Speaker 1: are going back to back, two time champions in a row.

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: What is going on?

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Dodgers Territory famine? All time classic. We all just witnessed,

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: my sweet lord. Too many heroes to name in this one.

6
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Miguel Rojas, Will Smith, the Dodger scratch and

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: clawed their way back, and they are going back to back,

8
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: two time champions in a row.

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 2: Joining me today.

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: my pal. This guy played for both of these teams.

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: That is Chicken Strip himself rous strippling joining us here

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: on Dodgers Territory.

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: He does. He's the proud owner of a ring. You know.

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if a proud owner.

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: But he has a ring at least as a Los

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: Angeles Dodger. And Strip stand up late for us to

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,840

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Fox Swan Ross.

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: What a ball game?

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: What a ball game? Clint, Good to see you. Thanks

22
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: for having me. Happy to talk about this series at length.

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean too, am I h you know? Probably the

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: teams I think of myself in the most and you

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: know they lived up to the high going seven games

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: and then a couple extra means to to get a finale. Man,

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: thanks sweet lord or whatever you said when you walked in.

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: That was amazing. Yeah, that was that was awesome.

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean to say this game had a bit of everything.

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: Would I think it's under selling the game. One thing

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: it didn't have was a lot of the Dodger bullpen

33
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: for a reason, they have been, respectfully speaking, asked for

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: most of this series, and Dave was like, no, you

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: are not touching at baseball. You were not touching a baseball.

36
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: You ride and die with Yoshi Nobu Yamamoto.

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: Strip You've you've.

38
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: Started at the big league level a whole bunch. You've

39
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: relieved at the whole at the big league level, a

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: whole bunch. Talk about what Yamamoto did, come back ninety

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: six pitches yesterday and goes out there and gives this

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: team what three shutout innings to literally puts the team

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: on their bat on his back to win this World Series.

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: I mean, that's your MVP, right could they give anyone? Okay,

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: he's your MVP, I mean rightfully so, dude, the day

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: after has turned into a total spa day for a

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: big league starter because of the grind to get through

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: a start the day before, because of what your body

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: feels like the next day. I used to do nothing,

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: and that trust me, I wanted to do something, especially

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: as I got into my like low to mid thirties.

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: I wanted to move around the next day and do something.

53
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: And I couldn't do it. So for him to go

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: out there and I know it's game seven, he you know,

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 3: probably took some kind of tourt all type thing where

56
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 3: he's not feeling much, but your body knows deep in there, man,

57
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: it is fatigued, it is going on fumes. And for

58
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: him to throw those splitters and some of those heaters

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: that it was like a two to one heater end

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 3: of Laddie at like ninety six black in and I was.

61
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: Like this, this dude's a robot.

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: That was I think one of the best pitches I

63
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: saw all night. So US a World World Series MVP

64
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: as he should be. That was, I mean, just an

65
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: incredible performance throughout the whole series by him.

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: In this series, you have a complete game shutout, you

67
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: follow it up with six innings one run baseball and

68
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: then a day later, you go out there and you

69
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: get the win, you don't get the save. I think

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: he prefers the win in this game. You saw twenty

71
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: two warming up out there, and the bullpen guys also

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: sound off in the chat. Let us know how you're feeling,

73
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: let us know where you're representing your Dodgers fandom. Seeing

74
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: the chat already going off, appreciate people with the super chats.

75
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to everybody there as many people as

76
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: we can tonight. Obviously it's late for strips, so we

77
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: will try to let him get to bed at some point.

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Of the people on the screen right now, you have

79
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: spent the most time with Clayton Edward Kershaw.

80
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: He gets to go out with a third world series ring.

81
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: Tell me just talk about Kersh here and what this

82
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: means to you know, so many people that played with him,

83
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: and you know the fact that he's hanging up his cleats.

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: He wanted on his own accord and to go out

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: this way.

86
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: How special is that?

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: So I was getting asked all the time who I

88
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: was rooting for in this series, and I was basically

89
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: depending on who I was talking to, kind of changing

90
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: my answer. But the one thing I was adamantly saying,

91
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: was I want Kershall to get the last out. I'm

92
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: rooting for a great series and for Clayton Kershall to

93
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: get the last out. And it seemed like it was

94
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: baby trying to happen there. I don't know if he

95
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: was going to come in a phase of our show.

96
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: I was going to be stressed as absolute hell if

97
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: they were going to do that to my man, Clayton.

98
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: But I think the baseball gods and God in general

99
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: would have been on his side. I think he would

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: have pulled it off like the bases loaded one back then,

101
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: game you know, three or whatever in the fourteenth inning,

102
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: whatever you pitched, man, I will be as quick as

103
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: I can on Kersh. I have adamantly said that I

104
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 3: would have never made it as long as my career

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 3: without him. By no means did he take me under

106
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: his wing, but he did it by osmosis. I just

107
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,559
Speaker 3: I learned so much about the game just watching him work,

108
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: and I just am so thankful that I was drafted

109
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: and developed by the Dodgers. They untapped things in me

110
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: that I know of or wouldn't have and just to

111
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: have been around Clayton. And now let's just say, a

112
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: father of three kids and a husband. What I learned

113
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: from him even off the field, as far as just

114
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: how good of a person he is, genuine his heart is.

