Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm Clayton Eckerd. In 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. But here's the thing. Bachelor fans hated him. If I could press a button and rewind it all I would. That's when his life took a disturbing turn. A one-night stand would end in a courtroom. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. This is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
Starting point is 00:00:27 I'm Stephanie Young. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. The perpetrator was sentenced to 99 years until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:01:07 Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove. So recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, from routines to recovery, true lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's surreal and raw. And it's something I really admire about her. I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67, that I have the perspective that I have at my age to really be able to put all of this into context. Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's one thing, like, this wasn't even fan interference. This was like assault and battery. Yeah, that's a salt. Look, loki was like, what are you doing? You can tell he was so pissed, right?
Starting point is 00:02:00 Hello, everybody, and good evening. Welcome to Dodgers Territory. Another brand new, fresh live edition of your favorite program. That is Clint Pesias. I am Alana Rizzo. We're going to be with you for this postgame show. Listen, it wasn't all going to be rainbows and puppy dogs and, you know, cotton candy. I mean, it's okay that they had a little bit of adversity today.
Starting point is 00:02:21 It is now a three-to-one World Series tally, but that's all right, because I did not that they were going to get swept. It's okay. Like, you know, heads pets are not falling off. It's going to be our right. You would hope that they'd win the bullpen game. They've won two of three prior to coming into this game and now it's two and two. But that's all right. It's going to be fine. You got Garrett Cole going tomorrow. You got Jack Flaherty going tomorrow. You seem stressed. What's up, Clint? No, no, I mean, I'm not terribly mad at this game. I would strongly prefer to have ended it here. I think there were some opportunities. I see EC in the chats and so annoying. It was a bit of an annoying game. It felt like one of the Dodgers could have won.
Starting point is 00:03:04 If we haven't thrown Dave under the bus in a while for this one, I'm going to say a little bit, Dave made a lot of the wrong moves. Hudson getting in there, having absolutely nothing in the tank and leaving him in. It was painfully apparent Daniel Hudson had nothing left in the tank, but leaving him in there to face Volpe with the base. is loaded. The game was right there. The game was absolutely right there. I thought it was going to be Brent Honeywell getting his opportunity to shine for this team a little bit earlier. Honeywell comes in late. I don't even know if he was expecting to come in this game in the eighth inning. He goes and shits the bed really hard. But hey, the Yankees live to play on one more day. It's not
Starting point is 00:03:44 the end of the world like you said. But still, is it an opportunity or a possibility that maybe you have to look at this like, okay, not to say they were conceding the game. I am not saying that ever again. I will never say that they were conceding a game ever again. But, you know, maybe like, maybe this is a situation where it's like, okay, we're up three games to none. We know it's a bullpen game. We're going to do the best that we can.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Maybe we're just going to run some guys out there that don't have it tonight that are gassed. You got Jack Flaherty on the Hill tomorrow. Like, I don't know. I'm just not, I'm not that stressed about it. I'm really not. I'm okay with it. I mean, of course, I didn't want to lose, but I'm not, I'm not worried. I think we both felt pretty similar after, it was a game five in New York against the Mets. Like, yeah, you want to win that game.
Starting point is 00:04:34 You want them in them all. You want to win these bullpen games so far. If we're looking at, you know, storylines for this series for this particular game, you know, the bats come alive for the Yankees. And the bullpen game just, it was straight up backfire. two bullpen games in a row did not work out for the Dodgers even slightly. Dumb fans are dumb there in New York. We'll talk about that a little bit, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:04:58 But, hey, Dodgers in five. That's what we said. That's what I said entering this series. I felt it deep down in my core, but still. Yeah, but you also said the Dodgers are going to sweep. So I don't want to hear it. You say anything and then you're right. Okay, all of this stuff about J.R. saying Muncie needs to go, bench Lucks,
Starting point is 00:05:18 Jack will throw a dud tomorrow. You guys stop. Just stop. Stop with the negativity. You guys, they're up three games to one. You got Jack Clarity going tomorrow. Even if this goes three to two, even if it does. And it goes back to Dodger Stadium.
Starting point is 00:05:34 It's going to be okay. I mean, think about the fact that they already have a three-game advantage in this series. I'm all right with it. Okay, so Casperius, I did not think Casperius was going to start. I thought it was going to be Honeywell. I was totally wrong. But there was a lot of traffic for Hudson. I mean, there's a lot of traffic from three.
