1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: We're just happy to be here and just enjoying this ride.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: And we did win in twenty but we didn't really

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: get to fully celebrate it.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: So I think we all know we need a praade.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to a live edition of

6
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: Dodgers Territory. I am Alana Rizzo. That is Clint Piscius.

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 3: We appreciate you being here finally, one day closer to

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 3: the World Series getting going at Dodger Stadium. I think

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: people are already lining up. I mean, this is a

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 3: city that is excited to get into Dodger Stadium and

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: see their team hopefully bring back another World Series trophy.

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Big show for you.

13
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: Coming up today here, not only on YouTube, but wherever

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: you get your podcast. Thanks for being with us. Subscribe

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: like Greatest five Stars, All the Things. Kelly Munsey, the

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: better half of the monthly duo, is going to be

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: coming up on the show today. We're so excited to

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 3: have Kelly on board and just asking her what it

19
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 3: is like to be married to a professional ballplayer and

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: the emotional roller coaster that comes with that. But before

21
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 3: we get into the show, and before we get into

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: a big ticket, Clint and I just wanted to reflect

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: on the life and legacy of Fernando Valenzuilla, who passed

24
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: away a couple of days ago at the young age

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 3: of sixty three. Clip as a as a fan of

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: this Dodgers organization for as long as you can remember,

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: what did Fernando mean to you?

28
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 4: I mean, Fernando meant so much to the community I

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: live in, I've grown up in and seeing you go

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 4: to parties. If you're watching a Dodger game, chances are

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 4: you're going to see either a friend or somebody's Theo

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: wearing that that thirty four Valenzuela jersey. It's a massive loss.

33
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: It's a massive loss for baseball. I do love that

34
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 4: we were able to see the Dodgers in time get

35
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: the thirty four patch on the uniform. It will be

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: on the uniform for the World Series and all of

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty five season. But just an immense loss,

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: you know, again as a fan. But I imagine for you,

39
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: and I know you You've been speaking about this on

40
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: all the shows you're a part of over the last

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: couple of days. But for you, I mean, it's got

42
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: to hit a lot harder. You spent years with this man.

43
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: I had the fortune of working alongside Fernando obviously in

44
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: the press box, just on the field and on you know,

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: many community activities for seven seasons. You know, I met

46
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 3: him in twenty fourteen, and we worked together in certain

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: capacities over the course of the next seven seasons. And

48
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: while he was incredibly shy and and incredibly private, he

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: was also sneaky, funny.

50
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: And he was also incredibly gracious with.

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: His time and his knowledge and would always lend a

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: helping hand to anybody that wanted to learn about pitching

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: or just wanted to ask him questions. And it made him,

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: you know, the notoriety that he garnered and the attention

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: that he got made him incredibly uncomfortable. Fernando hated being

56
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: the center of attention, but he also understood the responsibility

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: that comes along with being who he was, not only

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: to his country of Mexico, not only to his small

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 3: town of Sonora, not only to the city of Los Angeles,

60
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: but also to a Spanish speaking and Latin fan base

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: that really like just grabbed onto him for their own

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: country and their own culture. I had so many people

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: reaching out to me that said that Fernando was their

64
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: link to their Spanish speaking parents. Fernando was their link

65
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: to their Spanish speaking parents and baseball and the city

66
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: of Los Angeles. So you had a lot of people

67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: that were born and raised in La born and raised

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: in the United States, that had parents that didn't speak English,

69
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: but baseball and Fernando was able to bring them all together.

70
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: And he's just He's an icon of the sport. He

71
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: deserves to be in Cooperstown because of what he meant

72
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: and Fernandomanium meant to the sport and the early eighties.

73
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that the Dodgers did the right thing and

74
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: retired thirty four and put him in the Ring of Honor,

75
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: because they don't retire numbers unless you're in the Hall

76
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: of Fame. Fernando's a Hall of Famer, and the Dodgers

77
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: did the right thing, and I am grateful that they

78
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: did it when he was still alive so he could

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: witness that.

