Speaker 3 (01:30):
It did not happen the way we thought it would happen. Well,
number of reasons. We have two hours, yes, and.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
I believe we're prepared for our two hours.
Speaker 3 (01:42):

We have got two hours. David Vase will join us. Next,

get you to Morocco Casino. Dodgers on deck. They want
(02:26):
you out at the stadium. It's Dodgers dot com slash
postseason for tickets. They want you out there. They want
you geeked up. I heard it was a pretty good
environment last night, just things right away from the Dodgers
and people got upset, and then of course TBS really
leaned into the fans leaving and the parking lot being
(02:50):
full on the way out. Our guest Brian Anderson had
a little bit of fun with that, but he also
really labored watching his friend Clayton Kershaw on the mound,
laboring as well.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, that wasn't cool. That was not and I'm sure
we can get into it throughout the course of the show.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's you know, just to give you a preview of
what we're gonna do in about an hour and a half, Like,
didn't we just do this in twenty nineteen? Did we
not just do this in twenty nineteen? Kershaw comes out
of the bullpen, gets a huge out, saving Walker Buehler,
maintaining a three to one lead against the Nationals, and
every single person at Dodger Stadium when they saw him
(03:34):
emerge from the dugout to come back out to pitch
the age was like, wait a minute, are we doing?
Why is he coming back out to pitch the eight
exact same situation yesterday, comes out of the bullpen. Place
is going bananas. It's still three to one, you still
have that lineup? He freaking labors through the seventh inning.
I mean labors. He got a freaking pickoff, play a
(03:55):
pickle to get you an out to get out of
that thing with twenty five pick and you send him
back out there for the eighth Like, what in what
world are you living in? There is not a single
person in that stadium that thought that was a good idea,
not one.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
What was the sentiment on scam this morning, Tim regarding
that thing that seems to be very, very controversial on
social media and on the more traditional networks about Kershaw
going back out there for the eighth.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, not a lot of Dodger fans wanted to see
Clayton Kershaw back out there for the eighth, But under
the circumstances, no Tanner Scott, which is another thing to
think about and talk about as well, maybe you need
to replace him on the roster if he's not able
to go out and pitch and not even with the
team right now because of personal reasons. So we hope
everything's okay, certainly, but you need another arm in the bullpen.
Why not go to Blake trying in the eighth inn?
(04:47):
It's a three to one game. You got to keep
it closed, are you punting for Game four? Are you
banking on your offense not going to get any outrun
production the final nine outs that they have to try
to get into this game? What are you playing for
it that twenty three pitches three pitches opens with a
single then a walk like it's It's not like it
was a let is Dave always say to us it
(05:08):
wasn't a stressful inning.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
That was a stressful inning. I mean, people's buttles were
freaking puckered the whole time he was out there. And
the fact that he got out of it with two
on and no oubt and all of Dodger Stadium is
going crazy when he gets out of that jam. Now,
the offense did nothing to help that out. The way
it was kind of authored is he gets out of
the jam, goes into the dugout Rojas edmund Otani, you
(05:32):
get a single here on Otani home run. Maybe he's
decided he doesn't want to hit anymore. And now you've
got your storybook ending. You know, you bring in Shean
or Trinan and Sasaki and you win the game and
you win the series. But the bats weren't cooperative. It
wasn't the only reason they lost that game. It's just Look,
(05:52):
there's no reason to feel bad for the guy. He's
had one of the greatest careers in the history of baseball.
But man, what a what a what a bummer for him.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It was a terrible thing to watch, There's no doubt
about it. Today is a new day and there is
hope in the air.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Hopeful music at noon, Hopeful music at noon.
Speaker 3 (06:23):

But again, a great deal of disappointment is encircling the city.
There's a sick feeling in the hearts of the people
(07:09):
because they saw Tommy Edmund's home run. Then they saw
the Dodgers' inability to capitalize. They saw the Phillies do
some things. They saw the Phillies' inability to capitalize. But
when they put Clayton Kershaw back out there for the
eighth inning, Matt, I don't know what that does. I
(07:32):
don't know emotionally what that means. I don't know if
the Dodgers are going to need to recover themselves emotionally. Obviously,
it's the baseball playoffs. You have to be able to
take a punch and stand back up and live with it.
And of course Kershaw is not a very high leverage
(07:53):
pitcher at this point, and they got out of the
situation the way they needed to huge to get out
of that, but they put him back out there, and
of course there were questions and answers about it, and
Tonight's New Night, and look who's going tonight, Matt, your
favorite guy.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Hey, welcome to the postseason, Tyler Glass. Now with your
one hundred and forty million dollar deal, your trade of
prospects and players.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And you've come out of the bullpen, Matt, he has.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But I mean, like this is much like we said
with Snell, you know in his postseason track record, this
is an opportunity for you to silence all the critics,
to have a lineup behind you, to have a team
behind you that's going to deliver the victories that you deserve,
and Snell certainly deserved that he just wasn't able to
put it together, whether or he was getting pulled early
(08:44):
by managers or as Dave told us, had corner outfielders
that weren't cooperating defensively. He proved exactly what Dave said, Hey,
this is one of the best pitchers in baseball. He
just needs to have the right team behind him. And man,
he's been sensational. And I think this goes for Glass
now when they made the trade for him, what was said,
this is a guy who when he's healthy, has got
(09:05):
some of the best stuff in baseball. So last time
I checked, he's healthy. Let's see the stuff, you know,
because Christopher Sanchez probably going to finish either second or
third and sy Young voting along with Yamamoto, and he's
going to be back on the mound after shutting the
Dodgers offense down until that sixth inning in Philadelphia, and
you're probably gonna have to match him pitch for pitch,
(09:27):
you know, like Blake Snell and like jo Haeo Tani
did their counterparts or else.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You know, Hey, I know that Dave Roberts said something
about leaving Clayton Kershaw out there in the eighth I
know that a lot of people had a lot to
say about it. Kate's what was the general sentiment from
Dave Roberts when it comes to leaving Clayton Kershaw out
there in the eighth and what upset everybody? Because I mean,
(09:57):
I heard Fred say that the crowd wasn't into it
last night, that they needed more energy the he else
he talking about. I'm pretty sure the crowd was really
honest I've ever heard. I think the eighth inning was
a gut punch to everybody. Weren't you in the pavilion
last night, Tim, shouldn't you have gone home?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I was heading the pavilion for about three and a
half innings. I was there in left field when Tommy
pavilion or Tommy hadn't hit the home run in the pavilion.
I was on that concourse that goes all the way
around where you guys used to do the show temporarily
there in centerfield. There's that walkway, it's the back right
behind the back row, and it was packed.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And the pavilion last night, guys was.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Absolutely rock and they were standing the entire time left field,
right field, there was a drummer in right field.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Somebody had a whistle.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It sounded like a soccer game out there doing chance
and they were leading the way and they were leading
the crowd. Anytime Yamamoto had two strikes on a hitter,
it was the pavilion yesterday that got the rest of
the stadium on their feed to get in for the
final strike. They were the ones getting the whole crowd
into the game last night. It was awesome to see
(11:04):
what they were doing, and the crowd was into it.
It was sold out, fifty nine thousand. Everybody was there
and that place was electric. They were waiting for the
Dodgers to score. They were waiting to celebrate. They were
waiting for the Dodgers to do something, and they were
helping out as best they could. The crowd was not
The crowd was awesome last I don't know what Fred's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It was electric.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
And we've been to hundreds of games, hundreds of playoff
games as well, dozens. Ice to say, I've never seen
anything that electric as far as the pavilion get everybody going.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So that ren's counter to what was said the hour prior.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh, when you sit and watch them on TV, you
know it's a little different than me and there, well,
I could feel it through the TV.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I absolutely could feel it. You could hear the crowd,
you could see him, you could see how packed it was,
you could see everybody standing up. The bats did nothing
to help the crowd out, As you said, they went
silent last night when you got Aaron Nola giving him
a free two innings the top of your order. Inexcusable,
but you know that, and yet the crowd was still
(12:05):
in it. You know, crowd was still in it. How
can you say the crowd wasn't into it when Clayton
Kershark gets a standing ovation and that place is going
crazy at the top of the seventh going into the
bottom of the seventh after he got out of that jam.
I mean that might have been the loudest the crowd
was all night.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
When did TBS show people leaving when it was eight
to one and what the eighth or ninth inning?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
What do you expect? Well, it's I mean, it's a
national broadcast and it's a La trope.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Oh so that's the narrative. Oh, fans leave early, look
their teams losing. It's eight to freaking one, guys, And that.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Would happen in any Major League Baseball state stadium in
the country, and nobody wants to watch their hero who's
had such a great year carried out on his shield,
or such a great year of celebration and such a
great year of memories being brought up and good feelings
and all that stuff, and then to have a flame
(13:00):
or were taken to it last night like it did.
