(00:20):
play at the end of the game, but that's coming

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh yes, that time we got to bring on the man,
the man that sat in the big chair to give
us his thoughts, our man, ned Kelletti And how you
feeling today, man, after that nail bought it last night?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Oh it was easy, wasn't it. It was just it
just took time. That's feeling good. I think that that
was really their their toughest test. They got to win
another eight games, but that one was should have been
the toughest.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, it was, you know, built up as the heavyweight bout,
heavyweight fight. A lot of people believe that that would
the winner of this series with the Phillies was going
to uh determine who's gonna win the world Series. And
I felt that the you know, going forward with the
most firepower, the most depth were the Dodgers in Phillies,
and it showed. I think the first two games, although
(01:39):
the Dodgers won, probably were a lot closer than it
really looked like because the Dodgers had to get the
three run homer from ta Oscar to win that first game,
and then the second one got Harry at the end,
but they got out of there too, and oh and
everybody's feeling, oh this is sweet. But those games were
not blowout so this was a definitely a heavyweight fight.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
It was. It was a tough series, you know, but
I we all look at the stars and obviously show
hey had a tough, tough series. Mookie good series, Freddy
certainly t o terrific as usual at this time of
year Philly, though, when you think about their top three guys,
because I think the bottom of the order is good,
but I think it's average. Once you get past the
(02:21):
third guy, I think it becomes a little bit more average.
You know, you got you got Turner, you got Schwarber,
you got Bryce. Somebody said they were like three for
thirty five in the de seats, and you got your
best players got to be your best players in these
types of games, and I don't think the best players
were their best players. On the other hand, the Dodgers
(02:43):
had enough depth that they continue to grind out at best.
They continue to go through the order. You as you
look at Kiky Hernandez, who's a bigger October. We've talked
about this many times, a bigger October player than him.
Phil doesn't have that player, even though he hits two
hundred for six months. It's just there's just too much
depth for the Dodgers compared to the other teams. And
(03:05):
when you lack that, your best have got to be
your best. And in a case of Philly, their best
at three for thirty five in the Defeast, maybe maybe
hit two fifty overall to Coddle and all the even
the games they won or the game one game they
won not enough.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, And if you got the big three, at least
one of those big three's got to have a you know,
a big series, because if all three are struggling, then
you're really in trouble, like you mentioned, without the depth.
And that's the thing you know about the Dodgers is
everybody does focus on the big three old Tony, Betts
and Freeman. But you look up and you gotta face
taosk Hernandez and then you think you you're you're through
(03:43):
the heart and heavy part of the lineup. And and
as you mentioned, KK comes up and can kill you
and hurts you. Tommy Edmond can come up, as you know,
hitting down in the lineup can can hurt you to
turn it over, and he and as much as he
struggled in the series of piez at twenty seven home
runs and was a big factor for this team all
(04:04):
season long. So the depth factor is, like you said,
is out of control. But when you look at it,
let's go to the pitching, ned because I thought pitching wise,
if you're a fan of pitching, I think yesterday's game
and this really, this series has been remarkable from a
pitching standpoint, What.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Do you think?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Oh? Absolutely, and I think I think overall, I mean,
it's another difference maker for the Dodgers over anybody else
they play. We give him that in a second. But
I thought there were great pitch games. There were very
few guys. It was only one game that really got
out of hand. The rest of them came down to
the end. You think about yesterday's game, deciding game, one
(04:47):
run is scored on a pitcher's fielding air. To score
a Philly run, one run is scored by a walk
with the bases loaded, and the other run is scored
by Philly pitching air. So it's not like guys were
driving the ball. It's not like guys had a lot
of rallies. There were hardly any rallies in this series.
(05:08):
I don't consider necessarily a three run home or a
rally a little bit of a rally. I mean, you
take it any day of the week. But it's not
like you're giving up three, four, or five six hits
in an inning, or five to six base runners in
an inning. But that's what good pitching we'll do. And
Philly's starting pitching was excellent. Not enough as compared to
the Dodgers. But you know, the top two guys were really,
(05:30):
really good, and you know they exposed some weaknesses or
at least some gaps and approaches right here right now,
which if the other teams, the Milwaukee, Chicago group, or
anybody in the American League that survives today and along
with Toronto, they're paying attention, they may have learned a
little bit. But again, as to your point, the pitching,
(05:51):
the pitching was terrific in this series. Great stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, and for the Dodgers, I mean all season long,
he kept going okay, when when they get healthy, they'll
be all right. This is what Andrew Freeman did in
the offseason was addressed the pitching, especially the starting pitching situation,
bringing in Snell, getting to Zaki over and some other guys.
And it's paying off now because these guys are healthy.
(06:15):
And we talked about this now. I think we talked
about it with you. How you know, Glass Now was
almost a forgotten guy when you got you know, o Tani,
I'm a Moto Snell going for you, and glass Now
was kind of a guy. Maybe he comes out of
the pen in the in these series in which he
did and did well, but yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's the glass.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I think the Dodgers when they signed him were looking
for because he was lights out and ned for for
those six six and then whatever he went in that.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Game, no doubt. And you know, as a pitching always
wins in my mind. You know, you can chase the
scoreboard and once in a while you're gonna prevail. But
pitching is in my mind, a defensive aspect to the
to the sport, and if you've got good pitching, it's
going to be tough for somebody to beat you. As
we look at anybody who's still playing or anybody that
(07:06):
just stopped playing, except for maybe Philly glasnow might be
their ace. He might be the ace on some of
these staffs that are remaining. He might be their number
one guy. Here he's the number four guy, and he's
a guy who's going to pitch out of the pen
when he's got enough rest to do that between starts.
But that's what I mean. They've just got too much
of the depth, whether it's in the lineup, whether it's
(07:28):
in the rotation, and because of the depth in the rotation,
suddenly your bullpen has a little bit different choices to
it a little bit more depth because those are starting pitchers,
you know in some cases. And then he got Sasaki
who's like, you know, to me, it's like Francisco Rodriguez
back in two at Anna.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
You know, he's come on and he's been dominant. What
he did yesterday and in big time moments was almost
historic in a lot of different ways. And the pitch
in Philly, which he did, and there was a thing
I brought up last week, you know, to pitch out
of that bullpen in Philly as a visiting team with
the fans right on top of you and you know,
(08:06):
and pushing it to break a little bit. The kid
had tremendous poise and great stuff. You know. It's it's
remarkable because that deal there was that was not a
financial deal, because anybody could have signed him for the
same amount of money. Everybody had it. That was him
being attracted to La and the culture of this team
(08:27):
and Yamamoto and Otani and everything that they have built
for the last ten, twelve, thirteen years. That's that's what
attracted him. And now here he is at his age,
with the stuff he's got, I think the other teams
are looking at him right now in the playoffs and
they're going, we can't let him get into the game.
That means something because we're going to have a really
(08:48):
tough time coming back, or even you know, if you're
if you're tied, changing the game like you did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I mean, ned you said the chair and people have
you know, these armchair quarterbacks and armchair pictures and whatever.
Managers sit back and you should have did this, and
you should have did that. But nobody knows the team
better than Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman and those guys that
are in the clubhouse and they know what they're doing.
And there was a time, you know, with Suzaki struggled,
(09:16):
you know, part of this season and you know, was
injured and went on the IL and then you know,
had some minor league starts, and there were a lot
of people just wrote him off and said, okay, we'll
just get him ready for next year. Yet the Dodgers
had a plan for him, and the plan has come
back and it's worked to perfection, and like you said,
for him to do what he did in Philly in
(09:38):
that hostile environment as a young kid, him twenty twenty
one do that in that hostile environment, and then to
go multiple innings yesterday and shut it down. It was incredible.
