You sign a lot of these guys for October. While people were soured on Teosca Hernandez, I'll buy into that dude in October because he's still standing there by the way, watching that homework. What up everybody and welcome to the first post season post game of Dodgers territory. Clint Paseus, Alana Rizzo, we are here taking you through game one cheers to the everybody cheers to you Clint. Post season is here. It is arrived and the Dodgers take game one five to three over the Atlanta Braves. We're going to talk all things Teosca all things Kyle Tucker all things Max Muncie all things Tarek school. But first let's start with the end and go backwards. Let's start with that nice and a Tanner Scott. Thank goodness Clint Tanner had a cushion, but that's not what you want to see.

Yeah, listen, I guess get it out of the way now. Let Tanner Scott get the bad ending out of the way now. There's up a two run homer to Aussie Albies. I wasn't expecting a lot out of Aussie in this series. Last night we did a sort of final pre series show on my all Dodgers channel and my buddy Kevin says, oh, he's somebody I'm watching this series. Aussie Albies is like really in this day and age. He showed you he's still got something to the tank. I don't know like do you worry about Tanner Scott already like already immediately after this like I don't know. I'm on the fence if I'm worried like we went we entered this postseason feeling fantastic about the starting rotation and we do with their scoobles game one start. But now you know the guy who Dave wants to turn to most often in the ninth didn't have a good a good you know. I guess 2026 postseason debut. Well, yeah, I mean, no, I'm not worried. I'm not worried because I do think you know when you have a

five to one lead, you don't necessarily have to nibble as much. I do think that this is a guy that knows what he's doing. Thank goodness we have the cushion. I don't think that Dave would hesitate going to him again. It was a little too close for comfort, but I think it's too soon. Now if he has a couple of other outings like that, whether it's in the ninth inning or leading up to the ninth inning, then a little bit more concerned if he's allowing a lot of traffic on the bases, but for this one or not even traffic on the bases, as he obviously didn't even really have to touch him. But now I think I'm not concerned yet, not not in the first game. Yeah, again, I get it out of the way now. Evan Phillips comes in behind him with two outs walks the lead off batter. He faces, of course, to bring up Austin Riley who has himself some big postseason moments. That made me nervous. Yeah, yeah, thankfully. Thankfully, everything works out and your Dodgers win game one. We are happy about that. We are thrilled about that. You know, I was thrilled with, I don't know, do you want to talk more pitching?

Do you want to stay in the pitching lane and talk about Tarek's Google or do you want to talk about dingers? Let's talk about Tarek. Let's go from the closer to the starter Tarek's Google was awesome to see him in his Dodgers post season. Dave, you enters the start on Saturday, a 204 ERA six career postseason start. So he knows how to pitch in the postseason, Clint, when it matters, the most he had struck out 56 walked just six batters of the 148 batters he faced coming into this game. I think a couple of things. The heat might have gotten to him there at the ladder portion of his outing and not only the heat, but the fact that he had some really quick innings, he's kind of just sitting in the dugout, waiting for the Dodgers offense to do its thing. So I think he did great though. Obviously, it gives up one home run, so one earned run in six innings of work. I love the fact that now it looks brilliant, right? That Tarek's Google started game one, Blake smells going in game two and then Yoshinobu Yamamoto will go in game three.

So Tarek's Google, this is why you got him, right? This is why you signed him. I'm not going to trade that line. This is why every team that was in contention should have gone after him. And the Dodgers did it and this is a massive arm that they needed and he proved, he proved them right. Yeah, I think the heat got to him eventually, but you know, lead off single by Drake Baldwin and after that retires the next 15 briefs in order that he faces. And then yeah, into that sixth inning, you know, I think he was his guess. What's funny? It's, you know, it's the bad luck. It's the hubris, I guess you could say to a degree, because I was about to type to, you know, a text right out. I'm a part of like complete game shut out because he was into the game. He was at only like 67 pitches at that time and then sure enough, Sean Murphy goes yard, but thankfully limits the damage to just that. And yeah, six full, the two hits one, earn two walks both in

that inning, seven punchies, 94 pitches, all things considered with the heat, his first real honest to God game one start with a major league team, that'll do respect to Detroit Tigers. That's not very nice. You know what? That's why you trade for him. That's why you trade for him. Absolutely right. And I do feel that this was an absolute must win game and obviously not because it is the NLDS not because post season is so much more difficult to get wins, but because the Atlanta Braves were starting a bullpen game. Like you have, if you have Eric's Google on the hill and you have a bullpen game, you better frick it win. I don't care who the Dodgers would have started in game one. When your opponent is throwing a bullpen game and you know that they are tired, you know that their relieving core is not where they want them to be. They're scrambling and kind of limping into the post season. You must get this game when you have that ace. We get another ace tomorrow and then another another ace game three. You have this is a much, this is a must win for that reason alone.

