Speaker 1 (00:02):
All right, let's go to work, fred Rugan Rodney Pete
on a five to seventy LA Sports, a three hour
program for us today and coming up at one, our
weekly visit with our good friend Ed Eric Dickerson. Okay, Rodney,
So the Dodgers are back in Los Angeles. They're up
two games to none. I think things are looking pretty
good right now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Ah, that's so fast, Freddy. It's still a seven game series. Yes,
you gotta be feeling pretty good if you're a Dodger fan.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
After you're the.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Dodgers going into Milwaukee, which has been all season long
a very difficult place to play with the best team
in baseball record wise all season, the Ghost snatch two
games there at their place. It has to be first
of all, demoralizing for them, after going through the season
that they had and then the way that the Dodgers
(00:54):
have beat them. It also has to be doubly demoralizing
because all season long, we've been saying this, wait till
the Dodgers get healthy, wait till their staff get healthy.
What they did in the off season is gonna pay
off in October. You know, can the Dodgers ever get healthy?
If they ever get healthy they're the best staff in baseball. Well,
(01:15):
they're healthy and they're proven it right now that Andrew
Freeman knew what he was doing. And this staff, I
can't remember first two games being as dominant as they've been.
From a pitcher standpoint, both Snell and Yamamoto in these
first two games have been magnificent, I think, more so
(01:38):
than what people expected. But I think internally this is
what the Dodgers felt that these guys could do, the
staff could do, especially from a starting pitching standpoint, and
they are delivering. Not to mention, they still got Glass
now and Otani and Kershaw. I mean, they still got
a plethora of guys that they can throw at you.
So this has got to be you know, as Milwaukee
(02:00):
comes to La looking at this, going, man, how do
we get four wins? How do we get four wins
from this team? Well, they're not going to so they
shouldn't even know about it. Well, there's nothing even to
ponder here. It's not gonna happen. How are they going
to four wins? They're not getting Milwaukee. You think you
can do it, Fred, of course they think they can
do it. We just get got to get one. We
(02:20):
get Glass now tomorrow we can just get after him Otani.
You know, we're not expecting him to go a complete
game like Yamamodal, So we can just hold him at
bay and get to that bullpen. We'll be all right
against Otani as well. So that's the way you got
to optimistically look at this if you're Milwaukee. But man,
(02:40):
you gotta at least have gotten one in Milwaukee if
you're them, and they didn't. And so, I mean, I
know you're suggesting that don't even get on the plane
to come out here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well it's too late. They're already here. But well, I
mean they're here, they might as well do something. They
turn around and go back, Is that what you're saying. No,
they're here, so there's no reason to go back. Get
us sweat there.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
They're here.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Fun come out and get us wet in. Is that
what you're thinking? For it?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Walk?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You know, ground yourself, take off your shoes, feel the field,
enjoy that grass at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But the series is over. Here's the thing. Enjoy la
Maybe go to Disneyland, maybe why not? Why not enjoy it? Yeah,
after the rain, enjoy a beautiful sunshine that we have today,
and the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm sure they'll give you a discount. If the whole
team goes you can get a guide, they'll cut you
through the lines. It'll be great. Go enjoy yourself. Here.
A couple of things. First of all, the way the
Dodgers are built, and it's fascinating. This is playing out
the way it is because of the journey during the
regular season. But as I said before, they tow the
(03:44):
first pitch of the first game, this is all that matters.
Just get to the tournament and see what happens. Everybody's
healthy at the right time. It's amazing. Give any injuries
they went through this year, this is absolutely amazing. This
staff is old school. The way they doing it now
is very old school. If you're old enough, you'll remember
(04:05):
back in the days where you had four stud starters
and those guys went and they went as long as
they could every game. You just had four studs. You
really didn't even know the closer's name or who was
in the bullpen because you expected your guy to go.
That's how baseball was played many many, many, many many
(04:25):
years ago, and this is a throwback to that. The
Dodgers have the most dominating pitching staff in baseball. Now
they hoped they would. They constructed the team in that manner.
They needed everybody to be healthy, the most dominant pitching staff,
(04:47):
and you're in and year out, whether they win or
they lose in the playoffs. What do we always say,
good pitching. You gotta have good pitching. Good pitching will win.
Now it comes down to how much good pitching do
you have last year because of the injury situation. And
I don't think anybody really gives the Dodgers enough credit
(05:09):
for what happened last year, Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman, Brandon Gomes.
For them to win the World Series with the pitching
staff they had was mind boggling. It was one of
the great achievements in baseball history. Just think about that,
and now compare that to this when you do have
great starting pitching, the best pitching not in the playoffs
(05:33):
in baseball. Anybody on the Dodger staff one through four,
and now we have Emmit Sheen. So Emmit Sheen would
not be the ace of anyone's staff, but he would
be the number two. Everybody else that is pitching for
the Dodgers would be the ace of any staff in
(05:54):
Major League Baseball. You have four of them. Yeah, you
have four. You just have to appreciate how incredibly unusual
that is. So look at it like this. If the
Dodgers were the Brewers in this scenario and they were
(06:15):
facing the Dodger pitchers, we would be sitting here and saying,
there is no way we can beat these guys at
this pitching. They've got the best pitching they do. That's
where we're at a throwback. Today's gone by, I mean
years and years ago. You just got the best pitching
(06:36):
and just let them go. You know, I was thinking, Rodney,
before the playoffs started, you were saying, I'd let these
guys go. I'll let them go. I wouldn't pull them,
let them go. And I was thinking about this last
night after Yamamoto goes a distance, and I was thinking,
during the regular season, it is so grueling and there
(06:57):
are so many games that what you try to do
is basically fight a war of attrition and get to
the end as healthy as you can, because that's really
what the regular season is. I mean, for some teams
it's everything because they can't sniff the postseason. But for
the Dodgers, it's just trying to be healthy at the
right time. It's trying to get to where you need
(07:18):
to be at the right time. So yeah, there are
games where Dave Roberts will go out and yank a gun,
and you're going, why the hell's he doing that? Why
is he going out and getting him now? Why can't
he go over one hundred pitches? I mean, we're in
Pittsburgh in August, but he could make it. And I
started to think because of what you said, you know,
(07:39):
why maybe he didn't let him go one hundred and
twenty pitches in August and Pittsburgh Because now's the time.
You were right before we started this, you were right.
Now's the time. Now there's no limit. You go till
you're done. We'll go with the eye test. If you
got it and you're doing what you're supposed to do
(08:01):
and you're one of the aces, the only team with
pitching like this, we're gonna let you go finish it.
He we got out of the other night with Blake
Snell coming out of the game. That will not happen again,
I assure you. I guarantee you that won't happen again.
If a guy's got a chance. But finish it. He's
gonna finish it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, you don't think they pull him, you know, for instance,
tomorrow Glass now goes Now he he is of I
think of of the four starters, including I'm including Otani
on this now, of the four starters, I think he
is the one that's most likely not to get a
complete game. Would you agree with that? No? No, I
(08:44):
will not agree with that. Most likely. I'm not saying
he won't. No, No, most likely, And because you said
most likely, I will say no. And here's why Otani
is the one most likely not to get a complete game.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's the guy you'll go get.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
If Otani's dealing like Yamamoto is dealing last night, you
think he go get him in the eighth.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You don't let him. You don't let him come out
in the eighth or the night. No, no, But we
have to assume he's dealing like Yamamoto was. I don't
think that's the case. I think he'll throw too many pitches. Now,
he'll probably go out and you know, retire twenty seven
guys in a row. But I think the guy least
likely to go the disc And let me rephrase, rephrase.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
The I guess the stamina of the ability to go
a complete game, because if you let Otanni go, he'll go.
If you ask him, he'll go. Whereas we've seen class
Now kind of in that seventh and he kind of
depending on obviously depends on everything, depends on pitch count,
kind of run out of gas a little bit. So
(09:55):
I'm thinking that if it's similar with Otani as you're Moto,
they also let Otani go.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yes, yes, And when you phrase it like that, it's
different because you're saying Otani. Otani's not coming out of
the game period. It doesn't matter. Otani will pitch fifty
innings in a row if they want him to. That's
just how he's wired. He's not coming out. So yeah,
he'll finish, all right, he'd finish on one leg. I mean,
(10:25):
he doesn't care. He's going to finish if they let
him finish now. So then the question becomes, do we
think class now has the oomph to finish? And I'm
not sure. Yeah, you make a valid point seventh Thinny,
he might get a little shaky. You might get a
(10:46):
little shaky, but if he with him, it is pitch count.
It's pitch count. That's what it is. With him. If
he is efficient, Yes, he can he can do it.
He can go all the way. If he has a
thirty pitch inning, No he can't. But what I saw
on the last outing, what you saw in the last outing, Yeah,
(11:11):
I think he can go.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's dominant, and the pitchcount was low. And here's the
thing on the pitchcount, I don't think it mattered. Do
you think it mattered last night the way Yamamoto was going.
