Brewers bite first in NLCS G1 | Dodgers Territory Postgame Reaction · Foul Territory

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Hello, everybody, and welcome to a live post-game edition after
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: game one of the NLCS.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Alana Rizzo, Clint Pasillas with you.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Katie Wu, of course, is about to make her way
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: into the visiting clubhouse at American Family Field. The Dodgers
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: lose game one to the Milwaukee Brewers. Clint, we knew
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: this was not going to be an easy win. You thought, though,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: that if you could get past Jacob Mizorowski, which the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Dodgers did a good job of getting him out of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the game relatively.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Early, that you could get past him.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: That you might really have a shot, especially on the road.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: What's your, what's your one big takeaway from this one
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: so far?
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. The Dodgers into the game with a seven game
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: post-season winning streak against the Milwaukee Brewers. That is now
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: snapped because it says it right there on the screen.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: The offense could capitalize on nothing today. And I'm not,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not giving a lot of that to Jacob Mizorowski.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: You know, credit where credit was due. He was able
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: to lock in in some moments when he needed to.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the Dodgers also couldn't capitalize. They, the, Too
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: many double plays, too many guys, well, I guess not
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: enough guys left on base by virtue of the double
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: plays there. But yeah, you know, if you're looking for
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: a silver lining, you made him work. You also got
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of visuals on there, guys. 85 pitches through
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: four innings. He exits after four and a third over
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: the course of the season through 100 pitches just three
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: different times. Last time it happened was in July, so
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: you knew you weren't going to get him very deep
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: into the game unless he was super economical, but that's
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: not necessarily his game. Did not have the slider going,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: but yeah, you know, not outside of that ninth inning.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: There were some inning building and all that kind of
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: stuff that happened early in the game, but the ninth
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: inning I think was, it gives you a little bit
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: of something, question mark, to kind of hang your hat on.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: You know, we see a DePaula at bat, and of course, ho-hum,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: it's another walk. Tucker with a walk there off Trevor McGill.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: A little bit of an effort against the closer there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: But yeah, too many missed opportunities for me.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: A lot of missed opportunities.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You know, and it was funny because at the beginning
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of the game, it was almost like the script had reversed.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It was like the Dodgers were trying to just get
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: guys on, move guys over, use the whole field, go
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the other way, a little bit of more small ball,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: which is a page out of Milwaukee's book. And then
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you have, of course, a home run from Bryce Terang.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: which is a page out of the Dodgers book. So
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: early on in the game, it was a little bit flipped,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's just somebody in our chat said that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers offense is on a milk carton because that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: means it's missing.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Offense, offense is the problem. Again, says Jason diamond Oh three.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: And it's funny.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Do you remember Tim Federovich, the, uh, the catcher for
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers for a hot second. And he, I think
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: he's probably, I think he was also with Milwaukee too.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: He was journey journeyman backup catcher. He said the Dodgers
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: have an Otani problem. He just said that on X
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a couple of hours ago. And I am concerned about Otani.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I really am.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've gotten to the point now. And again,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just Otani today, uh, up and down the lineup.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They just didn't really get anything going. Um, but, Otani
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: just looks lost at the plate one for three. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: give him that though. He did have the walk, so
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I can appreciate that, but he just doesn't, he's not
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the offensive threat that he was before he got hurt.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's really been this way for the second
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: half of the season. Middle of August is the last
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: time Otani's had a home run. I mean, that's a scary,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that's a scary thought to think here we are October
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: 11th and he hasn't had a home run since the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: middle of August.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Um, so that is problematic.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Uh, when you take that threat out of the lineup, uh,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: that takes a huge piece of your offense away. Uh,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and especially when nobody else is hitting either. So this
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: wasn't about pitching today. The Dodgers pitching staff did exactly
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: what they needed to do. Um, you know, again, you're,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you mentioned it too, having three double plays, uh, hitting
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: into three double plays, you know, they led major league
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: baseball during the regular season. And as far as hitting
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: into double plays. So, That kind of carried over into
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: the NLCS, and that's not going to get the job done.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's every bit of how they got here, I guess.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Too many double plays, some of the missed opportunities. It
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: feels like at times they rely a little too much
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: on the two-out offense, on something to kind of spark them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: In this game in particular, you saw them starting to
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: try to stack some innings. uh with probably already like
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: one out in the inning and all that kind of
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: stuff uh going back to the show hey yeah i
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: mean show hey again is you need more out of
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: show hey definitely not the problem i need to see
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: more out of william dill smith entered this series one