115
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: I got to ask the other day in the stands

116
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: at Dodger Stadium, who's the kindest Dodger? That was, which

117
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: I thought was an odd word, the kindest. You know,

118
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: I've never gotten out before, and it just was a

119
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: no brain.

120
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 4: It's Clayton. It's it's Clayton.

121
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: Even though he's as intense as he is, he has

122
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: a genuine heart and he wants everyone around him to

123
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: do great. He wasn't a huge part of this postseason,

124
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: and every time they would pay to him, he's going

125
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: ham because he wants to support his teammates and he

126
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: wants to win that ring. Like you said, I mean,

127
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: you can't find a better man, a better baseball player,

128
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: hall of famer for a reason.

129
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So happy for that, dude. Just generally happy this game.

130
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: You know, I get I get paid, not extremely well,

131
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: but I get paid to talk about the Dodgers. And

132
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I've been doing it, as you know, ross Ford, for

133
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: a number of years now.

134
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: And there are some of.

135
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: These games, particularly in this postseason, where I just like,

136
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what the have to say here? What

137
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: are you supposed to say after a game like that?

138
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: You had a bit of everything so many points and

139
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: I have the you know, chats to prove it. With

140
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: people so many points, You're like, there's no way they

141
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: can find a way to just keep just keep the

142
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: luck going, keep the season alive. You know you're down

143
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: to I don't know if it's your final lot. It

144
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: was not your final out, No, it was two. I

145
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: think it was a two two out situation. Miguil Rojas

146
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: coming up there, bottom of the ninth or top of

147
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: the ninth.

148
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Here you you're out. That's your season.

149
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: And the Toronto Blue Jays are winners of the World

150
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: Series in twenty twenty five, first ever player and MLB

151
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: history with the game tying homer and the ninth inning.

152
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: Year later of a World Series Game seven. Miggey Rowe

153
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: gave his everything for this win, for this team over these.

154
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: Last two games.

155
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: Thank God for Doc for putting that man in there,

156
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: and and him just kind of putting the team on

157
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: the back on his back in his own way with

158
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: as you know we've talked before, going on obviously you

159
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: played a couple of years with him, or at least

160
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: you have some time with him behind you at the

161
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: minor league levels. I think he was traded before you

162
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: made your big league debut. But he is somebody at

163
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: this point in his career. He is a captain, He

164
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: is a leader, He is somebody this team. Mookie Betts,

165
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer, looks up to Miguel Rojas

166
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: and what he brings to this roster, and you know,

167
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: to make that play, I think he actually hurt himself

168
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: making that he gets the homer, but then he makes

169
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: the play at home to keep.

170
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: The game alive, keep the season alive for the Dodgers.

171
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Just one of the heroes, you know, Willie Dills also

172
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: being a hero for this team. Thoughts about about Miguel

173
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Rojas and what he means to a clubhouse. Obviously very

174
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: different situation from what are we at eleven twelve seasons ago,

175
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: when you guys might have crossed some paths to now

176
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: knowing the type of a presence he has in that

177
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Dodger clubhouse.

178
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: To speak a little bit about Mickey.

179
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: Row Yeah, double a shortstop twenty thirteen, Chattanooga, and we

180
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: couldn't hit a lick, but he's saved me a whole

181
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 3: bunch of earned runs back in twenty thirteen. I promise

182
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: you that, you know, it's I think if you're not

183
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: a Dodger fan, you're at home and you're just like.

184
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: The superstar after superstar.

185
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: And then they bring that dude out here and he's,

186
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: you know, essentially a Platinum Glove winning infielder and he

187
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: hits you know, a home run when he hits like

188
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: four or five of them a year, and it just

189
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's like, man, we got to worry about

190
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: like twelve other dudes, and Miguel Rojas is the one

191
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: that gets us. And then it's because he was ready

192
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 3: for that situation. He's obviously been in the big leagues

193
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: a long time. He's probably got a really slow heartbeat.

194
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: You kind of have to to play elite defense like

195
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: he does. And he works the great at bat, gets

196
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: to a three to two pitch, he's in front of

197
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 3: Otani Smoltz.

198
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: He talked about it.

199
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: He's got to get a strike right there, gets a

200
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: strike and he damages it. That's a big leaguer, man,

201
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: So I you know, and then you talk about how

202
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: the other guys in the locker room talk about him.

203
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: I've heard Key k rave about him as well. You know,

204
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: I think it's rare for a Latin guy to be

205
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: the leader of Latin's and the Americans to be honest,

206
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: and I think he is that. So I think that's

207
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: just a testament to what he's done at the big

208
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: leagues and how guys respect him. And then to come

209
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: out in a situation like that and do what he did.

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: It's just specially he's to earn that opportunity and then

211
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: he took advantage of it.

212
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: There's nothing better.

