Dodgers, they are moving on as they take three games to one over the Atlanta Braves. Hello everybody and welcome to a brand new postseason edition of Dodgers territory.

2:15The first team to punch their way into the championship series. They are moving on as they take three games to one over the Atlanta Braves. And they will be popping some bottles momentarily. That is where Katie Wu is. So hopefully she has a poncho and goggles. Although she's like her. She's just got to let it burn. Clint, my goodness. The cactus. The confidence cactus. Dave Robert said he had it in Andy Pahes. He believed in him. If he paid dividends tonight, he sent us to the end of LCS. Yeah. Andy Pahes, you know, obviously he's the dude in the start of this series. First two games. Got a lot of crap. Took a lot of flack for being in there for being over eight to start the postseason. And then yesterday it was a hey, is he going to be in the lineup? Is Dave going to give him the boot? What are they going to do here? Dave said I trust this guy. Like you said, gave him some love on the confidence cactus.

3:16The trust tree. There was somebody else. There was something about a fight. He rewarded Dave Roberts for that faith. Faith, that's what it was. Hey, we figured out we learned words along the way. Yeah, really, really good at bat there in that was at the seventh inning. I got to get to that part of my notes. I forget most things. I have the brain of a bee these days, but yeah, at the top of the seventh there, shortens up spits on that change up from Suarez and just a nice single up the middle where a day ago, two days ago, really, two games ago. He's probably swinging at that change up. He's probably swinging at a first pitch up and out of the zone, but it was really good at bat. And that's the type of stuff. And this is a guy who's a nine hitter for you for this team right now. It shows you the depth of this lineup. It shows you the compete and all the other words Dave will love to say. The top of the lineup didn't do anything.

4:16It was the bottom of the lineup that got it done. It's funny though, because before that, obviously, Tucker stays off the slider to get the walk off a didier Fuentes. Then, today, I was nearly picked off on that three-o pitch. It was challenged. It was confirmed. And then, you know, you get the walk for Kyle Tucker and then Fuentes exits just after three batters. And here comes Andy Pahas against Robert Suarez, more of the veteran guy. You got to remember, Dede here Fuentes is only 21 years old. Suarez is more of the veteran present. Base is loaded to out. And you, you know, we said it. Dave said, Dave looks like a gosh darn genius. I tell you what, because Dave Roberts has all the confidence in the world and Andy Pahas, he came up big and hasn't done much in the postseason so far in his career. Perhaps that narrative can finally go away after that, you know, that to run knock Kyle Tucker, who hasn't done much in the regular season, has had a good postseason so far. We'll get into that more in a moment. Max Muncie is a freaking beast. Three hits in this postseason. All three have been homeruns.

5:17That's what he's paid for, right? Hit Dingers, show up and hit Dingers. What was that? His 19th, I think, career homer in the postseason for the Dodgers. I have to double check that one. I haven't looked at the social media and I forget again, brain of a bee. But you wanted insurance late in this one. And that is exactly what Max Muncie delivered. Have a nice three run cushion to go to, hey, you're closer. Edwin Diaz getting the ball. And, you know, yesterday or two, no, it was yesterday. You know, you have a little bit, was it yesterday? Yes. You have a little bit of the anxiety when Dave has the ball to Edwin Diaz today. It was gone. I postseason is a different animal. Like, I don't care what you did a month ago. I don't care what you did all throughout the season. It's what you're doing right now. And Edwin Diaz looks absolutely filthy. He looks absolutely locked in right now and made short work of them, then braves there in the ninth inning. Yeah, I knew that I wanted this guy to be signed by the Dodgers in the off season.

6:19Again, this was the one that I said we absolutely have to have at the time. I thought Kyle Tucker was a bonus, but Edwin Diaz was my guy. And he hasn't shown a lot of brilliance in the regular season. Then he was on the I.L. forever. He came back after being in the minor leagues, still didn't look good, didn't look good in rehab assignments. And then the last week, something clicked. And he's been able to parlay that into the postseason. He comes out. It's a three one advantage as far as that is concerned. Our three run advantage, rather. It's four to one, but a three run advantage and comes out and does the job. Gets one punchy in his inning of work and he looks great. And again, he continues to move up that faithficus, if you will. So he looked good. And I knew that I knew that there was a reason to have faith in Edwin Diaz. And he's proven it at the end of the regular season when he finally came back. And obviously so far in this post season. Yeah. And I'm going to go back to that the box score that we just had on the screen to look at the rest of the work from that law.