80
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Yeah, I mentioned that on a show I did

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: last night. He is a Hall of Famer. It's not

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 4: the Hall of very good numbers, the Hall of incredible stats.

83
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: It's what you meant for the game. It's the Baseball

84
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. And without him you might not have

85
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: baseball in Mexico. You definitely wouldn't have as many fans

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: drawn you know, three four million fans at Dodger Stadium

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: every single year to where they can afford to go

88
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 4: out and keep making this team better and better. It

89
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: starts with that through line in nineteen eighty and then

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty one, big time in Fernando Mania and

91
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: you know, rest in peace, and you know our thoughts

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: and prayers. Of course going to the Valenzuela. The family,

93
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: they kept it very very private, Like you said, very

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: private man. But let's shift gears and maybe get into

95
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: some World Series talk.

96
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 5: Now, let's do it.

97
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Let'ss the big ticket do it, all.

98
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: Right, So we have a clearer picture, Clint, of who's

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: going to start obviously Game one, it's Garrett Cole for

100
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: the New York Yankees. It's Jack Flaherty for the Los

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers. I'm digging this. This is this is a

102
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: move I like. And remember this was a guy that

103
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: was almost a member of the Yankees, but they decided

104
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: not to pick him up at the trade deadline because

105
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: of some back issues. Ken Rosenthal has documented that incredibly well.

106
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: But you know, what, I'll take it because that means

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 3: he's on our side and he's getting.

108
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: The nod for Game one.

109
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: Do you like this move or would you have liked

110
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 3: to have seen Yama going as your Game one starter.

111
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 4: I think the thing I like the most about it

112
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: is there was an option. There were decisions. The Dodgers

113
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: could have gone Buellery, they could have gone Flaherty, they

114
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: could have gone Yamamoto. They went out and got this

115
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 4: guy at the trade deadline for a reason. It was

116
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 4: to start these big games. It was to be somebody that,

117
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: you know, in event another big name falls, somebody like

118
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 4: Tyler Glass now you know, falls off the radar or

119
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: drops out of contention to be in the starting rotation

120
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: for the postseason. It was going to be that next

121
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: guy up, and it was going to be the arguably

122
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: the best available starting pitcher, Jack Flaherty. Maybe maybe I

123
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: would have gone Yamamoto, but you know, I'm not going

124
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 4: to question Dave Roberts in the front office at all

125
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 4: this postseason anymore. They're making the right moves and the

126
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: balls and Jack Flarerty's hand. Game one, it worked very

127
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 4: very well against them Mets. Yeah, by the.

128
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: Way, heads up, that you can go over to our

129
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: friends at Foul Territory, president of Baseball Operators, president of

130
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: the team. Rather, Stan Caston, president of the Los Angeles Dodgers,

131
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: was on Foul Territory with our boys over there today,

132
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: So check out the entire interview over there. Does that

133
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: mean Walker goes in game three, Clint? Or is it

134
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: a bullpen game in three or four?

135
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, we know it's Flarity game one. We

136
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 4: know it's Young Moodo game too, So you really like

137
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 4: that here in LA. I don't know what you do.

138
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a different era of baseball. We were

139
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: talking about that in our pre production meeting before the show.

140
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: It's like the fact that we're saying bullpen game and

141
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: we're not immediately cringing. I guess that's, you know, kind

142
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 4: of a tell tale sign that this bullpen has been very,

143
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: very good. I'm not as big of a fan of

144
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: Walker Bueler getting as long of a layoff. I think

145
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: it would have been maybe ten days. We're pushing two

146
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: weeks since Walker's last appearance. But if he's pitching in

147
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 4: you know, game three or game four, if I'm looking

148
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: at this, I think you know, games one and two

149
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 4: dictate their plan heading into New York. What are your

150
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: thoughts on it?

