1 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Ft Live postgame show after Game two of the NLCS 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: where the Dodgers take a two to nothing lead and 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: head back home to La. Well, things are lining up 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: for a Dodgers Mariners World Series. Scottie Brown, Arikratz, let's 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: talk and instantly react. Krats. The starting pitcher is so back. 6 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: So back, and it's so bountiful in LA. I mean, 7 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: they have all the starting pitching. It's not even fair. 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: No other teams. Next year they're probably going to go 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: one sixty two and oh mmmm. 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: It reminds me of last offseason where the Dodgers put 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: icing on the cake with some bullpen editions that we 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: do not even see in the postseason, like Kirbyates and 13 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: Tanner Scott. But also the weakness for the Dodgers is 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: not that much of a weakness. It's like a little 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: sprinkle of a weakness because you often don't need it. 16 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: Let's start with Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Doc Roberts lets him go 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: the difference one day after holding Blake Snell and not 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: having him go in the ninth after one of the 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: more dominant performances in the postseason we've seen in a minute, 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: so Yamamoto tops him. A complete game nine inning domination 21 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: from Yamamoto. He gives up the first pitch over to 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Jackson Churio and then look at the screen. Three hits 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: the entire game. That one run to the first batter 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: on the first pitch. Nothing after that. He walked one, 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: he fanned seven. He had it rolling. He gave you 26 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: just enough in terms of the swing and miss some 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,960 Speaker 1: of the early count attacks from the Brewers early on 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: in the game, just enough, like to sprinkle in a 29 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: little bit of everything that you'd usually see from Yamamoto 30 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: over an entire game. He was brilliant, dominant. 31 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: I mean one pitch leadoff homer and then he gave 32 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: up one walk, especially since Cheerio hit the leadoff homer 33 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: on a heater. I turned to my son, we were 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: watching a game. I goes, well, he's gonna be able 35 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: to go He's gonna be able to go far if 36 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: he can throw his breaking ball, because he's not gonna 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: want to throw his fastball anymore. Credit to Yamamoto, Credit 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: to Will Smith for saying it's okay one swing were good, 39 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: and they weren't just good, they were great. Complete game 40 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: one run that is like what is it the nineties. 41 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: Right, seventies, eighties, nineties, nineties, nineties, nineties postseason game under 42 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: three hours? Absolutely, Dave Roberts not having to do almost 43 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: anything besides say okay, you can continue pitching, right, I 44 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: mean he had to make no decisions. And hey, this 45 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: is a far cry from what we used to see 46 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: from the Dodgers. Remember, this team has made it to 47 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: the postseason I think thirteen consecutive years. But Kraft, it 48 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: wasn't always like this. They got very cute in the past, 49 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: platoon city, switching pitchers left and right, right, pulling guys 50 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: early from starts, which it wasn't just them, it was 51 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: most of Major League Baseball. They're one of the more 52 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: traditional teams in the sport. And yes, we get it 53 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: for the non Dodger fans that are watching right now. 54 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: We know they have money and they have resources. Oh 55 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: and they also have one of the top farm systems 56 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: in the sport, and that is held down by a 57 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,839 Speaker 1: salary cap. With a draft and international money you're able 58 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: to spend. Oops, they're still best in that. So I 59 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: would just like to say this team is so dominant 60 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: right now and clicking on all cylinders It's really exactly 61 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: as they drew things up in March, right, we are 62 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: going to get through the marathon so that we have 63 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: ace coming at you in the postseason. And that's what 64 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: we have right now. Yamamoto gave them a really full, 65 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: dominant sophomore season and that has continued into the postseason, 66 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: aside from the little blip against the Phillies. Kratz Glass now, 67 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: who has had his injury issues, gets healthy at the 68 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: right time for them, which is what they care about. 69 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: Show. 70 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Hey, Tani is in this postseason slumping mostly as a hitter. 71 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: I know he came through with one RBI knock in 72 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: this one and might not even have to pitch in 73 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: this series. I mean, I guess you could throw him 74 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: in Game four, but you don't have to if you 75 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: don't feel like you want to and you're up three 76 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: to zero at that point. We'll see, we'll see, right. 