To hear this and more, listen to Keep It Posit, Sweetie, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And that is why I think this team is so poised to go to the World Series. It's hard to pick the MVP, and that's a good thing.

That's a good problem to have. Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to a fresh and live edition of Dodgers Territory, post-game edition on what is a wonderful. wonderful day for us in Queens, maybe not for Met fans. I am Alon Arizzo. That is the birthday boy, Clint Paceas. I tell you what, it has been feast or famine, boom or bust as far as the offense, whether it's gone for the Mets or whether it's gone for the Dodgers. What a tremendous outpouring of offense for the Dodgers today. They take a three to one advantage in the NLCS birthday boy. What is your take?

I like winning more than I like losing. This team is very fun to watch. Even when it's not firing on all cylinders, it feels like everybody's kind of firing on all cylinders. Mookie, breakout game of all breakout games today, picks up five hits or four hits, can't even get us that fifth hit today. So DFA Mookie.

Yomamoto does what he's supposed to do. We would like to see this team, you know, the starters go deep. Alana, you and I are both fans of old school, baseball. They call it old school now, but we would love to see guys pitching into the six, seventh, eighth inning, maybe a complete game. But four innings, four and a third out of guys like Bueller, out of guys like Yamamoto. That's what this team was expecting out of them entering this postseason, knowing that you can lean on that bullpen. And once again, that bullpen

absolutely shoving as soon as you kind of, you know, end that, that scoreless streak they had. They go fire up a nice little streak of more dominance. But a great game for this team all, all in all. And then you really highlight that that mooki. So do you want to dive into offense first? Do you want to dive into Yamamoto? Man, there's so much to dive into and that's a beautiful thing because we're diving into the positive pool, right? We're diving into the positive pool. Let's talk, let's just start because the day's momentum starts with the starting pitcher. So let's talk about Yamamoto. Again, you have been massive, massive Yamamoto fan. Clint's been like, woohoo, Yamamoto. I have to say, he did a nice job tonight. I was a little worried. He had some traffic on

the bases, but he figured it out, Clint. And I wanted Yamamoto to pitch against the Mets, as he did against the Yankees early on in the regular season in the Bronx. And he did, he did enough. He did enough with four in the third innings, four hits, the two or under runs. That's okay. He had the eight strikeouts just gave up one base on balls, one free pass. He did enough. And the offense supported him. That was a nice, complete game win. I feel that. Like it was like, okay, everyone's kind of contributing here. Yeah. When you say complete, game win. Of course, you don't mean complete game for Yamamoto. No, I didn't say he went nine innings, Clint. I'm saying complete game. Like everyone is kind of participating in the win.

Alana, you know how the internet is. And he didn't do a complete game. She said complete game and he only pitched four and a third. No. Every bit, every bit of a team wind we saw today. And like I said, people chipping in all up and down the lineup, even Chris Taylor getting in getting his, I think it's first start of the postseason. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but he chips in a little bit of something. Show Hey, Otani, by the way, gets us started in a big way right off the bat with a, you know, you hang it, we bang it sort of situation there, back-to-back homers for Shohei when you consider last night and then heading into this game. An important note, we haven't mentioned, by the way.

As the chat's in here, chat's going off. I appreciate you guys hanging out in the chat. Of course, like the show. Subscribe if you're not subscribed already. Rate and review our podcast. if you can, that helps us out a whole bunch. But we're talking about Shohei. Like we expect this team to lean on Shohei,

but it wasn't him today. It was Mooki. It was Tommy Edmund. Kike still doing things. And how about Max Muncie? He gets that FT boost, goes into superhuman mode. And I think what he tied Reggie Jackson for a postseason record,

12 straight. 12. That's insane. 12 straight played appearances in which he has reached base. That's incredible. Yeah. So Tony, I was like, oh, wow.

Hello, like the first pitch of the game. Otani is setting into the bullpen and then Mark Viantos answers. That's what you expect, right? It's like punch for punch. We talked about that today in our early show with James Shiana, who does the Mets Up podcast. And it's like punch for punch with these guys. But I tell you what, Shohei gets on the board.

