super flex Galpin Motors Broadcast Booth three, eight pm per
Pitch two less than two hours from now. Tim Kates
Dodgers on Deck at two. Tim Kate's postgame Dodger talk

(01:13):
following what we hope was a Dodger victory and a
two zero commanding lead in the NLDS awaiting the winner
of the Cubs Brewers series for the NLCS. Blake Snell,
Jesus Lozardo is your pitching matchup today?

Speaker 4 (01:29):
All right, it is time for the word of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
With his words, the word of the day.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Today's word of the day is UCLA roars. After the
losses to you and LV in New Mexico, I said
UCLA might go winless this season. That's the only hope
for a win. We said would be Northwestern Michigan State

(02:03):
or Maryland. I was wrong, and I'm happy to be wrong.
Saturday's win over Penn State has to go down as
the most unlikely victory in UCLA football history. Over the years,
the Bruins have won more important games, like Matt Stevens
nineteen eighty five team winning the Rose Bowl or the
twenty seven team upsetting USC thirteen to nine.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
That was a good one.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Eight forty seven.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
What time is it? What's your favorite time of the day? Code?

Speaker 4 (02:31):
Eight forty seven?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Why is that my favorite time of the day?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Thirteen to nine?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
No, yeah, a good one. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
But when it comes to the game, no one, This
game one game nobody expected UCLA to win. It was
saturdays forty two to thirty seven victory over number six
Penn State. Sure you could say Penn State has a
hangover going across the country. Let Oregon beat him twice. Fine, whatever,
UCLA was a twenty four point underdog and Penn State

(03:04):
was going to show up in Pasadena. I thought pissed
off and ready to make up for that loss to
the Organ Ducks. But as James Franklin admitted in the
postgame press conference, he did not do a good enough
job managing his team. The Organ loss caused a hangover,
and they didn't sleep it off until the third quarter
a week later. And that's what makes college football so great.

(03:27):
First and foremost, congratulations to all the bruined players who
could have easily folded up the tent, especially in today's era,
and all the negativity and the empty stadium and the
banners and the trucks. They could have gone over twelve easy.
Interim head coach Tim Skipper deserves a lot of credit.

(03:48):
And I told you this guy was a good guy
and he knew what he was doing. He did not
allow his players to stop believing. He brought a great attitude,
and earlier UCLA fought back against north Way Western before
losing seventeen to fourteen in his first game. So this
guy's had belief and he created belief and he built

(04:09):
on that belief. And what Jerry new Heidel did was
great calling the plays. It was a little weird that
people came up to me all weekend like the new
UCLA coach, Jerry Neuheisel is like, no, you know, he's
not the head coach. I know it seemed that way
if you're watching on CBS and all that. He did

(04:29):
a great job call in plays. We like Jerry. Remember
we have the Philip's French gift sandwiches in common. And
he had a great moment with the players carrying him
off the field like they did when he coached. When
he played against Texas as a quarterback, he delivered a
great viral moment in the locker room afterwards. And Nico
Iamalayava played his best game ever, made great decisions, made

(04:53):
great decisions about when to take off and went in
where to throw the ball. So now Skipper and Jerry
and Nico the rest of the Bruins have to get
ready for a nine am body clock kickoff on Saturday
at three and three Michigan State in East Lansing, and
that will be a tough game. And Michigan State's got
a great offense. They faltered in the last couple of weeks.