Do you do you when you comes to Suzaki what
he's doing right now. Is there a possibility they fall
(09:58):
in love with him coming out of pen as opposed
to going back to be a starter.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Well, I think so. I still think he's going to
be a great starting pitcher, not this month, but down
the road, and I think this is a great way
to break him into it. He doesn't have to get
eighteen outs twenty one outs in some cases, he's got
to get three. In some cases he may need to
get less than three. That is far easier for a
(10:23):
young player to adjust to, to adapt to. It's different
than hitting. You get one at bat a game, it's
going to be tough. But if you've got to get
one out of game or three outs a game, you
can get your confidence and you can use your stuff.
And he's got huge stuff all over the place, more
than one pitch, more than two pitches. But he's also
got the poise to deal with it. And it's funny
(10:45):
how how life goes. Sometimes Sometimes we think, you know,
like the curse or the negative is going to ruin
us in this particular case is people as people talked
about the bullpen and and how that was up and down,
and some of the guys everybody counted on didn't they
have good seasons? What are we going to do in
(11:06):
the postseason. Well what happened is it gave birth to
this guy the postseason and maybe the frailty of the
Dodgers' bullpen through this past season regular season allowed him
to get another chance, allowed him to come in in
a different situation. Not to start the game, get us
twenty one outs, no start, you know, finish the game,
(11:27):
you know, hold the score, hold the lead, stop a situation.
And he's been phenomenal at it. So we've taken a negative,
so to speak, or at least a question or a concern,
and now it's turned into him. What a great What
a great combination that is not only in sport but
also in life. When we have something tough going on
(11:48):
and we figure out a way to make it better
and it turns out to be better than it was
before we started.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And then on the
flip side, to have a game in like that. Have
you ever been around in a playoff situation or a
meaningful game that ends the way that went and ended.
I remember was watching it, and as soon as it
happened and the Dodgers won, and excitement and all of that,
(12:14):
I immediately looked at at Kirk at Kirkering, and I
was like, Man, I feel for that kid. I feel
for him because in the moment he kind of panicked
a little bit, and now he's got to think about
that the whole off season. Not to mention, as we've
talked about a lot, is that he's also got to
hear it from the Philly fans and the Philly crowd
because they're relentless. But have you ever been around something
(12:38):
like that that ended that way? And how do you handle?
You know, a young kid who's who's going to be
a big part of their future going forward, and hopefully
it doesn't scar him. But I was feeling for himed
My wife Holly was like, oh, the hell with him,
He's gonna made the throw.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I was like, oh my god, you really are going
for the juggle.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
What in the world but to be.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So, you know, just for the psyche and I love
with Rob Thompson. Did he ran out right away and
gave him a big hug and and and really you know,
consoled him in that moment because it had to be very,
very difficult.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, I look, I look at it. I look at
it this way. Yeah, he could have made the play,
could have went the first base. Perhaps he could have
fielded a clean But in almost any sport, but particularly
in baseball, that play is going to be the play
everybody looks at. But how many times did Philly have
(13:37):
a chance to maybe get a big hit drive in
a couple of runs. How many chances did they have
instead of being one to one at that point in time,
to be five to one or six to one. And
so in the sport of baseball, we you know, it's
easy to focus in on that play because you're going
to be seeing it for a long time. And yeah,
and the fans won't forget that one play. But as
(13:58):
I as I go back, you know, how about how
about three for thirty eight from your big three guys
and three losses? One play is the end of the game.
That one play didn't cost Philly the series? They you know,
I mean, it's not even close to it. You know,
I go back in my career and there's always in
the lcs's or different major games. Is you know one
(14:21):
play that even you know, I go right back to
Jimmy Rollins sitting the triple off Jonathan Broxton and the
LCS Philly, right like that one. But you know what,
we had multiple opportunities not to make that a one
run game when we got to that juncture, and so
the sport is full of opportunities to change games. This
one just happens to be the exclamation point after a
(14:42):
long paragraph of success and some failure for that team.
But it's you know, it was the last play. Did
it cost them the series? Far from it. He actually
kept them in the series. Yeah, that's just my view
of it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you that
Colletti joins NED going forward. Now, Cubbies made it the series.
They went back to Chicago, got two from the from
the Brewers. Now it goes back to Milwaukee. Uh, when
you look at both of those teams, obviously Milwaukee best
record in baseball and the Cubbies were hot pretty much
(15:17):
all season as well. Uh, tougher matchup for the Dodgers
Milwaukee or Chicago.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Tough to say, you know what, I don't I don't
think either team is everybody's got a chance. I think
either team has got a slim chance. And part of
it is because they're still playing. They've still got yet
another game to play, more pitches to burn, more pitchers
to get up and down, all those different things. And
(15:48):
you know, this isn't like trying to be the wild
card team and so you're going to try to run
the table because you just got it. No, these guys
are in, but they have taken each other. They have
battled against each other so much that there's still playing
on Saturday. What the Dodgers doing today and Saturday, you know,
and Sunday they're getting ready for the next week. So
I don't know that either team. To me, it doesn't
(16:10):
matter which team is going to be. I think it'll
be an upset, a major upset if either team can
prevail against the Dodgers. I just I just don't know
how they compete complete, to compete completely against LA when
you've got the lineup that they Dodgers have, the debt
that they've got, and really the pitching they've got, and
(16:31):
now the closer at the end of the game. Because
I watched these other games, you know, the pitching is okay,
but they can't make a pitch that Sasaki can make.
Nobody can. Yamamoto might be able to, but he's also
on the Dodgers Snow the same thing that it just
doesn't line up for me. I don't I think it's
a major upset if the Dodgers don't don't win at
(16:54):
all and maybe only lose another game the rest of
the way, which is a tough order. I get it.
But team they're using bullpen games to get through this series. Well,
if you're going to use a bullpen game against this
lineup and you got either you got Yamamoto, you got Snow,
or you got show Hey, or you got Klasno starting,
(17:14):
good luck, good luck. Yeah, it'll be It'll be a
freakish thing that will have to happen for anybody to
prevail against the Big four and against Asaki and everybody
else that they've got on the pitching rotation and bullpen
and getting through that lineup. How many two hundred hitters
like Keky Hernandez strike as much fear into the opposing
(17:37):
team as this guy does this time of year because
he's calm, he's confident, and he knows he's going to
get a pitch to handle. When pitchers nibble around the
edges and they don't get calls. Now they've got to
throw something closer to the middle. And you do that
against La, it'll be on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt man.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Man, as we kind of you know, getting down to
to the final four here, uh, you look at teams
like the Phillies and and and even the Yankees because
you sat in that chair, just your your thought process
when when the season is over like it is, I mean,
everybody's screaming at at Aaron Boone and at with the
Yankees and what do they do? And then you look
at the Phillies and and I was watching this morning.
(18:21):
They they've got a they've got some decisions to make
with Kyle Schwarber being a free agent, Rio Muto being
a few a free agent. When when you're that close, ned,
how difficult is it and how much of a importance
is it to you to try to keep the band together?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Well, it's it's it's vital, But it's also vital that
you have fresh young players that can compete and challenge
for opportunity at the end of the season. I've known
Dave in Boski for as long as my career. And
you know, it's when you get to this point, you're
disappointed and you're exhausted because this thing is. This thing
(19:02):
started Valentine's Day basically, you know, for real, and it
didn't just start that day. It started all went along.
So you've got you've got a very very tough few
days here getting through the mental thought process of what
you just watched. But as you look at your team,
I think Philly's got seven players signed for one hundred
(19:23):
and sixty five hundred and seventy million next year, and
they were close to three hundred million this year. And
free agents, you know there's some out there, but you
know who you're going to get and are they going
to come to this particular location, And you know there's
so many different aspects to it. It's tough. And the Yankees,
you know, kind of the same thing. You know, I
(19:45):
have a tough time blaming managers for situations. I would
have not bunted the other day in the Philly game
that I died her second win. I wouldn't have done that,
But I know that's a strategic day either way. But
it it all comes down to players and how do
players perform that. Did a GM or a coach have
(20:06):
anything to do with a manager anything to do with
three for thirty eight? I doubt it, you know, And
so you know, it's a tough evaluation, and to really
pull back from it, I think is important, and to
really calm your mind and take your emotion out of
it and just try to really figure out where do
(20:27):
we go from here? Where do we fall short. It's
the same thing for a GM, which just takes a
job for the first time in a different city and
maybe better better than GM. You've got to know your people.
