1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Charging about what do we have in this Yankees Red

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Sox series? Uh, where do we start?

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean do we start? Where do we start?

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: With the game yesterday? First of all, Freed and Crochet

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: pitched amazing. Yeah, both of them are really good. Crochet

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: gave up the early run to Volpi, you know Ken's

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: X factor, and he hit the home run and you're thinking, okay,

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: here we go, and that was it. That was it

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: for the Yankee offense. Judge had a couple of hits,

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: singles final, they had a couple of chances. They had

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: first and second in the first inning. Nobody out didn't score.

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Did in the game?

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: Huh?

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: Do you leave Freed in the game? I mean what

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: to finish, not to finish the game, but just to

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: give you more. I mean, Crochet didn't finish the game.

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: But if he handed the ball to chev he handed

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,959
Speaker 1: the ball to the closer and.

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: One of the strengths of the team, though, by the

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: way of the Yankees, was supposed to be their bullpen.

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: So you're thinking, all right, well, he's handing it to Weaver.

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: He's been one of their I mean he struggled a

23
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: little bit in the second but he's been one of

24
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: their best for a couple of years now, so you're thinking, okay,

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: he can get through it. And then there's also something

26
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: that has came up a lot too, is Aaron Judge Zelbo.

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: Remember when so Guard hit the double, if he has

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: a normal arm, I don't think he challenges him there.

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: But Judge got it, backhanded it and he gave it

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: all you have. But so Guard outran it. Not ended

31
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: up being huge because then Yoshida got the hit that

32
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: drove in two, right, that would have been first and third.

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: Maybe a little different situation, but that was a big

34
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: thing too. There's so much to dissect, and you got

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: Jazz not talking to the reporters while talking to him,

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: but like not.

37
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Talking to him back towards him.

38
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: I mean, Chapman going from ninety five to one hundred

39
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: and one after the bases got loaded. I mean it was.

40
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: It was an intriguing game.

41
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: Bases loaded, Nobody outcrats, nobody scores.

42
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: And if you need to score more, you left town

43
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: many home runs on the bench. Essentially, you had Jazz

44
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: on the bench early. You had Ben Rice on the

45
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: bench early, like I get it, like you had if

46
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: you had to get to those lefties and get to

47
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: the bullpen righties. Then you can't have a six pitch

48
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: seventh inning. Your guys can't go out there and make

49
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 3: three outs on six pitches just so you don't strike out.

50
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: You have to build his pitch count up up up.

51
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: And it fell right into it, fell right into AC's hands.

52
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: Alice Korra was like, this is the perfect spot in

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: the lineup. They already set it up, so there's a

54
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: bunch of lefties, so we'll just mow through this. Crochet

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: is gonna throw a billion and we'll never even go

56
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: to our righties.

57
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: What's the computer system that the Yankees bow.

58
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: To Basse.

59
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Bass?

60
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 3: It's called bass yep.

61
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: So Bass said no jazz today, even though you've played

62
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: him in these spots most of the time, and then

63
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: bring him in later in the game for defense, and

64
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: then you still face the left. Do you think, guys,

65
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: do you think Bass isn't a Yankees fan.

66
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: Base is a Red Sox fan.

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean they do whatever Bass says. Do you think

68
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: that Bass could be rooting against just like some people

69
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: think AI is eventually going to turn on humans, maybe

70
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: Bass has already turned on the end and the terminator.

71
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 2: Where's Sarah Connor. We need to find Sarah Connor right now.

72
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: I joke, but I'm also serious, Like they do bow

73
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: down to that thing. It's true they do.

74
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: All teams do.

75
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: Though what Tory Lavella said, I don't make the lineup.

76
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: It's a it's a decision, that's a committee based decision.

77
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: Bass would have said, removed Garrett Crochet earlier yesterday. They

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: would have said, he doesn't the way he was like that. No, no,

79
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: human says stay. Basse says, no, this is past the

80
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: pitch limit, isn't it.

81
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: He was.

82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: Base might even Base might even see the fact that

83
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: Garrett Crochet is a cyborg too, and Base might be like,

84
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: I appreciate machines playing the games. This is where we

85
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: want to get to anyway.

86
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: But Max Frieda had given up a run out, hustled

87
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Duranda first, let me eat Vello went down. What a

88
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: tick and a half over the course of a game. Okay,

89
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: still looked damn effect.

90
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: That sleeper going and she had a good change up

91
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: yesterday and they weren't touching him.

92
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: This could be the decision that decides their entire season.

93
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: A team that's all year.

94
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: No, you can't score one run. Sorry. It's also the

95
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: first time in history, I thought I saw I don't

96
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: know if that's right history where the team had in

97
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: the bottom of the night bases loaded no outs and

98
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: didn't score run and didn't win the game.

99
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: But you're facing Crochet, who's a top three starter in

100
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: the sport, and you're facing the best closer in baseball

101
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: this year, and Chapman and the Red Sox said, Nope,

102
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: not going to get to anything else. Crochet told that

103
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: to Korra. He's like, it's me and Chappie. Nobody else

104
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: gets to pitch tonight.

105
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

106
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: That is awesome.

107
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: That's freaking awesome. I love that.

108
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Krats, go ahead. And then I got a question

109
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: for you.

110
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 3: No, no, I was just gonna say, we had a

111
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: night last night, not just in that game of just

112
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: dominating left handed pitchers, go across all the games. Four games.

113
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 3: You saw obviously Boyd pitched well, but then you saw

114
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: Trek Scoogel, you saw Max Freed, you saw Garrett Crochet,

115
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: you saw Blake Snell. That was some absolute monsters throwing

116
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: cheese from the left side. Maybe the game's changing. It's

117
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: all for lefties now.

118
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: Why here's my question, and I saw this and people

119
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: brought this up too. If you're the Yankees, I guess

120
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: Bass says, you don't play Jazz and ben Rice. They've

121
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: been two of your best hitters and they might run

122
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: into one. I've seen Ben Rice homeruffle Lefty before. I've

123
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: seen jas Chisholm homeruffle. I know it's Crochet, but as

124
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: a med Rosario that big of an upgrade. Yes, he's

125
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: that big of an upgrade. What do you do last night.

126
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: Going into the game, he was six for eight I

127
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: think against Garrett Crochet. Okay, two dangers, two doubles. I

128
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: think that's an upgrade. I just think sucks that they

129
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: ran in they get they ran into Crochet early. If

130
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: that was gonna happen like Jazz played, I think twenty

131
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: seven of the last twenty eight games, or twenty eight

132
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: of the last thirty games. I get it. I but

133
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: you have to have Amed Rosario in there.

134
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: Okay, but we could make this case if the Yankees

135
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: are playing the Tigers, would you do that against Scooble?

136
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Then you're if you're in the best out of seven,

137
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: you're just gonna sit your best some of your best

138
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: hitters in half the series because.

139
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: He played he's left handed.

140
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: It's not, but it's to me. I think the amed

141
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: Rosario one is they took the numbers and then they

142
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: were like, that's too much to ignore. How can we

143
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 3: ignore last time they faced him he had a dinger

144
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: and Fenway and I think he had a double off

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: the wall too. You gotta go with your best matchup there.

146
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 3: When you're facing an elite pitcher, you're not just you're not.

147
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: You're talking about two dudes Tarrek Scubel and Garrett Crochet

148
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: that are not your typical lefties.

149
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: What do you tell Jazz Chisholm before the game and

150
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: then after the game, Kratz if you're Aaron Boone before

151
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: the game, as in, hey, I know we've been playing

152
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: you in these spots basically the entire year, and you

153
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: had a thirty thirty season for us, but we're sitting you.

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: And then after the game when he turns his back

155
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: to reporters as a grown adult, it's not cool, right either,

156
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Do the interviewer don't like, I think you're better off.

157
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to speak for the media side here, Like, dude,

158
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: if you're not even looking at me and like you

159
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: don't want to do it, like I'd rather not right,

160
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: like I'll just come back or just tell me you

161
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to me today. To me, that

162
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: is just disrespectful to a human being. Like I think

163
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: we're all humans. We should treat each other that way.