Then Mark Viantos gets on the board. But Marcus Lynn Betts had an unbelievable day, four for six. You have, you know, Kike Hernandez, two for five. My X factor of the whole thing, Teasca Hernandez, oh for three today. but other guys are stepping up. Yamamoto did enough. I mean, Tommy Edmund, what a pickup. Two for six. I mean, the fact that Edmund got six at Bats. I mean, the betts is getting six. There's magic Johnson. Welcome to the party. I mean, I just love the fact that, I mean, there's like what, what a pickup. I mean, for Tommy Edmund, for the Dodgers to get him. This was a, this was a really, really fun game to watch. You guys, I'm a little nervous to say it, but the Los Angeles Dodgers are one win. away from a World Series birth and nobody can take this away from them because it's a 162 game season. There's no asterisk in this. This is this was an impressive win. The Mets are on their heels. They're nervous, I'm sure. But this was a really, really fun game to watch. Yeah, anybody who had any

worries, any concerns about this team entering the postseason. Of course, you and I had some worry some concerns about this the starting staff as everybody should they were they were missing a lot of pieces uh that would make up a starting rotation you lose uh glass now late in the season you lose gavin stone late in the season um we knew the offense we knew the bullpen we're going to be the catalyst to a potentially deep run this october and and the blueprint was there and once again we can't not have a show where we're not praising dave roberts for going to the right guys at the right time. Evan Phillips gets into a tough spot there in the, what was it the fifth inning, finds his way out of it. Henriquez getting in there, picking up two innings as well. I think it was

Blake Trinan in an inning in a third. All the pieces are set in place. And now we, you know, you just said, you know, one went away from a postseason birth, sorry, from a World Series birth, which we see on the screen there. And we were talking during the game a little bit about the whole rest versus rust. I'm, listen, I'm going to be going all in on. what you said a couple days ago, a couple weeks ago, you got to just keep applying the pressure. Don't let them back in this series at all. I don't want to see the Dodgers playing weekend any games on the weekend. You rest up. Freddie needs a rest up. By the way, all these runs, 10 runs. No, Freddie Freeman. No, I don't know. I don't know about that. I don't know that I want them to have that much time off.

I love the fact, like, okay, like, Jack Flaherty goes tomorrow. Perhaps the Dodgers like finish it out. I don't think they're going to win three games at City Field. But let's just say they do. Let's say Jack Flaherty goes tomorrow. they win the game, they win the series, but that's too much time off. I understand that you want Freddie Freeman's ankle to heal. I understand that you want Miguel Rojas, that grain situation to heal. But I don't want the Dodgers to have five games off. Like it's too much. You want to keep them going.

It's not that I want the Mets to win a game, but I also don't want the Dodgers to have that much time off. It makes me a little bit nervous. Like I think they need to keep this going. I think they need to keep the momentum going. Do I want them to win? Of course. Would I mind if the Mets won a game?

And it forced a game six in L.A. to have no. All right. Thank you so much. Mr. John Rod 77, the 199 Super Chat. Hit the like button for the, let's hit the like button for the birthday boy. My boy, like, do you have like noise? Hit any. There is.

the podcast, if you knew better with Amber Grimes, spotlights women who turn missteps into momentum and lessens into power. I think coming out of where I came from, I'm from the Bronx, I think I grew up really poor. I didn't know that then because I very much used my creativity to romanticize life. And I'm like, my mom did a really good job of like, you step back and you're like, whoa, we, I don't know how we made it. So a lot of my life was like built out of like survival to get to the next place. Like my drive, my like tunnel vision of like I got to be better.

I got to achieve this was off the strengths of like I want to. to make a better life for us. If You Knew Better brings real talk from women who've lived it, unpacking career pivots, relationship lessons, and the mindset shifts that changed everything. Listen to If You Knew Better with Amber Grimes on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We had another super chat, by the way, from Mr. John Rod. You know, a win is a win who cares about the number of innings pitch.