7:22That law Sandra, this Dodgers bullpen because Tyler Glasnow will talk about glass now. And by the way, everybody get your thoughts about this game, your celebrations for this team in the chat. But glass now. He looked like Tyler Glasnow, you know, didn't get deep into this game. Dave trusting his very rested bullpen, like we had opine last night, lean on those guys for and a third clean innings from that team from that bullpen from the guys at the top of the confidence cactus. That's what that's what you want out of these dudes. Give you scoreless relief. Keep your team in the game and set up somebody like Pa has to do what he did, which was ease any this pull any of that tension any of that weight on your shoulders. You feel real good after all of that. So yeah, a great game. And this is where again, we feel so confident about this team. Much of this your grand of others who prefer to, you know, be worry warts and sucking their thumbs in the corners, which trust I've been there. We've all been there.

8:22I will probably be there in the very next series, but right now, especially for this one, it's like, no, walk with your chest pumped out because we were the better team. The Dodgers were the better team and it showed in just about every facet. This sports spotlight is brought to you by Capital One. Capital One offers no fees or minimums on checking accounts.

I've spent my career on the executive side of this industry, multi-platinum songs, building artists and building business. And alongside my brother Tank, the superstar R&B singer, songwriter and producer, we've created something special, the R&B money piecads. This is not just a piecad. It's a safe space where artists, executives and fans of R&B music come to reminisce. Pull back the curtain and tell the stories that shaped this culture, the real history behind the hits. That was hood famous. Yeah. And then real love came out and it blew up.

10:24We lived in a project. And they never seen any of all the success. They hear the music and we had nothing. We're covering the entire spectrum from Smokey Robinson, Alicia Keys, B2K, Mary J. Blige, Legends Current Stars and everyone who's contributed to the sound of R&B. You come out the gate with a hit. And it knocked Michael Jackson out of number one. Come on, man. I was like, hold on. I'm not gonna MJ out of the number one spot. If you're a super dedicated R&B fan who wants the real discovery, the real stories, this is your piecads. This is the R&B money piecads. Listen to R&B money from the Black Effect piecads network on the iHeart Radio app, Apple piecads or whatever you get your piecads. I remember when I was still in Los Angeles covering the Dodgers. And this is gonna sound unbelievably arrogant. So I'm gonna go ahead and preface this whole thing by saying that first. But I remember getting out, you know, I would travel with the team. I was fortunate enough to be able to do that and travel with them the way that they travel, which is glorious. That's why I cannot stand commercial travel now.

11:25But I remember getting off of planes and buses and talking to Andrew Friedman and Dave Roberts like walking into a ballpark before a game. And I'd be like, you know what, doesn't it, isn't it just cool that we're with the MF and Dodgers? That like you walk into an opposing park. And there's just something really cool about being with the team that is as good as this team is. It's an intimidation factor. And it's just really neat to be a part of something that an ownership group cares enough to put the money into the team. It's awesome. There's just a different, it's just a different feeling. And I've said this story a thousand times, so I apologize for the repetition, but I'll never forget when AJ, oh my god, I'm forgetting his name now. Which one, Ellis? No. Notre Dame, outfielder. We used to play for the Diamondbacks. Pollock. AJ Pollock, thank you. My goodness. I'll give you a minute. When AJ Pollock came over in free agency from the Diamondbacks to the Dodgers, and he walked

12:27into the Spring Training Clubhouse at Campbell Bakker Ranch, and Jacques Peterson was there, because they used to have all of the outfielders together on the first wall, like when you walk in from the outside to the left. And even, Jacques was like welcome to the big leagues. And this was after AJ had been obviously in the league for quite some time, and had some success in the league too. So there's just a different feeling about this, being a part of an organization like this, and Mark Weiner or Boss just got on and said my house is crooked, so whatever it's my camera. So I told her before the show, Mark. I tried to fix it. Whatever. I tried to fix it. Sorry. But it's cool. Congratulations to the Dodgers. I don't even know where I was going with that. But they had. It is different. It's the big leagues. When you play with the Dodgers, it's a different expectation. That's where you're going with it. And that's, you know, in your tenure, that's what you saw. That's what the organ, I can still remember. Was it in 17 where Lasorda goes wobbling behind Dave as he's about to enter the press, you know, like the media scrum room there.

