00:00There's been a lot of critics of Dave Roberts, he's only won once, they make the playoffs
00:07every year, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, basically he says screw
00:13the critics.
00:14I've now won twice.
00:15Here he is.
00:16I'm going to take the high road.
00:19You know, it's hard to win a championship regardless of what your team is like.
00:25It's hard.
00:26And there's a reason why there hasn't been a repeat champion since the Yankees did it.
00:29And so it clearly speaks to the difficult, the playoff format, all that stuff.
00:33And so I'm going to be in the moment and I'm going to enjoy the heck out of this one.
00:38And I'm sure there's no asterisks on this one.
00:41And Andrew said Shohei told him in the clubhouse, let's do this nine more times.
00:46Do you feel the pressure of nine more times?
00:49I don't want to get to pressure yet.
00:50I've dealt with pressure quite a bit.
00:52I'm going to enjoy this one.
00:55But you know, once we get to spring training, that's certainly going to be the goal.
00:59Well, he brings that up.
01:00Let me just say this to you, piggyback off that, because he brought up Shohei.
01:04The exact opposite of judge in terms of he's now won a World Series and nobody will even
01:10remember he played in one because he obviously did nothing in the World Series, Otani.
01:15He had the greatest year of all time, but he did nothing in the World Series.
01:19Nothing.
01:20He was hurt.
01:21Fine.
01:22But he did nothing.
01:23Listen, the other thing that stands out to me is what he said about winning.
01:25You know, it really is brutally hard.
01:29And the Mafia, I always go back to playing basketball, like four times we went undefeated
01:35and lost in the championship.
01:37Four times we were undefeated.
01:38We won every game except the title game.
01:41You never live it down.
01:43Four times we went undefeated and won it.
01:45So I was four and four after going undefeated.
01:50You never realize how hard it is until you're in that position to win it.
01:57Like people think it's so easy.
01:59I think sports fans think winning titles in World Series, Stanley Cup, anything else is
02:04easy.
02:05Now you watch the Chiefs win back to back.
02:07So everybody's like, it's so easy.
02:09It is not easy to win at all.
02:12You can go and lose.
02:13The Yankees just went and lost and they, you know, the Dodgers were favored and they beat
02:19them.
02:20It is, but even he said, look, you know, he's won twice and he's, it's really hard to close
02:25the deal to win it, to get in it.
02:28Everything has to fall into place.
02:29And then you have to actually finish the deal.
02:33Once you get there, like the Yankees got there and they failed and the Dodgers got there
02:38and they won it.
02:39And it's hard to do it.
02:40It'll be hard.
02:41You know, I've already heard dynasty.
02:44Is there such a thing in baseball anymore at dynasty because the Yankees were the last
02:48dynasty and no one's repeated since every year.
02:51And someone knew last year, I almost puked that I had to watch the Texas Rangers and
02:56Arizona Diamondbacks.
02:57I mean, really, honestly, it was that bad.
02:59So this was supposed to be the greatest world series ever.
03:03And it really wasn't.
