So 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 5: the world is healing. We don't have again, all due respect, 30 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 5: we don't have Rangers and Diamondbacks from a year ago. 31 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 5: This is what baseball needed. 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: Well, I can tell you that we're excited because Dodgers 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 2: territory is a lot more fun when we're talking about 34 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: our own team and being in the postseason. Don't forget 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: to watch a Pinstripe territory as well. Our friend Derek 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: Lewandowski does a tremendous job with them. We'll probably have 37 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: a crossover show coming up sometime this week, maybe on Thursday. 38 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: We'll keep you posted, but stay right here with Clint 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: and I because we're going to have every single you know, 40 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: our normal shows during the weekend. Of course post games 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: for you as well. Dave Roberts Clint Masterclass of Managerial 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 2: Duties this year, I think probably better than any other 43 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: year of his tenure. One of six managers in history 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: to win four or more league titles since postseason expanded 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: beyond the World Series in nineteen sixty nine. I was 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: a little concerned in the DS. I made the mistake. 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: And I tell you what, he's managed his butt off 48 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: in this postseason so far in twenty twenty four. 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about it last night. 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 5: What we've seen out of Dave in this postseason, the 51 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 5: fact that he's able to tune out the noise keep 52 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 5: this team, you know, on on course, along with you know, 53 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 5: some very good field generals he has in that clubhouse 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 5: as well. It's keep going with masterclass because he's playing 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 5: every card. He understands all of the bs that he 56 00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 5: will get if. 57 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 3: The Dodgers get bounce in that first round. 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 5: Honestly deservedly so even if it's you know, he's not 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 5: the guy out there, he's not the reason they're missing 60 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 5: all of these starting pitchers and all that. He's not 61 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 5: even the reason the Dodgers went out and got themselves 62 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 5: a Tommy Edmond. But still somebody has to answer. Somebody 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 5: has to be the guy that takes accountability. It's not 64 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 5: going to be Andrew Friedman. It's not gonna be Brandon 65 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 5: Gomes and usually Dave. Like he told us when he 66 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 5: joined us a couple months ago, he hears the noise, 67 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 5: he tunes it out. Doesn't have social media going, and 68 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 5: he's finally learned how to really not learn. But the 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 5: way he played everybody in this postseason so far, the 70 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 5: Machado situation us to a degree, it's impressive. It is very, 71 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 5: very impressive, taking the heat off of the boys so 72 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 5: they can go out there and play some meaningful baseball games. 73 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: Well, he doesn't have social media, but I can tell 74 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: you that his kids do, because when I was questioning 75 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: what was going on early on in the DS, they 76 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: both slid into my DMS even though they don't have 77 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: to because they have my phone number, and they were like, 78 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: wait a minute, wait a minute. You've known him for 79 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 2: a long time. You know better than to question what's happening. 80 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: And they're right, They're absolutely right. And I said, listen, 81 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: I know you guys are texting with your heart, but 82 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: I've always had your dad's back, so good for him. 83 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the overall sentiment Clinton going 84 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: into this World Series, this is an unbelievably tight knit group. 85 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: We've heard from Mookie Betts about it. Obviously, Brett Honeywell 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: and Max Munsey had some really good postseason sound with 87 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: our post game sound with David Veasse. I mean some 88 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: emotional stuff. What's your overall takeaway from the sentiment and 89 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: the tight knit group. 90 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 5: We talked a little bit about it last night, and 91 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 5: of course we hadn't watched any of the postgame stuff, 92 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 5: any of the drunken celebration because we were live enjoying 93 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 5: some wine and some modello ourselves, because we deserve to 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 5: celebrate with the boys at least a little bit. Through 95 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 5: all the adversity, all the injuries, all the times where 96 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 5: maybe lesser men, lesser teams would kind of call it 97 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 5: a season, they use that fuel the they've used that 98 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 5: to spark them to get better, to play more for themselves. 99 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 5: I said last night, you know the fact that Freddie 100 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 5: Freeman is injured and the Dodgers aren't skipping a beat 101 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 5: with Freddie Freeman out of the lineup. 