213
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a phenomenal point because usually it is and

214
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: say it's a divided clubhouse, but it's hard to find

215
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: that one guy that could bring everybody together. And everything

216
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: we've heard over the last couple of seasons since he's

217
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: been back, he has been that guy. Everything we've heard Tonight,

218
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen with us in the show. We got

219
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: William Dill Smith Dodgers legend. You got a little bit

220
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: of time in the show with Willie Dill's made his debut.

221
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: That will real middle name, That is real.

222
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, but yeah, you got a little bit of time.

223
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: But what a season and a half maybe total with

224
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: him being around as your catcher and to see the

225
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: growth and maturity of this guy franchise catcher now for

226
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: this organization of course, inks that ginormous deal, ten year

227
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: deal at the start of last season and has just

228
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: been worth every penny. Grinder caught so many every single

229
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: inning in this postseason, including an eighteen inning game, something

230
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: you too are familiar with, an eighteen inning game.

231
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: Of course, you mostly had to.

232
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Sit on your ass for that one, but mostly mostly

233
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't remember if you got in that game.

234
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 2: It was a long time ago.

235
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: But still talk about Will Smith here with the winning homer.

236
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean he'd probably be your other option

237
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 3: for MVP, right the one against Gosman and Game two

238
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: and then that one right there, two outs. You know,

239
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: it felt like we were going into a bottom half

240
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 3: of the inning there and all of a sudden Will

241
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: hits a towering home run to take the lead, and

242
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: it just you know, I saw him from the start.

243
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: I think, you know, those teams that I was a

244
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: part of were really fun. If I think of the

245
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty World Series roster, which I was not on,

246
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 3: I have the ring for it, Like you alluded to

247
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: at the beginning. I think there's like nineteen homegrown guys

248
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 3: on that team. You know, you're talking Jock and Belly

249
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: and Kersh and Buehler and Urious and mean Will Smith, etc.

250
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: Et cetera.

251
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: And so I got to see him come up and

252
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 3: see him kind of join our crew. You know, we

253
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: were kind of a crew back in the day, and

254
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: he just fit right in.

255
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: Man.

256
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: I talked about a slow heartbeat for Rojas. He's got

257
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: a slow heart beat. We called him a politician. He

258
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: was never rattled like he was always just very matter

259
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: of fact, very to the point, and just knew what

260
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: he needed to do. And you know, you think about

261
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: a catcher for the La Dodgers coming in catching at

262
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: the time, hunjin Ru and Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill

263
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: and Kintamaeta and and some of us that have been

264
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: around for a long time. And here's the reins to

265
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: this pitching staff. That's a massive undertaking. You've probably seen

266
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: a lot of catchers really struggle with that, and he

267
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: just took it and ran with it.

268
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: Man. And the thing is the bat.

269
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: I think we knew the catching was there, and the

270
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: arm is obviously there as an eighty great arm out

271
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: of the draft. But for the bat to come and

272
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: now hit like four hole pretty consistently in this LA

273
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: Dodgers lineup as a catcher that I think that's thing

274
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: that maybe we didn't necessarily see happening for him. And

275
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: you're it's you know, it's it's it's real man.

276
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

277
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: They always talk about the MV three being showhaned Mookie

278
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: and Freddy, But you know, Will Smith, he's got He

279
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: drives a nice car too, As as Mookie might say, Hey,

280
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: a lot more Dodger talk coming up. We've got a

281
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: lot of super chats, a lot of people hanging out

282
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: with us in the chat. I also want to get

283
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: that guy's opinion about Dave Roberts pretty good manager as well.

284
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: But first we'll tell you a little bit about Draft

Speaker 1: didn't look at a calendar and see, oh, there might

315
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: be a Game seven of the World Series on November first,

316
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: where here we're happy some of the super chats stay

317
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: deep in the moment, given some love, Dot Go Dodgers,

318
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Chicken Strip, We miss you. Yeah, man, you were You

319
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: were always a dog, somebody that was ready and willing

320
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: to do anything that this ball club did. H and

321
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: for or sorry needed of you and for your manager

322
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, who now Strip. You know, by the time

323
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: you were traded, there was a lot of talk about

324
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: obviously there's there's the Kershaw narrative or whatever, but there

325
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: was a Dave Dave Roberts narrative. He was very much

326
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: a learning, growing manager. He was learning the job on

327
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: the job right right up to your first start in

328
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: your career, you know, needing to kind of understand, Uh,

329
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: do I let this kid go for a no no?

330
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: Or do I respect the fact that he's coming back

331
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: from Tommy John a season and a half ago. Uh,

332
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: The growth and maturity you've seen both playing for him

333
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: and now watching him from Afar. And then you know,

334
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: obviously you still talk to a lot of these people

335
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: in the team. I'm assuming you have some sort of

336
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, contact and connection with Doc.

337
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Just talk about.

338
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: But the growth and maturity as a manager of Dave Roberts.

339
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just gonna happen, right when you're just put

340
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: into these situations that he's you know, gonna be managing

341
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: for one.

342
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: Uh you alluded to me.