13:27And he said, like, you haven't done shit until you've won with the Dodgers. I don't. And eventually he got there and think, thank the Lord that Tommy was able to see it in 2020 there at the ballpark in Arlington or whatever they call it. It's not that one. It's global. I feel the park that Corey Seager built. That's, that's, let's be fair in a few capacities. But yeah, really, really good stuff, really good stuff with this organization. And so I don't know, like, it's fun. It's fun to win. It's fun. You see them now. You know, starting to start to make you rose. Got his tequila watching here on the side. He needs, he needs that for his bad back, his back sailing. So he's like, let me go ahead. I think so. It's going to help him loose. And yes, it's always VIX all the all the latins, all of our people just rub VIX on it. Forget the dirt. It doesn't matter what it is. I have the flu put VIX on it. I have my leg needs to be amputated VIX VAPU RUB. VAPU RUB put that on. Yeah.

14:27So good for them. I mean, I'm not, I'm not surprised that they moved on. The Braves obviously a good team Dodgers better starting pitching up and down. And obviously a stronger bullpen when you're allowed to, you know, use them in the way that you want to use them. We're going to talk about glass. Obviously the battle of the battle of the two Tyler's. I was figuring we could hit some chats right now. We got friends of the show hanging out with us right now. $2 super chat from Nancy Brown says give a lot of a net break. Hey, she's working. We're all working at this time of year. I'm good. I don't need a net right now. She's locked in. Ocean Breeze in the chat. Ocean Breeze. A lot of numbers saying Dodgers fans knew we would be here. 100%. Phillip bringing up a good point. Good topic. We haven't taken a dive into yet. Otani got the first run. Did his job. Yeah, like, show Hey looked a lot better in this game. He was sitting the ball hard. And Dave, when asked by Ken Rosenthal today in the in the in game interview,

15:28what he was seeing with show Hey Otani, Dave mentioned the patience of show Hey. He walked. He scored a run on that Aaron throw in the second. So that's good. Patients at the plate is something that in recent days has not been Otani's strength. He's chasing. He's flailing. He's out in front a lot. It seemed like he was much more in command of his own personal strike zone in terms of that. So yeah, the patience has been there today, at least, at least in game four for show Hey, Otani. Or three, four. Yeah, again, taking it's all good. Taking better swings, taking a better swing decisions. I think I think there's a lot of good to take from show Hey. I still like him down in lineup. You know, he hit fourth today, moving up from hitting fifth yesterday. I think it's still the right call. Dave said like it's not ideal. It's not where you want show Hey, but we know he's not right. He knows he's not right. And he could still do some damage, hitting four hit and five. I doubt we see him any lower than that. Yeah, Mookie not his best game today. Happy birthday, Mookie.

16:28It's Saturday. Yeah, yeah, but hey, played, played a really good defense up the middle. I also want to shout out, you know, we'll talk more about Muncie and the Homer again, because that's just, that's just what he does. But defensively, there was the one play in the, was it seventh inning, the eighth inning. Ball comes up, kind of eats him up. You know, he loses his balance still strong throw over to Freddie and Freddie with the scoop. Oh, I know. That man. That's my buddy texted me about there's, there's the old All Star game interaction between Freddie Freeman and Jose Ramirez. Are they ready? Go, go right away. That's, that's what you think in that moment. How many, how many errors has Freddie Freeman stopped or prevented because of his scoops at first? And every time he does the splits, I feel like. Well, I don't do the splits. Well, I mean, damn real, but damn near. Because it's crazy like the crazy stretching and all that.

17:29So I'm sure early on in this career, he was doing the splits. My point is he has prevented a lot of runs from scoring and a lot of errors from being made. And he's just a gamer. He's just a kid is just a gamer and I love him, I love him to death. Oh, I got Sammy Boy in the chat saying Diaz ain't messing around. Yeah, he looked, he looked good. I didn't need it to be three strikeouts. He got the one punchy and then two flyouts, Tucker. Good, easy, simple work. And Edwin Diaz is one of those guys you do worry about occasionally. Maybe making a little bit more of a heart attack, a little bit more of a tight rope walk. In his innings, but thankfully, made it nice, easy, simple work. And I was talking to you before we went live and we've kind of pined slightly about it. Like somebody in the chat mentioning, like you do kind of feel for the braves to a degree. That sucks. It sucks. I mean, it's like those last few at bats, you were just talking about it, you know, that it's like knowing that your season is over. And this is a very good braves team.