(05:15):
So congratulations to everybody involved, because everybody involved has done
a heck of a job at UCLA except for Martin Jarmond, who.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I've had that plane you know we were talking about
with U saw that.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, I think he's still under fire and a lot
of the complaints about him are pretty pretty accurate or
they have a good base under their feet. But it
was still a great moment for the Bruins and what
it looked like there was going to be a year
for with nothing to celebrate, they pull something out. So
that's great. It's time for the number.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
The number, number of the day.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Number the Day is six and Kates, I don't know
if you can pull some of the fans see football music,
let's get a pick in here. Look, the Chargers did
not play great football yesterday. They didn't play good football yesterday.
They did for a quarter and a half. Well aware
of that, social media conversations chuck full of people putting
their performance in my face, which I appreciate the interaction.
I call the games. I do root for the team

(06:17):
to win. I like people in the zation. I want
them to be successful. And there is a financial motivation
for me as I get paid per game, so the
more games they play it the more money I make.
I like winning football. But as you know, P I
weigh one hundred and fifty pounds and I'm fifty two
years old. I have nothing to do with playing football,
nor have I ever If I suited up, it would
likely be a twisted mess.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
You can talk the talk, though you can talk the talk.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Talk to talk is what I do. I am hopeful
when I make the trip to Miami that we will
not have anything similar to the twenty four total in
one hundred and ninety two penalty yards they have incurred
the last two games. One of those yesterday, literally took
six points off the board. Instead of going into halftime
up what likely would have been seventeen seven, they went

(07:01):
in ten ten thanks to a roughing the punter penalty
by a guy who had a very very slim chance,
if not less than zero chance of blocking the punt,
but again trying hard to make a play and unfortunately
it went sideways, but the six p is for the Raiders.
All I needed from the Raiders was eight points to

(07:23):
have a three to one week, just a five point
fourth quarter between both teams, the Colts and the Raiders.
As it was forty to three in the at the
end of the third quarter Colts forty Raiders starts trying
to be nice by taking the over. I should have
just taken the Colts, as I mentioned when I made
the pick on Friday, but alas forty to three going

(07:44):
into the fourth quarter with an over under a forty
seven and a half. To say I felt pretty good
would be an understatement. And instead against all backups on offense,
Anthony Richardson at quarterback, Giddings running back, the defense was
all backups playing a soft defense. Got a six million
dollar salary for offensive coordinator Chip Kelly thirty five million

(08:09):
dollars a year. Quarterback in Geno Smith understandably Ashton Genty
sitting out the fourth quarter. He didn't need to be
taking those hits. But raheem moster. It's a former thousand
yard back, a former fourteen touchdown back, and they could
not score but three points. So I lament my two
and two record. I won with the Patriots as a dog,
I won with the Lions as a favorite. I lose

(08:30):
my underund the Browns Vikings in London by two points,
and I lose my Raiders Colts over because the Raiders
could score but six points. That puts me at seven
and eight on the seat.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
More hope for this Raiders offense.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I had more hope for this Raiders offense. I mean,
and I don't like the Raiders, but it looked like
it was lining up to be pretty good. Gino a
huge upgrade over eight and O'Connell Jakobe Myers good receiver,
I mean, borderline number one receiver. I assume the brock
Bauers thing is not good. He does not look like
the brock Bowers that destroyed the league last year, so

(09:08):
that's probably a big part of it. I think Colton
Miller was out yesterday, which also not good for them.
So let's see if I can even this up at
eight and eight. As I am seven and eight, I'm
gonna take the points. I'm gonna take the Jaguars. They
are a Brian Thomas drop away from being four and zero.
They're running the hell out of the ball with Liam Cohen,
something he did last year in Tampa with Bucky Irving.

(09:29):
He's doing it this year with NTN. And the Chiefs
are currently thirtieth against the run. If the Chiefs win,
I suspect it'll be a field goal game. So I'll
take the hook Jags plus three and a half.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
All right, Well, Matt, I thought you were very, very measured.
You know about the Charger game. I know the Chargers
are beat up and they can't protect their quarterback and
it's happening.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
It is. It's the penalties, the taking a third and
eighteen conversion and a third and twenty eight conversion off
the board when you're pinned inside your own ten one
with the formation penalty. That one hurt a little bit.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Well, you know what, back to the positives, the Dodgers.
What y y y yea y y y ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
ya ya ya ya ya yah yah yawn with the

Speaker 3 (10:30):

Today's song of the day is called Philly from song writer,

Happy Snell Zella Day, How are you?

