1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to a live, brand new

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: edition of Dodgers Territory. It is a post game edition

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: after the first game of the NLDS. We are your hosts.

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: I am Alana Rizzo, and I'm so excited to see

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: my friend and have my friend Tim Nevertt as my

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: co host. Clymt Pasias is off tonight, So Tim, thank you,

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: because I know you're a very busy man. Of course,

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: you can hear Tim on AM five seventy with the

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. You can see Tim on Sports and

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: at LA. I didn't know how this was gonna go. Honestly,

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: I think the Phillies are a phenomenal opponent. The first

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: couple of innings, when the Phillies went up three nothing,

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh oh, but sho heyo, Tani settled in

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers get Game one. What was the biggest

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: takeaway that you have of Game one of the NLDS.

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think the fact that again they went up

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: three nothing. You can't panic. I mean, you've seen enough

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: baseball games you know that it's not over for a while.

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: To solve Sanchez, at some point or another, they got

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: him out of the ball game. David Robertson was tough

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: coming out of the bullpen, but again the Dodgers did

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: what they had to do. They got two. Keith a Hernandez,

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't I would stop short, I pump the brakes

24
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: on calling him mister October yet, but maybe we just

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: say it's Keeke Tober because of how he plays during

26
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: this month of the year. And I was thinking to

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: myself or I come up with something, do something, and

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: he wax it down the line for a two run

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: double and it's three to two. Now you get a

30
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: ball game, right and shoheo. Tony's still the pitcher of record,

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: and his stuff was fabulous that I think. You know,

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: there's I think a number of takeaways here because you

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: look at the play in right field that turned into

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: a triple for real Muto, and you wonder how Taoskar

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: didn't cut that ball off and I mean would have

36
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: held him to a double, might have saved another run. Okay,

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: that's water under the bridge, especially when he hits a

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: three run home or later to make up for that.

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: But just there's a lot of takeaways. I think, you know,

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: Otani pitching in this game, in particular, was the right

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: move instead of starting him in Game one of the

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: wild Card, because now you get a day off for

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: him to rest the bat. The bat wasn't there today.

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: He was zero for four with a walk. He struck

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: out four times, which you don't see him do very often,

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: and twice he struck out on fastballs down in the

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: middle looking. So that's out of the way. The Dodgers

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: steal game one, and in a short series, stealing game

49
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: one when you're on the road is super important. What's

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: a huge advantage in a five game set, you know?

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 2: So I really think that it was great. I mean,

52
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: you know, the way that both starters pitched today I

53
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: thought was very good. It was kind of what I expected.

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: I was really interested in seeing how the matchup Otani

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: against Shwarbur would go power against power, and if it

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 2: was the other way around, Shoreber pitching to Otani, I

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: would say advantage Otani, right, So, but in this case

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: it was really good to see. I like the fact

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: they went to Glasnow and he didn't throw enough strikes

60
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: there and get himself in a little trouble, but Vessia

61
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: get out of it. And then Roki Sasaki is he

62
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: the X factor? Is he the Walker Buller of last year?

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: Is he going to be the Julio Rias from twenty twenty,

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: the guy who's who was a starter and now is

65
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: coming out of the bullpen and right now he's finishing

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: up games. He just saved the game for Otani. So

67
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: I think that there's plenty of takeaways from this one.

68
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: But the biggest takeaway is going into Philadelphia in that environment.

69
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: And you know what it's like, Alana, because the Philly

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: fanatics set out a dinner table for you in the past.

71
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: You know what it's like there. So to go in

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: there and steal game one, is it's that they couldn't

73
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: have gone any better.

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: No, it's massive, It's massive. There's so many things I

75
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: want to break down about this game. Let's talk about

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: first the starting pitching, and then we'll talk about the offense.