343
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: I feel like all the time he's having to pull

344
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: someone from like a no hitter, a perfect game, more

345
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: so early in my career, like Rich Hill in a

346
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: perfect game, and like stuff like that. You know, I mean,

347
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: he's gonna be a Hall of Fame manager, right, I mean,

348
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: he's now got multiple rings. It's not gonna slow down

349
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 3: anytime soon. Knock on wood for the LA Dodgers, He's

350
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: gonna win a lot more games and probably a lot

351
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: more postseason games. He's gonna be up there giving a

352
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame speech one day. I think we can

353
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: all say that, probably pretty confidently. So you know you're

354
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: going you said you're gonna learn on the job, Like

355
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: right off the bat we were playing in the NLCS

356
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: that year twenty sixteen his first year. The next year,

357
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: two years we were in the World Series. Like you're

358
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: just gonna learn a lot by going through that. He

359
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: was really high energy, which coming into a veteran clubhouse

360
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: that that clubhouse had, you know, a j Elis, Adrian Gonzalez,

361
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: Carl Crawford, Matt Camp, Clayton Kershaw, Brandon McCarthy, like kind

362
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: of some like saltier older dudes. And all of a

363
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: sudden you got Dave Roberts coming in, who's kind of

364
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: like a nine month old Golden Retriever, and you know

365
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some learning curves there, and he figured

366
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: it out, you know, And and I think, is you know,

367
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: really really been obviously a very good manager, good in

368
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 3: these situations. He's going to learn through each one. And

369
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: you're talking, you know about the bullpen. How do you

370
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: navigate essentially not having a bullpen in seven games series?

371
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: That's that's pretty tough to do. So now he's got

372
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 3: that under his belt. So there's really not much that

373
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: you can say he hasn't been through, hasn't had to

374
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: play chess against the other manager, you know, through some situation.

375
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: So I just it's he's gonna have the advantage moving forward,

376
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: like obviously the advantage for the Dodgers on the field

377
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: because of the talent they have. But now you got,

378
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: you know, a coaching staff led by Dave Roberts that's

379
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: through everything as well.

380
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean really has been through everything. And you know,

381
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: I think of some of the you know, some of

382
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: the early criticisms warranted, very much well earned criticisms. You know,

383
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: looking back to that eighteen World series pulling Richie Hill

384
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 1: there Dick Mountain while he's in the middle of an

385
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: absolute gem, you boys go on to lose that one,

386
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of feeling like he was maybe trying to create

387
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: a narrative for Kershaw. In that twenty nineteen postseason absolute

388
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: gut punch for all of us, I can only imagine

389
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: how you Fellas felt about it. I mean, we know

390
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: we saw that clubhouse, we saw the post mortem of

391
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: that one. To be at this point now where he

392
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: has learned enough to be like, oh no, those guys

393
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: aren't working right now, Yamamoto. Let's if you say you're ready,

394
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: I don't care, said like he did with Walker Buler

395
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: last year. But Tane had zero business pitching in that game.

396
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: He says, I'm going to go down there because what

397
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: would twenty two do? Well, now it's what would eighteen do?

398
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, Yoshinoba Yamamoto, unsurprisingly is your World

399
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Series MVP made official on the post game. By the way,

400
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: Dodger's Territory presented by Fox One. Check that out, Juju

401
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: in the chat fort nine nine, it's the second year

402
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: of Dodgers Territory and we go back to back. So right,

403
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: Alana and I are undefeated.

404
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: That's what we're here for.

405
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: Massive mh Dodger for life coming through. As he promised,

406
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars super chat. That's insanity right there. But

407
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: as promised back to back World series Clint tell Alana

408
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: never questioned finally ending some of it's a little weird there,

409
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: but anyways, you live to breathe another day. And now

410
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: we live to breathe and see a parade.

411
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: Inside my city.

412
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: We get to see these guys go hamm there at

413
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Rogers Center. Deserved another another road team wins the World

414
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: series here.

415
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things I did want to

416
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: ask you about, is I mean, because.

417
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: There was a strong amount of time for this game,

418
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: we didn't know how it was gonna turn out. And

419
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: I've been somebody who has very loudly been tipping my

420
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: cap to the Toronto Blue Jays, because entering the series,

421
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know very much about them. I ain't got

422
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: that kind of time to pay attention to an American

423
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: League East team.

424
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: I learned a lot about this ball club.

425
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Scrappy, a bunch of dudes that I'm very happy that

426
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: that corps was able to stay together and at least

427
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: get to this point. They just seem like some good

428
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: dudes led by a good dude in John Schneider. But

429
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: what can you say about even making it to a

430
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: Game seven? What does that mean to the city of Toronto?

431
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: And what does that mean to some of the dudes

432
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse that you played alongside? You know, Like,

433
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: obviously right now, that's a gut punch, but there's a

434
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: lot of things that those dudes can be proud of.

435
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

436
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: I got traded over there in twenty twenty, midway through

437
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: the COVID year, and right when I got there, we

438
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 3: were in Miami and we flew back up to Buffalo

439
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: at the time because we couldn't get in Toronto. And

440
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: when I was sitting in my seat on that plane ride,

441
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: I had twenty people between staff and players come up

442
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: to me and just be like, what are the Dodgers? Like?

