Speaker 1 (00:02):
I come on, let's do this live from Dodger Stadium.
Fred Rogan Rodney peaked Game three of the World Series.
You ready, oh, Freddy, roll the balls out there, Let's go. Yes,
I'm ready? Are you kidding me? Game three World Series,
Dodger Stadium, Blue Heaven, Freddy boy. There's a lot of
media out here already, you cameras, a lot of cameras,
(00:25):
a lot of cameras. We got a lot to set
up here. But before we even get started today, I
want to tell you about something very important that we'll
do tomorrow that will apply to Wednesday. Now, I'm gonna
try to get this right tomorrow every one of our shows,
so it'll be uh, Kate's and Sacks in the morning, Rodney,
myself and then Petro some money. On every show tomorrow,
(00:48):
we're going to give a code word. We will identify
it as the code word. Write the code word down,
because then on Wednesday morning, Steven, we'll ask for the
code words plural, the code words from every show. If
you are the first caller with the code words from
(01:09):
every show, you will be at Wednesday's game. Kevin, Is
that correct?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes, you're like ninety eight percent there of course, no,
very high, but also very important. So it's not a
code word per show, it is per hour. So Tim
and Steve will give one at the six o'clock, seven
o'clock and eight o'clock hour tomorrow morning. We will give
one tomorrow afternoon, the noon hour at one o'clock hour,
PMS two of the.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Two o'clock hour, every o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And then you have to get the code word for
every hour from the previous day. Tim and Steve are
going to ask for those code words in the eight
am hour on Wednesday morning.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So it's like, what five code words?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Six?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
No, there's more seeven seven words? Yeah, seven code words.
So start listening to well you listen anyway, why are
we even reminding you? Listen tomorrow starting at six and
write down all the cold words. Yep, okay. As for
the business at hand here, Rodney, is we get ready
for Game three. Let's start with what happened this morning
at about five am, because apparently that's a big story
(02:12):
at five am when the local news stations show up
and do that broadcast from Dodger Stadium. Now, even when
I did local news, I thought that was one of
the stupidest things. Wait, wait wait, you never did that. No,
I got here at five am. Oh my god, no, no, no,
they asked me, you want to go at five am?
No I don't. Well why don't you want to go
at five am? Because the only thing I can report
(02:34):
at five am as far as the atmosphere at the stadium,
it's dark. That's what's going on. There's not a soul
here and it's dark. So we began, as we normally
do with events like this, All of the local news
stations were out here doing their live morning shows with
not a single person here. They want to be first.
(02:57):
We're the first ones at died You Stadium. That's Perth
One's ear. Yeah, well there's that Clark Griswold that one right,
there's that, and there's this. You know, if it's happening,
we need to be there because that's who we are.
But the problem is there's nothing happening at five am.
So we've had that. Now this go round, Unlike the
(03:19):
Division series, in the league Championship series, far more media
on the field at this point. Yes, yes, also I
can tell you, and I've not seen this before. It
was about ten forty five when Todd light the PA
announcer started rehearsing the lineups so they can get the
timing down. I've never seen that before.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he's done that before. I
don't think maybe that not that early, but he's done
it before. I've heard him do it before.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, but that's the afternoon, not ten forty five in
the more true, that's true, it was early. He's getting ready. Yeah,
I mean things have changed a little bit. There's more
energy here just in the surrounding part of the field
at this point. The batting cages up. Also, we can
tell you who's singing the national anthem. Yes, we can
for the United States because we're playing Canada, so there
(04:09):
will be two of them. Of course, for the US
it'll be Brad Paisley, huge Dodger fan. He was out here,
did it about four times and they rehearsed and got ready. Yeah.
And then for Canada, Jp Sacks, yes, who apparently is
a Canadian songwriter and perform.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Multi platinum I guess songwriter, performer or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, I've not heard of him. I had neither. And
after he performs tonight, followed by Brad Paisley, no one
will remember him because cold frid but no, because we
stood out here and listened to it, and I thought
he was you know, he did a nice job. He
did a nice job. Oh Canada, it's kind of a hey,
(04:49):
he just did a nice job. Yeah yeah, And Brad
Paisley got out here and it was like, oh, whoa,
this is an entirely different div now. Oh am I wrong? No,
it was I don't even I can't. I don't want
to dog him out like that, but it was it
(05:11):
was like it was a minor league performance. And then
the big boys came out. Sound so yeah, Brad comes out,
he's got his electric guitar, he's singing loud, and of
course it's the our national anthem, so it hits home
a little bit harder. But yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Know, it was like, Okay, that's nice, Okaynada, he did
a nice job.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Brad comes on. It's just like he said, nobody's gonna
remember KP. Sacks, but he did. Kevin, don't make that face, Yeah,
don't make that face. Are we wrong, Kevin P. Sacks?
Are we wrong? No offense, JP Sacks Just Brad was
kind of impressive.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Maybe true, doesn't mean you have to say it well,
man called JP Sacks.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You might have a legion of fans out there afraid him.
I enjoy him. Yeah, I'm sure he does. But do
you want me to say what rod up agains? Do
you want me to say what Rodney actually said? And
do you want me to tell you what he actually said?
So we heard JP Sacks and we heard Brad Paisley,
and I said, boy, there's the difference. And Rodney goes
to you're JP Sacks. You go, what do I have
(06:18):
to do? What do I have to do? It was
just night and day, But that looks be great tonight.
And I'm sure they'll have a flyover and that's always
the best part, the flyover, And that'll come after Brad
Paisley sings a national anthem. Let's get to it, let's
go backwards and get you caught up. Game one, So
(06:41):
the Dodgers get hammered in Toronto and Blake Snell starts
the game. And I knew in the first inning, A
he didn't have it, and B they were going to
be in big trouble. And there's only one reason why
he threw too many pitches. You cannot get to the bullpen,
and he threw too many pitches and I thought this
(07:04):
is going to be a long night. Yeah, okay, But
if you said that in game one, what did you
say in game two? Because Yamamoto threw twenty three pitches too.
I mean, we'll get to that. But you didn't feel
Blake could come out of that. Here's why, because in
game one, when the second inning started, Blake still seemed
(07:24):
a little shaky to me. In game two, when the
second inning started, yamamotos seemed now that he had found
his rhythm, and I thought there was a difference. I
thought Snell didn't find that rhythm in the second inning. Well,
Yamamoto all of a sudden did and that was a
difference in my mind.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, I thought they were both in trouble. I felt
the same way you did with Snell. It just felt
like he didn't have it, like it wasn't sharp. He
was really extending guys. It felt like he was throwing
nine ten pitches to every hitter. And as you say,
his pitch count got way up there in the first inning,
and he didn't really recover, and you could feel that
(08:03):
even though the Dodgers were up to nothing. I think
for a good stint of that game, he just felt
that they were gonna get to him. They were gonna
get to him, whether it be he'd have to come
out because the pitch coown got too high, or he
would just you know, make a mistake and somebody who's
gonna hit it, which happened when Barshoe hit the home run.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, Well, and it was a combination of both. He
was throwing too many pitches, so then he had to
come out. Yeah, And it just didn't seem to me
like he had it because then here comes the bullpen.
And if we learned something from that first game, if
we needed a refresher course, I don't really think we did,
but perhaps we all did. Do not go to the
(08:43):
bullpen unless there, I don't know what has to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Unless it's the ninth inning and Suzaki comes in, Yes,
I mean because he brings them at Sheen, and I'm
thinking to myself.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I stood in this very sweet and said to Andrew Friedman, Hey,
why don't you bring Shean in and let him go?
Let him go. We've talked about it. Andrew Friedman said,
that's on the table. Yeah, take it off the table, Fred, No,
take it off. To take it off the table, you
have to. You have to who you going to if
you're right right and and who you're going to. And
(09:14):
that's my We can't go to Sazaki too early. No,
that's my point. But they have Will Smith, no, Will Clark, Will.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Klein who they put on the right closing that game
out with Rbleski.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, you know Will Klein,
who did get some action during the end of the season,
some run, but he's another one of the typical Dodger.
Who the hell's that guy? Where he comes from?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Because we don't have Alex Vesia oroviously so and and
bandit looked bad. Bandit looked like just somewhere along the line,
his confidence got of got erote. That's it, you know,
that really is because there were a period of time
and he was he come in, he would be lights
out and the last, you know, a few weeks of
the season and enter the playoffs, he just this.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Confidence level just been shot. It feels like, you know,
but but you got you know, you're hoping, you know. Look,
their game plan is to have the start is go
as deep as they can, right that if they can
do a complete game. Dave Roberts gonna air on the
side of Yeah, he may be at one hundred and
two pitches, one hundred and five pitches, it's the eighth inning,
and I'm gonna let him go as opposed to, Oh,
(10:21):
he hit that threshold. I gotta get him out of here.
I got to go. I gotta go to the pin. No,
he's gonna air on the side. I'm gonna let these
guys go. You know you've got Glass now going today
of all the guys. May doesn't feel like he is
a complete game guy, I know you've said that. You've
said that, Yeah, and I got seven. I think he
can get you seven. I just don't know if they
(10:43):
can ride him for a complete game. I you know
what with him tonight, it's going to be his efficiency. Yes,
that's all this is gonna come down to. He's gonna
pitch well, He's going to pitch well. It's how efficient
he will be. Yes, you can't have two twenty five
inning pitches twenty five pitch innings. You can't do that
because that's going to get you to that danger zone
(11:04):
and you want to try to avoid that. After the
Jays won the first game, I don't know if you
saw this and lookda but of the World Series forever.
Let's say one back to back, right, So here's the thing.