Not that the season's over or anything like that, But
you wonder what it means for the future. And I
wonder if Dave Roberts considered the emotional toll it would
take on the team to just let Clayton Kershaw out
there to be bludgeted. I don't know if there was
(13:21):
something else that's a great point done or not done,
But I don't know what did they say about it.
At the end of the game. I went to sleep.
I mean, I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, you go get him, Go get him after the
home run when it's four to one. Clearly he didn't
have it in that inning before. He was just getting
through on guts, you know, in competitiveness. And when that
first home run is hit immediately at the top of
the eighth, go get him immediately, Like you said, at
least you're not humiliating him like, well, we're just going
(13:53):
to leave you out there, you know, save the bullpen
for tomorrow. It's not I mean, no offense to Jack
dry It's not Jack Dryer out there. It's freaking Clayton Kershaw.
And to leave him out there to stealing a mess
is not cool. I mean that was really really not cool.
(14:15):
Like it as you can tell it. Just the moment
he walked out of the dugout, I was like, what
the hell are we doing? How does this make sense
to anybody? And then just and you know, and I'm
sure a lot of it is Kershaw. Is that guy
like you want to go back out there? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, that's up to you to say. Eh, I just
watched the last twenty three pitches. Let's just you know what,
what a great moment. The place is still pumping. We
got we're down to certainly not been a huge deficit
for this offense to overcome. The Bats have been silent
for seven innings, but maybe they can wake up in
the eighth and ninth, and man, what then you get
(14:56):
the guys you know in they're the low leverage guys
in there, and it's just now you go Duran on
a night's rest instead of him having to go out
there to save in the ninth. And it's just it's
a complete It's not saying they're not gonna win this
game today. I firmly believe they're still the favorites to
win this game today. But man, what a bad look
last night in the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
If you don't win today, you got to go back
to the sharp teeth of Philadelphia and get chewed up
like a shark. Here is Dave Roberts on the decision
making with Clayton Kersher.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
If it was Clayton's first time out of the bullpen
in the postseason since I believe twenty nineteen, what did
you see out of him and this stuff?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, it was just uh well yeah on the postseason. Yeah,
he just didn't have a great slider tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So I'm gonna send it back out there.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Then I think, you know, Clayton pitched off a slider,
and you know, so when the slider's not their depthy teeth,
he and then the fastball command he is working behind too,
So yeah, that just the command wasn't there tonight, So.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm gonna send him back out in the eighth if
that's if that's your answer, you saw that in the
seventh and it's a three to one game and you're
gonna send him back out there in the eighth, Like,
how how does that reconcile?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Here is Mookie bats a team leader on the Dodgers
and the shortstop and the man that called the wheel play.
We imagine on how hard it was to stand out
there and watch Clayton Kershaw get bunked around like a
like a log in a river.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
How did school to apologies if someone asked this on
the way back there, how did school was it to
watch a guy like Kershaw with all that he's gone
to kind of struggle on the big staate like.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
This, I mean, my little lit it's hard to watch.
But you know, we can't use two innings ASTs he's
gonna have a statue and he's hard to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
So so you had.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
To kind of keep that in mind and and understand
that in the grants kin of things, Kershaw is the
first out Hall of Famer, one of the best pitchers
to ever do it. So if you two innings kind
of ruined that, then you don't.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Know baseball last night?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay, Yeah, didn't have to be two innings, It could
have been one inning. And how great was it to
have Kershaw come out of the bullpen see Dodger Stadium
get electric? And then when he got that out and
walked off and kept you guys and they get that's
the that's the question you should have been asking, especially
when your manager says the slider didn't have bite and
he didn't have fastball command.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So what do they do? Though? If Tanner Scott's not
available and the eighth innings sitting there? What do you
do if you can't? I mean, what what was Dave Roberts?
What could he have done.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
To put in she in? Right? I mean, certainly could
have put in em at Sheen, who had a pretty
damn good two innings, you know, three two nights prior, Like,
I don't know why, I don't know why there there'd
be any issues with him having any sort of fatigue?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Right? Is there something about leaving Kershaw out there for
two innings that gives the Dodgers more leverage? I'm not
talking about emotionally, I'm talking about personnel wise that gives
them more leverage tonight as far as their pitching plan
goes against Sanchez.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I mean, yeah, you have she In tonight. Right, If
Glassnow's not going to be able to go seven, let's
say you can only you know, last night Yamamoto did
not help them out at all by having his worst
start in a month and a half and only going four.
So you know, I would assume tonight the hope is
that Glassnow can go six or seven. You get she
(18:38):
In to go one or two and Sasaki in the ninth,
and that's how you get out of this thing and
not have to go back to Citizens Bank for the
weekend and play a game five and try to avoid
becoming just the fourth team to lose a series up
to nothing when you win the first two games on
the road.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Now, I'm getting a lot of texts saying, you guys
are putting out a bad vibe for today, wankers. That
was yesterday, you Debbie downers. Let's go Dodgers. Okay, And
that's cool, correct, we read the ticket promo. But what
do you want us to do? I mean, we've spent
the last month celebrating Clayton Kershaw reading poems that his
(19:17):
wife wrote on the air, having that wonderful moment in Seattle,
all that different stuff, and then he's just out there
being pumbled and tortured live on TBS while his personal
friend from Texas, Brian Anderson, is trying to keep it
(19:38):
together on the air.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yes, Tim, we do have some Dodger news. David Vesse
will be on with you guys in about ten minutes.
But Dave Roberts is speaking to the media right now
and revealed that Tanner Scott has been removed from the
Dodgers NLDS roster and replaced by fellow left hander Justin Robleski. Now,
apparently Tanner's Scott had a lower body incision last night
(20:05):
and so he was not available.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Now he's not himself.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Well wait a minute, Like an incision is something that
occurs in surgery. That's how you would describe a surgery.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Body like absess procedure. Oh, it was unexpected. He started
showing signs during the workout during the day. So this
opens a lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
So we had a medical emergency. Okay, so the on
the roster right away.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Then like, if you know he's going to have an emergency,
replace him, have another arm down. They're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Well, I guess they didn't know he was going to
have an emergency.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, my guess is it was probably after the rosters
were due.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Roberts said they did not have enough time to make
the move before yesterday's game. Obviously, having Rebelski active yesterday
would have helped avoiding Clayton Kershaw going out for the
eighth inning. This is commentary, not Dave Roberts saying that,
by the way.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Scale not great commentary, not a great look last night
for the Dodgers. But you asked yourself the question, what
else were they supposed to do? They're up in the series?
Are they going to empty the bullpen and ruin their
leverage for tonight? Perhaps to save face on Clayton Kersha.
I guess they kept figuring that he was going to
(21:17):
get out of it, but it started to become evident
that he wasn't. I mean, I thought a lot of
the air went out of the stadium when freaking Schwarber
hit it out of the pavilion on the roof, for
God's sakes. So David Vasse will join us. He has
more perspective. He's at Dodger Stadium, he's talking to people.
(21:39):
We could not make the turnaround to get back to
Dodger Stadium like we did yesterday. Full chaos.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It was full chaos yesterday. I was berated by a
parking enforcement agent.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Why what did you do? Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So you know when you try it, when you they
don't let you take a left, You got to go
all the way up over Vince Scully and don never
let you take a left. Well, there were cones missing,
so I flip a UI. So I flipped the UI
so I can then, you know, take my right there.
Oh okay, so the very right lane it says bus only,
(22:18):
So I don't go in the very right lane. I
go into the second most right lane and I've got
my signal on, and all of a sudden there's a
whole lot of cars in that lane that said bus only,
and they're making the right and the woman's yelling at
me that I've got to go straight, and I'm like,
I'm not going to the game. I'm trying to take
a ride. It says bus only, and she's screaming at me,
and then a motorcycle cop comes up and says, hey, hey, pal,
(22:42):
she's in charge. Okay, I just said I'm just trying
to take a right. Man, he says bus only, for
this lane. What do you want me to do?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I'm not you wanted to take a right to get
back through a lesion part.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, I'm like, I'm taking a right.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
And get back on the five South.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Oh no, I wanted to no, no, no, I was
taking a right to go to the one ten. You know, like,
if you're coming out of the gate to make that left,
they won't let you make and said you got to
go up and down the hill the sunset. I just
flipped a bitch on my way to sunset and tried
to make a right right when you the stadium. Yeah,
and he's yelling at me. He's like, don't you she's
she's in control. I was like, sir, I'm not yelling.