164
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: It's two minutes. I've done these things in the locker

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: rooms a billion times. Most of the time, it is

166
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: two minutes. We are in the clubhouse awkwardly so that

167
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: we spend as little time as possible disrupting the lifestyle

168
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: of a player. Right, if it was up to me,

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: bring him to another room, let's get good time to

170
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: say down. We're not doing that because we know you're busy.

171
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: Two minutes at your locker asking five questions with twenty

172
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: second answers. That's the whole thing. Can you turn to

173
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: me and look at me like a man?

174
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: He could have handled that better. Nobody's gonna deny that.

175
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: But I think Jazz, as much as some people are

176
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: going to complain about maybe his immaturity, his flash, his

177
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: ups and downs, all that stuff, you also got to

178
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: look at how they've kind of used him this year. Hey, Jazz,

179
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: we traded for you last year. You know what we

180
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: need you to do play third. What did Jazz say?

181
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: Anything for the team? Hey, Jazz, we made it to

182
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: the playoffs again. I know you've been one of our

183
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: best bats. You're sitting today, Hey, anything's best for the

184
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: team even I mean, it's hard to tell what he said,

185
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: but it sounded like you said, hey, you know what,

186
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: it's whatever's best for the team doesn't mean he needs

187
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: to agree with it. And you asked, what do you

188
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: say if you're Aaron Boone before and after the game.

189
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 3: I don't need to say anything to after the game.

190
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: That's his time. All I talked to him about before

191
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: the game is the fact that you're sitting against Crochet.

192
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: I get it. You've played the last twenty seven to

193
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 3: twenty eight games. You're sitting against Crochet. Am ed Rosario.

194
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: Is this for this? I know this sucks. We need

195
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: you in game two. We're gonna need you late too,

196
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: so I need to make sure you're locked in. I'm

197
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: not saying you need to like it. I need to

198
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 3: know that you are here for the boys and give

199
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: us a good ad. Bat. That's all you got to say,

200
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: And you don't have to You don't have to handle

201
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: anything as a manager. If you've got to be like hey,

202
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 3: stand up straighter and look people in the eye when

203
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: you're they're interviewing you, you're cooked. You got way more

204
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: things to worry about, especially in New York. Yeah, listen,

205
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit here and plast jazz. It wasn't

206
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 3: a good look. That's all I'm gonna say. It wasn't

207
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: a good look. It was disrespectful to the guys that

208
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: were doing their job. They didn't make the lineup. If

209
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: you want to be mad at Aaron Boone, fine be married,

210
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: but don't be mad when.

211
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: The people just come up and say, hey, Erin Boo

212
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: told me I wasn't playing, Okay, then they got to

213
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: go ask Aaron Boone why justism didn't play?

214
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: That's it.

215
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: Turn around and turn around and say, hey, look, I

216
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: don't know, guys. I went in when they told me

217
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: to do. They asked me to do this. This is

218
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: what I did. I was happy when I came in.

219
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: I did the best I could in my bat didn't

220
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 2: work out right. I don't know why I didn't play.

221
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: If Aaron Boone told him why he didn't play, you

222
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: can say that reason or don't say that reason. That's

223
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: up to you. But as soon as you just turn

224
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: around and say, hey, I don't know, I did, I

225
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: was here sold, I'm not playing, and then they got

226
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: to go ask Aaron Boone the question.

227
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: I'd get you off the hook.

228
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: That's it. But by doing this it goes back and

229
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: then it makes people.

230
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not going to say, lose respect for you,

231
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: but fans are like, look at this guy, Look at

232
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: this guy. Why is he doing this?

233
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: Right?

234
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: Just answer the question, why didn't you play? I don't know,

235
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: he didn't tell me.

236
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: It goes viral if you handle it this way. And

237
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't blame the vile community on this one.

238
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: No you can't, because I've never seen boy do an

239
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: interview with their back turned.

240
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: It's a character judgment situation.

241
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 2: Which is not unfair all the time.

242
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Right, but it is what it is. If you're frustrated, though,

243
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds silly. I'd rather you

244
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: just be like, hey, guys, having some issues, I'll talk

245
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: to you tomorrow. Yeah, okay, anything, but back to human

246
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: It's it's just not it.

247
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 3: Hey, jan what about sitting down to give an interview?

248
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: Did that make you cringe or were you cool with that.

249
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: When everyone comes around and they're all standing and you

250
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: sit and you're just like like you're holding court. That

251
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: didn't bother me because I did it a lot. I mean,

252
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: I just played nine innings and I was tired, and

253
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 3: I was and if they caught me and I was

254
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: already sitting down.

255
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 2: I'd usually say all right, yeah, let's go. Yeah, I

256
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: don't care. Now. It didn't bother me when a reporter

257
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: came in and sat down. Yes, Oh.

258
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: It happens though, I know, But that times I tell

259
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: a reporter they're sitting in your seat, they're sitting in.

260
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 2: Chairs interviewing somebody, or they're they're they're reading the newspaper

261
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: that's there for the players. Yeah, I would say something

262
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: we can do an hour on that, or or my

263
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: favorite was we'd have TVs and they're I mean, I've

264
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: done it. As as when I go in there, they're

265
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: like this, though, I'm like, hey, ye, if you don't

266
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: have anybody, get out.

267
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say, wait, I'm gonna come out.

268
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes we're waiting. I would be in there and I'm

269
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: watching a playoff game because I'm waiting for so and so.

270
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: Who's calf?

271

Speaker 1: Yeah, and I try to allowed to look at the

272
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: team done it. Yeah, I know there's been times I'm

273
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: in there, I'm waiting and there we're waiting for a

274
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: particular player who's either just taking some time, maybe getting treatment, whatever,

275
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: and we'll ask pr that be like they'll come out

276
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: or maybe they won't, but you got twenty minutes left,

277
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: and then I'm just literally standing there and I'm I

278
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: need to keep up with the playoff game. I get

279
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: what you're saying. It's not it's not a lounge, it's

280
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: not a hangout spot. I don't want to be in there.

281
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, either it's still awkward.

Speaker 1: the dude, say what up? And then get out, Like.

284
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: I walk up to the people I know, and even

285
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: the ones I don't know how to introduce myself, and

286
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,880

00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: game this month. He's also been on fire the last

310
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: couple months. He missed the first ninety three games coming

311
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: back from his shoulder issue. Do you know who signed him,

312
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: and he was looked at as a disaster signing. Yeah,

313
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: that was like the stain on him, like how could you?

314
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: And it's just funny that Yoshidas one of the biggest thing,

315
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: I know, the whole deal. We get knocked for that, like, oh,

316
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: you guys are giving too much, Like I'm sorry, that's

317
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: how the team is built.

318
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he's supposed to do. Him Bloom was

319
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: supposed to build up a infrastructure. Oh and draft players

320
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: and have coaches that teach them like stop stop, he

321
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: built that team.

322
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's just funny. I mean, Yoshida as a

323
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: whole has not worked out for the team. But then

324
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: if you're a Red Sox fan and you see what

325
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: he did, I mean, the dude can hit. When he's healthy,

326
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: he can hit. That has not been a question. Have

327
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: not the power, terrible fielder or bad fielder at least right.

328
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: Well, that's why they tried to hie them and left. Yeah,

329
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: like Manny Ramira said yesterday, Oh, it's very small in leftfield.

330
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: I don't want to play right field.

331
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: I think they thought, no, it's right, but I think

332
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: they thought he would have been like Okay, I know

333
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: he was bad, bad, but he can hit one of

334
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: the biggest hits they've had in a long time.

335
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he's part of a team that's in

336
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs and they're up one on one the Yankees.

337
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: If they win this, everyone every If they go on

338
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: and make a deep run, everyone forgets everything else.

339
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: No, they're going to look at it and be like, oh,

340
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: who signed him?

341
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Nice Boston and New York Man all the matters is

342
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: the postseason? LA is getting to that point too.

343
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: No, let's say better than box scores, the Los Angeles

344
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers are still good at ball. Do the Cincinnati Reds

345
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: have a chance in this series?

346
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: No? Now.

347
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: Jim Bowden was so firm about it when Yeah, I

348
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: got that record's going to be good next year, it

349
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: was like, I'm good, they have no chance.

350
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: They did score a run. It's the first run they've

351
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: scored in the postseason since twenty thirteen.

