great day The Doug Gottlieb Show here on a Monday. Yeah,
we're gonna talk about Seattle and Jane Daniels Distill hitting
his elbow in a game that was gone shades of
RG three and what happened last night. But I'm going
to politely disagree with my radio producer in terms of
(01:11):
what we lead with. I'm sorry, I know it's a Monday.
It happened Saturday night, but that was everything about Saturday
night was amazing. What an unbelievable World Series game. Unbelievable,
unbelievable World Series game. It gave you so much. It
gave you so much. Ninth inning home run from a
(01:35):
defensive replacement who hadn't hit won in like over a month.
Bottom of the ninth inning, bases loaded and Will Smith
his toe comes off and then goes right back down
on the on home plate. And this after John Smoltz
epic foreshadowing talking about how hard it is to find
home plate when you're sliding, and then Pahz with a
(01:59):
catch he runs over Key k Hernandez to save the game.
And then the eleventh inning, Will Smith, who I didn't
even know, like again forgive me. I love baseball. I
do watch playoff baseball every year. Six World Series, six
World Series rings in a row for one guy. And
(02:20):
then the close out in the bottom of the eleventh
was equally spectacular with uh with with the is equally impressive,
Okay with the double play on the broken bat and
it's Mookie Betts, who he didn't hit well all series,
(02:44):
but he's not a short stop. Converted shortstop makes a
great play, steps on the bag, avoids hitting the runner
as he throws at the first and a double play.
What a game and Jason and Jason Soner wants me
to start with talking about the Seahawks beat and the
Comet and stop at Jason, Wow, it is your team,
(03:06):
it is your victory lab. When you think now about
Saturday night, what should America know about? What Fox Sports
Radio's biggest Dodger fan but also critical analyst thinks of Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Night about the game Game seven. It gave us everything
we wanted and you summed it up really nicely.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I think Game three still is going to hold a
special place in my heart. Game three was one of
the best experiences I've ever had. I went into the
weekend assuming that the bou Jays were going to get
to Yamamoto Ons on Friday night and close out the series,
and I was proven wrong, thankfully. H Yamamoto coming back
(03:52):
on zero day's rest to close out a World Series
after having one two World Series games over the previous
eight days. I don't know how you could tell me
that there has been a better performance, at the very
least by a pitcher in the postseason. I don't think
(04:13):
enough praise could be given to Yama Moto for that.
You could talk about Miguel Rojas in the last couple
of games. You could be critical of Dave Roberts for
sticking with pa Has too long in the first five games.
But Yama Moto basically Dave Roberts telling the entire baseball
world that he had zero faith in his relievers. And
(04:35):
I'm talking about your like situational relievers that craped the
bed the entire season and they didn't do anything to
address it. Going into the postseason. Dave Roberts kept throwing
us starters and starters after another in Game seven. I've
never seen anything like it. You're right, all those things
that you touched on THOT.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I thought he managed his ass off. I just do.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think we give it little too much credit. It's like,
when things work out, he's an exceptional manager. I mean,
but like that all work out, wort.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Why was Paston's centerfield? Why would he.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Put Pas in center field because they needed someone with
a because what's his name, Tommy Edmund's got like a
wet paper, wet newspaper for an arm. So he put
passestant center because they needed a throw at home plate
to get the ti in or go ahead run.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It was defensive replacement. Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yes, that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And and why was why did they make the switch
at second base? Same thing right now? He ends up
getting I mean, you end up getting a home run.
But the two biggest plays of the game for the
Dodgers in the bottom of the ninth inning were made
by his two defensive replacements. Again, I get, I I
understand where judging results and that process. But again I
(05:55):
and we're doing the same thing with pictures, and and
I would tell you that, yes, I mean, don't we
all agree with the idea that first starting pitchers are
paid more money because they're generally better than relievers. The
only question is can they get their motor going in
short order? And so many guys have started or played
college baseball where they come out of the pen or whatever.
(06:16):
But yeah, like, as a as a coach, when why
do I have to go to why do I have
to go to bullpen guys who aren't as good at
pitchers as my starters? And the bullpen guys haven't shown
themselves to be up to the challenge. Yeah. Again, I
thought it was. I thought it was. It was. Granted,
I am judging results, but I'm also trying to judge process,
(06:36):
and I thought his process was really good.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And just to be clear of Rojas was a he
wasn't a defensive replacement. Rojas got the start in Game
six because Paws couldn't hit and his Game five replacement
couldn't hit, so they move Edmund, who had been playing
a great second base all series. In fact, in game three,
I think Tommy Edmund was like a defensive hero and
he put Paw has in just to mix it up
(06:59):
a little bit, and the guy get hits a home run.
And by the way, that's one of the sub stories
of this. Yeah, I guess Miguel Rojas uh. His wife
told him was.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yes, yes, and she kept telling him you get hit
a home run and then before and he's like, what
are you talking about, Like, I haven't hit a home
run forever.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
He's he doesn't home runs.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I know. And it was a one hander on a slider. Amazing. Oh,
it was amazing. I'm as to tell you this, Like again,
we could talk about the NFL and Jane Daniels is hurt.
We can talk about the Packers playing down the level
of competition that costs themselves a game. And yet you
have a perfectly good kicker, but then McManis comes back
and you give him the job, and then McManus suddenly struggles. Like,
(07:41):
we go into all of those stuff and it's it's
all relatively interesting. But I mean, like, look, Game seven
was an epic game. Game three was an epic game,
and I would say that Game six was a pretty
epic game as well, especially considering the excitement and how
it ended. Is all this fair?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Jason mcguil Rojas was the hero of Game six with
just his glove. Alon't okay?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But my point though, is, are you okay saying three
of those games, three of the seven were Alzheimer's?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Absolutely? Drama wise?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh yeah, so we watched a seven game series where
three of them were all timers. You had, in many
people's conversation, the greatest single game performance by a hitter,
that being show Hey, going back to Game three, right,
and then you have Yamamoto, who I mean, like, look,
(08:35):
it's very similar to Madison Bumgardner. Right. Mad Bum had
that and mad Bum was a little bit was he
had to hit back then, and he was actually good
with the bat as well. So we've seen some of
mad Bum we've never seen show hey, and again, I
would have to I don't have the depth of baseball
knowledge in terms of a series, but what we got
(08:56):
was as good of a baseball series as you pop
Sibilly can get three all time games, including the last
two being absolute knock down dragonmounts Monci. You have a
(09:17):
Dodgers podcast, Okay, Yeah, And Jason was convinced when it
went back to Toronto it was over in game six.
Where were you in terms of your level of belief
that they could win this thing.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I'm definitely not on the same It was over mentality,
but I understood it because after the eighteenth inning game,
which I was at till the very end, it was
very uninspiring to see the Dodgers come out looking so flat,
while Toronto seemed unbothered by an eighteen inning game. Now,
(09:53):
Toronto also did take out most of their players way
before the Dodgers in that eighteenth inning game.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
VLADIMIRG.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Gerrea Junior was the only one that played the whole thing,
and so they just seemed refreshed and we seemed flat.
So naturally I didn't like the feeling of going back
to Toronto down in two games when the excitement was
gonna be just probably like Game one in Toronto that
they hadn't experienced. So I didn't like it. But I
wasn't like it's over. I was like, no, it's anything
(10:19):
can happen. And once the eighteenth thinning game happened, I
felt like everything went out the window, like the logic
went out the window. Anything you thought before this year
he started, it's gone. This is just when eighteen innings
the plan, they're now on plan F you know what
I mean. So I thought anything can still happen. And
it wasn't like Vladimirica Railroad Junior was killing it against
us the way he killed the Yankees single handedly. There
(10:41):
was hope, and we had Yamamoto and I just I
had hope.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
But it was it was it was hard.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
It was hard after those two losses, after the eighteenth
thinning game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Uh, Sammy, you're like me, You're I'm I'm less than neutral, right.
The Dodgers are my son's favorite team. I am a
quasi Dodger fan angels are my team, but I was
definitely rooting for the Dodgers. You're more neutral.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I was ready for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Dodgers, but we're all we're all watching texting on Saturday.
Jason is just He's just on one. Every you know,
he's out the announcers, the umpiring everything. Jason's just on one.
What was your experience like watching Saturay Night.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I mean this, I think that some Dodger fans would
feel that this World series compared to last year, is
even sweeter, just because it was more of a battle.
I know, last year made up for sort of like
the oh, we have to win, like a real one
in front of fans, you know, outside of twenty twenty.
This one felt like such a battle. Last year, it
was so much hype for Yankees Dodgers, and it was
(11:48):
a dud. It was over in five and this one
was It was like an all timer to go back
to back in that style, and I think Dodger fans
are gonna I mean, this is this is this as
sweet as it gets.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So it was. It was fun to watch.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It was very stressful Friday and Saturday night the whole
the whole series was stressful, outside of the couple of
games where the Blue Jays kind of pulled away and
won convincingly.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But I mean from.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
After that eighteen inning game, I was like, this kind
of feels like like twenty eighteen, like it could go
like ever, like they just they wouldn't win another game
after that. But man, when they were down three to
two in the series, it did feel like it was over.
I was more with Jason and then just to watch
them when those two in Toronto would.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So could have started on Rob Parker. Unbelievable. I mean,
I've believing in it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You can you can get it on Rob Parker there,
uh is what he is, Doug.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I've been living here for ten years. We'll go back
to Rob.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I've been living here for ten years, and I've gotten
to see them win three World Series in six years
and get to see them play in one, two, three, how.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Many World Series since twenty seventeen five?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yep five? So that's I mean, that's a pretty good
run for someone who moved.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Here from Iowa.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
To see them be so good in baseball that have
the Dodgers win this much has been incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
The Japanese players are just wired differently. Man, They're so good.
I just I love Yamamoto's whole mentality. It reminded me
the World Baseball Classic that they won, Jay Stu, what
were you gonna say about Rob? So? Rob? When we
last joined Rob Parker, he was saying the series was over?
Is that what people are dragging him over?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
More specifically, the Dodgers are cooked, the Dodgers. Dodgers will
not be able to fight back. That this game is
the series is over. And we were all interested to
see how he would react, if he would take back
his words, but no, he's been He still thinks that
Toronto very much gave it away, that this was a
(13:43):
fortunate thing for the Dodgers to have happened to them,
And to that point, I'm going to disagree with Rob.