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: for 16 in the postseason um he i thought what
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: didn't he hit into the first double play uh no
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: one of the double plays he hit into I forget
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: which one.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I think it was the second one. I think it
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: was the second one.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: But these guys are coming up. Him, Shohei coming up
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: with runners on. Andy Pa has had an opportunity as well.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: The Kike one, that was the one that happened first.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: That one was really painful. And I will say, love
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: me some Kike. Love me some postseason Kike. This game,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to me, felt a little forced. I understand Dave wanted
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: to try to ride the Kike hand. I wouldn't necessarily
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: say it was the hot hand. I'm not going to
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: say it was a cold hand either, but I don't know.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: That one felt forced in this game. I think I
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: would have liked maybe, I don't know if I would
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: have liked the compete or the at-bats or the whatever
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: more out of Tommy Edmond at second base, but 105, Kike,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Also, did not. He was not the
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: guy who lost this game for this team either, and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: he might be in there tomorrow. It might be Tommy
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Edmond tomorrow, but that was one of those things I flagged.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Really early, I mentioned to some people, you know, in
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: a message, I'm like, yeah, I love Kike, but I
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: didn't like him in this game so much.
• 6:08

  Speaker 6: about them. Please support our show and let them know
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: we sent you.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not certain if he was forcing the issue
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: or not. Maybe I don't know the numbers, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: of Kike going up against Mizorowski, Edmund going up against Mizorowski.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Some people in the chat were questioning why they let
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Josue de Paula.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Pinch hit for Kike in that situation.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: But, I mean, you like the fact that he drew
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a walk, you know, just get guys on bait, force
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the issue against McGill there to make the closer play.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Shaking his cleats a little bit.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You know, you give up two walks to Kyle Tucker
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and then, of course, to DePaula, and you're hoping that
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Mookie can do something there.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: And he just, you know, he gave it a ride.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: It just wasn't a long enough ride, obviously, flying out
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to center field there. So this one was just kind
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: of like a blah. It was just a blah game. And, again,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I said this earlier, and we were talking to Ken
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Rosenthal about it, too, on Fair Territory. You know, it's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like if you– If you are able to get Jacob
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Mizorowski out of the game early, which the Dodgers did,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: or if you were able to win a game in
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: which Jacob Mizorowski is on the hill to start, then
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: does the rest of their entourage, if you will, crumble?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And you can't really look ahead because Henderson is nothing
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to sneeze at, right?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, you're fortunate because you.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Have Yamamoto going up against him. to oppose him, but
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: he's not, and now they feel good about themselves, right?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: He's nothing, he's a very good pitcher as well, so
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: you have to, have to, have to get game two,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: because you do not want to, wow, this guy's really angry.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Go back to Madison, Wisconsin, apparently I'm a traitor, because...
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I lived in Wisconsin for three years and worked at CBS.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: He has very foul language as well. Yamamoto. Yamamoto 112.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Well, that guy could fuck all the way off. He's
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: been kicked out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: All the way.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: So, you know, this was just a bad game. It
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: was just kind of a ho-hum, ho-hum game. Nobody did
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: anything horribly. The double plays killed us. There was just
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: no offense and started pitching.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wouldn't– I mean– I don't disagree with the
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: idea of a bad game. Maybe bad game is a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: half step too far. Definitely, like we were saying before
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: going live, it was meh, it was blah, it was bleh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: whatever letter you would like to mix in there. You
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: could argue it was bad based on the Dodgers' efforts offensively,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: but take into consideration, they saw, and this is part
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: of the silver lining, they saw every one of their aces,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: every one of their best arms, both in the Miz
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: and in the bullpen with McGill, with Abner Uribe. Aaron
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Ashby threw a lot of pitches in there. D.L. Hall
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: is kind of the other guy who's just like one
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: tier below that Pat Murphy has kind of turned to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: a lot as the season has trudged on in this postseason.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: So if you are looking for something, Pa, again, not
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: that people are going to be like, oh, we made
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: him throw a lot of pitches, and that's what you
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: can hang your hat on. But you can kind of
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: hang your hat on the fact that You made it
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: work and you got looks.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: It might be something that is going to be a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: factor in a seven game series. You know, when you're,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: when you're going to need, if you can knock their
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: starters out of the game early and you need more
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: of a bullpen game from these guys, that could be
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: a factor moving forward. So, I mean, yeah, if you're
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: looking for silver linings, the fact that they had to
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: throw a million pitches, that's helpful. If you're looking for
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: something positive, that perhaps is a good thing. Let me
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: ask you this. There's a question posed in the chat,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and it's a good one. Do you continue to hit
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: William Dill Smith third?