151
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 3: I still cringe a little bit with bullpen games, but

152
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: that's where we are, right. I mean, I think what's

153
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: crazy is that we have three starters that are question

154
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: marks still as to how long in the game can

155
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: you go. And that's just a product of coming off

156
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 3: of surgeries. That's just a product of injuries to the

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: remainder of the staff. But it doesn't matter now, this

158
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: is what we're dealing with, and Dave managed, Dave Roberts

159
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: has managed his butt off in dealing with the roster

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: that he has. Now, I would rather Walker go game three,

161
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: just because you talked about the layoff, and obviously it's

162
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: going to dictate what happens in game one and two

163
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: as to who goes in three and the remainder of

164
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: the you know, the amount of games left in the series,

165
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: you know who I'd really like to have Tyler glassnow.

166
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: I like to have Tyler glassnow go game one. And

167
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: he was actually also on foul territory killing himself because

168
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: he's on the shelf. But also talking about this camaraderie

169
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: in chemistry that we're going to talk to Kelly Munsey

170
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 3: about coming up because Max is kind of spearheading the

171
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: whole thing. But you know, I too, am not going

172
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: to question what Dave Roberts ends up doing. What I

173
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: also wanted to ask you about, though, is the bullpen,

174
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: because now they have some roster decisions that.

175
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: They need to make. Is Vesia going to be good

176
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 5: enough to come back? Is grattoral?

177
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: Are we going to get a bazooka sighting? What do

178
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: you think you're good at kind of putting the roster together?

179
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: Like we call it a rosturbation, and I'm sorry, that's

180
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: what I call it. Been a great segment on my

181
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: shows over the years. But if there's one guy, and

182
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: I've talked about this on my show very recently, if

183
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 4: there's one guy that this team desperately needs, it is

184
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: Alex Vessia in this bullpen. From what we've heard this week,

185
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: you know today is going to be a very very

186
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: important day as well. I don't remember if he threw

187
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 4: the hitters yesterday or if he's doing it today, but

188
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 4: how he comes in tomorrow will dictate whether or not

189
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: he's able to give it a go in Game one

190
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 4: of that World Series or even in the World series

191
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 4: at all, But the fact that you have Awan Soto

192
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: in there, that you have add not Ddugorus, sorry Jazz

193
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: Chisholm Alex Verdugo looking you know for blood here in

194
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: LA you need that second lefty alongside Anthony Bonda. So

195
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: he's gonna give it everything he's gotten, whether he's you know,

196
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: at one hundred percent or not as he deals with

197
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: that that right intercostal strain. You know, I'll still take

198
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: maybe ninety five percent of Alex Mevessia. But the funny

199
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 4: thing with Alex Vessia is ninety five percent. He's usually

200
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 4: like one hundred and fifteen percent guy, So you're really

201
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: really producing him if you don't have him at full strength.

202
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 4: But that appears to be the one guy I we

203
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 4: haven't seen anything with Graderol that tells me he's an

204
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: honest and true option to be on the active roster

205
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 4: for the World Series. Ben Casparius has earned a spot

206
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: in there. Brent Honeywell, you saw the interview with Dave Say,

207
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: Brent Honeywell, means a lot to this organization and to

208
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: have some guys that can get you some length in

209
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: a seven game series are important. So there's really just

210
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: one spot. You know, it's Vessia and maybe Henriquez out

211
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: or something like that. But you gotta have Alex Vessia

212
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: in this bullpen.

213
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: I would love to see it, all right. So that's

214
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: kind of the questions with the bullpen. I mean, someone's

215
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: got to come on or come out if Vesia gets added.

216
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 3: What about the fact that we still don't have clarity

217
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: on Lux and Rojas? Do you think they make this

218
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: world series roster.