(23:19):
I'm just saying I'm trying to take a right turn
and that lane that everybody's in, said bus only, what
do you want me to do here? And then he
just kind of zipped off, and then the light turned
red and she just gave me this mean look. I
mean mean, it's a snake look. And I just bolted
on the red light and I think she yelled some
expltives at me as I peeled off.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I was just trying to like, be get the nice
hey man that just said bus only like I don't
what you want me to do here?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Angry fan in Amazda, Huh.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I wasn't angry. I was the guy that was smiling like, hey,
I'm just fine allowing the signs man.

Real Underscore DV had a fiery Dodger talk last night. Dave,
(25:54):
how's it going, what's the vibe? What a wacky night?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Well, the vibe obviously still very confident here. I thought
Mookie Bett said it best with the line of questioning
in the clubhouse after the game that the reporters were
acting like the Dodgers were down two games to one.
The Dodgers are the team that's still in very much
control of this series. They've got one win away to
go for the NLCS. The Phillies still have to win
(26:20):
two of the next three, including today, And really it's
all on Tyler Glassnow's pitching arm. Can he be as
good as the Dodgers want him to be or do
they feel like they need to score early for him?
I would say it's both. The Dodgers getting some early
runs has not happened in this series, so getting glass
(26:41):
Now in early leads certainly would be advantageous for him
pitching well today.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
How did he come out of that first game, Dave
in the bullpen, just kind of your thoughts about glass
Now in the postseason versus glass Now in the regular season.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
No, I mean he was in great spirits the day
after he pitched relief, and I mean he hadn't pitched
in all quite some time. He pitched the first or
second game of that final regular season series in Seattle,
so it had been a while since glass Now pitched,
And certainly this is the biggest test he's had as
(27:17):
a Dodger. First postseason start in a Dodger uniform. He
did not participate in last year's playoffs, So I don't
think it's overstating the fact this is the biggest start
Tyler Glass now has made for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Dave, what happened with Tanner Scott? What's the story with
Tanner Scott? And how did it happen so late to
where they couldn't get somebody else up and going.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Yeah, well, number one, if you remove a player from
a postseason roster, then you lose him for the next series.
The Dodgers did not realize how serious it was. Tanner
Scott did not realize how serious it was until yesterday,
late into the evening as the game was going on,
where they needed to get this abscess removed somewhere on
(28:07):
his lower body, and that's when they decided, all right,
now we got to make a move here. He had
a surgical procedure, We need a pitcher, we need an arm,
even though we're going to lose him for the NLCS.
So that's the reason why Robleski wasn't added before the
game yesterday and also answers a lot of the Dave
Roberts critics of why he brought Krusehat back out for
(28:28):
the eighth inning. He didn't have anybody else to pitch
in that situation. He wasn't going to bring in Vessia
or she In or Sasaki down three to one in
the eighth inning, and that's the reason. If Tanner Scott
was available, he would have pitched the eighth inning.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
So Dave to kind of I would almost say push
back on that, just based on the way Clayton looked
in the seventh and what it took him to get
out of that. You know, twenty three pitches a pickoff,
hard hit ball like that's still seen like the best
option based on the evidence we had from what the
seventh inn he looked like.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Okay, so I'll push back on you. Who would you
have brought in.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I would have brought in Emmit Shean.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Emit Shean in a losing game when you may need
him today if things go sideways with glass now.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
So essentially the answer is surrender that it's a white flag.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Yes, were to last year? Well, I mean, I'm sure
you were saying the same things when the Dodgers were
doing that in two of the NLCS games that they
won last year. It's not about just winning that one
game and compromising a better chance the next day. It's
about winning one game, and the Dodgers still had that opportunity.
They got she Hen, they got Sasaki, and they got
(29:45):
Vessie ready to go. They're in a great position today.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Do you think it would be different if it wasn't
Kershop out there getting beat up? You know, with all
the circumstance and the retirement and all that.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Do you think nobody Little Joseph was upset back in
our house. My wife was telling me watching that. I
think that's how a lot of people felt. They didn't
want to see Kershaw pitch that way. But here's something
else to take into account. Yeah, it wasn't pretty that
first inning, but Kershaw's first innings this year were his
worst innings. He had an EL of seven point fifty
(30:17):
and the first inning of starts. So you're thinking, Number one,
I don't have anybody else. Number two, you're thinking, Okay,
that was his first inning, maybe he'll come out a
little sharper for the eighth. And it just didn't work
out that way.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
So Dave tonight, all hands on deck. I assume if
that was the case last night, no issues with any
of the pitchers down in the bullpen or is there
no Bonda, no Dryer. We're just going to the this
is now that she and Vessia Tryn and Sasaki kind
of thing in the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
No.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
With a day off tomorrow, certainly Bonda and Dryer are
available again today. They've done that all season long. So yeah,
the bullpen all hands on deck. I would venture to
say the only guy not available today is Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
What about Otani, Dave and his struggles at the plate?
What has been said? What do you think will happen
tonight with him? And why is this a bit of
a trend?
Speaker 6 (31:18):
Yeah? Number one, the consensus is from Dave Roberts to
Jeff Francore, is that Otani's trying to do too much.
He's trying to homer every at that when the situation
doesn't call for it. A great example was last night
Tommy Edmund leads off the third inning against Suarez with
a home run and o'tanni swings at the first pitch.
They had Suarez possibly on the ropes right there. That
(31:40):
was a bad at that and Dave Roberts said after
the game last night he believes that O'tani's having bad
swing decisions, and that goes back to him trying to
pull everything for power. He's got to go back to
the Ottani wesa on the postseason last year, where he
let the game come to him and didn't try to
slug time up there, read and react to situation, Dave.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Has he talked to the media at all? Have you
kind of as like Otani. I don't want to say
like been grilled or anything, but has there been anything
from him?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Matt?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
He has spoken three times this postseason. He spoke during
this series twice, once before Game one, the other was
after Game two. I believe I can't remember exactly, but
I know what you're referring to. Dylan Hernandez at the
La Times approached him in the clubhouse, and that's not
(32:34):
the way the protocol goes plain and simple. Yeah, so
I don't agree with it. I think Otani should be,
you know, available, just like Freddie Freeman or Mookie Betts
or even Clayton Kershaw who had to wear it last night.
I don't think it's fair to the rest of the team.
But those are just the Otani rules.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Who pitches Game five, Dave? Before we let you go,
if there's a Game five.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Well, Dave Roberts is on the record before Game one
to say that O'tani would be the Game five pitcher.
Here's why I would go with Blake Snell. Blake Snell
has carved up the Phillies in his career. He carved
them up in September, he carved them up in Game two.
And also the fact that Otani this year has not
been as good of a hitter when when he pitches,
(33:24):
you need his back, you need us back to get
on tracks. So for those reasons, maybe the Dodgers may
reconsider that.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
All Right, David Masse, thank you, Dave, Live from Dodgers
Stadium with.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Another Hey, calm the panic, Dodgers get this win today.
I'm not not packed. I am not packing. We are
staying in LA I am going to celebrate my birthday
tomorrow in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
All right, Well, what happens if he has celebrated in
the air, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
I mean, when would you have one of those warm
old meal keys that they serve. But there you go,
that's the case.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh yeah, all right, all right, well, happy early birthday.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Thank you, and thank you for all your hard work
during this What has now become a tumultuous series.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Maybe that's their I'm here for you for the strategy talk.
Whatever you need. I can explain and push back as
the great Cash Smith.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Just reference that's right, push back on your pushback on
my pushback.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
The neighbors call him cash and seal beach.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
They do, at least at least the drunk ones do.
Thank you, Dave.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Oh, I get it took me a second. Coming up next,
we'll do a little college whip for a small respite
because I won't be on tomorrow, neither will Matt.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
We're in the air. Dave gets to stay home to
celebrate his birthday with his family, as he should.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Wow, we'll legendary.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Well, you know, I think the text o sours are right,
although I don't know what I'm gonna do with my
top story. That's very similar to what we just went
through in the opening segment. We're trying to, you know,
feel a little bit better about.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
All this, maybe trying to round out the edges. Yeah, great,
we'll be right back with Mare. It's a crunchy groove
on Thursday on the Petrosen Money Show, and the Dodgers
will try to get their groove back like Stella. When
Angela Bassett found a much younger Jamaican man, it made
(35:38):
her feel a certain kind of way and get her
groove back.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Hello, PMS listener, Did you know Am five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's
Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
That one is my favorite, Dodger.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Talk with David, the Dodger Podcast of record, Clipper Talk
without a Musk, follow us all and many more. Just
go to Am five to seventy LA Sports on the
iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Big thank you to David Bassay out there at Dodger Stadium.
