1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: You were probably right in your initial analysis of sad 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Yankees fan. I've been thinking about that twenty percent chance 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: that the Yankees have. I saw twenty I guess Clint 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: saw sixteen percent. But bottom line, Yankees got to play better. 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what it feels like a two and 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: oh Monday. I don't know what it feels like to you. 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: But hello everybody, and welcome to Dodgers' Territory. We are 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: your host, that is Clint Pisias. I am Alana Rizzo. 9 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: Were psyched that you were with us.

So thanks so much for being here, and 17 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: don't forget that. We're also going to have Derek Lewandowski 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 2: of Pinstripe Territory joining us momentarily. He's going to get 19 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: the Yankee perspective, get your tissues out. But before that, 20 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: how about show or no, show Let's get to that. 21 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: Let's do it, and that is that front end his 22 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: courtesy of Derek Lewandowski. So we appreciate that very much. 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 2: But obviously, Clint, when you see show Hey go down 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: in the seventh inning with a shoulder subluxation, that makes 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: you panic. But it looks like he's gonna be okay. 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: And I can't imagine a universe in which show Hay 27 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: does not play. Do you share that sentiment? 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel pretty dang confident about show Hey being 29 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: in the lineup tonight. I think everybody in the world does. 30 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 3: Dodgers paired it back a little bit. Of course, we 31 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: saw the report yesterday ESPN Carl Ravich coming out saying 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: he heard via text from show Hey or somebody in 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: his camp that he was going to be in the lineup. 34 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 3: He's fine. Of course, the Dodgers do that thing they 35 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: do where they pull back a little bit on that, uh, 36 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 3: give themselves an out if needed. But I would I 37 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: will go jump into my freezing pool before game time 38 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 3: if show hayes not in the lineup. I don't know 39 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 3: if that's a think, but he will be in there. 40 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: He's he's gonna be in there. I mean, he's gonna 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: I would take. I said this the other day on 42 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: X I said it just now on MLB Network with 43 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: Juan Thribio, who joined me from Yankee Stadium. Actually that 44 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: I would take every Cortisol shot, every Corda Zone shot, 45 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: every horse tranquilizer, every mister Miyagi, whatever you need to get. 46 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 2: Show Hey, shove that shoulder right back in there. Get 47 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: two more wins, and then you can figure out the 48 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: rehab process and get some rent, some rest. So I 49 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: feel very confident that show Hey, we'll be in there. 50 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 2: All right. Let's go from that to the big ticket. 51 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: All right, we got it, all. 52 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: Right, so let's do that game to recap. What's your 53 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: takeaway from it? 54 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: I like it. Dodgers won, so I like it. Yamamoto 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: looked incredible. I was hoping that we would do a 56 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: post game after that, just so I could gently shove 57 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: in your face that Yamamoto was worth that twelve year 58 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: three seventy five or sorry, three twenty five. He looked 59 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: so so damn good in that game too. 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: What did I say when I texted you? I said 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: he better be the Ace because you texted me Ace. 62 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: I said, well, for twelve years, three hundred and twenty 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: five million he should be. However, I agree with you. 64 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: He looked great. That's exactly what they needed. He's pitched 65 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: unbelievably well in two of his starts against the New 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: York Yankees. Both obviously that one in June, which didn't 67 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 2: matter as much and it was a very different Yankee team, 68 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: but he pitched really good eighty six pitches. Would you 69 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: have tried to let him finish the seventh? 70 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: I would not have been opposed to watching him, you know, 71 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: get through that seventh, but also given him that opportunity 72 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: to walk off the mound with you know, all the 73 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: all the excitement, all the pomp and circumstance, getting a 74 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: standing ovation, very much well deserved standing ovation for Show Hey, 75 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: I mean for Show Hey's friend, his teammate, Yashuou Yamamoto. Yeah, 76 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 3: I'm fine with six and a third. We know that's 77 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: how this this Dodgers team is running. We know that's 78 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: how they're gonna operate this entire postseason, hopefully just two 79 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: more games with all deeper respec to Darren Lewandowski, who 80 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: is waiting to join us in the second. It's gonna 81 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: they're gonna ride that bullpen. That's what they need to do, 82 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: they want to do. Don't give these teams any opportunity 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: to get back into the games, and Alana, Dodgers find 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: themselves in a very very good situation if history continues 85 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 3: to be on our side. Eighty four percent of teams 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: who have taken a two nothing series lead in the 87 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 3: World Series have gone on to win it. That's pretty fun. 88 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: By the way, Oh, Donnie boy, we love Rizzo's wrong takes. 