Since they haven't been forever, they actually thought it was
only one game, and they started celebrating like they had
won the World Series. I mean they started celebrating, Whereas
(11:25):
when the Dodgers won Game two, everybody shook hands and
walked off the field. I mean, they know there's work
to be done. But the Blue Jays got a little
excited after Game one, and I think as we moved
them to Game two, they took a step back and went,
uh oh, yeah, uh oh, now we know. Now we
got it. Because Game two was very much the way
the Dodgers have won in these playoffs, very much the
(11:47):
way it has been.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You know, first of all, it's been starting pitching, which
Yamamoto was incredible. But on top of that, you think, okay,
let me neutralize Otani and Betts and Freemen.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
If I can do that, then I'll be okay. Well,
will Smith hits the home run, Max Munsey hits the
home run? You know, uh, Pajes gets on gets a
hit late in the game, and Otani gets a hit.
I mean, it's the thing that people fear about the Dodgers,
and most is that up and down that lineup. Any
(12:20):
one of those guys can beat you, especially in October.
Key K is another guy that can beat you. So
you can't ever relax even though you think I got
through the Big Three, somebody else is coming, you know.
And it's funny when you look at key K. I
was talking to somebody who I have a great deal
of respect for, and they were discussing the fact that
you have to look at the playoffs as a fresh start.
(12:42):
Some guys perform exceptionally well in the playoffs. They could
struggle during the regular season, but really separate the two
the playoffs or a new season. Key K. And I've
said this to you, Rodney. Everybody loves him. He's a
great dancer, he's a clubhouse leader. During the regular season,
there are times he can't even hit his hat size.
(13:03):
You put him in the postseason, the guy's at like
three hundred. That's the difference with the Dodgers. You got
a guy all year long. We've said it. If they
could sign Keyk September first, it'd be great. The needam
there because when he gets to the postseason, now that's
a guy you gotta worry about.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, when you talk about and you're right, you're spot
on about Kik is he just and certain guys have that.
Certain guys when it gets to when the lights of
the brightest and and the stands are full and it's
really meaningful type of games, they come to life and
something you know, triggers inside of them.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But going back to your point about them feeling like
they won the World Series in Game one and then
game two going.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Uh, oh, what did we run into? I really think
they believe that in game one. I mean also, did.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You did you see the Derek Dieter quote before they
before Game two? After Game one, when they knew Yamamoto
was pitching it, he will not throw another complete game.
It would I just guarantee you will not do it,
and he did it. Because I think they felt, as
everybody was praising them, that their lineup, there's no way
you can get through that lineup that many times and
(14:14):
without them putting a bat in the ball in play
or getting hits. Because that's what they've thried thrived on
throughout the whole postseason is that that lineup puts so
much pressure on the pitching that they're gonna wear you out,
and Yamamoto had them step back and go if he
can do that, to us, this is our strength, is
putting the ball in play and getting hits up and
(14:35):
down the lineup, and we can do nothing with the guy.
So that was to me, that was the oh moment
of And they're gonna have possibly Snell coming back. They
got Glass. Now we gotta face Otani. I mean everyone
that the Dodgers throw at him is gonna be a
guy that can throw a complete game. All right, let
me ask you a question. And this has been a
(14:55):
topic of debate all week and long. So in game two,
Yamamoto up and in and hit George Springer. Okay, yes, okay,
up and in and plunked him, got him, got him
pretty good, to be honest with you. And he didn't
throw it at his butter or anything. I mean that
was up and in. Okay. So now you're thinking to yourself, Yeah,
(15:17):
I'm a Moto is a guy with impeccable control. Actually
he made them look silly a few times during that game. Yes,
and he just kind of lost control of one like that,
and that one hit George Springer. Now nobody ever throws
(15:37):
it anybody, No, nobody ever throws it in anybody. No.
And if you look at that, the way they struck
Springer out. The next time he was up and in,
he strung. He swung at that fastball that was up
and in, and that's the way they were pitching him
is up and in. Also the next time he was up,
he flinched out in the first pitch, because you really
(15:59):
look closely, kind of flinch. My question is was that
just an odd coincidence that the one guy that got
hit was George Springer? Let me tell you like this, Fred,
all right, I just said, you know they were pitching
him up and end, and you just talked about Yamamoto
and his control, and the one guy they hit was Springer.
(16:24):
Yamamoto understood the assignment, Fred, He understood the assignment for
all of Dodger fans, understanding that he comes from that
astro team. Remember in twenty seventeen that banged the trash cans.
Nobody will ever forget that. I don't care what team
you go to. You could transfer and get traded to
(16:45):
seven different teams. Fred, if you were on that team,
you got a mark on your back, and without a doubt,
that was sending a message without a doubt. And maybe
people don't think Yamamoto is a killer like that got
that kind of killer instinct. Absolutely does. People tell me
about him. Dave Roberts will talk about him. He absolutely
does World Baseball Classic things he did in Japan. He
(17:08):
was dominant over there. But absolutely at was sending a
message that we're here and I'm not gonna let you
crowd that plate number one. And we remember. I may
not have been on that team, but we remember. And
this is for Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
You wonder how much of a dog Yamamoto is did
so he spoke to Dylan Hernandez. Don't know if you've
got a chance to see Dylan's column over the weekend. Yeah,
he basically says he looks up to Clayton Kershaw, sees
him as a friend and a mentor. But basically said,
I'm coming for you. I'm coming for your records. I
want to chase you down. That tells you the kind
of mentality that Yamamoto has that he will say that publicly.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
On the record. Yeah, he wants it all. That's the
kind of guy that you have. Well, then he's gonna
have a fight in his hands because Sazaki said the
same thing with the Dodger signed him. He wanted to
be the greatest ever. He came here, Sazaki to be
the best pitcher ever, and he believes that the Dodgers
can get him to that point. So now Sazaki and
Yamamoto're gonna have to fight. What about Otani, Well, we're
(18:04):
gonna do it him. Tell you what, it's gonna be
like a bloodbath out there. They're all gonna go after
each other. All right. So you do believe that that
was just interesting quincs? Do you? I don't. I know,
I don't think it's an interesting coincidence at all. I
think it was hey, I'm coming up and in. You
better get out of the way. If you don't, it's
(18:26):
gonna hit you. And he came up and in and
he lived there. Don't get me wrong, It was like
they were pitching him that way. But that one, that
one went way up and in where he couldn't get
out of the way.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And you see he had little pad on his hand
the next time up too, so it was definitely hurting him.
But but yeah, I think that was one sending a message.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And that tell me, if you think this is true,
was that unspoken was that unspoken? Nobody even brought it
up before the game, No one even suggested it. It
was unspoken.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
You just you know, you know, I think you know
as soon as you signed with this club, you know
who the enemies are. You know, you know the clubs
who you don't have a liking to. The Padres are
one of them, the Giants obviously, but you also know
that it was those astros.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Everybody around the league knows that.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But I think you feel it when you come and
play for the Dodgers because that has never left, especially
never left the fans.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It is time for World Series Dodger Baseball. Tonight, the
Dodgers take on the Blue Jays Game three, first pitch
at five. Listen to all the games on AM five
seventy LA Sports and the iHeartRadio app from the ballfield
to the job site. Straps Powers World Series coverage on
AM five to seventy LA Sports. We are live at
the stadium getting ready for Game three, and we'll continue
(19:47):
Fred Rogan Rodney Pete on AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We're right, oh yeah, yes, we are back live from
the Blue Heaven Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Or about what four and a half hours for a
game time first pitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, blue Jays are
out here taking batting practice, already getting warm, getting loose.
Not a whole lot of them out here, Freddie, I
think it's a little different. You know, we don't often
come out here this early to see batting practice. But
it used to be where you need to have most
(20:27):
of the team out here hitting and you know, fielding
round balls and doing that kind of stuff. And you know,
maybe at the playoffs, maybe after one hundred and sixty
two games and all of that, they don't feel like
they need to do that as much. Maybe this is
just a little early BP. Maybe then they'll come back
with big BP. I mean at two, three, four, five,
(20:47):
six seven, there are seven Blue Jays out here. Yeah,
and one guy's got a fungal bat, so I don't
think he's playing. He's just knocking balls around. Before we
talk about tonight's game, and we have to do that,
Max Scherzer's pitch and we have to talk about that.
Can I just bring up one other thing that happened
in game two? Yes? Okay, what was the Stand for
(21:14):
Cancer concert? Oh? Now, listen, no one is making light
of cancer. No one, and I've lost family members to cancer. Yeah, okay,
all right, so we acknowledge how serious the disease is
and how every day. Our friend doctor Foreman was in
(21:36):
the studio last week from City of Hope, they are
looking for cures. Everyone acknowledges that. Everyone, you are watching
the World Series or the Super Bowl, you are watching
this really because sports is a form of entertainment as
an escape, and they have had stand for cancer. And
(21:58):
it's a nice moment, it is, right. I don't know
if you put it in the seventh inning, and I
really don't know if you follow it up with a
mini concert during the game. I thought that was one
of the oddest things. And I don't know who made
that decision. Obviously master Card sponsors it, so MasterCard told
(22:23):
somebody we're gonna spend an awful lot of money here
to make this happen. I think they need to rethink that. Rodney, Yeah, yeah,
it was odd because we've seen it before where guys
have the signs of family members and they take a
moment to go around the crowd and then the players have,
you know, the family members that have been affected by cancer,
(22:46):
and you see that moment.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
But to also throw a concert on there. It was like,
what five minutes long, eight minutes long. I don't know
how long it was, but it felt long during the
middle of the World Series. Yeah, it was a little odd.