First pitch, just after three o'clock, says he is planning
on spending the weekend here see if the Cubs can
continue to extend the series against the Brewers as they
got their first winning their series. That's two to one,
Milwaukee Dodgers up two to one over the Phillies. Gonna
try to close them out tonight again. First pitch just
after threeh eight pm with Tyler glassnow on the mound.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
All right, Matt, a small move away from the Dodgers
for a moment. We'll get to a little college football whipper.
Around October is the busiest sports month we have. We've
been dealing with a lot of Dodger postseason buzz, and
the Lakers are creating their share of preseason buzz as well.
(37:01):
And we should add the NHL regular season just began
the other night. Congratulations to Samba Tech Wadey Go Betech,
plus the Rams and Chargers both lost games at SOFI
last week. And through all the hustle and bustle of
(37:23):
these four pro sports colliding on the calendar, a very
important college sports story slipped through the cracks earlier this week.
Oh no, well, we talked about it.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
The NCAA officially announced Tuesday that college football will only
have one transfer portal window from now on. That window
will be January two through the sixteenth. That gives football
players fifteen days to enter the transfer portal. Previously, there
was a December window and a Spring window, which made
(37:54):
no sense. It led to unnecessary chaos for the coaches,
the personnel staffs, and the players. Remember the players skipping
out on their team bowl practices the last few years.
This decision gives some power and sanity back to the schools.
(38:15):
A couple exceptions to keep in mind for football players
whose teams are still playing on the College Football Playoff.
When the portal window opens up, they'll have five days
after their team plays its final game day end of
the portal. Maybe UCLA will make it. Now that they've
won a game. I can see that players will have
fifteen days to the end of the portal after coaching changes.
(38:37):
It used to be thirty. So it's one of the
best things the NCAA has done for college football in
a long time. Football programs find it easier to build
teams this way, and the details will be less confusing
for fans and for the media. Last week's picks were
(38:57):
four and two, nineteen and thirteen overall and twenty twenty five.
Taking Penn State as a twenty four and a half
point favorite was my mistake and I'm sorry. I got
a lucky cover when TCU somehow covered the thirteen and
a half spread against Colorado. I mean, you're up twenty
eight twenty one with fourth and six and the Colorado nineteen.
(39:18):
With twenty five seconds left in the game, Sonny Dykes
throws to the end zone. Thanks Sonny. TCU won thirty
five to twenty one.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Oh half the people are like thank you. The other
half son of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Without further ado, let's get to this week's Pete picks
in the college football Wi WO number one, Ohio State
five and OHO at number seventeen, Illinois five and one
nine am Fox. The Buckeyes are favored by fourteen and
a half. They will win this big noon game. But
(39:54):
in honor of my Kunado Simon, who is an Illinois grad,
I'm taking I L L I NI plus fourteen and
a half flat wow. I love the way they ran
the ball against USC and through it number eighteen Alabama
four and one at number fourteen Miszoo five and oh
(40:18):
MISSOO nine am on ABC tied favored by three and
a half. Eli Dinkwitz MC, he didn't say it, z Ou,
he didn't say it again. He deserves credit, though, yes,
for turning Miszoo into a consistent program, even though Kates
(40:39):
did not enjoy his interview. They win nine or ten
games every year. But I like the debourne again angle
on Kaylin de Boor and his quarterback who's now in
the Heisman favorite seat. Bama minus the three and a
half on the road in Colombia, flat black DWAT number
(41:05):
seven Indiana five and Oh at number three, Oregon five,
and Oh this is a.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Huge game, Oh Hoosiers.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Twelve thirty on CBS. Ducks favored by seven and a half.
The story of this game is the elite quarterback play
by i u's Fernando Mendoza and Organ's Dante More. They're
former West Coast types. Mendoza and More are currently one
(41:36):
in two in the Heisman race, and they're running one
and two at the top of the twenty twenty six
MOX Draft. I'm taking Indiana plus seven and a halflat
Black flat, although Organ's trying to call themselves that team
(41:57):
out West, and I don't think it's taking well.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
At least somebody out West is winning.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Washington. Washington came back and beat Maryland that number six,
Oklahoma's five, and Oh versus Texas three and two twelve
thirty on ABC, Sooner's favored by a point and a half.
Quarterbacks are also the key in the Red River rivalry,
but it's not quite Mendoza More. Archie Manning struggled in
(42:30):
Gainesville last week. Despite three years of spring ball in
three years of fall camp with the same coach, arch
looks lost on a lot of his dropbacks, forget the
wins and losses. He's not playing with very much confidence
right now. You old guys should remember that current Texas
coach Steve Sarkisian was the USC quarterback coach who helped
(42:53):
Norm Chow, fix Carson Palmer and to develop Matt Liner.
Sark haads the Bonum fights to figure this out and
all indications of that. Oklahoma quarterback John Matteir will play
three weeks after breaking his left hand against Auburn. He
was leading the Heisman odds when he went down, and
(43:13):
here's hoping he's a full go. On Saturday, the Texas
three and two record is soft losses to powerful Ohio
State and struggling Florida. Starkisian said something like, I don't
know who was going to go to Gainesville and win
that game. It's like, well, South Florida went there and
won the other day.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Much closer, you know, don't have to got their rigors
of travel.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Texas wins are over a UTEP and Sam Houston. Despite
all that, I'm gonna take the Longhorns plus point and
a half because my tears is going to be rusty
thwack number twenty one, Arizona State four and one at
(43:57):
Utah four and one fifteen on ESPN, the Utes are
favored by four and a half points. It's a tasty
Big twelve showdown and the winner will be atop the
Big twelve with BYU, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. I like
utahd rice ecles under the lights, Give me the Utes
(44:19):
minus four and a half flackety thlat Michigan four and
one at USC four and one four point thirty nine.
BC Trojans are favored by two and a half. Michigan
(44:41):
coach Charon Moore told the media this week that this
game is a sellout at the Coliseum because Michigan is
a big draw. True, that is the truth. Congrats to
more for hyping up the game. Coming off of bye week.
USC coach Lincoln Riley was still complaining to the media
about a possible misholding call from Illinois two weeks earlier.
(45:05):
This game, like doubl Dare, will be more of a
physical challenge for USC than Illinois, and they failed the
physical challenge against Illinois. Of course it was on the road,
but I will take Michigan plus two and a half.
Go Blue. UCLA is one and four at Michigan State
(45:28):
three and two, nine AM Big Ten Network. Spartan's favored
by eight and a half. Early call for UCLA and
East Lansing. Very important game for both teams. Very important
team for UCLA to prove they're not the team that
lost to New Mexico. And there's a chance the Bruins
could even come out a little too over confident. But
(45:50):
I do like what Tim Skipper has done so far.
I like the way Nico played last week, made some
really incredible throws. I'm taking you CLA plus eight and
a half pours up out. That's right, Matt. Last week,
(46:10):
the off the menu prop was a winner at Fresno State,
posting a narrow twenty seven victory in the Valley as
they honored the fortieth anniversary of the undefeated nineteen eighty
five Bulldogs. This week, my prop will be the Dodgers
needing five games to knock off the Phillies. I'm worried
(46:32):
the Dodgers will lose tonight but then win Saturday with
Otani delivering a dominant pitching performance that has now rocked
my world because David Vasse just lobbied for Blake Snell
to start Game five.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Yeah, I can kind of see where he's coming from.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
You know, sounds like you're one that has seen the light.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
I think I have.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
Let me walk in like a rooster.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Bigs now seven innings.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
So we'll reset the picks, just taking two favorites this
week Alabama and Utah minus the points. Five dogs, Illinois, Indiana, Texas,
Michigan and UCLA all plus the points. Despruits and Los Wuegos.
Everybody enjoy the games, and we'll get back to Dodger
(47:29):
fanfare and getting ready for Morocco Casino. Dodgers on deck
starting at two o'clock with Tim.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Kats Beautiful nineteen and thirteen. Huh yeah, pretty damn good.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
College football is pretty pretty crazy. Yeah it is, but
not as tight. What are going through? I gotta travel
to Gainesville. Who could be expected to win that game?
It's not like we were the number one consensus starting
the season. Good luck to everybody involved, and I'll be
(48:10):
calling Little Noon God willing Cincinnati versus Central Florida. Cincinnati
one of the better teams in the Big twelve, maybe
the best. They stormed the field last week when they
beat an undefeated Iowa State team. So I will be
live at Nippert Stadium what they call the NIP at
(48:32):
nine am on FS one on Saturday. We'll be right
back with your word number and song of the day.