219
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 4: Rojas. I'm feeling less inclined, you know, or less some

220
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 4: optimistic about seeing him around. The Lux thing is kind

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: of changed a little bit. I mean when the I

222
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 4: think it was Game two or something like that, he

223
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: mentioned the hip kind of bothering him a little bit.

224
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: I thought it was just one of those things. He

225
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: made it like it was one of those things where

226
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 4: it's just kind of nagging him a little bit and

227
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: not going to be that big of an issue in

228
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: the long run for him. But if he can't be

229
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: in there, the Yankees got a lot of right handed pitching.

230
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: If he's not going to be in there, I think

231
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: that's going to be a little bit of a problem

232
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: for this for this organization. But you know, Dave said

233
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: he should be fine. He said he should be fine.

234
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 4: And that's that's I'm going to keep holding out hope

235
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 4: that they will be available.

236
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we're going to talk to Killy Monsey

237
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,600

Speaker 6: really matters.

260
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: I always appreciate Heel for being a part of Dodger's territory,

261
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: but not nearly as much as I appreciate my girl,

262
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 3: Kelly Munsey coming on the show. Kelly, it's so good

263
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: to see you. It's been too long, but I appreciate

264
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: you taking the time. First thing I wanted to ask

265
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: you is what is the emotional rollercoaster like of being

266
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: the wife of a baseball player? I mean, how do

267
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: you breathe when you're living and dying on every single

268
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 3: at bat, when Max is at the plate or you know,

269
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: defensively in the field.

270
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

271
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing like playoff baseball truly, Like you

272
00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: just can't describe it.

273
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: It's but it's it's the best.

274
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: You're just anxiously waiting for the games. The game starts,

275
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: it's just the thrill of every pitch matters, and you're

276
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: looking and watching every play whereas not that you're not

277
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: worried about it during the regular season, but it's just

278
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: all the girls are all together, just you know, watching

279
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: everything go down, and there's nothing quite like it.

280
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: It's stressful, but when you win, it is worth it.

281
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 4: All four wins away from something pretty special. Of course,

282
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: you guys a couple of years ago got to celebrate

283
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: a world series. We see you here holding that piece

284
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 4: of metal, as Rob Manfred called it. We love what

285
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 4: I love what Max has. Kind of the role he

286
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: has grown into in that Dodgers clubhouse. I mean, obviously

287
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 4: he's had. It's insane when you think back to twenty eighteen,

288
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 4: just the growth of this man and you get to be,

289
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 4: you know, alongside it, watching him not only grow as

290
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: a husband and a father, but also a bit bullplayer, ballplayer,

291
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 4: a leader in that clubhouse, which felt very important to

292
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: someone like me in that post justin Turner era, can

293
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: you speak to the growth you've seen, you know, from

294
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 4: your vantage point in Max Munsey being somebody that you know,

295
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 4: we hear about him being the guy who says, hey,

296
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: you know what, we're we're spending the next three weeks

297
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: with the boys. We are going to go out there

298
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: and win this we're going to kind of treat this

299
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 4: like the bubble in twenty. What's been your vantage point

300
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: of it.

301
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: It's been cool to see. So obviously he came up

302
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: and you know, he was.

303
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: Almost out of baseball.

304
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: We've all heard the story and has kind of just

305
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: grown into this, like you said, and you know, mentioning Justin.

306
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: Him and Max were super close, and I feel like

307
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: he always, you know, he respected everything Justin did. And

308
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: we hate that they're that they're not here with us,

309
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: and they were a huge part of the team. But

310
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: I do feel like Max has kind of tried to

311
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: like come into that role and you know, do whatever

312
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: he can to help, you know, teach the younger generation,

313
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: like how how it should be played, how you should

314
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: do and yeah, especially this year, like just the past

315
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: few years, like going through it and just losing so

316
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: early and just knowing like we're a better team than this,

317
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: like we should have probably advanced farther the past few years.