Do you think pitchcount even mattered?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No, and it can't. Now, you're right, Yeah, you're right.
You were right before we started, and I think Dave
Roberts learned with the Blake Snowcam. You're right. Yeah, this
is why we have these guys. No, somebody cannot be
throwing one hundred and seventy five pitches.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Let's just be honest. Yeah, there comes a point where, yeah,
it becomes ridiculous. Yes, but if you're hovering, if you're
between that hundred, one hundred and twenty twenty five pitches,
you go, you go, You have to go, you go.
And what you seen and what you've been able to
witness all season long is if your pitcher is getting
(12:06):
you to the ninth inning and he's obviously he's doing
well to get you there. No one coming out of
the pen this year is going to be better than
Blake Snell or Yamamoto or I would even say todder
Glass now and even Otani. If they have gotten you
to the eighth inning and they have shut it down
(12:28):
and been lights out and they're at one hundred and
five pitches, Ain't nobody coming out of that pen, including
Trying and including Sasaki, that is going to be better
than them and what they've done in that particular game.
So at the very least, I'm letting them start that
ninth and get get one hitter, and let me see
where you are.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
One hundred percent. One hundred percent. We can't even debate that. Now,
when you have this pitching staff, you let them go
as long as they can go. You've positioned it this way.
Everybody's healthy at the exact right time. So yeah, let
them go. I thought last night, first pitch, boom, home run.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What did you think, Oh, here comes that Milwaukee team
that everybody saw season long, or would you think, oh
that's just an anomaly, hot hitter got one okay, Or
did you think, oh god, here they come.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You know what I thought, envision this. I put my
head in my hands and looked down. That's what I thought.
I just went, oh no, oh no, no, this is
not good. And then so then I composed myself because
I thought, because if that was the change, we could
(13:52):
have been seeing the performance he had in Philadelphia too,
Rodney Yamamoto, Okay, and that was a bit of an anomaly,
doesn't it can't happen again. So he hits the home run,
and I'm like, oh god, and I'll bet you anybody
watching or listening on the radio station of the app
went oh my god, no, this is all we need.
(14:16):
So now I'm like watching him like a hawk. Well,
by the way, it's gonna mean absolutely nothing me watching
him a certain way. But I've decided I must make
a decision. Like everything that was watching, yeah, or listening
to the game, Now it's up to us. We will
decide what happens next. He got out of the first inning,
I felt a little better. I said, all right, that's fine,
(14:37):
it's one run. Well we get that back, all right,
Now we're good. We're good. But now you're sitting there
and you're anticipating, oh, what could happen next? You know,
could be could this be the inningwhere it goes south?
But as he started moving through, no, no, no, no,
we're fine. Now we're good. He's good. Let's just get
enough runs here because he's gonna he's gonna do the job.
(14:59):
And I guess if you have to, you have one up,
give it up right, then that's it. It becomes a
faint memory. Did that even happen? What happened? Nothing to
see here because you wanted.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
To sniff of run after that. They didn't even come
close to scoring to run after that. And it was
a unbelievable performance because, yeah, after his last performance against
the Phillies where he got knocked around a little bit,
you could think, oh, first pitch, first home run, and
(15:33):
first inning, oh man, got it, Well, here we go.
And he settled in and became lights out and was
dealing for eight more innings after that. It was it
was so impressive that bounce back, and you're right, if
it's going to happen, let it happen early. And let's
let's let's face it, cheerios win hot hottest hitters in
(15:54):
baseball over the last month, so you know there again.
I always say that they got players, they're gonna They're
gonna at some point get theirs, but you can't allow
them to get it in bunches. And they've been able
to neutralize that lineup. And I'm sure Milwaukee and their
fans are shells, Jock going. We've been scoring runs all
(16:15):
season long.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We can't we can't get anything going. And we're at
our home ballpark, man, and now we got to go
there for three. That's a that's a that's a daunting task.
And man, tonight of glass nails on. And the Dodgers
right now they're feeling it, and they're starting to feel
it more and more offensively as well. And they're doing
(16:39):
this without Otani doing really anything offensively.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Let me say this, I just want to point one
thing out, one more pitching thing. Then I want to
address what you said last pitching thing. You know, last
night they beat Freddy Peralta. So the guy, Yes, they
beat Freddy Paralta. That would be like they beat Blake Snell.
Yeah right, yeah, think about that game one Blake Snell
(17:07):
goes out and gets annihilated. How are the Dodgers gonna
feel or you lose the first game, but now we're
gonna put snell in im. He's gonna get this this
square up, We're gonna get right back in it and
it gets bombed. How do you feel, not only did
you lose what you lost with your best guy, they
made your best guy look average. Keep that in mind.
(17:31):
How many pitchers have they used? Thirty five already? The
first game was a bullpen game. Last night they went
back to the bullpen again. Yeah, I mean they they're
running through those guys like water. Who's is Cantina going
in the next one? I think he is. If he goes,
(17:52):
Oh God, that's gonna be. That's gonna be. Merry Christmas.
And here's why something you said. If you look at
the top three hitters in the Dodger lineup so far, okay,
in the postseason, they're hitting two thirty five. By the way,
(18:13):
let's everybody take them inute. Andy pie Haz, Andy pie
has got a hit last night. Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Andy Pie Haz is on the board. Good and get
the party. Andy piez right, welcome to party. And here's
a good thing. This party's continuing. So you come on in,
you join us.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
So so far, top three hitters in the postseason they're
hitting two thirty five. That's not going to get it done.
And we know what Tani struggling, That is not going
to get it done. Let's look at hitters six through nine,
three h two, fourteen runs batted in thirty five hits
(18:55):
now during the regular season. If we're to be honest,
what did we say, man at bottom third of the
orders killing us. Yeah, they can't hit their head size,
they can't get on base. But this is why they're
built the way they are. One group helps the other.
(19:15):
Top of the order is struggling. They're hitting two thirty
five two, and change those guys six to nine hitting
three to zero two. There's another problem for the Brewers
or whoever the Dodgers play.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They can't relax. You can't ever relax if you're opposing
pitch or team against this lineup. And yeah, the big
three jump out at you as being the Big three
and Otani, Mooki and Freddy, But man, you go down
that lineup and you gotta face Max Munci who had
a home run last night, like oh god, oh yeah,
(19:50):
oh Kik you know barely hit a two hundred all season.
Oh double down the line. I mean, it's just relentless
lineup that they have that you think you're okay when
you get Otani out, you know, you see the fans
they go crazy, We got him, we got Otani. All
of a sudden, Mookie gets on. Oh oh we got Freddy.
(20:13):
We struck out Freddy. Will Smith is a double. You know,
Max Munsey comes up and hits a home run or
hits a double or gets a single. Tommy Edmund gets
it just relently. You mentioned Andy Piez double down the
line yesterday, got him going, and it just changes, it
(20:34):
changes everything. I mean, like you said, they had to
use eurebe their best guy out of the pen yesterday
for multiple innings, and they got caught warming him up.
And that's when Pia is that that double that took
it from a two to one game to a three
to one game. All of a sudden, you're down two
(20:54):
and you're bringing in basically your best bullpen guy that
normally you bring in the close games or when you're ahead,
and now you're playing from behind. It's just it's just
it's thrown off all the metrics and all the things
that they think about from what they've been doing all
season long. Because the lineup for the Dodgers is so relentless,
and the starting pitching for the Dodgers has been dominant.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's just call it the way it is. Milwaukee doesn't
know what to do. Let's just be honest. Why do
we have to lie? They are so completely baffled and overwhelmed.
They don't know what to do. What they did is
not working, and it's not working because the Dodger pitching
is so good. That's why it's not working. Yeah, but
(21:39):
we're gonna score a lot of runs against the right now,
the four best pitchers in baseball. Look at it like that.
The Dodgers have the four best pitchers in baseball on
the same team, in the same rotation, in the same series.
They don't know what to do. I wouldn't know what
(22:00):
to do either. Yeah. You see their manager Pat Murphy.
Everybody likes that, right, Yeah, he loves him. What are
you gonna do? If you look at his face, yeah,
he's like, what's saying exactly what you just said?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
In his mind, he's saying the same thing he said.
Obviously he didn't say it outwardly, but he in his
mind said, what do you want us to do? Well,
what do you wantus to do. They got the four
best pitchers in baseball. They got a lineup that has
gotten hot at the right time. If I criticize the
Dodgers for not having any offense, can't swing the back,
and all of a sudden, now they're all swinging the back.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
What do you want us to do? We throw our
best guys out him and.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
We can't get anything going, and yet they're hitting the
ball all over the lot?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What do you want us to do? That's exactly what's
going on here when you watch them, if you watch
on TV, hopefully you'll go to a game at the stadium,
and if you listen on the radio, Steven Nelson and
Rick Mondy do a terrific job of describing guy's emotions.
