Speaker 2: a road trip it has been, Dodger fans. A sweep
Speaker 2: of the Angels over the weekend in Anaheim and then
Speaker 2: they go down to San Diego drop the series opener
Speaker 2: one to nothing in a pitchers duel between Michael King
Speaker 2: and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. They bounce back on Tuesday, getting to
Speaker 2: Mason Miller the ninth inning with a five to four win,
Speaker 2: and then last Night All About Show, Hey Otani two
Speaker 2: way show as he hits a leadoff home runn of
Speaker 2: the first and then five shutout innings. The bullpen did

Speaker 2: against the Milwaukee Brewers. Eight six, six, nine, eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy. Get in now, as we'll have time
Speaker 2: to take your phone calls here early in this show,
Speaker 2: James Tibbs the Third is going to join us, coming
Speaker 2: up in about fifteen minutes or so. James TIBs the
Speaker 2: Third the Dodgers one of their top outfields, twenty three
Speaker 2: year old they got last year in the trade for
Speaker 2: Dustin May a former first round pick of the San
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants a year ago. Been traded twice and the
Speaker 2: Dodgers landed him and they are lucky to have him.
Speaker 2: What a great spring he had at Camel Back Ranch.
Speaker 2: With the major league team opened up a lot of eyes.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you Dodger fans have been
Speaker 2: asking about James Timms the third. He hit seven home
Speaker 2: runs in the first ten days of the season in
Speaker 2: Triple A, hitting over three hundred right now, having himself
Speaker 2: a really good twenty twenty six season in Triple A.
Speaker 2: To think, he started last year in High A ball,
Speaker 2: finished in Double A. Now he's in Triple A. He's
Speaker 2: only twenty three years old, and again he is knocking
Speaker 2: on the door to the Major League. There's no room
Speaker 2: for James TIMPs to third right now, but if something
Speaker 2: were to open up because of an injury or whatnot,
Speaker 2: you know that he is going to be the first
Speaker 2: one ready to go and get called up from Triple
Speaker 2: A because of the season he is having and they
Speaker 2: like him an awful lot. So we'll hear from James
Speaker 2: Tim's the third coming up in just a little bit.
Speaker 2: We'll get you a full farm report as well, coming
Speaker 2: up at about seven to forty five as we get
Speaker 2: ready for a lookdown on what is happening from TRIPLEA
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City all the way down to Ontario and the
Speaker 2: tower buzzers, but a plenty of your time for your
Speaker 2: phone calls. Let's dive into it right now as the
Speaker 2: Dodgers a one and a half game lead in the
Speaker 2: division going in tomorrow till Milwaukee and against a first
Speaker 2: place Milwaukee Brewers team in the NL Central, and it
Speaker 2: is gonna be like it was in the playoffs, a
Speaker 2: good showdown with good pitching and good strong hitting and
Speaker 2: two really good lineups on both sides. Pat Murphy, he
Speaker 2: knows how to coach. This guy is a winner or
Speaker 2: wherever he has been, and he has been sensational with
Speaker 2: Milwaukee since Craig Council left to go to Chicago. So
Speaker 2: we expect three exciting games from Milwaukee. First pitch tomorrow
Speaker 2: is coming up at four forty with Justin Robluski scheduled
Speaker 2: to get the start. The Dodgers had some injury news
Speaker 2: on Tuesday with the surgery to Blake Snell. He had
Speaker 2: a couple of loose bodies removed him his left throwing elbow,
Speaker 2: and much has been talked about the last week with
Speaker 2: this nanoscope procedure. These bodies that have been removed from
Speaker 2: the elbow. Now three pitchers this year that at least
Speaker 2: I know of, and when Diaz had it last month,
Speaker 2: the Dodger reliever is gonna be out until after the
Speaker 2: All Star break. Trek Scuolbell had it done back on
Speaker 2: May sixth, So what just three weeks ago. Tarrek Scooble
Speaker 2: is back throwing now, in case you've missed it. And
Speaker 2: I bring this up because certainly every arm injury is different,
Speaker 2: every surgery is different. Terrek Scoobel had one body removed
Speaker 2: from the elbow. He used to call him bone chips.
Speaker 2: He had one body removed from the elbow. Well, Blake
Speaker 2: Snell had a couple removed by doctor Neil la Trash.
Speaker 2: Is there significant? Who knows? But Trek Scoulble today through
Speaker 2: a third bullpen session for the Detroit Tigers, and if
Speaker 2: he pretty much had the same or similar surgery to
Speaker 2: what Blake Snell had, we can sort of look at
Speaker 2: their timelines sort of similarly. Right, Blake Snell is scheduled
Speaker 2: to come back. I don't know in a couple of months.