It was a little odd.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And I'm with you MasterCards that we're paying an awful
lot of money, this is what we want. And Basic
Baseball said, okay, yeah, you're in, You're we think it's
a great idea. Let me tell you this. It was
a bad idea. It really was a bad idea. And
it also delayed the game. Yes, it took you out
(23:20):
of the moment. You know, you're watching the World Series.
It just took you out of the moment. Yeah, and
that's not what sports are about. Sports are an escape
from everyday life. You still have to acknowledge what happens
in life, but this is a period of time where
you look at things differently, and that dose of reality
(23:42):
added to the concert is. I don't think there was
one person that I spoke to that saw that that
thought that was a good idea. Yeah, it was just
it was just way too long. Again, it was it
was long before.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
It was long before when they just held the signs
up and people talk about it and said I'm standing
up for Joey or Susan or whomever, and they panned around.
That was a moment of delay, that they gave it
a moment, But then to throw a console mini concert
onto it. It just it was awkward. I'm with you,
it just was too long. Too long, all right, Let's
(24:18):
move to tonight.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Tyler Glass now goes for the Dodgers against some of
the Dodgers know all too well. And as a matter of fact,
the fans here in Los Angeles remember Max Scherzer.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
How do you think the fan's going to respond to him?
Not well, mister dead arm. Then he try to blame
everybody but himself if.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You remember, if you remember that fiasco and Kevin, if
I'm wrong, you'll correct me because you know my motto,
never let the facts get in the way of a
good story. That's kind of how I've lived my life. Yes,
he comes here and he was part of the Tred
Turner deal. Yep, right, yep. So he gets here and
he's pitching and you're going, oh god, we've got Max Schurzer.
(24:58):
This is great. Then near the end of the season
he his arm becomes fatigued, so he misses a start
or two. But now it's time for the playoffs. But
he can't really pitch in the playoffs because he said
there's something wrong with his arm. Well, he didn't remember.
(25:20):
He came in.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
He came in relief Rancis Francisco.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
He came there and he pitched the game before that.
He pitched the game before that.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
They could pitched the game one of that series, and
he got the final few outs in the game.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But then he said, after he came in relief. Yeah,
after he came in, his arm it wasn't feeling it.
You know, it was too much for him. But then
it was all said and done. He said the problem
was the reason he had arm problems is because the
Dodgers didn't use him enough. In other words, he pitched
(25:55):
that was it. His arm was shot at that point.
But he turned around and said, the reason that happened
is because they didn't pitch me enough. If they had
pitched him more, despite the fact his arm was fatigued,
he would have been better and he would have been Okay.
I still don't even understand what that meant, because he
(26:16):
actually called a dead arm or they called it dead arm, right,
and dead arm to me is that your arm is shot.
You can't pitch anymore. Why are we going to overwork you?
But he suggested that it was the Dodger's fault for
not pitching him enough innings, Like, don't I don't know
understand how that works. You're complaining of your dead arm.
Your arm is about to fall off. That's what I
(26:37):
think a dead arm is, right, And yeah, you want
to still go out there and throw more innings, but
you said you can't because because your arm is dead. Yes,
and then you turn around, right, it's your fault. It's
your fault. You did this. It's your fault. I couldn't go.
I hope they'd knock him out in the first inning, French,
you know, and you know he's a guy that it's
(26:59):
not a afraid to punch anybody against her way. That's
another thing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, remember, Yeah, he'd come here, guys, guys, guys that
don't know him. They'll slap him on the back or
give him my way to go it, turn around and
yell at him and give him a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh man. A couple of times he did it to
Dave Roberts, and then he did it to Snyder oh, well,
Snyder went to take him out against Seattle. Snyder turned
around and ran off the mountain. He goes, I'm not
going back out there. I'm not dealing with that guy.
Oh man. Now listen.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Obviously he doesn't have quite the stuff that he's had,
you know, he had five years ago. But he's still
a very very smart pitcher. And again we've seen it.
If you're hitting your spots more so than throwing a hundred,
that's more effective. And he's a guy when he's on
can hit his spots and utilize the multiple pitches that
he has. I just think facing that Dodger's lineup, I
(27:56):
don't know how long he goes Fred.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
He's a guy that they certainly not the type of
pictures that the Dodgers have that you're hoping they didn't
go complete games. I don't. I think they're thinking maybe
we can get five out of him, maybe six if
he has a good night. If he has a good night,
But I don't know that Dodger lineup's gonna make him,
make him work. Yeah, what I think is gonna be
a long night for him. Yeah, I think it's gonna
(28:19):
be a long night for Max Schurzer So now the
question becomes who is going to get it worse from
the fans? Here? Is there going to be Springer when
he goes up to bat or Sureser on every pitch.
Who's going to get it worse? Right?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I got I don't have much money in my pocket,
but I would take all the money out of my pocket,
go to Vegas and say it will absolutely one be
George Springer, without a doubt, Without a doubt. There's the
ugly taste of the Astros and every every Dodger fans mouth.
So as much as we just talked about Surezer and
him being a little off when he was here, that's
(28:57):
being kind when he was a Dodger. George Springer and
that Astro team and how cocky they were about it
afterwards as well.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
There is no love for them. So he will get
it ten times worth than in sures it. But I
would again suggest that Dodger fans do not forget Max Scherzer,
give him what he deserves. Yes, you know, of course,
treat everybody the way they should be treated. Springer. And
we set up before the series started, this guy goes
up to the plate, there should be fifty thousand fans
(29:27):
on their feet boing, and they should probably boot for
every pitch. Honestly, let him have it, Let him have it. Yeah, Okay,
wasn't he wasn't he like the first one to leave.
I think he is the first thing he believed that
that that super team. Yes, and so maybe he thinks
he's a little bit immune to all of that. Now
(29:49):
he's not quite Korea because Correa was the cocky one
after he yeah, after he left, and I'll twove everybody hates.
But maybe he thinks he's a little bit immune to it.
But he's gonna feel it tonight.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
He definitely did say he regrets all of it, quote
unquote seventeen. He was the only one who was contrite
about the entire situation.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, maybe what he can do is go buy everybody
a ring on the Dodgers. Hey, I agree, still did me?
You shouldn't bough the crap out of him. Yeah, no,
let him happen. Yeah, you gotta go get him, give
it to him, and then give it to Max Scherzer.
Be an equal opportunity, Bore, give it to How many
innings you give Max sh How long does he laugh?
If you had to predict it, Fred, you know what
(30:28):
I'm gonna say it now. I don't think he I
don't think he makes it to four. I think they're
going to hit him tonight. Yeah. I think they're gonna
let him have it big time tonight. I don't know
if he makes it through four innings. Maybe four.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah, I was gonna say that three or four. I
don't think he gets through two times through the lineup,
you know. I don't think he makes it through twice
through the lineup. So at some point during that time,
where it's the third inning or the fourth inning, I.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Think he'll be out of the game. Okay, so we're
always right, Oh please, it's gonna happen. Have we missed? Never?
That's what I'm saying. Never. So now here's the decision
for Dave Roberts, And why don't you make the decision? Listening?
You get to make the lineup. Who's playing Andy, pie
Has or Alex Call? Who are you starting in the
outfield tonight? I know who I'm starting. Who you're starting Call,
(31:21):
which means it'll be pie Has, But I I I'm
starting Call. And here's why. Here's why. Because you've got
to get some production out of that spot. You have
to get some production out of that spot, and he
produced the last game a little bit. And you know,
he struggled up until then, but he got it. Then
you get a couple of hits. Well you know what
he did. And I said, watching the game, Yeah, but
(31:42):
here's what I said. I almost got thrown out a second. Yep, yep,
And I said, at least he's hitting the ball. Yeah,
at least he's hitting the ball. Yes, okay, you know,
so that means I don't know what happened. I swung
when the ball hit my bat, and now at least
I'm hitting it. And Andy Pie has has been a
a very important part of this Doctor team all year long. Yeah,
(32:03):
that cannot be denied. I think he's just a lesser
He's a little lesser version of Taoskar where you don't know,
he can be very streaky, and so with Tasker he
could get on a roll and it's a big moment
in Taskar hits the home run. I think the similar
(32:23):
thing with Paez is that at some point he's gonna
come up with a big hit and a big play
or have a big game. And for that reason, I
don't I don't really want to take him out of
the lineup right now. Now Robby, he's hitting late in
the game and he's oh for three, then maybe you
do change it and put call in. But to start
(32:45):
the game here, game three at home, I wouldn't make
that change ninety three, I say, seventy seven ninety three.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Well, you know he raised his average if forgetting that
one hit.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yes he did, Yes he did. Now he's on a roll. Okay, Well,
and of course the danger is, as you suggest, you know,
you take him out, but that was the night he
was gonna go three for four with two home run
exactly right. But then again, maybe he won't and and
you're not. You're not changing him for let's let's face it,
Alex calls good defensive player. Has he lit it up?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Though you're taking hit on defense? I guess the argument
is he'll give you a better at bats. He works
at bats, he gets on base, even if he's not
gonna do a whole lot as far as slugging, he'll
get on base and give guys turn the lineup over.
So pi Haz is better defensively, while Caul is I
would say, probably average, while Piez is good above average. Yeah,
and I'm gonna take a hit on defense to try
to get a little bit more on offense.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I guess will be the switch off and the a
I get it in that position because you got Otani
coming up right after that. That you want a guy
that's gonna work the count and really get on base.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
And Pi Haz has not done that. In fact, he's
struck out with bases loaded I think one time and
Otani was coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, you can't do that, but I still, I still
believe that he is going to have some moments in
his World Series. Let me tell you the problem. And
there's one person to blame for role of this, Tommy Edmund.
