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.