89 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: Lay Listen, listen. I finally figured out. It took me 90 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: ninety eight episodes, but I finally figured out how to 91 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: bring the comments up on my side of the screen. 92 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: So all right, yeah, finally finally everybody, All right, er, 93 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: what about that Homer happy offense? How about that? So 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: you have obviously Edmund our Boy, Taoskar extenteo, and obviously 95 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman. So that's what you need. You need really 96 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: good pitching. You need your sluggers to slug, but you 97 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: also need good defense and base running, which the dot 98 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: have had and the Yankees have had. Not. 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you take runs anyway you can get them. 100 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 3: Of course, Dodgers through most of this postseason have kind 101 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 3: of relied on offense through all kinds of ways. We've 102 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: We've seen the bunt getting down, We've seen you know, 103 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: singles keep the line moving. We've also seen some slug. 104 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: I didn't expect them to turn to the slug, you know, 105 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: at Dodger Stadium when we're getting this late into October, 106 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: because you know, the ball does not fly as far 107 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: as often at this time of year. But you know, again, 108 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: you take what you can get. 109 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 110 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 3: It's been a very very good series Yankees, very you know, 111 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: easily as could be one one, it could be O 112 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 3: two for the Dodgers, but thankfully, you know, again getting 113 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: just enough offense. Uh, Tommy Edmund doing Tommy Edmund things, 114 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman taking advantage of that time off and the 115 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: ankle feeling good. But I think it's about time we 116 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 3: we welcome in are are. I don't want to call 117 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: him our said Yankees friend. 118 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: No, he's our counterpart. He's our counterpart on the other 119 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: all right, Derek Vandowski, Welcome to the show. Friend. He 120 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: is the head and the owner and the and the 121 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 2: engine full of steam behind Pinstripe Territory. He also, of course, 122 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: is a big part of what we do here. On 123 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: Dodgers Territory on the Foul Territory Network. So Derek, okay, 124 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: I promise you I wouldn't be mean, and I want 125 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: a good series. I do. I want a good series. 126 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: So your take, first of all, is the Bronx burning? 127 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: And what is what? How are you feeling right now? 128 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: My friend? I know you're not, as a journalist supposed 129 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 2: to say how are you feeling? But how are you feeling? 130 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: Well? I mean you were You were probably right in 131 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: your initial analysis a sad Yankees fan. You know, I've 132 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: been thinking about that twenty percent chance that the Yankees have. 133 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: I saw twenty I guess Clint saw sixteen percent, but 134 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: you know I've been thinking about twenty percent to see 135 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: my cat go by there. Look, that is obviously not 136 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: great odds. If you're a Yankee. If if you had 137 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: a headache and I gave you five pills and I 138 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: said one of these will will cure your headache, and 139 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: four of them will kill you, you'd probably just say 140 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: deal with the headache. On the other hand, if the 141 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: power ball was two hundred million, and I you know 142 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: you had a twenty percent chance to win, I'm sure 143 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: you'd buy a ticket. So It's all on how you 144 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: look at it, the perspective. Bottom line, Yankee's got to 145 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: play better. They got to manage the bullpen better. I 146 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: didn't love the Quartes move in game one. I actually 147 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: I posted in our slat in our slack about two 148 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: seconds before Freeman went deep. I said, Kurt Gibson, moment incoming, 149 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: and you told me to shut up, Alana, you told 150 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: me to stuff it, and you know, no stra Derek 