77
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Hernandez brothers coming up huge, But Tim,

78
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: let's talk about the starting pitching. So obviously, sho Hey

79
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: Otani was the starter of this game. On our show

80
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: the other day, I told clemt Psis, I said, show

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: Hey is going to give us six innings. He's not

82
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: going to give up an earned run and He's gonna

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: be great. If you can set up the bullpen seven

84
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: to eight to nine, you're gonna be fine. Obviously, he

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: gave up an earned run, he gave up three, but

86
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: he did give you six, which is exactly what you needed.

87
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Hopefully that will continue throughout this series where your starters

88
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: give you six innings. Tyler glasnow comes out of the pen,

89
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: which Tyler is used to being a starter, right, and

90
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: then you have Rokie Susaki. So, but think about the

91
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: embarrassment of Riches show, Hey Otani, Tyler Glasnow, Alex Vesia,

92
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Rokie Sasaki. But let me ask you, this is this

93
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: is the piggy back strategy the way that it's gonna

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: be throughout the postseason for the Los Angeles Daughters.

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 2: I would think. So, I think they need to get

96
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: mg and back on track after his wild Card outing

97
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: and have him pitch. If he can pitch the way

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: he pitched during the regular season. He's he's been unbelievable,

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: this guy. And he you know, it was like a

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 2: it was the equivalent to a trade acquisition getting him

101
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: back off of Tommy John surgery was at late June

102
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: early July in there, so I got I like the

103
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 2: piggyback thing. I've seen it before back in twenty eighteen

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: when I was with Boston. Alex Cora did that with

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: Rick Porcello. He was kind of he called him his rover, right,

106
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: so he would be the rover pitcher. He would come

107
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: in at these different spots and whatnot. Nathan and Valdi

108
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: was coming out of the bullpen. Then Joe Kelly was

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: there at that time and converted starter back to the bullpen.

110
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: So guys with starting experience were coming out in relief

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: in these games. Every pitch in these games is like

112
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: three pitches in a regular season game, right, I means

113
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: so much more to it. There's so much more importance

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: on every single pitch, every single ball that's put in play,

115
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: every like every ball, you know, because you hang on

116
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: every pitch in the postseason. During the regular season, a

117
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: game in June, you might look over and say, give

118
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: me some popcorn or something, and you know, you might

119
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: miss a pitch or two. You might be talking about

120
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: work or home or whatever. But not in the postseason.

121
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: You're glued to, you know what's going on, and it's

122
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: just so different. It's such a heightened sense of importance

123
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: with every pitch, and that's why I think you have

124
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: to use your best pitchers. And I think you know

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: the way that Clayton Kershaw has pitched this year, most

126
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: of his season, he's been really terrific. Even his last

127
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: outing in Seattle was incredible. I thought, for where he

128
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: is in his career, we're going to see him at

129
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: some point in the series coming out of the bullpen.

130
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: I don't see him starting unless Dave Roberts decides to

131
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: start him in Game five, which I think that would

132
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: be what that would be back in Philadelphia Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

133
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 2: a week from today, so that would be old Tani.

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: So Kersh is going to be in the pen and

135
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: we might see him come out of the pen for

136
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 2: some brief work. But I like what I see from Sasaki.

137
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: It's in everybody's benefit that there's a day off tomorrow,

138
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: which is just basically part of the TV schedule, but

139
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: it benefits everybody. And now you go back to work

140
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: in two days and you've got Blake Snell on the mount.

141
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: So I think it works out pretty well for the

142
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: Dodgers right now in terms of the pitching. And I

143
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: do like the stacking of the starters.

144
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, really it is. We have amazing, amazing talent, and

145
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: throughout the season, Tim, I wasn't sure if it was

146
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: all going to come together, and it's coming together at

147
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the right time because they're all healthy and they all

148
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: have availability. Let me ask you though about there's a

149
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: little bit of a question mark about Will Smith. Why

150
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: is he healthy enough to come in in the fifth

151
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: inning or whatever it is to pinch hit and then

152
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: catch the remainder of the game, but he's not healthy

153
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: enough to start. You know more about this situation than

154
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I do, So break this down. What is the plan

155
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: for Will Smith? And why are the Dodgers carrying three catchers?