And I was talking about this on my Discord chat during the game as well. you know you would love to have seen Dave kind of let Yamamoto go into that fifth inning but at the same time this is the blueprint this is the plan get a lead and let the bullpen do its job let the bullpen work that's why you have all these guys sure you'd love to have bruisedar graderol in there you'd love to have um Alex Vessia in right in there right now but they're finding ways and let's be fair I mean honestly if you put if you put up 10 freaking runs like you can roll anybody out there. If you can, if you have, if your offense gives you that much run support, you have the liberty to attack the zone. If you make a mistake, it's not the end of the world. So you can

try some things. You can do some things. You can attack the hitter. You can force the issue. That's what is so beautiful about the offense that the Dodgers have because they give their pitchers some liberty and some ability to do some things. Yamamoto, four and a third, four heads, two or and runs, one walk, eight Ks. I'll take it. I'll take it. And every single Dodger reach based safely tonight be a hit or a walk. I will flip and take that. A 10 runs, you know, a 10 run spot. Like, I'm out. I'll take that any day of the week on the road. Are you out of your mind? I'm good. I'll take it. Yeah, this is exactly what you play for. I mean, taking the Mets fans out of it early as well. You know, we, when we talked to James Chiano earlier, I kind of felt bad asking the

question, like, is this still, you know, a successful season if you get bounced here? And he didn't really seem interested or ready to answer that question, which I fully expect. Your team is still in it. They very much can win the next, you know, three games. That's not out of the realm of possibility. I'm choosing hubris this postseason. I'm choosing to believe, throw all my cards on the table, throw all my chips in that the Dodgers are better than everybody that's left in the postseason right now, including the New York Mets. They are a very, very good baseball team. They got the pieces. They got the, the aura, I'll say it again. They got the bravado to keep going. But we've seen three one upsets before.

So maybe there is a point where you kind of, you know, cool your chest, at least a hair, but I'm not ready to do that. You got Jack. I don't think so. Like, I'm sorry. The Dodgers had more runs today than the Mets have had in the entire series. I just, I said this before and I wish we can run this back, not today because I know you're struggling with the, the button pushing at your birthday and you're drinking, you're drinking a Moscow meal. Good. I'm feeling now.

My point is I said this. I said if they could get over the DS, excuse me, if they could get through that, if they could get through the first freaking round where they had to beat the Padres. They could get through that. They were going to the World Series. I was not worried about the championship series. And I truly believe that. Like getting over that hump, that bugaboo that's, you know, they've been bounced in the first

round of the last two seasons by divisional opponents. I was like, if they get through that, which they did, they beat a very good Padres team. I was not worried about the CS. Now they're going to the World Series. and I'm not worried about them in the World Series. But I don't necessarily want them to have all of their runs in one game. You know, when it was 9 to nothing and now it's 10 to 2, it's like, okay, let's spread it out a little bit. But again, the run support is very helpful for your pitchers to be able to be aggressive.

Yeah, that's funny. We got a note from producer Sarah here saying Dodgers had more runs today than the Mets have in this entire series. I literally just said that. This is why you're not paying attention. Things happen. I'm trying to make us look pretty here. But on top of that, you know, what's a great baseball adage we usually live by? It saves some runs for tomorrow.

That hasn't been an issue at all in this series. It has not been an issue. And I hope it's not tomorrow. I've seen some people as well on the internet machine, you know, wondering. They're questioning, do you go flarity tomorrow? And this kind of goes into what we're talking about with some rest. Do you go flarity or do you go bullpen again? I'm all in on flarity.

Okay. So you're all in on flarity because you figure you close it out tomorrow. and then you have the rest for Freddie Freeman's ankle for Miguel Rojas is growing. I don't know. I don't know, actually. Yes, you can't assume anything, right? So you don't want to assume that they're going to win the series, right? So I understand Flaherty is your best option to win game five and move forward.

And I did say, by the way, Dodgers in five. I just want to put that on the record, Dodgers and five. Because I thought the freaking, you know, championship series was five games. but I don't know what do you do you you you think you think no like what do what's your what's your thought about that you you run flarity out there you do you got to just keep you got to keep applying the pressure that's where I'm at right now don't let them get back in this series in any way you have the upper hand you have your ace ready to go who completely shut them down in game one I could understand the flip of it like if you're really trying to force set things up I think

It almost feels like it's old Dodgers. It's kind of you're trying a little too hard where you hope to get a bullpen game in and then you save Flaherty for a game one of a world series as opposed to running Walker Bueller out there. Listen, that's trying too hard right now. End the series now if you can and your best bet is Walker or sorry is Jack Flaherty over a bullpen game. Oh, for sure. I mean, yes. If you're going for the win, you want you want Flaherty over.

a bullpen game. Yeah, I mean, again, you don't want to take anything for granted. You don't want to assume. But there's a very real possibility. And James Chiano of our Mets' stuff, podcast family, does not want to hear it with this. But there's a real possibility the Dodgers sweep the Mets out of their own stadium and win this thing in five games. And go back to Dodgers, you know, go back to L.A. And we're like kind of waiting to see what happens in the ALCS.

