(00:21):
first out. Man, it must feel good to be able
to help the team out and win this game.

I'm just happy, Like I said, I'm just happy to
help the boys.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Mookie. In the first inning, you guys got on the
board early. Not sure if you realize this, but you're
in the Dodger history books. You have the most doubles
and Dodgers postseason history. After an RBI double to drive
in Otani, how good was it to see him get
on for you and be able to get that early run.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oh it's huge just to get on the board first,
getting a show going, that's really important for us. It's
kind of like the Bulls playing without Michael Jordan. But
he'll be there when it's.

when it's time. And I'm as you saw, he let
off with a triple and we are to put one
on the board and play downhill from there.

You're one win away from going back to the World Series.
Can you even allow yourself to realize you're that close?
Not yet? Not yet?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Well, let's get one more win and then hopefully we
could take take a couple of days or whatever it is,
and then we can reset. But we you know how
hard it is to win ball games, and so you
can't turn your brain off. And you really just got
a grind through these through October.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Really, I know he'll be the first guy out here tomorrow.
Marcus Limp Betts, you better know it.