Speaker 2: Terry Scouble since May six has now thrown three bullpen sessions.
Speaker 2: Today a thirty five pitch bullpen session. He had a
Speaker 2: couple of updowns to simulate pitching in a game. Now,
Speaker 2: he'll travel with the team this weekend as they hit
Speaker 2: the road to go to Baltimore, and he'll be looked
Speaker 2: at further by their medical staff and they're gonna determine
Speaker 2: what the next step is. As far as Tarrek Schouoble,
Speaker 2: is it a simgame, is it a longer bullpen session?
Speaker 2: Certainly he's got to build his way back up and
Speaker 2: you're not gonna rush the guy. But it is interesting,
Speaker 2: three weeks removed from a nanoscope surgery, the one that's
Speaker 2: very similar, if not the same, to what Blake Snell
Speaker 2: had on Tuesday, could we then start to put similar
Speaker 2: timelines together for these two pitchers. Again, everybody's different, everybody
Speaker 2: heals different, every surgery is different, but we can kind
Speaker 2: of gauge, right what a timeline might look like. And
Speaker 2: if Terry Scougle, who had a non invasive procedure done
Speaker 2: the nanoscope, the same thing that was done to Blake
Speaker 2: Snell on Tuesday, could we see some similarities? I hope.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers are certainly keeping their fingers crossed. But at
Speaker 2: this point, right now, the Dodgers are looking at a
Speaker 2: more near return for Tyler glassnew as opposed to Blake Snell.
Speaker 2: And that's also a reason why the Dodgers went out
Speaker 2: and got Eric Lauer that like they did just a
Speaker 2: week ago off of waivers and then claimed a minor
Speaker 2: league trade with the Toronto Blue Jays and hopes to
Speaker 2: build up some death and in fact he's going to
Speaker 2: be starting for the Dodgers on Tuesday, and then we
Speaker 2: turn home and taste on the Colorado Rockies. We'll see
Speaker 2: Eric Lawer the newest Dodger in this rotation to again
Speaker 2: make it a six man Dodgers rotation, so again could
Speaker 2: be good news. We'll keep an eye on Trek Scooble
Speaker 2: and what's happening with the left hander for the Detroit
Speaker 2: Tigers because again could show a similar timeline to how
Speaker 2: long Blake Snell is going to be out. No new
Speaker 2: update on Tyler Glass. Now still throwing off flat ground,
Speaker 2: so he's able to come off the eligible to come
Speaker 2: off the injured list this weekend. It is not trending
Speaker 2: in that direction. It is not happening, let's just be honest.
Speaker 2: So it has now been pushed back even further. Now,
Speaker 2: somebody to keep an eye on who will be eligible
Speaker 2: to come off the injured list when the Dodgers return
Speaker 2: home on Monday against the Rockies. Keithk Hernandez, who has
Speaker 2: been in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City playing for the comments playing
Speaker 2: for little with third base, playing the outfield, playing multiple
Speaker 2: positions like Keik can do, getting his at bats in,
Speaker 2: and Kei k is scheduled to come off the injured
Speaker 2: list again early next week on Monday. He could be
Speaker 2: back with the Dodgers. Will they bring him back as
Speaker 2: soon as he's able to come off the il well.
Speaker 2: Key k Hernandez was on with Petro Some Money last
Speaker 2: month in a really cool in depth inside the locker
Speaker 2: room interview with Key k and he looked at that
Speaker 2: day when he can come off the injured list, and
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth has already kind of been circled. Is
Speaker 2: to day he could come off the injured list. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers will be on the road, So Monday, Memorial Day
Speaker 2: could be the day we see Key k Hernandez come
Speaker 2: off the injured list. And then again we're looking at
Speaker 2: a roster move. What would that roster move be? What
Speaker 2: are the Dodgers gonna do? They do very well at
Speaker 2: juggling the roster and making sure that they are at
Speaker 2: the best they can be and guys get the proper rest.
Speaker 2: So maybe it's an eel stent for somebody, but again,
Speaker 2: just something to keep an eye on as far as
Speaker 2: the injuries are concerned. Blake Snell, Tarrek Scubel similar surgeries.