Yeah. I mean, this was a good game. I wasn't stressed at all. I love watching games in which I'm not stressed. Alana, you want to know where the stress completely left my body. It was right here. Mookie Betts destroys a baseball. The exuberance.

Listen, we've seen Mookie Betts. He had the pain of the Ofer to start the postseason. We saw him break out with, you know, finally get the Homer past jerks and pro far as a glove. Then it's been a little bit of hit and miss here and there. That this today, absolutely. his welcoming party. This is his breakout game. We haven't seen postseason mooky like this in quite some time. And when you have mooky bets going. I don't think we've ever seen mokey like this in the postseason. Not like this. What is it? Your friend Jerry Harrison Jr. likes to say,

mooky, mooky, can't you see sometimes your swings just hypnotize me? I hate that line. It's such a stupid line from Jerry. Love Jerry. Such a terrible line. But one of the things I love, you heard on the field mic there, they says, somebody in the dugout, said, you know, we go as you go or whatever it was. We find the exact quote. But, you know, we go as you go. Mookie is that spark plug and he's been that spark plug. Yeah, you go, we go.

He's been that spark plug for the last couple of years for this team. He struggled the last couple of years for this team. Now he's got a nice new shiny toy in front of him to help him out, take a little bit of pressure. And now he's going out there. He's having fun, you know, our producer, Mark and I were talking before going on live here. And Mark was saying, I bet he's not taking 400, 500 swings anymore. because he's feeling loose he's feeling happy that mooky we just saw in that clip that's it that's a that's an excited boy on the on the baseball you know what's crazy though is you need your stars to be

stars and they were tonight show hey was mooky was freddie wasn't in the lineup so that's fine dave roberts giving him a blow because his ankle is about to fall apart and i also feel bad for brandon nimmo because his freaking planter fasciitis that just hurts me think i mean he like cussled to first space like the poor guy you know watching watching brandonimo and freddie freeman it's like i feel like i'm watching a geriatric commercial but i i mean honestly like your stars have to star otani did betts certainly did tonight i mean this is what you expect this is where they lacked last year obviously we didn't have o tony last year but bets was not great in the postseason last year freeman was not great in the postseason last year and they have shown up they've showed up this year

especially mooky butts. And this is exactly what you expect and what you need from a guy that's making a gazillion dollars. We need to apply pressure and choke him out. Yes, Mike's true box. That's what I said. It was the same thing I said. Like if you see your opponent drowning, shove a hose in their mouth.

And I agree with that. Richard Flores, man, I love this dude. He like sponsors Dodgers territory. $199 from him. It's real simple. You kick their time score.

A.S. Yes, sir. Does the Dodger Stadium parking lot still suck? That's just all I need to know. know, and F the ghost owner as well. Hey, here's,

here's an interesting, not a, that's not interesting point, but it's real easy, and I've been this guy on, doing these shows for, for so long on the internet here. Usually you focus on the little things

that went wrong or something that could have been better. I don't know exactly where you improve. Yeah, Teoska Hernandez is O for the series. You'd like to see him kind of get off the Schneide, but if they're winning, if they're figuring out how to get through this, let,

Max, you know, Muncie pick him up. Let Tommy Edmund. By the way, clean-up hitter Tommy Edmund today. Let him pick him up. You know, and let the whole team pick up Freddie Freeman the way they did today. Make him not feel bad about needing a day off. I love this team. This is a phenomenal team.

It's a great group of dudes. And they got the right guy at the top of Dave Roberts. Come check this. I heart and TikTok have come together to create something new. I love it. Where the world of TikTok meets your playlist. Three words that will change your life. I heart TikTok radio.

Should I be concerned that Teoska Hernandez was my X-Factor and he has not done a ton in the postseason? Is he going to come up massive in the World Series? Because at this point, we're going. Like, there's no way the Mets are coming back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. There's no way the Mets are coming back from a three to one deficit.