Yeah, that would be, I don't know if that's the end all be all for for the Dodgers of course because it still would be the Braves would still need to win two more games. But yeah, if you end up losing a bullpen game, that is just such a momentum shift. That is a fantastic point there. So don't give them that chance and hey, now we're still not certain that they're going to have Chris sale available in game two. You know, so far Walt Weiss unwilling to are unwilling or unknowing on whether or not sales going to be available as we talked about yesterday. Chris sale is older now like to have him go out there and pull a max a max surezer like he did with the Dodgers in 2021. Shares are had a tough time coming back and being available for the team. He did, but Shares are in route to that point was not having the type of season that Chris sale has put together this year or last year. I think he's really good after they traded for. I think Chris sale has pitched better this year that he did even earlier on in his career.

So I don't I don't yes, he's older, but so are we. I just don't I don't put it to have him to have a really good outing, but I'd love I'd love it for not to even be an issue or or furthermore force the issue for some to pitch. You know what I mean? I want to look at some more Terrick's Google by the way, the numbers here. Just throw that up on the screen while we're also talking about Chris sale showing off the new graphics. Shout out our buddy Derek Levin Dowski who hosts pinstriped territory are our Yankees counterpart here on the foul network. Hello, a game, hell of a season. But yeah, Chris sale. He's fantastic. We know this much. And if he gets the ball for game three, I mean, that's still good. Hopefully he gets the ball for game three and the the Braves are down to nothing in the series because I'd feel a lot better about that one. We'll talk more about all of that coming up. What do you got? I do want to bring something up in the in the chat that is I think a very good point of V track 1963 says I'm grateful Roberts didn't stick with Scott, although Phillips walking the first guy sucks also good

point on both points. I think this is another explanation or another example rather of Dave Roberts maturing as a manager and saying, look, Terrick's Google, obviously doesn't have it right now. I'm going to go ahead and make the make the decision before it got to the point of no return where it could have ended up tight. Yes, you don't want even Phillips to walk the first guy that doesn't that's not helpful either. But the piece that the frame of mind to just be like, no, you're out. We don't have time. Like I don't have time to see how this goes. We're in this to win every single every single game. So that was a good point. I think that that he made for sure. No, it's a really good point to bring up there. Yeah. And and you know, if we were smarter about being prepared for that ninth inning because that ninth inning happened pretty quick. If we're being honest. And usually when we get to the ninth inning, that's that's the fun part where I get to pay attention the least because I need to start getting things. You know, the ones and twos and bells and whistles ready here for the show. So you don't really see how quick an inning can speed up there. But yeah, shout out to Dave like managing immediately with that kind of urgency.

You know, he was ready. Yeah, I think Matt Olson was was also Terrick Scoobles last batter in that inning, regardless. And that's six inning. Thankfully, get some on the pop up on her mile. Now our cheese. I think it was to get him out or maybe that was in the first inning. But a similar situation there to end the six inning and that threat for the braves. But yeah, I mean, all in all outside of that ninth inning, great game on the pitching front, birthday Brock. He gets a seventh inning. It's somebody who we'll talk. We can't talk a little bit later more about the roster situation. But we weren't certain Brock Stewart was going to be on this postseason roster. He ends up making the roster tosses a one two three inning with a punchy in there. And Vesia, you know, a buddy texted me saying it's great to have Vesia back because I also kind of forgot what they didn't have Alex Vesia in the world season. That was a huge, huge missing part of that. They really they really needed him last year. Obviously, we know why and he was exactly where he needed to be. But it is great. And you're thinking too, you're like, okay, so Terrick Scoobles and their lefty, Vesia

is also a lefty. So it's like, you know, the lesser of two evils in that situation in terms of Scoobles, the fatiguing at that point, and Vesia coming into the game, hopefully with what would have been a clean ending. That's kind of what you want. But they, you know, Terrick Scoobles did his job. The bullpen did its job for the most part. It was a little hairy there. I understand that completely. But bottom line is they win game one and, you know, there's 10 more to go before they three feet. Obviously, that is the goal this season. Do we want to talk Dingers now or? Let's talk some Dingers. Talk some Dingers. How about the throughout fielders that have not necessarily come up clutch in the regular season? I have been preaching how great Kyle Tucker is all season long. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I've been, I've been harping on this. No, I'm kidding. Kyle Tucker, again, massive moment. Welcome. Welcome. That'll cement yourself into the appreciation lobe of some fans. Yeah.