102 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: It's it's so dang good. 103 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 5: Max Munty just sliding over there, being selfless as a teammate, 104 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 5: playing third, playing first, being an on base machine and 105 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 5: being a very, very big vocal leader for this team 106 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 5: as well. So you mentioned that interview with Dave Vasse, 107 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 5: friend of the show, and Brent Honeywell, so many great things, 108 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 5: and I recommend anybody go online just find it. It's 109 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 5: a five minute interview where one of the things I 110 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 5: really really liked about it is is, you know, the 111 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 5: last couple of years, Alana, we've heard about the five 112 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 5: day layoff, and we've we've witnessed the five day layoff, 113 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 5: the team come out pretty flat. 114 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: This time. I very much appreciate the message. Listen. I've 115 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: never been a big leaguer, but. 116 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 5: I I having like the boys say, Look, you get 117 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 5: a chance to be a husband in three weeks. You 118 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 5: get a chance to be a father in three weeks. 119 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 5: You could be a boyfriend in three weeks. Right now, 120 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: give this team your time the next three weeks. 121 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: It's us and that's it. 122 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 5: Let's focus here, Let's grind it out eight hours a day, 123 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 5: spend time with each other. 124 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: And you're seeing that play out on the field, Like 125 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: these guys are. 126 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 5: They're hungry, they want it, but it's not just it's 127 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 5: not for them, it's not for the name on the 128 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 5: back it's for all of the names on the front 129 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 5: of the jersey, and it's it's special. 130 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 3: It's special. 131 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: And I love the fact that you know, Max tells, honeywell, 132 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: after game five, you just want us game six. I mean, 133 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: that's got to make a guy feel unbelievably special when 134 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: a veteran player like Max Munsey comes over to a 135 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 2: guy that wasn't even on the opening day, you know 136 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: picture and says, the way that you were able to 137 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 2: perform in game five just gave us the ability to 138 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: win game six. That's got to make you feel really good. 139 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: And again, it was all over the place as far 140 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: as contributions from up and down the lineup. It was 141 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: all over the place for them to just be a 142 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: complete team that they needed to be. And it was 143 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: really special to see much more to come. We're actually 144 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: going to have Steven Nelson join us here momentarily. He 145 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: obviously covers the team on a daily basis, not only 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: for Sports LA but also on AM five point seventy 147 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: on the radio with Rick Monday.

Obviously, 174 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: we are talking about super Slugger Aaron Judge and super 175 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: Slugger show Hey Otani, which by the way, has not 176 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: ever had a taste of the postseason until this year. 177 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: Everybody in the and their mother wanted to see Show 178 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: Hey in the season, and we got what we wanted. 179 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: This is gonna be one heck of a matchup. I mean, 180 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: just as just as a pure baseball fan, forget if 181 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: you're a fan of the Yankees or the Dodgers or 182 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: another club, you've got to love to see how this 183 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: is gonna how it's gonna play out. 184 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, this is every bit of a star power world 185 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 5: series that we're going to be witnessing from. You know, 186 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 5: the guys in the Batter's box. You got Judge, like 187 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 5: you said, you do have Stanton making a world series here, 188 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 5: But sho Hey Otani, Mooki bets back in the world series. 189 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 5: Garrett Cole in there, Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets you know, his 190 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 5: first year as a big leaguer gets to the biggest 191 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 5: stage very much looking forward to this World Series. Uh, 192 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 5: pretty evenly matched teams, question mark. 193 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think they are evenly matched. 194 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: And we're gonna ask Steven Nelson what he thinks about 195 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: how well the Dodgers match up with the big bad 196 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: New York Yankees. Of course kind enough to join us 197 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: now here on Dodgers territory. I believe it's still the 198 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: highest rated dodg territory we've had so far. If it's 199 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: not the highest rated, Stephen Nelson is certainly up there 200 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: in the top five. So he of course is on 201 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: Sports in at La. Is also on a M five 202 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 2: seventy on with Rick Monday on the radio call in 203 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: the game. So we're gonna get him up here shortly. 