Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill preview Game 5
THE FIELD REPORT. GUYS. >> THANKS A LOT, BOB, SO THERE IS A GAME FIVE AND LINED UP PRETTY WELL FOR THE YANKEES AS THEY HAVE THEIR ACE ON THE MOUND, GERRIT COLE. HE THREW WELL IN GAME ONE. AT 88 PITCHES, AARON BOONE TOOK HIM OUT AMOUNTED SAID HE WAS GASSED AT THAT POINT. THEY NEED MORE FROM HIM IN GAME FIVE. >> IF HE CAN CONTINUE TO GET TO WHERE HE WAS IN GAME ONE, YOU'RE DOG TO CONTINUE TO GO WITH HIM. AARON BOONE HE SAID IN THE FIRST SEGMENT IS LEARNING WHERE HE GOES. WEAVER FOR TWO INNINGS, HOLMES LOOKED GREAT TONIGHT. ON PAPER, LOOKS LIKE A GOOD MATCHUP FOR THE YANKEES.
>> FOR THE DODGERS, IT'S JACK FLAHERTY. HE HAD ONE GOOD GAME AND ONE BAD GAME IN THE ALCS. ONE OF THE REASONS THE YANKEES DIDN'T PURSUE HIM FOR A TRADE IS A BACK ISSUE. YOU WONDER IF HE'S GOING TO BE FATIGUED AGAIN. >> YOU HAVE TO BANK ON THE YANKEES MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. PLAYERITY IS A BREAKING BALL GUY. THEY TOOK EARLY STRIKES FROM HIM IN GAME ONE. I THINK HE'LL BE MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE, GOING AFTER HIM EARLY IN THE COUNT NOT TO GET TO THAT BREAKING BALL. >> THE DODGERS DID NOT LOSE THEIR HIGH LEVERAGE RELIEVERS.
THAT IMPACTS GAME FIVE, AS WELL. >> I'M SURE THE DODGERS ARE THINKING THE SAME THING AS THE YANKEES. THEY WANT TO GET A GOOD START, GO TO THE BULLPEN AND TRY TO, YOU KNOW, FINISH THIS THING. THEY WANT TO GO BACK HOME OBVIOUSLY TO PACK UP AND GO HOME FOR GOOD. THE YANKEES ARE DRYING TO GET BACK OUT TO L.A. BECAUSE IF YOU GET GAME FIVE UNDER YOUR BELT AND MICHAEL, WE TALKED ABOUT IT, THERE'S NEVER REALLY BEEN A GAME SIX AFTER TEAMS HAVE BEEN DOWN 0-3. THE WHEELS MIGHT START TURNING AND DODGERS, TOO. >> JUDGE TAKING PICTURES TODAY, YOU THINK HE TURNED A CORNER? >> I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DID. THERE WERE SOME GOOD AT-BATS TODAY. IT GOES TO SHOW YOU YOU DIDN'T SEE A STUFF TODAY FROM THE DODGERS.
A LOT OF THE BAD AT-BATS YOU SAW WAS BECAUSE OF GOD PITCHING. THAT'S WHAT IT TELLS ME. THIS LINEUP IS CAPABLE OF DOING WHAT IT DID TONIGHT, IS IT GOING TO SHOW UP THAT WAY AGAIN TOMORROW? WHO KNOWS. IT'S A GOOD NIGHT FOR THE YANKEES, WILL BE A FUN GAME TOMORROW. >> I'M CURIOUS, I'D LIKE YOU TO GIVE YOUR BEST GUESS, ARE THE DODGERS FEELING ANY PRESSURE NOW? >> I THINK EARLY IN THE GAME WHEN YOU'RE UP AGAIN THINKING WE CAN FINISH THIS THING, YOU'RE ALWAYS RE11ED TO FINISH IT. AS SOON AS YOU LOSE A GAME, YOU'RE STUNG A LITTLE BIT. ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU SEE GUYS STARTING TO SWING THE BAT AND YOU HAVEN'T SEEN AMONTSTERROUS GAME FROM JUDGE YET. HE HAD ANOTHER CHANCE TOMORROW. VERDUGO COULD HAVE HAD TWO HOME RUNS TONIGHT. YOU HAVE GUYS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY'RE TURNING THE CORNER.
IF THAT HAPPENS,.