443
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: What do they do that we don't do? What can

444
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: we do?

445
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 3: How can we get better? It was amazing and that

446
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 3: ended up being the rest of my career. That is

447
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: everywhere what do the Dodgers do? I promise people are

448
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: trying to trying to figure it out and follow suit.

449
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 4: But what I was saying was, man, it's here.

450
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: Like at the time, I was looking at young Laddie,

451
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 3: Young Bo, Young Cavin Bigio, a young pitching staff Kirk

452
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: you know, coming up, didn't even know he was a player.

453
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: I thought he was a bullpen catcher, And all of

454
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 3: a sudden, he's catching my debut five days later, or

455
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: his debut five days later, you know, and I just now, gosh,

456
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: five years later, they have you know, they haven't gotten

457
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: over the hump. They haven't want a ring, but that

458
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: corps has done some cool stuff.

459
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: Man.

460
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 3: They've made the playoffs I think four out of five years,

461
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 3: they went from last to first. This year almost won

462
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 3: a World Series. And you know, Laddie's their long term

463
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Bo's a free agent. I hope Bo goes back. Bo's

464
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 3: awesome for that city. Bo's a great shortstop when he's

465
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: healthy and can really hit, you know. And I did

466
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: a similar show like this. I did it on the

467
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: Blue Jay side and they were like, you know, if

468
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: they don't if they don't win, it was that core

469
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: a failure.

470
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 4: And I was like, no, man, you're in the Al.

471
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 3: East and you guys are competing against the Yankees and

472
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 3: the Red Sox and the weird ass Rays every year,

473
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: and like the study, you know, like, no, that is

474
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 3: not a failure. It is so hard to win a

475
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: ring in this league. And I hope they're holding their

476
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: head high. And as far as the fans, man, when

477
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: the Leafs lose, the Jay's take over that entire country

478
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: and it's really cool. And I think you know that

479
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: got put on display during this series as far as

480
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 3: like they would pant to the crowd and they'd be

481
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: going nuts. And the stadium's got redone in the last

482
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 3: couple years.

483
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 4: It's beautiful.

484
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: They did an awesome job on it. It's just they

485
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: do baseball right up there. So I'm glad they kind

486
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 3: of got their stage for a moment.

487
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, really cool, Like I said they they were in

488
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: this series, in my opinion, still the better team. They

489
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: played a cleaner brand of baseball. Maybe in the final

490
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: couple of games here some questionable base running blenders in there.

491
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: You got George Springer coming off the bag thinking that lady,

492
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: you know, walks in the first inning or whatever. They

493
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: had another one of those yesterday as well. Maybe maybe

494
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: wait for the call before you guys decide that somebody

495
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: was walked. But that's another bit of learning experience, and

496
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: that's something Alanna and I talked about entering this series,

497
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: is if there's something that's gonna help the Los Angeles

498
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: Dodgers win even when they are far from being their best.

499
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: They had no bullpen, the offense was non existent. I

500
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: think they hit under two hundred in this series to

501
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: actually win this World Series. But if there's something that's

502
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: going to help the Dodgers beat a team that's just

503
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: playing better, cleaner, you know, glue baseball, as they're calling

504
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: up there in Toronto.

505
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: It's going to be the experience.

506
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: It's going to be the experience of all those guys

507
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: on the field who just.

508
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 2: Most of them won World Series last year.

509
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: But it's also going to be you know Doc going

510
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: in there, no one when to hold them, no one

511
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: went to fold them, no one when to walk away.

512
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 1: And you saw late in the game smartly of course,

513
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: John Schneider trying to play for the win, the walk

514
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: off there the World Series. You know, your your home team,

515
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: you can do that. But then another inning or two later,

516
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Boba Sheet is out of the game.

517
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: It's a smart play with the way he was moving

518
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: to pinch run for him. But that's where Dave, you know,

519
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: stayed his hand, didn't make some of these moves that

520
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: maybe you might have seen him make, uh you know,

521
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen, eighteen nineteen, all of that, and that's how

522
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: you find a way Dave going to Andy poe Has

523
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: in center and then him immediately just steamrolling Key k

524
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: This is my ball.

525
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: Bro A. That's a tough stretch for Kik getting just

526
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 3: barrel rolled by pae Has In the next inning, tripping

527
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: over first base, the man, Key k get off the ground. Man, Yeah,

528
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: just just yeah, just to tag on with that. Experience

529
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 3: is always gonna show its head in this and in

530
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 3: these scenarios. What I want to say is La the

531
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 3: Dodgers are specifically so good at capitalizing on mistakes.

532
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: And let's pan back one year.

533
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge drops the ball, Garrett Cole doesn't cover first base,

534
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 3: they're down five six runs in a World Series game.

535
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: They come back when when the game and win the

536
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 3: World Series. The Blue Jays kind of teetered a few times,

537
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 3: but they didn't cave. They didn't let the Dodgers take

538
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 3: advantage of those situations.

539
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 4: That's what kept them in these games.