151 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: right there. But we got no chance unless Aaron Judge 152 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: starts hitting. You guys know that. I mean, yeah, that's 153 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: one of the best hitters in the game. If he 154 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: doesn't hit, we got no shot. 155 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: To piggyback off of that. 156 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: I was. 157 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: We were all waiting here because you know, to go 158 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: live for postgame Game one, and you don't know if 159 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: the Dodgers are about to win. You don't know if 160 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: they're about to lose. But I told Ilana, I told 161 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 3: Sarah while we're waiting here in the green room, saying, hey, 162 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 3: I don't know, you got a guy coming up Game 163 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: one of the World Series. He's on one leg, give 164 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: me one of the Alta also told me to shut up. 165 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: He's no Kirk Gibson and then bye bye goes ball. Listen, 166 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: there's a lot of things we could dive into with 167 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: all this, Derek, because I do agree Aaron Boone not 168 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: managing the series extremely well. It's to me it's giving 169 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: early Dave Roberts postseason Dave a lot and I have 170 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: gone on a whole bunch this October about how Dave 171 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: is kind of he's grown, He's in, He's in the 172 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: pocket right now, He's every move he's making is working out. 173 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: In the past, a lot of the moves did not 174 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: work out, and it's not Dave's fault. Sometimes players need 175 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: to perform. But Aaron Boone not getting a lot of help, 176 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 3: not getting a lot of help out of his number 177 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: three guy. I watched your post game show some of 178 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: the beginning, the vitriol, not the vitriol, but the scathing 179 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 3: rebuke of Aaron Judge. You guys need Aaron Judge going. 180 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: This is a Yankees lineup that needs the captain to 181 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: do something. What's going on with Aaron Judge? And I 182 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: hear there might be a standing ovation Trey Turner situation 183 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: in the works there at Yankee Stadium tonight. 184 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently a lot of fans want to show him 185 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: some love tonight, and I hope they do. But just know, 186 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: if you're watching the game and you're not used to 187 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: watching Yankees fans, if the overwhelming show of love at 188 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game doesn't work, you're gonna see 189 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: some tough love in about the third a bat, and 190 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be raining boothe if he goes 191 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: Ozero for two with a couple of strikeouts. Look, we 192 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: just had Verducci on Foul Territory and he was talking 193 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: about how Judge is laid on the fastball, he's early 194 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: on the breaking bowl, and I think that that's a 195 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: perfect way to describe it. He's just in between. He's 196 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: clearly pressing. I mean, to say he can't hit in 197 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: the clutch is not entirely accurate because he's done it before. 198 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: You look at twenty eighteen against the Red Sox. He 199 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: absolutely murdered the Red Sox in that series. He hit 200 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: a big two run home run off of Emmanuel Classe, 201 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: one of the most incredible home runs I've ever seen 202 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: in my life. In game t read the Alcs, but 203 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: it became a footnote and it kept this storyline alive 204 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: because the Yankees blew that game. He needs a big 205 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: moment in a game that the Yankees win. I said 206 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: to the guys on Foul Territory this morning, the Yankees 207 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: need a three run home run out of Judge in 208 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: the first inning as bad as anyone has ever needed it, 209 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: because you got to get that monkey off your back. 210 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: You got to get the life into the stadium. You 211 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: can't have this game one one in the eighth inning 212 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: because you just feel like the pressure is continuing to grow. 213 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: You don't want to fall down behind three nothing. We've 214 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: been through that before and you know on both ends 215 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: of that unfortunately. But yeah, I just think Judge needs 216 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: a big hit in his first at bat. 217 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: Do you move him down in the lineup or is 218 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: that too disrespectful to your captain? 