Starting point is 00:05:53 He gave up, you know, the four walks, the judge hit by pitch. That was not his finest outing. But you know what? That it's got to be a team affair. It's not just on Hudson. Yeah, Casperius, I'm not mad at. I think he did everything you'd expect out of a guy, out of a rookie, making his first career major league start in a World Series.
Starting point is 00:06:12 It was a seventh overall major league appearance. He did his part. Hudson is where the game was lost. thousand percent and then you would you would again i i would like to have seen honeywell there i don't even know that honeywell was fully aware that he was pitching late in the game he's got a he's got a he's got a little bit like walker bueller yeah it's a world series game but if he doesn't have like like that's something to get him you know get him going i think you know he kind of went in there was hoping just to kind of guide his way through three quick outs save some more uh you know
Starting point is 00:06:45 bullets for tomorrow or whatever. But so not there there are some spots that you can do over. There are spots. That's not how baseball works. I understand that. But if you have an opportunity to win games like this, I think there really was an opportunity to win a game like this early on. I just feel like you got to do your best to capitalize. Of course, Freddie Freeman. That's the thing. That's the thing. I felt like once Freddie took that gave the team the lead with that two run shot, I was like, oh, here we go again. Like it just felt so. similar, right? It's like, my goodness, six straight world series games in which this man has hit a home run, four straight games that he's hit a home run in this particular world series. I mean,
Starting point is 00:07:24 it's just ridiculous. I was like, oh, I guess that's it. You know, like, we've kind of written the script already. But again, like, I just did not think the Yankees were going to go roll over. I didn't think, first of all, the fact that they're up three to one to me is huge. Like, I'm okay. I'm, I mean, let's, yes, would I have loved for them to have swept the Yankees right out of their building? Of course. but I'm not ready to push that panic button yet. I'm just not. No. It's definitely not a panic moment.
Starting point is 00:07:50 It's not a panic switch moment. But it is, you know, it's a painful moment. It's, it happened in 20. I feel like this happened in 20. The Kenley Jansen, who's the guy who did the running across the airplane mode thing? You know, they had that opportunity to win game five. And then Brett Phillips hits the walk off. and everything goes wild there.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Our pets were, heads were falling off there. Hold, I'm going to slow it down a little bit because I'm trying to get, trying to get through this one. I'm trying to not be crazy. I'm not trying to buy into the comments because I do understand. There's a lot of, there's a lot of negative comments. It's unbelievable. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Late one night. Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun. Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Germaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity.
Starting point is 00:09:06 The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age.
Starting point is 00:09:42 What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wag Agetten change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away from it
Starting point is 00:10:18 that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good people, what's up, what's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation
Starting point is 00:10:38 with actors and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta. I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before. At one point, I shut my laptop down. And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way.
Starting point is 00:11:00 And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what? And you said, dust off your mantle. And then I left and that was it. And then when all of that happened, I remember. the next morning. I think I wanted to, like, write you and go,
Starting point is 00:11:22 how did you know? Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And listen, I appreciate the passion of Dodgers fans. This is why I do love doing this stuff here on the internet, because some of these people are some of the smarter Dodger fans out there, and some are like, you know what, there is a lot of really dumb, stupid missed opportunities.
Starting point is 00:11:48 and some are like those idiots down the right field line who tried to rip a baseball out of Mookie Bet's hands. How stupid was that? Can we dive into that for a second? You know, yes, we can dive into that. We can dive into as much as you want, my, my co-host and my friend and my pal and my buddy. What the heck are these people doing? Like, it's one thing, like, this wasn't even fan interference. This was like assault and battery.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Yeah, that's assault. Mooky was like, what are you doing? You could tell he was so pissed, right? It's like, not only did they just like try it. It wasn't as if they were just trying to get the ball out of. of his glove. And look at this full trying to, you know, you know, justify it.
Starting point is 00:12:23 This guy was like grabbing the glove, trying to open the webbing of the glove. The other full grabbing his wrist. Are you at? So, okay, so these idiots pay, what, $1,000 to get in that seat, let's just assume. And now they won't get into Yankee Stadium,
Starting point is 00:12:38 hopefully, or any other major league baseball park ever again. And they shouldn't ever be allowed into a stadium ever again. Yeah, no, that was, that was very fucking, to watch. Seeing a lot of people the way they reacted to it, some Yankees fans being like, yeah, you know, you're doing a great job. No, that guy is a moron. He looks like the lowest kind of common denominator you can get out there just in terms of, you know, his ability to display intelligence. I'm sure he had plenty of Modello before the game or whatever. You know, Modello's full.