352
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: Five runs.

353
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: They scored a run.

354
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

355
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Do the Dodgers have a bullpen problem?

356
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: We've been talking about this forever. Where was Roki.

357
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Saving him?

358
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: I guess for today? Yeah, for the Yamamoto Roki. This

359
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 2: was supposed to listen harmy matchup for Roki because Roki

360
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: can come in to strike all the dude job because

361
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: they swing and everything.

362
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: Right, but you need to throw strike scrats. And they

363
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: had an historically crazy inning, right, fifty nine pitches in

364
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: the eighth inning, most in a single playoff inning since

365
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: at least nineteen eighty eight.

366
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: It's a lot of pitches.

367
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: I was.

368
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: I was confused while they brought Vessia in, but as

369
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: the inning unfolded, maybe this is where he sees Vessia

370
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: Enriquez like guys that He's like, you know what, I'm

371
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: probably not going to go to you in big games.

372
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: Which I was confused by Vessia. I really was, because

373
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 3: I thought, I know, he had some blips at the

374
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: end of the season, but I thought he would be

375
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: a guy you'd go to in the normal one or

376
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: two run game in the seventh like, bang, that's our guy.

377
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 2: But hey, I was wrong.

378
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: And for Dodger fans, you watched the team that put

379
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: up ten runs in a game that included Hunter Green starting,

380
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: and I actually didn't think his stuff was bad. He

381
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: was a little over ampton at the beginning.

382
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: Listen, it was kind of like what happened to Dylan

383
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: Cees last year. Once so tany hit that home run.

384
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 2: It kind of was like, oh wow, what a wake

385
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: up call. Yeah, and then after that, I mean it

386
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 2: was he he didn't His stuff was good, but his

387
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: location wasn't very good. If you make mistakes of this

388
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: Dodger team man, especially in the postseason when they're awake

389
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: and they're like, we have to win and they've turned

390
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 2: it on, it's it's it's a tough lineup to navigate.

391
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

392
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: I mean, have Monsie back if the Oscar hits. I mean,

393
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: you can't throw Showy right there. I mean, that's just

394
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: that's a nothing ball down down, and in Ti Oscar

395
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: a little nothing ball. Every Tommy Edmunds playoff. Tommy edmund

396
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Snell pitched well, Snow pitched great. Yeah, seven innings, right,

397
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: you give up two.

398
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: But that's what you want.

399
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: It's perfect. You were up ten to two and Snow

400
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: came out handed off. You're like an eight run leagues close,

401
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: you know, and then all of a sudden it gets

402
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: a little bit dicey. Not really, but it got a

403
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: little dicey.

404
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: If you're playing from playoff team, that could get really dicey.

405
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: You're suddenly down five bases loaded, one out. I mean

406
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: the Tyler Stevenson at bat, for example, ended up costing

407
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: the Reds a lot in my mind, because he swung

408
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: at maybe three or four pitches that were outside of

409
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: the zone, including strike three. And I know it's easier

410
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: said than done. We're just talking here, but just given

411
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: what was going on in that inning, Crats, there were

412
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: some ball fours there that could have been walked in

413
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: another run and really made things interesting. They were not

414
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: throwing enough strikes to get guys out.

415
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: It's crazy to me. It was like, I forget who

416
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 3: said it on the broadcast. It was almost like it

417
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 3: was contagious. Came in and it was like, Okay, this

418
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: guy's consistently throwing strikes, ball two, ball three, and I thought,

419
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought it was close. When you're at

420
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 3: ten to five and the bases are loaded and they

421
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: and they're not throwing you strikes, that's the biggest thing.

422
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: Like watch the whole game, not just watch like, oh,

423
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: he struck out there. So it really wasn't that big

424
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: of a d like you're not. You have to you

425
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: have to pump the middle of the strike zone. When

426
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 3: you have a for six run lead, five run lead,

427
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: you gotta pump the middle of strike zone, because even

428
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 3: a home run doesn't tie the ballgame. But it'll be

429
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: interesting to see how it goes forward because Blake Snell

430
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 3: has already done what we said we thought we would

431
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: see from Doc Roberts, and it was a no brainer.

432
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: He was pitching well. But Blake Snell broke his own

433
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: personal record, which I've been crying for since he was

434
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: with the Rays. I don't think he's a guy you

435
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 3: take out third time through the order. He's consistently in

436
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: his career, especially the last three years, been better the

437
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: third time through the order. So good for Doc not

438
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 3: just pulling the hook and being like, hey, we'll save you.

439
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: We're going in the next round. We got to get

440
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: our bullpen some work. Stuck with them. Longest outing ever

441
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.

442
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: That's cool. He's got three great secondary pitches and as

443
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: long as he's throwing strikes.

444
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: About the mc McLain had a nice game, so good

445
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 2: for him after he's kind of been through a crappy season,

446
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: So good for him. A couple of hits and all that,

447
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Dodgers just didn't those strikes last night.

448
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: That was the biggest problem. They just weren't throwing strikes.

449
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean they were walking these guys in the red swing, right,

450
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: So listen, Stevenson, it happens. I've struck out of the

451
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: basis loaded. And then they asked me after the game

452
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, what happens. Have you ever hit

453
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: with the basil loaded? Yeah? Strike out? Sometimes everyone does,

454
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 2: even you know, Luisa Rise, I guarantee you struck out

455
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: of the basil loaded. So guy strikes out, he swings

456
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: at the bat. It's baseball's hard man especially, it gets

457
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 2: ramped up and everyone's like, oh, how do you not?

458
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: How do you swing at that? Because the guy's trying

459
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: to get you to swing at that. Yeah, he's not

460
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: just gonna throw it down the middle and say hit it.

461
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: He's tunneling and then trying to make you think that

462
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be in the zone.

463
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: And then it's hard. Let's always remember. I think that's

464
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: the biggest thing people don't understay. Baseball is really hard,

465
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: and you get into these hypened moments and it gets

466
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: even harder.

467
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, we've got Jack Harris back on foul Territory,

468
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: Dodgers beat writer for The l Times. Jack. Great to

469
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: have you on. We're gonna look a little bit at

470
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Game one and then spin it forward to Game two.

471
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: First off, I just want to start with show Hey

472
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: Otani and how much he set the tone for an

473
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: offense that has its ups and downs. From the twenty

474
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: twenty five season, they weren't perfect.

475
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean, you know, the up until the

476
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: last couple of weeks of the regular season here, the

477
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 5: offense was a real question for the Dodgers. They had

478
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 5: guys that were out injured, they weren't executing in situational spots,

479
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 5: and they weren't getting the kind of performances from some

480
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 5: of their stars. Show Hey and Otani included that they

481
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: needed to, and over the last couple of weeks, all

482
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 5: of those things got better. Otani specifically came into the

483
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 5: postseason in a really good spot, and there's just something

484
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 5: about when he has those kinds of moments, it's a

485
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 5: lift for the team. It puts a jolt in the stadium.

486
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 5: It was similar to Game one of the postseason last

487
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: year for the Dodgers when they were down three to

488
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 5: nothing early and he had a three run homer in

489
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 5: the second. And yeah, I mean for a lineup that

490
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 5: you know, in some ways, it was almost not happy

491
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 5: that they didn't have a buy this year, but was

492
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 5: happy to not have five days off after the way

493
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 5: they finished the year. To have him step in there

494
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 5: and start the game that way, I think yes kind

495
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 5: of set the tone for what you saw the rest

496
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 5: of the night Jack.

497
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: Was this just a matter of the Dodgers offense having

498
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: to flip a switch because they were on cruise control

499
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: the whole year. I know we're going to make the playoffs,

500
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: we're going to win the division where oh we got

501
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: to play now, and all of a sudden booth ten

502
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: spot against Hunter Green. I mean, had good stuff, missed

503
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: some location, but still this looked like the Dodgers' offense

504
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: just flipped the switch into full we're going to be

505
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: the Dodgers mode.

506
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this flip the switch question has been one that's

507
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 5: kind of been hovering around the team for the last

508
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 5: couple months. I think, you know, Frankly and guys have

509
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 5: said it, it's tough to bring, especially when you're coming

510
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 5: off a World Series and you start the year in

511
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 5: Japan early like they did, and you have all these

512
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: expectations and you know that you're a really good team.