But if you're watching on TV, watch their faces, watch
their body language. Remember when the Dodgers went through that
(23:08):
horrific slump this year, Rodney, Remember that, Yeah, they couldn't hit,
and we sat here every day and we'd say, look
at their body language. Just look at them. They don't
look like they're going to win. Shoulders slumped, low energy,
seemingly disinterested, but never so because they couldn't figure it out,
(23:34):
and one thing would lead to another, and they'd fall
deeper into the abyss until they finally came out of it. Okay,
that's Milwaukee right now. Watch them, and I guarantee you
tomorrow they'll come out on fire at three eight great
start time. They'll come out tomorrow, and they will come
out on fire. They will come out fired up, energized.
(23:56):
They will come out as if this is the beginning
of a new series. Forget the first two games. You
watch what happens. If they get behind, just watch them.
If they get behind tomorrow, watch them, and even worse,
if it's close tomorrow. But then in the late innings,
the Dodgers do what they do and beat them. You
(24:18):
watch those guys. You watch them, and if they get
smoked tomorrow, they'll get swept.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah they yeah. I mean, I
don't even think it doesn't matter how the game goes,
if they get smoked or they lose a close game
in the end, it is it is when this win
or get swept, because they're not winning down three to zero.
(24:49):
They're not winning down three. Oh and think about them,
you know, as you kind of plan forward, and I
know they gotta you know, you tell yourself one game
at a time. But in order for them to win
this series, they gotta go back and beat Blake, Snell
and Yamamoto. Think about that, like, Okay, we can come back,
(25:09):
but to come back, we gotta run through last not
at night, but Otani's on the hill, and then we
gotta run through Blake, Snell and Yamamoto again, and we
gotta win every one of those games.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
We gotta play basically eer free, clean baseball. We can't
make one mistake. Yeah, one mistake can do us. So
we have to be perfect, and we can because we're
really good. And here's what we have to beat Glassnew Otani, Snell,
and Yamamoto. Now, if we can just get by those guys,
we're back. Really that's gonna happen. And look, the Brewers
(25:49):
have had a great year and we're not trying to
be cruel, but let's just be honest about this thing.
No one's gonna beat the Dodgers when the Dodgers are
firing on all cylinders. I said it, It's true, no one,
you will not beat them if they are firing on
all cylinders. This is the plan they had going into
(26:14):
the season. This is why the roster was constructed the
way it is, you can't beat them. If they beat Milwaukee,
and let's assume that that probably will happen, they'll probably
sweep Seattle too, I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh, Freddie really, Oh you're saying that. Yeah. The last year,
I said, when they beat the Padres in the playoffs,
they had won the World Series.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
They won the World Series. This year, I said, when
they beat the Phillies in the playoffs, they have won
the World Series. Now there's just two more teams to
get through. You don't think they'll beat Seattle. I think
they will. Yeah, the sweep them. I don't know if
they sweet Seattle. They got firepower too, But I look,
(27:05):
I agree with you, and I said at a time
the series between the Dodgers and the Phillies was the
real World Series, which I still believe, yes, because I
think I think, I don't know if they go up
too old late the Dodgers did, but if the Phillies
are playing the Brewers, the Phillies beat the Brewers, and
I think they beat whoever's over in the American League,
whether it's Toronto or Seattle, which is looking like Seattle,
(27:30):
because I think they're just the better team, and usually
this time it's hard to keep that many stars down.
It's hard to neutralize that that kind of lineup. And
with the Dodgers them being down oh too. We talked
about that game too, being a must win for Milwaukee.
It was.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It was, I mean in the format that gives it
and lends it to the Dodgers' favor now, a two
three to two format, I mean, they they have to win.
They have to sweep the Dodgers. Hear Dodger Stadium, think
about that. They gotta swep them because even if they
(28:13):
get two, we still got to go back and win
two at their own place.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
At least they haven't proven they can do. Let me
tell you something, thank this in the spirit in which
it's intended. If you meet Kevin and we found six
other guys and we went out and we played the Brewers. Okay,
we've got a better chance the nine of us that
(28:40):
we've just thrown together, and we probably won't win, but
we've got a better chance of sweeping the Brewers. And
the Brewers haven't sweeping the Dodgers. That's just the truth.
We got a better shot at that, and it wouldn't
happen but at least we got a shot. These guys
got no shot. They're not sweeping the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
(29:06):
That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
That's their only shot, that's their only shot. Yeah, and
then there's no way they're gonna do it, not with
the staff that's going for the Dodgers and the way
the Dodgers going right now, and like you said, don't
let them get behind.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Get behind, it'll be over even a lot sooner. Yeah.
Let me ask you this though, and the grand scheme
of the big picture, is it better for baseball if
the Brewers win? Let's talk about that.
Speaker 3 (29:46):

Yeah, that's right, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
It is a Wednesday hump day, Roddy p Fred Rogan
off day for the Dodgers. They get back at it tomorrow,
which we'll be on early tomorrow. Fred, Yeah, nine no
noon tomorrow, nine to noon. We're not gonna get the
Blazing five tomorrow. You'll have to get that on Friday,
nine to noon tomorrow, leading into Petro Some Money.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
It's a three to zero eight start at the stadium,
so it'll be uh, Tim Kates, Steve Sachs. Then we'll
jump on then Petro Some Money, then the pregame show. Okay,
Bill Shakon wrote something of the Times, and he just
kind of thought about it, and obviously the Dodgers are
the big bad wolf now the villains. They've got all
the money, they've got everything, and everybody hates them because
(30:59):
they're so powerful and rich. Done. He just kind of
thought about it. You know, would it be better for
baseball if a small market team like Milwaukee. You know,
markets are determined by population, so La is a major market,
big market, Milwaukee is a middle market. Would it be
better for baseball if, let's say, a middle market team,
(31:19):
a small market team. David was able to unseek Goliath
and win it, because then it would really help everybody
understand that everybody's got a shot at this. Everybody's got
a shot, and would that be a good thing. He
doesn't root against the Dodgers here, but he's just trying
to wonder if that would be a good thing. I
can respond right now, but Rodney, I'll let you.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Go first respond. No, it wouldn't be a good thing.
It would ever be a good thing to not have
the you had a choice between the Dodgers or the
Brewers in the World Series, that you don't pick the
Dodgers one percent. The fan base alone, the global ability
to track people to watch, whether it's watching because you
love the Dodgers or you want to see them get beat,
(32:05):
the Dodgers will draw. There's no way in the world
major League Baseball would look up and go, you know what,
it'd be kind of cool to have the Brewers as
in the World Series playing Seattle or Toronto. Yeah, that
would be great. You imagine a Brewers Toronto World Series.
You think anybody west of the Mississippi will watch that
(32:29):
if that were to happen. Just let me know the results, Yes,
let me know who won it. Somebody call and tell
me when it's over. But I mean, just respective of
everybody's got a shot, and just because you have everything
and all the money.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You shouldn't automatically be in a position where you're going
to win. Okay, So here's a couple of things about that.
First of all, tough beans, life isn't fair. Everybody think
life is fair? Your life? There is my life there?
Did you say, tough beans? Yeah, tough life isn't fair. Sorry,
(33:04):
it's not. But everything should be equal. It's not. Everything
is not equal. Life is unfair. Some have more, some
have less. That's the way it is. Well, it shouldn't
be that way. Okay. Well, like I say, I'd like
to be seven feet tall and plane in the NBA,
that's not gonna happen either. It is what it is,
(33:25):
and it's always been that way. So let's let's let's
just start with that number two. Earlier in the year,
when the Dodgers were going through their slump and struggling
and people were concerned not everybody, but a lot of
people were concerned about, Oh, they spent all this money,
remember that. Remember the chatter they spent all this money
and now look at them and they're not invincible. Okay, Well,
(33:48):
we didn't have this conversation then that it would be
great if a small market team could win the only
reason we're having this conversation, the only reason he wrote it,
and the only reason people will talk about it after
the series, is because the Dodgers win. That's your problem.
That's truly your only problem here. The Dodgers win. If
(34:10):
the Dodgers somehow Milwaukee can sweep them and they're knocked out,
they don't even make the World Series, You're not gonna
have this conversation. You're not gonna have the conversation. No
one's even gonna say it. They're gonna say, what a joke.
Same money can't buy everything. That's what will be said.
Not would it be great of a smaller market team? One? Tough?
(34:34):
Sports need villains. Sports need villains. You know, I like
it fair for everybody. Would you like to give everybody
a participation trophy? Two? Way to go a little owen
you made it to the playoffs. Why don't we just
give them a trophy? Make it fair? It should be fair.
This is completely unfair. One team is so good. One
(34:55):
team is figured out a way to create sustaining success.