Starting point is 00:13:09 No, not Modell. That's for LA. That's for classy people. Whatever they drink in Modelo in New York. But my God, could that guy have looked anymore in New York? Oh, yeah, I'm just a student. the ball for Mookie. Look at me. I'm here. Dumbass. Anyway. Anyway, people... Yeah, Mookie was none too pleased about that situation. And he shouldn't be, but that's fine. All right. So we're going to move on to that. Let's talk about
Starting point is 00:13:31 the fact that... Hold on. Wait. Can we talk first for a second about how Munchy, you said Mookie, but I want to talk about Munchy because we got a super chat here about Munchy. Kind of a non-factor in the series as well. Automatic K right now. Muntsey, O for 12 in this series. two walks. We were hoping, I was hoping for a little bit more out of Max in this series, maybe, you know, getting on base. There's still more time. There's still at least one more game. But is there a DT curse after we had Kelly on?
Starting point is 00:14:01 No, no, no, no, no. Listen, not everyone's going to be firing on all cylinders one through nine. Yes, I think, you know, you know, Muncie sometimes is feast or famine. I mean, this is a guy that can be a strikeout guy or a home run guy, but he also is a guy that tends to get on base. I mean, his OBP is still decent, even if he's not. not, you know, even if he's not getting singles or whatever, getting base hits. Skanks were ready to roll. Geez, hi, Richard Flores. MLB should be embarrassed for the quality of played umpiring, sloppy game.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Dodgers played like they had a three to nothing lead if the Dodger Stadium parking lot. You guys need to get that on shirts if you haven't already. We're working towards it. Yeah, I, you know, again, this wasn't the most cleanly played game. It wasn't the most effective game. It wasn't the, you know, but you guys, like, I don't know. I'm just not concerned about it. I'm just, I'm not, I'm not that stressed about it.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yes, do you want a perfect game? Of course. Did you want Landon Nack? I mean, by the way, can we give Landon Nack? I mean, like, some flowers. He did decent job. Yeah, Lando absolutely very much the complete opposite of what we saw in his game two of the NLCS, where he was the Dan Hudson of that game.
Starting point is 00:15:16 But NAC did a great job to reset this, you know, or at least not burn the bullpen completely. I think he could have gone for the fifth inning. And that's where I have some frustrations about the use of Honeywell there because now you're relying on a gem or a deep outing from Jack Flaherty tomorrow. And that kind of has been a struggle. It's been a little bit of a bugaboo for Jack Flaherty this postseason pitching on regular rest. We'll talk more about tomorrow's game in a little bit. But you were talking about Shohei Otani. Shohei, he looks really, really compromised.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Did get a single, but that swing isn't right. He's not even running at full capacity. I have seen some on the Internet asking the question just aren't out there. Is there a world where maybe it's a better idea to have Shoah on the bench? See, I thought that today. I really did. I was like, okay, you know, you take a three to nothing lead in the series. Perhaps you sit show hey today.
Starting point is 00:16:18 But then you're like, okay, just having Shohei in the lineup against a rookie pitcher by the name of Luis Heel, like he's still a presence in your lineup. But it's obvious that show hey is compromised. It's obvious that he's hurting. It's obvious that he's like holding up, you know, the jersey so his shoulder doesn't rattle when he runs. You know, it's tough. It's tough to replace him in the lineup.
Starting point is 00:16:40 But I would imagine in his head he's afraid to swing because he's just anticipating the pain that the swing is going to cause. So yes, maybe that's a liability at this point. It depends on what happens tomorrow. You know, I don't know where I don't know where they go from here. If the Yankees come out and shove tomorrow and it goes back to Los Angeles for game six, I don't know. You can tell, though, that he's hurting. I mean, it's visible. It's obvious that he's hurting.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I mean, he is 12 for 15 in the World Series, and of course, the injury is partially to blame for that. Yeah, I think it's a lot to blame for that. Also, his first time here on this biggest stage, he's been on these big world stages before. But that injury, it's definitely, it needs to be a conversation the team is having. I still think a, you know, reduce Shoha Tani is better in the lineup. I think it makes the lineup a little bit better. He still induces that fear. to the Yankees, but if he can't extend and he can't really get to that pitch high in the zone
Starting point is 00:17:46 because it hurts his shoulder, that's going to be a problem. But it's not just Otani. You need more out of the bottom of the lineup. This has been a very, very homer, reliant series for the Dodgers. And that's where the rest of this postseason has been so much better for the Dodgers because they've been manufacturing. They've been scraping together, scratching, clawing to get some runs. And this one, it's almost all Homer. Thank you, Freddie Freeman, of course, but it's almost all home run reliant. And that's, that's a problem when guys like, you know, Edmund are going. We got the, numbers here. You know, Edmund's going one or over one, but he's getting his walks, but still, not much from Lux, nothing from Kiki tonight, nothing from Max Muncie, has already talked about.