Speaker 2: Will keep an eye on Arry Scoobl's return and how
Speaker 2: that could affect Blake Snell's return. Tyler Glass now not
Speaker 2: going to come off the injured list this weekend. He
Speaker 2: is not close, even though the backspasmens have flared down
Speaker 2: for the most part. And again and key k Hernandez
Speaker 2: Dodger fans key K will be back, and it's trending
Speaker 2: like he'll be back for the next home stand against
Speaker 2: the Colorado Rockies. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy. Eight sixty six nine to eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the number if you want to jump
Speaker 2: on board again. James Tips the third, we'll talk to
Speaker 2: him coming up a little bit later this hour. And
Speaker 2: then we got a farm report coming up as well.
Speaker 2: For you. Do you realize what shoe Otani did last
Speaker 2: night in San Diego? He hit a home run to
Speaker 2: lead off the game. He's now hit twenty one leadoff
Speaker 2: home runs, tiny with John Peterson for third all time
Speaker 2: for the La Dodgers. But then goes out and throws
Speaker 2: five shutout and he's lowering his ERA to zero point
Speaker 2: seventy three. Do you realize what kind of category he
Speaker 2: is in? What kind of status he has now put
Speaker 2: himself in. Six pitchers in the history of the game
Speaker 2: through the eight starts of his season have had a
Speaker 2: sub one er like Showeo time has. Two of them
Speaker 2: are now Dodgers Show Hey Otani and Fernando Valenzuela. The
Speaker 2: great Fernando back in nineteen eighty one had the start
Speaker 2: of a career at the start of the season that
Speaker 2: may never be duplicated, and he had a point zero
Speaker 2: five ERRA through the first eight starts of his rookie
Speaker 2: season there in nineteen eighty one, that is best all time.
Speaker 2: But now show Heyotani here in twenty twenty six through
Speaker 2: eight starts has an ERA of zero point seven to three.
Speaker 2: That is pretty impressive company to be in line with
Speaker 2: there Fernando Valenzuela, now show Heyotani. Two Dodger starting pitchers,
Speaker 2: sixth total in the history of the game have had
Speaker 2: ras sub one in their first eight starts of the season.
Speaker 2: Pretty rare company. He is certainly in no doubt about that,
Speaker 2: but also even more rare. And to show even more
Speaker 2: how much show Aotani is a unicorn. A handful of
Speaker 2: players in the history of game have let off while
Speaker 2: serving as a starting pitcher. I mean, you can literally
Speaker 2: count him on your hand. None of ever homer to
Speaker 2: start a game. Sho Hao Tani has now done it
Speaker 2: twice in his Dodger career. He did it in Game
Speaker 2: four of the NLCS last year, and then he did
Speaker 2: it again last night. I mean, it's pretty remarkable to
Speaker 2: see what Shoho Tani has done as a player. And
Speaker 2: again we know how special he is. We know what
Speaker 2: he could do as a unicorn of a player on
Speaker 2: the mound and as a hitter a sub one era,
Speaker 2: as a pitcher and now the only player that's homered
Speaker 2: to lead off a game while also be in the
Speaker 2: starting pitcher. Again, just stupid numbers, stupid things that he
Speaker 2: continues to put up at ridiculous amounts to show him
Speaker 2: how good he is. Last night, he was fantastic. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers shut out the Padres four nothing but I don't
Speaker 2: think Dodger fans realize as good as his offense has
Speaker 2: been and Kyle Tucker's heating up to Oscar Hernandez Droven
Speaker 2: a couple more. Last night show Ay is Show, Hey,
Speaker 2: Mookie had himself a good couple of games in San Diego.
Speaker 2: He is now starting to turn the corner offensively and
Speaker 2: get that average up. The Dodgers' bullpen, Don't look now,
Speaker 2: is one of the best in baseball here in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. After last night's four shutout innings from Bengardo Enriquez,
Speaker 2: Blake trin In, Kyle Hurt, and Will Klein, the Dodgers
Speaker 2: bullpen collectively has now twenty nine consecutive scoreless innings. It's
Speaker 2: the longest streak for a Dodgers' bullpen since nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 2: third longest since moving to Los Angeles. And they're doing
Speaker 2: it without Edwin Diaz, who they went out and gotten
Speaker 2: free agency to be that closer again this year. Because
Speaker 2: of the ups and downs and mostly downs of last
Speaker 2: year in Tanner Scott, they went out and got another
Speaker 2: arm to be the closer. He gets hurt and what
Speaker 2: happens The Dodgers now collectively have one of the best,
Speaker 2: if not the best bullpen in baseball, with Kyle Hurt
Speaker 2: emerging as a go to high leverage reliever late in
Speaker 2: the game again fantastic last night. Will Klein and his
Speaker 2: sweeper continues to fool hitters at Gardo and Riquez, And
Speaker 2: I mean this in a nice comparison, is the new
Speaker 2: Bruce dar Grattle and Bruce dar Snake bit with injuries,
Speaker 2: tried to come back in Triple A and his back
Speaker 2: is now bothering him. He's had shoulder fatigue, now his
Speaker 2: back is bothering again. He hasn't pitched in the game
Speaker 2: since the postseason of twenty twenty four, so it is
Speaker 2: not looking good for Bruce darr coming back. But in
Speaker 2: his absence last year at Gardo and Riquez, big strong,
Speaker 2: right handed thrower, one hundred plus miles an hour electric fastball, well,
Speaker 2: he's zoned in on his off speed pitches now and
Speaker 2: his control, and Guardo and Riquez has turned into that Bazuka,
Speaker 2: that hard throwing right hander one hundred miles an hour plus.