156
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: If there's nobody's told me anything about this. This is

157
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: just my opinion on it, just from being an observer

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: there every day. They are very, very impressed with the

159
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: way Ben ryt Bett has handled the pitching staff, and

160
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: I think they knew that Will was going to get

161
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: in this game at some point in time when they

162
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: needed to hit. You know, Ben's not the hitter that

163
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: Will is, obviously, so he was healthy enough to catch

164
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: and it's tough to say, Okay, are you ready to go?

165
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: In Game one of the Division Series. Yeah, So he

166
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: was ready to go, but I do think they wanted

167
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: to get Bett through a couple of cycles of hitters,

168
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 2: and with Otani, he's done really well with Otani, He's

169
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 2: done exceptionally well with Yamamoto. The first time he caught Yamamoto,

170
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 2: it was eight and two thirds no hit innings with

171
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: Blake Snell. And I'm interested to see if he starts

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: with Blake Snell. And the reason I think he might

173
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 2: is I asked Ben about catching Blake Snell for the

174
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: first time. I said, you know, you just got here.

175
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: We were in the dugout in San Francisco and he

176
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: wasn't here very long. And I said, you just got here.

177
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's like drinking out of a fire hose.

178
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: How's it, Ben? And you know Roy Fett's kind of

179
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: a character. So he goes, Oh, it's hot, man, it's hot.

180
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: And I started laughing and I said, well, what about

181
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: catching Snell? I said, how did you, you know, take

182
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: time and learn him. He goes You know, I didn't.

183
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: I said, what do you mean he goes no? He

184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: just said, because he wears the pitchclm on his left

185
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: hip Snell does, he goes no. I'll just call him

186
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: you catch him. Yeah, And it was as simple as that.

187
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: The first time they they worked together and Snell had

188
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: a great outing, So I think they've been going with that,

189
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: that philosophy, and there was a lot of that the

190
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,119
Speaker 2: first time he caught Yamamoto too. If you notice, Yamamoto

191
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: wore the PitchCom where he hadn't worn it much, if

192
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: not most of the season. So he calls some of

193
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: his pitches, and he did tell me that it was

194
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: a mix. Sometimes he'd call it, sometimes Yama would call

195
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: the pitch. I do think they like Ben's defense early

196
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: in the game and the way that he receives the pitchers.

197
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: That's my opinion. That's the only reason I think Will

198
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: Smith didn't start.

199
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: Okay, makes sense. Let's do a focus on show hey Otani,

200
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: and the reason being is because he's the best player

201
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: in the game. So I want to talk about showtime

202
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: for a second. Tim Neverrick, you can't for a second,

203
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: all right, So on the mound tonight, six innings, three hits,

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: three earn runs, one walk, nine k's. It took him

205
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: a minute to settle in, but he did so. I

206
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: mean Harper and Schwarber, the two big big lefties by

207
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: the way. Congratulations to Bryce and Kay Harper. They had

208
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: their son another son today. Congratulations or not today, but

209
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: recently Harper and Schwarber oh for six with four k's.

210
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's massive, right, So Showhy on the mound. Unbelievable.

211
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: It took him a minute. Why did he Why did

212
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: he need that time to settle in? What was the difference?

213
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: What did you see?

214
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: I thought he just got more comfortable as it went on.

215
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: He has never started a postseason game before in the

216
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: major leagues. I mean, here's a guy who finished up

217
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classics striking out his then teammate Mike Trout.

218
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: That was probably the biggest time for him that he's

219
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: been on the mound in a game, right, I mean,

220
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: because you know, Japan won. It was a huge moment

221
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: for his country winning the WBC, and he was the

222
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: guy on the mind that got it done. So for him,

223
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: I think it just took him a little bit to

224
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: settle in, get comfortable. He wasn't on his home mound,

225
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: he was on the road. I do know that Dave

226
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: Roberts wanted to let him go, right. He was good

227
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: with one hundred pitches or so. Today he didn't get there,

228
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 2: we'd have eighty nine and sixty of them good for strung.