You've got to know your situation. You've got to really
know your people, and you can't you can't kid yourself
and you can't over exaggerate on either side of the equation.
(20:48):
And you've got to get to that point in time.
And I'm sure that they will. Everybody cash and and
they will get to that time in another few days
and just calmly go through it and make your emotion
out and figure out what you need to get better.
And this is one of the great things about the Dodgers.
It is so hard to win, and the Yankees have
(21:10):
proved it. The Mighty Yankees have proved it. The great
Phillies have proved it, including having home field advantage in
one of the toughest places to play for an opposing team.
But yet they're home and yet here the Dodgers are
a time in thirteen years going to the LCS with
a chance to go to the fifth World Series in
the last what any years since seventeen, that's like eight years. Yeah,
(21:35):
it's remarkable and we should never take it for granted
because it's not easy to do. They make it look
easy to do, and they give us a little bit
of tough now, a little bit of ozna here and there,
but by and large, what they've done is miraculous. It
doesn't happen. It doesn't happen in sport, let alone this sport.
But that's how good they are.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Nick.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Before I let you go, I wanted to ask you
to because you mentioned the Big Three and on both sides,
and how Philly's guys struggled. Otani's been struggling, and there's
a lot of talk. Well you know, his him pitching
and thinking about pitching, even though he's not pitching that
particular days on his mind is the reason why he's struggling.
(22:18):
What do you see when you're watching Otani, especially in
this series, because he is he is completely lost right now.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Ned well, he as much as he has struggle, and
there's no doubt that he has. I see the same
struggle with with go back to it with Turner, and
Forverer and Harper, you know, not so much Harper, but
the other two guys. You know, they chase, they expand
his own shoe. Hay has been expanding his own and
(22:47):
they've been pitching them away and they've been pitching them in,
so they're changing it. They don't repeat much. They may
repeat a certain pitch and a certain location and he's
in one at that, but they rarely do it. So
if he's guessing and if he's looking away, it might
be in. If he's looking in, it might be a way.
And you know, very few athletes, I mean there's there's
(23:08):
probably a few in the history of sports in my lifetime,
but there's very very few that that when you're expected
to do something and be the best at it, that
sometimes you get. You get anxious. Sometimes you expand what
your thought process is and you don't stay in the
zone that you've been in for for months. You know,
(23:30):
you were great player. You understand some days it just
wasn't there, or some days it was tougher to get
to the point of competition or execution. I should say,
then it's other days. But see, I look at it
another way too, with him that he had this type
of series, the chances of him continuing that had this
(23:51):
type of series going forward, I think are very slim.
So you're still playing, You're still in it. And the
greatest in the game right now has struggled for a
little while, but that ain't gonna last forever. So how
much better are they gonna be when he figures it out?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, Net, it's always great to talk to you many.

Or should we take some calls first? What do you want, Rodney?
Let's let's take some calls first. All right? A six six, nine, eight,
seven five seventy Dodger fans? Was that the toughest matchup
there will be? What do you think about that final play?
(26:28):
Ray in South Elmady, thanks for holding Ray? Go ahead?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Hey, Fred Rodney, how you guys then doing great?
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Awesome, awesome fighter on Rodney fight All yes, sir, we're
gonna we're gonna demolish Michigan this weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You damn right, you damn right, Fred? You heard that.
I heard it. Go ahead, Ray, let's go what you got? Ray?
What you got?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Last night I think it was it was a pretty
pretty Uh.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I think it was our toughest matchup against the phil
I think we're we're looking good going into the NFES.
I mean, I prefer the Cubs, but I think we
can do it to the Brewers too.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
All right, thank you, Glad.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
A question for you?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Oh yeah, well quick kick. I know you felt bad
about mister Kirkman, whatever his name was. Did you feel
as bad for Judge last year when he missed that?
I think it was a Centisolde drop Brett.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
You didn't feel anything for Aaron Judge when he dropped
that fly ball in Tennifield had led to the beginning
that the Dodgers ended up winning the World Series.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
He didn't feel bad for him at all. No, No,
but thanks right. Here's why I didn't feel bad at
all because that because that was part of the game.
You could argue, well, last night was part of the game. No,
last night was the deciding moment in the game. And
you could say, yeah, but it led to a beginning
for the Dodgers last year, it ended the Philly season.
If Aaron Judge had dropped the ball last year and
(27:53):
the Dodgers had won the World Series on that exactly
did win the World Series on that in that game?
But not that play, not that play. Sorry, some would
argue different. Okay, that was the play that led the
Dodgers to win in the World Series. No, I got it.
That led them to win. Last night was the moment,
(28:16):
the defining factor that ended it for the Phillies. All right,
here's Ralph Ralph in Ontario. Ralph, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Yeah, guys, was that the toughest game the Dodgers have
played this year?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:31):
I would have to agree. But is it smooth scaling
from this point on? Not by a long shot, Guys.
Until the Dodger bats wake up and you know who
I'm talking about, We're not in any kind of smooth
saving whatsoever. I'm excited. I like our chances because of
our pitching, and I think Roberts made some brilliant decisions.
(28:55):
Some people won't agree with me, but I think Roberts
is doing a great job. And I think whoever he's
play in the next round, I think we're gonna be
just fining.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
All right, appreciate it, thanks so much. Let's go Paul,
Paul down in Long Beach. Paul, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (29:12):
As far as pure empathy goes, Rodney's right in the
comparison between this guy last night and Judge drapping the
ball are very apt, both in critical moments. Yes, fred
one ended the season, so it makes it a little
bit on another level. But then again, the other one
was in the deciding game of the World Series, which
puts that one at another level. So here's my take.
(29:34):
My initial take is at the it was a hardliner
back to the pitcher, and the pitcher was basically playing
goldtender at that moment. He knocked the ball down. At
that point, he has not made an error. I think
everyone will agree on that. The ball is about three
feet from him and he hasn't made an error. Now
he picks up the ball and throws it wide of
(29:58):
the guy who had the place blocked, and the guy
did not. The guy didn't touch the plate. So do
I think it was an air it's borderline. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
But is it something like the guy at first base
Bill Buckner? Now not even close in significance or in
in error?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You know here, well, here here's the thing, Bill Buckner.
Great poll, by the way, very solid.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Pull.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Uh last night that was a metal mistake. That was
a metal mistake. Now you can say, well, Bucker made
a metal mistake too. It didn't put his glove down.
Last night was a mental mistake. Physical mistakes are going
to happen. You hope they don't bang bang.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
It was gonna be bang bang at first base? Red,
don't you think?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Uh? What do I think? Sitting there? Watching. If I'm
gonna be really honest, I said to the people, he
had PA has it first. He had Pa has it first, Riamudo.
Riammuda was actually pointing go to first. I don't think
anybody watched him thought he wouldn't go to first. And
Rodney made a great point earlier, Paul. He said, there's
(31:08):
no way the pitcher can know where Kim is at
that moment. He's got to assume he's going to score.
But you have two outs. You have two outs, so
the play would be to first base. The only way
the play is to the plate in that situation, little dribbler, here,
you charge the ball. You got no shot to get
(31:30):
him at first. You know that. Now you got one hope,
and that's go to the plate. I thought it was
a mental mistake. That's why it was so critical, A
physical mistake as I dropped the ball. A mental mistake
is I caught the ball but didn't know where to
throw it. I do it to the wrong place and
that led somebody to score. Does that make sense?