Like you said in our rundown, Kyle fucking Tucker. Been saying all year. It doesn't matter. Like you signed this dude for October. You signed a lot of these guys for October. We talked to Tyler Glass now two days ago and pretty much, you know, I asked around the fact that you guys just really need to be ready for the month of October. People, you know, pictures like him like Blake Snell, so on and so forth. There's a reason while people were soured on Teosker Hernandez. I'm like, I buy into that dude in October because he's going to, he's still standing there by the way, watching that home or think God like, like, that was absolute cinema. There get me tail in the batter's box with the runner on base on a warmer day, a hot ass day, really in LA. You know that balls of life. I can have way up. You want the Latin guys that love the heat in those scenarios. Yeah, the Hernandez brothers, man, when it comes to October, it's just a different, it's just a different beast.

So tail that was awesome to get the daughters on the board with that two run shot obviously. And then, you know, Kyle Tucker, an unlikely hero, two for four tonight, the two RBI's obviously. He scored the run. He had a stolen base, 12 for 12 and stolen bags in the regular season. He's won for one so far in this playoff push. And then Max Muncie, who is like, duh, you just expect Max Muncie to home right? I mean, he has, he's just, he's just that dude. He's just that guy. So listen, if they have to win it via the long ball the entire time, as long as you play to defense, you know, and you throw and catch the ball well, I'll take it. Yeah, months home postseason, Homer number 17 to extend his Dodgers franchise lead. Again, everything before the ninth inning was just a very fun baseball game, the time of game, the kind of game type of game you want to see as a Dodger fan. And like you said, I, you know, it's a, you can't be not. Overstated enough, if that's how you would say this, that you need to win a game where

the braves are throwing a bullpen game, especially if it's game one. And it's in your ballpark and they did just that. Theo got him going. Yeah, you love it. You know, I am, I'm slightly mad at Mookie. I had some money on him to hit a Homer, but he let me down unfortunately. But yeah, let's get into some of the chats, by the way, people hanging out with us. And Don Davis is hitting us. So on the me, let me fix the way this looks here on my screen before I share it to everybody else using, using some different looks. But Don Davis, $2 saying, Alana is going to be great. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. It was great. It was great game today. Yeah, we're right. Don appreciate you very much. I'm assuming. Yeah, I'd so appreciate that. Don a couple other super chats in here. Fight. I think I saw one. We got the enigma in here as well. 499 saying I feel like a proud papa with my boy Tucker coming through. And y'all chill on Scott. He's been great all year. And we won postseason is binary.

Yeah, that's one of those. I'm not concerned because he has had a strong now. I would have been more concerned. How do you have the year he had last year? Yeah. And that's in that situation. So you don't worry immediately. You flag it. You certainly flag it as like, OK, here's something. Something to compare. I'm for sure. Keep your eye on Gabriel because not $7840 super chat $5. We appreciate you very much, Gabriel. And that's all she wrote game over. Dodgers win baby. One down 10 to go. That's right. Go Dodgers. Appreciate you guys participating here on Dodgers territory. Supports the show very much. Thank you. Appreciate that. Latino slant. I don't know. This is good. Latino slant. It's great name. Let's tuck and go. All that Clinton and Alana one down 10 to go. What's up? Buddy, thanks for the support. We appreciate that. Can we please talk about Pahez and challenges? Listen, listen, I think what made it worse was like how egregious that ball for that was called a strike three to Mookie was in the first inning. And Mookie finding it within himself to not challenge

because it's the first inning and he's the first better in the game. Yeah, it's like you can understand even as obvious as it was. It's like, listen, I'm going to take the veteran move, the veteran play here and not potentially blow a challenge. Yeah, I mean, you've got you've got so much more time in the game at that point to win the game and figure it out. And first inning, first batter of the game that is not the time. That's a pro move by Mookie Marcus Lynn. But Andy, I love you, man. You're a big part of what's been happening with the success of this club. Take challenges away. Take them away. You are not allowed to challenge. I think in the bottom of the eighth, too, there was a pitch he wanted to challenge. I'm pretty sure he got the heavy red light from the dugout after that was a second inning. But yeah, not also for Andy, just another one of those things you're not worried about, but you flag it for now. No, the first game offensively. More so. Like, hopefully you don't let that mentally snowball on you.