Even if the Mets win tomorrow, they're not going to win two games at Daughter Stadium. So let's assume the daughters are going to the World Series. Okay. The system the daughters are going to the World Series. I'm going to assume the Mets are going to the World Series. I'm going to assume they're playing the Yankees, massive props to David Fry for coming off the bench and hitting the home run and, you know, to put the guardians above the Yankees. That was a bananas game. I don't know if anybody was watching that prior to flipping over to the Dodgers, but that was an insane game. Let's assume it's Yankees and Dodgers, which the networks love. That's what the world wants, right? Am I, is, is Tay Oscar showing up there? Was I wrong in picking

him as the X factor? He's been the Dodgers MVP, in my opinion, all season long. Has hasn't done a ton in this postseason, but the guys around him have factored into it. And there's going to be a place for him. I'm telling you, whether it's in game, you know, game five tomorrow or in the World Series, there's a place for Tay Oscar. Yeah, I mean, we saw him in the NLDS doing big things, good things for this team. It's baseball to borrow from Mani Machado. That's just baseball.

I knew you were going to say that. That's how it goes. You know, sometimes guys are, you know, they have their cold spells. Maybe, you know, maybe the moment, I wouldn't, I don't feel like the moment got too big for Teo or anything like that. I think he's just in a cold spell right now, maybe trying to get a little too big. But thankfully, somebody else flipped the switch in Max Muncie where it's not that big of a deal to see Tay Oscar go, oh for the series so far. Maybe he breaks out tomorrow. I think the Mets are throwing a bullpen game.

Imagine your season being on the line with the bullpen game. That's why I don't want the Dodgers to run a bullpen game. as well because you know then you got if it's flarity and then bullpen potentially on on sunday and then monday could be buller it's like you got to just end this shit now but to your point or to your question to your thought there i'm not worried about to you asker he's going to get that chance like you said in the world series because these boys are going to the biggest stage all right so we've had a lot of guys that have stepped up if you're going to make early predictions for NLCS MVP because again we're going to the world series I'm over this I'm over the

stupid championship series who is your NLCS MVP um I feel like I should think harder on this but I don't really want to think harder on this the position that Tommy Edmund is in having to take over a shortstop he's getting big hits every single game he's whether you know he's bunting somebody over or actually getting a hit we saw a a big, I think it was a two-run double for him tonight. He did get a double at the bare minimum, unless I also messed that one up. But he's getting big hits and doing big things.

And again, he's also playing a really, really good shortstop, something he didn't need or he wasn't playing a lot of shortstop to end the season, you know, and he barely played any baseball this year as it is, you know, a month and a half healthy coming back from, you know, all of the injuries, the wrist thing and then the ankle thing. I think that's a good show of, one, how impressive this trade deadline was for Andrew Friedman, Brandon Goams and company. And two, I mean, obviously the Dodgers can't vote on who the MVP is of this NLCS. But it would, to me, it's kind of showing like, this is how important you are.

We are welcoming you into our club, you know, the boys club that has show hay that has, you know, Buckey Betts that has Max Muncie. But we feel like you're the most important guy. And he is that guy who's all of a sudden playing shortstop, the hardest position on the field. And he's doing it looking pretty damn good doing it. Yeah, it's crazy because when we had the trade deadline acquisitions, obviously, of the Jack Flaherty, the Tommy Edmund, the Michael Copick. I was very like, I don't know about this Tommy Edmund kid. He hasn't played in a long time. He's been hurt.

But he has been tremendous. And here's the beauty of the question, though. Here's the beauty of the question. There's so many guys that it could actually win the NL CS MVP. You look at what Max Muncie has done. 12 straight plate appearances, like that he's gotten on base. That's pretty impressive. Tommy Edvin, obviously, we've discussed what he's done.

Kike Hernandez is just the guy in October. You know, Moki Betts what he did today. O time. There's a lot of guys that can get it. And that is why I think this team is so poised to go to the World Series. There's so many guys that are contributing that it's hard to pick the MVP. And that's a good thing. That's a good problem to have when there's like,

oh, who could get it? Because there's so many different dudes contributing. Mm-hmm. Got a great super chat here. Christopher Navarro, $10 super chat. Thank you very much. We'll hit the gong for that one. Happy birthday, Clint.

Thank you very much. And says, what do you think Machado and Tatis are doing these days? Aren't they playing the cancun? Spending their cash, man. They're spending their cash. They're spending time with the familia. What was the thing? What was they had that?

