" This is Mark Kriegel at Dodger Stadium foxsports.com. You were robbed able notes and I was a much anticipated. Managerial matchup what do you think one -- Well I think it's you know the identical for Joe Torre when he went to New York in and I think. It went very well for Joe Torre you know obviously Joe -- starter was out there after 32 thirds innings close to a hundred pitches but he has agree opening. To fall back -- kinda like he did in New York. And Tony La Russa after his east kinda got passed around a little bit early in the ball game he was trying to get often go when he's trying to manufacture runs in the big guys like. Matt Holliday and Albert Pujols were in the job of really I think you're only as -- your players and although Tony La Russa and Joe Torre went back and forth this course the bull pens. I think that Torre got game wonders though there."

" You know it was interesting that two hours -- had this -- regular season game he would have never removed Randy Wolf. In the fourth inning and and -- and you know if it were regular season in my -- of separate now I understand. Toy -- something that you -- while with the Yankees and as you noted before. One that one of the things that was never really appreciate about those great Yankee teams was. Not just how good their way out of the bullpen but how diverse league talent they can hit any sort of situation tonight bringing you know bring in Weaver. -- Was was not with the bases loaded it was not like your normal."

" All know it wasn't but that depth that he has now he can enjoy it Weathers Padilla out there. Whether you know Weaver out there those guys can come inning did you -- five innings. And then that becomes the ridge. At the close in the she girls in the -- so I think one of the things about Joe Torre's bullpen that has starters that. You know whether or not you wanna start them whether you wanna put him out there you know Randy Wolf might be the guy doesn't start the next game but he comes in from -- so. You know back kind of luxury and I think it's a great -- for Joe Torre but also. You know what these guys have been around for a long time and and you know I think in the Russa may have the better starters -- weigh in. -- camp in eastern guys like that takedown and -- like that solely by game series. And that's probably why territories in the regular season even in a seven game series. You gotta kinda stretch out your pitching. Here you can really go full or throw guys out there almost every inning obviously the Dodgers -- a lot more guys for Joe Torre. He's got the man power he's also got experience out as -- I thought that was the single most significant thing to come out of his name is it. You know. Carpenter's five you know against the Dodgers as the guys they just have not been able to be. But his will to -- and slide. We have very short memories on this team guys aren't affected our stats -- By their you know my history by any of that stuff and I have to think the Dodgers a much more confident tonight and they were this morning mellowing. That they took that they took singles and best post it's you know. -- On their bags and out there doesn't he doesn't need meaning ticket nominees I think that this is much. Better more well rounded team -- won this time last year last year might have been more euphoric that might have been more willing remember those at -- you know Manny came to the plate. This whole town stop. But this is a more solid team to me right now absolutely and and look at that Broxton last year you take him back to Saito. You know you look at of these pitchers even weekly poker show up he got his feet wet last year so now these guys like it's either season -- grizzled veterans but they know what's expected the -- have been here before and maybe the older guys -- annual. First playoff you know postseason appearance in eleven seasons so for him he might have been a little bit -- thrower. Got bases loaded got out of it only allowed one run early in the ballgame but the bottom line is the young guys the young players in the nucleus of this ball club. Are now he's in guys up -- a lot of people underestimated Dodgers I like about I was at this time last week we're wondering. Will the Dodgers ever clinch and I think that you know. Obviously Joe Torre knows from from. The 2000 season in New York loss like. Thirteen out of fifteen going into the playoffs and won the series that momentum can be very overrated commodity. Well now I think it up to the Cardinals they need to steal a game with a -- and right. A lot of pressure off clean -- on I think -- your Joe Torre. You kind of like that scenario kind of like inspect 96 -- Jimmy he started the game two but any Pettit one game one. It took pressure off the older guy and vice Versa but he'll now her show lot of people work. Worried about him the word about Billingsley now all the pressure off that game one way it is also one final point and it's that's worth making. Who needs Manny Ramirez. When you have wrapping up a cough."