It's Tommy Edmund. That's who you have to blame for this.
Why is it his fault? Okay, here's why. If he
doesn't have a bad ankle, he's gonna play in the outfield.
(34:11):
If he plays in the outfield, then they can start
Kim at second base and Pieest can go to the bench.
Let's get Kim in the game. That's who I want
to see play. Let's put him out there start flying
around the field. Why not who?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Because maybe it's the Game three of the World Series.
He hasn't played once in the entire post.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
How much more time do you have one? And it's
hard to take a guy out in the lineup it
hit twenty seven home runs for you during the regular season.
I mean, I know he's struggling right now, but again
to my point, I think he there's a moment where
I think he breaks out. And with a guy that's
had that kind of year, you got to feel that
at some point he will break this out.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
So you know they're taking a cage away. I guess
the Dodgers are not gonna take any early VP EARLYVP
on the field.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah. Did you hear what happened with they're playing last night?
By the way, who's Dodgers? No? Okay, So of course
the Dodgers have two planes. Yes, because why wouldn't they
So they need two planes, Yes, they do. Players only
plane that's in a staff plank. Game ends in Toronto.
The players are on the plane. They're headed home. Now
the next plane wasn't scheduled to leave till the morning,
(35:20):
but apparently there was a problem with the plane or
a delay of some sort. So the second plane got
back like at four point thirty yesterday afternoon. Oh and
that included Dave Roberts and the coaches, the team.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Plane that the staff plane like the couches and trainers plane.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Right, So wow, it got back so late that nobody
could go to their house. They rushed here to the
stadium and for the workout. They were all wearing their
black tracksuits. They didn't get to change. The guys were
on the field when they got here. They came right
to the stadium. He came right to the stadium.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Huh, that's interesting because they were there was actually the
inside information a third plane because the way the Dodgers
do it, they took the staff to Toronto. So my
good man son and r J got to travel to Toronto,
and he took a bunch of the staff here with
the Dodgers uh to Toronto and that plane got back
(36:17):
with the players plane.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Early in the morning. So they made it back. The
coaches playing were the only one was the only plane
that didn't make it back on time. So Dave Roberts
got screwed. Basically, Yeah, RJ got back before Dave Roberts.
He did he did, was he out there running some BP.
He was out there running some VP. He came home
and he had a he said, he told Dave. He said, Dave,
I got a good four hour nap in how about you.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
He did make some comments that made some headlines because
he said tongue in cheek. He was wondering if there
was intent behind their plane getting delayed.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Oh what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, like, oh, oh, did somebody like from the from
Toronto or candidate the prime minister you guys up to
try to make it heard.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
There was some little extra customs. Yeah, but he walked
it back.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
He says, no, that obviously, I was just saying a
tongue in cheek. It wasn't a big deal, but people
it got so much traction. People thought it was actually
Dave Roberts realistically thinking somebody put them up to it.
That's someone purposefully delayed the Dodgers playing getting back.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I believe I believed, ye, you'd be the first one
I heard that. I went, yes, yes, I know how
they think up there. I know what they were trying
to do. There's so nice to do that in the past.
Little so.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
I don't know about the planes, but they sabotage the
locker room, like turn off the air conditioning or turn
it up so there's no heat when you're playing in
dead of winter in Philadelphia, there's no heat in the
locker room, or in the summertime, there's no air conditioning.
Remember the Giants used to open on one end of
the end zone to the door where the wind would
(37:50):
just suck through and blow right in your face when
you were going that way, when you hit the twenty
yard line, they'd open that door.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
No wind, right in your face. It's like there's no
win for there's no win for sixty yards during this drive,
and all of a sudden we got winning on face.
What's going on? Well? You remember when the Lakers and
Celtics used to play in the finals. Every time the
Lakers would stay back in Boston, someone had to set
off the fire alarm of their hotels. Yeah, every time, Yeah,
try to wake them up.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
And then stories in the Boston garden. Now they had
no running hot water in the locker rooms. The locker
rooms are tiny bandbox for the visitors.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah right, our box. And those hotels would give out
the players numbers, room numbers to call up James Worthy,
the Worthy We're gonna kick you out. Okay, we are
alive here at Dodger Stadium getting ready for Game three.
(38:44):
Uh now, there are a number of the Dodgers on
the field out in left field, stretching, just starting to
throw the ball around a little bit. Blue Jays were
out here, and now they're all back inside. They're back
in the clubhouse. Media is assembling along the railing of
the baselines. So what you do normally, at least when
(39:06):
I did it, I can't remember if we still do
it this one anymore. They usually put the local media
in left field and the visiting media and right, and
then you have to line up. MLB network is out here.
Now they'll be doing their show. Where would Fox do
it on the other side? Now, yeah, Well, what they've
got to do is they got to bring in their
their stage like that. Yeah right, They've got to bring
(39:27):
in their stage, and I'm guessing they'll be on the
left side. Yeah right, they'll do it from there. So
they've got to bring in their stage. Where's Jim Hill
always here somewhere, don't I keep mad?
Speaker 2 (39:41):
You know, Jim's here somewhere.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Just look for the hair, So Kevin, I wasn't gonna
say it. Oh it's all right, Ken, You know what
that was so rude? What so rude? Just look for
the guy that wore the same suit in eighty eight.
Oh okay, but I'm the one. Alright, it's you. You
started this. I wasn't gonna say word. It's true. It's
(40:04):
very distinctive. I don't say anything bad about it. That's fair. No,
that's fair. Rob Parker. Phone around down here. Yeah, there
is old dirty Parker. Look at him. You know the
thing about Rob, He's really got nothing to do. You're
just showing up here. Now, look at him. Does anybody
know who? Somebody talk to me. Hey, they said, Rob.
(40:26):
We may use you or may not use you. Do
you want to come we you know, we may have

We went a two night hotel stay, dinner for two

at Fantasy Springs Resort. Okay. The answer to today's trivia
(41:56):
question Engineer Craig. The question was who was the first
guy to eat the food in the sweet whoa Engineer Craig.
Whenever they're grabbing one of those hot dogs right off
the bat, good move, Craig. Craig gave me a thumbs up. Yes,
apologetic Craig. Did I saw him sneak over there because
(42:20):
I was thinking, maybe, you know what, maybe I'll go
over But no, I said, now, I'm not gonna do it.
He had been lifting them lids for about an hour
and a half before we started to sell. See who
was in there? Good job, Craig, Craig. Any hot dogs
in there? For real? Oh? Yeah there are? Let's go
there are. I want to ask you, uh, if you
saw something after the game in Toronto and it was
(42:40):
shown on social media. Did you see I'm a Moto
after the game? If you didn't, I'll tell you what
it was. Did you see what he did? No? I
saw Saizaki and someone else bowing down to him. I
didn't see what he did. What did he do after
the game? He cleaned up the dugout? He what he
cleaned up the dugout? He went through and started throwing
(43:01):
out water bottles and picking stuff up. He won the game,
a complete game in the World Series. Everybody wanted to
talk to him. Then he went through the dugout and
cleaned it up before he left. You know what that says?
Toronald didn't make me sweat. I thought you gonna say
he had very good parents that Tawny manners too too.
(43:24):
But he's like, hey, I'll try to get a sweat
in and if you guys didn't make me sweat. I
got to hit something else in before I go to bed.
He cleaned up the dugout. Good for him, and you'd,
come to think of it, it's responsible. After I saw
him do that, and then after the game he really
didn't look like he sweat at all. You're right now,
he really didn't.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
It was it was as effortlessly as I've seen a
pitcher throw a complete game.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
What do you have? Ended up with one hundred and
two hundred and five it was his number. I think
it was one hundred and five or something like that.
Dave Roberts said he could have got another forty pitchers. Yeah,
I mean after that first inning he was cruising. He
was cruising. He was making some guys look bad too.
That was the thing about it when they talk about
him got You know, he's got six different pitches, and
(44:08):
all of them if they're working, you don't know what's coming.
And then he can hit you with ninety eight on
the fastball and locate it. He is very very difficulty.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
A single walk, no walks, no four hits. The one
run that was a sack fly.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
No walks. Well, listen, the only guy that got on
baseil lot of hit was the guy he hit since
he didn't walk anybody? Yeah? Yeah, you think he gets
it again tonight?
Speaker 4 (44:35):
No, No, I don't think glassnow goes after him.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I hope so right he does. I think he got
the message. No, I don't think he gets it. I
know fans are gonna want him to he Maybe maybe
we should knock him down, just send another message. You
don't hit him, just knock him down and rush him back. Yeah,
rushing back, Get off the plate, little bit fellow. Let
(45:01):
him know you we're here. But again tonight, every time
he comes up, I hope the fans react appropriately. And
I hope every time Max Suzer throws one pitch people
lose their mind. Remember dead arm. Just start screaming dead arm. Yeah,
dead Arm. Let's start the chat. You can be the
one to start that chat for red dead arm, dead Arm.
Max sures are dead Arm. Let him hear it. Let
(45:23):
him know we don't forget here. We don't forget. Yeah.
People think everybody here is pretty calm and laid back,
and you know, you know how we are in La.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
Yeah, we just take everything in stride. We don't get
mad about anything. We just love the beach in the
sunshine for Red. That's all we do out here. We
have no killer instinct. I guess they'll find out tonight.