Granted they have the resources. Andrew Friedman was able to
do this in Tampa. Everybody and they had no resources.
But they couldn't do what the Dodgers did because the
resources make the difference. But you can have sustained success anywhere.
(35:16):
If the Brewers won the first two games, would this
be a conversation. See, the little guy can win. It
only becomes a conversation when the villain continues to win.
That's what this is got, you know. It just be
more fair for everybody. Let's give everybody a chance. Really,
(35:41):
let's give everybody a chance. Come on, a little owen,
Come on, little owen. We're here for fun. The professional sports. Yeah,
it's gonna be really great next year, really great. If
the Reds beat the Dodgers in the playoffs. That's gonna
be good for Cincinnati. Who's rooting for Cincinnati? You live here, right,
(36:07):
you know? Would be great? If the Giants rebounded next
year and really had a great year. Wouldn't that be great? Oh? Yeah,
wouldn't it be great? If the Diamondbacks win the West
next year, wouldn't that be fantastic. Wouldn't everybody here be
really happy? Yes, they would make everything. If the Rockies somehow,
(36:31):
some way figure out a way to win the West
next year, won't that be great for the people in
La awesome. Wouldn't that be great for the sport? No,
it won't. No, it doesn't work that way. If a
college football team blows people out, what should you do?
(36:53):
Not let them play? I know the story and it's
a god's true story. When was little, my son Jack,
and he was playing soccer and Chatsworth Ayso soccer. Jack
was just fast. He was a pretty good athlete even
as a little kid. So he would score like eight
goals in two minutes. I mean, he's just fast. He
(37:14):
was athletic. Other kids catch up, you know how that
is Rotteney, He's just where you are in life. The
other parents were complaining that their kids, who were like
eight years old, were traumatized. First they weren't Half of
them didn't even know what they were doing. So the
league made a rule if Jack went in to score,
he had to kick the ball out of bounds. He couldn't.
He couldn't score. Kick the ball out of bounds to
(37:36):
make it fair, kick it out of bounds.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Would they allow him score like two goals and then
he had to kick it out or every time he
had to kick it out.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
No, they let him score like three or four goals.
Depend how fast. He scored, but he had kick it
out of bounds. He'd go, what am I doing? Why
am I kicking it out of bounds? Yeah? Is that
for singesting in Major League Baseball? You know what, Let's
make it fair. So Key k Hernandez has to pitch
for the Dodgers tonight. Seeing that will make it more fair.
(38:05):
Everybody will have a chance. Then why should they have
the best pitching? Why should we allow that? The argument
is flawed? And by the way, you will hear more
of this as we progress through the playoffs and next
(38:27):
something that's gonna really really chap your ass when I
tell you what somebody thinks about Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Oh oh, make am five seventy LA Sports a preset

app now available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Just
another easy way to listen to LA's best sports talk.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Oh yeah, Today's afternoon Delight is part of Me by
a Boogie with a Hoodie. The New York native dropped
this single over the weekend, and what is its first
solo release of twenty twenty five. Twenty nine year old
MC is still riding the wave of his twenty twenty
(39:22):
four album entitled Better Off Alone, which culminated with the
World Tour, which stops in North America, Europe, the United Kingdom,
Australia and New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Again.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Today's afternoon Delight is part of Me by a Boogie
with a Hoodie?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Does this upset you? Yes? Now it should. Couple of
writers from the Athletic They ranked twenty twenty five MLB
playoff teams ballpark atmosphere. Now, they had reasons for everything everything.
Ranked four teams, four remaining teams in the playoffs, the
atmosphere all right, best atmosphere down to the fourth best atmosphere.
(40:10):
Best they got Toronto best of the four teams left. Yeah,
is that what you're saying? Yeah? Yeah, So here we go.
We got four teams Toronto, Seattle, Milwaukee Dodgers. Those are
the four teams left. So they ranked the team's ball
park atmospheres. Number one on that list is who you
(40:33):
got four? Who's won? Who's got the best atmosphere? Seattle, Toronto, Toronto? Okay? Right,
Blue Jays, our nationwide fan base has been waiting almost
a decade for this moment. If the Rogers Center roof
has closed, maybe the loudest building in baseball. Why is
(40:53):
everything Rogers Center in Canada.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Everything from British Columbia on the west to Toronto and
the everything's Rogers Center, Rodgers, Rogers, Rogers.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Right, everything is Rogers. So that's the best atmosphere. That's
number one. Who's number two, Seattle? Seattle's correct, Seattle's correct. Yeah,
the Mariners know how to bring the fun in the thrills,
and their fans in the city of Grunge can certainly
bring the noise. That's number two, right. Who's number three?
(41:24):
Number three?
Speaker 2 (41:25):
The way this is going probably Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Yep, yeah, yep.
American Family Field has a more open, sprawling field in Seattle,
and Toronto is still the cavernous ballpark is an intimidating
environment for the opposing side, particularly when the roof is closed.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
So you are saying, of the four remaining teams, the
one with the worst atmosphere fourth on the list, not
number one, fourth on the list. Dodger Stadium. Dodger Stadium
telling me and I have not been to a Toronto game.
I've been to a Milwaukee game. I've not been to Seattle.
(42:06):
You're telling me the environment and the atmosphere at Dodger
Stadium is not as good as it is in Milwaukee, Seattle,
or Toronto. So you're telling me that people at Dodger
Stadium sit on their hands. You're saying that some of
(42:27):
this is true. Instead of watching the game, you're on
your phone talking about your next business deal. Okay, maybe
during the regular season, we'll give you that. We'll give
you that. Or you know, I think it's section three
right behind home plate. You're standing up and talking to
people and pointing at yourself and saying, look at me.
I'm on TV. Okay, maybe during the regular season, I
give you that. But during the playoffs, you are telling
(42:50):
me that this atmosphere at Dodger Stadium is less intimidating
or difficult to play in for the opposing team than
it is Seattle. I can't buy that. You're telling me
that teams would rather play at Dodger Stadium than Toronto
(43:14):
because Toronto's a tougher place to play, because that's what
it's is saying. You don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
No, do I think when you think Dodger Stadium, do
you think intimidating?
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah, you do, I do. I think you come in
to play the defending World champs, and there were fifty
thousand people there. I think that's pretty intimidating.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
As opposed to fifty thousand people in say Philadelphia or
like Toronto, who the fans are as loud as they
can be, especially with the roof closed right which we
they're talking about Seattle. Notoriously people have said Seattle's loud
is definitely the loudest stadium.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Not quite as intimidating when you're playing a team it
hasn't won. You're talking about the team. We're talking about
the stadium.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
We're talking about atmosphere and teams. In the playoffs, the atmosphere,
first of all, is gonna be ticked up a notch
and than it is in the regular season. They've got
a chance that would for Seattle. They have a chance
to go to the World Series for the first time
in franchise history. Those fans tonight are going to be
a rate. It is going to be so loud you're
(44:27):
not gonna hear yourself talk to the next person sitting
next to you. It will be incredibly loud, and as
great as Dodger Stadium is, it is not clearly not
the loudest ballpark in Major League Baseball. You may be
intimidated by the team, the Dodgers, the history, just like
going into Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium, you may be in
(44:49):
awe of it, but it's not the toughest place to play.
And I don't think the Dodger Stadium either is the
toughest place to play. I think there are other places
around the league that are I guess more ruckus and
intimidating than coming into Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Okay, well that's a problem. Is it?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
You identified a problem that's not a problem, is what
it is? And typically typically you know, LA fans are
not It's like it's like college you know s he
had a packed house, right loud imagine against Michigan packed
house and they were pretty good. The crowd was really
(45:33):
good in that game. Is it as loud as going
into Georgia between the hedges. No, that's a difference. And
maybe it is the laid back attitude and you know,
the expecting of the Dodgers to win and the history
and all those things. But it's not the loudest stadium.
And I equipolate loud to intimidating. So when you go
(45:57):
into play says play the Phillies very difficult place to
play because that crowd is loud, they're rambunctious, and they
will throw things at you and make it difficult for you.
If you're opposing pitcher in the bullpen to just a
left fielder. Yeah, well then that's a problem. That's a problem.
It's a problem that only the people in LA can fix.
(46:21):
It's a problem that must be addressed with the fans
of Los Angeles. Dodger Stadium needs to be the most
intimidating place to play, and that's on the fans. Tell
you one thing, The Padres aren't in this. If the
Padres were in this, I think they'd be right near
the top of that list. And we've talked about how
important it is for the fan base to be involved
(46:44):
in these games. They'll be involved tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon.
