“12 RBI’s, most in World Series history.” “That means a lot of my teammates were on base!” - most humbling response by Freddie. This is the Dodger way! 💙⚾️
@@calvinsummerlin6395 Atlanta fans miss him but they're also happy with Olson. There wasn't any room for the both of them.. plus Feddie's agent may have or may not have fucked up.. We'll never know.
I agree with Rich's take on the "COVID championships". If everybody feels that they are not legitimate, then all the teams should not have agreed to perform under those circumstances Plus those same fans that discredit those titles were the same ones begging for some entertainment during that time
The Padres, who got swept in the DS to those Dodgers in 2020, have the loudest complaints about an aStErIsK. Like dudes you were competing in the same playoffs? You got swept? It's just an inferiority complex/the Manny Machado culture effect
As a long time Dodgers fan, it's still hard for me to believe this team beat the Yanks in 5.. Given the history between these teams in the Fall Classic even I am surprised. The Dodgers were just relentless in the post season, given all the injuries to the pitching staff, this team just kept battling. Feel so good for Walker Buehler as well, all that hard work coming back from surgery to pitch that last inning and shutting down a very good Yankee team. Just a great win and a great day to be a Dodgers fan.
@@muffdiver4973 it's still taken from the original city it was in, you are splitting hairs for no reason. If your wife left you and took your child with her, the child moved but was also taken away from you, see how that works?
Honestly, With Ohtani not being Ohtani as much in the Post Season. I think the 2020 team would beat this team in 6 or 7 games. I hate Covid so much because that 2020 was freaking special. Buehler was just as dominant, Kersh was strong all Post season. I think that team is up there
Shohei will become an alcoholic by how much champagne he will be drowning in when this Dodgers team becomes one of the longest winning Dynasties in MLB.
Most of their best players are 30 or older. I sincerely doubt they have the longest dynasty of recent decades unless they all age like Lebron, Brady, or Tiger haha. Nobody knows how well Shohei will bounce back or how long he will be able to consistently play 2-way either. It's not like there are a bunch of examples of how well a 2-way player with 2 TJ surgeries will age. Sure, knowing Ohtani he could be a slam dunk MVP again in 2025 but it feels quite far from a guarantee. The injuries may take their toll as he gets older
Rich listed a lot of Dodgers but one name not mentioned was Teoscar Hernandez. Clutch hitting and a defensive play that stopped a Yankee rally. C'mon people. Give him a little love.
I doubt they are going to sustain this level of dominance, but having Ohtani winning a ring out of the way is going to be exciting. Without him having to “chase ring”, he could spend the rest of his career just having fun, playing the crap out of his dual roles rather than having to manage his body to win. I can imagine him reducing his hitting one season, trying to go for Cy Young one year, then chase the hit record next or something. It’s an entire world of possibilities.
I wouldnt be sure they can keep this going (not saying the will win the world series next year). They have made 4 of the last 8 world series. Next year Shohei will pitch along with Glasnow, Gonsolin and May. On paper the team next year is better as long as they keep Teo and Buehler. We will also have Edman for a full year.
Rich, I was at the game last night and what a gut punch. But it turns out my section was mainly purchased for Dodgers front office personnel and they were losing their minds. They were all flown out on a charter flight and free tix to all 3 games and a great hotel near Grand Central. I thought I was in Dodger Stadium for a moment. They were good sports though. Still thinking about what could’ve been for the Yankees though after being up 5-0.
It’s not like 2020 Dodgers played under different conditions than the other 29 teams. Everyone was in the same boat. If your team had won in 2020 instead, and a Dodger fan suggested it was somehow not legitimate, you’d be right to defend your team’s championship. I wonder if a lot of that talk comes from Astro fans who still had a guilty conscience about 2017.
It's definitely easy even for a casual fan in LA to get a Dodgers hat or shirt and represent. And they are everywhere right now, in all colors and styles. Lakers gear is a bit more limited, but the Dodgers hat has become as iconic as the Yankees hat. Also, Dodgers tickets are relatively cheap, so a lot more working class, especially Chicanos!, can go and be part of the fanbase. The Lakers games are really expensive, so it's an upper class team. Now with Ohtani the Japanese fans are crazy into it too. His mural in Little Tokyo is massive. It's a diverse city and everyone feels the love, fun and class coming from this team. Parade tomorrow, can't wait to see Dave Roberts' expression!
To me, this is the best analysis there is out there. Classy, elocuent, very illustrative of what happened without all the mambojumbo or beating around the bush. Excellent conversation, and I listen to both Spanish and English analysts. All of them experts, knowledgable, and professional - but this is the best.
I think jack will be elsewhere that last showing was tough just 1 inning in a closing game of the World Series we need pitchers that show up consistently.
@@mirikaku5811 Kershaw good guy but needs to just retire never pitches good in postseason but once that era is over. He is still a hall of famer so he is good
Speaking for countless lifelong Red Sox fans, we are awash and overwhelmed in a flood of sobbing Yankee fan tears watching Judge and the pissy pinstripes poop the bed. We bow to the Dodgers for giving us a sad Yankee dugout and Yankee Stadium fan face on our TV screens. Thank you scrappy Dodgers!