77 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you hit on a lot of guys. They're a 78 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: different guys. And I want to take it back to 79 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: what you said, like, oh man, this team was built. 80 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: You know, nobody else is able to build or whatever 81 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 2: he said. The financial resources. Okay, so nobody could have 82 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: spent one hundred and fifteen million on Tyler Glass. Now 83 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 2: nobody could have spent one hundred and seventy million deferred 84 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: money on Blake Snell, both available. Mookie Betts got traded 85 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: over to the Dodgers. Freddie Freeman was a brave it's 86 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: becoming a destination. Keiky Hernedez came on our show, and 87 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: I know people will be like, a, who cares about KK? Well, 88 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: you know what, KYK shows up in the playoffs, and 89 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: if you're a playoff team, you might want to make 90 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: your destination a place like KEYK talked about La where 91 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: you go. I don't want to go anywhere else. And 92 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: is it about winning? Yes, it's about winning. It's about 93 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: winning for every one of these guys, and there's so 94 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: many of these guys. Yeah, every team did not have 95 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: a chance at Show. Hey. Every team clearly did not 96 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: have a chance at Roki Sasaki. But they've built this team, 97 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: not just this year or last offseason when they got show. Hey, 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: they've built this team and this organization for the last 99 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: thirteen years. They were like, damn, we screwed up maybe 100 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 2: too much platoon. They're not even like tonight. They finally 101 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,359 Speaker 2: the bats broke out out before this in the last 102 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: two series, they were hitting one ninety nine as a team. 103 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: Max Munsey had his first RBI tonight. Freddie Freeman got 104 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: his first RBI last night. They are playing. As much 105 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: as this might sound terrible to other fan bases, they're 106 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: playing all twenty six men. Ben Roved. Ben Roved was 107 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: a catcher that got called up in September, that got 108 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: picked up from an organization to fill in and almost 109 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: caught back to back no hitters, like this is an 110 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: organization that brings guys in that fits their mold. Yeah, 111 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: they pay some of them, I get that, but they 112 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: fits their mold and they could care less about their 113 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: own success. They want to win. And look at what 114 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: they're doing again this year. 115 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: By the way, did you mention pahes. 116 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: No? I didn't. I think tonight. 117 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: He had been one for twenty seven this postseason, with 118 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: no walks and no runs batted in, and he had 119 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: arguably the biggest knock of the game because it was 120 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: the go ahead and it was the deciding run driven 121 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: in by pahes to out RBI doubled a right field corner. 122 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: And suddenly this lineup looks quite scary. I don't want 123 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: to say suddenly, I mean, obviously they put up runs 124 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: throughout this postseason so far, but like you mentioned, some 125 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: of the guys that had been quiet are starting to 126 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: light up. It's becoming a problem very quickly for Milwaukee. 127 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: They are going to have to win four of their 128 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: next five games, just like the Toronto Blue Jays are 129 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: going to have to win four of their next five games, 130 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: and three of those games are going to be on 131 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: the road. That doesn't necessarily mean everything. The Dodgers just 132 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: won two games on the road. The Mariners just won 133 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: two games on the road in the Championship series. But 134 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: we will talk a little bit more about what happened 135 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: in Game two and then spin it forward to Game 136 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: three to see if Milwaukee has a fighting chance or 137 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: if the Dodgers are on their way to sweep City. 138 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna step aside for a quick second.

Thanks for hanging with us, and let's talk 161 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: about the Dodgers starting rotation ERRA. If you've played at 162 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: least eight games in a postseason, they are at the 163 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: two spot all time. Right now, the number is one, 164 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: five four second lowest in history among teams with at 165 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: least eight playoff games, number one belonging to the nineteen 166 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: eighty three Orioles at one three to one. And yes, 167 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: we understand they are still postseason games to go, but 168 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: just to give you some context on where they're at, 169 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: the Brewers' bullpen has been really good throughout the postseason. Crats. 170 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: They were as sharp in this one. But at the 171 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: same time they're getting used a ton a ton, and 172 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: they are not the problem. They are the The offense 173 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: needs to figure things out against number one starters every night. 