Speaker 9 (31:48):
I tell you the kids that it totally makes sense.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
That and the two.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Players I would like to see come to the Dodgers
as the fat kid from Chicago who was on the
cub Schwarmer and he's a creator, right, Yes, this picture,
this picture, he's gonna this picture is so you know,
beside himself, and he's gonna be sunned by these asshole
fans from uh Philadelphia, come to the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Baby, all right?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Thanks Paul Kid from Chicago. Thanks, all right, let's go
to China. Lynn. Oh, now what's the problem here? Lynn?
Speaker 10 (32:26):
Hey, guys, Uh, last night that picture just panicked because
I was spurred a moment play reaction and he just
made the wrong choice and threw the ball away. It
was just human error last night.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yep, you're right, but uh yeah, And I.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Also don't think the tough They played their toughest oppony Phillies.
As it goes, it gets tougher. But guess what Otani
and Freeman hasn't leave in the yard like they're capable of.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Do.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Imagine they get up to Milwaukee and rechab it. Now
one wait to another world series?
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Baby?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
All right? All right? Love it? Lynn, Thanks man, thanks
for calling the show. Appreciate it. Let's see Kevin has
sent an updated board. You want to do that? All right? Well?
Is that Henry? Where's Henry yet I can't even see
Henry Lapente. Yeah, come on, Henry, come on, Henry, give
me some.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Anyways, I wanted to talk about your commentary about the show.
Hey o Tani moving him out of the lead offf
position and moving him down in the pitching rotation because
he's had a tough time in the last four games. Yeah,
I mean in the wild Card series he's hit home runs.
That was just four games ago. And also he's pitching.
He was going against Christopher Sanchez, who's number two in
(33:45):
the Cy.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Young Award race in the National League.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
If the word for a gun in his skeens, he
would be your Sy Young Award winner.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, Harry, I can't. I can't. You know what, Harry, Harry, Harry,
I can. I can bite on he hit against the Reds, Okay,
I'll give you that fair, but I can't. I can't
bite against well. Yeah, but this guy could be a
Cy Young winner.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Tani's supposed to be the best hitter and the best
player in baseball. I don't care. If Cy Young was pitching,
he should be able to hit him.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I'm left.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Those guys are good pitchers and they're not gonna be
facing those guys in the next round.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
I said, you stick with what.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You got, all right, Harry, thanks man, appreciate it. Oh,
we have more people on hold, So here's what we'll do.
Let's take quick break. Yeah, I got Edgar Carlos is
sitting there. If I haven't mentioned your name, and you're there.
Felix is there, Felix got somebody in Culver City. All right, Kevin,
(34:42):
all right, we'll get to everybody when we come back.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Hello, Rogan and Rodney listener, did you know AM five
seventy LA Sports has a wide range of LA Sports podcasts,
shows like petros in Money. We are streaming Matt Dodger
Talk with David Vasse, the Dodger Podcast record Clipper Talk
Without a Muss. Follow us all and just go to
A five seventy LA Sports on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeap, oh that's right. Let's keep this moving on a
beautiful Friday.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
It is a beauty feels like summer almost out there,
very warm.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
But board is still lit, right Fretted All right's get
back to the calls. We appreciate your holding. We'll start
with Edgar in Anaheim. Edgar, thank you for holding. Go ahead,
let's go Dodgers baby, Yes, which, yeah, guys.
Speaker 10 (35:37):
What I think?
Speaker 11 (35:38):
Okay, here's what I haven't heard anybody give credit to
the Dodgers stadium, the fans. I think the stadium is
gonna become hostile. I think the Dodgers are so popular
now that Oltani is a never a newspaper on the planet.
So when teams come to LA, they feel the pressure,
and you're gonna start seeing mistakes like mental errors. You're
gonna start seeing things are gonna be happening. I think
(36:00):
that's what's happening now. I think we're building up to something.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
All right. Interesting, you're saying the stage is too big
for everybody else. The Dodger stage is too large. It's
intimidating to come to Dodger Stadium and play for some.
Speaker 11 (36:12):
Of these I think it's gonna become that way. I
think we're gonna start seeing a lot of incredible things
coming in the years to come.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
All right, let's go to Glendora. Edward, thanks man, that's
your hold on Carlos Is in Glendora, Carlos, how are
you today?
Speaker 7 (36:29):
I'm doing great? Ready, Hey, I think that we would
be better off playing the Cubs, only because Milwaukee had
our number last time when they swept us in that
last series. And I think as far as Otani goes,
he's a smart ballplayer. He wouldn't be where he is
if he wasn't a smart ball player. See, if you
(36:50):
let him play his game, let him calm down, think
he'll be fine. And Rodney, I got one. I want
to say something to you. I saw your lady on
a NETI episode of Law and Order the other night,
and let me tell you something, brother, she is an
amazing dramatic actress.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Man.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I think.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
She played a distraught, distraught wife of some official.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Yeah yeah, hey.
Speaker 7 (37:14):
Yeah, hey brother, you know what, if that's her acting,
don't tick her off, man, All right, I got that right.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Appreciate that, man. I'll let her know. Carlos. Thanks. And
by the way, did she kill somebody in that show?
Rodney herself? No, she didn't. Yeah, no she didn't. Oh yeah,
it was it was deep. It was deep.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
She was actually really emotional after that that scene she did. Yeah, yeah,
so it was.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
It was. It was deep.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
It was a deep scene and a deep episode that
she played on Law and Order with her good good
friend Mariska hargod Day.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
People love her, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Maybe that's that's been on twenty like twenty six years
or something. Unbelievable. She's very likable. She's a good person too.
What I didn't know. I didn't know this until recently.
Holly knew this all the time, that she is the
daughter of Jane Manstel.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yes. Yes, And they did that documentary. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
I didn't realize that until leading up and they were
they were doing this doc was coming out, and it's like,
really had no idea, and then that watched the doc
which was fascinating, fascinating documentary. You have an opportunity to
check it out. It's it's it's brilliant, brilliantly done.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Okay, let's go Culver City, Kevin, thanks for holding go ahead.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
Man, Hey, guys, a great game. I gotta get some
proplets to my boy Tyler Glass now from a new
Hall represented big. He finally became a Dodger in that game.
And I think about these compellacy, compelling matches we had
in this town Lakers, Sacramento, Kings, forty nine Ers Rams.
This was a price fight in that magnitude. This was
(38:52):
this was a heavyweight fight.
Speaker 13 (38:53):
Between two great teams. Christopher Sanchez mowing down guys, Glass
now mowing down guys. Looking at the hitters. They were
going back and forth, and I want to give a
shout to Dave Roberts making a move that won't come
up in the in the shows. But Alex call you
look at him wife, Ilex calling in the lineup. Look
at his numbers against Christopher Stantis in that inning where
the Dodgers type the game, he was grinding out that
(39:14):
a bad against Santas. He got that great walk to
start the inning off and then it led to Keith
Aaron and single and it just got everything started and
he got him out of the game. You bring in
Durraan like I thought they would, and Mookie Best taking
that walk ties the game. They made the right plays
and they grind it out at best. That's what it's
about about winning. Give him some props to Susaki, great
(39:36):
clutch performance three innings. That was incredible. And like I said,
playing the Phillies, these two teams going back and forth,
those are the two teams, two best teams in baseball,
and the Dodgers bought it. Otani he did.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
I feel he's excited. I feel man, now, I hear you,
but we got to hit the top of the hour
break here in a second. Good job, Kevin. All right,
let's finish with Felix and San Diego.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
Go ahead, Felix, what's happening, guys?
Speaker 14 (40:05):
You know what I'm gonna tell you guys right quick,
because I know you gotta go Sasaki series MVP Glass. Now,
like the previous colors said, I'm glad he came through
fine on by the way, Rodney this weekend, yes, sir,
And I'm gonna tell you, guys what. I'm gonna be
honest with everybody down here in San Diego. That was
(40:26):
me in Miramar putting that final play twice over the
PA last night. That a good week in gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
All right, Felix, take it easy, appreciate you listening. Let's
go all right. Next hour, I'm gonna tell you the
social media issue I have with the Phillies fans. I'm
gonna let you know what that is. And I don't
know if you caught it or not, but we certainly
(40:59):
caught it. But when we come back to the NFL,
let's get ready. Vinnie Bonsignoro join us.