They'll be involved tomorrow afternoon. The goal should make Dodger
Stadium be the most intimidating place to play. Dodgers take
on the Brewers Game three NLCS, first pitch three oh
(47:06):
eight tomorrow. Listen to all Dodger games on AM five

Speaker 1 (47:16):
On the other side, E ed Eric Dickerson joins US
All right, let's go to work, fred Rugan Rodney Pete
on a five to seventy LA Sports, a three hour
program for us today and coming up at one, our
weekly visit with our good friend Ed Eric Dickerson. Okay, Rodney,
So the Dodgers are back in Los Angeles. They're up
two games to none. I think things are looking pretty
good right now.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Ah, that's so fast, Freddy. It's still a seven game series. Yes,
you gotta be feeling pretty good if you're a Dodger fan.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
After you're the.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Dodgers going into Milwaukee, which has been all season long
a very difficult place to play with the best team
in baseball record wise all season, the Ghost snatch two
games there at their place. It has to be first
of all, demoralizing for them, after going through the season
that they had and then the way that the Dodgers
(00:54):
have beat them. It also has to be doubly demoralizing
because all season long, we've been saying this, wait till
the Dodgers get healthy, wait till their staff get healthy.
What they did in the off season is gonna pay
off in October. You know, can the Dodgers ever get healthy?
If they ever get healthy they're the best staff in baseball. Well,
(01:15):
they're healthy and they're proven it right now that Andrew
Freeman knew what he was doing. And this staff, I
can't remember first two games being as dominant as they've been.
From a pitcher standpoint, both Snell and Yamamoto in these
first two games have been magnificent, I think, more so
(01:38):
than what people expected. But I think internally this is
what the Dodgers felt that these guys could do, the
staff could do, especially from a starting pitching standpoint, and
they are delivering. Not to mention, they still got Glass
now and Otani and Kershaw. I mean, they still got
a plethora of guys that they can throw at you.
So this has got to be you know, as Milwaukee
(02:00):
comes to La looking at this, going, man, how do
we get four wins? How do we get four wins
from this team? Well, they're not going to so they
shouldn't even know about it. Well, there's nothing even to
ponder here. It's not gonna happen. How are they going
to four wins? They're not getting Milwaukee. You think you
can do it, Fred, of course they think they can
do it. We just get got to get one. We
(02:20):
get Glass now tomorrow we can just get after him Otani.
You know, we're not expecting him to go a complete
game like Yamamodal, So we can just hold him at
bay and get to that bullpen. We'll be all right
against Otani as well. So that's the way you got
to optimistically look at this if you're Milwaukee. But man,
(02:40):
you gotta at least have gotten one in Milwaukee if
you're them, and they didn't. And so, I mean, I
know you're suggesting that don't even get on the plane
to come out here.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well it's too late. They're already here. But well, I
mean they're here, they might as well do something. They
turn around and go back, Is that what you're saying. No,
they're here, so there's no reason to go back. Get
us sweat there.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
They're here.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Fun come out and get us wet in. Is that
what you're thinking? For it?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Walk?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You know, ground yourself, take off your shoes, feel the field,
enjoy that grass at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
But the series is over. Here's the thing. Enjoy la
Maybe go to Disneyland, maybe why not? Why not enjoy it? Yeah,
after the rain, enjoy a beautiful sunshine that we have today,
and the rest of the week.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm sure they'll give you a discount. If the whole
team goes you can get a guide, they'll cut you
through the lines. It'll be great. Go enjoy yourself. Here.
A couple of things. First of all, the way the
Dodgers are built, and it's fascinating. This is playing out
the way it is because of the journey during the
regular season. But as I said before, they tow the
(03:44):
first pitch of the first game, this is all that matters.
Just get to the tournament and see what happens. Everybody's
healthy at the right time. It's amazing. Give any injuries
they went through this year, this is absolutely amazing. This
staff is old school. The way they doing it now
is very old school. If you're old enough, you'll remember
(04:05):
back in the days where you had four stud starters
and those guys went and they went as long as
they could every game. You just had four studs. You
really didn't even know the closer's name or who was
in the bullpen because you expected your guy to go.
That's how baseball was played many many, many, many many
(04:25):
years ago, and this is a throwback to that. The
Dodgers have the most dominating pitching staff in baseball. Now
they hoped they would. They constructed the team in that manner.
They needed everybody to be healthy, the most dominant pitching staff,
(04:47):
and you're in and year out, whether they win or
they lose in the playoffs. What do we always say,
good pitching. You gotta have good pitching. Good pitching will win.
Now it comes down to how much good pitching do
you have last year because of the injury situation. And
I don't think anybody really gives the Dodgers enough credit
(05:09):
for what happened last year, Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman, Brandon Gomes.
For them to win the World Series with the pitching
staff they had was mind boggling. It was one of
the great achievements in baseball history. Just think about that,
and now compare that to this when you do have
great starting pitching, the best pitching not in the playoffs
(05:33):
in baseball. Anybody on the Dodger staff one through four,
and now we have Emmit Sheen. So Emmit Sheen would
not be the ace of anyone's staff, but he would
be the number two. Everybody else that is pitching for
the Dodgers would be the ace of any staff in
(05:54):
Major League Baseball. You have four of them. Yeah, you
have four. You just have to appreciate how incredibly unusual
that is. So look at it like this. If the
Dodgers were the Brewers in this scenario and they were
(06:15):
facing the Dodger pitchers, we would be sitting here and saying,
there is no way we can beat these guys at
this pitching. They've got the best pitching they do. That's
where we're at a throwback. Today's gone by, I mean
years and years ago. You just got the best pitching
(06:36):
and just let them go. You know, I was thinking, Rodney,
before the playoffs started, you were saying, I'd let these
guys go. I'll let them go. I wouldn't pull them,
let them go. And I was thinking about this last
night after Yamamoto goes a distance, and I was thinking,
during the regular season, it is so grueling and there
(06:57):
are so many games that what you try to do
is basically fight a war of attrition and get to
the end as healthy as you can, because that's really
what the regular season is. I mean, for some teams
it's everything because they can't sniff the postseason. But for
the Dodgers, it's just trying to be healthy at the
right time. It's trying to get to where you need
(07:18):
to be at the right time. So yeah, there are
games where Dave Roberts will go out and yank a gun,
and you're going, why the hell's he doing that? Why
is he going out and getting him now? Why can't
he go over one hundred pitches? I mean, we're in
Pittsburgh in August, but he could make it. And I
started to think because of what you said, you know,
(07:39):
why maybe he didn't let him go one hundred and
twenty pitches in August and Pittsburgh Because now's the time.
You were right before we started this, you were right.
Now's the time. Now there's no limit. You go till
you're done. We'll go with the eye test. If you
got it and you're doing what you're supposed to do
(08:01):
and you're one of the aces, the only team with
pitching like this, we're gonna let you go finish it.
He we got out of the other night with Blake
Snell coming out of the game. That will not happen again,
I assure you. I guarantee you that won't happen again.
If a guy's got a chance. But finish it. He's
gonna finish it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, you don't think they pull him, you know, for instance,
tomorrow Glass now goes Now he he is of I
think of of the four starters, including I'm including Otani
on this now, of the four starters, I think he
is the one that's most likely not to get a
complete game. Would you agree with that? No? No, I
(08:44):
will not agree with that. Most likely. I'm not saying
he won't. No, No, most likely, And because you said
most likely, I will say no. And here's why Otani
is the one most likely not to get a complete game.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's the guy you'll go get.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
If Otani's dealing like Yamamoto is dealing last night, you
think he go get him in the eighth.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You don't let him. You don't let him come out
in the eighth or the night. No, no, But we
have to assume he's dealing like Yamamoto was. I don't
think that's the case. I think he'll throw too many pitches. Now,
he'll probably go out and you know, retire twenty seven
guys in a row. But I think the guy least
likely to go the disc And let me rephrase, rephrase.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
The I guess the stamina of the ability to go
a complete game, because if you let Otanni go, he'll go.
If you ask him, he'll go. Whereas we've seen class
Now kind of in that seventh and he kind of
depending on obviously depends on everything, depends on pitch count,
kind of run out of gas a little bit. So
(09:55):
I'm thinking that if it's similar with Otani as you're Moto,
they also let Otani go.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Yes, yes, And when you phrase it like that, it's
different because you're saying Otani. Otani's not coming out of
the game period. It doesn't matter. Otani will pitch fifty
innings in a row if they want him to. That's
just how he's wired. He's not coming out. So yeah,
he'll finish, all right, he'd finish on one leg. I mean,
(10:25):
he doesn't care. He's going to finish if they let
him finish now. So then the question becomes, do we
think class now has the oomph to finish? And I'm
not sure. Yeah, you make a valid point seventh Thinny,
he might get a little shaky. You might get a
(10:46):
little shaky, but if he with him, it is pitch count.
It's pitch count. That's what it is. With him. If
he is efficient, Yes, he can he can do it.