219 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: Well, so, I don't think the Yankees are gonna do that. 220 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: Status quo is kind of the way they do things there, 221 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: And you know, if you move him down in the lineup, 222 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: that's just basically saying you have no confidence in him. 223 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: You further damage that confidence. Look at two thousand and six, 224 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: a Rod was struggling in the playoffs. From Game four 225 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: of two thousand and four through two thousand and five, 226 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: and through the first I believe two or three games 227 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: of two thousand and six, and Joe Torrey moved him 228 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: to eighth in the lineup, and a Rod still won't 229 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: shut up about it. He still is pissed off about that, 230 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: And it was a lot of stuff a Rod won't 231 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: shut up about. But I think it was a bad move. 232 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: I think it hurt a Rod's confidence. I don't think 233 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: you want to mess around with Judge, right, you know, 234 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: the pressure is just on Judge. He's getting paid forty 235 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: million dollars, So what it's pressure? 236 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: Deal with? 237 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: It hit you know, so you have before no doubt. 238 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: So we got We got a pitching matchup tonight of 239 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: two very very different levels of postseason experience with Walker Buehler, 240 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 3: of course, pitched in all of the biggest games, has 241 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: a ring to his name, and Clerk Schmidt. When we 242 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 3: spoke last week the end of last week, you know 243 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: you were high on Clerk Schmidt. But he's somebody who 244 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 3: hasn't been on this stage, not a whole lot of 245 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 3: postseason experience. What does this kid, Clark Schmidt need to 246 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 3: do to I mean, the season's not over tonight for 247 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 3: the Yankees, but it's effectively over tonight if they lose. 248 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: What has he got to do against this Dodgers lineup, 249 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: whether it has show hay or no show. Hey. 250 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: Well, Clark Schmidt's problem is that he doesn't get deep 251 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: into games. He'll give you two times through the order 252 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: really well, he doesn't get bombed. You'll never see him 253 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: give up like seven eight runs. It just doesn't happen. 254 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: The most he gave up in the game this year 255 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: was four. He did that twice. I believe he's got 256 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: second most starts of three runs or less in baseball 257 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. He can be really, 258 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: really incredible when he's cruising because he just pounds that 259 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: knuckle curveball. He throws a good cutter. The problem is 260 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: that third time through the order. So what he's got 261 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: to do is get through five innings. I don't care 262 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: how many pitches it takes. Don't give up the long ball, 263 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: don't give up the crooked number, and then you hand 264 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: it off to the bullpen and you hope that the 265 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: offense has helped you out. I want to supplement this 266 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: with a story about l Duque Orlando Hernandez. Back in 267 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, the Yankees were in a two to 268 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: one hole to the Cleveland then Indians in the Alcs 269 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: and Orlando. Hernandez had never made a postseason start before, 270 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: and that morning he was serving breakfast to the people 271 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: in the hotel. He was nice and relaxed, and one 272 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: of the reporters asked him, Hey, you know, why are 273 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: you so relaxed. You're starting tonight, you know, and and 274 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: for the first time in the playoffs. It's a big game. 275 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: And he said, well, if I wasn't nervous, you know, 276 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: coming to America with the shark circling around my raft, 277 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be nervous to pitch in a 278 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: baseball game. Clark Schmid has that same type of attitude. 279 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: That's the one thing that I feel benefits of the 280 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: Yankees tonight. Clark Schmid is a guy who has supreme confidence. 281 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: He is incredibly confident and nothing is going to bother him. 282 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: He's just one of those shake it off kind of guys. 283 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: You know. 284 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: Billy Bean once said that, you know, he would go 285 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: oh for four in a game in the minor leagues, 286 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: and you know, Lenny Dykstra was his teammate, and he 287 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 1: would also go oh for four, and Bean would be 288 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: kicking himself and the dugout and Dykes would be like, Oh, 289 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: where we're going for dinner? Like that's the type of 290 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: guy that Clark Schmid is the where we're going for 291 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: dinner guy? Aaron Judge is the you know I was 292 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: zero for five guy. 293 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Clerk Schmidt might be going to a lot 294 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 2: of vacation dinners early. I have to ask you this, though, 295 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: I have to ask you this, Derek, who is the 296 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 2: Yankees Tommy Edmond? Who needs to step up in the 297 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: middle of the bottom part of the order like Edmund 298 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: has for the Daughters. If your stars aren't gonna star, 299 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: who has to step up for you? Guys? 300 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: Well, he's been creeping back up in the order. But 301 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm, you've seen him get a couple of hits 302 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: in this series. He's done some damage on the basis 303 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: he's also got power. But I don't want to see 304 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: him swinging for the fences. You know, when he is struggling, 305 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: it's because he's trying to lift the ball into the seats. 