Drop it an over there for Pares. Played a really nice center field, tough sun field. It's not as much a sun field as right field is, but there was a play where he's kind of like using the glove shielding the sun, all that kind of stuff. So I appreciate that much. I also appreciate Shohei O'Connie's first hit bat. Oh, not homers. Got to hit hard single. He's up getting stranded. But it's like I have to hit the ball hard. Good things are eventually going to happen. I mean, he was crushing dingers on the field earlier today, right? I don't know. It wasn't necessarily BP, but it was the other day when he was doing sim games or whatever. Yeah, I think they said he hit 11 homers yesterday in live BP. 11 homers in 23 bats or something like that. 23 pitches more so. So you like that. We like 49 and 9 in the super chats from Raul Navar. Wow. So school was raking. Tanner Scott is who we thought he was. Teo and Tucker look good. Gonna be great.

Probably going to great. Yeah, how have we made that a shirt, by the way? I know. What's going on with that, Sarah? By the way, if you guys do want some sweet, sweet DT swag or I guess it's less so DT swag, this is stuff you could find over on the foul territory shop. You can check out the shirts they got there. It's getting that QR code. It also goes to helping out, self and support the network. And you got scoop in there. You got Yamamoto, your game three started. I have a moto shirt. It's sick. I love it. I know. It was plenty. I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you did, if you're watching the game. If you saw Tarrick Scoobles interview with our own Ken Rosenthal, check out Fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal. He also appears often on foul territory. But Ken was just asking about the, because I believe that Tanner Scott has the, all of his posties and victories have come on the road. So he's not used to hearing home fans cheer in terms of the parties in, because he's never been at Camarica, right? So here, obviously, home fans are chink for him. And he's like, it's very similar, Scoob is very similar to Boo.

I thought that was a very funny comment from him, but it's nice that he was able to get the home fans behind him and also get some run support, because that's not something that Tanner Scott has had in his previous post season appearances with the T-Greys. Yeah, yeah, 100%. And yeah, playing at home, being the first guy on the mound because you are the home team. It's a different kind of, you know, a different kind of feel. And of course, right away, I'm joking around in my Discord chat telling people, it's like, oh, it gives up to lead off home or to Tarrick Scoobles. I mean, to Drake Baldwin, why is it not Yamamoto getting game one? Yeah, he always got a question, the team, and the decisions and all that kind of stuff, but we don't question a one-nothing series advantage. Also, guys, don't forget, before we look ahead to game two, which we're gonna do that here momentarily on Dodger's territory, the Special Post-Amp edition.

You got a game to look at. We got a game two to look at, Alana. You guys know this whole series is gonna be on Fox. We'll talk more about that coming up in a little bit game two. Tomorrow, 5 p.m. Pacific time on FS One. We know Blake Snow gets the ball for the Dodgers for game two. They say, you know, it's an FS One. It is game two. He gets the ball for game two. You said it right. You said it right. I don't pay attention to myself. Who would do that? But nobody knows. I don't, as much as this is, you know, a conversation, a pretty big conversation for fans right now.

Like why is more so? Why is Yamamoto not getting game two or even game one? I do not hate. We've said this for a while. There's no right answer. There's no wrong answer when it comes to pitches in the series and what order the one, two, three pitches in the series. And Blake Snow gets the ball tomorrow. You like it. You hate it. How do you feel about it? I'm okay with it. I don't think that it matters if Crystal goes or not. If I'm the brave as I saved Chris sale the game three, I don't run him out there tomorrow because tomorrow is not a must win game. Obviously game three would be a must win game if the Dodgers win game two. But I love Blake Snow. He has a great postseason record. Remember, I highly, highly, highly believe the Dodgers won the 2020 World Series because Kevin Cash pulled Blake Snow. We couldn't do anything against him in 2020 when the team was in Texas in the bubble during COVID, all the things. But I love him in game two. He's a dog on the mound. He's healthy. He obviously missed a lot of time this year. But this is what this team is built for.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not built for the regular season. They always do well in the regular season, but it's the postseason in which this team was built for. And Blake Snow wasn't needed in the regular season. They won 100 games. So this is good. I like him in game two. I love Yama in game three. I mean, that would be on the road, right? Yeah. So that would land to it, which I don't necessarily love that. But whatever. I'm fine with, I'm fine with Snow. I'm fine with it. I love it. I don't see it as a disrespect to Yama Motto. I'm just kind of commenting on what EBVHAWG said. Appreciate the comments, guys. Love the discussion. Doyer's disrespected Yama Motto. Bad. He's your ace and saved your ass in 2025. And this is how you treat. I don't see it that way. I just see it as a matchup thing. Obviously I like back in the lefties up against one another. I'm like, I'm going to take a school bull. Blake Snow plus their boys now. I feel like if you didn't start Blake Snow, he'd cry. No, I'm kidding. So I don't mind it. I don't think Yama feels disrespected.