Time for World Series Dodger Baseball. Dodgers take on Toronto
Game three, the series first pitch at five live from
the Galpa Motors broadcast both stream all games and HD
(45:55):
and the iHeartRadio app. The keyword is A in five
seventy LA Sports from Dodger Stadium Before Game three of
the World Series, Fred Rogan Rodney Peak on AM five
to seventy LA Sports
I come on, let's do this live from Dodger Stadium.
Fred Rogan Rodney peaked Game three of the World Series.
You ready, oh, Freddy, roll the balls out there, Let's go. Yes,
I'm ready? Are you kidding me? Game three World Series,
Dodger Stadium, Blue Heaven, Freddy boy. There's a lot of
media out here already, you cameras, a lot of cameras,
(00:25):
a lot of cameras. We got a lot to set
up here. But before we even get started today, I
want to tell you about something very important that we'll
do tomorrow that will apply to Wednesday. Now, I'm gonna
try to get this right tomorrow every one of our shows,
so it'll be uh, Kate's and Sacks in the morning, Rodney,
myself and then Petro some money. On every show tomorrow,
(00:48):
we're going to give a code word. We will identify
it as the code word. Write the code word down,
because then on Wednesday morning, Steven, we'll ask for the
code words plural, the code words from every show. If
you are the first caller with the code words from
(01:09):
every show, you will be at Wednesday's game. Kevin, Is
that correct?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes, you're like ninety eight percent there of course, no,
very high, but also very important. So it's not a
code word per show, it is per hour. So Tim
and Steve will give one at the six o'clock, seven
o'clock and eight o'clock hour tomorrow morning. We will give
one tomorrow afternoon, the noon hour at one o'clock hour,
PMS two of the.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Two o'clock hour, every o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And then you have to get the code word for
every hour from the previous day. Tim and Steve are
going to ask for those code words in the eight
am hour on Wednesday morning.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
So it's like, what five code words?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Six?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
No, there's more seeven seven words? Yeah, seven code words.
So start listening to well you listen anyway, why are
we even reminding you? Listen tomorrow starting at six and
write down all the cold words. Yep, okay. As for
the business at hand here, Rodney, is we get ready
for Game three. Let's start with what happened this morning
at about five am, because apparently that's a big story
(02:12):
at five am when the local news stations show up
and do that broadcast from Dodger Stadium. Now, even when
I did local news, I thought that was one of
the stupidest things. Wait, wait wait, you never did that. No,
I got here at five am. Oh my god, no, no, no,
they asked me, you want to go at five am?
No I don't. Well why don't you want to go
at five am? Because the only thing I can report
(02:34):
at five am as far as the atmosphere at the stadium,
it's dark. That's what's going on. There's not a soul
here and it's dark. So we began, as we normally
do with events like this, All of the local news
stations were out here doing their live morning shows with
not a single person here. They want to be first.
(02:57):
We're the first ones at died You Stadium. That's Perth
One's ear. Yeah, well there's that Clark Griswold that one right,
there's that, and there's this. You know, if it's happening,
we need to be there because that's who we are.
But the problem is there's nothing happening at five am.
So we've had that. Now this go round, Unlike the
(03:19):
Division series, in the league Championship series, far more media
on the field at this point. Yes, yes, also I
can tell you, and I've not seen this before. It
was about ten forty five when Todd light the PA
announcer started rehearsing the lineups so they can get the
timing down. I've never seen that before.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he's done that before. I
don't think maybe that not that early, but he's done
it before. I've heard him do it before.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, but that's the afternoon, not ten forty five in
the more true, that's true, it was early. He's getting ready. Yeah,
I mean things have changed a little bit. There's more
energy here just in the surrounding part of the field
at this point. The batting cages up. Also, we can
tell you who's singing the national anthem. Yes, we can
for the United States because we're playing Canada, so there
(04:09):
will be two of them. Of course, for the US
it'll be Brad Paisley, huge Dodger fan. He was out here,
did it about four times and they rehearsed and got ready. Yeah.
And then for Canada, Jp Sacks, yes, who apparently is
a Canadian songwriter and perform.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Multi platinum I guess songwriter, performer or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, I've not heard of him. I had neither. And
after he performs tonight, followed by Brad Paisley, no one
will remember him because cold frid but no, because we
stood out here and listened to it, and I thought
he was you know, he did a nice job. He
did a nice job. Oh Canada, it's kind of a hey,
(04:49):
he just did a nice job. Yeah yeah, And Brad
Paisley got out here and it was like, oh, whoa,
this is an entirely different div now. Oh am I wrong? No,
it was I don't even I can't. I don't want
to dog him out like that, but it was it
(05:11):
was like it was a minor league performance. And then
the big boys came out. Sound so yeah, Brad comes out,
he's got his electric guitar, he's singing loud, and of
course it's the our national anthem, so it hits home
a little bit harder. But yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Know, it was like, Okay, that's nice, Okaynada, he did
a nice job.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Brad comes on. It's just like he said, nobody's gonna
remember KP. Sacks, but he did. Kevin, don't make that face, Yeah,
don't make that face. Are we wrong, Kevin P. Sacks?
Are we wrong? No offense, JP Sacks Just Brad was
kind of impressive.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Maybe true, doesn't mean you have to say it well,
man called JP Sacks.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You might have a legion of fans out there afraid him.
I enjoy him. Yeah, I'm sure he does. But do
you want me to say what rod up agains? Do
you want me to say what Rodney actually said? And
do you want me to tell you what he actually said?
So we heard JP Sacks and we heard Brad Paisley,
and I said, boy, there's the difference. And Rodney goes
to you're JP Sacks. You go, what do I have
(06:18):
to do? What do I have to do? It was
just night and day, But that looks be great tonight.
And I'm sure they'll have a flyover and that's always
the best part, the flyover, And that'll come after Brad
Paisley sings a national anthem. Let's get to it, let's
go backwards and get you caught up. Game one, So
(06:41):
the Dodgers get hammered in Toronto and Blake Snell starts
the game. And I knew in the first inning, A
he didn't have it, and B they were going to
be in big trouble. And there's only one reason why
he threw too many pitches. You cannot get to the bullpen,
and he threw too many pitches and I thought this
(07:04):
is going to be a long night. Yeah, okay, But
if you said that in game one, what did you
say in game two? Because Yamamoto threw twenty three pitches too.
I mean, we'll get to that. But you didn't feel
Blake could come out of that. Here's why, because in
game one, when the second inning started, Blake still seemed
(07:24):
a little shaky to me. In game two, when the
second inning started, yamamotos seemed now that he had found
his rhythm, and I thought there was a difference. I
thought Snell didn't find that rhythm in the second inning. Well,
Yamamoto all of a sudden did and that was a
difference in my mind.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Yeah, I thought they were both in trouble. I felt
the same way you did with Snell. It just felt
like he didn't have it, like it wasn't sharp. He
was really extending guys. It felt like he was throwing
nine ten pitches to every hitter. And as you say,
his pitch count got way up there in the first inning,
and he didn't really recover, and you could feel that
(08:03):
even though the Dodgers were up to nothing. I think
for a good stint of that game, he just felt
that they were gonna get to him. They were gonna
get to him, whether it be he'd have to come
out because the pitch coown got too high, or he
would just you know, make a mistake and somebody who's
gonna hit it, which happened when Barshoe hit the home run.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, Well, and it was a combination of both. He
was throwing too many pitches, so then he had to
come out. Yeah, And it just didn't seem to me
like he had it because then here comes the bullpen.
And if we learned something from that first game, if
we needed a refresher course, I don't really think we did,
but perhaps we all did. Do not go to the
(08:43):
bullpen unless there, I don't know what has to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Unless it's the ninth inning and Suzaki comes in, Yes,
I mean because he brings them at Sheen, and I'm
thinking to myself.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I stood in this very sweet and said to Andrew Friedman, Hey,
why don't you bring Shean in and let him go?
Let him go. We've talked about it. Andrew Friedman said,
that's on the table. Yeah, take it off the table, Fred, No,
take it off. To take it off the table, you
have to. You have to who you going to if
you're right right and and who you're going to. And
(09:14):
that's my We can't go to Sazaki too early. No,
that's my point. But they have Will Smith, no, Will Clark, Will.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Klein who they put on the right closing that game
out with Rbleski.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, but what I'm saying is, you know Will Klein,
who did get some action during the end of the season,
some run, but he's another one of the typical Dodger.
Who the hell's that guy? Where he comes from?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Because we don't have Alex Vesia oroviously so and and
bandit looked bad. Bandit looked like just somewhere along the line,
his confidence got of got erote. That's it, you know,
that really is because there were a period of time
and he was he come in, he would be lights
out and the last, you know, a few weeks of
the season and enter the playoffs, he just this.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Confidence level just been shot. It feels like, you know,
but but you got you know, you're hoping, you know. Look,
their game plan is to have the start is go
as deep as they can, right that if they can
do a complete game. Dave Roberts gonna air on the
side of Yeah, he may be at one hundred and
two pitches, one hundred and five pitches, it's the eighth inning,
and I'm gonna let him go as opposed to, Oh,
(10:21):
he hit that threshold. I gotta get him out of here.
I got to go. I gotta go to the pin. No,
he's gonna air on the side. I'm gonna let these
guys go. You know you've got Glass now going today
of all the guys. May doesn't feel like he is
a complete game guy, I know you've said that. You've
said that, Yeah, and I got seven. I think he
can get you seven. I just don't know if they
(10:43):
can ride him for a complete game. I you know
what with him tonight, it's going to be his efficiency. Yes,
that's all this is gonna come down to. He's gonna
pitch well, He's going to pitch well. It's how efficient
he will be. Yes, you can't have two twenty five
inning pitches twenty five pitch innings. You can't do that
because that's going to get you to that danger zone
(11:04):
and you want to try to avoid that. After the
Jays won the first game, I don't know if you
saw this and lookda but of the World Series forever.