306 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: If he focuses on having tough at bats like you 307 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: saw in the ninth inning of Game two and doing 308 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: damage on the bases like you saw late in Game one. 309 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: He can be an X factor. He can change it 310 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: inning and make a run by himself. And also Anthony Volpi, 311 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: you know, he was having a very good postseason coming 312 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: into this series. Has not had a great series yet. 313 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: But maybe you know, playing in front of the home crowd. 314 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: He's a local kid twenty three years old, grew up 315 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: a Yankee fan. Was wearing a Yankees hat and jersey 316 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: the day he came from home from the hospital, much 317 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: like I did. If he can come through in front 318 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: of the big crowd, it might set him off for 319 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, the next three games. But again, he can't 320 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: be Chase and pitches a foot and a half outside. 321 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: How important is that the Yankee stadium crowd to this team? 322 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: Can that be something that kind of gets them back 323 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: on track. 324 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna be nervous, for sure. The anxiety will be palpable, 325 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: the air will be thick. But I think it's more. 326 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: I think it's more a product of how the Yankees 327 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: perform early on in the game. If they get an 328 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: early lead, that crowd is gonna be nuts all night 329 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: and possibly all series. If they win a big game tonight, 330 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: you know that crowd is going to be a problem tomorrow. 331 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: I feel like it's incumbent on the Yankees to score early, 332 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: to set the tone, because if you fall behind early, 333 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: if if you're down four or five nothing early in 334 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: the game, the crowd doesn't matter. Go look at the 335 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and four ALCS Game seven. After the Red 336 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: Sox clawed back from a three to nothing deficit, they 337 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: jumped out to an early lead in the first and 338 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: second inning. Johnny Damon hit a grand slam, he had 339 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: a big home run from David Ortiz, and then they 340 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: just dragged the Yankees across the field for three hours. 341 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: It was a mugging, and the crowd was completely not 342 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: a part of it. In fact, most of them were 343 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: gone by the seventh eighth inning. 344 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: I tell you that's the reputation Dodgers fans get that 345 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 2: they you know, arrive late and leave early. It's because 346 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 2: of the flip and traffic, folks. It has nothing to 347 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: do with the game, all right. All right, So if 348 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: you're the Yankees lineup, how are you jumping on Buehler? 349 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: Because as much confidence as you have in Clerk Schmidt, 350 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 2: deservedly so they've got to get on Buehler early and 351 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: rattle you know him mentally. What do you do in 352 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: that situation? How do you get on him? 353 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: I think you got to just see ball hit ball tonight. 354 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 3: Just attack. 355 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta get the pressure off. You know, 356 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: if you start having these deep, deep counts, you start 357 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: bringing the strike out into play in a big spot. 358 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: I think it's one of those nights where you got 359 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: to be aggressive. You got to hit your way out 360 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: of it, right Uh, Honestly, it's it's on Bueller to 361 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: throw strikes. Like if he's not pounding the strike zone, 362 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna make him get the ball in 363 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: the zone. And if he is getting in the ball 364 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: in the zone, the Yankees are gonna have to be 365 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: aggressive with it. You can't be taking two zero fastballs 366 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: down the middle like Judge did the other night. You've 367 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: got to be aggressive. You've got to get this crowd going. 