Starting point is 00:18:31 A bunch of one for us at the top there. Yeah, I mean, showy Otony, two for 15 is not going to get it done. I mean, that's just not going to happen. But we talked about it the other day. We've asked a lot of our guests, you know, Juan Toribio and other guests too, like who was going to be the X factor for the Yankees, much like Tommy Edmund had been the X factor for the Los Angeles Dodgers. And tonight it was.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It was Anthony Volpe. I mean, you just saw that. Like I thought that that was like good comparison between Tommy Edvin and Anthony Volpe. I mean, this is a kid, obviously. Everybody knows that we've talked about it at Nauseum, about how he's a Yankee fan. He was in the parade, you know, in the crowd. for the parade for 2009 World Series win and he comes up massively huge tonight.
Starting point is 00:19:13 You know, Grand Slam. So, you know, again, like, I just, this is not the Savannah Bananas. Like, you don't expect this team to just roll over. Like, you know, I'm not surprised that they won a game. Like, I just don't think we need to be that freaked out about it. Yeah, I'm not freaked out, but you did give them an opportunity to wake up. You gave the Yankees an opportunity to wake up. And history remains on the Dodgers side in this scenario.
Starting point is 00:19:41 They enter today with a 3-0 series lead. They'll enter tomorrow with a 3-1 series lead. You still have to feel good about winning one more game, whether it be tomorrow, whether it be on Friday night in Los Angeles, where, yeah, as nice as that is, you'd rather have the series end in New York. But there's a lot of niceties. There's a lot of cool options or situations that happen.
Starting point is 00:20:05 if the series does come back to L.A. Still, I would rather not see the series come back to L.A. because that just means the Yankees continue to be awake or waken up with those bats. And that's something with the state of the Dodger lineup right now. I don't know that they can outslug this Yankees lineup if they're going on all cylinders. Just because we're missing some pieces. I think they can. I think it's fine.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Like, you know, I still don't think Aaron Judge is where he needs to be. Juan Soto is, you know, okay. And Juan Soto, to me, is a liability defensively. You know. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Tremaine Hudson. as the perpetrator. Germain was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth,
Starting point is 00:21:25 until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?
Starting point is 00:21:57 He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day? is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One Culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap,
Starting point is 00:22:25 scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove. So recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before. You know, at one point I shut my laptop down. And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way. And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what?
Starting point is 00:23:20 And you said, dust off your mantle. And then I left and that was it. And then when all of that happened, I remember the next morning, I think I wanted to, like, write you and go, how did you know? Listen to the Kusloff show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm not, I just am not concerned. I think again, like every day it all falls on the day's starting pitcher, right? So you got to assume that Garrett Cole's probably going to be the ace of the staff that he always has been. But I don't doubt that Jack Flaherty can do a, you know, a really good, enough to get the Dodgers where they need to be like, you heard Dave Roberts talk about it
Starting point is 00:24:02 yesterday in his post game press conference, or maybe it was this morning, whatever. He's like, we're just not, you know, we will not allow, and I'm paraphrasing obviously, but there's no way that we're not going to allow a parade to be in our city. Like we're not going to let up. They want this. Like, it's not, I'm, listen, if the Dodgers lose four straight games to the New York Yankees and they lose the World Series, I'll shave my head. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Somebody clip that. Seriously. Like, I will shave my head. Like, I don't, I mean, there's no way in the world the Dodgers are losing the World Series. There's just not. I agree. I appreciate.