Speaker 2: Blake Trinan not asked to do too much go out there,
Speaker 2: just put up zeros when it asked Upawn this Dodgers'
Speaker 2: bullpen is turned into an elite bullpen here in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six. And when you add to that a starting
Speaker 2: pitching staff that has cooled off, the numbers are starting
Speaker 2: to come down. But at one point to start the season,
Speaker 2: the first six weeks, they were pitching into the fifth
Speaker 2: and sixth inning deeper than they pretty much any other
Speaker 2: team in the National League as far as starting pitches
Speaker 2: and concern alleviating some of the work that the bullpen
Speaker 2: had to do. You add strong starting pitching and a
Speaker 2: dominant bullpen. I mean, this Dodger pitching staff is clicking
Speaker 2: right now as we get ready to head into Memorial
Speaker 2: Day weekend, and right now at one and a half
Speaker 2: game lead for the Dodgers going into Milwaukee in what
Speaker 2: should be a thrilling series eight to sixty six, nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven, two, five, seventy the other big thing in
Speaker 2: baseball through the quarter mark of this season, we just
Speaker 2: passed the quarter mark way of the twenty twenty six season,
Speaker 2: Dodgers thirty one and nineteen overall on the year. So
Speaker 2: what is that fifty games now? In I wasn't a
Speaker 2: math major, but I could add, right, thirty one and nineteen.
Speaker 2: That's fifty games. The Dodgers and the ABS. The Automated
Speaker 2: Ball Strike System. Now, I don't know how you feel
Speaker 2: about it. I know I'm in love with it. I
Speaker 2: think what Rob Manford and baseball as a whole have
Speaker 2: done the last few years have absolutely been home runs,
Speaker 2: no pun attended. They have absolutely hit it out of
Speaker 2: the park. As far as helping the game at baseball,
Speaker 2: the pitch clock, the three batter minimum, and now the ABS,
Speaker 2: it has been fantastic for the game. You're seeing the
Speaker 2: younger pitches already adapted to it. You're seeing the ABS
Speaker 2: challenge system work like it's supposed to. But you're also
Speaker 2: seeing a shift in the game. You're seeing the game
Speaker 2: change right in front of your eyes. Now, the number
Speaker 2: aren't dramatic, and we all love numbers, they aren't dramatic
Speaker 2: right now. As far as okay, are walks up? Are
Speaker 2: walks down? Our strikeouts up? Our strikeouts down? Where are
Speaker 2: we As far as balls put into play run scored?
Speaker 2: It's still early to figure that out. The numbers are,
Speaker 2: you know, a tick up, tick down no matter where
Speaker 2: you look. But the Dodgers as a whole with the
Speaker 2: ABS have been fantastic, top ten in baseball in total
Speaker 2: challenge success nearly sixty percent of the time they're successful.
Speaker 2: The pitcher catcher challenge success for the Dodgers top five
Speaker 2: in baseball at sixty six percent. The batter challenge success
Speaker 2: still top ten in baseball, but at only forty nine
Speaker 2: percent individually. Will Smith, Dodger catcher, an elite framer, doesn't
Speaker 2: need to be that anymore because of the automated ball
Speaker 2: strike system. It has changed the way catching is done.
Speaker 2: No longer can you steal strikes in the major leagues.
Speaker 2: No longer is it all about catch framing, catching the
Speaker 2: ball and stealing a strike, getting that glove back into
Speaker 2: the zone so it appears to be a strike and
Speaker 2: catch a strikeout or catch a strike for your pitcher.