I think Yama is a team player. He's one of 26. He's the World Series MVP. And whenever you throw him out there, he's going to do the job. And what I love the most about him, and I'm not trying to jinx him, is the man posts every single time. He's healthy and he shoves. And you don't have to worry about him missing time. So I like this. And I like the fact that we don't know who's going tomorrow. That means that they're struggling. They're struggling with their rotation. They don't know who's going tomorrow. Hey, don't. We can look here on this particular asset. I'm throwing up on the screen here. Yeah, it's a TBD. And that's, we're talking about a TBD in NLDS game two. That's what I'm talking about. That's so insane that you're so broken, as for lack of a better phrase. Because Atlanta is a good team. I'm not trying to be disrespectful. But you're so disjointed on how you got into the postseason that you're not even sure who the best option is when it's just game two of the NLDS.

Because you had to play in the Wildcard series. And you didn't address your rotation stuff. So you had to use sale or excuse me, your bullpen stuff. So you had to use sale coming out of the bullpen, even though a lot of people said, why wasn't this necessarily a good idea? But listen, I love it. I love a smell against. I'll take an elegant all TBDs. He, well, definitely. He is also, it's worth reminding everybody a two-time, Sai Young Award winner. And when he was on the mound outside of his first game backer, his first start this year, when he was on the mound for this team this year, he was fantastic. And he was, somebody I was arguing could and should start game one. School Bull, I wouldn't say scuffled down the stretch. But he was, you know, he wasn't the tariff school but we were expecting down the stretch before he locked it in. And of course, locked it in game one. There is no right answer. Again, there is no wrong answer. But you feel real good about where this team is. And if you guys want to watch that game again, it's going to be on with our friends at Fox1. MLB on Fox is streaming on Fox1.

It's too many numbers altogether. Fox1, 3-day for each child at Fox1.com. Couple more little odds and ends to button up. Just quickly talk about the roster situation. Depala and Heson Kim, host way to Paula, Heson Kim on Alex call Alex Freeland off. And then the bullpen at Gardo Henriquez returns. We already mentioned Brock Stewart made it. And on his birthday, on his birthday, having birthday beef. And then no she in, no robo and no Jack Dryer. Any, any feelings about that? Me and I'm not surprised because he,

you know, we didn't need him in the starting rotation. And he's not necessarily a guy that's going to be adept yet coming out of the bullpen. I don't think I mean, that's not his strength, right? So that I'm not surprised there. Does not mean he won't be on in a seven game series. I think you can definitely see more pictures in a seven game series than obviously in a five game series. Jack Dryer, same reason, not necessarily surprised about that super stoked that Henriquez is back. He's my reliever of the year. I don't care. He's just been so tremendous and very underrated. Heson Kim makes sense, I guess. I don't know. I mean, I feel badly for Alex Call because he was on the roster the entire season. He knows. You know, yeah. And also I didn't follow. We know because he's been giving us really good at bats, the energy, those types of things. So I mean, again, you're going to piss off somebody. But hopefully these guys understand that they're part of the big picture overall. And there will be, you know, they're part of the quest to get to three, but you only can take 26 guys. And with the depth that the Dodgers have

and the luxury that they have, I get it. There's nothing that was like, oh my god. You know, like how it would just. We had a feeling of what the 26 guys would look like. But as this team maintains, even from day one, it's spring training. It's a lot more than 26 guys on the everyday roster. It's a lot more than the 40 men on the 40 man roster. A lot more than the 60 plus people they have in that room when they enter spring training. And the Dodgers do a fantastic job of preaching that. As you very well know, having been a part of so many of those early camelback ranch meetings there. So I don't think anybody's upset. I think Alex Cole is happy to be there, happy to be a part of the team in some capacity hanging out with the boys. He still gets to eat good. He still gets to drink good along the way. And he still gets a ring. And, you know, he understands his role. I mean, he's a role player. He's not a superstar. He understands that front of the show. He's been on the show. Great guy to talk to.