Starting point is 00:24:39 But still, it's a bold statement. And we know how all of the... I have a lot of hair. I have a lot of hair. A lot of hair. And I will shave it. I will shave it. And Dodgers lose the World Series.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Let's pin it for a second. We're going to talk about game five and how the Dodgers can win game five. But first, Alana, why don't you tell these fine people about Mutt Dog? Oh, I'm happy to tell you about the Mutt Dog. Thanks so much for the Mutt Dog for being a partner of ours here on Dodgers territory. I tell you what, it's New York City versus L.A., but there's also two ways to give back. you guys the World Series season support animals and need no matter where your heart lies visit the muddog.com and choose from two special collections and this is how you can kind of define your loyalty the muddy paws drop so every purchase from this collection benefits muddy paws rescue in new york city obviously for the yankees show your love for the east coast but for the la fans the core collection proceeds from every core collection item go directly to my foundation gidreys guardian foundation in la so support the west coast
Starting point is 00:25:41 best whether you pick up the muddy paws drop or the core collection all purchases help save lives so which city are you backing this season obviously i would appreciate everybody checking out that core collection to benefit giddry's guardian but you know what when it comes to saving dogs i'm fine if you want to do the muddy paws drop too and benefit new york city too for the dogs in need there so thanks for muddy paws for being a part of the show today absolutely um so you put a bold statement out there. Shave your head if the Dodgers do not win this world series. I don't know if you saw, we, producer Sarah and I were talking about it before,
Starting point is 00:26:16 whether or not we should throw a full screen on it. But our friend, the real Bob Nightingale tweeting last night, Dodgers should be getting their champagne on ice. Those are just some of the worst things you see in these situations. Like I've tried to tame down the potential hubris, but I know the baseball guy. hate that kind of shit. They really do. You love the word hubris. You've said four times today between our pregame show. You're getting nervous. Don't be nervous. It's going to be fine.
Starting point is 00:26:49 It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. No, it's, yeah, I don't know why Bob does that stuff, but that's kind of his thing. I don't, you know, I still, I still think the Dodgers are going to be okay from Swell and Sossage. Hello, Alana and Clint from the Eastern Sea. Well, hello there, buddy. Thanks for being a part of the show. Appreciate you. What gives you the most, what gives you the most stress right now? You seem to stress. I don't know. There's a lot of buttons to push. That's, that's stressful. But Flaherty, Flaherty in this, in this postseason so far has struggled in that second game or that next game in a series. Yeah, it's kind of every other one for him, right? Yeah, and that's been a problem.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Like he opened the postseason with, I think he allowed four runs. And And he had that absolute gem, seven scoreless. Then it was eight runs over third. And they're like, oh, he was so sick. And then it turns out, oh, no, like mechanically, he was wrong. That's what I worry about. I worry about the mechanically. I worry about something just being off with him.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And then Cole, I mean, it's the same thing. Cole's going on regular rest, which these days feels like short rest in, you know, 2024. You hope as much as you know, you're worried about the Yankees getting to Flaherty, you really hope the Yankees are worried about, you know, the Dodgers getting to Cole in that spot. The Yankees have their backs against the wall. I understand that they have a little bit of life. I understand that Garrett Cole is going tomorrow and that's definitely who they want on the mound for them.
Starting point is 00:28:24 But the Yankees are not going to win three games in a row. like there's just no way in the world that the daughters are going to allow that to happen they're not like I agree but now little faith like don't worry like even again even if it goes back to dodgers stadium and it's game six on friday which happens to be as you mentioned Fernando valenzuela's 64th birthday maybe the dodgers win in game six six to four you hope you feel you feel as as good as you can uh the dodgers have a big time series advantage for sure but still Stranger things have happened in baseball. And as Vince Scully once told us in the history of the Dodgers, nothing has ever come easy.
Starting point is 00:29:05 So that's what I worry about. That is 100% what I worry about is somehow, some way the Yankees finding a way back into the series because their bats get going. But Choi Young in the chat says, we're winning tomorrow. And now I feel good. I feel like we're in a good spot. And let Freddie Freeman. If Troy tells you that, you're fine. but if you're a partner for 71 episodes tells you that, you're like, meh?
Starting point is 00:29:32 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. All right. That's fine. Listen, it's not you. It's me.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Oh, for sure. That I know. But listen, again, we're in a good spot. And that's the last bullpen game we're seeing. That's an important thing I'll leave everybody here with. That's the last bullpen game we see. Tomorrow, Flarity, after that, Yamamoto. If you need to go to a game seven, you got Walker F and Bueller.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Dodgers are in a very, very good spot. But the Yankees got this far for a reason. So that's where you do, you know, do have some worry. But Dodgers and five, that's what I said entering the series. And that's what I will hang my head on, hat on when we sign off here. All right. Very good. Don't stress Dodgers Nation.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Everything is going to be fine. I appreciate the fact that everyone wanted to sweep. I get it. I did too, but it's not going to happen. That's all right. We'll figure it out tomorrow. Thanks for being with us on Dodgers territory. Clint needs to take a breath or something.