Let's say one back to back, right, So here's the thing.
Since they haven't been forever, they actually thought it was
only one game, and they started celebrating like they had
won the World Series. I mean they started celebrating, Whereas
(11:25):
when the Dodgers won Game two, everybody shook hands and
walked off the field. I mean, they know there's work
to be done. But the Blue Jays got a little
excited after Game one, and I think as we moved
them to Game two, they took a step back and went,
uh oh, yeah, uh oh, now we know. Now we
got it. Because Game two was very much the way
the Dodgers have won in these playoffs, very much the
(11:47):
way it has been.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
You know, first of all, it's been starting pitching, which
Yamamoto was incredible. But on top of that, you think, okay,
let me neutralize Otani and Betts and Freemen.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
If I can do that, then I'll be okay. Well,
will Smith hits the home run, Max Munsey hits the
home run? You know, uh, Pajes gets on gets a
hit late in the game, and Otani gets a hit.
I mean, it's the thing that people fear about the Dodgers,
and most is that up and down that lineup. Any
(12:20):
one of those guys can beat you, especially in October.
Key K is another guy that can beat you. So
you can't ever relax even though you think I got
through the Big Three, somebody else is coming, you know.
And it's funny when you look at key K. I
was talking to somebody who I have a great deal
of respect for, and they were discussing the fact that
you have to look at the playoffs as a fresh start.
(12:42):
Some guys perform exceptionally well in the playoffs. They could
struggle during the regular season, but really separate the two
the playoffs or a new season. Key K. And I've
said this to you, Rodney. Everybody loves him. He's a
great dancer, he's a clubhouse leader. During the regular season,
there are times he can't even hit his hat size.
(13:03):
You put him in the postseason, the guy's at like
three hundred. That's the difference with the Dodgers. You got
a guy all year long. We've said it. If they
could sign Keyk September first, it'd be great. The needam
there because when he gets to the postseason, now that's
a guy you gotta worry about.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, when you talk about and you're right, you're spot
on about Kik is he just and certain guys have that.
Certain guys when it gets to when the lights of
the brightest and and the stands are full and it's
really meaningful type of games, they come to life and
something you know, triggers inside of them.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
But going back to your point about them feeling like
they won the World Series in Game one and then
game two going.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Uh, oh, what did we run into? I really think
they believe that in game one. I mean also, did.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You did you see the Derek Dieter quote before they
before Game two? After Game one, when they knew Yamamoto
was pitching it, he will not throw another complete game.
It would I just guarantee you will not do it,
and he did it. Because I think they felt, as
everybody was praising them, that their lineup, there's no way
you can get through that lineup that many times and
(14:14):
without them putting a bat in the ball in play
or getting hits. Because that's what they've thried thrived on
throughout the whole postseason is that that lineup puts so
much pressure on the pitching that they're gonna wear you out,
and Yamamoto had them step back and go if he
can do that, to us, this is our strength, is
putting the ball in play and getting hits up and
(14:35):
down the lineup, and we can do nothing with the guy.
So that was to me, that was the oh moment
of And they're gonna have possibly Snell coming back. They
got Glass. Now we gotta face Otani. I mean everyone
that the Dodgers throw at him is gonna be a
guy that can throw a complete game. All right, let
me ask you a question. And this has been a
(14:55):
topic of debate all week and long. So in game two,
Yamamoto up and in and hit George Springer. Okay, yes, okay,
up and in and plunked him, got him, got him
pretty good, to be honest with you. And he didn't
throw it at his butter or anything. I mean that
was up and in. Okay. So now you're thinking to yourself, Yeah,
(15:17):
I'm a Moto is a guy with impeccable control. Actually
he made them look silly a few times during that game. Yes,
and he just kind of lost control of one like that,
and that one hit George Springer. Now nobody ever throws
(15:37):
it anybody, No, nobody ever throws it in anybody. No.
And if you look at that, the way they struck
Springer out. The next time he was up and in,
he strung. He swung at that fastball that was up
and in, and that's the way they were pitching him
is up and in. Also the next time he was up,
he flinched out in the first pitch, because you really
(15:59):
look closely, kind of flinch. My question is was that
just an odd coincidence that the one guy that got
hit was George Springer? Let me tell you like this, Fred,
all right, I just said, you know they were pitching
him up and end, and you just talked about Yamamoto
and his control, and the one guy they hit was Springer.
(16:24):
Yamamoto understood the assignment, Fred, He understood the assignment for
all of Dodger fans, understanding that he comes from that
astro team. Remember in twenty seventeen that banged the trash cans.
Nobody will ever forget that. I don't care what team
you go to. You could transfer and get traded to
(16:45):
seven different teams. Fred, if you were on that team,
you got a mark on your back, and without a doubt,
that was sending a message without a doubt. And maybe
people don't think Yamamoto is a killer like that got
that kind of killer instinct. Absolutely does. People tell me
about him. Dave Roberts will talk about him. He absolutely
does World Baseball Classic things he did in Japan. He
(17:08):
was dominant over there. But absolutely at was sending a
message that we're here and I'm not gonna let you
crowd that plate number one. And we remember. I may
not have been on that team, but we remember. And
this is for Dodger fans.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
You wonder how much of a dog Yamamoto is did
so he spoke to Dylan Hernandez. Don't know if you've
got a chance to see Dylan's column over the weekend. Yeah,
he basically says he looks up to Clayton Kershaw, sees
him as a friend and a mentor. But basically said,
I'm coming for you. I'm coming for your records. I
want to chase you down. That tells you the kind
of mentality that Yamamoto has that he will say that publicly.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
On the record. Yeah, he wants it all. That's the
kind of guy that you have. Well, then he's gonna
have a fight in his hands because Sazaki said the
same thing with the Dodger signed him. He wanted to
be the greatest ever. He came here, Sazaki to be
the best pitcher ever, and he believes that the Dodgers
can get him to that point. So now Sazaki and
Yamamoto're gonna have to fight. What about Otani, Well, we're
(18:04):
gonna do it him. Tell you what, it's gonna be
like a bloodbath out there. They're all gonna go after
each other. All right. So you do believe that that
was just interesting quincs? Do you? I don't. I know,
I don't think it's an interesting coincidence at all. I
think it was hey, I'm coming up and in. You
better get out of the way. If you don't, it's
(18:26):
gonna hit you. And he came up and in and
he lived there. Don't get me wrong, It was like
they were pitching him that way. But that one, that
one went way up and in where he couldn't get
out of the way.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
And you see he had little pad on his hand
the next time up too, so it was definitely hurting him.
But but yeah, I think that was one sending a message.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And that tell me, if you think this is true,
was that unspoken was that unspoken? Nobody even brought it
up before the game, No one even suggested it. It
was unspoken.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
You just you know, you know, I think you know
as soon as you signed with this club, you know
who the enemies are. You know, you know the clubs
who you don't have a liking to. The Padres are
one of them, the Giants obviously, but you also know
that it was those astros.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Everybody around the league knows that.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
But I think you feel it when you come and
play for the Dodgers because that has never left, especially
never left the fans.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It is time for World Series Dodger Baseball. Tonight, the
Dodgers take on the Blue Jays Game three, first pitch
at five. Listen to all the games on AM five
seventy LA Sports and the iHeartRadio app from the ballfield
to the job site. Straps Powers World Series coverage on
AM five to seventy LA Sports. We are live at
the stadium getting ready for Game three, and we'll continue
(19:47):
Fred Rogan Rodney Pete on AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We're right, oh yeah, yes, we are back live from
the Blue Heaven Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Or about what four and a half hours for a
game time first pitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, blue Jays are
out here taking batting practice, already getting warm, getting loose.
Not a whole lot of them out here, Freddie, I
think it's a little different. You know, we don't often
come out here this early to see batting practice. But
it used to be where you need to have most
(20:27):
of the team out here hitting and you know, fielding
round balls and doing that kind of stuff. And you know,
maybe at the playoffs, maybe after one hundred and sixty
two games and all of that, they don't feel like
they need to do that as much. Maybe this is
just a little early BP. Maybe then they'll come back
with big BP. I mean at two, three, four, five,
(20:47):
six seven, there are seven Blue Jays out here. Yeah,
and one guy's got a fungal bat, so I don't
think he's playing. He's just knocking balls around. Before we
talk about tonight's game, and we have to do that,
Max Scherzer's pitch and we have to talk about that.
Can I just bring up one other thing that happened
in game two? Yes? Okay, what was the Stand for
(21:14):
Cancer concert? Oh? Now, listen, no one is making light
of cancer. No one, and I've lost family members to cancer. Yeah, okay,
all right, so we acknowledge how serious the disease is
and how every day. Our friend doctor Foreman was in
(21:36):
the studio last week from City of Hope, they are
looking for cures. Everyone acknowledges that. Everyone, you are watching
the World Series or the Super Bowl, you are watching
this really because sports is a form of entertainment as
an escape, and they have had stand for cancer. And
(21:58):
it's a nice moment, it is, right. I don't know
if you put it in the seventh inning, and I
really don't know if you follow it up with a
mini concert during the game. I thought that was one
of the oddest things. And I don't know who made
that decision. Obviously master Card sponsors it, so MasterCard told
(22:23):
somebody we're gonna spend an awful lot of money here
to make this happen. I think they need to rethink that. Rodney, Yeah, yeah,
it was odd because we've seen it before where guys
have the signs of family members and they take a
moment to go around the crowd and then the players have,
you know, the family members that have been affected by cancer,
(22:46):
and you see that moment.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
But to also throw a concert on there. It was like,
what five minutes long, eight minutes long. I don't know
how long it was, but it felt long during the
middle of the World Series. Yeah, it was a little odd.
