  Speaker 1: See what happens in Game three. Now game two here
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: on the anniversary of Roy Halliday throwing a no hitter
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, his sons throwing to Carlos Ruiz chooch,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and we saw some great pitching in this one. Snell
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: On fire early Pedro.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was really impressed. I thought Otani pitch well,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: but man Blake snell is like in mid season form
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and knights them fresh, great, youthful the Dodgers.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Scary first inning for Lozardo and then he went crazy.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Get this. Tonight was just the second game in MLB
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: postseason history that boach starters allowed one hit or less
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: through six innings.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: That was kind of life.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: But it all changed and the seventh inning curtis like
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it always seems to with a Dodger, there's just.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: So many bats there, you know, one MVP after another MVP,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and you just give them opportunities. Eventually somebody's going.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: To get a hit.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: The thing is they strung those hits together in the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: seventh inning like they were able.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: To do tonight.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Lozardo's night would end with six innings pitched, five k's,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a broken bat for Key k scores Ti Oscar It
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: was the Hernandez brothers at.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: It yet again, Jero, you know that's one of those players. Look,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: it's a tough play. You're coming in. You know you
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: got to make the throw to get the guy. But
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: as a shortstop, you have to make that throw up
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: the line right, give the catcher a chance to catch
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: the ball and block him off the plate, at least
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: make a get tag without reaching back across.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It just feels wrong that Will Smith is doing damage
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: From West Philly.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Cuss, that's what I thought born and raised, But today
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: he knocks it through. It would then become four to zero.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: As the Dodgers were pouring it on. We came down
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: here at Curtis. We thought it was over, and then
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they brought us back in and it's not over to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it's over.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Get runners on cause a little pressure, anything could happen,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and we thought we might see it happen. As this
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: is getting now down to a one run league.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Castiganos called safe there on what many believe was questionable
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: base running, and then you could raise this question again.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Bryson Stott lays down the butt thrown out at third.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I see nothing row with that play. I mean you
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: might get mad, trying to play for the top. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: you're at home. You have to win a ball game.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Put yourself in a position. If we tied this game here,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: we can possibly go to extras.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And this heart was in our throats. The skit throw
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: there to Freeman, he digs it out, he gets the out,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers win both games in Philadelphia. The Dodgers
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: have now won nine in a row. That begin that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: top of the lineup for the Phillies, including Kyle Schwarber,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: who is now old for his last twenty one with
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: thirteen k's, they can't get it done. The comeback falls short,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and the Dodgers have been showing grit. Just ask Blake Snow,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what can you say about the grid of the team.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Just that pick by Freddy the bunt defense.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Will's playing with a broken hand.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's unbelievable. And then Montcy on the butnt
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah to go three as well. I mean, what a
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: wild inning. But to play here get two wins in
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: this environment special and the team's clicking right now. It's
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: a lot of fun.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: It was an impromptu play that I just told Mookie,
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: you know, you know, his start's gonna bunt he's a
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: good bunner, and so let's just run a wheel play.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Those guys executed it to perfection, and for me, that
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: was our only chance really to win that game in
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: that moment.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: I love the fight in the eighth and ninth inning.
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: They fought like hell and hopefully that carries over into Wednesday.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: But this is a resilient group. Our backs are against
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: the wall. You just got to come out fighting.
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it doesn't suck that we didn't get a winder, absolutely,
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: but now we have to go out there. We have
• 3:36
  Speaker 8: to focus on one game at the time. There's no
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: looking ahead, right and to make our fight back home
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: in Philly because we're going to be coming back to
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: some point and make it worse something.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: All Right, So we're out here because we're going to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: break down the bunt, which seemed like the pivotal moment
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in the game. But first we got to talk about
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Blake Snell held the first thirteen batters hit list. What
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: did you see from his stuff today?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I saw the typical Blake snail when he's healthy, when
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: when he's own and unfortunate for the Phillies, Uh, this
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is the guy that's very deceiving, has outstanding stuff was
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: mixing in his pitches, and I think he learned something
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: from Altani because I saw him take pretty much the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: same approach against some of the same.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Guys, attacking the strikes, lacking the strikes.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: On in certain areas. This is a good time for
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: vide on turner, a lot of change ups on shover,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: start him off inside, finish him late on the outside
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: part of the play. That's what Ottani was doing, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: with breaking stuff he was really executing today. A guy,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: like I said, over the top, really deceiving heart to
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: center and Philadelphia did not do a good job of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: putting the balls in play against a guy that's normally taught,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and then you strike out that many times, twenty four times.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I think it was that they struck out in the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: in the last two games.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: That's point.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Too many strikeouts. You can never overcome that against a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: good team like the Dodgers, and especially having guys like
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Blakesmail do what he did tonight.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Heading into that ninth inning, batters two through six for
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the Phillies. So this is Schwarber, Harper, boem Real, Muto,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and castianos Oer for fifteen with five k's. Now the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: ninth inning, they came alive. So let's check out tonight's
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: all heart moment presented by Thriving, because it's the one
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that everyone's been talking about. Philly started off going single
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: double double shows a butt, Jimmy, what are you seeing here?
