182
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 5: anything about what they do and their bunt plays and seconds.

183
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 5: As an infielder well as a hitter, you're supposed to

184
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 5: bunt the ball third base. You want that third baseman

185
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 5: to come through and attack the ball, which which is

186
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 5: what you're ultimately trying to get out of him. They

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 5: just did it to perfection. The bunt went to third base.

188
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, I'm just drawing a blank. Who

189
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 5: is at third base? Gott It makes the play, throws

190
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: the ball to third and Moki. I felt like Mooki

191
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 5: was the separation from him and Castianos wasn't even that

192
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 5: far away, and then he just took off.

193
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 4: It was the perfect play.

194
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: I thought the bunt was perfect, don't get me wrong,

195
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: but I think the execution of the Dodgers was a

196
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 5: lot better.

197
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: You know that phrase. You're exactly right. You know, I'm

198
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: going to take the Philly side. You know, this is

199
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 2: a really good butt, Scott is You're taught to deaden

200
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: the ball towards third base, which he does.

201
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: It's a really good butt by Scott. But here's the thing.

202
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 4: Teams don't really practice.

203
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: Bunt plays anymore because a lot of teams don't bunt anymore.

204
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: This is not like, you.

205
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: Know, fifteen years ago, when you have the picture bunning

206
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: and you have this wheel play, you have so many

207
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: different plays to defend the bunt.

208
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 4: This all happened because of Mookie Bets.

209
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: When they all got on them mount Mookie said, you

210
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: know what, all the momentum has gone towards the Phillies.

211
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: We got to make sure we cut down that runner

212
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: at third base if and when they do bunt, because

213
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: if he gets a third base less than two outs,

214
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: they tie the ball game up, and then now all

215
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: the momentum goes to the Philadelphia Phillies.

216
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: So that was really Mookie Betts saying, hey, let's just

217
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: make this play happen. Let's do it.

218
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: Max Munky does an incredible job crashing as well as

219
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman, you know, for us, and you know this phrase.

220
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 4: You want him to bun.

221
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: It towards first because now the first base from Freddy

222
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: Freeman of Oh Glover, He's got a clear look to

223
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 2: third base. So Scott does the right thing, bunch it

224
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 2: and dends it towards third base. But Max Munsey really

225
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: makes that play because he crashes hard and he's almost

226
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 2: on top of him when he makes that play, and

227
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: he fires an absolute stripe moving target in Mooki Bets

228
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: and able to apply the tag. And I will say this,

229
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts showed the crash late that is so important

230
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: for a shortstop.

231
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: And see him break.

232
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: He's breaking after the pitch is practically released. So now

233
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: as a hitter, because as a hitter, if I'm up

234
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: at the plate like Stott, I'm seeing the shortstop break

235
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: and once I see the shortstop break, then I'm gonna

236
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: slash because Mookie Bess did it so late and he's

237
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: so fast going over there. Stops, That's okay, he's not

238
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 2: they're not doing the will play. I'll just execute the

239
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: bunch with which he does. So Mookie Bets is really

240
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: the one who set up that play. Because he broke

241
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: to the bag of late. The attention to detail, man,

242
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: was so perfect, and I want I want to say

243
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: another thing. Mookie applies a tag after Freddy Freeman knows

244
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: that that ball is not coming to him. Freddy Freeman

245
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 2: makes a bee line towards second base to make sure

246
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: second base is covered and that way stop doesn't go

247
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: from first to second base. It was a well executed

248
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: bump play, something that I would expect the nineteen nineties

249
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: type of teams to execute, but these guys executed perfection

250
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: and they don't practice that play that just goes to

251
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: show their baseball IQ And it.

252
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: Was just so well run. Man. It was really fun

253
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: to see so.

254
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: Well run you forgot the fact that the dude's got

255
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: six gold gloves at another position, Like it's like it's

256
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: really his first full season playing it. It's like, yeah,

257
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: you know what, guys out here in this wiffleball game,

258
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: we're gonna go do this. Let's go to the end

259
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: of the game, Tommy Edmonds throw one. Has this been

260
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: something that you've seen? Is it something that going forward?

261
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: Has there been some like eh?

262
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: No? And two?

263
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: Does Freddy get overlooked at first base because of what

264
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 3: he does. You just said it on him covering second

265
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: base because he hits so well and he's kind of

266
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: like stiff looking. Does he get overlooked at first base?

267
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 4: I think maybe naturally he made good overlooked.

268
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: I have the luxury to see these guys play every

269
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: single night. And I remember when when Freddie Freeman signed

270
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers, David Ross, who's the manager with the

271
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: Cubs of the time we played together with the Reds,

272
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: he said, Man, I'm telling you he's a baseball player.

273
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: He's going to be the best base runner you've ever seen.

274
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: I've never seen a.