229
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: So the game dictated when he came out. But this

230
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: guy is he's crazy good. I mean, you saw how

231
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: good his curveball was. The split is just dynamic again.

232
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: His sweeper that he's been throwing a lot of has

233
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: been good, and the fastball's got great spin and movement

234
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: on it. It's just it's hard to you know, it's

235
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: hard to bear a lot, and you know, for him,

236
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: this was a pretty good game. I'm sure he's probably

237
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: sitting after he finishes talking to the media. He's probably going, boy,

238
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: I could have done a lot better, because that's just

239
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: the way he is. He is about perfection. He's about

240
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: you know, and he's got two things to think about,

241
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 2: right like everybody else has one thing, But he's got

242
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: to think about his at bats too, and so he'll

243
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: be going over those later. I'm sure he'll be prepping

244
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: for better at bats as he gets ready for whatever

245
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: you Saturday, as we'll get ready for Monday's game. The

246
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: stat for Otani on games after he pitches, he hits

247
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: one forty seven, So that's the day after, but the

248
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: day after he pitches us off, So we'll see if

249
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: that applies on Monday or not.

250
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: The players extra rest for show. Hey Otani, and we

251
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: will see.

252
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: He is the best player we've seen, there's no question.

253
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, we're lucky to be living in the same era.

254
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: If you like baseball, you watch Otani play. There's nothing

255
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: he can't do, and it's just crazy to watch. And

256
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: we've both of us have seen baseball for a long

257
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: time and we've seen great players. We've seen him come

258
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: and go. We've seen Hall of famers play out great careers.

259
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: But I don't think I've ever seen anybody like Otani ever.

260
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 2: And I don't know if we'll see another one like him.

261
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: No, I don't think we will. I absolutely don't. He's

262
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's such a special, special, special player. He

263
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: doesn't ever seem like he gets fased. Much more to

264

291
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: is Monday, Blake Snell, Jesus Luzardo, let's speak about the

292
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: Hernandez brothers. Kiky Hernandez just have has a pensiant for

293
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the big moment, big lights, big stage, big deal, ta

294
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez and Dave and I. Dave and the media

295
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: have talked about it how Taoskar sometimes like regular season

296
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: much like net Costeans is like me, but in the

297
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: big moments, like it matters to him, Like you know,

298
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: it's you cannot get up for one hundred and sixty

299
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: two games a year. You just can't. It's just not

300
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: how it works. But the Hernandez brothers today tim once

301
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: again major dividends. What do you make of that?

302
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: Well, their average is so far in the postseason, Kik

303
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: is hitting four to seventeen, ta Oscar three fifty seven. Yeah,

304
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: it's three games, but Taska has also got three bombs too, right,

305
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: and Kik with two big RBIs in this one tonight

306
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: that was the one that lit the fire. It's funny,

307
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: you know, we watched tay Oscar a lot and he's

308
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: just sometimes you don't think he's gonna hit the ball

309
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: at all. Watch him. He'll chase a sweeper and a slider.

310
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: It's three feet outside, you're gonna he's never gonna hit

311
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: the ball, and the next pitch it's, you know, four

312
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: hundred and ten feet somewhere. It's just he's He's hard

313
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: to explain other than the fact that he does have

314
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: good at bats, even though some of them don't look

315
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: very good, but he ends up with a good at

316
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: battle like this one that he had with a three

317
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: run home run. It didn't start out great, but then

318
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, bang, he got the pitch toward

319
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: the outer half, and he's very good going the other way.

320
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: One of his two home runs in Game one of

321
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: the Wild Card Series was the right center also at

322
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. And then with Keik you know, we watch

323
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: him all year. His defense has always been good. I

324
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: can play anywhere. Wait, okay, you know, I'm glad we

325
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: don't have to use him on the mound anymore, but

326
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: everywhere else I'm fine with. Right, I asked the fact,

327
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: I asked Dave Roberts. When I think when Will got hurt?

328
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: Will?