513
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 5: It's tough to bring that highest level of intensity on

514
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 5: a daily basis over the course of the year. And

515
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 5: I think something that happened as the team was struggling

516
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 5: during the second half, as their division lead was getting

517
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 5: a lot tighter, was that they got a little bit

518
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 5: more intentional about talking to each other, having the hitting

519
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 5: coaches tell them, hey, you know, when we get guys

520
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 5: in scoring position, we got to take advantage. When we're

521
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 5: facing good starters, we have to stick to our game plan,

522
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 5: and we have to be disciplined. You know, a lot

523
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 5: of guys were working through swing problems this year, and

524
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 5: there are times where, you know, it almost looked like

525
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 5: swing camp, as one of their hitting coaches put it,

526
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 5: where guys were more focused on their mechanics than just competing.

527
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: And I think over the last couple of weeks of

528
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 5: the season, they've done a much better job of getting

529
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: back to the identity of offense that has really defined

530
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 5: this team for so long, which is stressing opposing pitchers.

531
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 5: You know, you look at the Taoscar Hernandez home run

532
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 5: that's set up by a couple really good at bats

533
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 5: from Freddie Freeman and Max Months the leading up to

534
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 5: it to be able to draw some Walks put him

535
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 5: under pressure and then ta Oscar Hernandez gets the chance

536
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 5: to do damage. So I think, yes, a flip has

537
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 5: been switched. I think it's something they were able to

538
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 5: do late in the regular season. They were hoped he

539
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 5: wouldrry into the playoffs and last night was a pretty

540
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: good first sign.

541
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 3: You can just say all their offenses based around Max Muntcy,

542
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 3: and nobody gives him enough credit because his numbers and

543
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: his trophy case aren't as big. But if this team

544
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 3: is going to continue this offensive run, where are the

545
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: areas that teams are going to attack? Because to me,

546
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: all the way up through tay Oskar and obviously Tommy

547
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 3: Edmond just does what he does in the playoffs, you

548
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 3: just have a relentless lineup that is going to wear

549
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: pitching down. Where is the area that a team can

550
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 3: attack say, okay, we can do this if I do

551
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 3: this to the Dodgers.

552
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: Lineup, Yeah, this is still a lineup that can sometimes

553
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 5: be prone to getting over aggressive, swinging out of the zone.

554
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 5: I think you know, when you look at Shoheo Tani

555
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 5: last October that was kind of the story of it

556
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 5: for him is for all the big moments he did have.

557
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 5: He also got a little swing happy at times and

558
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 5: started chasing pitches should and starting to feel like he

559
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: needed to do too much. That it's something where you

560
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 5: have to you have to make like every guy kind

561
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 5: of feel like they need to pick up more of

562
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 5: the slack right than they probably need to. But that's

563
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 5: difficult to do when you have so many guys in

564
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 5: the lineup clicking like you've seen lately. You know, if

565
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 5: Max Munsey is being productive and getting on base, and

566
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 5: Tommy Edmonds being productive and having big hits, and they

567
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: Oscar Hernandez is looking like the guy who helped carry

568
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 5: this team to a World Series last October, it allows

569
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 5: everybody else to be a lot more disciplined in their

570
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 5: individual approaches, and something these guys have talked about, you know,

571
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: at the end of the season. So that's the challenge

572
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 5: because they are so talented. I mean, this was the

573
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 5: really confounding part of when they struggled and were like

574
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 5: the fourth lowest scoring offense from from July to the

575
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 5: end of August, which is there was so much talent

576
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 5: in the room, but guys just were not sticking to

577
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 5: their approach. So the way they've looked at it. It's

578
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 5: always an eternal thing. Like Max Mounsey always says, we're

579
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 5: playing against our self first and foremost, and if we

580
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 5: can go out there and execute we need to do,

581
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 5: stick to our plan, have good at bats, and they

582
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 5: take advantage of the mistakes that we do generate from

583
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 5: opposing pitchers. We feel like, you know, we we can

584
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: score as much as we need to, and that's gonna

585
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 5: make it an interesting test, you know, for opposing pitching

586
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 5: staff to try to figure out how to put them

587
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 5: under a little bit more stress as the playoffs go on.

588
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 2: Okay, enough about the offense. We know the Dodgers can hit.

589
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: Let's let's get to the real Let's get to the

590
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 2: real meat of this Dodgers problem. What the heck are

591
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: they going to do in the bullpen? It was a

592
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: better problem down the stretch. It was a problem last night.

593
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: And I know they still won ten to five, but

594
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: they were on cruise control and then all of a sudden,

595
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we it's all hands on deck. Is

596
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott gonna close? Is Rokie gonna close? Where do

597
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 2: they you know they use VESI in an eight run game?

598
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: It works, Emma san What are they gonna do here

599
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. If you're Dave Roberts, are you like, man,

600
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: we got this great team, but there's all these problems

601
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: at the back end. Yeah.

602
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 5: The butt in that sentence kind of became the story

603
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 5: last night, which is they have all the pieces, but

604
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 5: how do you make sure the bullpen and doesn't blow it.

605
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 5: What was really discourting or disconcerting about last night is

606
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 5: Alex Vesia is one of their highest trusted relievers, especially

607
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 5: of like the traditional relief group. He's been the one

608
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 5: guy who was mostly healthy all year, who is mostly

609
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: good all year, and who was more than anybody else,

610
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 5: probably like the fireman guy that they wanted to be

611
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 5: able to turn to when situations got hot and there

612
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 5: was traffic on base. And to see him come in

613
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 5: in an eight run game, I mean when he came in.

614
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 5: The joke in the press box last night is man,

615
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 5: even with an eight run lead, Dave Roberts isn't taking

616
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 5: chances by putting in one of his most trusted guys.

617
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: And to see him come in, give up a hit

618
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 5: and then walk a batter like the walk and a

619
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 5: batter with that big of a lead, it hits on

620
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 5: this problem the Dodgers have had that Dave Roberts has

621
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 5: talked about, which is sometimes it just looks like guys

622
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 5: are not being aggressive enough, are almost pitching scared, are

623
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 5: letting the mental toll and the frustrations and the lack

624
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 5: of confidence from the whole season kind of way on them,

625
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 5: pitch by pitch by pitch, And that's at the tone

626
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 5: for the rest of the inning. You know, seeing Edgardo

627
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 5: Nriquez come in and struggle with his command, that that's

628
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: something he's prone to. Jack Dryer, like I heard you

629
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 5: guys mentioned it earlier, Tyler Stevenson helped him out by

630
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: swinging it a couple pitches outside of the strike zone.

631
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 5: That one more walk I think could have really made

632
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 5: that situation uncomfortable for the Dodgers. So look moving forward

633
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 5: that they're going to have to start doing different things.

634
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 5: And I think you would have seen a different game

635
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 5: plan last night if it was less than an eight

636
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 5: run lead. But Roki Sasaki is going to pitch beginnings.

637
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 5: Emmit Shean, who was warming at the end of that

638
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 5: eighth inning, is somebody that they're kind of hoping can

639
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 5: be one of their best relievers now that he's been

640
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 5: moved to the bullpen for this series. Tyler Glass now

641
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 5: is going to be available down there. Blake trying intos

642
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 5: someone they're hoping can figure it out a little bit.

643
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 5: They're going to probably keep him in some softer landing

644
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 5: spots like you saw last night with a five run lead,

645
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 5: to try to let him build some confidence. Tanner Scott

646
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: is in the same boat. But if those kinds of

647
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 5: performances continue, I think then you have to start thinking

648
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 5: about getting really outside the box, using your starters on

649
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 5: their bullpen days in relief, you know, a lot more aggressively.

650
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 5: You know, Clayton Kershaw is kind of being saved right

651
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 5: now to see if he needs to start a division

652
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 5: series game or early, depending on how this series goes.

653
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 5: But that's at least somebody that if you put out

654
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 5: there in relief, you know he's going to be not

655
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 5: rattled by the moment and get the ball over the plate.