174 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: I know I ask you this almost every night, but 175 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: it's like, is this the offense's fault or are they 176 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: matching up against the top ten starters on the planet 177 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: and they can't muster up offense? 178 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: I mean, I tend to when I'm watching these pictures, 179 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: I tend to see these swings and say it's the pictures, 180 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: Like these pictures are dominating in the zone. Yamamoto and 181 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: Snell the last two nights have one walk combined. Snell 182 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: had zero last night, Yamona had one. And when you're 183 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: doing that and you're still getting ten punchies seven punchies, 184 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 2: you're still going eight to nine innings. It means you're 185 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: getting outs in the zone and your stuff is really 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: just dominant right now, like they are. Their starting rotation 187 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: is clicking on all cylinders against as lineup that knows 188 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 2: how to hit, that knows how to score runs and 189 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: manufacture things, and they're just not able to do it. 190 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: And it doesn't get any easier. It doesn't get any easier. 191 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: You got a day off and then you face Glass now. 192 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: You hope maybe Glass now can walk a few guys, 193 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: because he normally gets two or three walks in a game. 194 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: But right now, if he's watching the other guys, he's like, 195 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: oh wait, they're right, my stuff does play in the zone. 196 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: It's gonna be it's gonna be another tough night. 197 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: Where's Miz asks? Al Miz will appear soon? Maybe Game three, 198 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: does he hit? 199 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: Does a miss hit like that? Stuff? 200 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Like, yeah, hey, game one was close. I will say 201 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: this Game one was close. The Dodgers had a lot 202 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: more activity going on, but the Brewers had a chance 203 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: to win that game. And even Pat Murphy phrased it 204 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: the same way that the question was asked. They could 205 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: have stolen in Game one with what was going on late. 206 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: There were two major issues. One, abnery Rebay walked in 207 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: a run that made it to nothing. Brewers caught up 208 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: with one run, but not two. In the ninth Bryce 209 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: Terrang almost hit by a pitch instinct pulls them back. 210 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: We talked a lot about that on Foul Territory during 211 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: the day. And then Terrang chases a fastball high level. 212 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: That was the game, but they had a chance. Bases 213 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: were loaded there. That was your chance to knock the 214 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: Dodgers and make this a one to one. Even if 215 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Yamamoto dominated, and it's crazy to think that Blake Snell 216 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: dominated like that and the Brewers were in this spot. 217 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: This is a good team, but we talked about them 218 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: in the regular season as a contact team, a patient team, 219 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: and a team that ranked pretty far down there in 220 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: terms of pop Do you think that the Dodgers' attack 221 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: plan is throw strikes. Our stuff is better and we 222 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: don't feel like there are too many power threats, so 223 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: let's just be economical as hell and show off some 224 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: of the best stuff in our game. 225 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: I think their plan is a very old school approach. 226 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 2: When I hit when I got to triple A, the 227 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: pitching coach was like, look, we can look at the lineup. 228 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: We can say, just based on stats, the guys that 229 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 2: you can't walk, and then based on stats, we're gonna 230 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: then look at the guys who you can't just get throw, 231 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 2: get me over pitches. He's like, and I haven't even 232 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 2: seen any of them swing. If you don't drive the 233 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: ball in triple A in the big leagues, good pitchers, 234 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 2: which the Dodgers' pitching staff starting rotation is great, not good, 235 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: they're great, can just attack you with fastballs. Because majority 236 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: of the time you're not going to hit the ball 237 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: out of the ballpark. You have to put the fear 238 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 2: of the home run in the pitching staff to then 239 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: scare them out of the zone. Now we say all 240 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: that to say, look what happens to the teams that 241 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: strike out too much? They look listless. The Phillies have 242 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: to make an adjustment in the postseason. We're seeing so 243 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: many different variations of lineups in this postseason that the 244 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: reality is, whatever you're doing, you have to win the ballgame. 245 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: The Phillies, against this vaunted starting rotation, had leads in 246 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: three games against their starting rotation. They lost all three 247 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: of those games. They were losing in one of those 248 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: games to their starting rotation, they won that game. This 249 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: is the razor thin line that you run in the postseason. 