329
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when Will got hurt. I asked him,

330
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: I said, who's your emergency catcher? I says, is a keyk?

331
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 2: He goes no. I said, well, who is it? He goes,

332
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: It's Alex Call. He caught in high school. And you know, nobody, nobody,

333
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: nobody knew that. I said, well, let's hope it doesn't

334
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: come down to that, and it never did, fortunately, But

335
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 2: in front of him would have been Miguel Rojas. Miguel

336
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: had volunteered. No surprise there. But you put k K

337
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: at third base, he makes great plays. You put him

338
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: in left field, he's going to make great plays because

339
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 2: of the fact that he hits this time of year.

340
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: He's a clutch player in October. He's already proven that.

341
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: Plus he can defend. That's why he's in left field,

342
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: and that's why he's on this playoff roster and he's

343
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: gonna play. I mean, I don't know how you can't

344
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: put him in the lineup. You just have to keep

345
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: him in the lineup every day. He does something, you know,

346
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 2: during the regular season, no, not all the time, come

347
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: up with a big hit every now and then, and

348
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: come up with a long home run every now and then.

349
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: But during the postseason again, there's just something about this

350
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: time of year that the switch flips and Key k Hernandez.

351
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: So Dan hunter who is a member of our chat,

352
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: and we appreciate everybody that's commenting on the chat right now.

353
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys being here on Dodgers territory. He

354
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: has a good point, and there was some speculation or

355
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: some consternation I should say about tay Oscar Hernandez in

356
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: the outfield with a non defensive play. Dan Hunters has agree,

357
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: but still mad about Tao's botch play in the outfield.

358
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? On J T rail

359
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: Muto's triple? Because JT that was obviously the first triple

360
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: of the postseason. It's Game one for the Phillies. I

361
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: get that, But J. T. Rail Muto is not a

362
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: triple guy. Okay, he had one triple in the regular season.

363
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: He's a catcher, and I mean, granted he's not the

364
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: slowest human on the planet, but he's not a triples guy.

365
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: So what do you make of that perceived botch play

366
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: by Tao in the outfield on JT real Muto's triple.

367
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: We Taskar only has one triple in this season too,

368
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: so maybe he doesn't know how to recognize it. I

369
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: can't repeat what I said when I saw it happen, but.

370
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: You can't. You're allowed to cuss on this show.

371
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: It's fine, it's it started with the word what. But

372
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: I was surprised at the angle he took. I think

373
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 2: that ball has to be cut off because it's going

374
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: to prevent at least one run there, and you're gonna

375
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 2: hold him to a double because of the of the

376
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: distance it traveled after he like, it's just sort of

377
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 2: like pulled up on the ball. I mean, you know,

378
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: Pie has had to go after it, and it bounced

379
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: off the wall and he didn't get it, you know,

380
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: clean off the either. So it gave real Butteau a

381
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 2: chance to get to third base. Two runs come in

382
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: and now it's two nothing at that point in time.

383
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: Fortunately at the end of the day, and in baseball,

384
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: it's one of those sports where at the end of

385
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: the day you look back and go, Okay, we got

386
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: away with it. It happened. He's aware of it, everybody's

387
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 2: aware of it. Don't let it happen again. We're up

388
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: one nothing, so that's kind of the main thing. But yeah,

389
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: I think that you know, you got to knock that

390
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: ball down somehow. But I'm glad that he didn't come

391
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: out of the game early for defense, but he sometimes

392
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: he did late in games. I'm glad he was still

393
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: at the plate in the seventh inning.

394
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting too because despite that defensive play,

395
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: however you want to look at it. I am also

396
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: going to say it, I agree with some of the

397
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: folks in our chat here Gilberto Castine that says I

398
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: don't care about those mistakes. He is the reason we won,

399
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly is the reason we won offensively, right,

400
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: So it's like, look at it like he's still the

401
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: player of the game. Bad defensive play, defensive misque, it

402
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: could go a variety of ways, but offensively, massive, massive

403
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: knock to win this game.