318
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: And so he just took it and was like, you

319
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: know what, we need to just switch it up. We

320
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: need to do whatever we can differently, not that necessarily

321
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: anything was wrong, but just what can we do to

322
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: change it? And I do think, you know, the guys

323
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: getting together more and being more bonded has seemed to

324
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: help for sure. And that is kind of like taking

325
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: what we did in twenty and everyone had to be close.

326
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: We were in a hotel, we were stuck families.

327
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: But it's just been cool seeing him, you know, grow

328
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: into his own and he loves it. He loves his game,

329
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: he loves everything about it, he loves the Dodgers. We're

330
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: just happy to be here and just enjoying this ride.

331
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: And we did win in twenty but we didn't really.

332
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Get to fully celebrate it.

333
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: So I think think we all know we need a parade,

334
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: and that's what Helen deserves.

335
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: That's why we need, no question about that.

336
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: Not only the Dodgers and the Lakers in the same

337
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: year getting jipped on the parade. One good thing that

338
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 3: came out of that bubble, Kelly is Sophie and then

339
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: a couple of years later, obviously Wyatt and let me

340
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 3: tell you what is it like. And they're not old

341
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: enough yet to be in that whole social media world obviously,

342
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: thank goodness. But there's got to be that mama bear

343
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 3: instinct that comes out of you. You're sitting in the stands.

344
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's not always PG when it's you guys

345
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: are in the family section. How do you shelter your

346
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: kids from that? Because to them Max is just daddy.

347
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 6: It isn't.

348
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: They don't care that he's a baseball player. He's he

349
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: that's their dad. How do you how do you deal

350
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: with that as a mom and a wife.

351
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: It's hard.

352
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they don't. They don't get it. Like

353
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: to them, it's just like going to the game is fun.

354
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: It's you know, their second home. Honestly, in New York,

355
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: Mets fans were pretty good. There was one that when

356
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: they were up maybe that that last game, a fan

357
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 2: came up and was like, you haven't fun yet?

358
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Thinke to why? Maybe why in my lap? And it

359
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: wasn't bad.

360
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: But it is hard because you're like, you know what,

361
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: take it out on me, I guess if you have to,

362
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: But like I we're not responsible for it. Like I know,

363
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: that's just like they're just trying to do whatever they

364
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: can to egg on the other team. But yeah, it's

365
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: hard because it they have nothing to do with it.

366
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: They're just you know, trying to support their dad. And

367
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it's unfortunately, just something

368
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 2: that comes with it, like everything with social media too,

369
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: It's just it's part of it, and good or bad,

370
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: it's what we're in and you just kind of have

371
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: to address it as best you can and just keep moving.

372
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 4: And we know the kiddo's got to spend a lot

373
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 4: more time with Dad this summer dealing with that oblique

374
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 4: what was that like having Max home through the majority

375
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 4: of the summer. Who was more ready for him to

376
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 4: get out the door? Was it you? Was it him?

377
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: How was that experience?

378
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: I mean, those first few road trips when he was home,

379
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: it just he wanted to not be there, And not

380
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: that he didn't want to spend time with us, but

381
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: like it's the season. He's not supposed to be home,

382
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 2: Like he's not supposed to be watching the games with

383
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: me on the couch. Like it just and I think

384
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: once we finally got to a point where it was like,

385
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 2: you know what, we're hurt. We're not getting better right now.

386
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: This is just what it is. It's not ideal, but

387
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: let's maybe just enjoy the family time we do get

388
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: because we need to just you know, think of the

389
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 2: positives right now. And once we kind of got to

390
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: that point, it was super nice having him home. But yeah, no,

391
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: he was ready and I was ready for him to

392
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: get back there. Not that we didn't like having him home,

393
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but I just know how bad

394
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: he wanted to be out there. But you know, it

395
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 2: all happened for a reason, and thankfully we're here today.

396
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: And that's what we kept saying.

