0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Day, Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase live at Uniclo

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Field at Dodgers Stadium until eleven thirty tonight. That's right,

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 2>eleven thirty tonight. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number all those happy fans

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>leaving the stadium fifty thousand plus getting a Maxmuncy babblehead

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and also being treated to Maxmunsey coming up with one

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest hits of the night, the first big

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>hit of the night that bases loaded double clearing the

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>bases with two outs. And we all know the Dodger

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>offense has not been doing so great lately, so that

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>was so big for that dugout and for Muncie who's

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 2>been struggling as well. Just big on so many different levels.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 2>And I will say this, the Dodgers won tonight six

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to five, but even if they didn't win, it felt

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>like the Dodgers played with the urgency that they need

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>to play with. And the tone was set by Miguel

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Rojas and Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts has been saying this

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>since some Saturday, that it's go time. And how about

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas sending a text to the team that he

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>shared with us. I'll let you hear what he had

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 2>to say. I'll let you hear what Dave Roberts had

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 2>to say after the game as well. But Rojas basically

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>texts the team, Hey, it's time to go. It's time

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 2>for the sprint attitude. Now the season's almost over with.

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 2>We only got forty games to go. And if I

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>felt like the Dodgers came through with that type of

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 2>focus and urgency tonight. We did not see the same

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>base running mistakes that we've been seeing since the All

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Star break. We saw better at bats tonight, show Hal

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Tani smartly stealing second base to get into scoring position

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 2>for Freddie Freeman's go ahead RBI single in the seventh inning.

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 2>And for Max Munsey, I know we focus on Mookie

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Beds and Kyle Tucker, but the reality is Max Munsey

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>has been in a really bad slump here in the

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>last couple of weeks. He's been striking at an almost

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>a fifty percent rate, only walking about ten percent. And

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>for him to come up being down one two and

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.679
<v Speaker 2>being able to deliver that base hit down the right

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 2>field line to score all three runs was huge. Kyle

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Tucker coming off the bench pinch hitting for te Oscar

0:02:55.320 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez against the righty John Schreiber. That was a great

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>at bat by Kyle Tucker to work a walk and

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>not try to do too much to set up what

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Munths he did. And I give Dave Roberts a lot

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>of credit. I mean, I know it's August, but the

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>urgency that Dave Roberts managed with tonight really shows and

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>sets the tone for the rest of the team. Taking

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Taoscar Hernandez out in the sixth inning, to have Tucker,

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 2>who did not start tonight, come off the bench was

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>the right move. I don't know if Kyle Tucker is

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 2>going to strike out on three pitches, but the way

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Tucker's been going the last ten games, whether or not

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>he gets a walk, whether or not he gets a hit,

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 2>whether or not he strikes out, it was the one

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent right move. If you've been watching Dodger games,

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>you've been seeing really poor at bats by taoscar Hernandez,

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and tonight was no different. And look, I'm still a

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>big believer in taoscar Hernandez. I believe he's still going

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>to be a big part of the rest of the

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>season and into October because he's done it and the

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have won back to back championships in large part

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 2>because of his contributions. But right now he's not swinging

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the bat well, he's not giving you good at back quality.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>So that was the right move, and Kyle Tucker rewarded

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts for the right move. And like I said

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>on Petrosen Money Show today, I said it on the

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 2>pregame show yesterday. I talked to Edwin Diz yesterday morning,

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>and I had no doubts after talking to him that

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>that ninth inning Saturday night changed his season because once

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:47.479
<v Speaker 2>Corby and Carroll got to third base, he just basically said,

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what to hell with everything, I'm competing and

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to lose this game tonight. And he

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 2>was able with nobody out to Strand Carroll at third

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>base and to me talking to him. On top of

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>what I saw on Saturday night, I was convinced his

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>season has changed because all of a sudden, now, whatever

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>was in the back of his mind, whether or not

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>he thought if he went a little bit too much

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>with ripping it, gripping and ripping it, whether or not

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 2>he threw his slider max S effort that he was

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 2>going to reinjure his arm. That's out the window now,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's that's the compete mode that we saw on

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Saturday night to allow the Dodgers to get to the

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>tenth inning. And you saw tonight tonight was the best

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>slider Edwin Diaz has thrown in a long time. And

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I am convinced Edwin Diaz's season changed on Saturday night.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. All right. I want to share with

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>you what Miguel Rojas shared with us after the Dodgers

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 2>lost their seventh in a row. Because you may not

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>win five or six or seven or ten in a row.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>But it certainly sets the tone for the rest of

0:05:59.560 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the season.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 3>I challenge the guys I send in a little quick

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.799
<v Speaker 3>message on the group last night to start our sprint

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 3>right now. You know why not to start when it's

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 3>forty four games left, so we prepare for what is coming.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 3>And I feel like if we put the little intensity

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 3>on every pitch and forget about the past and forget

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>about what's the future is gonna look like. I think

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna be on the moment more and we're gonna

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 3>give everything that we have in that moment. So I

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 3>think it's important to remember those little things when you

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 3>go in the middle of the summer and you know,

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 3>like you're approaching the end of the season and you

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 3>kind of wanted to get over there with so you.

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Can go to October.

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, no one's gonna give you anything for free,

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.480
<v Speaker 3>so we're gonna have to earn it, and this is

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 3>our time to kind of start our spring. I believe

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 3>we can do it. I know we've been playing a

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 3>lot of games the last two years and this year,

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 3>but if we have an opportunity to do something really special,

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 3>So if we have it in our hands. Let's do it.

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, we're in it to win it. We're not

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 3>in it just to say, oh, no, we won the

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 3>last two. We okay, not winning this one, or let's

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.119
<v Speaker 3>see what happened. No, we're in it to win this one.

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>And now that we have the opportunity that all we

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>have to play is fifty some more games in this year,

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 3>it's a good time for us to kind of like

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 3>do the spring and finish the season.

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>All right. Miguel Rojas. He said that after the Dodgers

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 2>lost their seventh in a row, he shot off a

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>text to the players the teammates group texts that they have,

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.679
<v Speaker 2>and certainly that's just a reminder to everybody. On top

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 2>of I would love to know what was said on

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the plane right back, because it's a player's only plane.

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>People think about the traditional sense of oh, let's have

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>a meeting in the clubhouse. Let's have a formal players

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>only meeting in the clubhouse everybody out. The Dodgers don't

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 2>have to do that. They can have their players only

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>meeting in an informal way on their players only plane.

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So I would imagine that would lend itself to these

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>guys talking about the urgency they need to play with

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and everything that Miguel Rojas included in his text. So

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 2>that's the good part of that. Now fast forward to tonight,

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts echoed those sentiments, and the way he's going

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>to manage is similar to the way Rojas wants the

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>rest of the team to play.

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 4>I think that we're past letting him play out of it.

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 4>I think that you know, we're in a we're in

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 4>a playoff race, you know, trying to win the division

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 4>number one, number two, you know, capture one of the

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.439
<v Speaker 4>first two playoff spots, and you know this is this

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 4>is go time, and so you know, I'm going to

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 4>manage according like I said. And we've seen enough of

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 4>a sample of guys and what they've done this year,

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 4>and so you know, everyone understands it's about winning. So

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 4>it's not about feelings. And I love and like everybody,

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 4>but we've got to do it's best for the Dodgers

0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 4>for twenty twenty six.