Great guy to kind of pick his brain. Listen, like I said, I say, listen way too much. There's 26 spots. And that is it. He understands that his role is not in the NLDS. Does not mean the CS and World Series are not on the table. We just don't know. It depends on who we match up against and what the needs are, health, all the things. So a couple of others, super, not super chats, but chats I wanted to get to here. We do have one, another one for a man. I want to throw that up. Oh, wait. Oh, N even for a girl. Sorry, wrong one. There we go. There's from the Super. Yes, they did. The boys came to play. Love the focus. Love the grit. One and one. Ten to go. Let's do this. LFG. I love you. Oh, you got a softball in there too, Nancy Brown. All right. So a couple of things in here. So see who's in his, I don't know how to say that. I'm probably saying it wrong. Wanted to know what wine I was drinking. It's garbage. It's like Kim Crawford, Savon Young Blanc. It's nothing exciting. Also wanted to know who is in the. The. Nobody asked about my twisted tea. How about it? How about you to eat some for us for God's sake?

I'm also wanted to know who is in the picture with me. Come on, man. That's the late great Vince Skully. My man, the best guy in the whole world. So that's who they're. That's who's. And did you see? I think it was yesterday, 10 years ago. Oh, he said he's like a wife. He's a wife. We go last time on the broadcast. It's still like, you know, got dusty in the room again. Because I'm saying to think. Yeah. After 67 years in the booth and. Yeah, spending, you know, obviously your relationship was a lot different there with, uh, with Vin. I mean, you grew up with him. Yeah. I didn't have a opportunity. I didn't grow up in Southern California. So with us, you know, special relationship with him. What made what made Vince so great was that, you know, he was family. He was a friend like you do you spent over the summer? You spent each night hanging out with your friend Vince Skully, who was gonna tell you about what's going on in the game and. And tell you stories about these people, these players, you know,

obviously this booth we have now is fantastic. I love Joe Davis. I love Steven Nelson. But yeah, to hear one more Vince Skully game, like even, you know, we talked recently about the old, you know, no more four plus one game and all of that. Here in Vinny, call that and even getting some of the Charlie Steiner call in there. It's still like, I miss you, Vin. We, we all miss Vin. Final, final things, final two things before we get out. By the way, my buddies are over live on all Dodgers. I'm going to join there. We'll keep the conversation going and all of that kind of stuff. But you knew it was coming, Riz. People saying Dodger Stadium was so empty. It was fucking hot. And a lot of people were under the concourse. Yeah, it was 100 degrees. I, you know, Dodger fans have always. For years and years and years have been said to not show up until late. They leave early, all the things. I was a little surprised at the empty seats. I get it. It is 100 something degrees.

But I will say this too. It wasn't because ticket prices were high. If you looked on SeatGeek, the Dodgers, the NLDS had some of the best pricing. And let me say this too about the Dodgers organization. Because I know everybody wants to talk about how much tickets are in this set and the other. And I get that. But the Dodgers to their credit did what they could is they couldn't, they couldn't control the weather. They didn't choose the 1pm Pacific start time. OK, the week was wet. So they handed out water to every single person that came into the game, free water. So good for them. You know, they didn't have to do that. I understand they should do that. But a lot of a lot of teams do not. So it's not. I get it. But you know what? No excuses tomorrow, guys. OK, got a 5pm start and 8pm start on the East Coast. Let's get there. Let's fill the stadium. Let's show the boys that we appreciate them. And take game two and then it's just one more. One more. The last thing I want to say quickly. This I'm going to talk shit about Dodgers about this.

$65 to park. No, just no. OK, that's done. No, well, gas is, you know, $6, $7 a gallon right now. I saw $7 over $7 today for a gallon of gas. And it's starting to like, it's really bad here too, not California bad. But in Massachusetts, it started. Like we're up to like $6. Like for here, that's like, what? But anyway, yeah, that's insane pricing. So do it like in the old days when you went to the drive-through. You put 79 people in your trunk and try to get in. That's the way you can squeeze the money. They'll know. You might drive you across the scale to see who's in there. But guys, we appreciate you hanging out with us. Subscribe again if you haven't done it. Hit the thumbs up. Share with friends, all that kind of stuff. We'll be back tomorrow post game. Dodgers, be up to nothing in the series. Bye guys. We'll see you then.