With Rob, you never know kind of where the BA
starts and where the seriousness begins. I have no idea
what game he's playing here with Dodger fans or not,
or if he serious. But they were not cooked. They
showed fight, and I'm proud of them.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah I would. I mean, I don't know where the
BS starts, but it's but the one, the one thing
that is consistent about Rob is, I don't know anybody
he actually gives credit for winning games. You know, he's
called Tom Brady the luckiest of all time. He said,
Bill Belichick's a phony. So I don't know who is
(14:27):
responsible who actually gets credit for New England winning six
Super Bowls? Similarly, the Dodgers. Again, how many times do
you have to win before you actually get credit? So
I don't I can't concern myself with with Rob in
that in the way that Dodger fans do. But I
think that people who give him attention, you're just doing
(14:47):
him a favor because that's clearly the logic behind it,
and it works.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That guy that Caleb Joseph, who's the former Major league
catcher and TSN analyst who's just getting killed by Dodger
fans and Keik a Hernan has elevated his his take
this weekend, so it got everyone more pissed off, Like,
I will agree with this guy. He was the one
who basically said that the Dodgers were not the better
team in this series. I would say, if you go
(15:12):
numbers next to numbers, the Blue Jays were the better
team in this series. The Dodgers just made one more
play than they did at the end, right yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Can can Caleb and Rob kind of be right in that?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Like I felt that the Dodgers sort of picked the
blue Jays pockets, Like the blue Jays had their chance
and the Dodgers are just right there to sort of
I agree with that, I would agree.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But also like if you remember, like who is who
touched home play but was like a fraction of second
late Heiner filefa Yeah, I mean why didn't he run
through home play? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
There was that, they asked him that.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
And also like his leadoff off the third base was
not as big as lead off as and.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
He's like, listen, they're base running cost him the end
of game six?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And winning right yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
And is that a case of like been there, Dodgers
have been there, done that, blue Jays are maybe the
ones coming.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
In again again? I I don't know me Again, it's
a very logical statement, but that does take away from
the idea that they were the better team. The better
team does make those plays, so I mean again, I
I just let's let's we don't need to get into
being critical of people who are critical or whatever. I
just like I woke up with a what I call
(16:23):
a sports high where I invested a lot of time
into watching a supporting event that I can't Honestly, I
did get emotionally tied to wanting the Dodgers to win,
just because I'm I grow so tired of everyone who
doesn't ever visit Southern California tell me how bad Southern
California is when every time I'm in Southern California, I'm like,
(16:45):
I love it here, Like it's awesome. What you know?
I mean, yes, skid Row's bad. I don't live in
skid Row, and nobody I don't know does, right, That's like, okay,
there's a whole other big city out there. But anyway,
that's not the point. The point is I woke up going, damn,
I just watched one of the best sporting events in
my life, and I got to watch two Friday night,
(17:07):
Like Friday was Halloween, right, and like, you know, you're
sitting there and what is sports supposed to do? This
is a big thing. What is sports supposed to do?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Transport you away? Yeah, take you away from reality?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Correct? Okay, So again, I'm not looking for anybody's sympathy.
I have a great life, great but it's it's Halloween night,
and I got my dogs and I got a TV.
My neighborhood there's like one family with kids. I lived
three doors down outside that no one came by, you know.
(17:41):
I got daughters in college, my sons, and I don't
have anybody around for Halloween, Like I love Halloween, and
I got I don't have any ability to go to
a Halloween party. I'm just sitting at home. So I'm like,
I'm gonna watch this game. And I got rewarded with
a great watch. And then it's Saturday night. Now I
got football and I got the multiview and I'm watching
the SC game there when Nebraska and I got this
(18:01):
whole day and we're prepping and we're leaving the next
day for Kansas, and I'm like, you know what, I'm
gonna lock in and just enjoy Game seven, and it's
three to one. I'm like, is this really how the
baseball season is gonna end? And then all of a sudden,
they put a couple together and it just becomes the
most incredible game, the most incredible ending with so many
(18:21):
twists and turns. You had the ground rule double in
Game six, which which definitely changed the ending of that one,
you have the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth,
the infield being in, and then the play by Paez
where he runs over key K and KEYK is trying
to do a Willie Mays catch because it looked like
you might have been a little out of position.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
He catch that.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, you're not gonna catch that.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I don't know what he was thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But I mean, the whole thing was so great.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
And makes so many awesome plays throughout the series too.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I am convinced that Key K Hernandez does not play
regular season baseball anytime it's played. He only plays in
the playoffs for the Dodger. He's so clo and he's
like in the big plays, I don't even right, like
in the big plays. I'm convinced of it. I just
maybe this is a message of gratitude, or it's congrats
to Jay Stu, or just it's what I love about sports.
(19:14):
Is that again? For those probably five or six hours
each night that I'm watching baseball, I even watched the
pregame show on Saturday. I hate pregame shows and I
used to be part of pregame shows, especially that pregame show.
It was terrible, terrible, because they're just talking about stuff
(19:35):
that again, it's like all prediction stuff, which is just
a waste of time, instead of having some of the
best players in baseball teach me about different guys. Teach
me how black Garreau is this incredible hitter that's been
even better than the playoffs in the regular season. Show
me what they're doing to show Hey, Hotel anyway, I
watched pregame show. I loved every second of that game,
(19:56):
every second. It was so good. So I'm not telling
you that football is not a more popular sport. I'm
not telling you that we don't have more things to
get to. Tucker Craft hearing his acl, jayde and Daniels dislocating.
All those things are important, and we got plenty of
time to talk about football, but baseball. Take yourself a bow.
What a weekend for the sport.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
This is the best of the Don dot Leaf Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Hey, what up with you? Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio,
I URT Radio app. Welcome in. We're in Lawrence, Kansas today.
Why you ask? First day at college basketball season and
my Green Bay Phoenix are going to take on the
Kansas Jayhawks. So we'll get to love and hate in
(20:48):
a moment we got Tom Telesco joined this hour. We
still want to talk more of this about the World
Series and what an incredible Game seven. Game six was
amazing too. But this is year two for me, and
obviously we've adjusted a lot of things and kind of
understanding the two jobs and how it works, and trying
to help my guys in LA because because they they
(21:09):
sometimes don't know what's going on with when we're on
the road. But I'm really excited, really excited for both
year two of doing the radio show while coaching basketball
and year two of coaching college basketball. But it's interesting,
you know, like you stop and it's really important that
and people say it all the time. I mean to
(21:29):
stop and smell the roses and think about things. I
just you get these surreal moments, right with all these
things that collide in your life. I grew up watching
Kansas play like everybody in southern California. I mean, you're
we watched Big East basketball and then Kansas had a
point guard named Jock Vaughan who was from LA. They
(21:51):
always had an LA player or two that Roy Williams
has come on coach now, Jock Vaughn is part of
the other sidelines who's coached by Bill Self, who's not
only a Hall of Famer, but Bill's Oklahoma State a lum,
former Oklahoma State point guard, and he was a guy
that when I finished playing, I actually wrote him a
letter asking him, Hey, when I stopped playing, I'd love
to I'd always love to work for you. And then
I end up getting a job at ESPN, and the
(22:12):
rest kind of took care of itself, and now you
get to coach. Like I was standing there at shoot around, guys,
and I tried to describe it to our supporters as
the Lambeau of basketball. Right. It's that. It's just it's
so pristine in it's look and feel that you could
(22:33):
walk in and say it's if you said it's the
nineteen sixties. Everybody now their idea, Yeah, feels like nineteen sixties.
Write the new video, huge video board for the scoreboard.
But other than that, it looks the same as it
looked previously. But just that surreal moment of you know,
right before tip, looking down the sidelines and seeing Bill self,
you know, arguably the greatest coach of the modern era basketball,
(22:53):
six national championship banners. You know, they have the rules
of the sport in the building. I don't know. It's
it's gonna be a cool moment, really really cool moment.
There's been a lot of cool ones. This one's right
up there. And then you know people, I had somebody
ask me, Jase too, what are you gonna tell your team?
(23:16):
And I'll tell you right now. I'm gonna tell me, Hey,
you've got a chance to author the greatest Opening Night
story in the history of the support. Right now, nobody
cares that. Are you know that the lead Nations lead
score broke his ankle, or all the injuries or things
that we walked into, or academic probation. Nobody cares about that.
They just hey, we I took over a team a
(23:38):
little bit late in the cycle and we had a
rough year and a lot of people like to dog
pylon because I guess that brings them joy. Good for them,
But for me, I learned a lot and you know, I,
like any basketball coach, will honestly tell you, we don't
really know what we have just yet. I think we
(23:59):
could be pretty good, but it's gonna take a minute
because guys are still figuring out the level. But I
do know that If we win this game, it's all
anybody's can talk about. Right.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I'm really happy for you, Doug. I'm very very happy
for you. This is awesome. You know, behind the scenes,
we tried to get the show there didn't quite work
out logistically. I was able to experience your first game
last year, a year ago, and still water would love
to be in warrance today. But I do have a question.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yep, there's a question.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
The niece an answer, and the answer is if only
there was someone with the authority and the wisdom to
give us that answer.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
No, I'm the head coach. I get to set the schedule.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Hold on, let's ask the coach.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So, Doug, you have a really different roster than a
one that took the court last year. Could you give
me a couple of names that we should look for
tonight as we watch the Phoenix try to do the
impossible overcome a thirty point underdog difference against Kansas tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Look, there's some names that people are going to talk about.
Remel Bethea's a name people are going to talk about.
He's twenty nine, he's a sophomore. He was in the Navy.
He didn't play basketball growing up, I have no idea
how he's going to react to tonight, right, I mean,
like Legit has probably never played in front of more
than a couple of hundred people, and now he's going
to go against Florrie Badunga, who is an absolute freak
(25:25):
of an athlete who's a bigger, stronger, younger version of
what he does dunk blockshots role and I loved. So
I'm excited for Ramel to experience this, to experience it.
