00:00Now, they're going to Queens for games 3, 4, and 5, and game 3 is tomorrow at Citi Field.
00:12It was anything but what you wanted to happen or thought would happen.
00:16The same thing happened to them that happened to the Mets in game 1.
00:19It was 6-0 before you could spit.
00:22Well, you know, the Dodgers have been done in by two big innings, and in the last two
00:27games the Dodgers have lost in the last four games, they've won three in the last four
00:31games.
00:32It's one inning, right?
00:34San Diego scored in one inning and beat them 6-5 that game, and it was basically one inning
00:40again.
00:41A little bit, listen, it was disappointing, Scott.
00:43I was on record.
00:44I would have started Walker-Buehler, right?
00:46I would have rolled the dice with Buehler yesterday and gone with this bullpen game
00:51on the road.
00:52I think they pushed the envelope a little bit too much.
00:54You know, it's one in the afternoon there.
00:57It's a quick turnaround.
00:58Just, you know, just roll the dice with Buehler, throw him out here.
01:01We're going to hope for the best because he's sort of the wild card start, but the Dodgers
01:05had opportunities after.
01:06Let's call it off what it is.
01:07They had the bases loaded twice with nobody out.
01:11They had, like, first and third with one out.
01:14They had second and third.
01:15They had numerous opportunities throughout the game.
01:18They couldn't come through.
01:20There's a lot of talk about the pitching, but the Dodgers' offense, you know, it's game
01:25by game in the playoffs, but something that's bizarre, a world where people are paying attention
01:29to this.
01:30Showy Ohtani is 0 for 21.
01:33The last 21 times he's come to the plate with nobody on base, yet when somebody's on base,
01:39Scott, he's six for nine the last nine bats.
01:43So it's not like being reflected, you know what I mean?
01:46Because he cashes in when guys are on base, so it's not really being reflected.
01:50He's not really having a great series or last, like, week or so, but he's 0 for 21 right
01:55now.
01:56Like, he's got to get out of this.
01:57Like, he's got to set the tempo early and get those early runs, but we're seeing it,
02:02Scott.
02:03It was the same thing with the San Diego series, with L.A., and we're seeing it now with the
02:06Mets.
02:07These early runs, bro, were everything.
02:08Right?
02:09Like, in hockey, the first goal doesn't matter.
02:10You can be a blow-two-nothing lead all the time.
02:12Football, you score the first touchdown, so what, Scott?
02:15Other teams aren't like, oh, my God, we're in a lot of trouble.
02:17We're down 7-0, 14-0 early.
02:21He's baseball in the playoffs, bro.
02:23It's almost like, man, you saw it with the Yankees last night.
02:25Get the lead, get to the bullpen, and suffocate them like a snake, bro.