204 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: But I tell you what, I think they are very 205 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: even in that. Oh my goodness, look at this. 206 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 4: Look at this. Yeah, I guys, hold on top five 207 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: what I hopped on. I got the very tail end. 208 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: Of that five shows. Ever, like in terms of rating 209 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: when you were on, if you're not the highest rated show, 210 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 2: you're in the top five for sure. 211 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 4: Oh okay, yeah, okay, I'll take that. I'll take that. 212 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was like top top five 213 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: Jabroni's i've ever worked with. 214 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: Heard that was before you popped on But no, no, no, 215 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: top five highest rated shows that you that we've had here. 216 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: I think this is our sixty eighth episode, and you 217 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: are certainly in the top five, if not number one. 218 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: All right, Steven Nelson, you cover this team on a 219 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: daily basis on both the radio and on the television side. 220 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: How evenly matched up do you think this World Series is? 221 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 4: Oh, that's a great question. 222 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: Honestly, Like this is because of just the way I've 223 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: grown up as a sports fan, I tend to have 224 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: a pessimistic lens of my sports life. My first jokes aside, 225 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: my first thought was don't love. The aspect of this 226 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: matchup that I don't love is the home run the Dodgers, 227 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, the last three months of the year I 228 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: gave up I think the third most home runs in 229 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: all of baseball and the Yankees the last time I checked. 230 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Though I don't cover them on a day to day basis, 231 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: they have a few decent home run. 232 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: Hitters on their team. 233 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: So that was kind of the most glaring thing that 234 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: jumped out from a pessimistic standpoint. 235 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: But I am looking on the whole. I love the 236 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 4: Dodger pen. 237 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: Hopefully they can get a couple of those dogs back, 238 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: and namely Alex ves See Bruce Dargretro. I know Bazook 239 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: has been busting his tail to get back in this thing. 240 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: You know, those would be two huge lifts. I don't 241 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: know how that impacts the rest of the roster. Obviously, 242 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: they have four days to. 243 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 4: Get guys right. 244 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: You know, would much prefer Freddy Freeman's ankle be at 245 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. It won't be close to that by 246 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: the time Friday rolls around. But yeah, I think I 247 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: think there's just a ton of balance, right, I think 248 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: there there's just a beautiful and poetic balance to to 249 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 1: this dream matchup from Major League Baseball. Right, It's it's 250 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: l A and New York. It's the Dodgers and the Yankees. 251 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: You have two of the most iconic brands in all 252 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: of sports, uh, the interlocking l A and the interlocking NY. 253 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: You have Otani and Judge, you have Betts and Soto, 254 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you have you know, Freeman and Stanton and so on 255 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: and so forth, Cole and Yamamoto. I guess you know 256 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty, who was traded to the Yankees for all 257 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: intents and purposes at the line now pitching for his 258 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: hometown club. So I mean, you're just again, you know, 259 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: how spoiled are we with this World Series? Just everything 260 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: that we you know, we can go through and dice. 261 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, after over the initial. 262 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 4: Like I don't want to see that many I don't. 263 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: Like the home run ball, you know, then then you 264 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: look at it and you're like, okay, this is it's 265 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: really you couldnt ask for a better World Series matchup. 266 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 5: He couldn't ask for much better of a of a 267 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 5: punch to the World Series. There you on the radio 268 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 5: last night the Dodgers win the pennant. What's it like 269 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 5: colling a moment like that for this Dodgers club where 270 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: you get. 271 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 3: To rock that l a what do we call that 272 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 3: bucket on a bucket? 