We have Lebron Thomas. Yes, that's right, I have a
player named Lebron on my team. There's a lot of
irony to it, I know me. Yes, he was a
(25:46):
first team Junior College All American point guard y and
it'll be a lot it'll be a challenge for him, right,
This is a higher level, very different, But I'm really
excited to see what he does because he's not perfect player,
but he's a really competitive kid who's won a ton
of games at junior college and I'm excited to see
how he competes. So those would be the first two,
(26:07):
and then Marcus Hall, who's my best returning player, and
you know last year is one of those while we're losing,
you're trying to fill your kids full of confidence, to
make them believe, hey, it's not them, it's you, and
you'll be you'll put a better team around him next year.
Marcus Hall is going to have a great year and
he is an awesome human being to to coach in
(26:29):
his career. So those would be the three first names.
Ramel Bethea who's six' nine with a seven to four.
Wingspan Lebron thomas who's six three hundred and ninety five,
pounds and he's the opposite Of lebron in that he's
right handed in real life and left handed as a basketball.
Player Was lebron's you, know the ib was a left
handed in real life and right handed basketball. Player and
(26:50):
Then Marcus, hall who's From, Schofield. Wisconsin there you, go.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Hey Coach Sam kinsley here from The Davenport, Press Davenport
Free Times. Press so just listen ten ten minutes into the,
game first, Half all, RIGHT i should say first half
of the first, half maybe first half of the.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Game first twenty.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Minutes are you are you like looking at a department
of your team, rebounding, scoring you, know three point shooting
that you're maybe worried, About like what do you want to.
See you're, like there's some department that you're like, this
this could be a soft spot for, us a week.
Spot we need to test it out against these very
Talented Kansas.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Jayhawks, WELL i, mean look last, year, obviously rebounding was
a huge issue with, us and just overall. Toughness we
felt like we'd get them there and then we get
pushed around and fall apart some in the second. Half so, rebounding, defense,
toughness and they're. Young they Have Darren peterson who's gonna
be the number one overall, pick and he's an incredible shooter.
(27:47):
Scorer the rest of their young ones haven't made shots
yet in their exhibition. GAMES i think they're a better
shooting team than the. Numbers usually it takes guys a
couple of games to settle. Down so we want to
see what you. WANT i want to see is are
you trying to do what we've been coaching you on
doing and will you compete against, bigger more athletic guys
(28:09):
in a hostile. Environment that's, It that's really. It are
you gonna try and do what we want or you
can try and do your own, thing and then are
you gonna compete because you're gonna get pushed, around you're
gonna get a non foul, Call you're gonna make a.
Mistake are you gonna compete or are you gonna sulk
and pout or or get kind of intimidated by the.
Atmosphere one thing here before we get to. MONTHS i
know you have a. QUESTION i do want to be
(28:30):
critical of essentially every paper or online site who has
done an article on this. Game and this is you
The Kansas City, star and there's other there's Other topeka
newspapers and. Whatever no one has. Call all they do
is aggregate quotes from Like Media day or some other.
(28:51):
Article is it that hard to ask to come to
shoot around and ask a, question or call me and
ask a. Question it's. Crazy it's not about me or
About Green bay or our. Story but we're getting ready
to Play kansas And bill self And Darren. Peterson you
want to get a quote from the opposing coach who
can give you a pretty good. Quote but, NO i
guess again To Jay stew's, lament this is media in
(29:14):
twenty twenty five where people want to just aggregate a
quote and use it for their own. Story you, know
it's like Coach prime, SAYS i ain't hard to. Find
what do you got? There? Months? All?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Right in your second, year is there some different approach
that you are going to take you yourself as a,
coach something that maybe you did last year that this
year you want to approach it?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Differently, yes we. Do we commit TO defensei vitamins every,
day defense and rebounding every. Day, okay, weird that is
not what happened last year is not going to happen
on my, watch which is we JUST i did not
think we were nearly as good, defensively and we played
people more based upon trying to find mismatches than playing
(29:56):
who are what's the best defensive? Lineup we have start
there every? Game you, know it's like what you do
is you do like a self, audit, right you go
back through. Things and WHEN i went, back what loses you?
Games it doesn't matter if you play fast or. Slow
it doesn't matter what offense you, run what defense you
run is? Okay what is who wins the turnover? Battle
(30:18):
who wins the rebounding? Battle and then it's after that
it's quality of shot and can you defend three point?
Line so those are the things that we focused on
and then the rest we can kind of build. Out so,
yeah the approach is very very To my staff is.
DIFFERENT i have three new assistant, COACHES i have ten new.
Players there's a different kind of. Energy it's a different
(30:40):
sort of guy where they're older and they're they're a
little bit more, stubborn a little bit slower, learner but
tougher and a little bit. Withered So i'm interested to
see how much the approach helps. Us and then the
last part month, Says i'm a super competitive. Guy you
get into games and you're, like, well it's just you
can win every. Game you do have to keep in,
(31:01):
mind you have to continue to develop players playing the long,
game you, know the games that really. Matter we play
three league games In december and the rest start After january,
First so those are the games that we need to
build up. For and there's some of our players that
aren't going to be great, tonight but we think can
be really helpful once we get.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
THERE i don't know anything about college, basketball BUT i
THINK i could tell you a fact about. Tonight those
Five kansas players that take the court to begin the
game are all self.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Starters very.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Good oh you know what he just? Did there he did.
Alliteration that's that's one of his favorite. Things let's get
to love and, hate shall? We what we love from the,
weekend what we hate from the.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Weekend let's go To, GOD i love you and what
did you?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Hate meet these?
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Player is?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Love love love love love love hate hate hate hate.
Hate Jay stu starts off what you love from.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
The this is the best part about your favorite baseball
team winning is that your, offspring your, child is a
much bigger fan than. Mine so for those listeners who don't,
KNOW i have a fully grown adult child Named, jacob
AND i have never met a Bigger dodger. Fan so
(32:20):
on My instagram right. NOW i just posted it At
Jason Stewart. Sports the happiest part of my. Weekend WHAT
i loved most was sharing in the, joy the, emotion
and the tears with my son as The dodgers brought
home another. Championship Because jacob is like an actual normal.
Fan he's not like, Me he's not negative LIKE i
(32:42):
am mfing this team for seven, games And jacob's, like
why you gotta be so? Negative why can't we? Win
and you, know he's just one of those. Fans so
when they actually. Win it's just, pure unadultraated emotion and.
Elation by far the biggest happiest part on my. Weekend
AND i loved. HIM i love, HIM i love, YOU
(33:04):
i love all of our, listeners AND i love The.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Dodgers months months of, WEEKEND i Knew jason would definitely
take The dodgers, winning and OBVIOUSLY i love.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That of COURSE i.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Did it was such a great. Series we've talked about,
that But i'm not gonna. LIE i also really love
That Kawhi leonard hit a game winner On friday night
against The. Pelicans he has another game. Winner it's just
like it's unfair that some players who are great don't get.
Those and Here's Kawhi leonard just constantly hitting game. Winners
AND i know he's injured half the, time And i'm
a very Emotional clippers, fan but at least he gives
(33:41):
me these little highs throughout the season that keep me.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Afloat Uh, So i'm so.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Glad AND i also dressed up As Philly, karen AND
i THINK i did a great job AND i love
THAT i.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Saw it was really. Good thank you so, Much thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
So, Much, Philly.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Philly, Well i'm taking a bit of sloppy seconds. Here
Maybe i'm just signing on What jason was talking, about
endorsing what he was talking, about because as a transplant
me coming here From iowa To Los angeles In december
of twenty, FIFTEEN i got to listen to a little
bit Of Vin scully in his last year before he.
Retired i've been to Playoff i've been to a playoff
(34:15):
game At Dodger stadium when that they, lost, unfortunately And
i've been to regular season games At Dodger. STADIUM i
can tell you this. Much Dodger baseball is the real.
Deal the fans are the real. Deal and if you're
someone who moves out, here you become absorbed by The.
Dodgers it is easy to be A dodgers, fan especially
SINCE i moved. Here they've been WINNING Nl west titles
(34:35):
since what twenty.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Fourteen that's the second time you've said. That do you
think they are winning because you moved.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
HERE i think.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
The ownership, change you, know catapulted them into contender. Status
MAYBE i had something to do with, it probably, not but,
LISTEN i moved here at a great time When dodger
baseball has never been hotter and it's IT'S i grew
up A phillies fan In, iowa and then you, know
people love The, cubs The, cardinals AND i. Will but
there's something about being you're From Los angeles and you're
(35:04):
A dodgers. Fan it's so it's so. Pure and again
it's easy to be A dodgers fan because they win a.
Lot so that being, SAID i think that this second,
one LIKE i said in the first, segment in the first,
segment this second one of the back to back is
sweeter because of how much of a struggle it, was
the battle against The Blue jays who were ready for the.
Fight i'll take, listen it's, Okay i'm gonna endorse What jason.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Said this was an incredible sports.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Weekend this was a lot Of dodger fans thought this
series was, lost but also a lot of them kept the,
hope kept the, faith and it paid. Off they won
in seven in one most epic world series of all.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Time i'm Again i'm okay SAYING i loved it AND
i loved every minute of. It and the coolest part,
is you, know to those of us who, remembers was
it city, slickers you know where where they talked about
baseball and what it means to. You my son doesn't
(35:58):
play baseball, anymore but from the time he was probably
three or four years, old we played catch five days
in a, week sometimes seven days in a, week and
multiple times in a. DAY i coached, him you, know
growing up in. Baseball he's a left handed. Pitcher and
(36:20):
so When i'm watching the game and we start texting
back and forth about the, game and he didn't. Go
it was like A saturday. Night his buddies are going,
out and he's just, LIKE i, go what are you?
Doing who you? With by myself That i'm watching this.
Game it's. Awesome so we're texting back and forth all
(36:42):
this funny, stuff AND i Just i'm thankful for, baseball.
Man it's so. Great and it reinvigorated all the. Memories
the eighty Eight World, series you, know Where gibson hit
the home. RUN i went To game. TWO i took
my son The game one when they lost to The
Red sox in The World. SERIES i remember THE Covid World,
series WHICH i actually, liked AND i liked because everybody
(37:05):
we're still everybody's still, home you, Know AND i remember
you a trick or treating In Newport beach and everybody's
got The dodger game on during The World, series just
all the good memories and then you get you get

the weekend that actually got some. Traction it's still in the.