Speaker 6 (13:22):
I'm doing great? Blake Snell has a lot of confidence
coming into this start tonight. He has done really well
against this Phillies lineup that does not have Harrison Bader,
who injured his growing in Game one. He is not
in the starting lineup. He made a great catch to
rob Andy pah Has in that game. So Brendan marsh

(13:45):
is in center field tonight for Philadelphia.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
All right, Dave with Snell zilla, is that why roart
Vett is catching? Does that have something to do with it?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well?

Speaker 4 (13:55):
How does that all fall together?

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (13:58):
It feels like from what Dave Roberts told us before
Game one, they're easing Will Smith back into catching because
he hasn't caught nine innings in a month, despite Will
saying he could be ready to go for a month.
But I feel like they're going to stick to the
same game plan that we saw in game one, when
Blake Snell comes out of the game, then Hortvick comes

(14:23):
out of the game, and Will Smith will pinch it
for him at some point. We actually thought earlier than
I anticipated in game one, where Will Smith came in
and Dave Roberts felt like it was a good opportunity
to score against at that point a very dominant Christopher Sanchez.
So I feel like you're going to see Will Smith
catch at least the last three innings of tonight's game.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
When he came out, Dave, it was Tyler glass Now
that came out of the bullpen. Is that something we
might see again or was that just the way to
schedule lined up for him to be a Game four starter.
What do we kind of know about how that's going
to go moving forward.

Speaker 6 (15:01):
Yeah, the Dodgers had let it be known that glass
Now was very much available out of the bullpen for
Game one because that's his normal throw day and he
hadn't pitched in a game since the second game of
the final regular season series in Seattle, and that was
abbreviated on purpose three innings, thirty six pitches, So if

(15:23):
the Dodgers did not pitch him in Game one, it
would have been a very long time between starts for
Tyler glass Now. So that's the reason why they lined
it up to him to be available out of the
bullpen in Game one. I would expect that to be
the case in the NLCS if the Dodgers advanced, where
glass Now would be available out of the bullpen early

(15:45):
in that series and start Game four, Game five of
the NLCS. He's going to start Game four as of
now for the Dodgers going into the last couple of
games of this series. But it'll be interesting to see
how this series plays out, especially if the Dodgers win
both games here in Philadelphia, if there even would be

(16:06):
a Game four.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
What would be the plan Dave tonight when Snell is done.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
That's a great question, Petros. I love asking a lot
of different Dodger people that question because you get different answers.
But I can tell you this, asking a few different
Dodger people before Game one randomly about who would get
the last three outs, they all said, to a man,
Roki Sasaki, And that's exactly what we saw. He did

(16:35):
start to warm up a little later than you know
he has in the past. That means that it was
something that Dave Roberts thought about once he had to
take lass Now out for Alex Vessia. I feel like
the plan was for glass Now to finish that game.
He just got into some trouble in that eighth inning,
which chose which forced his hand to use Vessia and Roki.

(16:57):
So I would imagine Roki's available again tonight to get
the last three outs, and the Dodgers are going to
push Snell tonight. They're hoping to get at least six
seven innings from him tonight to shorten that game up.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Dave with Roki, I know you were at the park,
God knows, we saw you on camera with TBS. That
was great camera work by them. The other great camera
work they had was shots of the Dodgers dugout when
Roki was on the mound and you had Kershaw and
Otani and all the pitchers with their arms up on
that railing and man smiles from ear to ear. Is

(17:30):
that splitter was working kind of give us an idea
of what his arrival, what his arrival if in fact
he's going to be the closer every game, and what
maybe that tells us that these guys are anxious to
see him pitch and get giggly about what he's doing
to batters in there.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
Yeah, it's funny. The workout day before game one, I
asked Roki how much he's leaned on O'tani. What's Otani
told him? He said, not a lot, except asking me
when I'm going to pitch again. Those are the only
times that Ota he talks to him. And in that
postgame interview with Taoscar Hernandez Taoskar and Otani were right
next to each other in the dugout, very animated during