273 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: But you look, this is the is the Father's Day 274 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: Beach at yes one of one of the one of 275 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: the outstanding giveaways this year. 276 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 4: So it was. 277 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: Again because you know, I'm relative new to this play 278 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: by thing play by play thing, right, and the experience 279 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: that I do have is on the television side. You know, 280 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: I hadn't done radio since college, and due respect to 281 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: my beloved Chapman Panthers, Chapman baseball and Dodger baseball are 282 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: two very different things, very different things. So you know, 283 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: I've a huge debt that I owe to both Rick 284 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Monday and Dwayne McDonald and David Veasse and Colin ye 285 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: who have taken care of me on that side and 286 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, trying to bring me along and you know, 287 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: shorten the learning curve as much as we could throughout 288 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: this season. But as it pertains to last night in particular, 289 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: like I just never really envision being in that scenario 290 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: because in TV, you the torch gets past the national 291 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: guys once the season comes to an end, and so 292 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: you never really have to worry about that or think 293 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: about it. So I sure as tell did not think 294 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: about it. And then honestly, once Blake got the second out, 295 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: I was like, I probably should have thought about this 296 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more. 297 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 4: I should have wrote some things down. 298 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: I did not, And you know, as it played out, 299 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: like you know, you know Albert's hits the ground ball 300 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: to Cete, uh, you know, I just it was just 301 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: sort of just this you know, natural and human reaction 302 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: to you know them climbing the National League Mountain, so 303 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: to speak. Uh, and then when we went to the 304 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: first break, I was like, damn, I probably should have 305 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: had something in the back pocket there, But I you know, 306 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: who knows, That's just me. I'm like a classic overthinker 307 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: about literally everything in life, as Alana definitely knows more. 308 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: But you know, hope, hopefully, hopefully Dodger fans don't hate 309 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: it too much. But it was definitely a surreal thing 310 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: to be a part of that night. 311 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, a moment in time. And did a great job 312 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: on the airwaves. Of course, Steven, let me ask you, 313 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: if you are Dave Roberts, if you're Andrew Friedman, if 314 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: you're putting together this rotation, everyone's going to be well rested, 315 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: so you can go any way you want. You know, 316 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: Garrett Coles throwing for the Yankees in Game one, who 317 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: were you throwing for the Dodgers. 318 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 4: I think it's got to be Oshimomoto. 319 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: I just I think you know, it sets him up 320 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: to you know, you guarantee him a couple of turns, 321 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: you know. If that happens, though, if he pitches Game one, 322 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: then you don't have him in New York and obviously, 323 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: Well remember what happens in the summer when he was 324 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: there in New York I But that that doesn't that 325 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: does not matter. I I know, I know Walkers is 326 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: raring to go and giving his experience in the big game, 327 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: Like do you do you put him in a spot 328 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: where he's guaranteed two turns? I know they liked him 329 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: on the road against the Mets and that worked out, 330 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: and so I you know, Jack's best turn was at 331 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: home this last series by far, obviously. So I I 332 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: think if it were me, if it were me again, 333 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: my guess would be I'm a mode of flairity buller. 334 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: But I don't know the way that the bullpen games 335 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: have been utilized this postseason that they're gonna have to 336 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: take that into account. And and as Doc was pretty 337 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: consistent in detailing throughout the NFCS, it's game to game. 338 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: So if if game one, if game if the game 339 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: one dominoes fall right, and you know, they get a 340 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: lengthy start out of Yama, out of Jack, out of whomever, 341 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: then they might want to roll a bullpen game in 342 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: game two. I don't know, but like if you're just 343 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: looking at it from the starting pitching standpoint, if I 344 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: were to have removed the bullpen game element from the equation, 345 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: I just think that, you know, let's let's get Yama 346 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: game one and and go from there. 347 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels like, finally, for once, some good problems 348 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 5: for the Dodgers to have. Everybody should be available with 349 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 5: this World Series starting on Friday. 350 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 3: We saw a lot of exuberance. 351 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 5: We saw a lot of excitement, well well earned and 352 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 5: well deserved excitement in that clubhouse last night. We were 353 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 5: talking before you came on about particularly Max Munty's talking 354 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 5: to Dave Basse some stuff. 