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 2>If you listen to what Miguel Rojas had to say,

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and you listen to what Dave Roberts said tonight, how

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>could you not be fired up if you're a Dodger fan,

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 2>these guys do care. And you know what else, I'm

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of tired of everybody's saying this team is old.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Nobody was saying that in May and June. All of

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, because they're in a losing streak or they're

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>not catching up to fastballs, this team is old. Bury

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>them now, they got nothing left. I refuse to believe that.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I may be too close to the situation, but I

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>refuse to believe that these guys all of a sudden

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>cannot hit fastballs. And I know now the numbers show

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>that they're not hitting off speed pitches. You know what

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 2>that says to me? That reflects a poor plan by

0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>the players themselves. And that's part of the reason why

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing so many double plays. That's the reason why

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing so many poor at bats coming into tonight.

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Have a plan, have a better plan, compete in the

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 2>batter's box. That's what the best always said. So I

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>refuse to believe these guys are too old to try

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to run this to a three peat. I refuse to believe,

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, these guys can't hit fastballs. I'm sorry,

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I refuse to believe that eight six, six, nine, seven

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. The Dodgers beat

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the Royals tonight six to five, A big win for

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. They may not say it, but I will.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 2>This was a big win for the Dodgers. And after

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Dryer gave up the game tying home run after Monthsey

0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>electrified this crowd. It was huge for Otani and Freeman,

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the two guys that have carried this offense all year long,

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to do what they did to win the game for

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 2>them in the seventh inning. Let's go out to Braxton,

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 2>who is at the game tonight. Hi, Braxton, you're on

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 5>Hey, David. Always get to call you.

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 6>Tonight.

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 5>I love calling you when we have these games that

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.920
<v Speaker 5>the atmosphere or is just at electric. That's that's when

0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 5>I call you. It seems like every time tonight I

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 5>sat beside a seventy year old lady and she was

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 5>she was on the same page with me. I mean,

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 5>she knows everything about the Dodgers and what you just

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 5>said right before you took my call about tonight was

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 5>a must win game. We had to win this game.

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 5>That's what we were saying going through this slump and

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 5>not just a slump, but an ugly slump. It's been ugly,

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.760
<v Speaker 5>and tonight felt like coming home was we all. I

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 5>think the whole fan base felt like it was a

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 5>playoff atmosphere walking into the game, and then you reflected it,

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 5>I mean the whole game. I mean you just heard

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.319
<v Speaker 5>the fans more alive than than normal, above average, right,

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 5>and then you get to that when Edmund made that

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 5>play down in the game, I turned around and looked

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 5>at my wife and said, plays like that, the game is,

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 5>the game's over. We're gonna win this game now, and

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 5>then you have the monthly moment and then it takes off.

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 5>You're right, David, Tonight was special tonight with a must win,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 5>and I think it was. It was a beautiful ending.

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:00.559
<v Speaker 5>It's perfect day, perfect day.

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 2>We love la Hey. The Dodgers heard you, Braxton. You

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>heard what Freddie Freeman said middle of the August, middle

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.079
<v Speaker 2>of August, and there's fifty thousand plus trying to will

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you to a win. That was special, and you guys

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 2>played a part in all that. So I appreciate you guys.

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, we appreciate you. It's always good dog, David.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.119
<v Speaker 5>I'll talk to you next time we have a great atmosphere.

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, Braxton, thanks for the phone call. Yeah, Tommy

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Edmund made an incredible catch in left field, maybe the

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 2>best catch I have seen by any left fielder this season.

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen every game of every left fielder, but

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.719
<v Speaker 2>of the games I've watched, that's the best catch I've

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 2>ever seen from a guy that plays a lot of

0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:45.079
<v Speaker 2>time on the infield. For him to make a catch

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 2>like that to end the sixth inning momentum was on

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers side. Let's go out to Hunter in the

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Big Apple listening on the iHeartRadio app. Hi Hunter, You're

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.080

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I heard about that. How about that Oral herscheizer

<v Speaker 2>give orl some love since you brought that up. He's

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>getting the star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Thursday.

0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I know you're in New York, but fans in LA

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 2>can be there. Get there at eleven thirty am. They're

0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>lining up on Hollywood in Highland and the ceremony, s

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>quick at end said about twelve fifteen. But yeah, how

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>about that my guy oral Herscheizer getting a star on

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>the Walk of Fame this Thursday.

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and yeah, orl if you're listening to the Night

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 7>you're listening, Yeah, glad that I got to tee that

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 7>up for you. But I get to get to the

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 7>point that I wanted to say, is when David you

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 7>emphasized it so well. Today was a huge, a huge win.

0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 7>I think it was the biggest win so far of

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 7>the sea. And what kind of clicks for me with

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 7>the win is Max Monthly It is a great alignment

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 7>on his bobblehead night. He had the biggest hit of

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 7>the night and therefore in the way like the biggest

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 7>hit of the season. And what I've been saying for

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 7>like the last few months is I want to start

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 7>the conversation for Max Monsey potentially having his number retired.

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 7>He has the most postseason home runs in Dodgers baseball.

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 7>He's he's probably gonna pass Harrows in the most home

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:41.200
<v Speaker 7>runs as an LA Dodger. He has legendary home runs

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 7>in the postseason. And also his story of coming to

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers and first, the second, third.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 8>Et cetera.

0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 7>There's a lot more to say, but it's like this.

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 7>This is what it looks like where a guy has

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 7>like these accolades and has these moments.

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let me tell you this. The Dodgers have a

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>franchise rule, if you will, that you have to be

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>inducted into the Hall of Fame to have your number retired.

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 2>The only two that do not have that distinction are

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 2>transcendent Fernando Vvenezuela, who should be in the Hall of

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Fame for a number of different reasons, and Jim Gillion,

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 2>who was Walter O'Malley's favorite player. He died during the

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy seventh season. That was an emotional reflection and

0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 2>honor to Jim gilliam. So those are the only two

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 2>and that's part of the reason why the Dodgers and

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>thanks to our guyln Rosen and Stan Casten for starting

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 2>this the Legends of Dodger Baseball where it's a pseudo

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame that honors guys that are not getting

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>to the Hall of Fame but had great Dodger careers.

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 2>In fact, on Saturday, Reggie Smith is going to be

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 2>honored with that Legends of Dodger Baseball, Oral Herscheiser, your guy, Hunter,

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>He's in there too, So I love the Dodgers starting

0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 2>that for guys like Maximun Sye that are not want

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>to make it to the Hall of Fame or have

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>their number retired.

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 7>So then it's well deserved. And then those of us

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 7>that adventure and suffer through we know that he deserves it.

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, Hunter, thanks for the phone call, and I

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>guess you're taking full credit for me reminding fans that

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 2>they should show up and show out Thursday morning for

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the Hollywood Walk of Fame Oral getting his star.

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, so I'm glad I got to see that up.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 5>Thanks David.

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, Hunter, thank you for the phone call. Yeah,

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>just a reminder. Oral Herscheiser is getting his star on

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 2>the Hollywood Walk of Fame this Thursday. From what I understand,

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>if you're planning to attend, and it should be fun,

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Oral always makes it fun. Joe Davis is speaking, Clayton

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw is going to be out there speaking line up

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 2>on the corner of Hollywood and Highland this Thursday morning

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 2>at eleven thirty. Let's go out to Scooter in LA.

0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi Scooter.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 9>Hey, what's going on, Dave?