656
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 5: So this is this was the big question coming into

657
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Could they trust the traditional relievers. There were

658
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 5: some encouraging signs at the end of the season, but

659
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 5: last night was a real warning sign that they're going

660
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 5: to have to get creative with that unit because the

661
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 5: guys that make up the traditional pen are just not

662
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: in a good place right now.

663
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so then tonight, let's use we'll go right to tonight.

664
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: Then let's say, you know, Yalamoto has a nice start,

665
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: right he goes, he gives them six innings and the

666
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: scores two to two. Does he go right to san

667
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: right to Roki and leave Tanner Scott and trying to

668
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 2: these other guys out of it and go with these

669
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: new toys basically that he has in the bullpen, Dave

670
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 2: Roberts or does he still try to go trying in

671
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: and close it with Scott if they take lead late

672
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: on a Red's bullpen that's been really good.

673
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 5: I think Roki and Shean right now are going to

674
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 5: be the guys that he would turn to, especially in

675
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 5: a closer game.

676
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: You know.

677
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 5: To me, an interesting question is if there's a situation

678
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 5: where there's around of lefties coming up, who do you

679
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: trust in that spot? The Dodgers kind of look at

680
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: em at Chians as a neutral guy that I think

681
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 5: they would trusted to face some left handed hitters. Obviously,

682
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 5: you know, you brought Tanner Scott here for a reason.

683
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 5: He's going to have to contribute at some point alex Vezia.

684
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 5: You know, I think it'll be interesting to see how

685
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 5: last night how much that changed their trust level in him,

686
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: at least in the short term. But yeah, I think

687
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 5: right now you're going to see Shean Roki and then

688
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 5: maybe Tyler Glass now, though with them being up in

689
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 5: the series, I'd imagine they probably try to stay away

690
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: from him just in case things go to tomorrow. But

691
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 5: that's the place that they're at. And the blessing for

692
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 5: this team is that they have so much starting pitching

693
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 5: depth that they can put three or four starters in

694
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 5: the bullpen and have them step into big roles and

695
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 5: trust that they're going to pitch well. But it's still

696
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 5: putting them in situations that we haven't seen very much.

697
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: You know.

698
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 5: Immachian has a couple of relief appearances this year in

699
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 5: bulk innings. Rookie Sasaki, for as good as those two

700
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 5: outings at the end of the regular season looked, still

701
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 5: had never pitched in relief in his life up until

702
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 5: the last month. So it is an uncomfortable place. The

703
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 5: Dodgers are hoping that they still have like just the

704
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 5: overall talent, but it's trying to figure out who can

705
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: you trust them with spots, who's going to go out

706
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: there and throw competitive pitches? And when you don't know

707
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 5: those answers, it makes planning out how the end of

708
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: a game looks, or figuring out who to turn to

709
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 5: in a certain situation if you're Dave Roberts, just not

710
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: a very fun task.

711
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: Yes, you know about Yamamoto is starting his thirty first game.

712
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 3: That is five more starts and he's ever had in

713
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 3: his entire life in one season. Is there a fear

714
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: they never got some days off? I know he threw

715
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 3: in six days rotation, but is there a fear that

716
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: he's going to tire down the end here? I get it,

717
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 3: he hasn't in his last starts, but this is uncharted

718
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: territory by a lot of starts.

719
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 5: There's not a fear. The Dodgers answer to this question

720
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 5: has been yes, it's more starts, but it's not a

721
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,479
Speaker 5: huge difference in the overall innings. When he was in Japan,

722
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: he would throw a lot more pitches in each of

723
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 5: his outings than he does over here. And they've also

724
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 5: just seen him week after week go through his training

725
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 5: program every week, throw his javelins in the outfield and

726
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 5: continue to look like he's in a good spot physically

727
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 5: every time he takes the mound. Yeah, tonight, this is

728
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 5: the kind of game I'd expect that you see some

729
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 5: ninety sevens, ninety eights on the board with him with

730
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 5: his fastball, which is something he does typically in bigger

731
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 5: moments that he wants to try to rise up to.

732
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 5: So it's been a really impressive year from him because, yeah,

733
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 5: the durability, the injuries, the question of could he handle,

734
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 5: you know, pitching on a regular schedule or semi regular

735
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: schedule coming from Japan over to the big leagues like

736
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 5: that was the whole question about him last season, and

737
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: for him to embrace that get better as the season's

738
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 5: gone on, look really comfortable and confident in a way

739
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 5: that we didn't really see last year, really like right

740
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 5: up until the end of the postseason, when he seemed

741
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: to finally kind of trust himself in that kind of

742
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 5: environment to go and attack big league hitters and get

743
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 5: get outs, and the way that we've seen this year.

744
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 5: So it's been a really impressive overall year, and the

745
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 5: fact that he's been as durable as he has been

746
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 5: speaks to just the way that he takes care of

747
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: his body, that he goes about his preparation between starts,

748
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 5: and yeah, has allowed him to take on a career

749
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: high workload this year without many concerns about you know, oh,

750
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 5: is he running out of gas or anything like that.

751
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: Jack you mentioned earlier, they might be glad they're playing

752
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: in the Wildcard Series. Can I add to that and

753
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: ask you their feelings on this. I mean, not only

754
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: do they get to play the Wildcard Series. I know

755
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 2: their pitching won't be perfectly lined up for when they

756
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: get to if they win and get to play Philly,

757
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 2: But not only do they get these extra games to

758
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: try to figure something out. But and I mean this

759
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: is with all due respect, but they got to play

760
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 2: the Reds, a team that most people think on paper

761
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 2: is overmatched by them. So is that also a blessing

762
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: for them? Yes, they have to play two more or

763
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: possibly three more games, and yes the Reds could still

764
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 2: win this series. But if you're the outsider and you're

765
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,479
Speaker 2: a Dodger fan, you're like, Okay, we get extra bats

766
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: for show. We don't get the time off. We get

767
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: to look at guys from our bullpen, whether it's Rokie

768
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: she and Glass now whoever, we need to put in

769
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: places and we're playing a team that quite honestly, we

770
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: should beat in two games. Yeah.

771
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 5: I think the latter part about the pitching and the

772
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 5: bullpen specifically is the thing I was thinking about coming

773
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 5: into this series. You know, the lineup did not having

774
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 5: to take five days off. You know, again, I think

775
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 5: that's a net plus, but it's not something that you know,

776
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 5: you saw the Dodgers last year. They were able to

777
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 5: kind of overcome that pretty quickly. To me, the benefit

778
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 5: of having things work out this way is that you

779
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 5: potentially gave yourself an opportunity exactly like last night, where

780
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: you could build a big lead where you could throw

781
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 5: your relievers and what should have been lower leverage spots

782
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 5: and see if they can build some momentum so that

783
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 5: by the time you do get to the DS, if

784
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 5: you advance and you're facing a much better Phillies lineup,

785
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 5: at least you've had a couple games where the bullpen

786
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 5: had success. And that's what made last night really frustrating.

787
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 5: I think now at least as the eighth inning, as

788
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 5: it pertains to the eighth inning. You know, you look

789
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 5: at the night trying came out and looked, Okay, yeah,

790
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 5: he gave up the one hit on the ball that

791
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 5: Justin Dean couldn't catch in center. But you know, that's

792
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 5: a confidence building moment. And if you go into tonight's

793
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 5: game and Rokie Sasaki can have a good outing if

794
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: he's called upon, and Immachian can be good if he's

795
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 5: called upon, then that's going to give those guys confidence

796
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 5: as you move forward. So that is where I think,

797
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 5: in this specific circumstance and playing a team like the

798
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 5: Reds as opposed to the Mets, who would have obviously

799
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 5: provided a much bigger challenge with what they bring offensively,

800
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 5: this should be an opportunity for the Dodgers to, especially

801
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 5: with the one area of their team that needs some

802
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 5: confidence build it. But you still have to execute. And

803
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 5: as you saw in the eighth inning last night, if

804
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 5: you're not throwing strikes, if you're not being aggressive, if

805
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 5: you're not even giving yourself a chance to get outs

806
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 5: as efficiently as you need to, then you know, this

807
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 5: Red line up still pretty good enough to make things

808
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 5: interesting and string a rally together. So that's what's going

809
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 5: to be key to me the next couple nights. Can

810
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 5: the Dodgers not only win this series, but build some

811
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 5: momentum in the bullpen along the way and learn a

812
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 5: little bit about who they trust the most in leverage

813
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 5: spots as they move forward in October.