It was a little odd.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
And I'm with you MasterCards that we're paying an awful
lot of money, this is what we want. And Basic
Baseball said, okay, yeah, you're in, You're we think it's
a great idea. Let me tell you this. It was
a bad idea. It really was a bad idea. And
it also delayed the game. Yes, it took you out
(23:20):
of the moment. You know, you're watching the World Series.
It just took you out of the moment. Yeah, and
that's not what sports are about. Sports are an escape
from everyday life. You still have to acknowledge what happens
in life, but this is a period of time where
you look at things differently, and that dose of reality
(23:42):
added to the concert is. I don't think there was
one person that I spoke to that saw that that
thought that was a good idea. Yeah, it was just
it was just way too long. Again, it was it
was long before.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
It was long before when they just held the signs
up and people talk about it and said I'm standing
up for Joey or Susan or whomever, and they panned around.
That was a moment of delay, that they gave it
a moment, But then to throw a console mini concert
onto it. It just it was awkward. I'm with you,
it just was too long. Too long, all right, Let's
(24:18):
move to tonight.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Tyler Glass now goes for the Dodgers against some of
the Dodgers know all too well. And as a matter of fact,
the fans here in Los Angeles remember Max Scherzer.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
How do you think the fan's going to respond to him?
Not well, mister dead arm. Then he try to blame
everybody but himself if.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You remember, if you remember that fiasco and Kevin, if
I'm wrong, you'll correct me because you know my motto,
never let the facts get in the way of a
good story. That's kind of how I've lived my life. Yes,
he comes here and he was part of the Tred
Turner deal. Yep, right, yep. So he gets here and
he's pitching and you're going, oh god, we've got Max Schurzer.
(24:58):
This is great. Then near the end of the season
he his arm becomes fatigued, so he misses a start
or two. But now it's time for the playoffs. But
he can't really pitch in the playoffs because he said
there's something wrong with his arm. Well, he didn't remember.
(25:20):
He came in.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
He came in relief Rancis Francisco.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
He came there and he pitched the game before that.
He pitched the game before that.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
They could pitched the game one of that series, and
he got the final few outs in the game.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
But then he said, after he came in relief. Yeah,
after he came in, his arm it wasn't feeling it.
You know, it was too much for him. But then
it was all said and done. He said the problem
was the reason he had arm problems is because the
Dodgers didn't use him enough. In other words, he pitched
(25:55):
that was it. His arm was shot at that point.
But he turned around and said, the reason that happened
is because they didn't pitch me enough. If they had
pitched him more, despite the fact his arm was fatigued,
he would have been better and he would have been Okay.
I still don't even understand what that meant, because he
(26:16):
actually called a dead arm or they called it dead arm, right,
and dead arm to me is that your arm is shot.
You can't pitch anymore. Why are we going to overwork you?
But he suggested that it was the Dodger's fault for
not pitching him enough innings, Like, don't I don't know
understand how that works. You're complaining of your dead arm.
Your arm is about to fall off. That's what I
(26:37):
think a dead arm is, right, And yeah, you want
to still go out there and throw more innings, but
you said you can't because because your arm is dead. Yes,
and then you turn around, right, it's your fault. It's
your fault. You did this. It's your fault. I couldn't go.
I hope they'd knock him out in the first inning, French,
you know, and you know he's a guy that it's
(26:59):
not a afraid to punch anybody against her way. That's
another thing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Yeah, remember, Yeah, he'd come here, guys, guys, guys that
don't know him. They'll slap him on the back or
give him my way to go it, turn around and
yell at him and give him a dirty look.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh man. A couple of times he did it to
Dave Roberts, and then he did it to Snyder oh, well,
Snyder went to take him out against Seattle. Snyder turned
around and ran off the mountain. He goes, I'm not
going back out there. I'm not dealing with that guy.
Oh man. Now listen.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Obviously he doesn't have quite the stuff that he's had,
you know, he had five years ago. But he's still
a very very smart pitcher. And again we've seen it.
If you're hitting your spots more so than throwing a hundred,
that's more effective. And he's a guy when he's on
can hit his spots and utilize the multiple pitches that
he has. I just think facing that Dodger's lineup, I
(27:56):
don't know how long he goes Fred.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
He's a guy that they certainly not the type of
pictures that the Dodgers have that you're hoping they didn't
go complete games. I don't. I think they're thinking maybe
we can get five out of him, maybe six if
he has a good night. If he has a good night,
But I don't know that Dodger lineup's gonna make him,
make him work. Yeah, what I think is gonna be
a long night for him. Yeah, I think it's gonna
(28:19):
be a long night for Max Schurzer So now the
question becomes who is going to get it worse from
the fans? Here? Is there going to be Springer when
he goes up to bat or Sureser on every pitch.
Who's going to get it worse? Right?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
I got I don't have much money in my pocket,
but I would take all the money out of my pocket,
go to Vegas and say it will absolutely one be
George Springer, without a doubt, Without a doubt. There's the
ugly taste of the Astros and every every Dodger fans mouth.
So as much as we just talked about Surezer and
him being a little off when he was here, that's
(28:57):
being kind when he was a Dodger. George Springer and
that Astro team and how cocky they were about it
afterwards as well.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
There is no love for them. So he will get
it ten times worth than in sures it. But I
would again suggest that Dodger fans do not forget Max Scherzer,
give him what he deserves. Yes, you know, of course,
treat everybody the way they should be treated. Springer. And
we set up before the series started, this guy goes
up to the plate, there should be fifty thousand fans
(29:27):
on their feet boing, and they should probably boot for
every pitch. Honestly, let him have it, Let him have it. Yeah, Okay,
wasn't he wasn't he like the first one to leave.
I think he is the first thing he believed that
that that super team. Yes, and so maybe he thinks
he's a little bit immune to all of that. Now
(29:49):
he's not quite Korea because Correa was the cocky one
after he yeah, after he left, and I'll twove everybody hates.
But maybe he thinks he's a little bit immune to it.
But he's gonna feel it tonight.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
He definitely did say he regrets all of it, quote
unquote seventeen. He was the only one who was contrite
about the entire situation.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well, maybe what he can do is go buy everybody
a ring on the Dodgers. Hey, I agree, still did me?
You shouldn't bough the crap out of him. Yeah, no,
let him happen. Yeah, you gotta go get him, give
it to him, and then give it to Max Scherzer.
Be an equal opportunity, Bore, give it to How many
innings you give Max sh How long does he laugh?
If you had to predict it, Fred, you know what
(30:28):
I'm gonna say it now. I don't think he I
don't think he makes it to four. I think they're
going to hit him tonight. Yeah. I think they're gonna
let him have it big time tonight. I don't know
if he makes it through four innings. Maybe four.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah, I was gonna say that three or four. I
don't think he gets through two times through the lineup,
you know. I don't think he makes it through twice
through the lineup. So at some point during that time,
where it's the third inning or the fourth inning, I.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Think he'll be out of the game. Okay, so we're
always right, Oh please, it's gonna happen. Have we missed? Never?
That's what I'm saying. Never. So now here's the decision
for Dave Roberts, And why don't you make the decision? Listening?
You get to make the lineup. Who's playing Andy, pie
Has or Alex Call? Who are you starting in the
outfield tonight? I know who I'm starting. Who you're starting Call,
(31:21):
which means it'll be pie Has, But I I I'm
starting Call. And here's why. Here's why. Because you've got
to get some production out of that spot. You have
to get some production out of that spot, and he
produced the last game a little bit. And you know,
he struggled up until then, but he got it. Then
you get a couple of hits. Well you know what
he did. And I said, watching the game, Yeah, but
(31:42):
here's what I said. I almost got thrown out a second. Yep, yep,
And I said, at least he's hitting the ball. Yeah,
at least he's hitting the ball. Yes, okay, you know,
so that means I don't know what happened. I swung
when the ball hit my bat, and now at least
I'm hitting it. And Andy Pie has has been a
a very important part of this Doctor team all year long. Yeah,
(32:03):
that cannot be denied. I think he's just a lesser
He's a little lesser version of Taoskar where you don't know,
he can be very streaky, and so with Tasker he
could get on a roll and it's a big moment
in Taskar hits the home run. I think the similar
(32:23):
thing with Paez is that at some point he's gonna
come up with a big hit and a big play
or have a big game. And for that reason, I
don't I don't really want to take him out of
the lineup right now. Now Robby, he's hitting late in
the game and he's oh for three, then maybe you
do change it and put call in. But to start
(32:45):
the game here, game three at home, I wouldn't make
that change ninety three, I say, seventy seven ninety three.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Well, you know he raised his average if forgetting that
one hit.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yes he did, Yes he did. Now he's on a roll. Okay, Well,
and of course the danger is, as you suggest, you know,
you take him out, but that was the night he
was gonna go three for four with two home run
exactly right. But then again, maybe he won't and and
you're not. You're not changing him for let's let's face it,
Alex calls good defensive player. Has he lit it up?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Though you're taking hit on defense? I guess the argument
is he'll give you a better at bats. He works
at bats, he gets on base, even if he's not
gonna do a whole lot as far as slugging, he'll
get on base and give guys turn the lineup over.