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 10>How you doing?

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't be better after a game like tonight. These

0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:09.000
<v Speaker 2>guys are firing me up because they're not conceding anything.

0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm getting tired of hearing how old they are.

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 2>They usually blame me for calling them old. Well, I'm

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 2>defending the fact that these guys got a lot left

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:18.639
<v Speaker 2>in the tank.

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yeah, I think so true. I just wanted to

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 9>say that I called your your show about about about

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 9>four weeks ago.

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 10>And when they're like about fifteen games or something like that,

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.920
<v Speaker 10>and I said, I was, you know, I didn't really

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.879
<v Speaker 10>like when they go up big early, you know, in

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.440
<v Speaker 10>the middle of the season and win by a lot

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 10>of games.

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.119
<v Speaker 9>Going into yep, by a lot of games going into September.

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I remember. I think we all were a little.

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.919
<v Speaker 9>Bit of this, right, Yeah, you know, because you know

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 9>what happened in twenty two twenty three, they won.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 7>Big and want to get knocked in the first round.

0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 9>The last couple of years they got pushed little by

0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 9>Padres and they went on to win the real series.

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 9>So I was saying that, you know, you know, maybe

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 9>I'm too big, But be trouble what you wish for,

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 9>because since then, you know, you know what happened.

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 11>The league got cut in half.

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 9>But it's it's good right now. I mean some games

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.360
<v Speaker 9>I can live with that, you know, for the rest

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 9>of the season.

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 2>The biggest thing, Scooter is not Scooter, Scooter. The biggest

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 2>thing is not the division. They're winning the division. The

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing is to get a buy and not be

0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.400
<v Speaker 2>a wildcard team, not play in the first round, and

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 2>not have to go on the road to start the NLDS.

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 2>When you talk about age, you know, I'm not going

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to go that far. But there are older guys, thirty

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 2>something guys, and having to travel cross country and not

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>have home field advantage throughout the postseason like last year.

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 2>That's hard to do. And I would love their chances

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot more if they were the one or two seed.

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's not about the division. It's about

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.639
<v Speaker 2>catching the Braves or the Brewers to have one of

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.040
<v Speaker 2>those first two round For having one of those first

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:07.200
<v Speaker 2>two seeds, don't get it twisted, that would be great.

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 9>And as long as uh we got Yaminado and.

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 2>We got Yamamoto, come on, Scooter.

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Yamaodo, Yeah.

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, just say Yama. How about this, Just say Yama.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 9>Okay, we got Yama, we got we got and we

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 9>got Snell. And I don't know between now, you said

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 9>it wrong against Scooter.

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Don't say Snell. Say snell Zilla and say it with

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 2>some attitude.

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.159
<v Speaker 9>Okay, yeah, we got Snell. I hope he, you know,

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 9>gets back in the form. And then that fourth pitcher,

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 9>I don't know if it's gonna be Glasgow or Tani

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 9>or Sasaki or whoever it is. I think we got

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.680
<v Speaker 9>a part of the best.

0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.679
<v Speaker 2>It's not that's not the problem. The problem is not

0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the pitching. They just need to get this offense going,

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and tonight was a good start. Hey, Scooter, love you,

0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Yama snell Zilla all.

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:01.640
<v Speaker 9>Right, Yeah, thanks to day.

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 2>See you all right, Scooter, thank you for the phone call.

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight. Hey, I've seen some local

0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>TV broadcasters not get easier names. Right, all right, he's

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 2>just a he's a fan. He's calling in. Eight six

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 2>six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Royals tonight six to five. Jack Dryer

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the winning pitcher, Edwin Diaz with his first save since

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:28.359
<v Speaker 2>July twenty ninth, after you know, uneven appearances in the

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning. But like I mentioned earlier in the show,

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.640
<v Speaker 2>after what we saw on the ninth inning on Saturday night,

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.800
<v Speaker 2>him yes, blowing the save, but him not allowing the

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Diamondbacks to win that game with the speedy Corbyn Carrol

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 2>at third base with nobody out. I mean, come on,

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>if you want to look at these grafts on chances

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to win, that was off the charts. The Diamondbacks were

0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 2>going to win that game, and the Dodgers got an

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.400
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to win the game in the tenth because Edwin

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Diaz did not give in. And talking to him yesterday,

0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm just telling you I can't use some of the

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 2>competitive language that he was sharing with me about the

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 2>way he's feeling now, the way he felt in that

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.399
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning after those back to back triples. But I

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 2>had no doubt tonight. I had no doubt tonight he

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:18.720
<v Speaker 2>was going to shut the door in the ninth inning

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>with authority. His season changed in the ninth inning that

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:26.119
<v Speaker 2>night in the desert. Let's go out to Jacksonville, Marty.

0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Marty?

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.000
<v Speaker 12>How are you doing, Dave, Listen. I was telling Colin

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 12>I was in a wreck today.

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, he destroyed my car. I got a concussion. I

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.640
<v Speaker 12>got neck injury, you know, all muscular, and.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Here you are.

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 12>Yeah. I wanted to tell you that they wanted to

0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 12>keep me in the hospital overnight or they said I

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.440
<v Speaker 12>could go home. I should get me out of here.

0:21:57.480 --> 0:22:00.480
<v Speaker 12>I gotta see the game. I got home. I missed

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.119
<v Speaker 12>the first inning, but I watched the rest of the

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 12>game and we won, and I'm thrilled. And now I

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 12>know how bad it is when the catcher gets hitting

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:13.320
<v Speaker 12>the mass, you know, with a foul ball, because when

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 12>those airbags go, it's like a weapon.

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it is. Hey, yeah, you know how those foul

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>balls come off the mask. Hey, I'm glad you're okay, Marty,

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 2>but take care of yourself. We want you around for

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 2>the World Series this year, so be well out there.

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.800

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Hyundai could ship you a new car all the way

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.639
<v Speaker 2>out there to Jacksonville. Okay, you let me know.

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 12>What I want to tell you. I do need a

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.560

<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium. I bet you didn't realize that he has

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 2>pitched here before with the Tigers, but tonight was his

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:38.280

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.680

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 2>about the pinch hit plate appearance by Kyle Tucker, who

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 2>drew a walk ahead of Monseie against John Schreiber and

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>then Monsey was able to do the rest with two

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 2>strikes and two outs. A struggling Monsey delivered for the

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.720
<v Speaker 2>hometown fans on his bobblehead nights. So that was great.

0:25:37.760 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Great to see his kids out there before the game.

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 2>His wife, Kelly my favorite Monsie by the way, she's

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:49.200
<v Speaker 2>she's not as you know what, not as no, I'm

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 2>just you know what. Munsey's a great guy. It's a

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 2>love hate relationship. But Kelly Munsey definitely a friend of Vassay,

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 2>no doubt, no doubt. Anyway. The Dodgers beat the Royals

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>tonight six to five Freddie Freeman after Jack Dryer gave

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>up a game tying home run to the number nine hitter. Tonight,

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Isbel came up with a big hit following Otani

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:16.120
<v Speaker 2>stealing second base in the bottom of the seventh inning

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.719
<v Speaker 2>to give the Dodgers a six to five lead. Tanner

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Scott to care the eighth Edwin Diaz took care of

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning. Here was Freddy after the game with us.