540
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: Let's just talk about tonight specifically, and like, what was

541
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,479
Speaker 3: it the third or fourth inning? Churesers, You know, they

542
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: got him down and they he's able to get out

543
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 3: of it.

544
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: You Savage comes in.

545
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: They're like, man, I don't know if we should really

546
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: be bringing him in the situation, he walks, the first

547
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: guy gets a big double play on an awesome play

548
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: by Flatty. I just feel like the Blue Jays didn't

549
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: hand over situations like maybe the Yankees or some other

550
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: teams have to LA where that's where LA just steps

551
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: on your throat and puts you away. I think that's

552
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: how Toronto was able to stick around. How you're saying

553
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: they play a good brand of baseball. Ernie Clement, of

554
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 3: all people, beat a Rosa Arenas record for most hits

555
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: in a postseason. You know, it's just that they have

556
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: some guys that probably the average fan has never heard of.

557
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: They're just grinder, good baseball players. And then all the while,

558
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: yeah you got you know, George on a resurgent year

559
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: in Flatty being flatty. So they're they're they're a solid

560
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: squad man, and they're I think they're gonna be good

561
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: for a couple of years here.

562
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: And funny enough, you know, you bring that up the

563
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: fact that Dodgers, you know, capitalize on Aaron Judge last year,

564
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: this year, Dodgers when they were given those, those opportunities

565
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: few and far between, but when they were given given them,

566
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: they capitalized. Look at yesterday, Key KM with that double play,

567
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: because I think it was Clement got a little too no,

568
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: Barger got a little too far from drag. You know,

569
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: he was not gonna score either way on that play.

570
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: If the ball gets down, what are you doing?

571
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: Bro? And that sent it to a Game seven where

572
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 2: it's a toss up. Anybody's gonna win.

573
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: And I always said, give me the Dodgers pitching staff

574
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: because we know everybody was going to be available. But

575
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: more importantly, the good pitchers were gonna be available.

576
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: Lakes.

577
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: With all due respect, I love I love those dudes

578
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: in there with with you, Anthony Bondo in particular, Blake,

579
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: Blake trying to in particular, did not have themselves a

580
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: good postseason, did not have themselves a good World Series.

581
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: But Dodgers don't win it in twenty four without those dudes.

582
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, to to the Dodgers credit, you know a

583
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: lot of bit of luck, it felt like in the

584
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: series and capitalizing when you needed to, and that's how

585
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: you go run it back. Hey, let's let's put on

586
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: your uh your GM cap here, because I don't know

587
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: what else you're doing these days. I know you're doing

588
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: finance type things because that's that's always been. It's always

589
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: been your calling. But hey, one of these days you

590
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: find yourself. Yeah, you give front office, You've always given

591
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: front office. How do you go and and run it back?

592
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: For the three pet What do the Dodgers need to

593
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: do in the off season to get even better?

594
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 4: Well, who were losing?

595
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: I'm guessing Mickey Rowe and Keith Ayr Back. Like at

596
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 3: this point, I feel like they've kind of proven that

597
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: they they're going to fill their cracks with guys they

598
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 3: like and.

599
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 4: Know, you know, but who's losing?

600
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, right, yeah, just continue.

601
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 3: But let's say on the on the bigger scale, who's

602
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: out the door free agent wise?

603
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: Really, I mean a majority of them are are pretty

604
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: much back. Months has a he has a player option

605
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: or a team option, ridiculously team friendly at ten mil.

606
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: So he's gonna be back.

607
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: The left fielder who didn't even touch a baseball in

608
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: the postseason, Michael CONFORDO, he will be gone. But you

609
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: still have Pa Haz homegrown. You still have Ti Oscar

610
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: for another couple of seasons.

611
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: There.

612
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: Outfield is probably an area where you want to try

613
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: to to make some moves.

614
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: But really he right, yeah, so it's gonna be bullpenned.

615
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 4: So you know, the.

616
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 2: Bullpen can get healthy. That's the thing there, It helps

617
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: them out.

618
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: I remember, you know, going into this season, there was

619
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: you know, in the Baseball wheld there's some people being

620
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: upset about the Kirby Yates signing, the Tanner Scott signing.

621
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 4: There's like, man, the doctors get everyone, and.

622
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 3: Then those dudes didn't throw a pitch in the postseason,

623
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 3: right or I know Kirby didn't you know Kopex sitting

624
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: there looking like Forrest with Tom Hanks coming off the

625
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: Castaway Island. Uh, you know, for for four rounds. It

626
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 3: just baseball never gonna work the way that you think

627
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 3: it's gonna work. And I feel like it's actually kind

628
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 3: of I don't want to say odd odds not the

629
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: right word, but like Friedman went out and spent money

630
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: in the bullpen. He got some big names and some

631
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: splashy signings, and those guys weren't guys that really helped

632
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: get the ring here down the stretch. So my guess

633
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: is maybe they get away from that. I'm sure maybe

634
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 3: one or two of those guys are back based on contracts.

635
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: But my guess is you kind of see Friedman kind

636
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: of between the cracks, signing more like banda type guys

637
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: that maybe we don't know very much about, but they're

638
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: Freedman specials where they're going to come in and throw

639
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: from weird angles and get outs and can get right

640
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 3: he's and lefties out like this Warblosky.