275
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: Guy go first to third or first to home better

276
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: than Freddy Freeman. The angles he takes and he was

277
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: right incredible base runner as well. But on the defensive side,

278
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: you mentioned he's the goal glover for a reason. He

279
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: saves so many throws in the dirt, makes it making

280
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: it look easy saving his infielders. And listen, as a

281
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: former infielder myself, third, short and second, sometimes you're.

282
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 4: Not going to get the best grips on the baseball.

283
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: You got to be able to fire it over there

284
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: and pray that your first base and can pick you

285
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: up on the Timmy Edmund throw. I have never seen

286
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmund make a bad throw ever at shortstop, third base,

287
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: and at second base.

288
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: He's a goal glover of second base. One.

289
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: The only thing I can think of is when he

290
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 2: had the ball, he didn't have the best grip, and

291
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: as an infielder, sometimes you start to get your grip

292
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: on the FLYO. Okay, as I'm going back, then I'll

293
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: find the grip and now be able to throw. He

294
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: didn't have the grip and he knew guess who was running,

295
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: Trey Turner flying down the line, and he said, God,

296
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: I just got to get it over there, and he

297
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: threw it over there, and fortunately for all of us, Freddy.

298
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 4: Freeman was able to pick him up.

299
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 2: But no, I have never seen Tommy had to make

300
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: a bath throw. That probably the only bad throw I'll

301
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 2: ever see him make, because he is so fundamentally sound

302
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: and is so accurate with his throws.

303
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: Jerry Philadelphia is on fire right now on one because

304
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: they're about to be eliminated.

305
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: Two.

306
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: Aaron Nola is pitching. He is starting the game tomorrow.

307
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: Philly fans are like, why, from a Dodgers point of view,

308
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: look at the Philly decision to pitch Aaron Nola. Do

309
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: you feel like that gives them an advantage because of

310
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: how they've struggled against left handers early in this series,

311
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 3: and now, to me, their biggest their their biggest linch

312
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: pin in the lineup is Max Munsey. He gets to start,

313
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: but then he's got a face lefty. So from a

314
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 3: Dodgers standpoint, do you go who I'm licking my chops?

315
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: We might get two or three off of Nola before

316
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: they can even pull them.

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: Listen, I understand the Philly fans. I get it why

318
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: they feel like they just dropped two at home. Like

319
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier, it is a tough place to play there,

320
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: and for the Dodgers to steal a game, Uh, then

321
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: steal two, that's huge on the flip side. And I'm

322
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: just gonna kind of reiterate with Max, Max Mounsey said

323
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: last night. Also, Mookie Betts, Listen, you don't take anything

324
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: for granted. This is the Phillies team. Veteran players on

325
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: that team. You have world champions like Kyle Schwarber, world

326
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: champion like Trade Turn as well, guys that are veteran

327
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: guys that aren't going to be rattled by going into

328
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: Dodger State. They're very familiar with that ballpark, so I'm

329
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: sure they're going to go out there and make sure

330
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: they put their best foot forward. And you're gonna have

331
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: to play the Dodgers are They're gonna have to play

332
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: their best game. They're not gonna roll over. That team

333
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: is not going to roll over. And to really answer

334
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: your question, I think manager Rob Thompson is trying to

335
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: give them a different look.

336
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: We've faced two lefties.

337
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: You throw the right hander out like kind of like

338
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: you kind of reiterated with Nola, and maybe he gets

339
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: you three or four strong innings and possibly I have

340
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: a feeling maybe Ranger Schwarz comes in after him to

341
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: piggyback him when you have your left handed hitters already

342
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: in the lineup for the Dodgers, So listen, I know

343
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: there's always a cat and mouse game, but their backs

344
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: are against the wall. I think everybody's gonna be available

345
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: for the Phillies and they're a desperate team and they're

346
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: just thinking, hey, if we just get Game one. Then

347
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: the first game at Dodger State, which is games read,

348
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: all the pressure really shipped back to the Dodgers in

349
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: Game four, because they know they don't want to go

350
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: back to Philly for Game five, So there's still pressure

351
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: on the Dodgers, pressure on both sides. You just got

352
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: to play good baseball, man, and hopefully with a Dodger's shake,

353
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: they continue to playing baseball and really push put this

354
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: veteran Phillies team away.

355
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: Jerry, great stuff. Really good to see you. I loved

356
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: your quick analysis on Todd father at one point to

357
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: the pop to hall Field. You got him going, man,

358
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: you got him flexing, taught him that?

359
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 4: Who do you think taught him that when he was

360
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 4: coming up? I was at the Reds who taught him?

361
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 4: That's right? Hey, I'm waiting.

362
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: The only the only difference I used your brother's bat

363
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 5: from the Marouchie Back Company. Not You're sorry, big Doll,