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, that was an incredible atmosphere on you know, Monday

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.159
<v Speaker 13>night in August, the packed house month with the big,

0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 13>big hit that we needed. I was just a good game,

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 13>going back and forth, countering when they were scoring runs.

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:39.160
<v Speaker 8>We came back, so that was a good win.

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 2>How big was it for Monsey to deliver in that

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 2>situation for you guys, it's huge. We needed that hit.

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 13>You know, we've been we've been grinding at the play

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 13>for about ten days needing that big hit and months

0:26:50.359 --> 0:26:52.400
<v Speaker 13>got it going and we were to scored a couple

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 13>one more run after that and our both been shut

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 13>it down.

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 2>I know you have a great appreciation for what happens before.

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 2>How big was it for Otawni to get a again

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 2>on for you? And how big was it for Tucker

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 2>to draw that walk ahead a month.

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:07.880
<v Speaker 13>Seat That's huge. There's are the little things I help

0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:10.639
<v Speaker 13>win games. Also show he's still in the base here

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:12.880
<v Speaker 13>on steel base we have probably don't score run there.

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 8>So it's the little things.

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 13>Ninety feet in this game are huge and show hey,

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:17.960
<v Speaker 13>getting that still in base, it's huge And obviously Tyle

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 13>Kyle kinchinchitting is one of the hardest things to do

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 13>in this game and put out in the great bat.

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.000

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Always good. When we catch up with happy Freddie Freeman.

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Three hits tonight. He drove in to go ahead run

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:46.879
<v Speaker 2>in the seventh inning and the Dodgers beat the Royals

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:49.880
<v Speaker 2>tonight six to five. Great to hear him recognize the

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 2>fans fifty one thousand plus willing the Dodgers to a

0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 2>win tonight. Let's go out to Dane who is at

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.719
<v Speaker 2>the ballpark one of those fifty one thousand plus. How

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 2>you do, Dane, You're on Dodger Talk.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey, how's it going.

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:08.119
<v Speaker 14>I say, yeah, man, super exciting game, super stoked. First

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 14>time able to get through to you guys here on

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:12.880
<v Speaker 14>the radio. I just listening to you on the drive home.

0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 14>Right now, you're saying that pitching's not the problem. I'd

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 14>have to disagree. I definitely think that pitching has been one.

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 8>Of the problems.

0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:22.119
<v Speaker 14>I don't know if it's because Will Smith is not

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 14>behind the dish and I don't know who's calling pitches,

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:29.160
<v Speaker 14>but we definitely need to step it up. Like Starter's bullpen,

0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 14>Vessia looked. I mean, I'm Vessie is one of my guys,

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 14>but he definitely velocity was down. Not sure what's going

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 14>on there. And then even Schooble like the home run

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 14>to CAGLIONI like, you know, two strikes and then you know,

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 14>just serves it up. So, I mean, longtime Dodger fan,

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:48.800
<v Speaker 14>love the show, just I think the pitching does need

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 14>to pick it up a little bit. Hopefully, when Will

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 14>Smith gets back and we run in the playoffs, it's

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 14>going to be a different story.

0:28:55.120 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 2>That's fair, Dane. Will Smith is a calming presence and

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 2>has a lot more experien rats with these guys than

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Fiducia does and Ben Rourfitt does. But I was

0:29:05.720 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>just thinking big picture wise going into the postseason, the

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers thirteen best pitchers, I would take them against anybody

0:29:12.720 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 2>else's thirteen best pitchers.

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 14>Of course, of course, of course, and I definitely think,

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 14>you know, the three headed monster and probably a fourth

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 14>going into any series, we have the advantage, but we

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.200
<v Speaker 14>definitely need to get the ship right it. In regards

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:30.719
<v Speaker 14>to the bullpen, I mean, I would say Henriquez has

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 14>probably been the most consistent throughout the season, but definitely

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 14>looking forward to getting Will Smith back, getting these guys

0:29:38.920 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 14>more consistency going.

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 5>In the into the playoff run.

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 14>So but love everything you do, man, and thank you

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 14>for the time.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 8>I appreciate it.

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I say, all right, Dan, thanks for listening. Yeah, you know,

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 2>obviously the bullpen it hasn't been lights out over the

0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:55.240
<v Speaker 2>course of the last month. But keep this in mind

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 2>as well. They're working Evan Phillips back in, They're working

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Edwin Dies back back in, so that sometimes distorts the numbers,

0:30:04.440 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 2>and the bullpen of any team is always the most

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 2>volatile part of the staff. So I'm not that concerned

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:16.480
<v Speaker 2>about the bullpen. I know there's been some miss missteps,

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 2>but with Edwin Diaz being Edwin Diaz again now and

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott having a really good year and Evan Phillips

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 2>starting to shake that rust off, I like where the

0:30:27.840 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodger bullpen is at. And like I said in October,

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 2>when it's the thirteen best pitchers, we're going to see,

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, Roki Sasaki go out to the bullpen. You're

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:40.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna see a guy like that, or Robleski go out

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen, and that's gonna change things. But like

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts said, it's go time right now. They want

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 2>to get one of those top two seeds to be

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:53.560
<v Speaker 2>able to secure a buye from that wildcard round and

0:30:53.600 --> 0:30:56.480
<v Speaker 2>not have to play on the road in the first

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 2>round as well. So all of that matters, and they're

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:02.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to catch the Braves and Brewers. The Brewers coming

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:06.440
<v Speaker 2>in for a big series beginning on Thursday, a four

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>game series against the team with the best record in

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the Milwaukee Brewers. And right now the Dodgers and Braves

0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>have the exact same record seventy one and forty eight.

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers and two road trips from now Head to Atlanta,

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>so that's also going to be a pivotal series to

0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 2>decide seeding as well. Our guy Dane talked about Trek Scubale.

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 2>He made his first start at Dodgers Stadium wearing the blue.

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:39.200
<v Speaker 2>It was somewhat of anti climactic start. He went five innings.

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>He competed. That's one thing you can't say about Schooble.

0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 2>He'll compete, but only for the fourth time in what

0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:48.960
<v Speaker 2>sixteen starts this year. He didn't get into the sixth inning.

0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 2>He's human. You have to imagine that he was trying

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 2>to do maybe more or than he should have. He

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 2>had his wife, his kids here. We saw him go

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 2>down the left field line on the way to the

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 2>bullpen greet them. You don't usually see that from a

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.680
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher. But he's a little bit more relaxed than

0:32:07.720 --> 0:32:11.480
<v Speaker 2>other starters on start day. But you have to imagine

0:32:11.480 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe he was trying to impress a little bit too

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:17.520
<v Speaker 2>much and it worked against him, especially early in the game.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Going back to what oral Herscheizer said on their broadcast,

0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:24.680
<v Speaker 2>in the fifth inning, when he needed a strikeout, a

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Jack Kgialleione who got him for a two run home run.

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 2>In the previous at bat, Herscheizer said on sports net LA,

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you need to get a slider here, not your best one,

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 2>but a slider, a competitive slider here, And that's exactly

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:43.520
<v Speaker 2>what Schoolboll threw to strike out Kagalione. And that was

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the biggest at bat of that fifth inning. Let's head

0:32:46.480 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 2>downstairs to the Dodgers clubhouse to hear from tonight's starter,

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Trek Skoubel on sports net LA.

