1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: The Dodgers won another blowout in New York City over

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: the Mets. This one was ten to two in the

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: end of Game four. The Best of seven NLCS is

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: now at three games for the Dodgers to one game

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: for the New York Mets. If the Dodgers win tonight,

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: they are going to the World Series. That's what Welcome

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: to Dodger Blue Dream Daily. I'm Richard Parks the third

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: and it's hard to pick one thing that's going right.

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a great start, Muki Bets had his

11
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: best game of the postseason so far. Our bullpen held

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: the Mets lineup at bay, and we had contributions from

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: up and down offensively. Let's recap a game where it

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: seems like everything went right for the Dodgers and every

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: opportunity was taken advantage of, and conversely for the New

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: York Mets, although there were plenty of opportunities, nothing worked out,

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: and the television broadcast got to do the thing where

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: they show the close ups of all the fans with

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: their head in their hands and crying.

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: Well, the fans that have not hit the exits covered

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 1: up their eyes, and.

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: I feel sorry for you, guys, but the Dodgers are cooking.

23
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: It is Friday, October eighteenth, twenty twenty four. Game five

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: of the NLCS is at two eight pm, very specifically

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: Pacific time in New York. Today we've got La native

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty on the mound and the Dodgers have a

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: chance to win the nl pennant today. My VENMO name

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: is Richard hyphen Parks three. That's the Roman numeral three

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: capital eyes. Please send me money. I really want to

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: buy a ticket to a World Series game.

31
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: But first about last night? What is up?

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Game four about to start at five oh eight, very

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: specifically Pacific time.

34
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,279
Speaker 1: No Freddy in the lineup today?

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Freddie had an incredibly rare day offting his bomb ankle.

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: Was that cause for concern?

37
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: There's a shot.

38
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: Right center field and Otani lights the fire all laid

39
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: off home run Dodgers one mets nothing in Game four.

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: It's hard to feel concern when sho Heo Tani hits

41
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: a one hundred and sixteen mile per hour exit v

42
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: low home run to lead off the game. But if

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 2: I had to pick one standout last night from the

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 2: Dodgers offensive route, it would be the third MV three

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: Mookie bets, bitch bets with a pull of down the

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: left field line, that's gonna scoot by.

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Nimo Taylor's in the score. Otani said it for home.

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: Lindor won't even try a throw two run double mookie bets.

49
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: The Mets seemed to be trying to pitch around sho

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: heo Tani and walked him three times after this, and

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: so Muki went four for four season. Boki betss a

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: high fly ball to deep left field. Nimmo's doing beat.

53
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: It's gone, Bookie Bets, go steep. The Dodgers are booking

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: and open, and he's got another bit of hit here.

55
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: Afoord it game for Bookie Betts.

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: A double, a single, a home run, three runs scored

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: and four RBIs heye, And even Big Poppy wants us

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 2: to close this one out.

59
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: I got a question so that he can take the

60
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: weekend off.

61
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: Well, how you guys gonna be the met because I

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: really need some day off. I don't know, man, we

63
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: know that they're gonna come back.

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: Come on, little homie, keep it going. Speaking of the

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: little homies, shout out to the other short king from

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers who was getting it done last night Yoshinobu Yamamoto,

67
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: who had a very solid start. He dealt with a

68
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: lot of traffic on the base paths, but he didn't

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: let those runners come in. We won this game ten

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: to two, and that's on top of the four shutout

71
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: wins we've had already this postseason, including two against the Mets,

72
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: who are for seventeen with runners on in games one, three,

73
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: and four of this series. And this is unexpectedly good.

74
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: I mean, going into the post if you asked me

75
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: what the Dodgers' weakness was, I would say pitching, for sure,

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: especially starting pitching, and starting pitching is what helps you

77
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: get deep in the postseason. But our bullpen has been

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: as good as it's been all season, and the starters

79
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: are finding ways to get out of jams, which is

80
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: the only thing that has given these recent wins some

81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: amount of edge, because if you looked at the box score,

82
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: we're basically.

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: Cruising through these games.

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: And I said at the beginning that we've had contributions

85
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: from up and down the lineup, and obviously that's true.

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: If we scored ten runs, our boy Chris Taylor CT.

87
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 2: Three even had a knock and a run scored in

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: this game. Max Munsey tied a postseason record by getting

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: on base for the twelfth consecutive time, and Kik had

90
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: a couple hits and knocked in a run. I mean,

91
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: I don't want to get cocky, but what is going

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: on here? What do you think, little homie MOOKI? It's

93
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 2: the second game we won without Freddy, so maybe Freddy

94
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: need to not play anything funny joke, But Freddy's getting

95
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: the start today in Game five of the National League

96
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: Championship Series. The Dodgers have a chance with a win

97
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: to guarantee their trip to the World Series this year,

98
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: and we've got Jack Flaherty on the mound, who's fully rested.

99
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: You guys are one win away from the World Series

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: and the balls going in your hand.

101
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: How's that feeling.

102
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun. You know, you move on

103
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: from Game one and you look forward to this one

104
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: and you.

105
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: Look forward to it.

106
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: But is there something inside of you that's like, you

107
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: know what, this is going to be that big stage,

108
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: and I'm going to be that starting pitcher for that

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: stage to perform.

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: No, you're just taking one game at a time, one

111
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: day at a time, and you got to stay in

112
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: the moments, stay present. So that's that's what it's all about.

113
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: You seem to be keeping a lot of their emotion inside.

114
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: Is that Is that something you purposely do to make

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: sure you get ready.

116
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: It's just the truth of the truth of it is

117
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: it's just you got able to stay in the moment,

118
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: and then you start thinking about all these other things

119
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: going on and all this other stuff going on on

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: the outside and start getting out of whack. I really

121
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: like that attitude. Let's stay humble. All we have is now.

122
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,159