814
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: Very few people are one hundred percent healthy going into

815
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: the playoffs, but the Dodgers have two kind of limited

816
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 3: players on their bench, Will Smith and Tommy Edmond. Tommy Edmund,

817
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 3: will he get back to center field or is the

818
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 3: ankle not going to allow him to do that in

819
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 3: this entire in this entire postseason, and Will Smith being

820
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 3: the third catcher pinch hitter off the bench, is that

821
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 3: hand on the path to healing to be able to

822
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 3: get behind the dish as early as the NLDS against

823
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: the Phillies.

824
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

825
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 5: With Tommy Edmund, I think in the short term they're

826
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 5: going to probably try to keep him on the infield.

827
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 5: We saw this earlier this season with this ankle injury,

828
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 5: where when he's in the outfield and he's having to

829
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 5: make these kind of bigger turns and then go into

830
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 5: a sprint like those are the things that bottle the

831
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 5: ankle a little bit more than when he just has

832
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 5: to shuffle laterally at second base. So that could change

833
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 5: you know, depending on how the ankle feels moving forward,

834
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 5: but I think for right now they would prefer to

835
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 5: just keep him at second base. Will Smith, Andrew Frieman

836
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,479
Speaker 5: said yesterday the fracture in his hand is healed, which

837
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 5: is a really big development because that means that's what's

838
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 5: kind of allowed him to start ramping up his activity

839
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 5: and intensity and taking swings in live at bats on

840
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 5: the workout and throwing the ball again and things like that.

841
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 5: So Dave Roberts has left the door open for him

842
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 5: potentially starting this week. I think that would probably only happen,

843
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 5: especially now if they lose tonight and are facing elimination tomorrow.

844
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 5: But the hope is that, yes, maybe as soon as

845
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 5: the DS the throwing strength will be back to where

846
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 5: he needs it to be. The swings, he'll have taken

847
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 5: enough of them to feel confident that, Okay, if I

848
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 5: go and take five at bats one night, I'm not

849
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 5: going to wake up with my hands swollen and in

850
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 5: pain and unable to play the next Those are kind

851
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 5: of the last boxes that he needs to check. But yeah,

852
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 5: for where this situation was a week ago, I think

853
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 5: that the fact that Will Smith is on the roster

854
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 5: available to pinch it now and could potentially be back

855
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 5: to starting games in the next week or so. Is

856
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 5: a really positive development.

857
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: Jack, great insight. We always love having you on, so

858
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: we appreciate the ten twelve minutes here with us. I

859
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 1: enjoy the game tonight and thanks for joining us. All right,

860
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. That's Jack Harris. Make sure you check out

861
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: his work in the LA Times and you can follow

862
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: him at b y Jack Harris on Twitter. Also, Dodgers

863
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: postgame show is lit. Last night about a thousand people

864
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: live watching Alana and Clint talk about the Dodgers good

865
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: and bad, and they'll do it again this evening, so

866
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: check it out live on YouTube or wherever you get

867
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: your podcasts. They'll post it afterward. Oh Kratz, we've got

868
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: a battle here. One of their Friar Territory hosts, Mike Cameron,

869
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: disagrees with you. You got to go with your everyday guys,

870
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: if you're the Yankees, especially a guy who faced the

871
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: lead pitching all year, so he's primed. If anything, he said,

872
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: he's putting Bellinger and center in Rosario in left field.

873
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: Your thoughts.

874
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm still reading this, I'm not defends the Yankees decisions

875
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: a start on my Rosario last night. I mean, I'm

876
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 3: not saying you gotta I'm not saying you gotta play

877
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 3: him for Jazz. I'm saying, I'm in Rosario has to

878
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: be in there. So you're saying so he was saying

879
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: you have to play your elite hitters. So who is

880
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: Who's Cameron saying shouldn't be in there?

881
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: He's saying, if anything, you reconfigure the outfield. Yes, and

882
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: you take Grisham out, you put Belly in center, Rosario

883
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: and left, and you put obviously Judges and right.

884
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: But then the argument is, then why is Grisham not

885
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: in there? Grisham had thirty what home runs? So did

886
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 3: Jess right? So so the argument, the argument is both ways.

887
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 3: To me, if you have six Rice, why had Ben

888
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 3: Rice not play over Austin Wells. I think catching positions

889
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 3: a little different. You know that Aja, maybe Max Freed

890
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 3: and Austin Wells, you know, worked well together. I'm not

891
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: sure you know if there's a framing metric in there,

892
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 3: because you know, I don't know about that part of it.

893
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: But either way, you're kind of damned if you do,

894
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 3: damned if you don't. You have to get on ad

895
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 3: Rosario in there. I think. I don't think Mikey Cameron's

896
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: disagreeing with me on that. The guy was six for nine,

897
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: not six for eight, six for nine, and you got

898
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: to get him in the lineup somewhere. So one of

899
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 3: the two thirty home run guys, I guess has to sit.

900
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's saying Freedom right should have been

901
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 2: in there.

902
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: Had two hits yesterday, Goldie had two hits, And I

903
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: agree on the.

904
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 2: Well goldies Rake LIFTI that's.

905
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: His thing, only playing against left well as a catcher,

906
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm okay with Yeah, I'm.

907
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: Okay with that. But Jazz I think should have been

908
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: in there.

909
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: Somehow somewhat okay, didn't happen.

910
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: It didn't happen, and we got to Now we can

911
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: talk about it, and.

912
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: It's a good problem for them. They have options, but

913
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: that leaves you to field more scrutiny because you have

914
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: good options to choose from. That's what happens, and if

915
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: you don't win a game, those options get scrutinized. That's

916
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: how sports works. We get to sit here and talk

917
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: and not have the pressure of the job. That's how

918
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: it works. But good answer there from Camp he's back

919
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: on the show with us. You can listen to him

920
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: every night on wf A N. But because of the Yanks.

921
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 4: Well, I get paid to talk.

922
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you'd be. I thought you'd be all

923
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: clogged up from all the tears you were crying last

924
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: night with Jazz didn't play.

925
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,839
Speaker 4: No, I'm not crying any tears. That wasn't a one

926
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: game elimination. I was on the radio for four hours

927
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 4: last night after the game. I've said everything, I've gone

928
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 4: over everything. I'm ready to drive right back to the

929
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 4: Bronx today. What's up, guys, What's up?

930
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: So summarize it for me? What was the biggest talking

931
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: point last night for you and how you were fielding

932
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: calls and how you were answering them and mixing in

933
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 1: what you would do if you were the Yankees.

934
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 4: The turning point of the game, The topic that was

935
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 4: coming up on the call screen was taking out Max

936
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 4: Free to go to Luke Weaver. And honestly, you can

937
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: talk a bunch of ways around it. It's compounded because

938
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 4: you see Garret Crochet standing there and throw one hundred

939
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 4: and seventeen pitches, retire seventeen batters in a row, and

940
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 4: then afterwards, Alex Corus says, yeah, you know, we build

941
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 4: up our starter in the regular season to get to

942
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 4: this postseason where we push him. You know, like Max

943
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 4: Freed at one hundred and two pitches was pitching a

944
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 4: way different game than Garrett Crochet was. He had runners on.

945
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 4: I won't say he was laboring, but he did have

946
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 4: a twenty four pitch inning, a twenty pitch inning, and

947
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 4: on that last play that he fielded his position and

948
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 4: he raced Duran to first base. When I'm in the

949
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 4: stadium and not watching on TV, I'm asking the guys

950
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 4: around me, did he look tired, Does he look exhausted,

951
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 4: Does he look like he's done, and maybe, you know,

952
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 4: exerting extra energy to get that play right there. That's

953
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 4: where it was like, Okay, you're over the magic number,

954
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 4: which I don't know for some reason, if you hit

955
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 4: triple digits, now it's the witching hour where everybody's like,

956
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 4: this guy's gonna turn into a pumpkin. Boone went and

957
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 4: took the ball out of his hands to go to

958
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 4: Luke Weaver. And I've been saying, hindsight is twenty twenty.