It was a gentlemen’s sweep! Judge, Boone and Cole all sold for the Yanks. Honestly happy for Freddy and Teo! They won with a 3 man rotation , being down 2-1 against the Padres in SD was their biggest hurdle. With that said Judge vs Ohtani failed to deliver on the hype but nonetheless I tuned in. Dodgers are only beginning too and if the rumors are true they will be in the hunt for Soto even if it’s an overkill for this stacked team. The investments paid off
They don't need Soto, stop listening to random rumors. This team is already stacked and ready, very little adjustment needed. Just need healthy pitchers.
The Big Blue Wrecking Crew...Something about MLB makes me 12yrs old again. Life Long Dodgers Fan watching My Dodgers Rip the heart out of the Yankees. Pure Bliss!
The media doesn't want to mention the Yankees were on the verge of winning game 1 until the GOAT hit the triple in the 8th inning under pressure to tie the losing game for the Dodger. If Yankees took game 1, things can look totally different. Yanks could be up 3-2, if they won game 1 and Cole didn't get lazy.
What a surprise, the team that’s dominated the whole league all season with 98 wins and has absolutely torn through the World Series is actually good 🙄. Seriously, the amount of people saying “Dodgers in 6” was straight up disrespectful. So many people wanted the Dodgers to lose that bad, which must make this championship feel even sweeter for the Dodgers.
I’ve been playing “I love LA” by Randy Newman all morning. This was a hell of a season for the boys in blue. Resign flaherty, buehler, and teo. We don’t need Soto. Pages will continue to improve. Glasnow, stone, may, Miller, gonsolin, kershaw and OHTANI take the offseason to get healthy and give the dodgers the deepest rotation in the history of baseball. Take a swing at Willy adames and a few depth pieces in FA, and we’re back at it in spring. I love LA.
They need to bring the ALCS & NLCS Championship games back into regular TV Channels. It only give special preferences to certain groups of people who can afford $60 per month dish subscription
I remember Rich was all mad cus one of the players wasn’t wearing a mask and he had Covid during the 2020 celebration photo that’s when I lost respect for Rich because I realized he’s a puppet like the rest of these analyst 🤦🏽♂️🤮🤡
Can someone clarify this "asterisk" for the 2020 season? I get that it was a shortened season, but EVERY team had equal opportunity to win it right? Is it just salty people upset that their team won? Cause the mental gymnastics people do to justify their own hatred for another team winning is ludicrous.
To reward the deadbeat owners for fielding a Triple A team all season? Baseball has owners that want to win, and owners that don't. The system lets the ones that want to win give it their best shots. Doesn't always work. We saw it with these two teams. NY hadn't even been in the WS since 2009, but they've been in the top 5 in spending just about every season. Until the covid season, the Dodgers scuttled around since the 80s, barely winning a playoff series or two, let alone a title, but they were usually big spenders as well. Money doesn't guarantee anything, but you can't sustain success without it. Otherwise you're Tampa or the Twins, teams that get good with young talent and won't pay them to stay together long enough to win it all. Without an owner that wants to win, none of it matters.
Cmon Rich, i know ur a Yankee fan but u live in LA and host your show here. U should know a thing or two about the Dodgers. Walker Buehler is an UFA. I hope we can bring him back but he’s gonna cash in that well deserved check. Gavin Stone had shoulder surgery and is gonna miss all of 2025. Teoscar also an UFA. We have some big shoes to fill, hopefully we can bring back those 2 but i think we have a better chance at signing Teoscar
We've got to give props to ownership and management. You can have the deepest pockets all you want but you don't stay on top by spending money alone. They have a vision, they have a strategy and then they execute. Money helps a lot of course but you can throw money away or you can spend wisely and that's what the Dodgers are doing. Management never panics. They could've fired Roberts a long time ago but they didn't. They kept their faith in him. They don't only have a lot of money and stars on their team but they have one of the mest farm systems. That's why if they can't spend they trade. This organization took it's first step to a dynasty.
Do people discount Tampa and their playoff run during 2020? What about Tom Brady and the Bucs? Alabama's title with a short season? Is every winner of 2020 not counted? If not, why just the Dodgers?
the dodgers are a great organization they know how to build winning championship teams top to bottom the Yankees don't. the dodgers have people that hit and pitch when it matters.
Dodgers won the post-season tournament in 2020, but don't call it a World Series. Every other WS winner in history had to play a full season before the WS.
Thanks to the 2 NY goons who attacked M. Betts. You poked the bear and you got served on a silver patter. Sweet Revenge. Dodgers show they can't be stop. Awesome come back in one of best, if not the best world series ever.
The New York Yankees' loss is one of the biggest collapses in a championship game, as is the case with the Atlanta Falcons' loss to the New England Patriots. Go Dodgers!!!
You’re not a Dodger fan if you put an asterisk on it. Everyone played the shortened season. Montreal Expos 1994 WS champions* How’s that sound? (Best record on August 11).
It remains to be seen whether Yamamoto is a bust or not. Right now, it's trending, yes. I hope he will turn it around for the rest of his career. Batters are making contact with his repertoire and hitting them hard.
Lest we forget, the Mets took the World Champs to 6 games and, thus, are clearly the best team in NY (swept the Yanks this season too). Mets, one can argue, are no worse than the third best team in baseball (Padres could argue No. 2). Go Blue, as always!
I see ticket prices rising 50% and 30$ Dodger dogs. Commissioner needs to step in if Dodgers get Soto. They have extra revenues coming in from Japan now. Ohtani is practically free even with deferred. They are already like the Avengers of baseball.