Algorithm i'm still getting reaction to, it a lot of.
Engagement and you, know On, twitter, dog the normal thing
is you put something out, there unless You're, monsei if
you're an attractive, female it's a different. Experience but if
(37:48):
you're just, me a fifty two year old white, man
you throw out, something half the people call you fat and,
ugly and the other half actually agree with what you.
Say this was like ninety for ninety five. Percent if
there's if there is like one thousand comments under my,
tweet ninety five percent of agree with. This why are they?
(38:09):
Doing in game, Interviews rosenthal And verducci were embarrassing. Themselves,
no they have no. Awareness first of, all they can't
read the. Room they're compelled to do these canned in
question interviews and the game is going on in the
background while it's. Happening, literally there were things in important
games going, on and the, Manager John schneider actually apologized
(38:31):
To Ken rosenthal for not being able to do the
interview because he had to do his freaking. Job get
rid of the in game interviews in important. Games save
them for The All star games or regular season, games
but not games six and seven of The World.

one thirty three points to come back and beat The.
Giants we saw what The bills did against The, ravens

myself in a predicament BECAUSE i was, like, No Jaden
(39:29):

Speaker 6 (42:50):
Hey Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the nation. Yet catch all of our shows At
fox sports radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
App It's Doug Gotleep Show Fox Sports. Radio i'll play for.
YOU a little later on the, show Dan quinn's answer
to Why Jane daniels was in the game when they're
getting blown out in the fourth. Quarter Matt holliday's gonna
join us in about a minute a. Half, first so
let me get you to Montcy bolano's for an. Update
months it's The Doug Gottlieb show here On Fox Sports.
(43:21):
Radio he's won A world. Series he's so he's and
and one one of the most epic world series when
he was with The Saint Louis cardinals and they beat
The Texas. Rangers David, freese the hero of THE. Mvp
SO i GUESS i just want to. Know Matt holliday
joins us now on The Doug Gottlieb show On Fox Sports.
Radio how would that series it just, concluded compared to
(43:43):
the one that you guys won with The cardinals over The.
Speaker 8 (43:46):
Rangers, WELL i think they certainly both go down as
two of the Great world series of all. Time anytime
you go down to A game, SEVEN i think most
of the you, know the high intensity drama of games
six will be, remembered uh for for the one we
won as opposed to all the drama that went down
(44:08):
In game. Seven you know this year so. Too two
legendary world series is BUT i, think you, know obviously
when you're talking about A game seven and all the
back and forth and then, uh for a guy that
Pitched game six to come back and close Out game,
seven uh and two plus, innings, uh certainly. Adds you,
(44:32):
KNOW i think a legend that that maybe we haven't
ever seen so great world? Series great for, baseball you,
KNOW i think it's, uh it's a it's interesting because
you can you can nitpick and look at all the
little things when it comes down to a one run
game and an extra inning uh. Situation you, know you
(44:53):
start talking about all the little things that could have
gone the other way that would allow The Blue days
to win The World, series and then you know everything
that you know The dodgers did so, uh it's it.
Was it was a fascinating series and and a lot
of a lot of a lot of little. Things matt
added up.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
A lot of little. Things, okay so let's get to
those little. Things let's get to those little. Things where
do you? Be where do you? Begin BECAUSE i think the,
layman the non baseball, SAVANT i would consider you a baseball.
Savant the non baseball savant wants to pick, apart you,
know bottom of the ninth inning or even you go
(45:31):
back to when the Blue jays got doubled. Up let's
let's go To game, six when the Blue jays get
doubled up on that short, uh that short pop up
to left? Center was that a base running error that
Ended game? Six?
Speaker 8 (45:50):
YEAH i mean. Yeah BUT i think the thing that
THAT i think maybe caught the base runner off guard
was how Shallow hernandez was, playing which ironically almost cost
him The World series if it wasn't For pahes running
over and catching the ball over his. Head you, know
(46:10):
they're at the. END i think as a base, runner
you check the outfielders and you have to know where they're.
Playing and, me you, know in watching the game WHERE
i can't see the outfielders off the, BAT i thought
the ball was down as, well and then here comes you,
know keyk to make the, catch and then you know
the guy makes a great play to pick an in
(46:33):
between hop at. Second but you, KNOW i think the
thing with the base runner is is you have to
know where your outfielders. Are and you, know he didn't
even have to die he caught it running, in SO I, i,
YES i think that that was a base running. Mistake
but you, know K k was playing shut. Up maybe you,
(46:55):
know before the pitch he took a few steps. IN
i don't know. Exactly you, know i'd have, to you,
know maybe try to see the overhead if he if
he was able to somehow maybe maybe not even intentionally
trick the runner by pre pre, pitch you, know because
you're taught at the base runner to check the outfielders
and then take your lead and and then you, know
(47:17):
you you take your secondary and react to the, ball
and the, ball LIKE i, said seemingly was going to get,
down takes one extra step and it cost. Him so,
YEAH i think overall you'd have to say that that's
the base running. Mistake but you, know in that, situation
he was very very.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
Shallow Stut Gottlieb show here On Fox Sports. Radio, okay
speaking of second secondary, lead what do you make of
what happened bottom of the ninth. Inning you Got connor
uh at what third base and he GETS i mean
misses by milliseconds right and stepping on. Home but should
(47:59):
there have been a bigger, lead you, know bigger secondary,
lead and should he have run through the base instead
of slidden slid sliden slid slidden.
Speaker 8 (48:07):
Home, YEAH i, mean, LOOK i think that, Yes and in,
hindsight he probably should have had a little, better bigger secondary.
Lead makes you wonder if the way the game winded
the night, before maybe in the back of his, mind
or maybe in the back of the coach's mind that
coaching third base is that, you, hey don't get too
(48:29):
far off in case there's a you, know a line
drive towards third that would double you. Off, YES i
think he should have had a larger. Lead it also
was a left handed, hitter which gives the catcher a
clearer path to try to pick off a runner at
third if you get too big of a lead or
(48:52):
a secondary. Lead but, uh it is interesting to think
about that even if it was one one foot bigger
on the on the, second would he have been saying
certainly would have Made rojas rush to throw more if
he if he'd have had a better, jump better read,
better better secondary. Lead but, YEAH i, mean, yeah another
(49:15):
one where you, go, golly you know they could have
if he's one further off the, base they win The
World series and you're celebrating In toronto today instead Of
La but, yeah that's. Baseball there's just so many little
things that add. Up but it certainly makes me me
think that the night before could have certainly had an
impact on his secondary.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
Stug gottlieb sho here On Fox sportray that's Always' Matt
holiday's a seven Time All. Star he's joined us throughout
the baseball. Season good friend of the, program friend, personally
and just kind of looking back through what was just
an Epic World series with Incredible game, six Incredible game.
Seven what what you do for a living and for
fun is swings in? Baseball explain to me how who's
(50:00):
not a prodigious home run hitter hits a one hands
the ball out of the park in the top of
the ninth inning with with Show. Hey it was a, slider, right,
like how do you do? It?
Speaker 8 (50:15):
YEAH i MEAN i think that that was the PITCH
i think he had. HELD i think that might have
been his only home run off of the right hand
pitch of the whole. Season it's one of those, Things
doug WHERE i THINK i think with Show hey on,
Deck hoffman was really just trying to throw a strike
with the, slider and sometimes when you when you kind
(50:37):
of take a little off where you're just trying to
trying to make sure that it's a. Strike it looked
like it backed up towards the, hitter so it kind
of spun in closer to, him and he found the,
barrel and and you, know he's a major league, player
and if you find the, barrel and slider spend to
(51:00):
carry further than fastballs or for you, know breaking balls to.
Spin if you if you hit him properly and you,
know redirect the, spin they have more. Carry so bad
bad breaking ball too close to a hitter that doesn't
hit home. Runs the only pitch he probably could have
(51:20):
hit out right there is a is a breaking ball
close to, him and and kind of a perfect storm
of events where you, know it backed, up he caught
it on the, barrel caught it out, front hit it
to the, perfect perfect part of the, park and you,
know you got you got a tie. Game so it was,
unlikely to say the, least but it looked like he
(51:44):
aims that slider a little. BIT i, think you, know in,
hindsight again we're talking about, baseball so you can always second,
guess BUT i think a fastball away to a hitter
like that is is always the safest.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Pitch it's easy with hindsight to shit. Back. Go, Hey
Dave roberts tailed it using starters instead of. Relievers they're
in the in the late extra. Innings, Obviously yamamoto in the,
moment did you think that was the right.
Speaker 8 (52:10):
Decision, well, Look i'm always a little surprised when you
bring a guy back the pitch the day. BEFORE i,
mean he threw close to one hundred pitches the night
before and as and then you, know you bring him
back on zero day's. Rest it's, REALLY i, think kind
of ironic when you think, about you, know the way
(52:35):
that The dodgers leaned on their bullpen so much last,
year and then they almost fulely leaned on their starters this.
Year so it's like almost reverse of the way that
they won The World series from this year to last
year was so heavily bullpen couldn't wait to get their
(52:56):
starters out of the. Game this, year they they want
nothing to do with any of their, relievers and they're you,
know recycling, starters and you, know putting in a guy
that pitched the previous. DAY i think is is quite.
Ironic but, YEAH i MEAN i think at the, TIME
(53:18):
i was just a little, surprised uh that that he
was even. AVAILABLE i, mean typically when a guy throws
a hundred pitches the next day doesn't even puts fleets.
On AND i know It's game seven of The World
series and all hands on deck is the is the big,
tagline but that typically doesn't include the guy that threw
a hundred pitches the night. Before SO i was a little.
(53:41):
Surprised and he was, awesome and he found.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
IT i found out a way to get out of. It,
matt your sport was awesome this, year especially at the.

great day The Doug Gottlieb Show here on a Monday. Yeah,
we're gonna talk about Seattle and Jane Daniels Distill hitting
his elbow in a game that was gone shades of
RG three and what happened last night. But I'm going
to politely disagree with my radio producer in terms of
(01:11):
what we lead with. I'm sorry, I know it's a Monday.
