• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Showtime one a night.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: This is since nineteen hundred. Okay, first starting pitcher hit
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: leadoff home run in regular or postseason, first starting pitcher
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: to multiple home runs in a postseason game, and a
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: first starting pitcher with three home runs and ten strikeouts
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: in the same game. Let me add a little bit
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of context. But first let's go to this first inning.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you could be more impactful in
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a single inning, Pedro. He goes out there on the mound.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: How's he going to pitch? We don't know, strikes out
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the side and boy was a feuding.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Well I told you the other day that every game
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: has a different DNA and every game could be different. Well,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: there you have it. You have a guy that has
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: them pitch in thirteen days, goes out there, rights out
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the side, and then he comes over like probably two
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: minutes after and hit the homer. And then only that
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: he didn't stuck there. He ended up with three ding
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: dunk junks and ten ks. I mean, I'm glad I'm
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: alive to witness what I'm witnessing, not only from this
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: theme but from Joe Haltani, whom my end up about
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the monk unique individual that ever slept being a baseball field.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: All right, they're getting ready to get it popping, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we will have full coverage of that as well. Bob
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Gibson was the only pitcher to ever strike out ten
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and hit a home run. He did in the World
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Series in sixty seven and sixty eight. He did not
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: hit multiple home runs. Show, Hey, did ten k's and
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: three home runs? There's a million stats? How about this?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Tonight was Otani's second career multiple home run game while pitching.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Babe Ruth did it once. I mean, we're talking Bob Gibson.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: We're talking Babe Ruth and now show Hey, O Tom.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: You know it's crazy you hear these dats a baby
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Beef and Bob Gibson way back when.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: But as you move into.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty, twenty twenty five, twenty fifty m beyond, you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: always dit like, did it really happen?
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Right? But here you get a chance to see it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and you've got a chance to watch it and experience
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: the crowd and the reaction. We're in the green room
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: and we felt the base from the speakers, so we
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: knew something big was about to happen, but we didn't
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: think it was gonna be like this out of the stadium,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: and everyone's gonna have something to talk about because they've
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: witnessed it, and you'll be able to play it back
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: on repeat the show up.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers will put a plaque where that ball hit
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: four hundred and sixty nine feet that second home run.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: O'tani hit over thirteen hundred feet. Of home runs tonight,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Jimmy rollins, each of them as impressive as the lives.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: That's a lot of home runs. And you know, you
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: guys have brought us some great points. Pedro talked about DNA.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: I don't think he has DNA. I think we found
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: him on another planet and we injected in with some
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: alien juice and they put him in a form of
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: a human named shoey Otani. And there were guys that
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: have changed the game. And we hear about another sports
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: Jordan Lebron, Wilt chamber Chamberlain, Bob Gibson, what happened he
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: was so good at the Lower the Mound.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Show.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Hey, he has his own rule. You can pitch and
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: be a and b a DH that way, when you're
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: done pitching, we still want you win a game. That's
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: how specially is you're talking about thirteen hundred feet of
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: home runs. Man, only one guy can do that. Actually
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: two guys. One of them isn't playing that. Other guys
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: already already fishing somewhere. But the guy that we're watching
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: now and what we're seeing is special. So I hope
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: that everybody out there is really taking us in because
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: this is a generational player. You say, these guys come
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: around once in a lifetime. I'm glad he's hearing our lifetime.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Can we take another look at the four hundred and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: sixty nine foot ding Dom Johnson, because that one I
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: felt like the stadium was shaking to his core of pedro.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Well, this is in drastic I always expect him to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: hit homers, but to hit that kind of distance, it's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: like through another level when you watch him. And we
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: were dunking in the pre game about facing on Towne
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and you know the amount of pitch of the eye.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He has one hundred for.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You too, he ain fos. We were arguing over that,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: but we never we never thought that what was gonna
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: witness a homer at that distance. So Totana is like
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: taking everything he does to to to the next level
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and beyond. It's like Otani's hanging the standards so high
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that most of us are gonna have to take a
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: plane to get there. So I don't have enough words
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to describe how impressed I am with the way Otani
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: has handled not only in the field, but up the field.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: His physical body to actually be able to do those
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: things that he's doing is impressive. I would love to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: sneak in and see his routine.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Just to watch.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, it doesn't come across my mind how
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: this guy probably prepared to do all these things that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: he doesn't highlight.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: To see your former teammate leading this group of guys, Dave.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Roberts, I'm full of pride and I'm and I'm I'm
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: so grateful for him, and I'm so happy to see
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: him do this. If they're there's someone that could probably
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: tell you I don't want to give anybody any lead
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: or anything in this game is Dave Roberts. Because he
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: became part of history and he made us champions. To
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: all of us after eighty six years waiting in Boston,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers are.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: The first team since the Phillies and nine to win
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a World Series and make it back. We have not
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: had back to back champions in this sport in twenty
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: five years, the longest of the four major sports. You
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: know how tough it is. You got back to that
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: mountain top you fought against the Yankees to win. They're
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: in this situation now. What is in store for them,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: whether it is the Mariners or the Bluechers.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I think they have a pretty good chance. I mean,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: this team is so good on all levels where their
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: pitching is going right now. But when you get there,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: you're not thinking about honestly winning back to back because
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: you have to win game one and then game two,
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: and a third, then a fourth. That's all you're really