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Well, what should happen is that on that first pitch?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: What is this play? Where the second? So the will
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: play means we're giving up second base, right, We're gonna
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: take our chance and get the out at their worst
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: case scenario, he's safe. We get the out at first gotcha.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: But as a base runner, you have to see what's
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: going on. Mookie isn't really holding him on. He's just
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: kind of standing right there behind him. And what I
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: didn't like about his lead is Castianos went straight out.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: You're always taught at second base. When you take your lead,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: you walk towards the shortstop. It looks like Movie's as right,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and you're almost at you see and at that position,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: he can feel Mookie, he can hear Muki. When Mooki moves,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: you move with him. But remember there's no force play.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: There's no force player at thirst gotta tag you. He
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: has to tag you at third. So they're giving up
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: second base. That means I can get as far as
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I can because no one's going to be at second base.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: I can always get back. He didn't do that. He
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: was just kind of sitting there, almost like there was
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: no game plans like what to do If I can
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: If I can read this bunt and it's and it's short,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I can always get. I mean, and it's short, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I can get there. I can get. If not, I
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: can go back. I can dictate a lot of things
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: as a runner if I take this lead. As I'm
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: coming back, Curtis are he sold me on? Okay? Perfect?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: The bag is here. They can't pick me off. Third
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: base coach is watching the second baseman. I have my
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: eyes on him because he's probably already away from me
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: because he has to get the first. So I'm going
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to walk back, and I want to see exactly where
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Curtis is. If there's a pick two things, he's gonna
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: have to go around me, and I can just cut
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: him off right here because if he bumps me, if
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: he bumps me, I get the advance a third. But also,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: as a play goes on, if I'm here, I'm standing here,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not worried. About the pick a second. As Mooki
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: is hitting there and the pitcher list's leg I can
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: see the ball in the strike zone. I have to
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: anticipate he's going to bunt that pitch, and with no
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: one at second base, I can get down as far
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: as I can. The catcher is not going to run
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: back and try to get me a second base. So
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: as Mookie starts to take off and he goes, I'm
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: going right there with him as fast as I can,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: as far as I can, because I do want to
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: get the third. But if I see that Mooki's four
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: or five steps ahead of me, I can hit on
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: the brakes hurt. They're going to Yale third, because that's
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: what it looks like I'm doing. Yes, I can go
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: back the second. Now he's runners on first and second
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and nobody out. But the most important thing for those
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: out there base when you're on second base, find the shortstop.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Your third base coach is gonna take the second basement.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: We're not worried about to pick. They showed us on
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the first pitch what exactly they're doing. They're crashing. Find
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: the shortstop, get in his face. I want to feel
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: you what's going on? Curtis you good, okay. The only
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: way he can pick me is by running through me.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: If he runs through me, I get a free advance.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: But that way, like I said, I want to feel
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: you deep as deep as you want to. You can
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: take a deep You could take a lead to center
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: field if you like now you get get picked off.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: But you can't do that. They tell you to come deep,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: get right next to me. And as a shortstop if
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: we if we were reversed, if you do that, I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: gonna play with you. I'm gonna mess with it. You
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: come back towards me, just to get you thinking I
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: might go there because I have to beat you here.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: And if you're and if you're deep, you're changing my
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: angle to third. I can't run straight across the deeper
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: you get. Either have to try to get you to
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: come back, or I'm gonna have to stay screening. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: as a third basement, if you see the runner coming
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: along with me and I'm looking like this, guess what.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: You're not making that throw. You are not making that throw.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of things you could have done.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are questioning Rob Thompson right now
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: in terms of bunting at all. What I guys that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you guys are still with the decision to bunt.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Dave Roberts said, we knew he was bunting. That's why
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: they called the play.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: The reason they knew.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: He was bunting is because you have stopped facing a lefty.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: He's zero for five against him. His ops against lefties
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: on the season is that high.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: It's like six hundred.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I think you need to get the runner to third base.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: You need to get him ninety with no outs.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And then you can put yourself. So you're saying it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: less about the decision to bunt and more of the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: reading of the base. Running hundred percent, you can always
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: go to the secondary and it could be second.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I can get, I can get as far as I
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: can if I see the throw is going to beat
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: me because he was out by good ways. But at
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: some point one I see the ball in his own,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I'm anticipated he was taking his lead. The ball was
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: coming in his own and he was breaking down to
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: read if the bunt was going to get down. There's
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: no reason to because there's no one a second. Even
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: if he pops it up. Guess what, so everybody, no
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: one's going to be a second. Everybody's going to be
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: in here trying to catch the ball. Right, there's nothing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: He took a normal lead, just like the normal you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the normal lead. Just here. I am just chilling. Okay.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: He comes to bunt and he kind of gets there
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: and does normally stuff. Not any effort really really true,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: great effort to get the third easy. And if even
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: if you're just gonna take let's just say you just
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: take a normally without going deep. But you always should.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: As soon as he breaks, knowing no one's there, run
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: as far down as you can. If it gets back stop,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: no one's at second base, you can walk to second base.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It's everything you're talking about right now. Is base running
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: game plan?
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And that was also because you were a great base
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: runner and you stole a ton of bases. Nick kind
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of looked like someone that hasn't had a game plan
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: when it runs the basis like and that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: It didn't look like he had a game plan off them. Yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: and that that was big. You can always go back,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: there's no force. You can go back.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You can always have gone back to second