Like, make my money or something like that? No, no, no, no, that was the whole show me my money. And then like they'd go around. There was one dude that like, yeah, they didn't cheer for it. All right. Hey, guys, smash the like, went and for Clint. Yes, Diane, you never even told me if you got your baseballism gear that I sent you. I need you did like.

She did. Hey, we got an important from, we got a celebrity in the house here. What's in the glass, Valana? This is a scout and seller wine. I am a scout and seller consultant. This is the dove hunt dog Savignon Blanc. Oh, nobody's asking me what's in my mule mug. I did.

I'm assuming Richard Flores, Richard, you should know better. My name is spelled with two ends. All right, Dick Flores, figure it out. It's my guy, Richie there. This is rum and ginger ale, because that's what I had laying around in here. I need to make a booze row. I just sent you a nice, nice bottle of bourbon. I'm just waiting for you to get it.

It's like stuck in customs or something. I sent it and it's like stuck somewhere. So if you get it, maybe the bottle is going to be smashed, but whatever, I sent it to you. It's a thought that you appreciate that. But let's get some final thoughts on this one. So we all know we want to crush the, crush the Mets tomorrow, even if it means you have a few extra days off before the start of the World Series. Again, I'm good with that. Larry, go for the junk.

Freddy's going to be back in that lineup. And then you have the happiest flight back home to L.A. and you got a weekend off where they can still party, be with the boys. And one of the things I do that takes some of the fear away for me is I think they figured out how to deal with the layoff. You know, the last couple of years having those five games off, they came out. They looked really, really flat. We've heard about all of the, you know, the Boys Club type stuff happening. They're staying together.

They're saying, you know, wags get out of here. We're going to be with just each other. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You didn't hear about the bus from San Diego. Just the boys. Just the players. Whoa, whoa. Wow.

First of all, I can't stand that phrase, okay? Let me tell you something. Happy wife, happy life. Like, calm down on the wags. Get out of here. It's just an expression. It's wives and girlfriends. Yeah, I'm well aware of what wags stands for.

What is the biggest key for ending this tomorrow? Stomp them out. Just keep applying that pressure. Flaherty shove and somebody, whoever is going to be the hero, tomorrow you keep it going whether that's going to be another you know show bomb whether that's going to be max munsy whether it's going to be will smith another guy we're not talking enough about calling great games getting a bunch of credit from this pitching staff from dave roberts well you know deservedly so but the bat kind of forgot the bat he kind of forgot the bat since he joined us here on

dodgers territory but oh i don't want to throw that out there we love will smith but that's what i got to We're having some fun. All right. So flarity goes, let's say flaredity goes six. I can do that. Yeah. Bring in the bullpen. And then you have guys that continue to hit like they did.

I do believe that the Dodger will close us out tomorrow. I really do. I don't necessarily want them to just because I can't stand the layoffs. But I do. Like the Dodgers just have the juice right now. So all right. That's good. All right.

So don't forget that we are having. a watch party tonight. Okay. And the series tomorrow, Joe Man. Okay. That's that's tomorrow. Yes. Remired. Yeah. So our time. Territory is having a watch party. Alcissus game 4. 8 p.m. Eastern Brent Rooker, Vinnie Pasquintino joining the party. Other current M.L.B. players will be joining Rooker and Pasquentino on the watch party tomorrow. It's going to be a lot of fun. I tell you what, when you watch a foul territory show, it's just a good time because they can do and say whatever they want. It's just a good time. Clint Paceus, I hope. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. I'm so happy to be on this show with you. Dodgers are doing well

for your birthday last night. They won. They won for you tonight. Enjoy the rest of the evening. We were going to, we'll figure this out. Are we having a postgame show tomorrow? I don't know. That's the one thing we didn't figure out. If we are, I might be already a little bit drunk. I am having a party tomorrow night. But also, the party continues tonight, guys. If you want to join me over on the All Dodgers YouTube channel post post game show starting just a few minutes after this. Load up the load up your drinks. It is a thirsty Thursday stream.

So let's have some fun together. Dodgers one win away from a World Series birth. And that feels pretty. I know. We're going. We're going back to the World Series. It's been a while. And there's no asterisks.

It just there's no asterisk. All right. Have a great night. Thanks for being with us. Don't forget to like, subscribe. We're just five stars. Don't forget to listen to all Dodgers with Clint Piscis. Happy birthday, Clint. I will see you either tomorrow night for postgame or next week. All right.