He can go all the way. If he has a
thirty pitch inning, No he can't. But what I saw
on the last outing, what you saw in the last outing, Yeah,
(11:11):
I think he can go.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He's dominant, and the pitchcount was low. And here's the
thing on the pitchcount, I don't think it mattered. Do
you think it mattered last night the way Yamamoto was going.
Do you think pitchcount even mattered?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
No, and it can't. Now, you're right, Yeah, you're right.
You were right before we started, and I think Dave
Roberts learned with the Blake Snowcam. You're right. Yeah, this
is why we have these guys. No, somebody cannot be
throwing one hundred and seventy five pitches.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Let's just be honest. Yeah, there comes a point where, yeah,
it becomes ridiculous. Yes, but if you're hovering, if you're
between that hundred, one hundred and twenty twenty five pitches,
you go, you go, You have to go, you go.
And what you seen and what you've been able to
witness all season long is if your pitcher is getting
(12:06):
you to the ninth inning and he's obviously he's doing
well to get you there. No one coming out of
the pen this year is going to be better than
Blake Snell or Yamamoto or I would even say todder
Glass now and even Otani. If they have gotten you
to the eighth inning and they have shut it down
(12:28):
and been lights out and they're at one hundred and
five pitches, Ain't nobody coming out of that pen, including
Trying and including Sasaki, that is going to be better
than them and what they've done in that particular game.
So at the very least, I'm letting them start that
ninth and get get one hitter, and let me see
where you are.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
One hundred percent. One hundred percent. We can't even debate that. Now,
when you have this pitching staff, you let them go
as long as they can go. You've positioned it this way.
Everybody's healthy at the exact right time. So yeah, let
them go. I thought last night, first pitch, boom, home run.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What did you think, Oh, here comes that Milwaukee team
that everybody saw season long, or would you think, oh
that's just an anomaly, hot hitter got one okay, Or
did you think, oh god, here they come.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You know what I thought, envision this. I put my
head in my hands and looked down. That's what I thought.
I just went, oh no, oh no, no, this is
not good. And then so then I composed myself because
I thought, because if that was the change, we could
(13:52):
have been seeing the performance he had in Philadelphia too,
Rodney Yamamoto, Okay, and that was a bit of an anomaly,
doesn't it can't happen again. So he hits the home run,
and I'm like, oh god, and I'll bet you anybody
watching or listening on the radio station of the app
went oh my god, no, this is all we need.
(14:16):
So now I'm like watching him like a hawk. Well,
by the way, it's gonna mean absolutely nothing me watching
him a certain way. But I've decided I must make
a decision. Like everything that was watching, yeah, or listening
to the game, Now it's up to us. We will
decide what happens next. He got out of the first inning,
I felt a little better. I said, all right, that's fine,
(14:37):
it's one run. Well we get that back, all right,
Now we're good. We're good. But now you're sitting there
and you're anticipating, oh, what could happen next? You know,
could be could this be the inningwhere it goes south?
But as he started moving through, no, no, no, no,
we're fine. Now we're good. He's good. Let's just get
enough runs here because he's gonna he's gonna do the job.
(14:59):
And I guess if you have to, you have one up,
give it up right, then that's it. It becomes a
faint memory. Did that even happen? What happened? Nothing to
see here because you wanted.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
To sniff of run after that. They didn't even come
close to scoring to run after that. And it was
a unbelievable performance because, yeah, after his last performance against
the Phillies where he got knocked around a little bit,
you could think, oh, first pitch, first home run, and
(15:33):
first inning, oh man, got it, Well, here we go.
And he settled in and became lights out and was
dealing for eight more innings after that. It was it
was so impressive that bounce back, and you're right, if
it's going to happen, let it happen early. And let's
let's let's face it, cheerios win hot hottest hitters in
(15:54):
baseball over the last month, so you know there again.
I always say that they got players, they're gonna They're
gonna at some point get theirs, but you can't allow
them to get it in bunches. And they've been able
to neutralize that lineup. And I'm sure Milwaukee and their
fans are shells, Jock going. We've been scoring runs all
(16:15):
season long.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We can't we can't get anything going. And we're at
our home ballpark, man, and now we got to go
there for three. That's a that's a that's a daunting task.
And man, tonight of glass nails on. And the Dodgers
right now they're feeling it, and they're starting to feel
it more and more offensively as well. And they're doing
(16:39):
this without Otani doing really anything offensively.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Let me say this, I just want to point one
thing out, one more pitching thing. Then I want to
address what you said last pitching thing. You know, last
night they beat Freddy Peralta. So the guy, Yes, they
beat Freddy Paralta. That would be like they beat Blake Snell.
Yeah right, yeah, think about that game one Blake Snell
(17:07):
goes out and gets annihilated. How are the Dodgers gonna
feel or you lose the first game, but now we're
gonna put snell in im. He's gonna get this this
square up, We're gonna get right back in it and
it gets bombed. How do you feel, not only did
you lose what you lost with your best guy, they
made your best guy look average. Keep that in mind.
(17:31):
How many pitchers have they used? Thirty five already? The
first game was a bullpen game. Last night they went
back to the bullpen again. Yeah, I mean they they're
running through those guys like water. Who's is Cantina going
in the next one? I think he is. If he goes,
(17:52):
Oh God, that's gonna be. That's gonna be. Merry Christmas.
And here's why something you said. If you look at
the top three hitters in the Dodger lineup so far, okay,
in the postseason, they're hitting two thirty five. By the way,
(18:13):
let's everybody take them inute. Andy pie Haz, Andy pie
has got a hit last night. Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Andy Pie Haz is on the board. Good and get
the party. Andy piez right, welcome to party. And here's
a good thing. This party's continuing. So you come on in,
you join us.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
So so far, top three hitters in the postseason they're
hitting two thirty five. That's not going to get it done.
And we know what Tani struggling, That is not going
to get it done. Let's look at hitters six through nine,
three h two, fourteen runs batted in thirty five hits
(18:55):
now during the regular season. If we're to be honest,
what did we say, man at bottom third of the
orders killing us. Yeah, they can't hit their head size,
they can't get on base. But this is why they're
built the way they are. One group helps the other.
(19:15):
Top of the order is struggling. They're hitting two thirty
five two, and change those guys six to nine hitting
three to zero two. There's another problem for the Brewers
or whoever the Dodgers play.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They can't relax. You can't ever relax if you're opposing
pitch or team against this lineup. And yeah, the big
three jump out at you as being the Big three
and Otani, Mooki and Freddy, But man, you go down
that lineup and you gotta face Max Munci who had
a home run last night, like oh god, oh yeah,
(19:50):
oh Kik you know barely hit a two hundred all season.
Oh double down the line. I mean, it's just relentless
lineup that they have that you think you're okay when
you get Otani out, you know, you see the fans
they go crazy, We got him, we got Otani. All
of a sudden, Mookie gets on. Oh oh we got Freddy.
(20:13):
We struck out Freddy. Will Smith is a double. You know,
Max Munsey comes up and hits a home run or
hits a double or gets a single. Tommy Edmund gets
it just relently. You mentioned Andy Piez double down the
line yesterday, got him going, and it just changes, it
(20:34):
changes everything. I mean, like you said, they had to
use eurebe their best guy out of the pen yesterday
for multiple innings, and they got caught warming him up.
And that's when Pia is that that double that took
it from a two to one game to a three
to one game. All of a sudden, you're down two
(20:54):
and you're bringing in basically your best bullpen guy that
normally you bring in the close games or when you're ahead,
and now you're playing from behind. It's just it's just
it's thrown off all the metrics and all the things
that they think about from what they've been doing all
season long. Because the lineup for the Dodgers is so relentless,
and the starting pitching for the Dodgers has been dominant.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's just call it the way it is. Milwaukee doesn't
know what to do. Let's just be honest. Why do
we have to lie? They are so completely baffled and overwhelmed.
They don't know what to do. What they did is
not working, and it's not working because the Dodger pitching
is so good. That's why it's not working. Yeah, but
(21:39):
we're gonna score a lot of runs against the right now,
the four best pitchers in baseball. Look at it like that.
The Dodgers have the four best pitchers in baseball on
the same team, in the same rotation, in the same series.
They don't know what to do. I wouldn't know what
(22:00):
to do either. Yeah. You see their manager Pat Murphy.
Everybody likes that, right, Yeah, he loves him. What are
you gonna do? If you look at his face, yeah,
he's like, what's saying exactly what you just said?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
In his mind, he's saying the same thing he said.
Obviously he didn't say it outwardly, but he in his
mind said, what do you want us to do? Well,
what do you wantus to do. They got the four
best pitchers in baseball. They got a lineup that has
gotten hot at the right time. If I criticize the
Dodgers for not having any offense, can't swing the back,
and all of a sudden, now they're all swinging the back.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
What do you want us to do? We throw our
best guys out him and.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
We can't get anything going, and yet they're hitting the
ball all over the lot?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
What do you want us to do? That's exactly what's
going on here when you watch them, if you watch
on TV, hopefully you'll go to a game at the stadium,
and if you listen on the radio, Steven Nelson and
Rick Mondy do a terrific job of describing guy's emotions.