18:29And Tyler Molly pitch great. That's not to do with them. It was just really good at bats from the daughters up and down the line of very professional at bat. From Andy Pahes, the difference maker. Obviously, the insurance from months was great. But Andy Pahes, the difference maker today, but it wasn't from lack of good pitching. Certainly from the starting staff. And we'll talk about glass more. But yeah, I mean, you feel for them. It's a they're a really good team. It's just the Dodgers are just really good or put that. Put that summit Sarah make that shirt Dodgers good or. Yeah, you know, this will be the brief second where we slightly are all slightly glazed the braves there. You know, again, that is a sucky feeling. Not that I've felt it at the big league level, but I felt it as a fan where you're watching your team client kind of, you know, you know, you know, you're ticket is punched. You're going to can't. But you still got your final three outs and God bless baseball. They let you play all 27 outs and you can't take a knee in baseball. So that is fantastic. But you know, like the fat lady is singing your season is about to be over.

19:32But Michael Harris, the second like in this game, he did everything. What a postseason areas for him. I mean, my God. The guy was for sure. I mean, he was he was absolutely tremendous. He deserves a tip of the cap. He was their offense, really. I mean, it's been a Michael Harris. The second show, the entire DS for Atlanta. Obviously it was in the first as well. The single then the stolen base moves to third on the ground out scores on a wild pitch. I mean, he single hand he single handedly. Single handedly scored, you know, created that entire offense and that first inning for them. And yeah, again, even that wild pitch, that's just by by the fact that you needed to find what happened. It was a solid curve ball in the dirt. Well blocked by Will barely got out in front, but he was he was going. He was going no matter what at that point. Like he was he was ready to say, you know, F you. I'm trying to make something happen here. Get the fans the truest something to cheer for and and he did.

20:32And then on the other side, the the tie the Molly side. You see there on the screen just well, these was there the the six and a third. Yeah, the problem was he was he was really good. My god, he had that split finger work in forum through it. 55% of the time and when I was watching it and understanding, you know, heading into this game that he's split finger guy. I was thinking I just kept thinking about Kevin Gossman against Dodgers last year in the World Series. Game two, game six, absolutely owned them until, you know, the Dodgers are inevitable. But this game in particular shades of game two, you stretch Gossman into the seventh. You end up losing the lead. Same thing happens here. You know, Molly comes back out for that seventh inning. I think he he's I don't know if he got it out or immediately, you know, walk or hit whatever it was. But yeah, that was what set the stage for great inning building by the Dodgers in the seventh. Because you had the one out. I think it was a one out single from where's my note on there?

21:32I have it. It was for Teo. Teo had the one out single after having some sense knocked into him when he ran into the wall. I thought he was dead. Molly X, it's Didier Fuentes enters. Muncie has the hard ground out. So that's two outs and then Jose de Paula. And you knew you and I had talked about this. That was going to be his only at bat, right? You obviously have Tommy Edmund Pinchrun. So Jose de Paula does his job. It's on base with the walk. Then you have Tommy Edmund come in and Pinchrun. So we knew de Paula was only going to get one at bat. But he did the job, right? He did the job and then you're going to have Edmund stay in for defense anyway. So you have that going for you. And then obviously Tucker stays off the slider to get the walk. Andy Pies comes in. Yeah, great at bat. Makes the difference there in the game. And then you have Mookie grounds out to end it. But then top of the ninth, Max Muncie with the home run. So it was a great game. It was a very well played game. It was clean baseball for the most part. You talked about that really difficult grab. There wild pitch from Will Smith. He blocked it. It's just whatever curveball that went bananas. It was good. It was a good game.

22:32Maybe it was a really good game for the most part on both sides. Yeah. And the Dodgers were victorious because of that, you know, the confidence cactus that Dave Roberts has an Andy Pies. And a little more shout, a little more love for Maxwell Steven Muncie again. Given that insurance, just to give you that last bit of time, of calmness entering the bottom of the ninth and looking before the game with our friends over at Cal State to see you. Who's got a chance? What are the percentage chances of somebody hitting a home or what are the people that are placing any sort of trades on this game, what are they looking at? And Muncie, you know, 18% chance, 19% chance, 19% chance of winning. And then, you know, you know, the game is a great game. And then, you know, you know, you know, and Muncie, you know, 18% chance, 19% chance to hit a homer in this game was kind of one of the higher percentage guys in this game, entering this game. By the way, put five dollars on that. You win $27 if you happen to trade that if you happen to be right.