Speaker 2: Doesn't work that way anymore because the computer don't lie,
Speaker 2: because if you try to steal a strike, that batter
Speaker 2: could tap his helmet and call you out and the
Speaker 2: umpire out for a strikeout. No better example is that
Speaker 2: of Will Smith, who was one of the best and
Speaker 2: elite pitch framers in baseball. Now he's become one of
Speaker 2: the best challengers in baseball, successfully overturning nearly seventy five
Speaker 2: percent of the challenge calls. He is twenty nine of
Speaker 2: thirty eight this season, second catcher in baseball on successful challenges,
Speaker 2: only behind Wilson Contreres of the Milwaukee Brewers. Ta Oscar Hernandez,
Speaker 2: about as far as hitters are concerned, has challenged the
Speaker 2: ABS nine times. It's been successful six times. That's top
Speaker 2: ten in all of Major League Baseball. The ABS challenge
Speaker 2: system has resulted in a smaller, more literal strike zone.
Speaker 2: It's got a significant drop in catcher pitch framing value.
Speaker 2: Throw that out the window. Pitch framing is done. It
Speaker 2: was a fad for about eight years in baseball, but
Speaker 2: no more. The computer don't lie. That is big and
Speaker 2: it's changed the way pitchers attack strike zones. And I'm
Speaker 2: gonna use two different guys here, one Justin Robleski and
Speaker 2: the other being Blake Snell. Blake Snell made one start,
Speaker 2: got hurt again with the elbow. Well the day after
Speaker 2: his start, he talked with David Vase and we don't
Speaker 2: have time to get to it, but you can listen
Speaker 2: to it on the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. He
Speaker 2: went in depth about how the strikes in the last
Speaker 2: ten years has completely changed obviously, and the ABS for him,
Speaker 2: this is his first time pitching in the game back
Speaker 2: on May ninth, was hard for him because he couldn't
Speaker 2: get those calls on the and nibbling on the outside
Speaker 2: part of the plate, or get the high strike or
Speaker 2: the low striker or the inside strike, which he thought
Speaker 2: he would get and has gotten over the years, just weren't.
Speaker 2: They're not there anymore. So because of that, you have
Speaker 2: to pitch to the strike zone more, and you got
Speaker 2: to pitch into a hitter strike zone and get pitched
Speaker 2: to contact. Guy hit around a little bit more than usual.
Speaker 2: It's different for older pitchers. They're getting used to it.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell one start was just getting his feet wet.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski, young pitcher, came up in the minor league
Speaker 2: system a couple of years ago when they were starting
Speaker 2: to use the ABS, and came up a couple of
Speaker 2: years ago when they were certainly using the pitch clock
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. So he's adapted and used to
Speaker 2: both of them. And look at what Justin Robleski does.
Speaker 2: Attacks to strike zones, throw strikes, forces guys to try
Speaker 2: to swing and make contact, put the ball in play,
Speaker 2: there was an outing, he had a couple of starts
Speaker 2: ago right did not have a single strikeout, but he
Speaker 2: was pitching to contact and getting outs and getting through hitters.
Speaker 2: So I think as a whole we're gonna see strikeouts
Speaker 2: drop because of this ABS system, not dramatically, but you're
Speaker 2: gonna see more contact, more less swing and miss more
Speaker 2: contact in baseball. And as a fan, I think we
Speaker 2: could all agree that's a good thing. Right. We love
Speaker 2: strikeouts if your team is the pitcher throwing the strikeouts.
Speaker 2: But we all know we don't want to sit there
Speaker 2: a game where it's three hits and twenty six strikeouts
Speaker 2: combined between the two teams. We want a little offense.
Speaker 2: We want the ball in play. We want to see
Speaker 2: guys have to play defense. We want to see guys
Speaker 2: going and running, taking two on a ball hitting the gap.
Speaker 2: Those are the kind of things we want to see.
Speaker 2: And the ABS has completely flip the lid here on
Speaker 2: pitch framing and catch in baseball. And I think it's
Speaker 2: interesting to look at the numbers through the first fifty
Speaker 2: games of the season for the Dodgers, the first quarter
Speaker 2: point here of the season in Major League Baseball, and
Speaker 2: how it's changed. We saw the pitch clock change baseball
Speaker 2: last year for the better, the three pitch minimum, and
Speaker 2: I think now through the quarter point of the season,
Speaker 2: we are certainly seeing the benefits of the ABS eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 2: eighty seven two five to seventy. We'll try to get
Speaker 2: to your phone calls if we can. We got a
Speaker 2: farm report coming up and up next. Looking forward to
Speaker 2: talking to James Tibbs the Third. He's in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City,
Speaker 2: tearing the cover off the ball, having a great season.