But if you're watching on TV, watch their faces, watch
their body language. Remember when the Dodgers went through that
(23:08):
horrific slump this year, Rodney, Remember that, Yeah, they couldn't hit,
and we sat here every day and we'd say, look
at their body language. Just look at them. They don't
look like they're going to win. Shoulders slumped, low energy,
seemingly disinterested, but never so because they couldn't figure it out,
(23:34):
and one thing would lead to another, and they'd fall
deeper into the abyss until they finally came out of it. Okay,
that's Milwaukee right now. Watch them, and I guarantee you
tomorrow they'll come out on fire at three eight great
start time. They'll come out tomorrow, and they will come
out on fire. They will come out fired up, energized.
(23:56):
They will come out as if this is the beginning
of a new series. Forget the first two games. You
watch what happens. If they get behind, just watch them.
If they get behind tomorrow, watch them, and even worse,
if it's close tomorrow. But then in the late innings,
the Dodgers do what they do and beat them. You
(24:18):
watch those guys. You watch them, and if they get
smoked tomorrow, they'll get swept.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah they yeah. I mean, I
don't even think it doesn't matter how the game goes,
if they get smoked or they lose a close game
in the end, it is it is when this win
or get swept, because they're not winning down three to zero.
(24:49):
They're not winning down three. Oh and think about them,
you know, as you kind of plan forward, and I
know they gotta you know, you tell yourself one game
at a time. But in order for them to win
this series, they gotta go back and beat Blake, Snell
and Yamamoto. Think about that, like, Okay, we can come back,
(25:09):
but to come back, we gotta run through last not
at night, but Otani's on the hill, and then we
gotta run through Blake, Snell and Yamamoto again, and we
gotta win every one of those games.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
We gotta play basically eer free, clean baseball. We can't
make one mistake. Yeah, one mistake can do us. So
we have to be perfect, and we can because we're
really good. And here's what we have to beat Glassnew Otani, Snell,
and Yamamoto. Now, if we can just get by those guys,
we're back. Really that's gonna happen. And look, the Brewers
(25:49):
have had a great year and we're not trying to
be cruel, but let's just be honest about this thing.
No one's gonna beat the Dodgers when the Dodgers are
firing on all cylinders. I said it, It's true, no one,
you will not beat them if they are firing on
all cylinders. This is the plan they had going into
(26:14):
the season. This is why the roster was constructed the
way it is, you can't beat them. If they beat Milwaukee,
and let's assume that that probably will happen, they'll probably
sweep Seattle too, I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh, Freddie really, Oh you're saying that. Yeah. The last year,
I said, when they beat the Padres in the playoffs,
they had won the World Series.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
They won the World Series. This year, I said, when
they beat the Phillies in the playoffs, they have won
the World Series. Now there's just two more teams to
get through. You don't think they'll beat Seattle. I think
they will. Yeah, the sweep them. I don't know if
they sweet Seattle. They got firepower too, But I look,
(27:05):
I agree with you, and I said at a time
the series between the Dodgers and the Phillies was the
real World Series, which I still believe, yes, because I
think I think, I don't know if they go up
too old late the Dodgers did, but if the Phillies
are playing the Brewers, the Phillies beat the Brewers, and
I think they beat whoever's over in the American League,
whether it's Toronto or Seattle, which is looking like Seattle,
(27:30):
because I think they're just the better team, and usually
this time it's hard to keep that many stars down.
It's hard to neutralize that that kind of lineup. And
with the Dodgers them being down oh too. We talked
about that game too, being a must win for Milwaukee.
It was.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It was, I mean in the format that gives it
and lends it to the Dodgers' favor now, a two
three to two format, I mean, they they have to win.
They have to sweep the Dodgers. Hear Dodger Stadium, think
about that. They gotta swep them because even if they
(28:13):
get two, we still got to go back and win
two at their own place.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
At least they haven't proven they can do. Let me
tell you something, thank this in the spirit in which
it's intended. If you meet Kevin and we found six
other guys and we went out and we played the Brewers. Okay,
we've got a better chance the nine of us that
(28:40):
we've just thrown together, and we probably won't win, but
we've got a better chance of sweeping the Brewers. And
the Brewers haven't sweeping the Dodgers. That's just the truth.
We got a better shot at that, and it wouldn't
happen but at least we got a shot. These guys
got no shot. They're not sweeping the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
(29:06):
That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
That's their only shot, that's their only shot. Yeah, and
then there's no way they're gonna do it, not with
the staff that's going for the Dodgers and the way
the Dodgers going right now, and like you said, don't
let them get behind.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Get behind, it'll be over even a lot sooner. Yeah.
Let me ask you this though, and the grand scheme
of the big picture, is it better for baseball if
the Brewers win? Let's talk about that.
Speaker 3 (29:46):

Speaker 2 (30:16):
It is a Wednesday hump day, Roddy p Fred Rogan

which we'll be on early tomorrow. Fred, Yeah, nine no
noon tomorrow, nine to noon. We're not gonna get the
Blazing five tomorrow. You'll have to get that on Friday,
nine to noon tomorrow, leading into Petro Some Money.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
It's a three to zero eight start at the stadium,
so it'll be uh, Tim Kates, Steve Sachs. Then we'll
jump on then Petro Some Money, then the pregame show. Okay,
Bill Shakon wrote something of the Times, and he just
kind of thought about it, and obviously the Dodgers are
the big bad wolf now the villains. They've got all
the money, they've got everything, and everybody hates them because
(30:59):
they're so powerful and rich. Done. He just kind of
thought about it. You know, would it be better for
baseball if a small market team like Milwaukee. You know,
markets are determined by population, so La is a major market,
big market, Milwaukee is a middle market. Would it be
better for baseball if, let's say, a middle market team,
(31:19):
a small market team. David was able to unseek Goliath
and win it, because then it would really help everybody
understand that everybody's got a shot at this. Everybody's got
a shot, and would that be a good thing. He
doesn't root against the Dodgers here, but he's just trying
to wonder if that would be a good thing. I
can respond right now, but Rodney, I'll let you.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Go first respond. No, it wouldn't be a good thing.
It would ever be a good thing to not have
the you had a choice between the Dodgers or the
Brewers in the World Series, that you don't pick the
Dodgers one percent. The fan base alone, the global ability
to track people to watch, whether it's watching because you
love the Dodgers or you want to see them get beat,
(32:05):
the Dodgers will draw. There's no way in the world
major League Baseball would look up and go, you know what,
it'd be kind of cool to have the Brewers as
in the World Series playing Seattle or Toronto. Yeah, that
would be great. You imagine a Brewers Toronto World Series.
You think anybody west of the Mississippi will watch that
(32:29):
if that were to happen. Just let me know the results, Yes,
let me know who won it. Somebody call and tell
me when it's over. But I mean, just respective of
everybody's got a shot, and just because you have everything
and all the money.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You shouldn't automatically be in a position where you're going
to win. Okay, So here's a couple of things about that.
First of all, tough beans, life isn't fair. Everybody think
life is fair? Your life? There is my life there?
Did you say, tough beans? Yeah, tough life isn't fair. Sorry,
(33:04):
it's not. But everything should be equal. It's not. Everything
is not equal. Life is unfair. Some have more, some
have less. That's the way it is. Well, it shouldn't
be that way. Okay. Well, like I say, I'd like
to be seven feet tall and plane in the NBA,
that's not gonna happen either. It is what it is,
(33:25):
and it's always been that way. So let's let's let's
just start with that number two. Earlier in the year,
when the Dodgers were going through their slump and struggling
and people were concerned not everybody, but a lot of
people were concerned about, Oh, they spent all this money,
remember that. Remember the chatter they spent all this money
and now look at them and they're not invincible. Okay, Well,
(33:48):
we didn't have this conversation then that it would be
great if a small market team could win the only
reason we're having this conversation, the only reason he wrote it,
and the only reason people will talk about it after
the series, is because the Dodgers win. That's your problem.
That's truly your only problem here. The Dodgers win. If
(34:10):
the Dodgers somehow Milwaukee can sweep them and they're knocked out,
they don't even make the World Series, You're not gonna
have this conversation. You're not gonna have the conversation. No
one's even gonna say it. They're gonna say, what a joke.
Same money can't buy everything. That's what will be said.
Not would it be great of a smaller market team? One? Tough?
(34:34):
Sports need villains. Sports need villains. You know, I like
it fair for everybody. Would you like to give everybody
a participation trophy? Two? Way to go a little owen
you made it to the playoffs. Why don't we just
give them a trophy? Make it fair? It should be fair.
This is completely unfair. One team is so good. One
(34:55):
team is figured out a way to create sustaining success.