It happened Saturday night, but that was everything about Saturday
night was amazing. What an unbelievable World Series game. Unbelievable,
unbelievable World Series game. It gave you so much. It
gave you so much. Ninth inning home run from a
(01:35):
defensive replacement who hadn't hit won in like over a month.
Bottom of the ninth inning, bases loaded and Will Smith
his toe comes off and then goes right back down
on the on home plate. And this after John Smoltz
epic foreshadowing talking about how hard it is to find
home plate when you're sliding, and then Pahz with a
(01:59):
catch he runs over Key k Hernandez to save the game.
And then the eleventh inning, Will Smith, who I didn't
even know, like again forgive me. I love baseball. I
do watch playoff baseball every year. Six World Series, six
World Series rings in a row for one guy. And
(02:20):
then the close out in the bottom of the eleventh
was equally spectacular with uh with with the is equally impressive,
Okay with the double play on the broken bat and
it's Mookie Betts, who he didn't hit well all series,
(02:44):
but he's not a short stop. Converted shortstop makes a
great play, steps on the bag, avoids hitting the runner
as he throws at the first and a double play.
What a game and Jason and Jason Soner wants me
to start with talking about the Seahawks beat and the
Comet and stop at Jason, Wow, it is your team,
(03:06):
it is your victory lab. When you think now about
Saturday night, what should America know about? What Fox Sports
Radio's biggest Dodger fan but also critical analyst thinks of Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Night about the game Game seven. It gave us everything
we wanted and you summed it up really nicely.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I think Game three still is going to hold a
special place in my heart. Game three was one of
the best experiences I've ever had. I went into the
weekend assuming that the bou Jays were going to get
to Yamamoto Ons on Friday night and close out the series,
and I was proven wrong, thankfully. H Yamamoto coming back
(03:52):
on zero day's rest to close out a World Series
after having one two World Series games over the previous
eight days. I don't know how you could tell me
that there has been a better performance, at the very
least by a pitcher in the postseason. I don't think
(04:13):
enough praise could be given to Yama Moto for that.
You could talk about Miguel Rojas in the last couple
of games. You could be critical of Dave Roberts for
sticking with pa Has too long in the first five games.
But Yama Moto basically Dave Roberts telling the entire baseball
world that he had zero faith in his relievers. And
(04:35):
I'm talking about your like situational relievers that craped the
bed the entire season and they didn't do anything to
address it. Going into the postseason. Dave Roberts kept throwing
us starters and starters after another in Game seven. I've
never seen anything like it. You're right, all those things
that you touched on THOT.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I thought he managed his ass off. I just do.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I think we give it little too much credit. It's like,
when things work out, he's an exceptional manager. I mean,
but like that all work out, wort.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Why was Paston's centerfield? Why would he.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Put Pas in center field because they needed someone with
a because what's his name, Tommy Edmund's got like a
wet paper, wet newspaper for an arm. So he put
passestant center because they needed a throw at home plate
to get the ti in or go ahead run.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
It was defensive replacement. Is that fair?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yes, that's exactly what it was.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
And and why was why did they make the switch
at second base? Same thing right now? He ends up
getting I mean, you end up getting a home run.
But the two biggest plays of the game for the
Dodgers in the bottom of the ninth inning were made
by his two defensive replacements. Again, I get, I I
understand where judging results and that process. But again I
(05:55):
and we're doing the same thing with pictures, and and
I would tell you that, yes, I mean, don't we
all agree with the idea that first starting pitchers are
paid more money because they're generally better than relievers. The
only question is can they get their motor going in
short order? And so many guys have started or played
college baseball where they come out of the pen or whatever.
(06:16):
But yeah, like, as a as a coach, when why
do I have to go to why do I have
to go to bullpen guys who aren't as good at
pitchers as my starters? And the bullpen guys haven't shown
themselves to be up to the challenge. Yeah. Again, I
thought it was. I thought it was. It was. Granted,
I am judging results, but I'm also trying to judge process,
(06:36):
and I thought his process was really good.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And just to be clear of Rojas was a he
wasn't a defensive replacement. Rojas got the start in Game
six because Paws couldn't hit and his Game five replacement
couldn't hit, so they move Edmund, who had been playing
a great second base all series. In fact, in game three,
I think Tommy Edmund was like a defensive hero and
he put Paw has in just to mix it up
(06:59):
a little bit, and the guy get hits a home run.
And by the way, that's one of the sub stories
of this. Yeah, I guess Miguel Rojas uh. His wife
told him was.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yes, yes, and she kept telling him you get hit
a home run and then before and he's like, what
are you talking about, Like, I haven't hit a home
run forever.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
He's he doesn't home runs.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I know. And it was a one hander on a slider. Amazing. Oh,
it was amazing. I'm as to tell you this, Like again,
we could talk about the NFL and Jane Daniels is hurt.
We can talk about the Packers playing down the level
of competition that costs themselves a game. And yet you
have a perfectly good kicker, but then McManis comes back
and you give him the job, and then McManus suddenly struggles. Like,
(07:41):
we go into all of those stuff and it's it's
all relatively interesting. But I mean, like, look, Game seven
was an epic game. Game three was an epic game,
and I would say that Game six was a pretty
epic game as well, especially considering the excitement and how
it ended. Is all this fair?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Jason mcguil Rojas was the hero of Game six with
just his glove. Alon't okay?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But my point though, is, are you okay saying three
of those games, three of the seven were Alzheimer's?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Absolutely? Drama wise?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh yeah, so we watched a seven game series where
three of them were all timers. You had, in many
people's conversation, the greatest single game performance by a hitter,
that being show Hey, going back to Game three, right,
and then you have Yamamoto, who I mean, like, look,
(08:35):
it's very similar to Madison Bumgardner. Right. Mad Bum had
that and mad Bum was a little bit was he
had to hit back then, and he was actually good
with the bat as well. So we've seen some of
mad Bum we've never seen show hey, and again, I
would have to I don't have the depth of baseball
knowledge in terms of a series, but what we got
(08:56):
was as good of a baseball series as you pop
Sibilly can get three all time games, including the last
two being absolute knock down dragonmounts Monci. You have a
(09:17):
Dodgers podcast, Okay, Yeah, And Jason was convinced when it
went back to Toronto it was over in game six.
Where were you in terms of your level of belief
that they could win this thing.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I'm definitely not on the same It was over mentality,
but I understood it because after the eighteenth inning game,
which I was at till the very end, it was
very uninspiring to see the Dodgers come out looking so flat,
while Toronto seemed unbothered by an eighteen inning game. Now,
(09:53):
Toronto also did take out most of their players way
before the Dodgers in that eighteenth inning game.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
VLADIMIRG.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Gerrea Junior was the only one that played the whole thing,
and so they just seemed refreshed and we seemed flat.
So naturally I didn't like the feeling of going back
to Toronto down in two games when the excitement was
gonna be just probably like Game one in Toronto that
they hadn't experienced. So I didn't like it. But I
wasn't like it's over. I was like, no, it's anything
(10:19):
can happen. And once the eighteenth thinning game happened, I
felt like everything went out the window, like the logic
went out the window. Anything you thought before this year
he started, it's gone. This is just when eighteen innings
the plan, they're now on plan F you know what
I mean. So I thought anything can still happen. And
it wasn't like Vladimirica Railroad Junior was killing it against
us the way he killed the Yankees single handedly. There
(10:41):
was hope, and we had Yamamoto and I just I
had hope.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
But it was it was it was hard.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
It was hard after those two losses, after the eighteenth
thinning game.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Uh, Sammy, you're like me, You're I'm I'm less than neutral, right.
The Dodgers are my son's favorite team. I am a
quasi Dodger fan angels are my team, but I was
definitely rooting for the Dodgers. You're more neutral.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I was ready for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Dodgers, but we're all we're all watching texting on Saturday.
Jason is just He's just on one. Every you know,
he's out the announcers, the umpiring everything. Jason's just on one.
What was your experience like watching Saturay Night.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I mean this, I think that some Dodger fans would
feel that this World series compared to last year, is
even sweeter, just because it was more of a battle.
I know, last year made up for sort of like
the oh, we have to win, like a real one
in front of fans, you know, outside of twenty twenty.
This one felt like such a battle. Last year, it
was so much hype for Yankees Dodgers, and it was
(11:48):
a dud. It was over in five and this one
was It was like an all timer to go back
to back in that style, and I think Dodger fans
are gonna I mean, this is this is this as
sweet as it gets.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So it was. It was fun to watch.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It was very stressful Friday and Saturday night the whole
the whole series was stressful, outside of the couple of
games where the Blue Jays kind of pulled away and
won convincingly.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
But I mean from.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
After that eighteen inning game, I was like, this kind
of feels like like twenty eighteen, like it could go
like ever, like they just they wouldn't win another game
after that. But man, when they were down three to
two in the series, it did feel like it was over.
I was more with Jason and then just to watch
them when those two in Toronto would.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
So could have started on Rob Parker. Unbelievable. I mean,
I've believing in it.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You can you can get it on Rob Parker there,
uh is what he is, Doug.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I've been living here for ten years. We'll go back
to Rob.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
I've been living here for ten years, and I've gotten
to see them win three World Series in six years
and get to see them play in one, two, three, how.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Many World Series since twenty seventeen five?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yep five? So that's I mean, that's a pretty good
run for someone who moved.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Here from Iowa.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
To see them be so good in baseball that have
the Dodgers win this much has been incredible.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
The Japanese players are just wired differently. Man, They're so good.
I just I love Yamamoto's whole mentality. It reminded me
the World Baseball Classic that they won, Jay Stu, what
were you gonna say about Rob? So? Rob? When we
last joined Rob Parker, he was saying the series was over?
Is that what people are dragging him over?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
More specifically, the Dodgers are cooked, the Dodgers. Dodgers will
not be able to fight back. That this game is
the series is over. And we were all interested to
see how he would react, if he would take back
his words, but no, he's been He still thinks that
Toronto very much gave it away, that this was a
(13:43):
fortunate thing for the Dodgers to have happened to them,
And to that point, I'm going to disagree with Rob.