Speaker 2: Started the year in a ball last year with the
Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants, traded to the Rofield Devers, deal to
Speaker 2: Boston and then traded for Dustin May to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Three teams in the last year. But he's found a
Speaker 2: home in this Dodger organization, a great spring with the
Speaker 2: major league team. And keep an eye on James tips
Speaker 2: the Third coming up to the Dodgers at any point
Speaker 2: this season. We'll talk to him next right here on
Speaker 2: off Night Dodger Talk. Thanks for being with us on
Speaker 2: A five seventy LA Sports Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Off Night Dodger Talk continues here on AM five to seventy.
Speaker 2: LA Sports is the Dodgers, fresh off taking two of
Speaker 2: three in San Diego against the Padres, a game and
Speaker 2: a half lead in the division as a head to
Speaker 2: Milwaukee for a three game weekend set against the first
Speaker 2: place Brewers in the NL Central Morongo Casino Dodgers on deck,
Speaker 2: getting it all started a three thirty tomorrow afternoon, four
Speaker 2: to forty. First pitch from Milwaukee. All right, we'll get
Speaker 2: back to your phone calls in a little bit. But
Speaker 2: a pleasure out to spend in a few minutes with
Speaker 2: one of the Dodgers' top minor league prospects. You heard
Speaker 2: his name all spring long for tearing it up in
Speaker 2: the Cactus League over in Arizona. He's off to a
Speaker 2: great start here in twenty twenty six in Triple A,
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, with the comments he of courses Dodger outfielder
Speaker 2: James Tibbs the third and he joins us now here
Speaker 2: on off Night you talk, James, appreciate the time.
Speaker 1: How you doing, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Absolutely appreciate you coming on here on Dodger Talk. You're
Speaker 2: you're in Triple A, Oklahoma City. A great start to
Speaker 2: the season, you had the seven home runs in the
Speaker 2: first nine games.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: What has that jump been like for you at the
Speaker 2: Triple A level this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been. It's been interesting. I think, Uh, at
Speaker 4: triple you see a lot of guys with a lot
Speaker 4: of time in the big leagues and whether it be
Speaker 4: business players or pitchers, and you know, specifically on the
Speaker 4: pitching side, a lot of guys have a really good
Speaker 4: idea what they're doing on the mouth, and so it
Speaker 4: kind of creates a lot a lot more of a
Speaker 4: chess match for me and trying to figure out what
Speaker 4: they're doing, trying to figure out, you know, as they're
Speaker 4: trying to figure out what I'm doing. And it's just
Speaker 4: kind of the cat and mouse game that I love about,
Speaker 4: you know, baseball itself. And it's given me, giving me
Speaker 4: some some difficulties at times, but I think at the
Speaker 4: same time, it's kind of helped me understand, uh, even more,
Speaker 4: you know, about my game and about what makes me,
Speaker 4: you know, tick at the plate and how I can
Speaker 4: be the best that can be. So it's been it's
Speaker 4: been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. Obviously,
Speaker 4: there's going to be ups and downs in the season
Speaker 4: and definitely been been in a couple ups and a
Speaker 4: couple of downs and trying to figure out how to
Speaker 4: you know, make those uh you know, learn from those
Speaker 4: and and be the best player I can be.
Speaker 2: We mentioned you had a great spring at Camelback ran
Speaker 2: shot over three hundred four home runs eleven RBIs.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: What was a message though from the Dodgers front office
Speaker 2: when they called you in and said you're going back
Speaker 2: to the minor league camp, You're going to start the
Speaker 2: year in Triple A Oklahoma City. What was the message
Speaker 2: they gave you to go work on, to go do,
Speaker 2: to go prepare for this year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I just think it was continuing to
Speaker 4: work on the things we had really focused on spring training,
Speaker 4: which was, you know, the defensive versatility, playing in the outfield,
Speaker 4: playing multiple spots in the outfield, playing first base, be
Speaker 4: able to do those well because we really, uh we
Speaker 4: really value that, you know, as an organization, and so
Speaker 4: that's something that I take a lot of pride in
Speaker 4: and I really enjoyed. And so from that side of
Speaker 4: the of the ball. Definitely continue to work in those
Speaker 4: areas and making continue to make strides. I think they
Speaker 4: really liked where I was what was at defensively, but
Speaker 4: I think it's just continuing to make strides there. And
Speaker 4: I think the other thing was just continuing to work
Speaker 4: on the little things with my swing, trying to figure out,
Speaker 4: you know, we've made some swing adjustments in the off season,
Speaker 4: so trying to figure out where when things go wrong,
Speaker 4: what that looks like, and being able to minimize, you know,
Speaker 4: downstretches and continue to hit left your relievers, which is
Speaker 4: something that you know, I take a lot of pride
Speaker 4: in as well. So I think all, you know, all
Speaker 4: those things were things I already knew, which I was
Speaker 4: thankful for, but also things that I was excited to
Speaker 4: come and work on. And Okay, see, we'll.