(02:26):
you out at the stadium. It's Dodgers dot com slash
postseason for tickets. They want you out there. They want
you geeked up. I heard it was a pretty good
environment last night, just things right away from the Dodgers
and people got upset, and then of course TBS really
leaned into the fans leaving and the parking lot being
(02:50):
full on the way out. Our guest Brian Anderson had
a little bit of fun with that, but he also
really labored watching his friend Clayton Kershaw on the mound,
laboring as well.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, that wasn't cool. That was not and I'm sure
we can get into it throughout the course of the show.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's you know, just to give you a preview of
what we're gonna do in about an hour and a half, Like,
didn't we just do this in twenty nineteen? Did we
not just do this in twenty nineteen? Kershaw comes out
of the bullpen, gets a huge out, saving Walker Buehler,
maintaining a three to one lead against the Nationals, and
every single person at Dodger Stadium when they saw him
(03:34):
emerge from the dugout to come back out to pitch
the age was like, wait a minute, are we doing?
Why is he coming back out to pitch the eight
exact same situation yesterday, comes out of the bullpen. Place
is going bananas. It's still three to one, you still
have that lineup? He freaking labors through the seventh inning.
I mean labors. He got a freaking pickoff, play a
(03:55):
pickle to get you an out to get out of
that thing with twenty five pick and you send him
back out there for the eighth Like, what in what
world are you living in? There is not a single
person in that stadium that thought that was a good idea,
not one.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
What was the sentiment on scam this morning, Tim regarding
that thing that seems to be very, very controversial on
social media and on the more traditional networks about Kershaw
going back out there for the eighth.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, not a lot of Dodger fans wanted to see
Clayton Kershaw back out there for the eighth, But under
the circumstances, no Tanner Scott, which is another thing to
think about and talk about as well, maybe you need
to replace him on the roster if he's not able
to go out and pitch and not even with the
team right now because of personal reasons. So we hope
everything's okay, certainly, but you need another arm in the bullpen.
Why not go to Blake trying in the eighth inn?
(04:47):
It's a three to one game. You got to keep
it closed, are you punting for Game four? Are you
banking on your offense not going to get any outrun
production the final nine outs that they have to try
to get into this game? What are you playing for
it that twenty three pitches three pitches opens with a
single then a walk like it's It's not like it
was a let is Dave always say to us it
(05:08):
wasn't a stressful inning.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
That was a stressful inning. I mean, people's buttles were
freaking puckered the whole time he was out there. And
the fact that he got out of it with two
on and no oubt and all of Dodger Stadium is
going crazy when he gets out of that jam. Now,
the offense did nothing to help that out. The way
it was kind of authored is he gets out of
the jam, goes into the dugout Rojas edmund Otani, you
(05:32):
get a single here on Otani home run. Maybe he's
decided he doesn't want to hit anymore. And now you've
got your storybook ending. You know, you bring in Shean
or Trinan and Sasaki and you win the game and
you win the series. But the bats weren't cooperative. It
wasn't the only reason they lost that game. It's just Look,
(05:52):
there's no reason to feel bad for the guy. He's
had one of the greatest careers in the history of baseball.
But man, what a what a what a bummer for him.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
It was a terrible thing to watch, There's no doubt
about it. Today is a new day and there is
hope in the air.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Hopeful music at noon, Hopeful music at noon.

There's a sick feeling in the hearts of the people
(07:09):
because they saw Tommy Edmund's home run. Then they saw
the Dodgers' inability to capitalize. They saw the Phillies do
some things. They saw the Phillies' inability to capitalize. But
when they put Clayton Kershaw back out there for the
eighth inning, Matt, I don't know what that does. I
(07:32):
don't know emotionally what that means. I don't know if
the Dodgers are going to need to recover themselves emotionally. Obviously,
it's the baseball playoffs. You have to be able to
take a punch and stand back up and live with it.
And of course Kershaw is not a very high leverage
(07:53):
pitcher at this point, and they got out of the
situation the way they needed to huge to get out
of that, but they put him back out there, and
of course there were questions and answers about it, and
Tonight's New Night, and look who's going tonight, Matt, your
favorite guy.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Hey, welcome to the postseason, Tyler Glass. Now with your
one hundred and forty million dollar deal, your trade of
prospects and players.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And you've come out of the bullpen, Matt, he has.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But I mean, like this is much like we said
with Snell, you know in his postseason track record, this
is an opportunity for you to silence all the critics,
to have a lineup behind you, to have a team
behind you that's going to deliver the victories that you deserve,
and Snell certainly deserved that he just wasn't able to
put it together, whether or he was getting pulled early
(08:44):
by managers or as Dave told us, had corner outfielders
that weren't cooperating defensively. He proved exactly what Dave said, Hey,
this is one of the best pitchers in baseball. He
just needs to have the right team behind him. And man,
he's been sensational. And I think this goes for Glass
now when they made the trade for him, what was said,
this is a guy who when he's healthy, has got
(09:05):
some of the best stuff in baseball. So last time
I checked, he's healthy. Let's see the stuff, you know,
because Christopher Sanchez probably going to finish either second or
third and sy Young voting along with Yamamoto, and he's
going to be back on the mound after shutting the
Dodgers offense down until that sixth inning in Philadelphia, and
you're probably gonna have to match him pitch for pitch,
(09:27):
you know, like Blake Snell and like jo Haeo Tani
did their counterparts or else.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You know, Hey, I know that Dave Roberts said something
about leaving Clayton Kershaw out there in the eighth I
know that a lot of people had a lot to
say about it. Kate's what was the general sentiment from
Dave Roberts when it comes to leaving Clayton Kershaw out
there in the eighth and what upset everybody? Because I mean,
(09:57):
I heard Fred say that the crowd wasn't into it
last night, that they needed more energy the he else
he talking about. I'm pretty sure the crowd was really
honest I've ever heard. I think the eighth inning was
a gut punch to everybody. Weren't you in the pavilion
last night, Tim, shouldn't you have gone home?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I was heading the pavilion for about three and a
half innings. I was there in left field when Tommy
pavilion or Tommy hadn't hit the home run in the pavilion.
I was on that concourse that goes all the way
around where you guys used to do the show temporarily
there in centerfield. There's that walkway, it's the back right
behind the back row, and it was packed.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And the pavilion last night, guys was.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Absolutely rock and they were standing the entire time left field,
right field, there was a drummer in right field.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Somebody had a whistle.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
It sounded like a soccer game out there doing chance
and they were leading the way and they were leading
the crowd. Anytime Yamamoto had two strikes on a hitter,
it was the pavilion yesterday that got the rest of
the stadium on their feed to get in for the
final strike. They were the ones getting the whole crowd
into the game last night. It was awesome to see
(11:04):
what they were doing, and the crowd was into it.
It was sold out, fifty nine thousand. Everybody was there
and that place was electric. They were waiting for the
Dodgers to score. They were waiting to celebrate. They were
waiting for the Dodgers to do something, and they were
helping out as best they could. The crowd was not
The crowd was awesome last I don't know what Fred's
talking about.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It was electric.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
And we've been to hundreds of games, hundreds of playoff
games as well, dozens. Ice to say, I've never seen
anything that electric as far as the pavilion get everybody going.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So that ren's counter to what was said the hour prior.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh, when you sit and watch them on TV, you
know it's a little different than me and there, well,
I could feel it through the TV.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
I absolutely could feel it. You could hear the crowd,
you could see him, you could see how packed it was,
you could see everybody standing up. The bats did nothing
to help the crowd out, As you said, they went
silent last night when you got Aaron Nola giving him
a free two innings the top of your order. Inexcusable,
but you know that, and yet the crowd was still
(12:05):
in it. You know, crowd was still in it. How
can you say the crowd wasn't into it when Clayton
Kershark gets a standing ovation and that place is going
crazy at the top of the seventh going into the
bottom of the seventh after he got out of that jam.
I mean that might have been the loudest the crowd
was all night.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
When did TBS show people leaving when it was eight
to one and what the eighth or ninth inning?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
What do you expect? Well, it's I mean, it's a
national broadcast and it's a La trope.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Oh so that's the narrative. Oh, fans leave early, look
their teams losing. It's eight to freaking one, guys, And that.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Would happen in any Major League Baseball state stadium in
the country, and nobody wants to watch their hero who's
had such a great year carried out on his shield,
or such a great year of celebration and such a
great year of memories being brought up and good feelings
and all that stuff, and then to have a flame
(13:00):
or were taken to it last night like it did.
Not that the season's over or anything like that, But
you wonder what it means for the future. And I
wonder if Dave Roberts considered the emotional toll it would
take on the team to just let Clayton Kershaw out
there to be bludgeted. I don't know if there was
(13:21):
something else that's a great point done or not done,
But I don't know what did they say about it.
At the end of the game. I went to sleep.