404
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: Rewind the tape to last ball. Okay, how did you

405
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 2: hit the ball? Then?

406
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

407
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: Did did he? Did he get to enjoy a parade?

408
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

409
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: He sure did.

410
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: He did.

411
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 2: So that's that's why he's back, because he's a big

412
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 2: October performer. He proved it last year. If you make

413
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: a defensive gas, you better be the guy that makes

414
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: up for it. He more than made up for that time.

415
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he absolutely atoned for it all right, looking ahead,

416
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: I think, okay, before we look ahead, and it seems obvious,

417
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: tim never you've covered this game a long time, and again,

418
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: super appreciate your insight here. Game one's massive. The statement

419
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: game in a five game series is massive, especially on

420
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: the road, my friend, especially at Citizens Bank Park. And

421
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: as much as I love Daughter Stadium and as much

422
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: as I love Dodgers fans, citizens Bank Park is no

423
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: flipping joke, and those fans are no joke, and that

424
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: park is loud, loud, loud. So to get Game one

425
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: after falling behind and having a come from behind when

426
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: I feel, is huge in your estimation. How big is

427
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: a game one win statement on the road.

428
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 2: Enormous, enormous If you're the road team, you're going into

429
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: a play and this isn't RUST right now. You look

430
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: at the RUST stats, and I know that Major League

431
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: Baseball's research department put out the stats this morning on

432
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 2: teams that had to buy, and you know they still

433
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: win a lot, okay, And in the Phillies they had

434
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: they do what everybody else does. They do simulated games.

435
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: They have scrimmages, they open them to the public. They

436
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 2: split up teams and do what you can to simulate games.

437
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: But the way they came out and played, they looked ready.

438
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: They looked like they were ready for Game one. They

439
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: had the right pitcher on the mound. These guys were

440
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: playing defense. Harrison Bader made the defensive play of the

441
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 2: game for the Phillies. You know, Bowe was really good

442
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 2: at third base on balls that are just smashed down there.

443
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: He did a good job. Right, So they were ready

444
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: to play. I thought, and for any visiting team in

445
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: a five game series to go on the road and

446
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: take game one, now you have home field advantage in

447
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: the next three correct. Okay, So so if now and

448
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: the way this schedule works, you got a day off.

449
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: This is crazy good for both teams. But it's good

450
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers too. Everybody's going to get an extra

451
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: day of rest to come out Monday night. They'll play

452
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 2: in prime time and if somehow, some way they can

453
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: take two, then they go back and they have home

454
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: field advantage for the remainder of the series with two

455
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 2: at Dodger Stadium, and in the chance they've got two

456
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: chance just to wrap up the series. So again, getting

457
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: game one, it couldn't be bigger. You know, it really

458
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: couldn't be bigger except for clinching the series. But you

459
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 2: get ahead game one, and you get ahead against a

460
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: team like the twenty twenty five Philadelphia Phillies and coming

461
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: from behind. You got to remember too, the Dodgers had

462
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: the second most come from behind wins in baseball, only

463
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: behind the Blue Jays this year. I think it was

464
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 2: forty six or so something like that off the top

465
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: of my head. So they're used to coming from behind.

466
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: They've done it a lot, and the game's just not over,

467
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: you know. I Mean people thought Yogi Berro was crazy

468
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: with all his sayings, but yeah, but when you're around

469
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: like can you really makes sense that getting that twenty

470
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 2: seventh out is huge, you know, and being able to

471
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: walk somebody off is huge too. So yeah, to answer

472
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: the question simply, this was an enormous win by the Dodgers.

473
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: But now they've got some time to put it aside

474
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: and get ready for Monday and have Blake Snell pitch.

475
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about money. So Blake Snell going up against

476
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: hauss Lozardo, I believe it's three lefties in a row

477
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: that they're going to run out there. The Philadelphia Phillies

478
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: are What do you think about that? Obviously Blake Snell

479
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I hated that he was on the shelf as long

480
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: as he was, but man, he looked unbelievable against Cincinnati.