Speaker 2: Go back to last year, James, if we can, a
Speaker 2: world win year for you. Thirteen months after you were
Speaker 2: drafted by the Giants, traded to the Red Sox, and
Speaker 2: then the Dodgers acquire you in the trade for Dustin May.
Speaker 2: Three teams in like forty seven forty eight days as
Speaker 2: a baseball player. What is that like for you? I mean,
Speaker 2: you're in your first full year of pro ball and
Speaker 2: now you're on your third organization. What was going through
Speaker 2: your mind.
Speaker 4: Who oh man, you got an hour? Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 4: think it was. It was tough. You know, I think
Speaker 4: for a guy that ed played for three teams his
Speaker 4: whole life, you know, one college, one high school, and
Speaker 4: one travel ball organization, really it took a toll on me.
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't I didn't really know the business
Speaker 4: side of baseball, and so, uh, you know, from the
Speaker 4: outside looking in, it's like, well, you know, he got
Speaker 4: traded whatever. But for me, it was it was hard.
Speaker 4: You know, I had to really I really had to
Speaker 4: come to terms with you know, to grips with the
Speaker 4: situation and be like, look, I got two choices here.
Speaker 4: I can you know, feel sorry for myself for I
Speaker 4: can suck up and figure it out. And so the
Speaker 4: beauty of the way that uh, you know Rhymer and
Speaker 4: Blake Gayanners our heading coach and Tulsa you know put
Speaker 4: it, it was like, hey man, we just want you to
Speaker 4: be yourself. You know, we believe in you, we believe
Speaker 4: in what you do. And so it really gave me,
Speaker 4: you know a jolt of encouragement that kind of helped,
Speaker 4: you know, me kind of get back into the swing
Speaker 4: of things literally and figuratively and kind of how you know,
Speaker 4: help me, you know, figure out what I need to do,
Speaker 4: and and you know, they're just so good up and down.
Speaker 4: I think from the outside of perspective as somebody growing up,
Speaker 4: you know, watching baseball, you see the ability of the
Speaker 4: Dodgers to help, you know, get the best out of
Speaker 4: their players, and so to experience that myself was something
Speaker 4: that my family and I are very thankful for and
Speaker 4: it's been a blessing, you know, an answer to prayer,
Speaker 4: to say the least. So it was a lot. It
Speaker 4: was forty seven days went quick and three teams in
Speaker 4: that time. Was definitely something that I had to make
Speaker 4: an adjustment at. But I think coming into this year
Speaker 4: it was it was nice to be able to feel
Speaker 4: comfortable and feel wanted and feel loved and and and
Speaker 4: really kind of helped me and my confidence in the
Speaker 4: game and my ability to kind of come out there
Speaker 4: and compete every day.
Speaker 2: You mentioned the mental side of the game and the
Speaker 2: confidence you're playing with when you come to a team
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers and the coaching staff in Toulsa tells
Speaker 2: you what they told you, hate squatt and do what
Speaker 2: you did how you got here. How much does that
Speaker 2: take pressure off of you and relax you at the play.
Speaker 2: And did you noticeably see a change in the way
Speaker 2: you were playing?
Speaker 4: Absolutely one hundred percent. I mean I think that, you know,
Speaker 4: for them to say that that's not something that they
Speaker 4: owe me, you know, they don't. They don't owe me
Speaker 4: the things they've given me. And I think that's the
Speaker 4: beauty of the Dodgers is they're very upfront, they're very honest,
Speaker 4: but they're also very encouraging. And for them to do that,
Speaker 4: you know, from Rhyme's being you know, in charge of
Speaker 4: the farm and and and BG really taking you know,
Speaker 4: control of helping me get back to that swing. I mean,
Speaker 4: I remember we're sitting in corpus and and and uh
Speaker 4: you know that that first day it was my third game,
Speaker 4: and we took probably four or five hundred swings that
Speaker 4: day and they end up with with two homers that day.