(18:09):
that ninth inning, and I said, what were you guys
talking about and really being demonstrative about. He said, him
and Otani were calling pitches for Roki from the dugout.
They were trying to play along with the pitch selection
and being very vocal about it in the dugouts. So, yeah,
everybody understands just him coming out of the bullpen, throwing

(18:30):
one hundred miles an hour and having that sportball with
basically knuckleball action has meant to get the last three outs,
because coming into the postseason, you've got a lot of
different answers from different people about who would get the
final three outs, and they found a guy.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Where does Kershaw fit in? Should he even have flown?

Speaker 6 (18:52):
Well, he's out there in the outfield right now playing
catch with the rest of the relievers. He sits in
as an insurance policy seeing that bullpen. If for some
reason the game went into extra innings, he would be
the guy if they need a bridge from an abbreviated startup.
You know, for some reason a starter doesn't go very

(19:12):
deep into a game or not effective that's where you
would press the curse shop button out of that bullpen.
So he's a big insurance policy for them.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
What is the what is there to the pattern of
Tao Hernandez to Oscar and just like a questionable decision
in the outfield, not necessarily an error, but just kind
of wondering if you couldn't see the ball in that
game against Cincinnati, if he took a weird angle to
the ball against Philly and then playing hero in the
batter's box. Dave, you've had a chance to talk to
him after both games, kind of what do you make

(19:44):
of him feeling like there's a little bit of weight
on him? And if you could also answer, did you
talk to Paz about whether or not knew what that
pitch was and that's why he stuck his arm out?

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (19:55):
Well, number one, he didn't know what pitch it was.
He was just giving a location to Taoscar and he
had the wrong location because real Mudo was setting up inside.
But Matt Strom is so badly that it was up
and out over the plate and that was all ta
Oscar Hernandez and Matt Strom told the Philly reporters after

(20:18):
the game that you know, I hold every one of
my pitches the same. Unless Paz had X ray vision
to see that horseshoe which barely peeks out. Uh, there's
not much I could do about it. But what pa
has was doing right there was was giving location. And
you know how that affects the rest of this series.
The Dodgers are living rent free in the Phillies pitcher's

(20:40):
heads if there's a runner at second base, because they're
so paranoid over the fact that they are taking pitches,
they're giving location all that stuff, which you know, I
don't know if that's one hundred percent accurate, but obviously
the Phillies are very paranoid about it, especially after what
we saw on social media and Taoskar not stopping that

(21:01):
ball before it got to the wall. From real Mudo,
that was a that was a big ninety seat because
he tagged up and scored on a fly ball to
left field. What Tao said was he thought Pahz was
going to get there to cut it off, and look,
it was not the best optics. Taoskar needed to find
a way to stop that ball. He was the first

(21:22):
one to say it and certainly felt redemption again.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
All right, Dave just tell us how angry are people
out there in Philly right now? Are they?

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Have?

Speaker 4 (21:31):
They lost a lot of their confidence because they had
a lot of confidence going into this one. Has it
been a you strolled around all day yesterday? Was it
a quiet town pet shows?