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I'm going to search that so we can pop it
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: on the screen because it is one of also the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: big questions that I flagged. I guess I don't need
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: it because you already asked it. It's a conversation. It's
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: a conversation this team needs to have because, again, it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: not a very good postseason. We are now, what, one
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: for quick math, one for 19 on the postseason. Did
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: earn a walk today, but he gave one kind of
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: a ride. I guess if you're looking to have your
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: center fielder shag some fly balls just to get some routes,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: it was a good play or a good hit, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: not so much for trying to put points on the board.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I think the conversation needs to be who's going to
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: give you the best at bat out of that, that
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: number three spot, especially if it's going to continue to
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: be Mookie leading off and then a lefty and Freddie,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I would not move Freddie at all. So do you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: do you plug Tao in there? Do you consider moving
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: another lefty up? Kyle Tucker is given this team really
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: good at bats. That is something that is worth noting,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: but also do you want to take that away from
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: lower in the lineup? So it is a tough conversation.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: You know, Tao, a couple of knocks today, one really,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: really good swing in that, I think it was that
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: second inning or the third inning, whenever it was, second inning,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: when they loaded the bases and couldn't do anything with it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, maybe flipping those, but Will definitely needs to
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: be moved down right now. And I don't know that
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: game is speeding up for him, but just to let
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: it slow down a little bit and hopefully find him
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: a little bit less.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. Again, and I've said
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: this before, and I will continue to say this. His
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: biggest job, his biggest responsibility is managing the pitching staff
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and calling the right pitches.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I was going to say putting the fingers down, but
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: we don't do that anymore.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: But, you know, you would like to get some offense
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: from a guy that you're accustomed to getting offense from, right?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Especially in the postseason.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Especially in the postseason, and that just hasn't been there
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: for Will, for Otani. I mean, I think Otani's hurt
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: more than he's letting on, or more than we know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: because his mechanics are all over the place, and he
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: just doesn't look good right now.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, hey, 105 miles an hour is probably pretty
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: tough to hit.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I get it. I get it. But he hasn't been right.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, he did in– In the NLDS, the last
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: game of the NLDS, he did look better. Dave Roberts
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: said that he liked the patience at the plate, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: he did look better. But by and large, to me,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't seem like a threat right now.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Like, Otani, you're figuring. I mean, two years ago, he
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: was 50-50. You know what I mean? Like, he's just
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: not that guy.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: He's not that guy.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: He's not that guy right now. I'm not saying Shohei
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: can't get back to that guy. I'm just saying he's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: not that guy at the moment when we need him
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the most.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Uh no absolutely and and i said this uh yesterday
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: in like a keys of the series where you know
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: i i don't know i like to give here on
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: the internet and make sure people don't think that i'm
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: just going to be out here full dodger homer hat
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: on i don't even wear a dodger hat i wear
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: my own podcast merch here check it out um we
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: can only get it from one dodger territory shop.com but
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: anyways Uh, I did want to make sure people understand
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: that the Brewers are a team that can beat the Dodgers.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: They a hundred percent can. They are very good team.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: They were good throughout the regular season. They got better, uh,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: from last season. What you and I and Katie also
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: talked about on Thursday, they are a better club. They
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: have better pitching and we always knew this was going
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: to be a longer series. Um, I'm going to throw
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: this chat up from Pibbles 9 because I feel like
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: we are kind of leaning more negative. It's one game.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: To borrow from my buddy Jeff Snyder, something that pisses
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: everybody off, it's just one game. Not that he would
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: say that in the postseason, but Pibbles is saying, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: don't know, I feel good still. I like they made
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Mizorowski throw a lot of pitches. I like the at-bats.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: They got some hits. It was a one-run game. It's
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: a seven-game series. It's not over yet.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. I agree with Pimples nine. Absolutely.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I still think the Dodgers when I, I personally think
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers went in six, I've always thought the Dodgers
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: were going to win in six, but this is not
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: a team that's just going to bend over in the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers. This is a very good team. And I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: think the whole narrative that this is David versus Goliath
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: is overplayed because last year you could, you could perhaps
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: say that, but this is a very good team that
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: we've been talking about. They won 103 games in the
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: regular season. You guys, they have Obviously, they have home