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.280
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, I mean I just I kind of sprayed the

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:57.720
<v Speaker 15>ball a little bit. That's kind of unusual for me, especially,

0:32:57.720 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 15>you know, with fastball command and stuff like that. But

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:02.959
<v Speaker 15>you know, I thought I competed well and gave our

0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 15>team a chance to win. And you know, our offense

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:08.240
<v Speaker 15>picked me up big time, defense picked me up a

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 15>big time then, and the bullpen was outstanding tonight. So

0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 15>you know, all in all, a good a good team win,

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 15>you know, especially when I don't feel like I performed

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:17.480
<v Speaker 15>up to my standard.

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.040
<v Speaker 7>Would you feel like there was something in specific that

0:33:20.240 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 7>was just missing when it came to that command, the

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 7>fastball command of the field for you today, Yeah, I

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:24.880
<v Speaker 7>think it.

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 8>Was just fastball command. I was just spraying them up

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 8>a little bit too much.

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 15>You know, I got to get back to competing in

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 15>the strike zone, you know, and that's when I'm at

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:33.360
<v Speaker 15>my best, you know, consistently getting one and o two.

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:37.600
<v Speaker 15>But you know, we won, so it's you know, I'd

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:39.280
<v Speaker 15>gladly take that in a win, you know, any day

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:39.680
<v Speaker 15>of the week.

0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:42.080
<v Speaker 8>But you know, I'll be better going forward.

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 9>How do you how did you feel pitching here for

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 9>the first time as a fan favorite sport?

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:48.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, no, great environment.

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 15>I mean, the fans are they were great. You know,

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 15>it felt like I don't know how many of the

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 15>stadium holds, but it felt like there was forty fifty thousand,

0:33:57.360 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 15>forty minutes before the game in their seats, and you

0:33:59.640 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 15>know when I walked out there, it was that stuff special,

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 15>you know, and you appreciate it, you know, the fan support,

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:07.719
<v Speaker 15>and it's a is it Monday, Yeah, Monday night, you know,

0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 15>so you know I appreciate that for sure.

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.360
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel about the Dodgers offense?

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 8>Offense? Yeah, yeah, it was great.

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:17.160
<v Speaker 15>You know, score more runs another team, you know, that's

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.759
<v Speaker 15>the name of the game. And you know that that

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 15>base clearing triple had ended up being a was was huge.

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 15>You know, obviously in the moment and gave us a good,

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 15>you know, a good, good lead in this game. But

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:31.440
<v Speaker 15>you know, winds are winds are tough to come by

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 15>in this league, and and it's a it's good to

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 15>get one in the first game of a series.

0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 2>What if these last nine or however many days it's

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 2>been felt like for you, I think you were here

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:41.799
<v Speaker 2>for a few hours and you went on a road

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 2>with them, and then you come back, you make your

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:45.480
<v Speaker 2>deput're here, like, what is this all felt like?

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:46.080
<v Speaker 7>So far?

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 15>It's been great. It's been great. You know, the organization

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 15>is first class. This clubhouse is is is a very

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 15>tight knit group. And then and they've had my back

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:56.799
<v Speaker 15>through everything and and then and if I can feel it,

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.839
<v Speaker 15>you know, I felt it like two days into this

0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 15>thing in Chicago, and it's I think that's special, you know,

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 15>a very welcoming group here.

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 8>And then obviously the staff and.

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:08.959
<v Speaker 15>Support staff all that stuff, they've been They've been great

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.239
<v Speaker 15>to me and and in my family, you know, getting

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:14.799
<v Speaker 15>everything settled and as seamless as things can go, and

0:35:15.000 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 15>kind of when your life gets a little chaotic, you know,

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:19.160
<v Speaker 15>they've they've done a great job at calming all that

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 15>stuff down and helping us out and helping this transition

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 15>go really smoothly. So I really appreciate that, and you know,

0:35:24.560 --> 0:35:26.239
<v Speaker 15>I don't I don't expect any different, you know, from

0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:27.960
<v Speaker 15>what I've heard about the Dodgers from the outside, and

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 15>it's been a ton of fun to be a part of.

0:35:30.520 --> 0:35:33.720
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Trek school Bull after tonight's first start

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:37.359
<v Speaker 2>wearing a Dodger uniform in this ballpark, and he went

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.279
<v Speaker 2>five innings tonight, three earned runs, And really that was

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 2>the confusing part of tonight's game, and he explained it

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 2>that he wasn't using his force seamer as much as

0:35:47.239 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 2>you would expect that four seam fastball. He was able

0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 2>to strike out Bobby Wood Junior with it when he

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:55.479
<v Speaker 2>needed it in the third inning for the second out,

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:59.240
<v Speaker 2>but it just didn't seem like he felt comfortable changing

0:35:59.280 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>eye level from his sinker to his four seam fastball.

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:04.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a fastball that kind of goes up in the

0:36:04.880 --> 0:36:07.839
<v Speaker 2>strike zone, while his two seam fastball, the sinker, if

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>you will, ninety six plus down at the bottom of

0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the strike zone. It just didn't seem like he had

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:18.240
<v Speaker 2>a great confidence or feel for those two pitches coming

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 2>off each other. Tonight's game brought to you by Modello Modello,

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:23.240
<v Speaker 2>The Mark of a Fighter.

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:28.440
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Hose Mota.

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose Mota. We've been talking about how big

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 2>of a game this was, how big of a hit

0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 2>it was for Max Munsey and this offense in the

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning. How big do you believe this game was

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:41.400
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers.

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 16>This could be a turnaround. It should be a turnaround

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 16>because there's a lot of things lining up in the

0:36:46.680 --> 0:36:50.600
<v Speaker 16>way they acted, in the way that things were said

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:54.320
<v Speaker 16>by Dave Roberts, by the players themselves, the word urgency

0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:57.719
<v Speaker 16>being used a lot. You know, the phrase it's time now,

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:00.719
<v Speaker 16>you know, let's get going. It's important Dave, and you

0:37:00.760 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 16>know it happens against royals, and don't downplay that because

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 16>these are the teams that you gotta go out there

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 16>and beat. The Dodgers have done a very good job

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:10.800
<v Speaker 16>taking care of teams they're.

0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Supposed to beat.

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:14.200
<v Speaker 16>You're going to go through some struggles, but in a

0:37:14.280 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 16>game like today, with those so much on the line,

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 16>Scooble a little amped up. We know he was out

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:21.319
<v Speaker 16>of whack. That's that doesn't matter. I love his words

0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.560
<v Speaker 16>about the team one, which really is what you want

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:26.400
<v Speaker 16>to hear from anybody. But I there's an attitude from

0:37:26.480 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 16>Dave Roberts on to you know, guys, understanding that things

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:32.759
<v Speaker 16>could change from here on because you're now playing for

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 16>something else. And the clear thing that managers don't like

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:38.839
<v Speaker 16>to talk about Dave Roberts talking about he said before

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:41.279
<v Speaker 16>the game and you were there right now, we are

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 16>a wildcard team. Do you think this team wants to

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 16>hear that, this city won't hear that. No, And I

0:37:45.320 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 16>think that's a little wake of for everybody who are

0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 16>involved to go out there.

0:37:47.680 --> 0:37:50.879
<v Speaker 2>And do better without a doubt. Jose, when you put

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 2>it in those terms and you say we're a wildcard team,

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a wake up call for everybody. Because it is August,

0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:00.480
<v Speaker 2>there are only forty games to go. And I'm a

0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:04.480
<v Speaker 2>big believer that the urgency has to start with the

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 2>manager and the game planning before the game and the

0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 2>way they manage in the game. And Dave has certainly

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 2>showed that urgency the last couple of games.