368 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: I want to see Juan Soto be aggressive tonight. I 369 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: know he's a guy who likes to pass the baton 370 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: with Judge not hitting, I think Soto needs to jump 371 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: on anything in the zone that he can and try 372 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: and you know, put one in the seats or put 373 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: one in the gap and get this offense jump started. 374 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, listen, I'm looking forward to a good 375 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 3: game here either way. I'm looking forward to Dodgers going 376 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 3: up three nothing in this series. But I'm not to posed. 377 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 3: I said, Dodgers in five. I saw you said, I 378 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 3: say your name here in an ecam the Yankees in six. Uh, 379 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: you know, let's just say that made the made the 380 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: best team win. Hopefully the Yankees can do a little 381 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: bit of something, but not too too, too too much. 382 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 3: Of course, we'll be postgaming, guys, followed Derek on the 383 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: social media's as well, he's postgaming afterwards, and uh, you 384 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 3: know he's in He's in the zone right now as well. 385 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 3: I'm enjoying the post game stuff. Joined the voicemails. Uh, 386 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: you know, not not the pain of Yankees fans, but 387 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 3: it's been fun to to just see both sides of it. 388 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 3: You do a great job, man. 389 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: By the way, I saw I was on your show 390 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: the other day and I was in the green room 391 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: and I saw your your voicemail template, and I just 392 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: I just fucking stole it. I just took it and 393 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: I copied it, and I put it in Yankees colors. 394 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: And now I have the same layout. 395 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 3: So I saw that.

He's such a sweet boy. 413 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: He's available for adoption through Carl Doggs, who Gidriy Gardy 414 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: Gidry's guardian obviously works with as well, we're very proud 415 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: of our partnership with them.

If they win tonight, 434 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 2: do they sweep. 435 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 3: I just I gotta say yeah. I mean after gam 436 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 3: really after Game one, you know the way Freddy, all 437 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 3: of that, all of that moment walk off Grand Slam. 438 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 3: You know you don't want to do that. You don't 439 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 3: want to get into that hubris of saying the Dodgers 440 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 3: are gonna sweep. And it's hard enough as a baseball fan, 441 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 3: as a sports fan, but you know, I felt that 442 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 3: down deep down on my core. I was like, I 443 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 3: just can't see this game, this series going six or seven. 444 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: I can't see it coming back to LA. You might 445 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 3: not even see it going to a game five. Dodgers 446 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 3: got Bueller tonight. You got a bullpen tomorrow. Bullpen has 447 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 3: been really good. Might be a Brent Honeywell starting for 448 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 3: the Dogs that then bullpen Dogs tomorrow, very very very 449 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 3: good spot. And again, don't be surprised if this goes. 450 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 2: For I'm gonna I'm not gonna. I don't think they're 451 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 2: gonna sweep. I do think they get the win tonight, 452 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 2: but I do think, and I do agree with you, 453 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: I think Brent Honeywell is the opener, if you will, 454 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: because he is scheduled to appear on the podium and 455 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 2: that just kind of context clues makes me think that 456 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: he's actually going to start to their start tomorrow for 457 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: that bullpen game. But a bullpen game is tough. The 458 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 2: probably start Louis Heal tomorrow. I doubt they bring Garrett 459 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: Cole back on short rest. I mean they may because 460 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: it's do or die obviously, but I do think they 461 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 2: win tonight, and I and I you know, I don't 462 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: think they win in five if they win tonight, but 463 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: I don't think they swa Let's. 464 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 3: Let's talk hold on. Let's talk Bueler a little bit, 465 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 3: because we didn't do that, uh, you know, in the 466 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 3: big ticket. But Walker Buehler, we've said it, We've kind 467 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 3: of tried to believe in it all postseason long. Granted 468 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: this is only somehow his third start, which it feels 469 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: like when you play this deep in October, which Dodgers 470 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 3: haven't done for a while, you forget how long the 471 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 3: postseason is. But this is his spot, this is his moment. 472 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: He's going into hostile territory. He's been on these massive 473 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: stages before. What do you like about Buehler in a 474 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 3: Game three in New York? 475 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: Because he thrives, He's the key Ky Hernandez of the 476 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 2: pitching staff. I mean, he thrives in October moments, right, 477 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy that lives for this moment. 