641
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: Guy or or Shean, you know, like it just.

642
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: Not only are they gonna sign the Otani Freddie Mookies

643
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: of the world, but they're still you know, far Han

644
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: left the Giants and is now just hovering somewhere in

645
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. You know, Dungeons making moves with Friedman. That's

646
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: a scary situation for twenty nine other teams. So it

647
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 3: just putting on my GM hat. I would guess they're

648
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: they're going to get creative with some with some bullpen signings,

649
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: and they're they're going to come out even stronger. You know.

650
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: It's funny to to Alana's credit, she always says that

651
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: money doesn't buy you championships, it buys you good teams.

652
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: For the Los Angeles Dodgers, it buys you both because

653
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: they are, as you mentioned, somehow able to win uh

654
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: this this title without Tanner Scott, who they gave it

655
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: backed up the Brinks truck to something they they don't

656
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: do with relievers unless that reliever is Kenley Jansen, you know,

657
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: saying Kirby Yates, this guy was fucking great last year.

658
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: Let's try to see if he'll help us run it back.

659
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: Maybe they maybe they don't go as as as flashy

660
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: and splashy, they got some really really good arms coming up.

661
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Because as you well know and has already you know

662
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: mentioned alluded to, uh, the development. You know what the

663
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: front office is able to do with somebody with just

664
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: just a hair of talent, they can turn it into

665
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: something useful for their own needs.

666
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: And and I love.

667
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: Something Joe Kelly said a couple of weeks ago Hunt

668
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: some podcasts where he's like, you don't need to be

669
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: around for the entire of the season. You just need

670
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: to if you're good, you need to be ready for

671
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, five weeks towards the end of the season. Anyways,

672
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: start a good spot. We don't need to worry too

673
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: much about that. We'll have plenty of off season here

674
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: on the territory to talk about it.

675
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 4: Uhs that bridge when we get there.

676
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: When we get there, a couple more super chats, and

677
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I'll let you get out of here. I know it's

678
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: late for you, my man, but I appreciate you hanging

679
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: out with me. Dodgers win a World Series, back to

680
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: back champions Hammy double twenty three in the chat with

681
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: ten Dollars saying kids about to have to explain why

682
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: their name is Yoshinobu.

683
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 2: Absolute.

684
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: That's great, Elijah saying, never doubt Alana again, people had

685
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: some doubt. I think that's just how baseball works. You know,

686
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: if you if you expect the worst, you'll never be hurt.

687
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: I was living that, particularly in this game.

688
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't know if they had enough

689
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 2: magic karma left. Thank god they did.

690
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, gain for those for those listening. I came in

691
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 3: to check my lighting and stuff. In the eighth inning

692
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: we were down by one and Clint was barely hanging

693
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: in there. So here we are, yeah, ninety minutes later,

694
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: and vibes are much higher.

695
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: Vibes are much much higher.

696
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: Gabriel sent us ten bucks here and that's all she wrote.

697
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: Game over, ladies and gentlemen, you're a lot of sayings

698
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: with Dodgers back to Backworld Series champions and Yama Yama,

699
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: Yama Yama, what a signing. I know you, I know.

700
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't think you're as extremely online, uh probably, or

701
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: anywhere near as close to online as you might have

702
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: been in the good old Chicken strip days. But Josh Reddick,

703
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: your former teammate, he's got a lot of shit about

704
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: a Yama Moto Yamamoto post where he's like, how do

705
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: you pay a guy who's never pitched in the league

706
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: three and twenty five million dollars. I'm it's a reasonable

707
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,239
Speaker 1: take to have, you know, eat at the point, I

708
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: want to hear again from you about Yama Moto. I

709
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: know we already talked about him, but just the insanity

710
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: of how good this guy is just being an animal,

711
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: being a rubber band. You see him doing these weird

712
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: stretches that I would literally die if I tried. That's

713
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: why you pay somebody that kind of insane money, because

714
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: he's ready and willing to put a team on his back.

715
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's you know, history tells that the

716
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: those guys can throw and throw and throw, which he

717
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 3: just proved went ninety six pitches in three innings the

718
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: next day, So they're typically pretty durable and their stuff

719
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: holds up. And then in today's age where you can

720
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: get track Man type ride ups on a guy. And

721
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: I don't get me wrong, I'm sure Friedman and his

722
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 3: cronies went to Japan and laid eyes on him many times. Yeah,

723
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: but you can get his stuff put on a print

724
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 3: out right in front of you, and you can compare

725
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: it to everyone else around the league, and you're like,

726
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: that's a ninety two min hour splitter that moves like

727
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: Kevin Gosman's that's eighty three miles an hour. Oh, he

728
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 3: can run it up to ninety eight.

729
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 2: Oh.

730
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 4: He has six pitches that he commands at will. Oh.

731
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: He throws basically no heaters in fastball counts. That's essentially

732
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: the key to success in today's game.

733
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, and he's twenty whatever years old.