Fred Rogan Rodney Pete on A five s LA Sports.
All right, later this hour we will hear from you
Dodger fans. We will open the phone lines and get
your thoughts. You can tell us if you thought the
Dodgers last night passed their toughest test and it's smooth
sailing going forward. You can also talk about that that
(00:20):
play at the end of the game, but that's coming
up later on in the hour.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh yes, that time we got to bring on the man,
the man that sat in the big chair to give
us his thoughts, our man, ned Kelletti And how you
feeling today, man, after that nail bought it last night?
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Oh it was easy, wasn't it. It was just it
just took time. That's feeling good. I think that that
was really their their toughest test. They got to win
another eight games, but that one was should have been
the toughest.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, it was, you know, built up as the heavyweight bout,
heavyweight fight. A lot of people believe that that would
the winner of this series with the Phillies was going
to uh determine who's gonna win the world Series. And
I felt that the you know, going forward with the
most firepower, the most depth were the Dodgers in Phillies,
and it showed. I think the first two games, although
(01:39):
the Dodgers won, probably were a lot closer than it
really looked like because the Dodgers had to get the
three run homer from ta Oscar to win that first game,
and then the second one got Harry at the end,
but they got out of there too, and oh and
everybody's feeling, oh this is sweet. But those games were
not blowout so this was a definitely a heavyweight fight.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
It was. It was a tough series, you know, but
I we all look at the stars and obviously show
hey had a tough, tough series. Mookie good series, Freddy
certainly t o terrific as usual at this time of
year Philly, though, when you think about their top three guys,
because I think the bottom of the order is good,
but I think it's average. Once you get past the
(02:21):
third guy, I think it becomes a little bit more average.
You know, you got you got Turner, you got Schwarber,
you got Bryce. Somebody said they were like three for
thirty five in the de seats, and you got your
best players got to be your best players in these
types of games, and I don't think the best players
were their best players. On the other hand, the Dodgers
(02:43):
had enough depth that they continue to grind out at best.
They continue to go through the order. You as you
look at Kiky Hernandez, who's a bigger October. We've talked
about this many times, a bigger October player than him.
Phil doesn't have that player, even though he hits two
hundred for six months. It's just there's just too much
depth for the Dodgers compared to the other teams. And
(03:05):
when you lack that, your best have got to be
your best. And in a case of Philly, their best
at three for thirty five in the Defeast, maybe maybe
hit two fifty overall to Coddle and all the even
the games they won or the game one game they
won not enough.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, And if you got the big three, at least
one of those big three's got to have a you know,
a big series, because if all three are struggling, then
you're really in trouble, like you mentioned, without the depth.
And that's the thing you know about the Dodgers is
everybody does focus on the big three old Tony, Betts
and Freeman. But you look up and you gotta face
taosk Hernandez and then you think you you're you're through
(03:43):
the heart and heavy part of the lineup. And and
as you mentioned, KK comes up and can kill you
and hurts you. Tommy Edmond can come up, as you know,
hitting down in the lineup can can hurt you to
turn it over, and he and as much as he
struggled in the series of piez at twenty seven home
runs and was a big factor for this team all
(04:04):
season long. So the depth factor is, like you said,
is out of control. But when you look at it,
let's go to the pitching, ned because I thought pitching wise,
if you're a fan of pitching, I think yesterday's game
and this really, this series has been remarkable from a
pitching standpoint, What.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Do you think?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Oh? Absolutely, and I think I think overall, I mean,
it's another difference maker for the Dodgers over anybody else
they play. We give him that in a second. But
I thought there were great pitch games. There were very
few guys. It was only one game that really got
out of hand. The rest of them came down to
the end. You think about yesterday's game, deciding game, one
(04:47):
run is scored on a pitcher's fielding air. To score
a Philly run, one run is scored by a walk
with the bases loaded, and the other run is scored
by Philly pitching air. So it's not like guys were
driving the ball. It's not like guys had a lot
of rallies. There were hardly any rallies in this series.
(05:08):
I don't consider necessarily a three run home or a
rally a little bit of a rally. I mean, you
take it any day of the week. But it's not
like you're giving up three, four, or five six hits
in an inning, or five to six base runners in
an inning. But that's what good pitching we'll do. And
Philly's starting pitching was excellent. Not enough as compared to
the Dodgers. But you know, the top two guys were really,
(05:30):
really good, and you know they exposed some weaknesses or
at least some gaps and approaches right here right now,
which if the other teams, the Milwaukee, Chicago group, or
anybody in the American League that survives today and along
with Toronto, they're paying attention, they may have learned a
little bit. But again, as to your point, the pitching,
(05:51):
the pitching was terrific in this series. Great stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, and for the Dodgers, I mean all season long,
he kept going okay, when when they get healthy, they'll
be all right. This is what Andrew Freeman did in
the offseason was addressed the pitching, especially the starting pitching situation,
bringing in Snell, getting to Zaki over and some other guys.
And it's paying off now because these guys are healthy.
(06:15):
And we talked about this now. I think we talked
about it with you. How you know, Glass Now was
almost a forgotten guy when you got you know, o Tani,
I'm a Moto Snell going for you, and glass Now
was kind of a guy. Maybe he comes out of
the pen in the in these series in which he
did and did well, but yesterday.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's the glass.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
I think the Dodgers when they signed him were looking
for because he was lights out and ned for for
those six six and then whatever he went in that.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Game, no doubt. And you know, as a pitching always
wins in my mind. You know, you can chase the
scoreboard and once in a while you're gonna prevail. But
pitching is in my mind, a defensive aspect to the
to the sport, and if you've got good pitching, it's
going to be tough for somebody to beat you. As
we look at anybody who's still playing or anybody that
(07:06):
just stopped playing, except for maybe Philly glasnow might be
their ace. He might be the ace on some of
these staffs that are remaining. He might be their number
one guy. Here he's the number four guy, and he's
a guy who's going to pitch out of the pen
when he's got enough rest to do that between starts.
But that's what I mean. They've just got too much
of the depth, whether it's in the lineup, whether it's
(07:28):
in the rotation, and because of the depth in the rotation,
suddenly your bullpen has a little bit different choices to
it a little bit more depth because those are starting pitchers,
you know in some cases. And then he got Sasaki
who's like, you know, to me, it's like Francisco Rodriguez
back in two at Anna.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
You know, he's come on and he's been dominant. What
he did yesterday and in big time moments was almost
historic in a lot of different ways. And the pitch
in Philly, which he did, and there was a thing
I brought up last week, you know, to pitch out
of that bullpen in Philly as a visiting team with
the fans right on top of you and you know,
(08:06):
and pushing it to break a little bit. The kid
had tremendous poise and great stuff. You know. It's it's
remarkable because that deal there was that was not a
financial deal, because anybody could have signed him for the
same amount of money. Everybody had it. That was him
being attracted to La and the culture of this team
(08:27):
and Yamamoto and Otani and everything that they have built
for the last ten, twelve, thirteen years. That's that's what
attracted him. And now here he is at his age,
with the stuff he's got, I think the other teams
are looking at him right now in the playoffs and
they're going, we can't let him get into the game.
That means something because we're going to have a really
(08:48):
tough time coming back, or even you know, if you're
if you're tied, changing the game like you did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 3 (08:55):
I mean, ned you said the chair and people have
you know, these armchair quarterbacks and armchair pictures and whatever.
Managers sit back and you should have did this, and
you should have did that. But nobody knows the team
better than Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman and those guys that
are in the clubhouse and they know what they're doing.