0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 16>And we have seen this happen in the last two seasons,

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:19.440
<v Speaker 16>especially starting in September. Win de says, Okay, this is

0:38:19.480 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 16>my lineup. This who I'm going to play. In fact,

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:23.839
<v Speaker 16>I'm going to play a little bit differently because if

0:38:23.840 --> 0:38:26.279
<v Speaker 16>you go back to, you know, things that migol' rojal

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:29.680
<v Speaker 16>was talking about even last September about what they needed

0:38:29.680 --> 0:38:32.440
<v Speaker 16>to do is to go out them, celebrate the little things,

0:38:32.520 --> 0:38:36.040
<v Speaker 16>and get the guy aboard, win innings, win thirds of games.

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:37.920
<v Speaker 16>All those things add up for you to think, well,

0:38:37.960 --> 0:38:40.640
<v Speaker 16>we're doing something right, and at the very end, the

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 16>other team is just waiting for you to explode and

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:45.920
<v Speaker 16>do something. Here's something else I'm going to clarify here

0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:48.480
<v Speaker 16>to Dave, which is important that you know. You've been

0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 16>hearing about it. I've been hearing about it today. Average

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 16>age of roster all this team in the big leagues.

0:38:55.840 --> 0:39:00.319
<v Speaker 16>Chicago Cubs, okay, thirty one years, fifty eight days, Letter

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:04.080
<v Speaker 16>Braves number two thirty years, two seventy one, Dodgers number

0:39:04.120 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 16>three yet thirty years, two forty nine, Phillies Rangers. So

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:10.839
<v Speaker 16>where are these teams that they're all involved in something

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.400
<v Speaker 16>right now? So let's not talk about age or guys

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:15.560
<v Speaker 16>getting tired. That has nothing to do with it. It's

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:17.880
<v Speaker 16>just who you are, who you believe you are the

0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:20.279
<v Speaker 16>talent that you have and knowing that from here on

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:21.839
<v Speaker 16>it is they spring. You got to go out and

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 16>take care of business. So age has nothing to do

0:39:23.719 --> 0:39:23.840
<v Speaker 16>with this.

0:39:24.560 --> 0:39:26.719
<v Speaker 2>We always talk about the guy that gets the hit,

0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:30.160
<v Speaker 2>and Munsey was slumping. Obviously that was a big hit

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:32.840
<v Speaker 2>for him. But how about Kyle Tucker coming off the

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.799
<v Speaker 2>bench and giving Dave Roberts the at bat that he

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 2>wanted to set up the big hit for Muncie.

0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 16>And the attitude that Dave Roberts wanted. I mean, coming

0:39:42.880 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 16>out of the box the other day in Arizona, it

0:39:44.600 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 16>was a different Kyle Tucker. When he hit the ball

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.720
<v Speaker 16>down that line. It's like sprinting out of the box,

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 16>you know, not cruising into first base, second base, and

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:54.120
<v Speaker 16>see what happens. Same thing happened today to Oskart. I

0:39:54.160 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 16>think for him it's a message. Now, two consecutive games

0:39:56.640 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 16>where they pinch it for you because you're not getting

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:01.799
<v Speaker 16>to your pitches, you're not fighting through at bats, you're

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:03.000
<v Speaker 16>not competing with at bats.

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 3>He should get better.

0:40:05.040 --> 0:40:06.880
<v Speaker 16>They need him to be better. They need to be

0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:08.719
<v Speaker 16>hitting a little bit higher. But he has to go

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:13.040
<v Speaker 16>earn that and you know, feeling the side, that urgency

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.080
<v Speaker 16>and that message of here's who we are. Let's identify

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:19.160
<v Speaker 16>who we are and implement some plays. I mean Shohio

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 16>Tani alertness. I mean Tommy, I haven't playing defense. Remember

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 16>this team, there's not win a role series last year

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.399
<v Speaker 16>without defense. And every single series they played, starting against

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:29.640
<v Speaker 16>the risk, they made it out standing place. They made

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:32.439
<v Speaker 16>the routine plays and they were aware to play good

0:40:32.480 --> 0:40:36.600
<v Speaker 16>fundamental baseball team at bats and start from there. Before

0:40:36.640 --> 0:40:38.720
<v Speaker 16>you know it, there starts lugging. You know, score opens

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:40.600
<v Speaker 16>up a little bit more. But make sure you take

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 16>care of those teams are gunning for you, because you

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:44.480
<v Speaker 16>know the roles will have to come here and say, hey,

0:40:44.480 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 16>we kept going against the Dodgers and we found something

0:40:47.120 --> 0:40:50.240
<v Speaker 16>about ourselves. On the positive side, you're the Dodgers. Identify

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:52.480
<v Speaker 16>with that. Don't be cocky, don't be over confident, but

0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 16>know who you are and go out there and making

0:40:54.080 --> 0:40:55.360
<v Speaker 16>it every single time out.

0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us after the Dodgers come from

0:40:58.440 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 2>behind twice to beat the six to five tonight at

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium. Jose, you mentioned Tommy Edmund. I know we

0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:08.960
<v Speaker 2>watched the Dodgers. Obviously we don't get to see every

0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:13.880
<v Speaker 2>single other game, but that was, maybe, considering a guy

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:16.799
<v Speaker 2>that plays second base the majority of the time, the

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 2>best catch I've seen from a left fielder this season.

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:23.800
<v Speaker 16>There's no doubt about that one where he was playing

0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:25.600
<v Speaker 16>at where he had to come from a member. As

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:29.759
<v Speaker 16>a left fielder playing and going towards that line, it's

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 16>not glove sid you gotta go across your border to

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.560
<v Speaker 16>make that play. Tommy didn't glide into that play. He

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:36.239
<v Speaker 16>went to a spot where you think the ball is

0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 16>going to go into sprint there. Dan, He's got a

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 16>kind of start a step a little bit just to

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 16>make sure he's not going full bore into that wall.

0:41:43.239 --> 0:41:45.000
<v Speaker 16>But he did a very good job tracking in the

0:41:45.000 --> 0:41:47.960
<v Speaker 16>baseball and understanding that any play like that Dave as

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.080
<v Speaker 16>a left fielder is going to have a little slide

0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.239
<v Speaker 16>on it. You got to make sure it's the lies.

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.719
<v Speaker 16>You also do the same thing with your body adjusting.

0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:56.760
<v Speaker 16>So this guy is a guy that Tommy playing finally

0:41:56.840 --> 0:42:01.240
<v Speaker 16>unhealthy ankles. He's been a very good on the defensive side.

0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:03.040
<v Speaker 16>Even when he was limited, he was very good. But

0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:05.719
<v Speaker 16>before he came from the Cardinals, it was like, you know,

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 16>you put him in center field. He's the best in

0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:10.359
<v Speaker 16>our fielder, second base, short's up, just gets the job done.

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.600
<v Speaker 16>Tommy Edmands just a good all round ballplayer who can

0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:16.080
<v Speaker 16>inspire other guys to do the same thing by just

0:42:16.200 --> 0:42:16.919
<v Speaker 16>playing your game.

0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:20.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, I'm gonna leave you with this tonight.