Speaker 6 (21:41):
After the Eagles were upset by the Broncos. It was
an unhinged city, unhinged, a lot of edge, a lot
of edge. Philly, Philly streets were unhinged yesterday after their
first loss of the season, and it's going to be
even more unhinged on the way out of stadium tonight.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Dave Max Munsey, I know there's lefties on the mound,
but you know you had Alex Call and key K
in there last in Game one, and now you've got
key K out in left field and Miguel Rojas playing third.
I assume same sort of deal will be the case
throughout this series, with another lefty on the mound in
Game three as well.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Right, Yeah, Alex Call was in there because he had
done pretty well against Christopher Sanchez and Rob Thompson, the
Phillies manager, actually said after Game one that it made
him decide whether or not to leave Sanchez in against
key K and then take him out for Alex Call.
So he played a big role in what the Phillies

(22:43):
strategy was. But that's the reason why he's not in
there tonight. Alex Call specifically had good numbers against Sanchez,
and Alex Call definitely will be called upon if the
Dodgers have a lead late in the game to give
them a better outfield defense and take Koscar Hernandez out.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
All right, Dave, wonderful stuff. Have a great night. We'll
hear you on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on Deck, and we'll
hear you with Dodger Clubhouse and Dodger Talk later as
the Dodgers take on the Phillies. Oh, Kates is doing?
Is it a getaway day? Get away day?

Speaker 6 (23:19):
The game tonight?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Win?

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Or lou leave it right after the game?

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Headed home tonight? All right? Tim, geez, well, I mean
Kates is gonna fall out? All right, Thank you, Dave,
have a great night.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
Okay, maybe you should do it tonight, Petros help him out.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
You know, I always ask I say, do you need me,
and no one ever the answer is almost unequivocally no,
we don't need you, I asked. Yeah, I'm worried about
Baders growing. When's he coming back? We're taking calls eight
six six.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
All right, thank you Dave, Thank you guys.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
We'll be back with the dead and a lot guy

Speaker 3 (25:19):
Zigu not doing wouldn't find Lastmas.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
This well, she would only h she would have been
seventy seven today. Millie Small an international sensation in nineteen
sixty four with this song My Boy Lollipop. Born in
a country area Claringdon, Jamaica, her father was an overseer
of a sugar plantation, one of thirteen siblings, Philip Rivers

(25:48):
Esque h. Like many Jamaicans in the time, she came
up on the Vere John's Opportunity Hour contest at the
age of twelve, so they moved in to Kingston to
work at stut Udo One with Cox and Dodd, who
liked her. He paired her with a singer, Owen Gray.
Then they paired her with another singer, Roy Robinson, which

(26:10):
gained the intention of the guy who was basically the
king of finding stars in Jamaica and making Jamaica global
was Chris Blackwell. Of Island Records. Do you ever meet
Chris blackwell Man.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I was in a room with him once he flew
into Los Angeles to give us a state of the
label when we were breaking up PolyGram label group and
Island was going to be paired with A and M.
I believe. I said hello to him. He said who
are you? And I said I do college radio and
he said, nice to meet you.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
That was it.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
I was in a room with him too. I was
in the Long Beach Arena with him where he spoke.
He introduced a band. He became her manager and legal guardian,
and they took her to London and they started recording
her second recording with the legendary guitarist Ernest Wranglin. Is
this my boy Lollipop?

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Pay attention to that harmonica.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
By the way. A lover.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Of the song was the Whole World It Blew Up.
It was a cover by a team from the US

You're alive, guyp Happy seventy first dude David Hidalgo he
is seventy one today. He is one half of the
founding duo of Los Lobos. Born in La grew up
in East La said neighborhood very rich into music and
the Mexican music culture. Grew up with traditional Mexican folk,
also some rock and roll, rhythm and blues that would

(29:13):
shape you know, what came to be a and what
still is really one of the most unique sounds of
any band out there. Los Lobos as a teenager said
he was self taught and everything guitar, accordion, violin, drums
taught himself. You know, he's got pretty much just perfect
pitch on a natural ear helped him, he said, master

(29:33):
pretty much everything, and they tried to kind of put
it in a blender, he and Louis Perez and build
those Lobos merging Mexican and American music. They formed the
band in seventy three, and at first they were doing
just kind of Mexican music, weddings. King Sigis, community events,
all that stuff to make some scratch and said, they

just decided to create something new that Mexican folk, the
American rock and big break took him a while. I mean,