23:35So I've been kind of following this along all postseason looking before. Like, how are people thinking, you know, other people, the players are going to perform in these games. And yeah, the 18%, 19%, the fans, the traders were proven right on the CalShi app. If you guys are interested in checking it out, trying CalShi, you guys know you can download that app scan, the QR code, use code baseball, you get $55 added to your account.

25:39Legends, Current Stars, and everyone who's contributed to the sound of R&B. You come out the gate with a hit. And it knocked Michael Jackson out of number one. Come on man. I was like, hold on. I'm not gonna M.J. out of the number one spot. If you're a super dedicated R&B fan who wants the real discovery, the real stories, this is your podcast. This is the R&B Money Podcast. Listen to R&B Money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or whatever you get your podcast. No doubt. I'm always happy when Max Muncie's in that lineup. Whether he's in the lineup or coming off the bench, I prefer him to start, but I get it. Left on left isn't always the best way to go with Chris Sale on the mound. But Tyler Glass now, he looked great, right? I mean, four and two thirds, obviously. He did enough, right? He did enough. One hit, one run, one earned run. Not the greatest stuff in the world had the five walks, but he also had five punchies. I think overall, the best number four starter in the postseason, you know what I mean?

26:39Like that's he did his job. He's a number four starter on this particular team. Yeah, that's that's the thing, you know. He battles. We know that it to me, it felt like a regular season Tyler Tyler Glass now start because he didn't always have his best stuff. Didn't really have secondary going so much early and then started finding some other stuff. Good, really good, just far from great. That's and that's that's what you get. If you can get that out of your number four guy, keep the team in the game. Like we said last night, keep the team close and you could empty out that bullpen. My buddy, Jacob Brownson online on the Twitter, he said, wasn't particularly elite start, but it's hard to complain about what Tyler Glass now did today. Five walks is brutal though. And yeah, coast side on all of it. The Dodgers won the game. That's the most important part. Dodgers won the game. Tyler Glass now started and they don't need to go to a game five. You don't need to use Terrick's Google on Friday.

27:39Exactly. That's the thing though. I was on the other on the other side of that equation that I was thinking of. Let's say this game absolutely went south, right? And it was it was horrible. Atlanta wins. We still have Terrick's Google, which is also a massive benefit. But now you can save him obviously for game one of the NLCS. And Dave had a big decision there in the fifth four and two thirds when Tyler was still in there. He removes him in the bottom of that inning, obviously in favor of Alex Vesia, the left-hander, who inherits two runners, not necessarily the best situation for anybody. I would rather come in in a clean inning, although he seems to have a type of personality that kind of likes traffic on the bases. Oh, yeah. And Vesia did a great job. And then you have Kike with the play and then Freddie, you know, with the put out at first. Both good defensive players on both sides of that equation. So Vesia, Kike, Freddie, great job getting out of that inning. Yeah. And give us, you know, we already mentioned I mentioned the bullpen, but they got a shout out at Gardo Henriquez here taking down I think four outs, five outs, four outs in this game.

28:40Yeah, you and I were talking so underrated, remains so underrated. In fact, this is only a second time pitching in a little under a month. Obviously missed most of September with with the injury. Come back, Deeland, looking good. Yeah, it was, it was like I said, I think it was a very well played game all the way around. And I liked the fact we didn't have to win by the home run. Obviously we got a home run from Max Muncie, but the fact of the matter is Andy Pahez with that two run knock. That was big. It was big for his confidence. It was big for this team. It was obviously a validation for Dave Roberts' decision to keep him in, but the bullpen was great. I don't know what else there is to say other than well played and congratulations. Now you move on and again, because the podres, I think podres and brewers is going to five personally. I would like for Mill Wacky to win tonight, but I think it's going to five. But that being said, they're still going to beat the shit out of each other. And that's going to, that's going to bode well for the Dodgers, right?