397
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: You know what, we can just get healthy for October

398
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: in November, that's really all that matters. You know, this

399
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: is this is not great, but it is what it is. Yeah,

400
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: we're just we're just glad he's healthy for the most part.

401
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: Everyone's hurting right now. But it's great.

402
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: Need to find that magic chiropractor guy too, because it

403
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 4: seemed like it just fixed everything for him that the

404
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 4: wing came back. He was locked in love seeing that

405
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: for for for mad.

406
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: Max Kelly, let me ask you, can you kind of

407
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 3: peel the curtain back on what a rehab assignment is

408
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: like for him? Just because an oblique is so tricky,

409
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 3: much like a hamstring issue, you don't want to push

410
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: it too far to exacerbate it, but you also still

411
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 3: have to know you can push your body to get back.

412
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: So what was that rehab process like for him and

413
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 3: how different. I mean, I obviously know Max relatively well.

414
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 3: He's not the most patient human being, So how hard

415
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: is that to go through that rehab process knowing that

416
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 3: all he cares about is being back on the field.

417
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 2: I think because we didn't go ou out to Okay

418
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: see or to what was it, Vegas, but just talking

419
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: to him, I think he was good about playing it smart.

420
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: Where he wasn't doing VP, he was trying to limit

421
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: his swings, which I know it was hard for him, but

422
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: that's why one of I think in Vegas he had

423
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: a day off and it was just because he wanted to,

424
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: you know, take the time and do VP and focus

425
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: on his swing. But I do think that's hard when

426
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: all you want to do is be out there and

427
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: you know, get back to normal. But you also need

428
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 2: to be smart about not taking too many swings, not

429
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: not overdoing it, because it is it's so easy to

430
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: just one swing and you're back to where you started,

431
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: if not worse. But I think he did a pretty

432
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 2: good job going through the rehab assignment being like, Okay,

433
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: let's not rush it. We've already missed this so much time,

434
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: Like a little bit longer, it's gonna hurt. So I

435
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: think taking that, I think it was almost a week

436
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 2: or whatever that was, and not being just so you know,

437
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: anxious to get back, but being smart about it was

438
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: really good.

439
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: And it all culminates to this one day away from

440
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: the World Series, the third that the Munsie family has

441
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: been a part of, of course, so we still very

442
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 4: much love and remember the very bearded Max hitting that

443
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 4: walk off and get us send us all home at

444
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: a very very late night in game what three four

445
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 4: here in LA. But the third time through? How how

446
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 4: is that? Like you've touched on it already, but how

447
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 4: is that for you the family? How excited are people

448
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: in your circle? And you know, the wives and girlfriends, everybody,

449
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 4: you guys spending all this time together riding and dying

450
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: through this. How much fun are you guys having with

451
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: this and the excitement leading up to tomorrow?

452
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: It's super fun. It never gets old. You could be

453
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: in a hundred of them, and I don't think it's

454
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 2: ever gonna, you know.

455
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Lose its luster.

456
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: But this group of girls this year is special and

457
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, from the first postseason game, I feel like

458
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: we've just like bonded so well and everyone is just

459
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: cheering for each other and just doing everything we can,

460
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: you know, support and it's just fun because we get

461
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: together before the games. We have a little pregame prayer

462
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: toast all the things, and it's just fun.

463
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: It's really fun.

464
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: And you know, winn or lose, hopefully more win, we're

465
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,760

486
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 5: wanted to reintroduce you to Bernadette.

487
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: She is almost six months old now. She'll be six

488
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 3: months old on November fifteenth. She is an American bulldog

489
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 3: and German shepherd mix. She is super wonderful with all dogs,

490
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 3: She's good with cats, she's great with kids. She is

491
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: being fostered in Scottsdale, Arizona at the moment, but she

492
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: is available for adoption, fully vaccinated. She is getting Spade

493
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 3: on November nineteenth. That's very important to prolong the health

494
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 3: of our dogs as well as to help control that

495
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,959

513
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: PCs My word, how much would you actually pay to

514
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: go see a World Series game in either your beloved

515
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium or at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx because

516
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: tickets are out of control?