I mean, I can't believe.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, you go get him, Go get him after the
home run when it's four to one. Clearly he didn't
have it in that inning before. He was just getting
through on guts, you know, in competitiveness. And when that
first home run is hit immediately at the top of
the eighth, go get him immediately, Like you said, at
least you're not humiliating him like, well, we're just going
(13:53):
to leave you out there, you know, save the bullpen
for tomorrow. It's not I mean, no offense to Jack
dry It's not Jack Dryer out there. It's freaking Clayton Kershaw.
And to leave him out there to stealing a mess
is not cool. I mean that was really really not cool.
(14:15):
Like it as you can tell it. Just the moment
he walked out of the dugout, I was like, what
the hell are we doing? How does this make sense
to anybody? And then just and you know, and I'm
sure a lot of it is Kershaw. Is that guy
like you want to go back out there? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I do.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Well, that's up to you to say. Eh, I just
watched the last twenty three pitches. Let's just you know what,
what a great moment. The place is still pumping. We
got we're down to certainly not been a huge deficit
for this offense to overcome. The Bats have been silent
for seven innings, but maybe they can wake up in
the eighth and ninth, and man, what then you get
(14:56):
the guys you know in they're the low leverage guys
in there, and it's just now you go Duran on
a night's rest instead of him having to go out
there to save in the ninth. And it's just it's
a complete It's not saying they're not gonna win this
game today. I firmly believe they're still the favorites to
win this game today. But man, what a bad look
last night in the eighth inning.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
If you don't win today, you got to go back
to the sharp teeth of Philadelphia and get chewed up
like a shark. Here is Dave Roberts on the decision
making with Clayton Kersher.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
If it was Clayton's first time out of the bullpen
in the postseason since I believe twenty nineteen, what did
you see out of him and this stuff?
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Yeah, it was just uh well yeah on the postseason. Yeah,
he just didn't have a great slider tonight.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So I'm gonna send it back out there.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Then I think, you know, Clayton pitched off a slider,
and you know, so when the slider's not their depthy teeth,
he and then the fastball command he is working behind too,
So yeah, that just the command wasn't there tonight, So.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I'm gonna send him back out in the eighth if
that's if that's your answer, you saw that in the
seventh and it's a three to one game and you're
gonna send him back out there in the eighth, Like,
how how does that reconcile?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Here is Mookie bats a team leader on the Dodgers
and the shortstop and the man that called the wheel play.
We imagine on how hard it was to stand out
there and watch Clayton Kershaw get bunked around like a
like a log in a river.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
How did school to apologies if someone asked this on
the way back there, how did school was it to
watch a guy like Kershaw with all that he's gone
to kind of struggle on the big staate like.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
This, I mean, my little lit it's hard to watch.
But you know, we can't use two innings ASTs he's
gonna have a statue and he's hard to Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
So so you had.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
To kind of keep that in mind and and understand
that in the grants kin of things, Kershaw is the
first out Hall of Famer, one of the best pitchers
to ever do it. So if you two innings kind
of ruined that, then you don't.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Know baseball last night?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay, Yeah, didn't have to be two innings, It could
have been one inning. And how great was it to
have Kershaw come out of the bullpen see Dodger Stadium
get electric? And then when he got that out and
walked off and kept you guys and they get that's
the that's the question you should have been asking, especially
when your manager says the slider didn't have bite and
he didn't have fastball command.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So what do they do? Though? If Tanner Scott's not
available and the eighth innings sitting there? What do you
do if you can't? I mean, what what was Dave Roberts?
What could he have done.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
To put in she in? Right? I mean, certainly could
have put in em at Sheen, who had a pretty
damn good two innings, you know, three two nights prior, Like,
I don't know why, I don't know why there there'd
be any issues with him having any sort of fatigue?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Right? Is there something about leaving Kershaw out there for
two innings that gives the Dodgers more leverage? I'm not
talking about emotionally, I'm talking about personnel wise that gives
them more leverage tonight as far as their pitching plan
goes against Sanchez.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
I mean, yeah, you have she In tonight. Right, If
Glassnow's not going to be able to go seven, let's
say you can only you know, last night Yamamoto did
not help them out at all by having his worst
start in a month and a half and only going four.
So you know, I would assume tonight the hope is
that Glassnow can go six or seven. You get she
(18:38):
In to go one or two and Sasaki in the ninth,
and that's how you get out of this thing and
not have to go back to Citizens Bank for the
weekend and play a game five and try to avoid
becoming just the fourth team to lose a series up
to nothing when you win the first two games on
the road.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Now, I'm getting a lot of texts saying, you guys
are putting out a bad vibe for today, wankers. That
was yesterday, you Debbie downers. Let's go Dodgers. Okay, And
that's cool, correct, we read the ticket promo. But what
do you want us to do? I mean, we've spent
the last month celebrating Clayton Kershaw reading poems that his
(19:17):
wife wrote on the air, having that wonderful moment in Seattle,
all that different stuff, and then he's just out there
being pumbled and tortured live on TBS while his personal
friend from Texas, Brian Anderson, is trying to keep it
(19:38):
together on the air.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Yes, Tim, we do have some Dodger news. David Vesse
will be on with you guys in about ten minutes.
But Dave Roberts is speaking to the media right now
and revealed that Tanner Scott has been removed from the
Dodgers NLDS roster and replaced by fellow left hander Justin Robleski. Now,
apparently Tanner's Scott had a lower body incision last night
(20:05):
and so he was not available.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Now he's not himself.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Well wait a minute, Like an incision is something that
occurs in surgery. That's how you would describe a surgery.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Body like absess procedure. Oh, it was unexpected. He started
showing signs during the workout during the day. So this
opens a lot of questions.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
So we had a medical emergency. Okay, so the on
the roster right away.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Then like, if you know he's going to have an emergency,
replace him, have another arm down. They're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Well, I guess they didn't know he was going to
have an emergency.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, my guess is it was probably after the rosters
were due.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Roberts said they did not have enough time to make
the move before yesterday's game. Obviously, having Rebelski active yesterday
would have helped avoiding Clayton Kershaw going out for the
eighth inning. This is commentary, not Dave Roberts saying that,
by the way.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Scale not great commentary, not a great look last night
for the Dodgers. But you asked yourself the question, what
else were they supposed to do? They're up in the series?
Are they going to empty the bullpen and ruin their
leverage for tonight? Perhaps to save face on Clayton Kersha.
I guess they kept figuring that he was going to
(21:17):
get out of it, but it started to become evident
that he wasn't. I mean, I thought a lot of
the air went out of the stadium when freaking Schwarber
hit it out of the pavilion on the roof, for
God's sakes. So David Vasse will join us. He has
more perspective. He's at Dodger Stadium, he's talking to people.
(21:39):
We could not make the turnaround to get back to
Dodger Stadium like we did yesterday. Full chaos.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It was full chaos yesterday. I was berated by a
parking enforcement agent.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Why what did you do? Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So you know when you try it, when you they
don't let you take a left, You got to go
all the way up over Vince Scully and don never
let you take a left. Well, there were cones missing,
so I flip a UI. So I flipped the UI
so I can then, you know, take my right there.
Oh okay, so the very right lane it says bus only,
(22:18):
So I don't go in the very right lane. I
go into the second most right lane and I've got
my signal on, and all of a sudden there's a
whole lot of cars in that lane that said bus only,
and they're making the right and the woman's yelling at
me that I've got to go straight, and I'm like,
I'm not going to the game. I'm trying to take
a ride. It says bus only, and she's screaming at me,
and then a motorcycle cop comes up and says, hey, hey, pal,
(22:42):
she's in charge. Okay, I just said I'm just trying
to take a right. Man, he says bus only, for
this lane. What do you want me to do?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I'm not you wanted to take a right to get
back through a lesion part.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Yeah, I'm like, I'm taking a right.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
And get back on the five South.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Oh no, I wanted to no, no, no, I was
taking a right to go to the one ten. You know, like,
if you're coming out of the gate to make that left,
they won't let you make and said you got to
go up and down the hill the sunset. I just
flipped a bitch on my way to sunset and tried
to make a right right when you the stadium. Yeah,
and he's yelling at me. He's like, don't you she's
she's in control. I was like, sir, I'm not yelling.
(23:19):
I'm just saying I'm trying to take a right turn
and that lane that everybody's in, said bus only, what
do you want me to do here? And then he
just kind of zipped off, and then the light turned
red and she just gave me this mean look. I
mean mean, it's a snake look. And I just bolted
on the red light and I think she yelled some
expltives at me as I peeled off.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I was just trying to like, be get the nice
hey man that just said bus only like I don't
what you want me to do here?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Angry fan in Amazda, Huh.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I wasn't angry. I was the guy that was smiling like, hey,
I'm just fine allowing the signs man.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
And you're not even a fan. You're a broadcaster. That's right,
a broadcast or David Vase will join us next, we'll
try to hold our heads up. Dodgers Phillies tonight, three
oh eight, first pitch, strap up.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
This is the Vass Report with David Vasse.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
He wasn't beating the drama of the pavilion with Kates,
but he was all over it last night and things
got ugly for the Dodgers, in particular the Bats and
Clayton Kershaw in the eighth inning. David Vasse, our Dodger
reporter Spectrum Sports and at LA MLB Network at the
Real Underscore DV had a fiery Dodger talk last night. Dave,
(25:54):
how's it going, what's the vibe? What a wacky night?