29:42Because Dodgers can rest after they do all these shenanigans tonight as they should. They should celebrate every, every time you move on, because you never know when you're going to be able to do it again. Absolutely. And then you get ready. You get ready for whomever it's going to be on the other side. Yeah, that's funny. As you say the shenanigans, I'm looking over here to my left and seeing Alex Freeland dump either beer or champagne on Dave's head as he's getting interviewed on Fox. So just perfect timing with the shenanigans there. But yeah, Dodgers in a fantastic spot here. The rotation is lined up for whoever they may face. And we can talk more about that in a little bit. We do need to tell folks about our friends over with SeatGeek. But before I throw to that, let's go ahead and have you guys keep chiming in the chat. We're going to go to more chats after this. We'll talk about other little bits and bops and things going on. Who we want to face in that NLCS, but it is time for SeatGeek. It is.

30:42The Dodgers are moving on heading back home and get yourself some tickets to support the boys with our friends at SeatGeek with over 35 million downloads. SeatGeek, we've talked about it all season long, guys. The number one rated ticketing app you can get tickets to the Dodger game to concerts, festivals and more. SeatGeek has your back because each ticket is rated on a scale of one to ten. So you know you're getting a good deal. Yeah, it's really easy. You look for the green dots. Green means good.

All tickets on SeatGeek go ahead and use those for a Dodger game. Hopefully, you know, I mean the Padres win. They would be playing the Padres in L.A. on Friday. But we still got to figure out where they are going first. We know the Brewers have the better record there. But make sure you click that link in the description. Download the app and have the code automatically added to your accounts.

31:44So you can use it later. Thank you SeatGeek. We appreciate you. And I doubt. Final thoughts. Let's get some other things in here. This one I don't understand. Let me go to the right screen to pop this up here. Nancy Brown with another $2.00 super chat. What's up with the pickles? What are the, I'm missing the pickles. Oh, I don't know. What's up with pickles? Dill? I got it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Well, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Oh, William William. I forgot that that was. Yeah, that was. William Dill Smith. Yeah, he didn't have tons of. He hasn't had the best postseason. But you know what I think. I really feel like. You're always blessed with what you can get offensively from a catcher. Right? I mean, that's, that's always to me. That's a bonus. If he continues to manage the pitching staff, the way that he's doing. And putting down the right fingers and doing the, you know, bit of the ball, the ball, the ball, and the ball, and the ball. Yeah. Then I actually feel so good with the loss in the personalities in doing that. That to me is far more important than any offense. We can get for him. Again, it's always more of a benefit to get some offense. But I don't worry about that as much with a catcher, um, then, you know,

32:49then they are, you know, your first base bit or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, that's a really good point. The fact that he could stay back there. I mean, it is someone who's hitting high up on your line up. You need a little bit more thumb out of him, and I'm sure eventually. He's gonna find something it's gonna be great for William Dills. It's what he does. We're not used to seeing him struggle in the postseason, but the fact that he can still hang us hat on navigating that pitching staff the way he has. Like I will always buy into Will doing something at some point for this team. Gabriel earlier in the chat with the $5 Super Chat, and that's all she wrote. Game over, Dodgers win, baby, three down, eight to go. That is three down. Eight to go. And we're gonna talk about that eight along with this chat from Momo Tarros. If I'm saying that wrong, I apologize, but I think the Dodgers want the Padres after the owner comments. So here we are, we've been through one series. I think the Dodgers want the Padres always.

33:49I think that also is such a good series for the fans. It's just that there's just natural hate amongst the fan bases. Now I think this has become, I'm not saying long term broad stroke. I'm saying right now Dodgers Padres is way bigger of a rivalry than Dodgers Giants because the Giants have not been competitive recently. So I think everybody, I think TV wants it. I think the fan bases want it. I think it would be a lot of fun. I think both teams are very good. But I think Padres, yeah, Dodgers are like, all right, let's go. I mean the Dodgers, I don't think care who they play. I think they're just like, they just want to move on. But from the fan base perspective, I think Dodgers Padres is kind of what's on everybody's mind. Yeah, I don't disagree with that one. Drifter, and it's good for baseball as well. Like that's going to put butts in the seats for Fox. But Drifter Cloud says, need the Padres to win tonight. Like you had said, forced the Brewers to use Mizorowski, Metsup, either way, they're going to be burnt. They're going to be burnt out, you know. They had said, oh, it's his name Craig Stamman said