355 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 3: That makes you want to run through a brick wall. 356 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 3: What have you kind of seen from this team as. 357 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 5: The season has gone on, and you know, going through 358 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 5: different speed bumps, roadblocks, injuries after injuries, watching these guys 359 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 5: come together, new pieces in there like a taoscar Hernandez show. 360 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 5: Hey o, Tani, all of these pieces coming together to 361 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 5: make I'm calling it, you know, the best Dodger team 362 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 5: I've seen in I don't know a very very long time. 363 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 5: Because seventeen was good, I think this team might be 364 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 5: better than seventeen. With all the respect to Alana, who 365 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 5: very much loves a lot of the dudes on those teams. 366 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 5: What's it like in that clubhouse to seeing it come 367 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 5: together over the course of six plus months. 368 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: Look, I think you know, the best team, most talented team, 369 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: those are up for debate and argument. I don't know 370 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: if it is when it comes to the most resilient. 371 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: I mean, this group has had. 372 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: So many valid excuses to just sort of take the 373 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: foot off the gas exhale and let Jesus take the wheel, right, 374 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, it just it doesn't doesn't doesn't seem like 375 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: it's going for us. So we're going full thelmb on 376 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: the weis off the cliff and you know, we'll try 377 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: again next year like it just. 378 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 4: But they haven't. 379 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: And I love how transparent that they have been during 380 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: this postseason run about that team meeting in Atlanta, because 381 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they know I was there for the first 382 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: Dome second game of that series at four game set, 383 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: and you know, they lost the first two obviously, and 384 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: it just it looked like that that second game was 385 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: the day they found out Glass was going to be 386 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: done for the year, and it just looked like that 387 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: was going to be the final blow for this team. 388 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: And so the. 389 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: Fact that Doc and the players were able to kind 390 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: of get it all out there and talk about those 391 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: feelings that talk about that uncertainty and that doubt and 392 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: it hits your confidence. Like clearly that that vulnerability made 393 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: them stronger. And I've only been here for two years, 394 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: so and you know, you can't really compare this run 395 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: to last year's run because they never took a step 396 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: in last year's run getting swept out of the Division series. 397 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: But the difference in max sort of alluded to it, 398 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: not sort of definitely alluded to it in that postgame interview. 399 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: The way that this group has attacked this postseason with 400 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: a commitment to each other compared to last year. Last year, 401 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: that first series, it's felt like they were kind of 402 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: it was just a regular season series. Like the travel 403 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: logistics were the same, the preparation. You know, during the 404 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: bye they tried to tweak, but they were just sort 405 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: of searching. Well, this year it's like players got their 406 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: own plane. You know, they're not traveling. They're they're not 407 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: traveling with the staff or their families or their kids. 408 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: Like they are committed to each other and they are 409 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: locked in as a group and an Alana Again, you 410 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: can provide better perspective than I can, just because I 411 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: only have last year to go on. I don't know 412 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: how often in the postseason that the players have had 413 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: their own plane. I do believe that they're so so 414 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: I think that this year, this year's group has made 415 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: it a point to say hey, and to to steal 416 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: Max's words, we're. 417 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 4: Gonna be boys for three weeks, give me three weeks. 