734
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: We'll give that man some dough and how we just

735
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 3: kind of talked about this with Friedman.

736
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 4: That's he's not going to do that on a whim.

737
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: That was a very much a planned and executed contract

738
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: with reason, and you're seeing that right in front of your.

739
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 4: Face over the last forty eight hours. So that's that's

740
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 4: what that is.

741
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 3: And to be honest, this was the postseason of the Splitter,

742
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: and that pitch has been coming back for years now,

743
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: but this postseason put it on a pedestal. When you're

744
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: talking Gosman and Hoffman and you Savage and obviously Yamamoto,

745
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 3: and it just it's all the way back the Splitter

746
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 3: and how hard that they can throw that pitch. And

747
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: now we know exactly, based on my arm angle, what

748
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: seemed to get it on To get it to have

749
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 3: that insane action. I want to say, he got someone

750
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: to swing and miss it one and they showed it

751
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 3: in slow motion and I was like, I couldn't get

752
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 3: my twelve six curveball to move with that much downward action,

753
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: and that thing was at seventy three, much less ninety two.

754
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: So it just you know, he has a unicorn pitch

755
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 3: that is now on the rage in our game that

756
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 3: is so north south. It's so hard to beat big

757
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 3: Ley hitters eat wet east west, but you can beat

758
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: him north south, especially with a pitch that moves like that.

759
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 3: So that's that's why you go sign Yamamoto right there.

760
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's insane.

761
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: I remember you jumped on foul Territory a couple weeks

762
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: a couple months back, and you talked about, you know,

763
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: shortly after announcing your retirement. It's like, you know, it

764
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: turns out something Clayton said to the dudes on MLB

765
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: Network today, It's like, it turns out you can't really

766
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: get dudes out with eighty eight ninety anymore. Well, it's

767
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: it's really hard when you have somebody else that's able

768
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: to do that with a baseball, just manipulate it any

769
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: way he wants, and for somebody that really really loves

770
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: pitching the way I am that it's just it's sexy

771
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: to watch, but that's a that's a different kind of show.

772
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: That's Dodgers' territory after dark.

773
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: I think so or all Dodgers, which is coming up

774
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: after I let Stripling go, give me two more minutes

775
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: with you, buddy, and then I'm gonna I'll let you go,

776
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: Kenya out of fifty dollars.

777
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: As Clint, I've been following you covering the Dodgers for years.

778
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: You're great.

779
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: So are the Dodgers back to back, baby, Thank you

780
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: very much. I paid her to say that, or paid

781
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: them to say that. Her Marcus with some love, Dolanas

782
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of called it while the rest of

783
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: us were crying in our commemorative refillable Dodgers cup. She

784
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: never doubted them for a second, no doubt, no doubt.

785
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: I had some doubt. I definitely had some doubt.

786
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: And as strip said earlier when he popped in to

787
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: do some lighting and all that kind of check, I

788
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: had some doubt in this one. If you looked at

789
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: my rundown, there's a lot of doubt in that rundown

790
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: talking about things that the Dodgers need to do to

791
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: get better. Mister Morino since nine ninety nine. My way,

792
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: our way saying go get yourself some Boca del Rio

793
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: tacos and if you know, you know in the beautiful

794
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: La Pointe area.

795
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna end with this from a Yo, Anthony.

796
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: Job finished. The job is finished. Any final thoughts before

797
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: we sign off here?

798
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: Strip, Yeah, I gave my dude to the Blue Jays.

799
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: I want to give my due to the Dodgers.

800
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 4: Man.

801
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: I think that eighteen inning game killed them. I think

802
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: we showed where the age gap, average age gap of

803
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 3: the team really came out. Where you know, the average

804
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 3: age of the Dodgers thirty three something in the Blue

805
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: Jays twenty seven to twenty eight. That's a big difference.

806
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 3: And I think Games four and Game five showed that.

807
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 3: And I think it's actually.

808
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 4: A huge, huge tip of.

809
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: The cap to the Dodgers to come back and win

810
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 3: this series in Toronto. Obviously a listers up and down

811
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 3: the lineup and guys that have been there from the

812
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 3: coaching staff down, but to still go out and do

813
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: it after an eighteen inning game, one hundred and ninety

814
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: games into a season, I want to say kudos to

815
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: the La Dodgers.

816
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 4: For overcoming that, and.

817
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 3: I just it's impressive, man, even when you're probably the

818
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 3: team that's supposed to win, to go out there and

819
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 3: do it is something else. And to do it the

820
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 3: year after you already did it, that's a huge accomplishment.

821
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: People are gonna say it's bad for baseball. You know what,

822
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: if you want to go do what the Dodgers do

823
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: the blueprints there, go sign good people in the front office,

824
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: go sign good coaches, go sign good players, and you're

825
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: gonna have a good team. A lot of said it, right,

826
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 3: So it's right there, guys. Let's let's be a bunch

827
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,640

828
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: on the field, and let's man like that. That was

829
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 3: awesome baseball for seven games, really for the whole postseason,

830
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 3: but for seven games, that was really really awesome baseball.

831
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 3: And long winded final minute there, but I just I

832
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,920