34:51before their game that Michael King is also available for them. He started to go at game two through four to one. Yeah, 40 some odd pitches last night. Yeah. Ace type stuff, you know, like, like, like, maybe not necessarily as the front top end of baseball ace, but like your team ace, that guy that you, you know, can put you on, I guess his right or left shoulder is always pretty massive for the team. Jose in the chat saying Dodgers, heck yeah, bring on whoever. We don't back up to no one. Thanks for giving it your all. Yeah, again, good team, fun team. We still haven't seen them clicking yet. Like they still got a lot left in the tank. You got to see them hitting with runners in scoring position. You got to see Shohei wake up. You got to see Willie, you got to see Mookie doing a little bit more. But, you know, they could be misfiring and still play as well as they did. As long as they don't make mistakes, you know what I mean? Like if they're misfiring a little bit and, uh,

35:52but you have to play fundamentally sound baseball. You can't not be hitting and not playing fundamental ball. Doesn't work. Facts. Question here from Sal with the $1.99 Super Chat as well. Thank you, Sal, for the support. And we'll go ahead and center that for us. Should we be concerned with Miggie's injury? Do you want to give people the update there that we had before the game on Miguel Rojas? I don't know if I know. All that was was just that he wasn't feeling good today. Oh, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Lower lower back and that type of thing. If Miggie was an everyday player, I might be a little bit more concerned, but I think the rest will help this team. He's going to come off the bench, uh, you know, on whenever game one of the CSs. Uh, so I mean, I'm not, I'm not worried about it right now. I mean, honestly, like the amount that he plays, just the quarter zone shot the shit out of him. And all you got to do is get 11 more wins, right? Couple more weeks. Everybody, yeah, well, you know, but the thing is,

36:56I think everybody at this point's playing with something. Um, and they, I think they got him out of the game because at that point, let's just, let's just see what's going on. Make sure it doesn't get worse, but I'm not, I'm not concerned. If this was Freddie, I would, I would be a little bit more concerned. Yeah. And, and you know, Dave had said, you know, they are keeping them on the roster. They don't want, didn't want to make any decisions that would compromise the status. Of course, if he's taken off the roster, he would be unavailable for an LCS, uh, where we know the Dodgers are going. Um, so obviously we're live, so we didn't miss our, we were unable to hear what's going on in the clubhouse, but Dave leading the charge, uh, before the champagne pops, his quote that we posted on our Dodgers territory, Twitter go check it out. We're smarter, we're better and we're tougher, and we're dinosaurs. Ha, ha, ha, yes. Yes. That's what's up, Dave. I gotta love that little trolling, right? Oh, and there's also Raul Navarra 52 44 with the 499 Super Chat. We appreciate that very much. Raul, the dinosaurs went to advance to the NLCS eight more W's.

38:02Listen, I don't care how, I don't care how geriatric this team is. We're still better. Listen, they're here. They're hurting. I'm here. My neck's been hurting for two days, but I'm still pushing the buttons. Yeah, it's not always perfect. Yeah, sometimes Alana's living room is crooked. But we're still having a good time. It's not crooked. It's not. It's not. Oh, OK, your eyes are crooked right now. Like my numbers, bitches, put up some crooked numbers. 19, 1899, MH Dodger Life. Appreciate the support. My man, all they can say is trust the show, Analana, guys, they will be OK. Go, Blue. Bats need to be ready for the NL winner. Bestie or Milwaukee, not concerned about the AL team. Yeah, I'm not looking too far ahead yet with the World Series. And hopefully this is not something that comes back to the hubris to bite me in the ass, but I'm not exceptionally worried about anybody, this team place in the World Series.

39:02I'm more worried about the next round. And you're more worried about the next game. But we know they're going to have Tarek's Google on the bump. And I'm going to throw this up and then we can sign off from here. He had himself a pretty damn good game one with six innings, one earned seven punches. And he wasn't even at his best. So get him his next start. Let him settle in a little bit more. And I guess we can say, Alana, you know, you could probably say it's going to be great. It's going to be great. You know what else is going to be great? So Gabriel Jarra, 6756 has a comment in the chat that says, happy birthday to Mookie Sores Becks. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's you guys see because it's bats. And anyways, I don't got nothing else to add. I'll go ahead and hit the music for us. The Dodgers win the Dodgers advance to the NLCS to play in certain team here. We will know more tomorrow. Yeah. And we're on tomorrow.

40:02So it's me and Clint and Katie at our normal time, 12 Pacific three Eastern will have our normal Thursday show and we will discuss perhaps we will know who the Dodgers are playing tomorrow if Milwaukee wins tonight.