So pi Haz is better defensively, while Caul is I
would say, probably average, while Piez is good above average. Yeah,
and I'm gonna take a hit on defense to try
to get a little bit more on offense.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I guess will be the switch off and the a
I get it in that position because you got Otani
coming up right after that. That you want a guy
that's gonna work the count and really get on base.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
And Pi Haz has not done that. In fact, he's
struck out with bases loaded I think one time and
Otani was coming up next.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, you can't do that, but I still, I still
believe that he is going to have some moments in
his World Series. Let me tell you the problem. And
there's one person to blame for role of this, Tommy Edmund.
It's Tommy Edmund. That's who you have to blame for this.
Why is it his fault? Okay, here's why. If he
doesn't have a bad ankle, he's gonna play in the outfield.
(34:11):
If he plays in the outfield, then they can start
Kim at second base and Pieest can go to the bench.
Let's get Kim in the game. That's who I want
to see play. Let's put him out there start flying
around the field. Why not who?
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Because maybe it's the Game three of the World Series.
He hasn't played once in the entire post.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
How much more time do you have one? And it's
hard to take a guy out in the lineup it
hit twenty seven home runs for you during the regular season.
I mean, I know he's struggling right now, but again
to my point, I think he there's a moment where
I think he breaks out. And with a guy that's
had that kind of year, you got to feel that
at some point he will break this out.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
So you know they're taking a cage away. I guess
the Dodgers are not gonna take any early VP EARLYVP
on the field.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah. Did you hear what happened with they're playing last night?
By the way, who's Dodgers? No? Okay, So of course
the Dodgers have two planes. Yes, because why wouldn't they
So they need two planes, Yes, they do. Players only
plane that's in a staff plank. Game ends in Toronto.
The players are on the plane. They're headed home. Now
the next plane wasn't scheduled to leave till the morning,
(35:20):
but apparently there was a problem with the plane or
a delay of some sort. So the second plane got
back like at four point thirty yesterday afternoon. Oh and
that included Dave Roberts and the coaches, the team.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Plane that the staff plane like the couches and trainers plane.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Right, So wow, it got back so late that nobody
could go to their house. They rushed here to the
stadium and for the workout. They were all wearing their
black tracksuits. They didn't get to change. The guys were
on the field when they got here. They came right
to the stadium. He came right to the stadium.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Huh, that's interesting because they were there was actually the
inside information a third plane because the way the Dodgers
do it, they took the staff to Toronto. So my
good man son and r J got to travel to Toronto,
and he took a bunch of the staff here with
the Dodgers uh to Toronto and that plane got back
(36:17):
with the players plane.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Early in the morning. So they made it back. The
coaches playing were the only one was the only plane
that didn't make it back on time. So Dave Roberts
got screwed. Basically, Yeah, RJ got back before Dave Roberts.
He did he did, was he out there running some BP.
He was out there running some VP. He came home
and he had a he said, he told Dave. He said, Dave,
I got a good four hour nap in how about you.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
He did make some comments that made some headlines because
he said tongue in cheek. He was wondering if there
was intent behind their plane getting delayed.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Oh what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Yeah, like, oh, oh, did somebody like from the from
Toronto or candidate the prime minister you guys up to
try to make it heard.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
There was some little extra customs. Yeah, but he walked
it back.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
He says, no, that obviously, I was just saying a
tongue in cheek. It wasn't a big deal, but people
it got so much traction. People thought it was actually
Dave Roberts realistically thinking somebody put them up to it.
That's someone purposefully delayed the Dodgers playing getting back.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I believe I believed, ye, you'd be the first one
I heard that. I went, yes, yes, I know how
they think up there. I know what they were trying
to do. There's so nice to do that in the past.
Little so.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
I don't know about the planes, but they sabotage the
locker room, like turn off the air conditioning or turn
it up so there's no heat when you're playing in
dead of winter in Philadelphia, there's no heat in the
locker room, or in the summertime, there's no air conditioning.
Remember the Giants used to open on one end of
the end zone to the door where the wind would
(37:50):
just suck through and blow right in your face when
you were going that way, when you hit the twenty
yard line, they'd open that door.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
No wind, right in your face. It's like there's no
win for there's no win for sixty yards during this drive,
and all of a sudden we got winning on face.
What's going on? Well? You remember when the Lakers and
Celtics used to play in the finals. Every time the
Lakers would stay back in Boston, someone had to set
off the fire alarm of their hotels. Yeah, every time, Yeah,
try to wake them up.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
And then stories in the Boston garden. Now they had
no running hot water in the locker rooms. The locker
rooms are tiny bandbox for the visitors.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah right, our box. And those hotels would give out
the players numbers, room numbers to call up James Worthy,
the Worthy We're gonna kick you out. Okay, we are
alive here at Dodger Stadium getting ready for Game three.
(38:44):
Uh now, there are a number of the Dodgers on
the field out in left field, stretching, just starting to
throw the ball around a little bit. Blue Jays were
out here, and now they're all back inside. They're back
in the clubhouse. Media is assembling along the railing of
the baselines. So what you do normally, at least when
(39:06):
I did it, I can't remember if we still do
it this one anymore. They usually put the local media
in left field and the visiting media and right, and
then you have to line up. MLB network is out here.
Now they'll be doing their show. Where would Fox do
it on the other side? Now, yeah, Well, what they've
got to do is they got to bring in their
their stage like that. Yeah right, They've got to bring
(39:27):
in their stage, and I'm guessing they'll be on the
left side. Yeah right, they'll do it from there. So
they've got to bring in their stage. Where's Jim Hill
always here somewhere, don't I keep mad?
Speaker 2 (39:41):
You know, Jim's here somewhere.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Just look for the hair, So Kevin, I wasn't gonna
say it. Oh it's all right, Ken, You know what
that was so rude? What so rude? Just look for
the guy that wore the same suit in eighty eight.
Oh okay, but I'm the one. Alright, it's you. You
started this. I wasn't gonna say word. It's true. It's
(40:04):
very distinctive. I don't say anything bad about it. That's fair. No,
that's fair. Rob Parker. Phone around down here. Yeah, there
is old dirty Parker. Look at him. You know the
thing about Rob, He's really got nothing to do. You're
just showing up here. Now, look at him. Does anybody
know who? Somebody talk to me. Hey, they said, Rob.

We went a two night hotel stay, dinner for two

(41:56):
question Engineer Craig. The question was who was the first
guy to eat the food in the sweet whoa Engineer Craig.
Whenever they're grabbing one of those hot dogs right off
the bat, good move, Craig. Craig gave me a thumbs up. Yes,
apologetic Craig. Did I saw him sneak over there because
(42:20):
I was thinking, maybe, you know what, maybe I'll go
over But no, I said, now, I'm not gonna do it.
He had been lifting them lids for about an hour
and a half before we started to sell. See who
was in there? Good job, Craig, Craig. Any hot dogs
in there? For real? Oh? Yeah there are? Let's go
there are. I want to ask you, uh, if you
saw something after the game in Toronto and it was
(42:40):
shown on social media. Did you see I'm a Moto
after the game? If you didn't, I'll tell you what
it was. Did you see what he did? No? I
saw Saizaki and someone else bowing down to him. I
didn't see what he did. What did he do after
the game? He cleaned up the dugout? He what he
cleaned up the dugout? He went through and started throwing
(43:01):
out water bottles and picking stuff up. He won the game,
a complete game in the World Series. Everybody wanted to
talk to him. Then he went through the dugout and
cleaned it up before he left. You know what that says?
Toronald didn't make me sweat. I thought you gonna say
he had very good parents that Tawny manners too too.
(43:24):
But he's like, hey, I'll try to get a sweat
in and if you guys didn't make me sweat. I
got to hit something else in before I go to bed.
He cleaned up the dugout. Good for him, and you'd,
come to think of it, it's responsible. After I saw
him do that, and then after the game he really
didn't look like he sweat at all. You're right now,
he really didn't.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
It was it was as effortlessly as I've seen a
pitcher throw a complete game.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
What do you have? Ended up with one hundred and
two hundred and five it was his number. I think
it was one hundred and five or something like that.
Dave Roberts said he could have got another forty pitchers. Yeah,
I mean after that first inning he was cruising. He
was cruising. He was making some guys look bad too.
That was the thing about it when they talk about
him got You know, he's got six different pitches, and
(44:08):
all of them if they're working, you don't know what's coming.
And then he can hit you with ninety eight on
the fastball and locate it. He is very very difficulty.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
A single walk, no walks, no four hits. The one
run that was a sack fly.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
No walks. Well, listen, the only guy that got on
baseil lot of hit was the guy he hit since
he didn't walk anybody? Yeah? Yeah, you think he gets
it again tonight?
Speaker 4 (44:35):
No, No, I don't think glassnow goes after him.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I hope so right he does. I think he got
the message. No, I don't think he gets it. I
know fans are gonna want him to he Maybe maybe
we should knock him down, just send another message. You
don't hit him, just knock him down and rush him back. Yeah,
rushing back, Get off the plate, little bit fellow. Let
(45:01):
him know you we're here. But again tonight, every time
he comes up, I hope the fans react appropriately. And
I hope every time Max Suzer throws one pitch people
lose their mind. Remember dead arm. Just start screaming dead arm. Yeah,
dead Arm. Let's start the chat. You can be the
one to start that chat for red dead arm, dead Arm.
Max sures are dead Arm. Let him hear it. Let
(45:23):
him know we don't forget here. We don't forget. Yeah.
People think everybody here is pretty calm and laid back,
and you know, you know how we are in La.
Speaker 4 (45:34):
Yeah, we just take everything in stride. We don't get
mad about anything. We just love the beach in the
sunshine for Red. That's all we do out here. We
have no killer instinct. I guess they'll find out tonight.