With Rob, you never know kind of where the BA
starts and where the seriousness begins. I have no idea
what game he's playing here with Dodger fans or not,
or if he serious. But they were not cooked. They
showed fight, and I'm proud of them.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah I would. I mean, I don't know where the
BS starts, but it's but the one, the one thing
that is consistent about Rob is, I don't know anybody
he actually gives credit for winning games. You know, he's
called Tom Brady the luckiest of all time. He said,
Bill Belichick's a phony. So I don't know who is
(14:27):
responsible who actually gets credit for New England winning six
Super Bowls? Similarly, the Dodgers. Again, how many times do
you have to win before you actually get credit? So
I don't I can't concern myself with with Rob in
that in the way that Dodger fans do. But I
think that people who give him attention, you're just doing
(14:47):
him a favor because that's clearly the logic behind it,
and it works.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
That guy that Caleb Joseph, who's the former Major league
catcher and TSN analyst who's just getting killed by Dodger
fans and Keik a Hernan has elevated his his take
this weekend, so it got everyone more pissed off, Like,
I will agree with this guy. He was the one
who basically said that the Dodgers were not the better
team in this series. I would say, if you go
(15:12):
numbers next to numbers, the Blue Jays were the better
team in this series. The Dodgers just made one more
play than they did at the end, right yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Can can Caleb and Rob kind of be right in that?
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Like I felt that the Dodgers sort of picked the
blue Jays pockets, Like the blue Jays had their chance
and the Dodgers are just right there to sort of
I agree with that, I would agree.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But also like if you remember, like who is who
touched home play but was like a fraction of second
late Heiner filefa Yeah, I mean why didn't he run
through home play? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:43):
There was that, they asked him that.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
And also like his leadoff off the third base was
not as big as lead off as and.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
He's like, listen, they're base running cost him the end
of game six?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yeah yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
And winning right yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
And is that a case of like been there, Dodgers
have been there, done that, blue Jays are maybe the
ones coming.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
In again again? I I don't know me Again, it's
a very logical statement, but that does take away from
the idea that they were the better team. The better
team does make those plays, so I mean again, I
I just let's let's we don't need to get into
being critical of people who are critical or whatever. I
just like I woke up with a what I call
(16:23):
a sports high where I invested a lot of time
into watching a supporting event that I can't Honestly, I
did get emotionally tied to wanting the Dodgers to win,
just because I'm I grow so tired of everyone who
doesn't ever visit Southern California tell me how bad Southern
California is when every time I'm in Southern California, I'm like,
(16:45):
I love it here, Like it's awesome. What you know?
I mean, yes, skid Row's bad. I don't live in
skid Row, and nobody I don't know does, right, That's like, okay,
there's a whole other big city out there. But anyway,
that's not the point. The point is I woke up going, damn,
I just watched one of the best sporting events in
my life, and I got to watch two Friday night,
(17:07):
Like Friday was Halloween, right, and like, you know, you're
sitting there and what is sports supposed to do? This
is a big thing. What is sports supposed to do?
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Transport you away? Yeah, take you away from reality?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Correct? Okay, So again, I'm not looking for anybody's sympathy.
I have a great life, great but it's it's Halloween night,
and I got my dogs and I got a TV.
My neighborhood there's like one family with kids. I lived
three doors down outside that no one came by, you know.
(17:41):
I got daughters in college, my sons, and I don't
have anybody around for Halloween, Like I love Halloween, and
I got I don't have any ability to go to
a Halloween party. I'm just sitting at home. So I'm like,
I'm gonna watch this game. And I got rewarded with
a great watch. And then it's Saturday night. Now I
got football and I got the multiview and I'm watching
the SC game there when Nebraska and I got this
(18:01):
whole day and we're prepping and we're leaving the next
day for Kansas, and I'm like, you know what, I'm
gonna lock in and just enjoy Game seven, and it's
three to one. I'm like, is this really how the
baseball season is gonna end? And then all of a sudden,
they put a couple together and it just becomes the
most incredible game, the most incredible ending with so many
(18:21):
twists and turns. You had the ground rule double in
Game six, which which definitely changed the ending of that one,
you have the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth,
the infield being in, and then the play by Paez
where he runs over key K and KEYK is trying
to do a Willie Mays catch because it looked like
you might have been a little out of position.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
He catch that.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, you're not gonna catch that.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I don't know what he was thinking.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
But I mean, the whole thing was so great.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
And makes so many awesome plays throughout the series too.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I am convinced that Key K Hernandez does not play
regular season baseball anytime it's played. He only plays in
the playoffs for the Dodger. He's so clo and he's
like in the big plays, I don't even right, like
in the big plays. I'm convinced of it. I just
maybe this is a message of gratitude, or it's congrats
to Jay Stu, or just it's what I love about sports.
(19:14):
Is that again? For those probably five or six hours
each night that I'm watching baseball, I even watched the
pregame show on Saturday. I hate pregame shows and I
used to be part of pregame shows, especially that pregame show.
It was terrible, terrible, because they're just talking about stuff
(19:35):
that again, it's like all prediction stuff, which is just
a waste of time, instead of having some of the
best players in baseball teach me about different guys. Teach
me how black Garreau is this incredible hitter that's been
even better than the playoffs in the regular season. Show
me what they're doing to show Hey, Hotel anyway, I
watched pregame show. I loved every second of that game,
(19:56):
every second. It was so good. So I'm not telling
you that football is not a more popular sport. I'm
not telling you that we don't have more things to
get to. Tucker Craft hearing his acl, jayde and Daniels dislocating.
All those things are important, and we got plenty of
time to talk about football, but baseball. Take yourself a bow.
What a weekend for the sport.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
This is the best of the Don dot Leaf Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Hey, what up with you? Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio,
I URT Radio app. Welcome in. We're in Lawrence, Kansas today.
Why you ask? First day at college basketball season and
my Green Bay Phoenix are going to take on the
Kansas Jayhawks. So we'll get to love and hate in
(20:48):
a moment we got Tom Telesco joined this hour. We
still want to talk more of this about the World
Series and what an incredible Game seven. Game six was
amazing too. But this is year two for me, and
obviously we've adjusted a lot of things and kind of
understanding the two jobs and how it works, and trying
to help my guys in LA because because they they
(21:09):
sometimes don't know what's going on with when we're on
the road. But I'm really excited, really excited for both
year two of doing the radio show while coaching basketball
and year two of coaching college basketball. But it's interesting,
you know, like you stop and it's really important that
and people say it all the time. I mean to
(21:29):
stop and smell the roses and think about things. I
just you get these surreal moments, right with all these
things that collide in your life. I grew up watching
Kansas play like everybody in southern California. I mean, you're
we watched Big East basketball and then Kansas had a
point guard named Jock Vaughan who was from LA. They
(21:51):
always had an LA player or two that Roy Williams
has come on coach now, Jock Vaughn is part of
the other sidelines who's coached by Bill Self, who's not
only a Hall of Famer, but Bill's Oklahoma State a lum,
former Oklahoma State point guard, and he was a guy
that when I finished playing, I actually wrote him a
letter asking him, Hey, when I stopped playing, I'd love
to I'd always love to work for you. And then
I end up getting a job at ESPN, and the
(22:12):
rest kind of took care of itself, and now you
get to coach. Like I was standing there at shoot around, guys,
and I tried to describe it to our supporters as
the Lambeau of basketball. Right. It's that. It's just it's
so pristine in it's look and feel that you could
(22:33):
walk in and say it's if you said it's the
nineteen sixties. Everybody now their idea, Yeah, feels like nineteen sixties.
Write the new video, huge video board for the scoreboard.
But other than that, it looks the same as it
looked previously. But just that surreal moment of you know,
right before tip, looking down the sidelines and seeing Bill self,
you know, arguably the greatest coach of the modern era basketball,
(22:53):
six national championship banners. You know, they have the rules
of the sport in the building. I don't know. It's
it's gonna be a cool moment, really really cool moment.
There's been a lot of cool ones. This one's right
up there. And then you know people, I had somebody
ask me, Jase too, what are you gonna tell your team?
(23:16):
And I'll tell you right now. I'm gonna tell me, Hey,
you've got a chance to author the greatest Opening Night
story in the history of the support. Right now, nobody
cares that. Are you know that the lead Nations lead
score broke his ankle, or all the injuries or things
that we walked into, or academic probation. Nobody cares about that.
They just hey, we I took over a team a
(23:38):
little bit late in the cycle and we had a
rough year and a lot of people like to dog
pylon because I guess that brings them joy. Good for them,
But for me, I learned a lot and you know, I,
like any basketball coach, will honestly tell you, we don't
really know what we have just yet. I think we
(23:59):
could be pretty good, but it's gonna take a minute
because guys are still figuring out the level. But I
do know that If we win this game, it's all
anybody's can talk about. Right.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I'm really happy for you, Doug. I'm very very happy
for you. This is awesome. You know, behind the scenes,
we tried to get the show there didn't quite work
out logistically. I was able to experience your first game
last year, a year ago, and still water would love
to be in warrance today. But I do have a question.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yep, there's a question.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
The niece an answer, and the answer is if only
there was someone with the authority and the wisdom to
give us that answer.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
No, I'm the head coach. I get to set the schedule.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Hold on, let's ask the coach.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So, Doug, you have a really different roster than a
one that took the court last year. Could you give
me a couple of names that we should look for
tonight as we watch the Phoenix try to do the
impossible overcome a thirty point underdog difference against Kansas tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Look, there's some names that people are going to talk about.
Remel Bethea's a name people are going to talk about.
He's twenty nine, he's a sophomore. He was in the Navy.
He didn't play basketball growing up, I have no idea
how he's going to react to tonight, right, I mean,
like Legit has probably never played in front of more
than a couple of hundred people, and now he's going
to go against Florrie Badunga, who is an absolute freak
(25:25):
of an athlete who's a bigger, stronger, younger version of
what he does dunk blockshots role and I loved. So
I'm excited for Ramel to experience this, to experience it.