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: thinking about. And then when it's over, either you got
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: the job done or you didn't. They're very prepared. We
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: talked about it, I think yesterday, how they are the
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: best team. They know they're the best. They have the
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: expectations of being the best. They seem to gloat with that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: like we want to show you that we're the best
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: right now, But we want you to talk about us
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: when we talk about the greats this run that we're on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: When you mentioned the Yankees of the early nineteen hundreds
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: and all those other generational teams and other sports, you
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: have to talk about the Los Angeles Dodgers and what
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: they're doing right now with this squad with show had
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: the best player, and not only that, everybody else chips in.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: It's not like they just ride them off to the sunset.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Everybody does something and when you're getting that, it makes
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: your better players great.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And it's amazing to watch that this team had. We
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: had Kershaw up here talking about the pitching, the bullpen
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and this rotation. One of the things that's always a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: worry when you win this early, you're gonna have some
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: time off and it could possibly cool the bats, even
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: if it does. That pitching staff and that rotation, that's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: one of the things that typically doesn't calm down. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: when you can run four arms out there the way
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: that they can do multiple times, and they even mentioning
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that Otani could come out of relief if this series
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: would have extended, or definitely expect him to do that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: in the World Series. I mean, they have weapons of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: ton weapons upon weapons and remember offensively, they really hadn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: clicked much of this series until tonight, and tonight the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: top three of the lineup got the top four of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the lineup got it going. Prior to that it was
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the bottom four or five of the line. So even
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: if the offense gets a little cool, like you can
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: sometimes see with a lot of time off those arms
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: are gonna step up in a big way.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Otani came into this game batting two for eleven in
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the series. Pitching wise, the starters a point six y
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: three for the series, fourth lowest in any series since
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: er became an official stat in nineteen twelve. I also
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: want to say this, Otani took batting practice, and since
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: then he had a triple in his first of bat
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: He did this today and he was hitting home runs
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: out of the park the same area. I'm wondering if
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the visualization played a key, But I just want you guys.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You guys are all some of the best teammates in leagues.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: This is the batting practice. Could this have woken this man?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Is this maybe the key to what we saw? Sure?
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: For sure we talked about you know how much he
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: hits in a cage. He doesn't go out there, and
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: I think that's part of his preservation. He can't go
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: out there and exert himself every day. He has to
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: keep something in the tank because he does. He does
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: both sides but when you go out there and you
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: see in the ball, leave the ball apart and not
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: just hit the top of a cage, like okay, that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: what it feels like when I pull the ball. This
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: is what it feels like when I go alpho. This
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: is what it feels like in a cage. That may
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: feel good. You come out here and it's just a
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: fly ball to the Warner track. Seeing the ball go
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: out the yard not only builds your confidence, but it
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: gives you something to feel. When you hit the ball,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: there's something that happens in your body or then they
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: wakes up as like oh here we go. And I
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: said it this last series. Sometimes it takes one swing
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: and it doesn't have to be a hit. It can
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: be a foul ball and everything lines up. And we
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: saw it line up pretty well these last two nights.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Kershaw's shirt is off, all right, it's barely wear it pants.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: And nobody more deserving than than taking Kershaw. But it's
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it's intriguing to me. As we were watching how Otani
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: evolved into his game today, it was it was like a.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Pretty sneaky routine.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: We didn't get to see so much more of his routine,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: but it seemed to be working exactly how he executed today,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: and and and it's really it's really nice to see
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: that he was able to kind of block the bad
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: moments that he was having and and put a road
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: together within three days to actually come over today and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: just grab the MVP, you know, pretty much single handedly
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: win the game by himself. It is amazing. That's why
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's so intriguing to see how a Tani
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: prepares because everything he did seemed to come into play today,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: including that he didn't be pee outside. He never asked
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: for that and he did it, so he probably knows
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: himself even better than that people.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I think what's pretty special too is he's on the
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: podium with Shahti. This is about my team. He gets
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: up there, we're watching him celebrate. In the locker room,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: he's the one going up to other guys and pouring
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the beers over their head. He never seems like he's
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: too big for the game, even though he is the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: biggest in the game.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Well, he definitely wanted to make sure everybody has some
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: saki too, you know, you got to make sure everybody's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: joining that. But Muki said something amazing yesterday. Our Michael
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Jordan has not been going, and the fact that everybody
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: on their team look at him that way. Everybody in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the stadium looks at him that way. You walk throughout
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the concourse, it's oh, Tani jersey after o Tani jersey
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: after Otani jersey. And to be able to put all
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that aside when everyone's wanting you to get a big
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: hit and you're starting to get through a little bit
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of a slump, you figure something out and the next
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: thing you know, you get it going on the biggest
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: stage to send your team to the World Series. He's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: do two shots of saki tonight to celebrate.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Uh, we thought it was two. He's gonna have to
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: do three. Oh that's right, you got Oh you're leaving
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: me out, No, just show he taking four.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay, we'll do the three. Guess we got for
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: you brother?
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I remember Tony said everybody should have a good packing. Yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the good more sacking, more
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Happy Dodgers nine and one this postseason, twenty four and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: six in their last thirty