Speaker 6 (25:59):
Well, the vibe obviously still very confident here. I thought
Mookie Bett said it best with the line of questioning
in the clubhouse after the game that the reporters were
acting like the Dodgers were down two games to one.
The Dodgers are the team that's still in very much
control of this series. They've got one win away to
go for the NLCS. The Phillies still have to win
(26:20):
two of the next three, including today, And really it's
all on Tyler Glassnow's pitching arm. Can he be as
good as the Dodgers want him to be or do
they feel like they need to score early for him?
I would say it's both. The Dodgers getting some early
runs has not happened in this series, so getting glass
(26:41):
Now in early leads certainly would be advantageous for him
pitching well today.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
How did he come out of that first game, Dave
in the bullpen, just kind of your thoughts about glass
Now in the postseason versus glass Now in the regular season.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
No, I mean he was in great spirits the day
after he pitched relief, and I mean he hadn't pitched
in all quite some time. He pitched the first or
second game of that final regular season series in Seattle,
so it had been a while since glass Now pitched,
And certainly this is the biggest test he's had as
(27:17):
a Dodger. First postseason start in a Dodger uniform. He
did not participate in last year's playoffs, So I don't
think it's overstating the fact this is the biggest start
Tyler Glass now has made for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Dave, what happened with Tanner Scott? What's the story with
Tanner Scott? And how did it happen so late to
where they couldn't get somebody else up and going.
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Yeah, well, number one, if you remove a player from
a postseason roster, then you lose him for the next series.
The Dodgers did not realize how serious it was. Tanner
Scott did not realize how serious it was until yesterday,
late into the evening as the game was going on,
where they needed to get this abscess removed somewhere on
(28:07):
his lower body, and that's when they decided, all right,
now we got to make a move here. He had
a surgical procedure, We need a pitcher, we need an arm,
even though we're going to lose him for the NLCS.
So that's the reason why Robleski wasn't added before the
game yesterday and also answers a lot of the Dave
Roberts critics of why he brought Krusehat back out for
(28:28):
the eighth inning. He didn't have anybody else to pitch
in that situation. He wasn't going to bring in Vessia
or she In or Sasaki down three to one in
the eighth inning, and that's the reason. If Tanner Scott
was available, he would have pitched the eighth inning.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
So Dave to kind of I would almost say push
back on that, just based on the way Clayton looked
in the seventh and what it took him to get
out of that. You know, twenty three pitches a pickoff,
hard hit ball like that's still seen like the best
option based on the evidence we had from what the
seventh inn he looked like.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Okay, so I'll push back on you. Who would you
have brought in.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I would have brought in Emmit Shean.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Emit Shean in a losing game when you may need
him today if things go sideways with glass now.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
So essentially the answer is surrender that it's a white flag.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Yes, were to last year? Well, I mean, I'm sure
you were saying the same things when the Dodgers were
doing that in two of the NLCS games that they
won last year. It's not about just winning that one
game and compromising a better chance the next day. It's
about winning one game, and the Dodgers still had that opportunity.
They got she Hen, they got Sasaki, and they got
(29:45):
Vessie ready to go. They're in a great position today.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Do you think it would be different if it wasn't
Kershop out there getting beat up? You know, with all
the circumstance and the retirement and all that.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Do you think nobody Little Joseph was upset back in
our house. My wife was telling me watching that. I
think that's how a lot of people felt. They didn't
want to see Kershaw pitch that way. But here's something
else to take into account. Yeah, it wasn't pretty that
first inning, but Kershaw's first innings this year were his
worst innings. He had an EL of seven point fifty
(30:17):
and the first inning of starts. So you're thinking, Number one,
I don't have anybody else. Number two, you're thinking, Okay,
that was his first inning, maybe he'll come out a
little sharper for the eighth. And it just didn't work
out that way.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
So Dave tonight, all hands on deck. I assume if
that was the case last night, no issues with any
of the pitchers down in the bullpen or is there
no Bonda, no Dryer. We're just going to the this
is now that she and Vessia Tryn and Sasaki kind
of thing in the bullpen.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
No.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
With a day off tomorrow, certainly Bonda and Dryer are
available again today. They've done that all season long. So yeah,
the bullpen all hands on deck. I would venture to
say the only guy not available today is Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
What about Otani, Dave and his struggles at the plate?
What has been said? What do you think will happen
tonight with him? And why is this a bit of
a trend?
Speaker 6 (31:18):
Yeah? Number one, the consensus is from Dave Roberts to
Jeff Francore, is that Otani's trying to do too much.
He's trying to homer every at that when the situation
doesn't call for it. A great example was last night
Tommy Edmund leads off the third inning against Suarez with
a home run and o'tanni swings at the first pitch.
They had Suarez possibly on the ropes right there. That
(31:40):
was a bad at that and Dave Roberts said after
the game last night he believes that O'tani's having bad
swing decisions, and that goes back to him trying to
pull everything for power. He's got to go back to
the Ottani wesa on the postseason last year, where he
let the game come to him and didn't try to
slug time up there, read and react to situation, Dave.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Has he talked to the media at all? Have you
kind of as like Otani. I don't want to say
like been grilled or anything, but has there been anything
from him?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Matt?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
He has spoken three times this postseason. He spoke during
this series twice, once before Game one, the other was
after Game two. I believe I can't remember exactly, but
I know what you're referring to. Dylan Hernandez at the
La Times approached him in the clubhouse, and that's not
(32:34):
the way the protocol goes plain and simple. Yeah, so
I don't agree with it. I think Otani should be,
you know, available, just like Freddie Freeman or Mookie Betts
or even Clayton Kershaw who had to wear it last night.
I don't think it's fair to the rest of the team.
But those are just the Otani rules.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Who pitches Game five, Dave? Before we let you go,
if there's a Game five.
Speaker 6 (33:02):
Well, Dave Roberts is on the record before Game one
to say that O'tani would be the Game five pitcher.
Here's why I would go with Blake Snell. Blake Snell
has carved up the Phillies in his career. He carved
them up in September, he carved them up in Game two.
And also the fact that Otani this year has not
been as good of a hitter when when he pitches,
(33:24):
you need his back, you need us back to get
on tracks. So for those reasons, maybe the Dodgers may
reconsider that.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
All Right, David Masse, thank you, Dave, Live from Dodgers
Stadium with.
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Another Hey, calm the panic, Dodgers get this win today.
I'm not not packed. I am not packing. We are
staying in LA I am going to celebrate my birthday
tomorrow in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
All right, Well, what happens if he has celebrated in
the air, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
I mean, when would you have one of those warm
old meal keys that they serve. But there you go,
that's the case.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh yeah, all right, all right, well, happy early birthday.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Thank you, and thank you for all your hard work
during this What has now become a tumultuous series.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
Maybe that's their I'm here for you for the strategy talk.
Whatever you need. I can explain and push back as
the great Cash Smith.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Just reference that's right, push back on your pushback on
my pushback.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
The neighbors call him cash and seal beach.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
They do, at least at least the drunk ones do.
Thank you, Dave.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Oh, I get it took me a second. Coming up next,
we'll do a little college whip for a small respite
because I won't be on tomorrow, neither will Matt.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
We're in the air. Dave gets to stay home to
celebrate his birthday with his family, as he should.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Wow, we'll legendary.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Well, you know, I think the text o sours are right,
although I don't know what I'm gonna do with my
top story. That's very similar to what we just went
through in the opening segment. We're trying to, you know,
feel a little bit better about.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
All this, maybe trying to round out the edges. Yeah, great,
we'll be right back with Mare. It's a crunchy groove
on Thursday on the Petrosen Money Show, and the Dodgers
will try to get their groove back like Stella. When
Angela Bassett found a much younger Jamaican man, it made
(35:38):
her feel a certain kind of way and get her
groove back.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Hello, PMS listener, Did you know Am five seventy LA
Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts. There's
Rogan and Rodney.
Speaker 3 (35:58):

Speaker 1 (35:59):

without a Musk, follow us all and many more. Just
go to Am five to seventy LA Sports on the
iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Big thank you to David Bassay out there at Dodger Stadium.