418 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: No one's gonna think you're a bad dad, or a 419 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: bad husband or a bad partner. You're going to be 420 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: a great teammate and we're going to get through this together, 421 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: one through thirty, even the guys through in the taxi squad, 422 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: even if it's the last guy on the staff in 423 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: honey like, we're all going to lock in these trenches 424 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: together and you know, commit to the ultimate goal, which 425 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 1: is the World Series and other four wins away from 426 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: doing so. So the only thing I can speak to 427 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: is the resilience and the commitment as a group, which 428 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: seems to be different than in years past. 429 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 2: That is incredible because I remember all the years that 430 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 2: I've wor with them, seven straight seasons, we all traveled 431 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 2: together and it was an absolute traveling circus. I mean, 432 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 2: you did have guys like bringing you know all the kids, 433 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: the giraffes, the you know, the baby seats. I remember 434 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: having baby seats in my row. I was just like, 435 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: what is happening here? But now that's good for them because, 436 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: you know what, it may seem like a long time, 437 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 2: but three weeks in the grand scheme of things is 438 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. I don't know that anybody would have had 439 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 2: Stephen Tommy Edman as their NLCS MVP on their Bago card. 440 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: And if you said you had it, you're lying, what's 441 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: your X factor going into the World Series? Because he 442 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 2: was the X factor in the CS. 443 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 444 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: Look, this is a point Mom made throughout these first 445 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: two series is that when it comes to the postseason, 446 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: you hope and expect that your stars will be stars. 447 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: So Otani, Bets Freeman, those are your stars. They're gonna 448 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: do their thing. But to win eleven games in October, 449 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot more than just the stars. 450 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: And so for Max Munsey to be the on base 451 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: threat that he was in the season in the series 452 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: against New York and for Tommy Edmond to deliver consistently 453 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: hits in every single game, you know, eleven RBIs to 454 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: match his hit total. Those are the kinds of performances, 455 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: those surprise performances that you have to have to win 456 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: a World Series, and up to this point they have. 457 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: I shared this story on the radio, but it was 458 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: back in May a game at Dodger Stadium. I'm on 459 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: the field during batting practice talking with a couple. 460 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 4: Of members of the front office. 461 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: And I said, look, you know, I know July is 462 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: a long way. The trade deadline is you know, you know, 463 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: a mirror, you know, glimmer on the horizon. But let's 464 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: just say the deadline was next week. Again, this is May. 465 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: Who are you going after? And I kid you not. 466 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: The very first name out of their mouth was Tommy 467 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: Edmund and Tommy at the time was still not close 468 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: to being one hundred percent healthy. 469 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 4: But this is a guy that they. 470 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: Have had on their radar for a while now because, 471 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: as they put it, he's elite at second base, he's 472 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: want to go glove there, He's e leade at short 473 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: and we feel he's elite at center field. 474 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 4: He's a switch hitter. 475 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: He is someone that does not like to strike out, 476 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: and in his career has been a stingy hitter when 477 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: it comes to punching out. 478 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 4: He puts the ball in play. He just he fits 479 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: this team to a tee. 480 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: And you remember that time you know was still short 481 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: was a huge question mark, right, Mookie was still going 482 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: through his growing pains at the position. And so the 483 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: fact that they not only had the opportunity but got 484 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: it done to trade for Edmund at the deadline, Uh, 485 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: they that was a guy that they were committed to 486 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: for a long time. And despite despite being there being 487 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: a ton of questions about his own health. You know, 488 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: last year he was playing basically with one hand and 489 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: he had to have risk surgery and that took a 490 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: while to get right, and then once the risk got right, 491 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: then he messed up his ankle. And so you know, 492 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,719 Speaker 1: Tommy has joked that he feels like he's in mid 493 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: season form because this basically is the middle of his season. 494 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: And uh, I guess to this point now, I'm excited 495 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: to see what postseason form is like, because mid season 496 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: is pretty damn good for Tommy. 497 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 4: Edmund is so deserving. 498 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: He is an angel of a human like like like, 499 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: it's one of the nicest guys. 500 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 4: I've come across in my time and made league baseball. 501 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: And so you know, another guy that you just drop 502 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: into that Dodger. 503 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: Clubhouse and without a worry. 504 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: So uh, he's been massive, and now you wonder who's 505 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: going to be next.
