1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: That's what. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 2: Good morning. The Dodgers are still alive. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 3: The boys did it, facing elimination and getting bounced by 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 3: a division rival in the first round. For the third 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 3: time in three years, this team won in a shutout 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 3: victory over the villainous Padres last night at Petco Park, 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 3: and it was all Dodgers. We jumped out to an 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: early lead and the game was never out of our 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 3: favor eight zero. So it was a story of our offense, 10 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: both the big dogs and the guys down the lineup 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: getting it done. 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 2: And it was a story of the bullpen. 13 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 3: Eight pitchers out of the pen to match the eight 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 3: runs scored, a team effort and a managerial masterclass from 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 3: Dave Roberts. Sounded pretty quiet at Petco Park last night, 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 3: not that that's any of my business. 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 2: This was the first. 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: Away game the Dodgers have won in the postseason since 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 3: I don't know twenty twenty one. Game Five's on Friday, winner, 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: take all five to eight Pacific time. For now, it's Thursday, 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: October tenth, twenty twenty four. 22 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: The Dodgers versus Padres. 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 3: NLDS is split at two games a piece. 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm Richard Parks the third ooh, Doggy. Could this be 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: the year that. 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Falls hit hard the left center field Maron on the 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: run to the track to the wall, goodbye. Mookie Betts 28 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: does it again in the first and the Dodgers are 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: on the board. 30 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: Remember a couple of days ago, Mookie Betts hadn't had 31 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: a hit in the postseason. 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 2: For two years. Yeah, neither do I. 33 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: For the third consecutive game, Mooki homered in the first inning, 34 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: and for the second consecutive game he wasn't robbed of 35 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: that homer by a Jerrekson Profar catch, And for the 36 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: first time in those three games, Mooki rounded the bases 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: without turning into the dugout thinking that the homer had 38 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: been robbed. 39 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: Yay, And for so. 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: Many years it's felt like whither go Mooky go the Dodgers. 41 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: But that's not sustainable, especially with Freddy out of the 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 3: lineup with that bum ankle. We were looking to the 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: bottom of the order for some help, and right away 44 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: in the top of the second, those guys were getting 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: it done. 46 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: Alright's a walk for lucks. 47 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: I'm talking Gavin lux Un of the. 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: Two tutor and is a curve is lined in the 49 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: center field and a bas it for Keith Carnandez Luck's 50 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: pushing the ovelo throw it from Meryll's Lake and the 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: Dodgers having corner. 52 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 2: I'm talking key k. 53 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 3: I'm unfortunately not talking CT three because he struck out 54 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: swinging and he went over four with four k's on 55 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: the night. But other than that, I'm talking the down 56 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: the lineup guys. And in the second those guys got 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 3: on and the big Dogs brought him home. 58 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: I'm talking show hey O. 59 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: Tommy Hey said right field, Oh tany passed it drawn 60 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: in a rise able to speak it by him and 61 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 1: it's tune it up in Dodgers. 62 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: And just like that we had bounced padres Ace Dylan Cease, 63 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 3: who was pitching on three days rest and only got 64 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: through an inny and two thirds, but a three to 65 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 3: nothing lead in the third inning in the postseason against 66 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: this lineup during a bullpen game, No less is hardly 67 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 3: enough for comfort. 68 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: Enter Max Mounsey. This is the worst environment to play 69 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: in a funky Monsey. 70 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: Holt sharply down the line at a fair ball and 71 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 1: extra basis for Max Mounsei kicked around by Tatis. Smunsey's 72 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: gonna hang on a second with a leadoff double. 73 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: It was fun to watch Fernando Tatist Junior babb la ball, 74 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: even if it didn't lead to extra bases for Muncie. 75 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 3: But it's set the stage for our baby boy, America's 76 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 3: catcher Will Smith. 