517
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd say I won't pay some of these prices.

518
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 4: I think I think they are coming down. I've seen

519
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: today and get in like as cheap as eight or

520
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: nine hundred bucks. And if that's cheap, woof, that's rough.

521
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 4: But some of these tickets, uh, Sarah just said thirty

522
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 4: six grand for the most expensive tickets. What what comes

523
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 4: with all that? Because like it better come with a

524
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: massage and like a nice date night and all this

525
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. That's a lot of money, a lot

526
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: of money.

527
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 3: I saw tickets row one right behind like basically on

528
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 3: top of the Dodgers dugout.

529
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: I think CJ.

530
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: Nikowski posted this does a great job obviously in the

531
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 3: broadcast world for Major League Baseball.

532
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: CJ.

533
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 3: Nikowski posted it. It was fifty four thousand dollars. That's

534
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: a new BMW.

535
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 5: That's a that's a salary for somebody. That's a like

536
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 5: for families. Like, what are we doing? I mean, I

537
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 5: get it.

538
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 3: It's it's La, it's New York, it's Dodgers, it's Yankees.

539
00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: But mercy, okay, I just I don't know. I don't know, right.

540
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: Clinton money laying around a lot. I'm telling you, I

541
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 4: just don't have it.

542
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: You know what though, it's stupid.

543
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: Is even if I was Elon Musk or Beyonce, I'm

544
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 3: not spending that on these tickets. I'm just not.

545
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean, so Derek.

546
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 3: Lewandowski, who by the way, is the Lord of the

547
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: Yankees over on Pinstripe, Territory.

548
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: He's going to do a show with us on Monday.

549
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: I did the calculation.

550
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: I can get forty five pizzas for the cost of

551
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: one Yankee ticket.

552
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: Easy decision.

553
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: He's also going to be seven hundred pounds by the

554
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 3: time the World Series ends. But that's thing for here

555
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: nor there. Clint, what's coming up on All Dodgers with

556
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,679

Speaker 4: I'll let me get the right graphic up there tonight.

558
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: I think that says no, it is the right one.

559
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: More World Series preview shooting to have a guest. I

560
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: might reach out to Derek and see if he's down

561
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 4: to join me. I was on Pinstripe Territory last night.

562
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: If people missed that previewing World Series Game one and

563
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: the series as a whole. But six o'clock Pacific time

564
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 4: here on the YouTube tube in we'll have some pre

565
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 4: series voicemails in there and just general thoughts about this

566
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: World Series, along with some predictions. Alana, you got you

567
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: got a prediction? What are you feeling?

568
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking doc I'm taking no, no, no no.

569
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 3: I feel very confident about this Dodgers and six. I

570
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: think the Dodgers I don't know. I just feel Dodgers

571
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: and six. I'm very confident with that prediction, and that

572
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: way they get to win at home, which is sweet.

573
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Dodgers and six is very nice. So right after

574
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: the World Series, I might have even after NLDS Game six,

575
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: I think I said even on our post game, and

576
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: I'll see us on our post game. I think I

577
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: said Dodgers in five. The very next morning I said,

578
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 4: I don't know how much I still believe Dodgers and five.

579
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 4: Dodgers and six would be very very nice to see. Indeed, Uh,

580
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: that would also be would have been Fernando of Anzuela's

581
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 4: sixty fourth birthday Game six here in La So there's

582
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: a lot of really nice things if the Dodgers do

583
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: win it in six. With all due respect to our

584
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 4: friend Derek Lewandowski of Pinstripe Territory, but we got game one.

585
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: How about we how about we win it for Fernando.

586
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 3: That's gonna do it for Clint Pisias and myself on

587
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 3: Rodger's territory.