First pitch, just after three o'clock, says he is planning
on spending the weekend here see if the Cubs can
continue to extend the series against the Brewers as they
got their first winning their series. That's two to one,
Milwaukee Dodgers up two to one over the Phillies. Gonna
try to close them out tonight again. First pitch just
after threeh eight pm with Tyler glassnow on the mound.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
All right, Matt, a small move away from the Dodgers
for a moment. We'll get to a little college football whipper.
Around October is the busiest sports month we have. We've
been dealing with a lot of Dodger postseason buzz, and
the Lakers are creating their share of preseason buzz as well.
(37:01):
And we should add the NHL regular season just began
the other night. Congratulations to Samba Tech Wadey Go Betech,
plus the Rams and Chargers both lost games at SOFI
last week. And through all the hustle and bustle of
(37:23):
these four pro sports colliding on the calendar, a very
important college sports story slipped through the cracks earlier this week.
Oh no, well, we talked about it.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
The NCAA officially announced Tuesday that college football will only
have one transfer portal window from now on. That window
will be January two through the sixteenth. That gives football
players fifteen days to enter the transfer portal. Previously, there
was a December window and a Spring window, which made
(37:54):
no sense. It led to unnecessary chaos for the coaches,
the personnel staffs, and the players. Remember the players skipping
out on their team bowl practices the last few years.
This decision gives some power and sanity back to the schools.
(38:15):
A couple exceptions to keep in mind for football players
whose teams are still playing on the College Football Playoff.
When the portal window opens up, they'll have five days
after their team plays its final game day end of
the portal. Maybe UCLA will make it. Now that they've
won a game. I can see that players will have
fifteen days to the end of the portal after coaching changes.
(38:37):
It used to be thirty. So it's one of the
best things the NCAA has done for college football in
a long time. Football programs find it easier to build
teams this way, and the details will be less confusing
for fans and for the media. Last week's picks were
(38:57):
four and two, nineteen and thirteen overall and twenty twenty five.
Taking Penn State as a twenty four and a half
point favorite was my mistake and I'm sorry. I got
a lucky cover when TCU somehow covered the thirteen and
a half spread against Colorado. I mean, you're up twenty
eight twenty one with fourth and six and the Colorado nineteen.
(39:18):
With twenty five seconds left in the game, Sonny Dykes
throws to the end zone. Thanks Sonny. TCU won thirty
five to twenty one.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Oh half the people are like thank you. The other
half son of a bitch.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Without further ado, let's get to this week's Pete picks
in the college football Wi WO number one, Ohio State
five and OHO at number seventeen, Illinois five and one
nine am Fox. The Buckeyes are favored by fourteen and
a half. They will win this big noon game. But
(39:54):
in honor of my Kunado Simon, who is an Illinois grad,
I'm taking I L L I NI plus fourteen and
a half flat wow. I love the way they ran
the ball against USC and through it number eighteen Alabama
four and one at number fourteen Miszoo five and oh
(40:18):
MISSOO nine am on ABC tied favored by three and
a half. Eli Dinkwitz MC, he didn't say it, z Ou,
he didn't say it again. He deserves credit, though, yes,
for turning Miszoo into a consistent program, even though Kates
(40:39):
did not enjoy his interview. They win nine or ten
games every year. But I like the debourne again angle
on Kaylin de Boor and his quarterback who's now in
the Heisman favorite seat. Bama minus the three and a
half on the road in Colombia, flat black DWAT number
(41:05):
seven Indiana five and Oh at number three, Oregon five,
and Oh this is a.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Huge game, Oh Hoosiers.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
Twelve thirty on CBS. Ducks favored by seven and a half.
The story of this game is the elite quarterback play
by i u's Fernando Mendoza and Organ's Dante More. They're
former West Coast types. Mendoza and More are currently one
(41:36):
in two in the Heisman race, and they're running one
and two at the top of the twenty twenty six
MOX Draft. I'm taking Indiana plus seven and a halflat
Black flat, although Organ's trying to call themselves that team
(41:57):
out West, and I don't think it's taking well.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
At least somebody out West is winning.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Washington. Washington came back and beat Maryland that number six,
Oklahoma's five, and Oh versus Texas three and two twelve
thirty on ABC, Sooner's favored by a point and a half.
Quarterbacks are also the key in the Red River rivalry,
but it's not quite Mendoza More. Archie Manning struggled in
(42:30):
Gainesville last week. Despite three years of spring ball in
three years of fall camp with the same coach, arch
looks lost on a lot of his dropbacks, forget the
wins and losses. He's not playing with very much confidence
right now. You old guys should remember that current Texas
coach Steve Sarkisian was the USC quarterback coach who helped
(42:53):
Norm Chow, fix Carson Palmer and to develop Matt Liner.
Sark haads the Bonum fights to figure this out and
all indications of that. Oklahoma quarterback John Matteir will play
three weeks after breaking his left hand against Auburn. He
was leading the Heisman odds when he went down, and
(43:13):
here's hoping he's a full go. On Saturday, the Texas
three and two record is soft losses to powerful Ohio
State and struggling Florida. Starkisian said something like, I don't
know who was going to go to Gainesville and win
that game. It's like, well, South Florida went there and
won the other day.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Much closer, you know, don't have to got their rigors
of travel.
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Texas wins are over a UTEP and Sam Houston. Despite
all that, I'm gonna take the Longhorns plus point and
a half because my tears is going to be rusty
thwack number twenty one, Arizona State four and one at
(43:57):
Utah four and one fifteen on ESPN, the Utes are
favored by four and a half points. It's a tasty
Big twelve showdown and the winner will be atop the
Big twelve with BYU, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. I like
utahd rice ecles under the lights, Give me the Utes
(44:19):
minus four and a half flackety thlat Michigan four and
one at USC four and one four point thirty nine.
BC Trojans are favored by two and a half. Michigan
(44:41):
coach Charon Moore told the media this week that this
game is a sellout at the Coliseum because Michigan is
a big draw. True, that is the truth. Congrats to
more for hyping up the game. Coming off of bye week.
USC coach Lincoln Riley was still complaining to the media
about a possible misholding call from Illinois two weeks earlier.
(45:05):
This game, like doubl Dare, will be more of a
physical challenge for USC than Illinois, and they failed the
physical challenge against Illinois. Of course it was on the road,
but I will take Michigan plus two and a half.
Go Blue. UCLA is one and four at Michigan State
(45:28):
three and two, nine AM Big Ten Network. Spartan's favored
by eight and a half. Early call for UCLA and
East Lansing. Very important game for both teams. Very important
team for UCLA to prove they're not the team that
lost to New Mexico. And there's a chance the Bruins
could even come out a little too over confident. But
(45:50):
I do like what Tim Skipper has done so far.
I like the way Nico played last week, made some
really incredible throws. I'm taking you CLA plus eight and
a half pours up out. That's right, Matt. Last week,
(46:10):
the off the menu prop was a winner at Fresno State,
posting a narrow twenty seven victory in the Valley as
they honored the fortieth anniversary of the undefeated nineteen eighty
five Bulldogs. This week, my prop will be the Dodgers
needing five games to knock off the Phillies. I'm worried
(46:32):
the Dodgers will lose tonight but then win Saturday with
Otani delivering a dominant pitching performance that has now rocked
my world because David Vasse just lobbied for Blake Snell
to start Game five.
Speaker 2 (46:47):
Yeah, I can kind of see where he's coming from.
Speaker 3 (46:49):
You know, sounds like you're one that has seen the light.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
I think I have.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
Let me walk in like a rooster.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Bigs now seven innings.
Speaker 3 (47:06):
So we'll reset the picks, just taking two favorites this
week Alabama and Utah minus the points. Five dogs, Illinois, Indiana, Texas,
Michigan and UCLA all plus the points. Despruits and Los Wuegos.
Everybody enjoy the games, and we'll get back to Dodger
(47:29):
fanfare and getting ready for Morocco Casino. Dodgers on deck
starting at two o'clock with Tim.
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Kats Beautiful nineteen and thirteen. Huh yeah, pretty damn good.
Speaker 3 (47:46):
College football is pretty pretty crazy. Yeah it is, but
not as tight. What are going through? I gotta travel
to Gainesville. Who could be expected to win that game?
It's not like we were the number one consensus starting
the season. Good luck to everybody involved, and I'll be
(48:10):
calling Little Noon God willing Cincinnati versus Central Florida. Cincinnati
one of the better teams in the Big twelve, maybe
the best. They stormed the field last week when they
beat an undefeated Iowa State team. So I will be
live at Nippert Stadium what they call the NIP at
(48:32):
nine am on FS one on Saturday. We'll be right
back with your word number and song of the day.
Thanks for listening.