0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:23.120
<v Speaker 2>But you thought schoolball was the main event. The main

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 2>events Tomorrow night, the real shows, tomorrow night seven. Yeah,

0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:30.960
<v Speaker 2>that's right, snell Zilla, You're gonna see him dominate tomorrow night.

0:42:31.520 --> 0:42:33.560
<v Speaker 16>I love to see that. I love to see him,

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:35.279
<v Speaker 16>you know, come here and stay and go out there

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:38.120
<v Speaker 16>and do what he did in October. We know who

0:42:38.200 --> 0:42:40.799
<v Speaker 16>he is. Yeah, he's got a couple of youngs, but

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:44.520
<v Speaker 16>I think Dave overall in the regular season, Dodgers fans

0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:46.440
<v Speaker 16>have not seen when you and I have witnessed this

0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:48.720
<v Speaker 16>guy on the opposing team. Remember I saw with Tampa

0:42:48.719 --> 0:42:51.800
<v Speaker 16>Bay and he was absolutely dominated as a young player.

0:42:52.239 --> 0:42:54.080
<v Speaker 16>Dodger fans have not seen the very best in the

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.160
<v Speaker 16>regular season yet from this guy, and he could be

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:56.840
<v Speaker 16>very special.

0:42:57.320 --> 0:42:59.880
<v Speaker 2>And for the first time as a Dodger, he's healthy.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:02.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's a scary thing for the rest of the league.

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.840
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna see it tomorrow, bump day with snell Zilla. Jose,

0:43:06.000 --> 0:43:07.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about it tomorrow night.

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:09.919
<v Speaker 16>Get some runs to work with, that's the one thing.

0:43:09.960 --> 0:43:11.400
<v Speaker 16>Get him some runs to work with, that would be

0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:12.600
<v Speaker 16>the most important thing.

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt. Early runs always helps the starting pitcher. Yes, sir,

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:18.920
<v Speaker 2>all right, we'll talk to you tomorrow.

0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 16>Okay, they'll be there, he goes.

0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Jose Morte part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Luis Cochito Cruz. That's right, snell Zilla day tomorrow, second

0:43:29.719 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 2>start of the season. And I'm just exuding the same

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:37.040
<v Speaker 2>type of confidence that Snell's been exuding to me over

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the course of the last two weeks. And the one

0:43:39.920 --> 0:43:43.400
<v Speaker 2>thing that you know, he's he's been talking about is

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the range of motion that he has. And for the

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:50.000
<v Speaker 2>first time in a long time, he said he doesn't

0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 2>have numbness in his fingers. After undergoing that two hour

0:43:54.800 --> 0:43:58.879
<v Speaker 2>nanoscope procedure by doctor Elatrosh he said as soon as

0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:01.719
<v Speaker 2>he woke up, he couldn't believe that he actually had

0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:04.880
<v Speaker 2>feelings at the tip of his fingers. Is pitching fingers.

0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.680
<v Speaker 2>He pitched last October, the way he dominated in the

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:13.880
<v Speaker 2>first three rounds without feelings in his fingers and that's

0:44:13.920 --> 0:44:16.919
<v Speaker 2>something that now he has, and now he has range

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:19.880
<v Speaker 2>of motion. And he said he hasn't felt this healthy

0:44:19.960 --> 0:44:22.520
<v Speaker 2>in three years. So you know, he could say all

0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:24.400
<v Speaker 2>he wants. He's got to prove it on the mound

0:44:24.480 --> 0:44:27.720
<v Speaker 2>because I don't care about what he did in Tampa

0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Bay or San Diego. I know you don't care what

0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:33.640
<v Speaker 2>he did in Tampa Bay or San Diego. And he's

0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:37.280
<v Speaker 2>very aware of that. Eight six six nine eight seven

0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:40.279
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

0:44:40.320 --> 0:44:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to Steve in North Hollywood. You're on Dodger Talk. Thanks

0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 2>for being patient, Steve.

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:47.360
<v Speaker 8>Hey, Dave, what are you doing tonight?

0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Doing great?

0:44:50.760 --> 0:44:53.879
<v Speaker 17>So I called you probably March April sometime around there,

0:44:53.880 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 17>and I'm like, hey, they should have pitched Otani, we

0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:58.640
<v Speaker 17>should bring him in August. And he said I was crazy.

0:44:59.239 --> 0:45:02.279
<v Speaker 17>But I I'm just wondering what you think about that.

0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:07.000
<v Speaker 17>If he would have maybe rested Otania and he brought

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:09.720
<v Speaker 17>me in August, or if you had just kept everything

0:45:09.760 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 17>the same.

0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 2>I would have pitched him, because here he is. He

0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:16.279
<v Speaker 2>hasn't gone on the IL and he's having a great year.

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:19.279
<v Speaker 2>He has twenty six home runs, he's hitting almost three

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:23.600
<v Speaker 2>hundred and look, Steve, I'm not against him trying to pitch,

0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:28.319
<v Speaker 2>but the Dodgers are going to be extremely careful and

0:45:28.440 --> 0:45:31.520
<v Speaker 2>have been with him because they don't want him to

0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:35.360
<v Speaker 2>irritate that left knee where it comes at a cost

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 2>of him being sidelined for an extended period of time

0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:42.960
<v Speaker 2>because they need him more as their leadoff hitter than

0:45:43.000 --> 0:45:47.280
<v Speaker 2>they need him as a pitcher. But how about this scenario, Steve,

0:45:47.760 --> 0:45:51.399
<v Speaker 2>what if I told you Otani could take down at

0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:55.760
<v Speaker 2>least nine outs, nine to twelve outs in a playoff game,

0:45:56.080 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 2>would you take that?

0:45:58.520 --> 0:45:58.759
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

0:45:58.800 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 7>Any day?

0:45:59.640 --> 0:45:59.920
<v Speaker 17>Sure?

0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think there's anything in danger of him,

0:46:04.480 --> 0:46:07.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, coming back and pitching, you know, and taking

0:46:07.600 --> 0:46:11.360
<v Speaker 2>down six to nine outs and combine him with a

0:46:11.440 --> 0:46:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Robleski or a glass Now or a Rokie in a

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 2>playoff game. To me, that sounds like a pretty good idea.

0:46:20.120 --> 0:46:20.960
<v Speaker 14>I think in.

0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:24.080
<v Speaker 17>October day, Will Roberts will get the field for il

0:46:24.080 --> 0:46:26.560
<v Speaker 17>a roster and everything will work itself out, and you know,

0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:29.239
<v Speaker 17>moreover that kind of you.

0:46:29.280 --> 0:46:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Know what the advantage of that too is, Steve? You

0:46:31.440 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 2>know what the advantage of all that is too? You

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:36.879
<v Speaker 2>don't have to leave another pitcher off just in case

0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:39.920
<v Speaker 2>O Tawny can pitch. He's in his own category. He

0:46:39.960 --> 0:46:43.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't count against your thirteen pitchers on your postseason roster.

0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:47.400
<v Speaker 2>So maybe at the beginning of the playoffs the knees

0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:49.440
<v Speaker 2>not working or you don't want to use him in

0:46:49.480 --> 0:46:52.320
<v Speaker 2>the first round, but then maybe in the second round.

0:46:52.840 --> 0:46:55.440
<v Speaker 2>And even if in the middle of a round he

0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 2>can pitch, he doesn't take away from somebody else. So

0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:03.759
<v Speaker 2>there's really no drawback for seeing how this goes and

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 2>being extra careful with it, which the Dodgers have been.