250 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: And when you have a team as deep as the Dodgers, 251 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: a team that plays so well together and has team 252 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: at bats, the lineup at some point seems to pick 253 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,359 Speaker 2: you up and the starting rotation is doing it exactly opposite. 254 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: This time last year, we were going, man, how did 255 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: they survive that Padre series? Ah? Man, they could have 256 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: been the team that was in it. But and yet 257 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: it's the Dodgers that are always coming out on top 258 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: because they just have that slight edge. Yeah. 259 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to speak for Dodger fans here. 260 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: I know there are plenty watching our show right now, 261 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: and also after our show, you can check out Dodgers' territory. 262 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: They're running live too. I imagine that Dodger fans felt 263 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: a lot more nervous last year than they did this year. 264 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: There hasn't been a lot of panic, right. I mean, 265 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: they breezed through the Reds, they took down the Phillies 266 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: in some really exciting games, but we didn't get to 267 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: a game five. And right now they're really in command 268 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: with a two zero Series lead. It felt like maybe 269 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: they could have taken a breath in the World Series 270 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: last year because the National League was so much more 271 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: dominant and well rounded, so it was a gauntlet to 272 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: get through the National League, and then the Yankees, in 273 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: my mind, were not as good as several teams that 274 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: they ran into before that. But this time around, you 275 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: might almost have the opposite equation running. You might have 276 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: it where the Dodgers don't feel like they were too 277 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: tested in the National League side, but then they run 278 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: into a Mariners team that's feeling good and can match 279 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: up against them. Their starters can match up against them. 280 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: Their bullpen right now, traditional bullpen relievers, right traditional relief 281 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: pitchers are better than what the Dodgers are offering. They've 282 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: got a hotter bullpen and lineup wise, I think it's 283 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: pretty close, and the identity of both offenses is pretty close. 284 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: It's a less battle tested Mariners group. But it's just 285 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: something to think about as we look forward here. If 286 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: you're a Dodger fan, you're rooting hard right now for Toronto, 287 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: aren't you? Make this a little bit of a fight? 288 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: Put Seattle in a tough spot, although they played fifteen 289 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: innings in a game five, and it didn't phase that 290 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: much when they headed over to Toronto. So I think 291 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: we're heading into what could be a heavyweight matchup and 292 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: the two teams that deserve to be there. 293 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 2: I think I disagree with you as the lineup. I 294 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: think the Dodgers lineup is much better. You know, you're 295 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 2: you're not running out, You're you know, especially facing if 296 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 2: you're talking about it looking ahead, because this is definitely 297 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 2: way ahead. Facing the Mariners. They're not making any left 298 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: hand left hand starters are not making any starts. So 299 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: to me, you have your best starting rotation, you have 300 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: your best starting lineup out there against righty's. I think 301 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 2: the Dodgers are deeper, but that's why you play these games, 302 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 2: and this is why I would encourage every organization to 303 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: push all in. Some will say it's not fair. Look 304 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: what the Dodgers do. They've been in every game besides 305 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: the Reds. They've been in every game with the Dodgers. 306 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: And if you think the Dodgers are the if you're 307 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 2: out there and you think that the Dodgers are the 308 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: favorite and you're like, oh man, you can't have you 309 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: have no chance of beating them. I've had a chance 310 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: every single night except for the Reds and maybe tonight, 311 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 2: I would say you didn't have a chance, and I 312 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 2: would stop looking at it as starting rotation and bullpen, 313 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: and I would look at it as which team can 314 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 2: get nine outs first? Because the Mariners aren't going to go. 315 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 2: Dan Wilson has shown he's not going to allow his 316 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: starters to go. John Schneider has shown he's not gonna 317 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: allow his starters to go. Brewers don't have that kind 318 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: of start length. The Dodgers don't have that kind of bullpen. 