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: field advantage throughout. The Dodgers, I think they were what?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: They beat the Dodgers 4-3 in the season series, I believe,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: over the course of the 2026 regular season. This is
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a very good team, and they play baseball a very
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: opposite way that the Dodgers do, but they're very good
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: with the personnel that they have, getting results from the
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: type of lineup construction that they have and the personnel
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that their front office puts together. For a small market club,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: they do things differently.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: The right way.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And they're very well managed. Pat Murphy is a very
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: good coach back to back. I want to say he's
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: back to back nationally manager of the year. So this
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: is a club that knows what they're doing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: They pay attention.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: And unlike the New York Yankees, unlike some of the
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: other clubs, um, the Red Sox, the big, big market
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: clubs that don't play fundamentally sound baseball, and it has
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: hurt them in the, in the areas in which it
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: matters the most, um, the Brewers will catch the ball
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and they will defend. So they may not slug you
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to death, but they will play the game the right way.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: They do not make mental errors.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: No, no, definitely not. Not under Pat Murphy's watch. And
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: we saw something earlier this season where they ended up
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: benching the rookie Cooper Pratt for not running out of
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: ground ball. It doesn't matter if you are a veteran,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: if you are a very highly regarded rookie. they are
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: going to make sure you're playing the game the right way.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: And this is where Dave and Murph have such, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: like they get along, they mesh so well and, you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: have worked together in the past when neither of them
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: were picked for that Padres job. You know, like this
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: is what they do. They make sure their ball clubs
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: are equipped to win.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The 2026 MLB playoffs are here. And guess what? Seat
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Geek has you covered. Let's go. If you're looking to

• 17:05
  Speaker 1: There's some big teams going. Kratzy, tell us about it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: I'm definitely going to a Brewers game.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: There's no bad seats in Milwaukee because the stadium is
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: right on top of the field.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: It feels like You're in the grass. And you know what?

• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Before we continue on, Or as we continue on. We've
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: talked about all the other things. Let's talk a little
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: more about the Scooble side of things.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: He pitched great. He pitched really well.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: He dominated and he just looked so locked in. I mean,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it was just like he didn't seem like anything faced
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: him at all. I mean, you can see the pitch
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: mix there. Obviously, that four-seam fastball was working really, really well.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: He has had tremendous postseason outings. All three of his,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I guess now four, postseason outings in his career have
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: been really, really good.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: He's been tremendous.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, five innings, giving up the five hits, but
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: he didn't, you know, You'll give him.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: The home run.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: That's a solo shot. Usually solo shots don't kill you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, this was a tight game, right?
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Two to one.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You'll take that. That's what you expect in the postseason.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I thought Tarek Skubal pitched really well. You tip your
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: cap to Bryce Terang. Tarek Skubal absolutely did his job tonight.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: You think if your starting pitcher only gives up two
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: earned runs, you expect to win the ballgame. It was
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: just that he was opposed on the other side of
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: probably the NL Cy Young award winner.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So it's like, well, I mean,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: that's what you want. It's usually ace against ace.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And the beauty is tomorrow we have another ace is
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: equally good as Tarek Scoble, maybe if not better, who
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: happened to be the world series MVP last year. So
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: that's where, that's where I think the, the difference is
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: going to be made in the fact that look at
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: our starting staff compared to theirs, compared to anybody's honestly.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: As, as good, as much credit as we, we, um,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I'll say that Logan Henderson deserves had a fantastic year.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: He is a rookie and, um, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: postseason dog. He is a World Series MVP. He is
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: a two-time World Series champion, all this kind of stuff.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: The moment does not faze him. Maybe the game can
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: get a little quick on somebody like Henderson. I think
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: him pitching at home probably helps him out a whole lot.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Yamamoto pitching well on the road helps him out a
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: whole lot, and it's going to be a battle, but
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: it's still going to come down to the same thing
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: that it was going to come down to. entering this
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: game today. If they, if you get a hit, they
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: give you a walk. If you find a way to
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: get on via an error, you need to capitalize. You
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: need to put, you know, I don't care if it's
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: even a white picket fence with one, one, one, one,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: you need to score on the innings where you have opportunities.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: If there's bases loaded, And two, sorry, fewer than two outs. Cough, cough, Kike.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: That run's got to come home. I don't care. You
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: need to be selling out to hit a fly ball.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of what I was thinking, too, with