Granted they have the resources. Andrew Friedman was able to
do this in Tampa. Everybody and they had no resources.
But they couldn't do what the Dodgers did because the
resources make the difference. But you can have sustained success anywhere.
(35:16):
If the Brewers won the first two games, would this
be a conversation. See, the little guy can win. It
only becomes a conversation when the villain continues to win.
That's what this is got, you know. It just be
more fair for everybody. Let's give everybody a chance. Really,
(35:41):
let's give everybody a chance. Come on, a little owen,
Come on, little owen. We're here for fun. The professional sports. Yeah,
it's gonna be really great next year, really great. If
the Reds beat the Dodgers in the playoffs. That's gonna
be good for Cincinnati. Who's rooting for Cincinnati? You live here, right,
(36:07):
you know? Would be great? If the Giants rebounded next
year and really had a great year. Wouldn't that be great? Oh? Yeah,
wouldn't it be great? If the Diamondbacks win the West
next year, wouldn't that be fantastic. Wouldn't everybody here be
really happy? Yes, they would make everything. If the Rockies somehow,
(36:31):
some way figure out a way to win the West
next year, won't that be great for the people in
La awesome. Wouldn't that be great for the sport? No,
it won't. No, it doesn't work that way. If a
college football team blows people out, what should you do?
(36:53):
Not let them play? I know the story and it's
a god's true story. When was little, my son Jack,
and he was playing soccer and Chatsworth Ayso soccer. Jack
was just fast. He was a pretty good athlete even
as a little kid. So he would score like eight
goals in two minutes. I mean, he's just fast. He
(37:14):
was athletic. Other kids catch up, you know how that
is Rotteney, He's just where you are in life. The
other parents were complaining that their kids, who were like
eight years old, were traumatized. First they weren't Half of
them didn't even know what they were doing. So the
league made a rule if Jack went in to score,
he had to kick the ball out of bounds. He couldn't.
He couldn't score. Kick the ball out of bounds to
(37:36):
make it fair, kick it out of bounds.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Would they allow him score like two goals and then
he had to kick it out or every time he
had to kick it out.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
No, they let him score like three or four goals.
Depend how fast. He scored, but he had kick it
out of bounds. He'd go, what am I doing? Why
am I kicking it out of bounds? Yeah? Is that
for singesting in Major League Baseball? You know what, Let's
make it fair. So Key k Hernandez has to pitch
for the Dodgers tonight. Seeing that will make it more fair.
(38:05):
Everybody will have a chance. Then why should they have
the best pitching? Why should we allow that? The argument
is flawed? And by the way, you will hear more
of this as we progress through the playoffs and next
(38:27):
something that's gonna really really chap your ass when I
tell you what somebody thinks about Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Oh oh, make am five seventy LA Sports a preset

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Oh yeah, Today's afternoon Delight is part of Me by
a Boogie with a Hoodie. The New York native dropped
this single over the weekend, and what is its first
solo release of twenty twenty five. Twenty nine year old
MC is still riding the wave of his twenty twenty
(39:22):
four album entitled Better Off Alone, which culminated with the
World Tour, which stops in North America, Europe, the United Kingdom,
Australia and New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
Again.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Today's afternoon Delight is part of Me by a Boogie
with a Hoodie?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Does this upset you? Yes? Now it should. Couple of
writers from the Athletic They ranked twenty twenty five MLB
playoff teams ballpark atmosphere. Now, they had reasons for everything everything.
Ranked four teams, four remaining teams in the playoffs, the
atmosphere all right, best atmosphere down to the fourth best atmosphere.
(40:10):
Best they got Toronto best of the four teams left. Yeah,
is that what you're saying? Yeah? Yeah, So here we go.
We got four teams Toronto, Seattle, Milwaukee Dodgers. Those are
the four teams left. So they ranked the team's ball
park atmospheres. Number one on that list is who you
(40:33):
got four? Who's won? Who's got the best atmosphere? Seattle, Toronto, Toronto? Okay? Right,
Blue Jays, our nationwide fan base has been waiting almost
a decade for this moment. If the Rogers Center roof
has closed, maybe the loudest building in baseball. Why is
(40:53):
everything Rogers Center in Canada.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Everything from British Columbia on the west to Toronto and
the everything's Rogers Center, Rodgers, Rogers, Rogers.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Right, everything is Rogers. So that's the best atmosphere. That's
number one. Who's number two, Seattle? Seattle's correct, Seattle's correct. Yeah,
the Mariners know how to bring the fun in the thrills,
and their fans in the city of Grunge can certainly
bring the noise. That's number two, right. Who's number three?
(41:24):
Number three?
Speaker 2 (41:25):
The way this is going probably Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Yep, yeah, yep.
American Family Field has a more open, sprawling field in Seattle,
and Toronto is still the cavernous ballpark is an intimidating
environment for the opposing side, particularly when the roof is closed.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
So you are saying, of the four remaining teams, the
one with the worst atmosphere fourth on the list, not
number one, fourth on the list. Dodger Stadium. Dodger Stadium
telling me and I have not been to a Toronto game.
I've been to a Milwaukee game. I've not been to Seattle.
(42:06):
You're telling me the environment and the atmosphere at Dodger
Stadium is not as good as it is in Milwaukee, Seattle,
or Toronto. So you're telling me that people at Dodger
Stadium sit on their hands. You're saying that some of
(42:27):
this is true. Instead of watching the game, you're on
your phone talking about your next business deal. Okay, maybe
during the regular season, we'll give you that. We'll give
you that. Or you know, I think it's section three
right behind home plate. You're standing up and talking to
people and pointing at yourself and saying, look at me.
I'm on TV. Okay, maybe during the regular season, I
give you that. But during the playoffs, you are telling
(42:50):
me that this atmosphere at Dodger Stadium is less intimidating
or difficult to play in for the opposing team than
it is Seattle. I can't buy that. You're telling me
that teams would rather play at Dodger Stadium than Toronto
(43:14):
because Toronto's a tougher place to play, because that's what
it's is saying. You don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
No, do I think when you think Dodger Stadium, do
you think intimidating?
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah, you do, I do. I think you come in
to play the defending World champs, and there were fifty
thousand people there. I think that's pretty intimidating.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
As opposed to fifty thousand people in say Philadelphia or
like Toronto, who the fans are as loud as they
can be, especially with the roof closed right which we
they're talking about Seattle. Notoriously people have said Seattle's loud
is definitely the loudest stadium.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
Not quite as intimidating when you're playing a team it
hasn't won. You're talking about the team. We're talking about
the stadium.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
We're talking about atmosphere and teams. In the playoffs, the atmosphere,
first of all, is gonna be ticked up a notch
and than it is in the regular season. They've got
a chance that would for Seattle. They have a chance
to go to the World Series for the first time
in franchise history. Those fans tonight are going to be
a rate. It is going to be so loud you're
(44:27):
not gonna hear yourself talk to the next person sitting
next to you. It will be incredibly loud, and as
great as Dodger Stadium is, it is not clearly not
the loudest ballpark in Major League Baseball. You may be
intimidated by the team, the Dodgers, the history, just like
going into Yankee Stadium. Yankee Stadium, you may be in
(44:49):
awe of it, but it's not the toughest place to play.
And I don't think the Dodger Stadium either is the
toughest place to play. I think there are other places
around the league that are I guess more ruckus and
intimidating than coming into Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1 (45:10):
Okay, well that's a problem. Is it?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
You identified a problem that's not a problem, is what
it is? And typically typically you know, LA fans are
not It's like it's like college you know s he
had a packed house, right loud imagine against Michigan packed
house and they were pretty good. The crowd was really
(45:33):
good in that game. Is it as loud as going
into Georgia between the hedges. No, that's a difference. And
maybe it is the laid back attitude and you know,
the expecting of the Dodgers to win and the history
and all those things. But it's not the loudest stadium.
And I equipolate loud to intimidating. So when you go
(45:57):
into play says play the Phillies very difficult place to
play because that crowd is loud, they're rambunctious, and they
will throw things at you and make it difficult for you.
If you're opposing pitcher in the bullpen to just a
left fielder. Yeah, well then that's a problem. That's a problem.
It's a problem that only the people in LA can fix.
(46:21):
It's a problem that must be addressed with the fans
of Los Angeles. Dodger Stadium needs to be the most
intimidating place to play, and that's on the fans. Tell
you one thing, The Padres aren't in this. If the
Padres were in this, I think they'd be right near
the top of that list. And we've talked about how
important it is for the fan base to be involved
(46:44):
in these games. They'll be involved tomorrow night or tomorrow afternoon.
They'll be involved tomorrow afternoon. The goal should make Dodger
Stadium be the most intimidating place to play. Dodgers take
on the Brewers Game three NLCS, first pitch three oh
(47:06):
eight tomorrow. Listen to all Dodger games on AM five