We have Lebron Thomas. Yes, that's right, I have a
player named Lebron on my team. There's a lot of
irony to it, I know me. Yes, he was a
(25:46):
first team Junior College All American point guard y and
it'll be a lot it'll be a challenge for him, right,
This is a higher level, very different, But I'm really
excited to see what he does because he's not perfect player,
but he's a really competitive kid who's won a ton
of games at junior college and I'm excited to see
how he competes. So those would be the first two,
(26:07):
and then Marcus Hall, who's my best returning player, and
you know last year is one of those while we're losing,
you're trying to fill your kids full of confidence, to
make them believe, hey, it's not them, it's you, and
you'll be you'll put a better team around him next year.
Marcus Hall is going to have a great year and
he is an awesome human being to to coach in
(26:29):
his career. So those would be the three first names.
Ramel Bethea who's six' nine with a seven to four.
Wingspan Lebron thomas who's six three hundred and ninety five,
pounds and he's the opposite Of lebron in that he's
right handed in real life and left handed as a basketball.
Player Was lebron's you, know the ib was a left
handed in real life and right handed basketball. Player and
(26:50):
Then Marcus, hall who's From, Schofield. Wisconsin there you, go.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Hey Coach Sam kinsley here from The Davenport, Press Davenport
Free Times. Press so just listen ten ten minutes into the,
game first, Half all, RIGHT i should say first half
of the first, half maybe first half of the.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Game first twenty.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Minutes are you are you like looking at a department
of your team, rebounding, scoring you, know three point shooting
that you're maybe worried, About like what do you want to.
See you're, like there's some department that you're like, this
this could be a soft spot for, us a week.
Spot we need to test it out against these very
Talented Kansas.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Jayhawks, WELL i, mean look last, year, obviously rebounding was
a huge issue with, us and just overall. Toughness we
felt like we'd get them there and then we get
pushed around and fall apart some in the second. Half so, rebounding, defense,
toughness and they're. Young they Have Darren peterson who's gonna
be the number one overall, pick and he's an incredible shooter.
(27:47):
Scorer the rest of their young ones haven't made shots
yet in their exhibition. GAMES i think they're a better
shooting team than the. Numbers usually it takes guys a
couple of games to settle. Down so we want to
see what you. WANT i want to see is are
you trying to do what we've been coaching you on
doing and will you compete against, bigger more athletic guys
(28:09):
in a hostile. Environment that's, It that's really. It are
you gonna try and do what we want or you
can try and do your own, thing and then are
you gonna compete because you're gonna get pushed, around you're
gonna get a non foul, Call you're gonna make a.
Mistake are you gonna compete or are you gonna sulk
and pout or or get kind of intimidated by the.
Atmosphere one thing here before we get to. MONTHS i
know you have a. QUESTION i do want to be
(28:30):
critical of essentially every paper or online site who has
done an article on this. Game and this is you
The Kansas City, star and there's other there's Other topeka
newspapers and. Whatever no one has. Call all they do
is aggregate quotes from Like Media day or some other.
(28:51):
Article is it that hard to ask to come to
shoot around and ask a, question or call me and
ask a. Question it's. Crazy it's not about me or
About Green bay or our. Story but we're getting ready
to Play kansas And bill self And Darren. Peterson you
want to get a quote from the opposing coach who
can give you a pretty good. Quote but, NO i
guess again To Jay stew's, lament this is media in
(29:14):
twenty twenty five where people want to just aggregate a
quote and use it for their own. Story you, know
it's like Coach prime, SAYS i ain't hard to. Find
what do you got? There? Months? All?
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Right in your second, year is there some different approach
that you are going to take you yourself as a,
coach something that maybe you did last year that this
year you want to approach it?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Differently, yes we. Do we commit TO defensei vitamins every,
day defense and rebounding every. Day, okay, weird that is
not what happened last year is not going to happen
on my, watch which is we JUST i did not
think we were nearly as good, defensively and we played
people more based upon trying to find mismatches than playing
(29:56):
who are what's the best defensive? Lineup we have start
there every? Game you, know it's like what you do
is you do like a self, audit, right you go
back through. Things and WHEN i went, back what loses you?
Games it doesn't matter if you play fast or. Slow
it doesn't matter what offense you, run what defense you
run is? Okay what is who wins the turnover? Battle
(30:18):
who wins the rebounding? Battle and then it's after that
it's quality of shot and can you defend three point?
Line so those are the things that we focused on
and then the rest we can kind of build. Out so,
yeah the approach is very very To my staff is.
DIFFERENT i have three new assistant, COACHES i have ten new.
Players there's a different kind of. Energy it's a different
(30:40):
sort of guy where they're older and they're they're a
little bit more, stubborn a little bit slower, learner but
tougher and a little bit. Withered So i'm interested to
see how much the approach helps. Us and then the
last part month, Says i'm a super competitive. Guy you
get into games and you're, like, well it's just you
can win every. Game you do have to keep in,
(31:01):
mind you have to continue to develop players playing the long,
game you, know the games that really. Matter we play
three league games In december and the rest start After january,
First so those are the games that we need to
build up. For and there's some of our players that
aren't going to be great, tonight but we think can
be really helpful once we get.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
THERE i don't know anything about college, basketball BUT i
THINK i could tell you a fact about. Tonight those
Five kansas players that take the court to begin the
game are all self.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Starters very.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Good oh you know what he just? Did there he did.
Alliteration that's that's one of his favorite. Things let's get
to love and, hate shall? We what we love from the,
weekend what we hate from the.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Weekend let's go To, GOD i love you and what
did you?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Hate meet these?
Speaker 8 (31:53):
Player is?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Love love love love love love hate hate hate hate.
Hate Jay stu starts off what you love from.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
The this is the best part about your favorite baseball
team winning is that your, offspring your, child is a
much bigger fan than. Mine so for those listeners who don't,
KNOW i have a fully grown adult child Named, jacob
AND i have never met a Bigger dodger. Fan so
(32:20):
on My instagram right. NOW i just posted it At
Jason Stewart. Sports the happiest part of my. Weekend WHAT
i loved most was sharing in the, joy the, emotion
and the tears with my son as The dodgers brought
home another. Championship Because jacob is like an actual normal.
Fan he's not like, Me he's not negative LIKE i
(32:42):
am mfing this team for seven, games And jacob's, like
why you gotta be so? Negative why can't we? Win
and you, know he's just one of those. Fans so
when they actually. Win it's just, pure unadultraated emotion and.
Elation by far the biggest happiest part on my. Weekend
AND i loved. HIM i love, HIM i love, YOU
(33:04):
i love all of our, listeners AND i love The.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Dodgers months months of, WEEKEND i Knew jason would definitely
take The dodgers, winning and OBVIOUSLY i love.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
That of COURSE i.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Did it was such a great. Series we've talked about,
that But i'm not gonna. LIE i also really love
That Kawhi leonard hit a game winner On friday night
against The. Pelicans he has another game. Winner it's just
like it's unfair that some players who are great don't get.
Those and Here's Kawhi leonard just constantly hitting game. Winners
AND i know he's injured half the, time And i'm
a very Emotional clippers, fan but at least he gives
(33:41):
me these little highs throughout the season that keep me.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Afloat Uh, So i'm so.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Glad AND i also dressed up As Philly, karen AND
i THINK i did a great job AND i love
THAT i.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Saw it was really. Good thank you so, Much thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
So, Much, Philly.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Philly, Well i'm taking a bit of sloppy seconds. Here
Maybe i'm just signing on What jason was talking, about
endorsing what he was talking, about because as a transplant
me coming here From iowa To Los angeles In december
of twenty, FIFTEEN i got to listen to a little
bit Of Vin scully in his last year before he.
Retired i've been to Playoff i've been to a playoff
(34:15):
game At Dodger stadium when that they, lost, unfortunately And
i've been to regular season games At Dodger. STADIUM i
can tell you this. Much Dodger baseball is the real.
Deal the fans are the real. Deal and if you're
someone who moves out, here you become absorbed by The.
Dodgers it is easy to be A dodgers, fan especially
SINCE i moved. Here they've been WINNING Nl west titles
(34:35):
since what twenty.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Fourteen that's the second time you've said. That do you
think they are winning because you moved.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
HERE i think.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
The ownership, change you, know catapulted them into contender. Status
MAYBE i had something to do with, it probably, not but,
LISTEN i moved here at a great time When dodger
baseball has never been hotter and it's IT'S i grew
up A phillies fan In, iowa and then you, know
people love The, cubs The, cardinals AND i. Will but
there's something about being you're From Los angeles and you're
(35:04):
A dodgers. Fan it's so it's so. Pure and again
it's easy to be A dodgers fan because they win a.
Lot so that being, SAID i think that this second,
one LIKE i said in the first, segment in the first,
segment this second one of the back to back is
sweeter because of how much of a struggle it, was
the battle against The Blue jays who were ready for the.
Fight i'll take, listen it's, Okay i'm gonna endorse What jason.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Said this was an incredible sports.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Weekend this was a lot Of dodger fans thought this
series was, lost but also a lot of them kept the,
hope kept the, faith and it paid. Off they won
in seven in one most epic world series of all.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Time i'm Again i'm okay SAYING i loved it AND
i loved every minute of. It and the coolest part,
is you, know to those of us who, remembers was
it city, slickers you know where where they talked about
baseball and what it means to. You my son doesn't
(35:58):
play baseball, anymore but from the time he was probably
three or four years, old we played catch five days
in a, week sometimes seven days in a, week and
multiple times in a. DAY i coached, him you, know
growing up in. Baseball he's a left handed. Pitcher and
(36:20):
so When i'm watching the game and we start texting
back and forth about the, game and he didn't. Go
it was like A saturday. Night his buddies are going,
out and he's just, LIKE i, go what are you?
Doing who you? With by myself That i'm watching this.
Game it's. Awesome so we're texting back and forth all
(36:42):
this funny, stuff AND i Just i'm thankful for, baseball.
Man it's so. Great and it reinvigorated all the. Memories
the eighty Eight World, series you, know Where gibson hit
the home. RUN i went To game. TWO i took
my son The game one when they lost to The
Red sox in The World. SERIES i remember THE Covid World,
series WHICH i actually, liked AND i liked because everybody
(37:05):
we're still everybody's still, home you, Know AND i remember
you a trick or treating In Newport beach and everybody's
got The dodger game on during The World, series just
all the good memories and then you get you get
rewarded for the time put in with an incredible finish

the weekend that actually got some. Traction it's still in the.