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Mookie there. It's like you just need a single, man.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: It's like I understand. It's easier for us to sit here.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I couldn't even make contact.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Baseball is hard.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Get a ball out of the infield. I get it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: But it's like right there in that situation, you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you just get a single. You know, get Kyle Tucker
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: in from second at that point.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, it is what it is. It is
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: what it is.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but to wrap up the Schuble stuff, and then
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: we'll look ahead to tomorrow, and then we'll hang out
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: with some chats before signing off. Perfectly good. That's what
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: you pay him for. Definitely could have gone longer. I think, what,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: 81 pitches through the five innings? But at that moment,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: there was no reason to give Milwaukee another look, especially
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: when you have a rested bullpen and you have a
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: day off on Tuesday. Zero reason because he is going
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: to factor in heavily still in the series, whether it's
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: game five or six.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, I think he's your game
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: five starter right now. So yeah, you're right. You've got
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: to play this in the long haul. And again, he
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: gave up two earned runs. He absolutely did his job.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: You'd think that you can.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Scratch and claw a couple of runs against a very
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: formidable bullpen.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: But, you know, at a certain point, one of our
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: one of our stars has to be a star in
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: this series.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers were one for six with runners
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: in scoring position. So far, they're two for twenty two
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: in the postseason. That's not going to get it done.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: So they're getting guys on. They're just not bringing guys in.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: At some point, it needs to be one of these superstars.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and perennial all-stars and MVPs and those types of things,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: one of those guys has to come up with that
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: clutch hit in a key situation. And I do believe
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: that will happen. It just has not happened so far
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: in the NLCS.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: So far, the lone clutch hit or the most clutch
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: hit has been Andy Pahez, which is last time I
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: checked how much he makes per year. It starts with
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: a seven and not a I guess Shohei kind of
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: a 70.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: He is an all-star, but he's not the first person
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: you think of when you think of offensive juggernaut for
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: There are fewer zeros is what I was trying to
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: say on his paycheck. Quick shout also for the bullpen.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Vessia works around the leadoff walk, faces the minimum, two
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: punches in there. Evan Phillips has been fantastic over the
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: last month and a half, two months, whatever it is,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: and the postseason as well. Pitches the seventh. three punches
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: in there and tanner scott with the scoreless eighth it
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: wasn't pretty but it's scoreless and that's the most important
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: part he was able he was able to keep it
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: right there keep it close uh what do we say
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: let's look ahead at tomorrow's game game two with our
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: friends at fox one we got a good one we
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: already talked about it yamamoto henderson um dodgers need to
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: win this game Yeah, they do.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: They absolutely do. They need to win game two. So you're,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: then you're, then you're starting over again. Right. And again,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: seven game series, anything can happen, but you don't want to,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, yes, of course you'd love to come back.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Two, three, two. So yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you lose, if you lose game two,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: at least you get to come home, but that's not
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: what you want.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: If you, if you figure, if you can split on
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the road and again, I don't think you hold, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: don't think you hang your hat. Uh, if you lose
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: to Jacob Mizorowski, you know what I mean? Like you
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: hope that you, if you, you feel lucky, I guess
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: if you say, Hey man, we beat their ACE and now,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: We take game one.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: You always want game one.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: But if you can at least split on the road,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you pretty much love your chances coming back home, even
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: if it has to go back to Milwaukee. You take
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: two of three at home. You go back to Milwaukee.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: You win game two. You take two of three at home.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: You're going back with the lead. So I'll take it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I will call it a must win as well
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: because you feel a lot better heading to L.A.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: 1-1.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Then down 0-2. And you got to beat that. You
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: got to beat them when you got Yama on the bumps.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: So I feel real good about this. I feel real
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: good about the series. If you guys saw the little
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: basketball corgi that whatever he gets paid, it's not enough.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: He said the Dodgers were going to lose game one
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: either way. So he's going to be great. I forgot
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: how he said.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That corgi, man.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Have you ever been on that page, by the way?
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: That dog is– I've seen it. That dog puts in work.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I've seen it, yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I hope they got a little doggy masseuse for his
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: hind legs there. Always having to.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Do the jump.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Did you see the corgi race where the corgi looked back?