478 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what it's. Like I said the other day, 479 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: I don't care if Ki k Hernandez gets all hit 480 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 2: in the right season, but I want him on every 481 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: postseason roster. I want him in every postseason lineup. And 482 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: this is what I like about Walker Bueler. In these moments. 483 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 2: Walker has some tenacity, and Walker has for whatever reason, 484 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder or at least that that attitude, 485 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 2: that confidence that you need in these big moments. You know, 486 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: I see a lot of Oral Herscheizer in Walker, obviously 487 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 2: not the exact type of stuff, but very different pitchers obviously, 488 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: but I see I see just that fire that you need. 489 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: He he exemplifies what an ace should have in this 490 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: type of situation, you know, And and he loves to 491 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: be doubted, and he's really struggled, I think, mentally, trying 492 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 2: to just get back to that form. And I think 493 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 2: the last couple of outings you're starting to see that 494 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: that's that's coming back. And he doesn't care where he pitches. 495 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: I mean, he doesn't care Walker like almost like like 496 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 2: craves it like bring it, let's go type of situation. 497 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,239 Speaker 2: And he's going to get that tonight, you know. Uh, 498 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: and in the Bronx with the Yankee fans, and they're 499 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: gonna be tight, like Derek said, They're gonna be you know, 500 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 2: very nervous and stressed and tens and tense, and it's 501 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: gonna be palpable. But that's okay. I think if Walker 502 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: can attack them early and if if you can get 503 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 2: you know, get through the first you know, the order 504 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: the first time through and you hold them to zero's, 505 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: I think that's gonna that's gonna speak volumes. 506 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, last time we saw Walker pitching, you know, 507 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 3: it was in New York. The stuff look nasty. He 508 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 3: talked about really liking pitching at City Field. Hopefully it's 509 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: something similar at Yankee Stadium. Of course, Yankee Stadium, you 510 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: know a little bit like uh Astro's Ballpark, mid It 511 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 3: made Ballpark East ball can fly out. You got to 512 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 3: watch that stuff that can go over that short porch 513 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 3: in right field. 514 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 2: Uh. 515 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 3: You know, Juan Soto's a guy. I'm very very much 516 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: watching versus Walker Buehler because Bueller did struggle a lot 517 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: during left our versus lefties this year, but still it's 518 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 3: it's Walker f and Buehler. This is the biggest moment 519 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 3: we're going to have this season for him. He's he's 520 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 3: pitching for a contract, He's pitching for a World series. 521 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: He he talks about how how important these starts are 522 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: to him, and I expect to see more of something special, 523 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 3: just like we have, you know, most of this postseason 524 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 3: out of him. Ideally the defense helps out behind him. 525 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 3: But we're we're in a good spot. We got one 526 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: more ten dollar. 527 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: Thank you, Christopher Navara. We appreciate that.

All World series long, hopefully 543 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 3: just two more games, but two been here. Jump into 544 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: the comments. There's a parade inside my city, as they say. 545 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 3: If I think if we lose tonight, I might also 546 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 3: do a post postgame show on my channel. But to 547 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 3: hype me a little bit, I just had a former 548 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 3: Dodgers reliever, Hovey Gara, on the channel. We talked about 549 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: the series, and Hovey won the twenty nineteen World Series 550 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 3: with the Washington Nationals, who were in a very similar spot. 551 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: He's yeah, he's great. He's really good, dude. I appreciate 552 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 3: my podcast network for linking us up. But the Washington 553 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: Nationals were up to nothing over the Houston Astros in 554 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 3: that twenty nineteen World Series before they lost the next three. 555 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 3: So I talked to him about that and how the 556 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,199 Speaker 3: Dodgers can avoid that, and you know, maybe the idea 557 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 3: of some complacency or whatever it is. But we feel good. 558 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 3: We feel good. Gang Dodgers in four. Let's do it. 559 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm still gonna say Dodgers, and I guess at 560 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: this point I still say six. If they win tonight, 561 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 2: it's Dodgers in five.