And there was a time, you know, with Suzaki struggled,
(09:16):
you know, part of this season and you know, was
injured and went on the IL and then you know,
had some minor league starts, and there were a lot
of people just wrote him off and said, okay, we'll
just get him ready for next year. Yet the Dodgers
had a plan for him, and the plan has come
back and it's worked to perfection, and like you said,
for him to do what he did in Philly in
(09:38):
that hostile environment as a young kid, him twenty twenty
one do that in that hostile environment, and then to
go multiple innings yesterday and shut it down. It was incredible.
Do you do you when you comes to Suzaki what
he's doing right now. Is there a possibility they fall
(09:58):
in love with him coming out of pen as opposed
to going back to be a starter.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Well, I think so. I still think he's going to
be a great starting pitcher, not this month, but down
the road, and I think this is a great way
to break him into it. He doesn't have to get
eighteen outs twenty one outs in some cases, he's got
to get three. In some cases he may need to
get less than three. That is far easier for a
(10:23):
young player to adjust to, to adapt to. It's different
than hitting. You get one at bat a game, it's
going to be tough. But if you've got to get
one out of game or three outs a game, you
can get your confidence and you can use your stuff.
And he's got huge stuff all over the place, more
than one pitch, more than two pitches. But he's also
got the poise to deal with it. And it's funny
(10:45):
how how life goes. Sometimes Sometimes we think, you know,
like the curse or the negative is going to ruin
us in this particular case is people as people talked
about the bullpen and and how that was up and down,
and some of the guys everybody counted on didn't they
have good seasons? What are we going to do in
(11:06):
the postseason. Well what happened is it gave birth to
this guy the postseason and maybe the frailty of the
Dodgers' bullpen through this past season regular season allowed him
to get another chance, allowed him to come in in
a different situation. Not to start the game, get us
twenty one outs, no start, you know, finish the game,
(11:27):
you know, hold the score, hold the lead, stop a situation.
And he's been phenomenal at it. So we've taken a negative,
so to speak, or at least a question or a concern,
and now it's turned into him. What a great What
a great combination that is not only in sport but
also in life. When we have something tough going on
(11:48):
and we figure out a way to make it better
and it turns out to be better than it was
before we started.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And then on the
flip side, to have a game in like that. Have
you ever been around in a playoff situation or a
meaningful game that ends the way that went and ended.
I remember was watching it, and as soon as it
happened and the Dodgers won, and excitement and all of that,
(12:14):
I immediately looked at at Kirk at Kirkering, and I
was like, Man, I feel for that kid. I feel
for him because in the moment he kind of panicked
a little bit, and now he's got to think about
that the whole off season. Not to mention, as we've
talked about a lot, is that he's also got to
hear it from the Philly fans and the Philly crowd
because they're relentless. But have you ever been around something
(12:38):
like that that ended that way? And how do you handle?
You know, a young kid who's who's going to be
a big part of their future going forward, and hopefully
it doesn't scar him. But I was feeling for himed
My wife Holly was like, oh, the hell with him,
He's gonna made the throw.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I was like, oh my god, you really are going
for the juggle.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
What in the world but to be.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So, you know, just for the psyche and I love
with Rob Thompson. Did he ran out right away and
gave him a big hug and and and really you know,
consoled him in that moment because it had to be very,
very difficult.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, I look, I look at it. I look at
it this way. Yeah, he could have made the play,
could have went the first base. Perhaps he could have
fielded a clean But in almost any sport, but particularly
in baseball, that play is going to be the play
everybody looks at. But how many times did Philly have
(13:37):
a chance to maybe get a big hit drive in
a couple of runs. How many chances did they have
instead of being one to one at that point in time,
to be five to one or six to one. And
so in the sport of baseball, we you know, it's
easy to focus in on that play because you're going
to be seeing it for a long time. And yeah,
and the fans won't forget that one play. But as
(13:58):
I as I go back, you know, how about how
about three for thirty eight from your big three guys
and three losses? One play is the end of the game.
That one play didn't cost Philly the series? They you know,
I mean, it's not even close to it. You know,
I go back in my career and there's always in
the lcs's or different major games. Is you know one
(14:21):
play that even you know, I go right back to
Jimmy Rollins sitting the triple off Jonathan Broxton and the
LCS Philly, right like that one. But you know what,
we had multiple opportunities not to make that a one
run game when we got to that juncture, and so
the sport is full of opportunities to change games. This
one just happens to be the exclamation point after a
(14:42):
long paragraph of success and some failure for that team.
But it's you know, it was the last play. Did
it cost them the series? Far from it. He actually
kept them in the series. Yeah, that's just my view
of it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you that
Colletti joins NED going forward. Now, Cubbies made it the series.
They went back to Chicago, got two from the from
the Brewers. Now it goes back to Milwaukee. Uh, when
you look at both of those teams, obviously Milwaukee best
record in baseball and the Cubbies were hot pretty much
(15:17):
all season as well. Uh, tougher matchup for the Dodgers
Milwaukee or Chicago.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Tough to say, you know what, I don't I don't
think either team is everybody's got a chance. I think
either team has got a slim chance. And part of
it is because they're still playing. They've still got yet
another game to play, more pitches to burn, more pitchers
to get up and down, all those different things. And
(15:48):
you know, this isn't like trying to be the wild
card team and so you're going to try to run
the table because you just got it. No, these guys
are in, but they have taken each other. They have
battled against each other so much that there's still playing
on Saturday. What the Dodgers doing today and Saturday, you know,
and Sunday they're getting ready for the next week. So
I don't know that either team. To me, it doesn't
(16:10):
matter which team is going to be. I think it'll
be an upset, a major upset if either team can
prevail against the Dodgers. I just I just don't know
how they compete complete, to compete completely against LA when
you've got the lineup that they Dodgers have, the debt
that they've got, and really the pitching they've got, and
(16:31):
now the closer at the end of the game. Because
I watched these other games, you know, the pitching is okay,
but they can't make a pitch that Sasaki can make.
Nobody can. Yamamoto might be able to, but he's also
on the Dodgers Snow the same thing that it just
doesn't line up for me. I don't I think it's
a major upset if the Dodgers don't don't win at
(16:54):
all and maybe only lose another game the rest of
the way, which is a tough order. I get it.
But team they're using bullpen games to get through this series. Well,
if you're going to use a bullpen game against this
lineup and you got either you got Yamamoto, you got Snow,
or you got show Hey, or you got Klasno starting,
(17:14):
good luck, good luck. Yeah, it'll be It'll be a
freakish thing that will have to happen for anybody to
prevail against the Big four and against Asaki and everybody
else that they've got on the pitching rotation and bullpen
and getting through that lineup. How many two hundred hitters
like Keky Hernandez strike as much fear into the opposing
(17:37):
team as this guy does this time of year because
he's calm, he's confident, and he knows he's going to
get a pitch to handle. When pitchers nibble around the
edges and they don't get calls. Now they've got to
throw something closer to the middle. And you do that
against La, it'll be on the scoreboard.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt man.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Man, as we kind of you know, getting down to
to the final four here, uh, you look at teams
like the Phillies and and and even the Yankees because
you sat in that chair, just your your thought process
when when the season is over like it is, I mean,
everybody's screaming at at Aaron Boone and at with the
Yankees and what do they do? And then you look
at the Phillies and and I was watching this morning.
(18:21):
They they've got a they've got some decisions to make
with Kyle Schwarber being a free agent, Rio Muto being
a few a free agent. When when you're that close, ned,
how difficult is it and how much of a importance
is it to you to try to keep the band together?
Speaker 5 (18:42):
Well, it's it's it's vital, But it's also vital that
you have fresh young players that can compete and challenge
for opportunity at the end of the season. I've known
Dave in Boski for as long as my career. And
you know, it's when you get to this point, you're
disappointed and you're exhausted because this thing is. This thing
(19:02):
started Valentine's Day basically, you know, for real, and it
didn't just start that day. It started all went along.