0:47:09.239 --> 0:47:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:47:09.800 --> 0:47:12.279
<v Speaker 17>Well, I mean again, Roberts will he'll figure it out.

0:47:12.320 --> 0:47:14.600
<v Speaker 17>And again I kind of like this little losing the

0:47:14.600 --> 0:47:17.000
<v Speaker 17>street kind of gets through the target off their back and.

0:47:17.400 --> 0:47:20.399
<v Speaker 2>Really allows them to the target's still on their back.

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Target is still very much on their back. They're not

0:47:23.280 --> 0:47:27.239
<v Speaker 2>the underdogs. Yeah, thanks Steve. Eight sixty six nine seven

0:47:27.320 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Look, I think

0:47:29.600 --> 0:47:34.120
<v Speaker 2>he was missing the point right there. The beauty of

0:47:34.200 --> 0:47:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Otani and the way the rules are set up because

0:47:37.719 --> 0:47:41.120
<v Speaker 2>he's so unique, is that even now in the regular

0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:45.400
<v Speaker 2>season on a twenty six man roster, he's not counted

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:48.319
<v Speaker 2>as a pitcher because he's a two way player. It's

0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:50.920
<v Speaker 2>its own category. That's the way it would go in

0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:54.719
<v Speaker 2>the postseason as well. So let's say the Dodgers, you know,

0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 2>want to give that left knee a little extra time,

0:47:57.719 --> 0:48:00.600
<v Speaker 2>or Otani wants to try to refine them mechanics a

0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 2>little bit more. You can have Otani even in the

0:48:05.000 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 2>middle of an NLCS Best a seven series, if it's

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 2>being extended and you feel like you need a guy

0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:13.080
<v Speaker 2>to take down the first nine outs of a game,

0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 2>he could be that guy for you and it doesn't

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:19.480
<v Speaker 2>take another picture off the roster. So that's the beauty

0:48:19.520 --> 0:48:21.920
<v Speaker 2>of all that. And that's the reason why guys like

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Great Council are so upset these days because Otani's on

0:48:25.800 --> 0:48:29.040
<v Speaker 2>a playoff team. Now, let's go out to Pallas Verdi's

0:48:29.440 --> 0:48:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Eddie walk Us off on Dodger Talk tonight. How are

0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:32.640
<v Speaker 2>you doing, Eddie?

0:48:33.840 --> 0:48:37.440
<v Speaker 11>I'm doing good. Dave, how about you?

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:40.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great? And the show strong Eddie.

0:48:41.120 --> 0:48:45.520
<v Speaker 11>Oh okay, I want to say to everybody, all the

0:48:45.560 --> 0:48:49.240
<v Speaker 11>Dodger fans and even some of the post game stuff

0:48:49.280 --> 0:48:55.480
<v Speaker 11>that's going on with with Hernandez ti Oscar, I think

0:48:56.360 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 11>you know he got pretty good at a hitting today,

0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:04.239
<v Speaker 11>hitting the ball, and uh, he.

0:49:04.239 --> 0:49:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Had a better game today. I'm with you, Eddie, he

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:07.440
<v Speaker 2>had a better game.

0:49:07.280 --> 0:49:11.279
<v Speaker 11>Today, Bobby, Bobby what Junior made two great plays?

0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he hit it on the ground. That he

0:49:13.880 --> 0:49:16.840
<v Speaker 2>hit it on the ground, Well, don't hit it on

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the ground. You're te Oscar Hernandez.

0:49:20.000 --> 0:49:22.360
<v Speaker 11>Right, right, right. But I think he's all in with

0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:25.040
<v Speaker 11>just not trying to hit a home run and just

0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:25.960
<v Speaker 11>to hit the balls.

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Like I disagree with you. I think he's trying to

0:49:28.239 --> 0:49:30.680
<v Speaker 2>get twenty home runs in one swing, Eddie. That's what

0:49:30.719 --> 0:49:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I've seen. Thanks for the phone call. Let's take one

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:36.960
<v Speaker 2>more Lewis in the Bay Area. It's late night, Lewis,

0:49:37.000 --> 0:49:39.080
<v Speaker 2>people have insomnia, So I'm going to get you on

0:49:39.120 --> 0:49:39.840
<v Speaker 2>the show tonight.

0:49:41.239 --> 0:49:43.560
<v Speaker 6>You're a goot, You're a good person. I'm looking forward

0:49:43.640 --> 0:49:48.320
<v Speaker 6>to seeing seeing you Saturday night when I'm coming down

0:49:49.200 --> 0:49:51.640
<v Speaker 6>for Reggie Smith, one of my all time.

0:49:53.360 --> 0:49:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Love it. I think miss Rowski is going to be

0:49:55.440 --> 0:50:00.120
<v Speaker 2>pitching for the Brewers on Saturday. Actually, who's for the Dodger?

0:50:01.280 --> 0:50:04.680
<v Speaker 2>That would be I had that at my fingertips here.

0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So what else do you want to know Lewis? Besides

0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the pitching matchup. Well, for the game you're coming to,

0:50:11.000 --> 0:50:13.919
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be Robleski versus Misowski the way it's

0:50:13.920 --> 0:50:14.879
<v Speaker 2>lined up right now.

0:50:16.320 --> 0:50:21.040
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Well, that's wonderful. I'm really looking forward to it.

0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:26.080
<v Speaker 6>I think what everybody has said about Diaz that's probably

0:50:26.120 --> 0:50:33.719
<v Speaker 6>the most significant thing. And I'm hoping that Tucker is

0:50:34.080 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 6>finally coming out. It seems that the Advats are a

0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:45.040
<v Speaker 6>little bit better, and I really like Sidusha. I have

0:50:45.120 --> 0:50:49.279
<v Speaker 6>to say that it's a tough one without Will Smith there,

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:55.240
<v Speaker 6>but the ingredients and Rojas is why you shared. Tonight

0:50:55.719 --> 0:50:58.680
<v Speaker 6>was great. I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 6>been in the stadium since Fernando was honored in twenty three.

0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:04.960
<v Speaker 6>Did I try and hunt you down?

0:51:06.080 --> 0:51:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I'll have some coffee with me. I'll be ready, Yes,

0:51:09.800 --> 0:51:10.480
<v Speaker 2>hunt me down.

0:51:12.000 --> 0:51:13.120
<v Speaker 6>Okay, that's great.

0:51:13.360 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Will I will know. Yeah, I'd love to meet you, Lewis.

0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:18.760
<v Speaker 2>You're a loyal Dodger fan and we appreciate you listening

0:51:18.800 --> 0:51:21.279
<v Speaker 2>and calling in. And it'll be a special night. And

0:51:21.320 --> 0:51:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Smith certainly deserves his due because he was one

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:28.799
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest players of his generation, and some may

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:31.720
<v Speaker 2>say deserves a spot in Cooperstown as well. He's actually

0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:35.640
<v Speaker 2>being inducted into the Negro League Hall of Fame this

0:51:35.760 --> 0:51:38.360
<v Speaker 2>year as well, So he deserves all the love he

0:51:38.440 --> 0:51:42.600
<v Speaker 2>gets and I'm looking forward to celebrating him too. Gotta run, Lewis,

0:51:42.600 --> 0:51:45.799
<v Speaker 2>We'll see you Saturday night. Get that head start now tomorrow,