319 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 2: So it's really about how do you get nine innings 320 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 2: of outs, not nine outs, nine innings of outs twenty 321 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: seven outs. 322 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious how the roadmap can look 323 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: for the Dodgers to either win this an LCS or 324 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: even sweep. What does the roadmap look like for the crew? 325 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I don't. Do you call it an 326 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: approach change? Do you call it some bad command outings 327 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: from the Dodgers? Do you call it riding pitchers up 328 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: in terms of pitch count to get to the bullpen 329 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: and cracking that open. The Brewers have had a lot 330 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: of comeback wins this year, you know, it's a pesky offense, 331 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: but it's not intimidating for LA Right now, how does 332 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 1: it turn around? 333 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 2: If I mean you go into the glass Now game, 334 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: he's not thrown strikes. You take advantage of that. He 335 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: walks a few guys, that's an automatic double. They're gonna 336 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: take advantage of the opportunity that maybe glass Now is unhittable, 337 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: but he's not unscorable against. Like you can get some 338 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: runs if they play their game. I'll I'll triple down, 339 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: quadruple down on it. Like you have to play your game. 340 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: And you can't say we're going to change our approach 341 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 2: other than understand who the next starter is, Understand what 342 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: show Hay is going to do to you. Understand that 343 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: glass Now's m has been elite dominating stuff. But you 344 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 2: got to bring him in the zone. And it's gonna 345 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: be tough because you're like, well, ninety nine is cutting 346 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: at the top of the zone. I can't tell if 347 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: that's gonna be going back down into the zone because 348 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: now he added the slider, that curveball. I gotta see 349 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 2: it at my eyes to be able to swing at it. 350 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: Middle middle, So that means middle middle. I gotta take it, 351 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 2: but I got to recognize it, and you work that 352 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 2: way where you could go like a six inning outing 353 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 2: with Glass now and now you're like, okay, we have 354 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: about two innings where we can really add on here, 355 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: but they got to get guys on and Glass now 356 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: can't hold runners, so that could be that could be 357 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: a path. Now all of a sudden, it's two to one. 358 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 2: Now you figure out how to win one of the 359 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: next two games. Show hey, pitches, he gets tired, maybe 360 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: his bat doesn't come around. Because the Dodgers lineup really 361 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: isn't hitting very well tonight. They did. Can you keep 362 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: them down? That's the only way they do it? 363 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 1: Okay, it would be a nightmare for Dodger fans. Doesn't 364 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: sound like it's very lightly, but we've seen two oh comebacks. 365 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Three to zero comebacks are tough. They exist, but they're 366 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: very tough. Two oh comebacks are a thing for me. 367 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: It's hard to see them when you look at how 368 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: teams are playing. Right and we've been surprised before because 369 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: things can turn in our sport. There's a lot of 370 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: unpredictable moments in baseball, but look the way these teams 371 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: match up. It's just hard to see the Dodgers with 372 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: the guys they're throwing out there, falling in four out 373 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: of five. Coming up, let's finish with this series. More 374 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: likely to take a turn ALCS or NLCS. 375 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like it has to be the Alcs. 376 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 2: Even though the pitching matchup there doesn't look great for 377 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, it's very power. There's a lot of parallels. 378 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: The Mariners are in control, they're starting rotation, the pitching 379 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 2: matchup is in their favor. The Dodgers are in control, 380 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: starting rotation in their favor in the next two games. 381 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 2: I just I have a hard time believing that the 382 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 2: that the that the Brewers can come back from this 383 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: in LA up against the pitchers that they have to face. 384 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 2: So I'm going to say the Mariners have a better 385 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: chance of blowing this lead. 386 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: Still small chance though, Yeah, I'm with you and I 387 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: agree Mariners. But it's hard to see it on either 388 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: side right now. But I would definitely go Mariners. I 389 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: think the Blue Jays offense is dynamic, not that the 390 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: Brewers isn't, but I mean, I think the Dodgers pitching 391 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: right now just has the answer against Milwaukee. It's a 392 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: more battle tested crew too. Most of those Mariners players 393 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: have never been in a spot like this. It doesn't 394 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: necessarily matter, but I'll go with that pick as well. Okay, 395 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: here's the Deal Bowl territory. Every day one to three Eastern, 396 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: so we'll be back on tomorrow. 397 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: Tomorrow. 398 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: A guest list includes Tyler Kepner from the Athletic and 399 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: Seth McClung.