So you've got you've got a very very tough few
days here getting through the mental thought process of what
you just watched. But as you look at your team,
I think Philly's got seven players signed for one hundred
(19:23):
and sixty five hundred and seventy million next year, and
they were close to three hundred million this year. And
free agents, you know there's some out there, but you
know who you're going to get and are they going
to come to this particular location, And you know there's
so many different aspects to it. It's tough. And the Yankees,
you know, kind of the same thing. You know, I
(19:45):
have a tough time blaming managers for situations. I would
have not bunted the other day in the Philly game
that I died her second win. I wouldn't have done that,
But I know that's a strategic day either way. But
it it all comes down to players and how do
players perform that. Did a GM or a coach have
(20:06):
anything to do with a manager anything to do with
three for thirty eight? I doubt it, you know, And
so you know, it's a tough evaluation, and to really
pull back from it, I think is important, and to
really calm your mind and take your emotion out of
it and just try to really figure out where do
(20:27):
we go from here? Where do we fall short. It's
the same thing for a GM, which just takes a
job for the first time in a different city and
maybe better better than GM. You've got to know your people.
You've got to know your situation. You've got to really
know your people, and you can't you can't kid yourself
and you can't over exaggerate on either side of the equation.
(20:48):
And you've got to get to that point in time.
And I'm sure that they will. Everybody cash and and
they will get to that time in another few days
and just calmly go through it and make your emotion
out and figure out what you need to get better.
And this is one of the great things about the Dodgers.
It is so hard to win, and the Yankees have
(21:10):
proved it. The Mighty Yankees have proved it. The great
Phillies have proved it, including having home field advantage in
one of the toughest places to play for an opposing team.
But yet they're home and yet here the Dodgers are
a time in thirteen years going to the LCS with
a chance to go to the fifth World Series in
the last what any years since seventeen, that's like eight years. Yeah,
(21:35):
it's remarkable and we should never take it for granted
because it's not easy to do. They make it look
easy to do, and they give us a little bit
of tough now, a little bit of ozna here and there,
but by and large, what they've done is miraculous. It
doesn't happen. It doesn't happen in sport, let alone this sport.
But that's how good they are.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Nick.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Before I let you go, I wanted to ask you
to because you mentioned the Big Three and on both sides,
and how Philly's guys struggled. Otani's been struggling, and there's
a lot of talk. Well you know, his him pitching
and thinking about pitching, even though he's not pitching that
particular days on his mind is the reason why he's struggling.
(22:18):
What do you see when you're watching Otani, especially in
this series, because he is he is completely lost right now.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Ned well, he as much as he has struggle, and
there's no doubt that he has. I see the same
struggle with with go back to it with Turner, and
Forverer and Harper, you know, not so much Harper, but
the other two guys. You know, they chase, they expand
his own shoe. Hay has been expanding his own and
(22:47):
they've been pitching them away and they've been pitching them in,
so they're changing it. They don't repeat much. They may
repeat a certain pitch and a certain location and he's
in one at that, but they rarely do it. So
if he's guessing and if he's looking away, it might
be in. If he's looking in, it might be a way.
And you know, very few athletes, I mean there's there's
(23:08):
probably a few in the history of sports in my lifetime,
but there's very very few that that when you're expected
to do something and be the best at it, that
sometimes you get. You get anxious. Sometimes you expand what
your thought process is and you don't stay in the
zone that you've been in for for months. You know,
(23:30):
you were great player. You understand some days it just
wasn't there, or some days it was tougher to get
to the point of competition or execution. I should say,
then it's other days. But see, I look at it
another way too, with him that he had this type
of series, the chances of him continuing that had this
(23:51):
type of series going forward, I think are very slim.
So you're still playing, You're still in it. And the
greatest in the game right now has struggled for a
little while, but that ain't gonna last forever. So how
much better are they gonna be when he figures it out?
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Well, Net, it's always great to talk to you many.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (26:55):
Last night I think it was it was a pretty
pretty Uh.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I think it was our toughest matchup against the phil
I think we're we're looking good going into the NFES.
I mean, I prefer the Cubs, but I think we
can do it to the Brewers too.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
All right, thank you, Glad.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
A question for you?
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Oh yeah, well quick kick. I know you felt bad
about mister Kirkman, whatever his name was. Did you feel
as bad for Judge last year when he missed that?
I think it was a Centisolde drop Brett.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
No, I didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
You didn't feel anything for Aaron Judge when he dropped
that fly ball in Tennifield had led to the beginning
that the Dodgers ended up winning the World Series.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
He didn't feel bad for him at all. No, No,
but thanks right. Here's why I didn't feel bad at
all because that because that was part of the game.
You could argue, well, last night was part of the game. No,
last night was the deciding moment in the game. And
you could say, yeah, but it led to a beginning
for the Dodgers last year, it ended the Philly season.
If Aaron Judge had dropped the ball last year and
(27:53):
the Dodgers had won the World Series on that exactly
did win the World Series on that in that game?
But not that play, not that play. Sorry, some would
argue different. Okay, that was the play that led the
Dodgers to win in the World Series. No, I got it.
That led them to win. Last night was the moment,
(28:16):
the defining factor that ended it for the Phillies. All right,
here's Ralph Ralph in Ontario. Ralph, go ahead.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Yeah, guys, was that the toughest game the Dodgers have
played this year?
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:31):
I would have to agree. But is it smooth scaling
from this point on? Not by a long shot, Guys.
Until the Dodger bats wake up and you know who
I'm talking about, We're not in any kind of smooth
saving whatsoever. I'm excited. I like our chances because of
our pitching, and I think Roberts made some brilliant decisions.
(28:55):
Some people won't agree with me, but I think Roberts
is doing a great job. And I think whoever he's
play in the next round, I think we're gonna be
just fining.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
All right, appreciate it, thanks so much. Let's go Paul,
Paul down in Long Beach. Paul, what's going on?
Speaker 9 (29:12):
As far as pure empathy goes, Rodney's right in the
comparison between this guy last night and Judge drapping the
ball are very apt, both in critical moments. Yes, fred
one ended the season, so it makes it a little
bit on another level. But then again, the other one
was in the deciding game of the World Series, which
puts that one at another level. So here's my take.
(29:34):
My initial take is at the it was a hardliner
back to the pitcher, and the pitcher was basically playing
goldtender at that moment. He knocked the ball down. At
that point, he has not made an error. I think
everyone will agree on that. The ball is about three
feet from him and he hasn't made an error. Now
he picks up the ball and throws it wide of
(29:58):
the guy who had the place blocked, and the guy
did not. The guy didn't touch the plate. So do
I think it was an air it's borderline. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (30:09):
But is it something like the guy at first base
Bill Buckner? Now not even close in significance or in
in error?
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You know here, well, here here's the thing, Bill Buckner.
Great poll, by the way, very solid.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Pull.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Uh last night that was a metal mistake. That was
a metal mistake. Now you can say, well, Bucker made
a metal mistake too. It didn't put his glove down.
Last night was a mental mistake. Physical mistakes are going
to happen. You hope they don't bang bang.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
It was gonna be bang bang at first base? Red,
don't you think?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Uh? What do I think? Sitting there? Watching. If I'm
gonna be really honest, I said to the people, he
had PA has it first. He had Pa has it first, Riamudo.
Riammuda was actually pointing go to first. I don't think
anybody watched him thought he wouldn't go to first. And
Rodney made a great point earlier, Paul. He said, there's
(31:08):
no way the pitcher can know where Kim is at
that moment. He's got to assume he's going to score.
But you have two outs. You have two outs, so
the play would be to first base. The only way
the play is to the plate in that situation, little dribbler, here,
you charge the ball. You got no shot to get
(31:30):
him at first. You know that. Now you got one hope,
and that's go to the plate. I thought it was
a mental mistake. That's why it was so critical, A
physical mistake as I dropped the ball. A mental mistake
is I caught the ball but didn't know where to
throw it. I do it to the wrong place and
that led somebody to score. Does that make sense?