959
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 4: Luke Weaver is fifty to fifty Luke Weaver has not

960
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 4: been the same Luke Weaver this year. He faces the

961
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 4: eight to nine hitter. He already has it out in

962
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 4: the game. He should be able to get that done.

963
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 4: He goes up two on Saddan Rafaela and it's like

964
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 4: bro An eleven pitch at bat. He wins it, so

965
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 4: Guard doubles. It's like all the little things start to

966
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 4: come out. Judge's arm is exposed. And then Alex Korra

967
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 4: is playing chess while Boone is playing checkers. He puts

968
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 4: in Masataka Yoshida. First pitch, Boom, the lead is gone.

969
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 4: And just that little sequence right there is what everybody

970
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 4: wanted to talk about. There were some other things, obviously

971
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 4: with the lineup, definitely with Jazz getting into the game

972
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,919
Speaker 4: late as a defensive replacement, and then Jazz going through

973
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 4: his wardrobe, going through his clothes and not you know,

974
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 4: facing the media, and you know, I just think Yankee

975
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 4: fans were down because no one was surprised. They struck

976
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 4: out thirteen times, they didn't work one walk, They scored

977
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 4: one run on a home run. Remember Buck Martinez saying

978
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 4: they're not a good team if they don't hit home runs,

979
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,879
Speaker 4: they can't score, like so many of these little things

980
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 4: that we've seen all year, so many these little things

981
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 4: that we've seen in the Aaron Boone era. They happened

982
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,760
Speaker 4: last night and people are sick of it, but they're

983
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 4: not out of it. They got to come back tonight

984
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 4: with Carlos Rodin and force the game three, and I

985
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 4: think the advantage can shift into the Yankees favor.

986
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 2: Agreed. Here's my thing about Max Reid. They even said

987
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: it on the broadcast. You know, I'm sure you watched

988
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: the broadcast last night where they said after he came

989
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 2: in and got the first out, it was the lefty,

990
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,760
Speaker 2: it was Duran. He got Duran out in the seventh.

991
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: They even said before that this is his last hitter.

992
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: Boone is keeping him out there. They have Weaver ready

993
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: to go, right, which makes total sense because I guarantee

994
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: you that's the way they've done it all year. Right, Yep.

995
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: The biggest key to that whole inning was you watched

996
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 2: to Don Rafaela, who swings at everything. Okay, he's really

997
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: arguab walk and in this situation was a great at bat.

998
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 2: I give him a ton of credit. But then it

999
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: just it was like things come. It was one of

1000
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 2: those innings. But they only gave up two Let's not

1001
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 2: forget they only gave up two runs. It onen't like

1002
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: they gave up ten runs. They gave up two runs. Okay,

1003
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: but so guard getting a hit, taking advantage of Judge's arm,

1004
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: your set of getting the hit, and then they shut

1005
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: it down. So I really don't have a problem as

1006
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: big of a problem as all the other people do

1007
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 2: with him taking Freed out, because I guarantee you that's

1008
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: what they had done all year. And listen, Max Freed

1009
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: six and a third, no runs. That's a hell of

1010
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: an outing in the postseason, like he's beginner, Like, great job,

1011
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 2: it's not his he did and I guarantee right, So anyways,

1012
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I look at it differently.

1013
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 4: No, but don't you think Max Reed could have got

1014
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 4: those last two outs the eight to nine hitter.

1015
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: Don't you think.

1016
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: They're both writings? And what if he doesn't And then

1017
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: you're like, God, you should have you should have taken

1018
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 2: him out.

1019
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 4: It's a plan, it's a script. It's predetermined. They talk

1020
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 4: about this stuff during the games, that that was a

1021
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 4: clean inning for Luke Weaver to come in with one out.

1022
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 4: You can't get us two outs. Luke Weaver has not

1023
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 4: been great, he won't be back next year. It's it's

1024
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 4: a tough spot. I feel like a lot of people

1025
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 4: were saying too, and I agree. They manage this game

1026
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 4: like it was a regular season game. There is no tomorrow.

1027
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 4: Max Reed might not get another start. Push him, there

1028
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 4: is no tomorrow. You don't go to one of your

1029
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 4: average relievers who you know it's not twenty twenty four anymore.

1030
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 4: When he turned into your closer after the guy that

1031
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 4: you told us was your closer, Klay Holmes couldn't get

1032
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 4: it done and you had to break glass in case

1033
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 4: of an emergency and go to Louke Weaver as the closer.

1034
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 4: We haven't seen the ferocious jungle cat that we saw

1035
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 4: last year, so I don't know. Those things get compounded,

1036
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 4: but I think you stop right here. They did not

1037
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 4: hit with that lineup they put out. They took out

1038
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 4: Ben Rice, they took out Jazz Chisholm. Those are two

1039
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 4: guys that had great years, twenty six home runs, thirty

1040
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: one home runs. You left a bunch of RBI on

1041
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,719
Speaker 4: the bench. That lineup did not work, and then later

1042
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 4: in the game you can't get Ben Rice in a

1043
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 4: bat and you put Jazz Chishlm in the game as

1044
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 4: a defensive replacement, And Alex Coor is over there grinning

1045
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 4: because he's like, Okay, you get a med Rosario three

1046
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 4: abs and you put Jazz in as a defensive replacement.

1047
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 4: I'm going from Crochet to Chapman. You're still facing two

1048
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 4: dominant lets, and when Jazz comes up and flies out

1049
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 4: weekly to right field, It's like, what are we doing here?

1050
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 4: You should have the righty to come off the bench.

1051
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 4: You know you could have configured that differently. What I'll

1052
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 4: say before I pass it back to you is I

1053
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 4: feel like Jazz should have been in at second base.

1054
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 4: If you wanted to play a med Rosario, who you

1055
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 4: barely played since you got him at the trade deadline,

1056
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 4: play him at third Ryan McMahon. We would have made

1057
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 4: no issues, no qualms about Ryan McMahon. We understand what

1058
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: his bat is and isn't put him there. And then

1059
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 4: also you have Kybyiro to be a pinch runner at

1060
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 4: any point late in the game. Kybyiro is the guy

1061
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 4: that can play six different positions.

1062
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's tough.

1063
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 4: I just want to flush this game and get the

1064
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 4: game too as quick as possible.

1065
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 3: Okay, well, let's look at game two. Is there a

1066
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 3: chance that the Yankees, if things go off the rails

1067
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: early to nothing lead by the Red Sox, they panic

1068
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 3: by day? I mean Boone panics and takes Rodon out

1069
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 3: because in a playoff game, when it's back against the wall,

1070
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: life on the line, you go right to the bullpen.

1071
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 3: The bullpen hasn't shown they can get you nine outs,

1072
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 3: let alone fifteen outs.

1073
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 4: No, you're riding with Carlos Rodin tonight. There is no panic.

1074
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 4: Even if he does give up a long ball, which

1075
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 4: we've seen him do. It's his game tonight, and he's

1076
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 4: got that bulldog in him a little more so than

1077
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,399
Speaker 4: Max Freed. Max Freed is, you know, soft spoken. It's

1078
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 4: his first year in New York. He's been great, but

1079
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 4: like he should have pushed back a little bit against Boom.

1080
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 4: But I guess they had already agreed in the dugout

1081
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 4: go get me one more batter. Rodin tonight is not

1082
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 4: gonna come off that mound if it's to nothing. He's

1083
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 4: gonna say, let me fight, let me continue. And they

1084
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 4: use the bullpen last night. I think the only guy

1085
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 4: they'll stay away from tonight is Luke Weaver. I don't

1086
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 4: think you're in a rush to get to Fernando Cruz.

1087
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 4: I don't think you're in a rush to get to

1088
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 4: any of these guys. Tonight it's Carlos Rodan for six

1089
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 4: seven innings, six to seven.

1090
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 2: Okay, we can debate pitching all we want. The Yankees

1091
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 2: score how many runs last night?