Algorithm i'm still getting reaction to, it a lot of.
Engagement and you, know On, twitter, dog the normal thing
is you put something out, there unless You're, monsei if
you're an attractive, female it's a different. Experience but if
(37:48):
you're just, me a fifty two year old white, man
you throw out, something half the people call you fat and,
ugly and the other half actually agree with what you.
Say this was like ninety for ninety five. Percent if
there's if there is like one thousand comments under my,
tweet ninety five percent of agree with. This why are they?
(38:09):
Doing in game, Interviews rosenthal And verducci were embarrassing. Themselves,
no they have no. Awareness first of, all they can't
read the. Room they're compelled to do these canned in
question interviews and the game is going on in the
background while it's. Happening, literally there were things in important
games going, on and the, Manager John schneider actually apologized
(38:31):
To Ken rosenthal for not being able to do the
interview because he had to do his freaking. Job get
rid of the in game interviews in important. Games save
them for The All star games or regular season, games
but not games six and seven of The World.

one thirty three points to come back and beat The.
Giants we saw what The bills did against The, ravens
so we know the scoring can. Happen BUT i felt
myself in a predicament BECAUSE i was, like, No Jaden
(39:29):

There because like the game is so far away and
he's their, star he's their. Future, no but they're at.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
Hey Fox Sports radio has the best sports talk lineup
in the nation. Yet catch all of our shows At
fox sports radio dot com and within The iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
App It's Doug Gotleep Show Fox Sports. Radio i'll play for.
YOU a little later on the, show Dan quinn's answer
to Why Jane daniels was in the game when they're
getting blown out in the fourth. Quarter Matt holliday's gonna
join us in about a minute a. Half, first so
let me get you to Montcy bolano's for an. Update
months it's The Doug Gottlieb show here On Fox Sports.
(43:21):
Radio he's won A world. Series he's so he's and
and one one of the most epic world series when
he was with The Saint Louis cardinals and they beat
The Texas. Rangers David, freese the hero of THE. Mvp
SO i GUESS i just want to. Know Matt holliday
joins us now on The Doug Gottlieb show On Fox Sports.
Radio how would that series it just, concluded compared to
(43:43):
the one that you guys won with The cardinals over The.
Speaker 8 (43:46):
Rangers, WELL i think they certainly both go down as
two of the Great world series of all. Time anytime
you go down to A game, SEVEN i think most
of the you, know the high intensity drama of games
six will be, remembered uh for for the one we
won as opposed to all the drama that went down
(44:08):
In game. Seven you know this year so. Too two
legendary world series is BUT i, think you, know obviously
when you're talking about A game seven and all the
back and forth and then, uh for a guy that
Pitched game six to come back and close Out game,
seven uh and two plus, innings, uh certainly. Adds you,
(44:32):
KNOW i think a legend that that maybe we haven't
ever seen so great world? Series great for, baseball you,
KNOW i think it's, uh it's a it's interesting because
you can you can nitpick and look at all the
little things when it comes down to a one run
game and an extra inning uh. Situation you, know you
(44:53):
start talking about all the little things that could have
gone the other way that would allow The Blue days
to win The World, series and then you know everything
that you know The dodgers did so, uh it's it.
Was it was a fascinating series and and a lot
of a lot of a lot of little. Things matt
added up.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
A lot of little. Things, okay so let's get to
those little. Things let's get to those little. Things where
do you? Be where do you? Begin BECAUSE i think the,
layman the non baseball, SAVANT i would consider you a baseball.
Savant the non baseball savant wants to pick, apart you,
know bottom of the ninth inning or even you go
(45:31):
back to when the Blue jays got doubled. Up let's
let's go To game, six when the Blue jays get
doubled up on that short, uh that short pop up
to left? Center was that a base running error that
Ended game? Six?
Speaker 8 (45:50):
YEAH i mean. Yeah BUT i think the thing that
THAT i think maybe caught the base runner off guard
was how Shallow hernandez was, playing which ironically almost cost
him The World series if it wasn't For pahes running
over and catching the ball over his. Head you, know
(46:10):
they're at the. END i think as a base, runner
you check the outfielders and you have to know where they're.
Playing and, me you, know in watching the game WHERE
i can't see the outfielders off the, BAT i thought
the ball was down as, well and then here comes you,
know keyk to make the, catch and then you know
the guy makes a great play to pick an in
(46:33):
between hop at. Second but you, KNOW i think the
thing with the base runner is is you have to
know where your outfielders. Are and you, know he didn't
even have to die he caught it running, in SO I, i,
YES i think that that was a base running. Mistake
but you, know K k was playing shut. Up maybe you,
(46:55):
know before the pitch he took a few steps. IN
i don't know. Exactly you, know i'd have, to you,
know maybe try to see the overhead if he if
he was able to somehow maybe maybe not even intentionally
trick the runner by pre pre, pitch you, know because
you're taught at the base runner to check the outfielders
and then take your lead and and then you, know
(47:17):
you you take your secondary and react to the, ball
and the, ball LIKE i, said seemingly was going to get,
down takes one extra step and it cost. Him so,
YEAH i think overall you'd have to say that that's
the base running. Mistake but you, know in that, situation
he was very very.
Speaker 1 (47:36):
Shallow Stut Gottlieb show here On Fox Sports. Radio, okay
speaking of second secondary, lead what do you make of
what happened bottom of the ninth. Inning you Got connor
uh at what third base and he GETS i mean
misses by milliseconds right and stepping on. Home but should
(47:59):
there have been a bigger, lead you, know bigger secondary,
lead and should he have run through the base instead
of slidden slid sliden slid slidden.
Speaker 8 (48:07):
Home, YEAH i, mean, LOOK i think that, Yes and in,
hindsight he probably should have had a little, better bigger secondary.
Lead makes you wonder if the way the game winded
the night, before maybe in the back of his, mind
or maybe in the back of the coach's mind that
coaching third base is that, you, hey don't get too
(48:29):
far off in case there's a you, know a line
drive towards third that would double you. Off, YES i
think he should have had a larger. Lead it also
was a left handed, hitter which gives the catcher a
clearer path to try to pick off a runner at
third if you get too big of a lead or
(48:52):
a secondary. Lead but, uh it is interesting to think
about that even if it was one one foot bigger
on the on the, second would he have been saying
certainly would have Made rojas rush to throw more if
he if he'd have had a better, jump better read,
better better secondary. Lead but, YEAH i, mean, yeah another
(49:15):
one where you, go, golly you know they could have
if he's one further off the, base they win The
World series and you're celebrating In toronto today instead Of
La but, yeah that's. Baseball there's just so many little
things that add. Up but it certainly makes me me
think that the night before could have certainly had an
impact on his secondary.
Speaker 1 (49:37):
Stug gottlieb sho here On Fox sportray that's Always' Matt
holiday's a seven Time All. Star he's joined us throughout
the baseball. Season good friend of the, program friend, personally
and just kind of looking back through what was just
an Epic World series with Incredible game, six Incredible game.
Seven what what you do for a living and for
fun is swings in? Baseball explain to me how who's
(50:00):
not a prodigious home run hitter hits a one hands
the ball out of the park in the top of
the ninth inning with with Show. Hey it was a, slider, right,
like how do you do? It?
Speaker 8 (50:15):
YEAH i MEAN i think that that was the PITCH
i think he had. HELD i think that might have
been his only home run off of the right hand
pitch of the whole. Season it's one of those, Things
doug WHERE i THINK i think with Show hey on,
Deck hoffman was really just trying to throw a strike
with the, slider and sometimes when you when you kind
(50:37):
of take a little off where you're just trying to
trying to make sure that it's a. Strike it looked
like it backed up towards the, hitter so it kind
of spun in closer to, him and he found the,
barrel and and you, know he's a major league, player
and if you find the, barrel and slider spend to
(51:00):
carry further than fastballs or for you, know breaking balls to.
Spin if you if you hit him properly and you,
know redirect the, spin they have more. Carry so bad
bad breaking ball too close to a hitter that doesn't
hit home. Runs the only pitch he probably could have
(51:20):
hit out right there is a is a breaking ball
close to, him and and kind of a perfect storm
of events where you, know it backed, up he caught
it on the, barrel caught it out, front hit it
to the, perfect perfect part of the, park and you,
know you got you got a tie. Game so it was,
unlikely to say the, least but it looked like he
(51:44):
aims that slider a little. BIT i, think you, know in,
hindsight again we're talking about, baseball so you can always second,
guess BUT i think a fastball away to a hitter
like that is is always the safest.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Pitch it's easy with hindsight to shit. Back. Go, Hey
Dave roberts tailed it using starters instead of. Relievers they're
in the in the late extra. Innings, Obviously yamamoto in the,
moment did you think that was the right.
Speaker 8 (52:10):
Decision, well, Look i'm always a little surprised when you
bring a guy back the pitch the day. BEFORE i,
mean he threw close to one hundred pitches the night
before and as and then you, know you bring him
back on zero day's. Rest it's, REALLY i, think kind
of ironic when you think, about you, know the way
(52:35):
that The dodgers leaned on their bullpen so much last,
year and then they almost fulely leaned on their starters this.
Year so it's like almost reverse of the way that
they won The World series from this year to last
year was so heavily bullpen couldn't wait to get their
(52:56):
starters out of the. Game this, year they they want
nothing to do with any of their, relievers and they're you,
know recycling, starters and you, know putting in a guy
that pitched the previous. DAY i think is is quite.
Ironic but, YEAH i MEAN i think at the, TIME
(53:18):
i was just a little, surprised uh that that he
was even. AVAILABLE i, mean typically when a guy throws
a hundred pitches the next day doesn't even puts fleets.
On AND i know It's game seven of The World
series and all hands on deck is the is the big,
tagline but that typically doesn't include the guy that threw
a hundred pitches the night. Before SO i was a little.
(53:41):
Surprised and he was, awesome and he found.
Speaker 1 (53:44):
IT i found out a way to get out of. It,
matt your sport was awesome this, year especially at the.