Speaker 9 (31:48):
I tell you the kids that it totally makes sense.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
That and the two.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Players I would like to see come to the Dodgers
as the fat kid from Chicago who was on the
cub Schwarmer and he's a creator, right, Yes, this picture,
this picture, he's gonna this picture is so you know,
beside himself, and he's gonna be sunned by these asshole
fans from uh Philadelphia, come to the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Baby, all right?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Thanks Paul Kid from Chicago. Thanks, all right, let's go
to China. Lynn. Oh, now what's the problem here? Lynn?
Speaker 10 (32:26):
Hey, guys, Uh, last night that picture just panicked because
I was spurred a moment play reaction and he just
made the wrong choice and threw the ball away. It
was just human error last night.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Yep, you're right, but uh yeah, And I.
Speaker 10 (32:41):
Also don't think the tough They played their toughest oppony Phillies.
As it goes, it gets tougher. But guess what Otani
and Freeman hasn't leave in the yard like they're capable of.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Do.
Speaker 10 (32:56):
Imagine they get up to Milwaukee and rechab it. Now
one wait to another world series?
Speaker 5 (33:01):
Baby?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
All right? All right? Love it? Lynn, Thanks man, thanks
for calling the show. Appreciate it. Let's see Kevin has
sent an updated board. You want to do that? All right? Well?
Is that Henry? Where's Henry yet I can't even see
Henry Lapente. Yeah, come on, Henry, come on, Henry, give
me some.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Anyways, I wanted to talk about your commentary about the show.
Hey o Tani moving him out of the lead offf
position and moving him down in the pitching rotation because
he's had a tough time in the last four games. Yeah,
I mean in the wild Card series he's hit home runs.
That was just four games ago. And also he's pitching.
He was going against Christopher Sanchez, who's number two in
(33:45):
the Cy.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Young Award race in the National League.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
If the word for a gun in his skeens, he
would be your Sy Young Award winner.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, Harry, I can't. I can't. You know what, Harry, Harry, Harry,
I can. I can bite on he hit against the Reds, Okay,
I'll give you that fair, but I can't. I can't
bite against well. Yeah, but this guy could be a
Cy Young winner.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Tani's supposed to be the best hitter and the best
player in baseball. I don't care. If Cy Young was pitching,
he should be able to hit him.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
I'm left.
Speaker 6 (34:14):
Those guys are good pitchers and they're not gonna be
facing those guys in the next round.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
I said, you stick with what.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
You got, all right, Harry, thanks man, appreciate it. Oh,
we have more people on hold, So here's what we'll do.
Let's take quick break. Yeah, I got Edgar Carlos is
sitting there. If I haven't mentioned your name, and you're there.
Felix is there, Felix got somebody in Culver City. All right, Kevin,
(34:42):

back to the calls. We appreciate your holding. We'll start
with Edgar in Anaheim. Edgar, thank you for holding. Go ahead,
let's go Dodgers baby, Yes, which, yeah, guys.
Speaker 10 (35:37):
What I think?
Speaker 11 (35:38):
Okay, here's what I haven't heard anybody give credit to
the Dodgers stadium, the fans. I think the stadium is
gonna become hostile. I think the Dodgers are so popular
now that Oltani is a never a newspaper on the planet.
So when teams come to LA, they feel the pressure,
and you're gonna start seeing mistakes like mental errors. You're
gonna start seeing things are gonna be happening. I think
(36:00):
that's what's happening now. I think we're building up to something.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
All right. Interesting, you're saying the stage is too big
for everybody else. The Dodger stage is too large. It's
intimidating to come to Dodger Stadium and play for some.
Speaker 11 (36:12):
Of these I think it's gonna become that way. I
think we're gonna start seeing a lot of incredible things
coming in the years to come.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
All right, let's go to Glendora. Edward, thanks man, that's
your hold on Carlos Is in Glendora, Carlos, how are
you today?
Speaker 7 (36:29):
I'm doing great? Ready, Hey, I think that we would
be better off playing the Cubs, only because Milwaukee had
our number last time when they swept us in that
last series. And I think as far as Otani goes,
he's a smart ballplayer. He wouldn't be where he is
if he wasn't a smart ball player. See, if you
(36:50):
let him play his game, let him calm down, think
he'll be fine. And Rodney, I got one. I want
to say something to you. I saw your lady on
a NETI episode of Law and Order the other night,
and let me tell you something, brother, she is an
amazing dramatic actress.
Speaker 5 (37:07):
Man.
Speaker 7 (37:08):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I think.
Speaker 7 (37:09):
She played a distraught, distraught wife of some official.
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Yeah yeah, hey.
Speaker 7 (37:14):
Yeah, hey brother, you know what, if that's her acting,
don't tick her off, man, All right, I got that right.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Appreciate that, man. I'll let her know. Carlos. Thanks. And
by the way, did she kill somebody in that show?
Rodney herself? No, she didn't. Yeah, no she didn't. Oh yeah,
it was it was deep. It was deep.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
She was actually really emotional after that that scene she did. Yeah, yeah,
so it was.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
It was. It was deep.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
It was a deep scene and a deep episode that
she played on Law and Order with her good good
friend Mariska hargod Day.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
People love her, Yeah, they do.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Maybe that's that's been on twenty like twenty six years
or something. Unbelievable. She's very likable. She's a good person too.
What I didn't know. I didn't know this until recently.
Holly knew this all the time, that she is the
daughter of Jane Manstel.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Yes. Yes, And they did that documentary. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
I didn't realize that until leading up and they were
they were doing this doc was coming out, and it's like,
really had no idea, and then that watched the doc
which was fascinating, fascinating documentary. You have an opportunity to
check it out. It's it's it's brilliant, brilliantly done.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Okay, let's go Culver City, Kevin, thanks for holding go ahead.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
Man, Hey, guys, a great game. I gotta get some
proplets to my boy Tyler Glass now from a new
Hall represented big. He finally became a Dodger in that game.
And I think about these compellacy, compelling matches we had
in this town Lakers, Sacramento, Kings, forty nine Ers Rams.
This was a price fight in that magnitude. This was
(38:52):
this was a heavyweight fight.
Speaker 13 (38:53):
Between two great teams. Christopher Sanchez mowing down guys, Glass
now mowing down guys. Looking at the hitters. They were
going back and forth, and I want to give a
shout to Dave Roberts making a move that won't come
up in the in the shows. But Alex call you
look at him wife, Ilex calling in the lineup. Look
at his numbers against Christopher Stantis in that inning where
the Dodgers type the game, he was grinding out that
(39:14):
a bad against Santas. He got that great walk to
start the inning off and then it led to Keith
Aaron and single and it just got everything started and
he got him out of the game. You bring in
Durraan like I thought they would, and Mookie Best taking
that walk ties the game. They made the right plays
and they grind it out at best. That's what it's
about about winning. Give him some props to Susaki, great
(39:36):
clutch performance three innings. That was incredible. And like I said,
playing the Phillies, these two teams going back and forth,
those are the two teams, two best teams in baseball,
and the Dodgers bought it. Otani he did.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
I feel he's excited. I feel man, now, I hear you,
but we got to hit the top of the hour
break here in a second. Good job, Kevin. All right,
let's finish with Felix and San Diego.
Speaker 5 (40:02):
Go ahead, Felix, what's happening, guys?
Speaker 14 (40:05):
You know what I'm gonna tell you guys right quick,
because I know you gotta go Sasaki series MVP Glass. Now,
like the previous colors said, I'm glad he came through
fine on by the way, Rodney this weekend, yes, sir,
And I'm gonna tell you, guys what. I'm gonna be
honest with everybody down here in San Diego. That was
(40:26):
me in Miramar putting that final play twice over the
PA last night. That a good week in gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
All right, Felix, take it easy, appreciate you listening. Let's
go all right. Next hour, I'm gonna tell you the
social media issue I have with the Phillies fans. I'm
gonna let you know what that is. And I don't
know if you caught it or not, but we certainly
(40:59):
caught it. But when we come back to the NFL,
let's get ready. Vinnie Bonsignoro join us.