1092
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 4: One? That's what I'm saying. Take all of this out,

1093
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 4: that lineup that you put together with your analytics, and

1094
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 4: you thought you were gonna throw at Alex Corr and

1095
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 4: Garrett Crochet, the least likely of candidates, the guy that

1096
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 4: was the whipping boy all year. Fans didn't want him

1097
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 4: to start. They wanted Caybalierro to start at shortstop. Anthony Volpi, Right,

1098
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 4: Anthony Volpi's the one that gets two hits off Crochet,

1099
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 4: that hits the solo shot to wake the stadium up

1100
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 4: and really get it going. The rest of those guys, Stanton,

1101
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 4: we expect Stanton to be a postseason performer. I expect

1102
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 4: him to show up tonight. Grisham, as we're talking about

1103
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: how many home runs they left off the field with

1104
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 4: Jazz and ben Rice, Grisham hit thirty four homers this year,

1105
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: he went zero for four with four strikeouts. Tonight they

1106
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 4: have to mash. Can they score four runs, five runs

1107
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 4: and hold the Red Sox to another three? I think

1108
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 4: they can.

1109
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: Okay, that's all I want to know. What was the

1110
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 2: feeling like when Ed bases loaded, no outs and here

1111
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 2: comes John Carlow against Chapman and all of a sudden

1112
00:50:58,239 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 2: it goes from ninety five to one hundred and one.

1113
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: What was the feeling like? Were you thinking, this is

1114
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: our chance, We're gonna turn it around right here and

1115
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: then strikeout week pop up punchy.

1116
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 4: I thought we had a better chance when we had

1117
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 4: Goldie on Judge on in the first inning against Crochet

1118
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 4: and Stanton didn't ground it into a double play late

1119
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 4: in that game with Chapman former teammates, he's faced them before.

1120
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,439
Speaker 4: I'm like, Chapman knows what to throw? Was a four

1121
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 4: pitch at bat. I knew that Chapman had Stanton, and

1122
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 4: so did Cora. Corus said, you know, he had no

1123
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 4: doubts that Chapman would win that matchup against John Carlos Stanton,

1124
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 4: So yeah, I was. I knew they were setting us

1125
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 4: up for failure. I knew that we were getting excited there,

1126
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 4: and yeah, it's a different game if David Bednar doesn't

1127
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 4: give up that one run. It's a different game if

1128
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 4: you're just trying to tie a two to one game

1129
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 4: down one. But you know ultimately that they got got

1130
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 4: they got caught, like Jazz shouldn't have been in that position.

1131
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 4: And Stanton didn't have his best night and he's facing

1132
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 4: a guy that knew what to throw at him to

1133
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 4: put him way.

1134
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: This you have to you have to give us the

1135
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 3: pulse of Yankees fans on this one. Aaron Judge two

1136
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 3: hits last night. Is he back? Is he postseason Aaron

1137
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 3: Judge now? Or is this not good? Because he's the MVP.

1138
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 4: And you know, I was laughing because I was getting

1139
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 4: some some tweets about Judge should have hit the ball

1140
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 4: out of the park in the ninth inning instead of

1141
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 4: driving a single, And I'm like, this is the batting champion.

1142
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 4: This is a guy that hit three p thirty one.

1143
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 4: He did his job, Like if he struck out all night,

1144
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 4: it'd be different. He did get a hit like Crochet

1145
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 4: is a monster, and Judge gave him that cauc He

1146
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 4: said he's the best pitcher in the game. He has

1147
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 4: struck Judge out I don't know, eleven twelve times this year.

1148
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 4: I will say this about Judge. Judge did have a

1149
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 4: look and he was on some of Crochet's pitches that

1150
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 4: that last inning where I think, you know, Cabby got

1151
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,800
Speaker 4: a hold of one, it got caught in the outfield,

1152
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 4: Goldie got a hold of one, it got caught in

1153
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 4: the outfield. We were all sure this was the time,

1154
00:52:55,960 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 4: right this, this last matchup between Judge and Crochet, Judge

1155
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 4: is going to win. He fouled a couple off ultimately

1156
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 4: strikes out. But yeah, I don't think anybody is talking

1157
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 4: about Aaron Judge folding or being you know, not himself

1158
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 4: in the postseason. I don't think anyone's saying he's back either.

1159
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 4: Let's see him hit a homer tonight. Let's see him

1160
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 4: hit a double tonight. Let's see him continue in Game

1161
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 4: two and literally saved the season.

1162
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 2: The only thing I'll say before we let you go

1163
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 2: is you're wrong calra is the MVP. But other than that,

1164
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 2: you have great takes and I love some of the

1165
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: things you say.

1166
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 4: I'll take Ben Rice at catcher over cal Raley. We

1167
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 4: don't do that you just lost doing that over here, Judge,

1168
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 4: did he hit did he hit sixty two?

1169
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 2: Ben Rice?

1170
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 4: Did he break? Did he break the American League home

1171
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 4: run record? That's the only way I was gonna give

1172
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 4: it to cal Raley. He didn't hit sixty two.

1173
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 2: It's Judge, most switch. He broke Mickey Mantles old record,

1174
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: broke Catcher record, He broke all the records.

1175
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 4: Great stack up all of the other categories.

1176
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 2: By the way, you know you just said Ben Rice

1177
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 2: or a Platinum Glove, Platinum Glove winner at Catcher, You

1178
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:06,960
Speaker 2: just said Ben Rice.

1179
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure we're Yankee homers. We

1180
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 4: ride with the pin stripes. Yeah, give me Benaunning.

1181
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 3: Wow.

1182
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guarantee cal Rawly's facing Garret Crochet.

1183
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 3: You are right, Hey, Keith, you're your self real quick. Sorry,

1184
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 3: you're a self proclaimed leader of the fans out there.

1185
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 3: What do the fans need to do tonight? What do

1186
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 3: Yankee fans need to do tonight for their team to

1187
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,839
Speaker 3: be pushed? Because we talk about home field advantage all

1188
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 3: the time, get them? What do they need to do?

1189
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 4: I mean, and I definitely don't proclaim myself. I'm blessed

1190
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 4: like I've been out there before I was in the media,

1191
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 4: So I think there's a lot of people that have

1192
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 4: seen me go to the stadium for the last ten

1193
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 4: years and then become a radio host, become a content creator.

1194
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 4: So like I do lead, but I don't say that

1195
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 4: I'm the leader. Like you know, there there are other

1196
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 4: people out there. But I'll say this, it is hard

1197
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 4: to get that stadium up and rocking and going when

1198
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 4: they're they're not hitting. When seventeen batters in a row

1199
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 4: get retired, when you give Crochet a six pitch inning,

1200
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 4: it's like you get up and there's nothing to get

1201
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 4: up for. So tonight the Yankees got a hit. And

1202
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, with all those different sound effects and

1203
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 4: lights and things that the Yankees put on in the stadium,

1204
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 4: the main thing that will get the real Yankee fans

1205
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 4: excited and rowdy and loud and rocking that place is

1206
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 4: them stringing together hits, hitting the ball out of the ballpark,

1207
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 4: putting some runs on the board. We need offense. That

1208
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 4: is what makes people excited. That's what makes people loud

1209
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:33,720
Speaker 4: and happy in there. So they got to score.

1210
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: Keith enjoy it or stay nervous through it. But thanks man,

1211
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: you're the best. We appreciate you.

1212
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 4: Thanks, guys, appreciate you best in the business. Love the show.

1213
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: Thanks guys, the same to you, dude, love lesson n

1214
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 1: A Keith McPherson in New York on WFA, and you

1215
00:55:48,400 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: should do the same. We'll go right to kratsats here.

1216
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 3: Tina's definitely closing it out. You said we're not gonna

1217
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 3: have all game three as well, here's one Yoshinobu.

1218
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Dodgers to close it out. Okay, a couple

1219
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: other quick hitter notes. Let's see if I can do

1220
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: it in thirty seconds. Brian wu will bullpen session Thursday.

1221
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: Maybe he'd be a Game three started for them. It

1222
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: sounds like Bruce Boci not going to manage the Giants,

1223
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: but he's invited to be a part of the mix

1224
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: if he wants. And the Pirates took the only part

1225
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: of their team that worked the pitching and said, let's

1226
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: fire the pitching coach and also branch dramas out Marine

1227
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: Oscar Marine Marin. However you say it out so that

1228
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 1: makes sense for math right, No, but just wanted to

1229
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,680