77 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: Smash in the ear center field, way back and gone. 78 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: Will Smith's with a long home run and the Dodgers 79 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: with a five nothing lead as they try to force 80 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: Game five. 81 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: Five zip in the third felt good. The Dodgers bullpen 82 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: in the meantime, cruising. Ryan Brazier had a one two 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: three first. Anthony Banda allowed a little traffic in the second, 84 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: but he got out of it. 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: And after we had. 86 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: This five run lead, Dave Roberts was like, that's it, 87 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 3: no more funny business, and he brings in Michael Kopek, 88 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: who's basically our closer. In the third inning, he strikes 89 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 3: out to Gashioka, gets a rise to fly out, and 90 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: after sending Fernando Tattis Junior to the ground with ninety 91 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: seven around his eyes, he gives up a ground world double. 92 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: But it's all. 93 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: Good because Profar flies out to end the inning, and 94 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: then Alex Vesia comes in for the bottom of the fourth. 95 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 3: He strikes out Manny Meryll flies out and Bogart's grounds 96 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: out for three. Bessie allows a couple runners in the 97 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: bottom of the fifth, but Dave Roberts brings in Evan 98 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: Phillips and Tatis flies out to end the inning. Now 99 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 3: five zero might sound like a comfortable lead, but during 100 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: a postseason game at Petcope par against the villainous Padres, 101 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 3: it is far from comfortable. And when you're in a 102 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: bullpen game, all it takes is one week link to 103 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: break the chain. We needed more offense. The bats had 104 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: gone quiet, and by the top of the seventh inning 105 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: I was getting super nervous. When Tail led off by 106 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: striking out, we were into the bottom half of the lineup. 107 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: We needed our guys to get it done. Munsey hit 108 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: by pitch, will Smith grounds into a fielder's choice, but 109 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: there's an error and Munsey's hustling. He makes it all 110 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: the way to third. 111 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: Lays a bun down, perfectly done. 112 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: When Tommy Edmund lays down a perfect bunt, we get 113 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 3: an insurance run six and off the Dodger. With the 114 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 3: Padres coming up to bat three more times, it was 115 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 3: still a little too close for comfort. Smitty standing on second, 116 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: two outs, Gavin Lucks at the plate, wed it. 117 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: Six of Gavin Walks jumps on the first pitch, hits 118 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: it to deep right field and gone just over the 119 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: wall for Gavin Walks to ambush's peralta and the route 120 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: is on. 121 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 2: In Game four, the Dodgers lead at eight. 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Ten of them. 123 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: Two of our other best relievers this. 124 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 3: Year, Daniel Hudson and then Blake Trinan hold the pods 125 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: at bay for the seventh and the eighth, and then 126 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: my boy the kid Land and Knack comes in to 127 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 3: shut it down for the ninth. Eight pictures masterfully deployed 128 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: by manager Dave Roberts to compliment eight runs to which 129 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: nearly every member of our lineup contributed something except you might. 130 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: Say CT three. But to that, I say, I saw a. 131 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: Smart observation about this on Twitter that at least CT 132 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: three struck out when he could have grounded into any 133 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: ending double plays. It ensured that at least Shohey could 134 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: come up to hit behind him. A full team effort 135 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 3: for this landslide victory and for San Diego a missed 136 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: opportunity to close out the series at home and advance 137 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: to the NLCY Instead, We've got a winner take all 138 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: game Friday evening at Chavez Ravine five eight pm, very 139 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: specifically Pacific time. We'll see you Darvish, who held us 140 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: to just one run over seven innings on Sunday night, 141 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: and we'll counter with we don't know yet. Maybe it's Yamamoto, 142 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: maybe it's Jack Flaherty, maybe it's another bullpen game. Honestly, 143 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: after seeing Wednesday night's victory and how we got it done, 144 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind that at all. We have to remember 145 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: to enjoy every victory because we know that it will end. 146 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 3: We just don't know when. Sir William Wallace, Braveheart has 147 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: been quoted this way, every man dies, not every man 148 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: really lives.