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: It was diabolical. I did not.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: It was at a football game, and he was running.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: He was running against other corgis. But he was so
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: far ahead. He's like the Flash, the Freeze, the Freeze
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Gotcha.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: He just looked back, and it was just diabolical. He
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: was so far ahead of everybody.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: For more Corgi content, make sure you guys are subscribed.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: to all Dodgers. And then Riz, why don't you tell
• 25:16

  Speaker 4: kind enough to support us with their hard-earned cheddar. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: got a super chat here, 999MHDodgerLife. It says, we got
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: beat by the Homer ball, small ball. Offense, terrible. Milwaukee
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: backed up their ace, and we didn't do anything for Schuble. Hopefully,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: this is the most concerning game loss. Too many concerns. Otani, offense, Smith, yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: We agree. They didn't find a homer. This is where
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: you do worry about being so homer-reliant as an offense. But, again,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: hopefully this is one of those games that with seeing
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: their performance relievers they're ace relievers so many times like
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: you put in work today that could pay dividends in
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: games three four five six i'm not going to do six.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Seven yeah it wasn't a blow up it's not like
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: they lost ten to three you you can understand a
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: two to one game when you have mizorowski on the hill.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Although they did have opportunities to get.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: To him and they didn't and i think that's the
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: concerning part you can't leave guys on base again one
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: for six with runners in scoring position that's not going
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: to get the job done.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I think if they would have won this game, they
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: would have felt like, hey, we kind.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Of stole one here, right? An opportunity with Yama on
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the hill. You could have gone up 2-0 going back
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: to LA. That would have felt pretty great. But in
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: my opinion, you have to win tomorrow.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Great point. Great point. We got another– we got 499 here,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: 21 Eric LA. I honestly feel they took better swings
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: and had a more patient time at the plate when
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Miz was in the game. Once he was out, they looked–
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: it looked bad. I think they probably– Probably the game plan,
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: the messaging was, let's get him out early and attack
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: their relievers. Didn't work today.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, they have a good, but they do
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: have a good bullpen. But yeah, I mean, absolutely.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: If you're going to, if you're going up against a
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: guy that throws 105 miles an hour for every single
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: dang pitch, and he's going to win the Cy Young
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: award in the National League, you'd probably feel pretty great
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: if you're knocking him out of the game in the
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: fourth or fifth inning. And that's what they did today.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: They just couldn't do anything against their bullpen either.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: So.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Care to comment here, Joe? And this is a nice
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: version of it. Joe says, Alana is a closet Brewers
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: fan from her time in Wisconsin. At least he's not
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: being mean.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I have to say, no, I don't mind that. No,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I respect the Brewers. Sure, I mean, if
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers aren't in it, do I want the Brewers
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: to go all the way?
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Sure. I mean, at this point, if the Dodgers.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Lose to the Brewers, which I don't think is going
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: to happen, I think the Dodgers win in six. But
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I would love it if the Brewers won the World Series.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: If we're not in it, I'd rather a National League
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: team win. win than an American league team. Right. But yeah,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're, they're well coached. I had a great
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: time in Milwaukee. I lived in Madison for three years. Um,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: that was, that was a lot of fun, but I
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: am not a closet Brewers fan.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Dodgers all the way. Or also whoever's paying us that day,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: we will be a fan. Uh, dollar 99, our friend
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Latino slant in the chat.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: So there we go.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Let's keep the faith and get a wind tomorrow. I
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: think we could say it's going to be great.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: It's going to be great.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: We still feel good. We still feel, still feel like
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers are the better team.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Even if they didn't win 103 games this year, they
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: still won a hundred. They are a very good ball club.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: You got anything else for me?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: No.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, good night guys. Thanks for being here. Remember it's
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a weird start time tomorrow, right?
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: It's like what?
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Five o'clock here, two o'clock in LA. So, uh, we
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: will be, Clint and I will be with you right
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: after the game as we were tonight. And don't forget
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: to check out Katie stuff. Uh, all the stuff that
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: she's writing on the athletic as well.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. And, Make sure you watch, even if the
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Rams game starts tomorrow, watch us during the Rams. You
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: got a phone, you got a device, you got super chats.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: We appreciate you. And we'll see you tomorrow after the
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Dodgers win game two. Bye.