481
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: Seven innings, four hits, two in in a rouns, one walk,

482
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: just nine k's. You love to see the swing and

483
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: miss lozardro This season two tim fifteen and seven to

484
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: three nine two Eira, he's been good as well. I

485
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: mean two hundred and sixteen k's and one hundred and

486
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: eighty three and two thirds of innings pitched. You love it,

487
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: you love to see it. This is what you want.

488
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: You want to beat the best and Philly is no joke.

489
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: So what do you like about this matchup? What does

490
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: Blake snell need to do in Game two on Monday.

491
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully he gets that curveball working the way that

492
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: it normally does. And you know, he was on the

493
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: shelf for a long period of time. The Dodgers were

494
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 2: not taking any chances with him because they needed him

495
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: for this time of the year, they needed him ready

496
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: for this time of the year. And when he came

497
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: back off the shelf, he just got better and better

498
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: and better and better. So you know his change up's

499
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 2: really good. His curve ball is really good, and uh,

500
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: you know it's it's I don't know, It's like you

501
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: can't wait for Monday, right, you know you just have

502
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 2: this happen now. You're like, come on, I play tomorrow,

503
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: Let's play tomorrow. No, no, you gotta wait till money,

504
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: because that's what TV says you have to do. But no,

505
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: I think smell is he's been just absolutely dynamite. And

506
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: another thing too to keep in mind, will will Smith

507
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: catch him or will Rotvett catch him? That's going to

508
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: be the question. He's had a lot of success with

509
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: rot Vett since he's been back. However, with another lefty.

510
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: Now got the lefty tonight, they won't the lefty right

511
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: Vett for a couple of you know times, right? Will

512
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: they do that again? It worked in game one? Maybe

513
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: they do it again in game two? Will catch as

514
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: the second half of the game, we'll see, we will see.

515
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 2: But what it does though with a lefty is the

516
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: Phillies end up changing the Dodger lineup, probably going to

517
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: have Alex call in there again. Probably going to have

518
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: you know, ky k starting at third then moving to

519
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: left once they get into the bullpen. You know you'll

520
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: have Freddie Freeman moving down in the order. So the

521
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: lefties that you'll have will be Otani, of course Freeman,

522
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: and then maybe Rotvet if he catches. Other than that

523
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 2: months he'll not start. And they want to keep Monsi's

524
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: bad out of there as much as they can. And

525
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 2: you know, Tommy Edmond can bat them, you know, from

526
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: the right side, so he's just going to hit right hand.

527
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: So that's one of the other things that the Phillies

528
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: have considered too when they have when they have, you know,

529
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: a lefty on the hill, is that the Dodger's not

530
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: going to put the lineup out the way they've had

531
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 2: it most of the year. So when did the Dodgers

532
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: start to score later in the game, and you know,

533
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: maybe they scored early. Every game is different. You don't know.

534
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: You could blow a team out one day and lose

535
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: one nothing the next We've all seen it. You just

536
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: never know. It's baseball. That's the beauty of the game

537
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: is you just never know what you're going to see

538
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: when you show up to the park. But as far

539
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 2: as you know what we'll see, my guess is we

540
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: may see the same exact starting lineup against the lefty LOZARDA.

541
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 2: We'll see. Now they'll dig into the analytics, they'll dig

542
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: into the matchups. I haven't done that. I have looked

543
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 2: into who does better against Lozardo than anybody else yet,

544
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: But we'll see. Now we got forty eight hours instead

545
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 2: of twenty four to worry about.

546
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be. This is the beauty of it.

547
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: It's like it's all fun and games because they won

548
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: Game one. I mean, if this was very this would

549
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: have been a very different conversation had the Dodgers lost

550
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Game one, you know, and then.

551
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: You're stressed out, that'll be falling.

552
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: It would be falling. We don't have to worry about that. Now.

553
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: This has been fun. Tim, thank you so much. Don't

00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: conversation too, from the other side of the series. Don't