Speaker 4: So it's just a testament to them all the way
Speaker 4: around of how good they are at, uh, you know,
Speaker 4: helping and and getting the best out of their players.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the mental side of baseball is
Speaker 4: it's so cliche, but it's just the most important thing,
Speaker 4: you know, in this game. Because one hundred and fifty games,
Speaker 4: one hundred and sixty games. You have to figure out
Speaker 4: how to compete, you know, sometimes in bad circumstances. And
Speaker 4: so for them to give me that encouragement was it
Speaker 4: was a huge breath of fresh air. And I think
Speaker 4: from my family and I we are extremely appreciative of
Speaker 4: what they've done for us and how they've treated us,
Speaker 4: you know, coming to this organization.
Speaker 2: James Timm's the third with us here on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Dodgers off their in Milwaukee tomorrow. James off to a
Speaker 2: great start in twenty twenty six, had a great spring
Speaker 2: at Campbell back Rams with the big league's team. How
Speaker 2: do you describe your game, James, who's the best comp
Speaker 2: in your mind to the way you play the game,
Speaker 2: the way you hit, the way you can kind of
Speaker 2: hit for power, the on base percentage, you kind of
Speaker 2: do it all as a hitter at the play in,
Speaker 2: as a corner outfielder. What's the best What's what's the
Speaker 2: best comp for James Timms the third?
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've heard John Peters.
Speaker 4: I don't mind that. I don't mind that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's not something that I've really ever thought of I
Speaker 4: really just like first, so it's embarrassing giving a comp
Speaker 4: of myself. But I also think that just you know,
Speaker 4: I just want to be the best player I could be,
Speaker 4: right and at the end of the day, like I'm
Speaker 4: just trying to compete into the mess of my ability
Speaker 4: with the gifts that the Lord has given me. And
Speaker 4: I hope that that's enough, you know. And so like
Speaker 4: you said, like I love getting on base, I love
Speaker 4: hitting the ball hard, I love hitting for average. Those
Speaker 4: are things that I take a lot of pride in.
Speaker 4: And playing good defense as well. Being able to be
Speaker 4: sufficient out there and make some above average place from
Speaker 4: time to time, I think is extremely important to me.
Speaker 4: So if I can do all those things, well, whoever
Speaker 4: you guys want to whoever anybody wants to comt me too,
Speaker 4: That's fine as long as I'm as long as I'm
Speaker 4: doing what I need to be doing.
Speaker 2: We mentioned the spring that you had in Arizona, and
Speaker 2: you were with the big league team for most of it.
Speaker 2: It's only your second year in pro ball and there
Speaker 2: you are sitting in the clubhouse, showy Otani, Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts. What was that like for you? Was it
Speaker 2: an eye opening experience at first? At what point did
Speaker 2: you feel like, Okay, I'm here, I need to start
Speaker 2: kind of gleaning off these guys. What was it like
Speaker 2: for you to be in that clubhouse in Arizona this year?
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming in, I think that my whole goal was
Speaker 4: to just soak up every bit of information I could.
Speaker 4: You know, I was out in LA in January and
Speaker 4: kind of gotten some advice from some of the guys
Speaker 4: that were around, and it was just, hey, man, you're
Speaker 4: not going to make the team, so just go in
Speaker 4: there and enjoy it, have so much fun, let your
Speaker 4: talent speak for itself, and just learn and and that's
Speaker 4: really kind of what I did. And you know, I
Speaker 4: really loved being at the field every day. I really
Speaker 4: enjoyed being around those guys. Obviously, there's not a lot
Speaker 4: of pressure for me being that I'm not trying to
Speaker 4: make the team. All I'm trying to do is just uh,
Speaker 4: you know, show that I could I belong and and
Speaker 4: and show that I'm I'm good enough to compete. And
Speaker 4: so for me, I went in there and they probably
Speaker 4: they probably hate me because I asked so many questions,
Speaker 4: but I was just trying to ask questions after questions,
Speaker 4: and you know, the cool part about that locker room
Speaker 4: is everybody was extremely receptive to that. You know, everybody
Speaker 4: wanted to answer questions, they wanted to help, they wanted uh,
Speaker 4: you know, they wanted me to be the best player
Speaker 4: I could be. Not because you know, of any reason
Speaker 4: in particular, but they just care about the game. They
Speaker 4: care about each other, they care about the guys. They're
Speaker 4: willing to you know, talk, they love talking baseball, and
Speaker 4: so I think that was extremely eye opening for me.
Speaker 4: You know, I think after the first two or three
Speaker 4: weeks is where I kind of was like, Okay, all right,
Speaker 4: you know, I feel comfortable now, I feel like I'm
Speaker 4: you know, I feel like I'm a part of it
Speaker 4: in some sense. And so I think that was where
Speaker 4: it really kind of helped me start to take strides
Speaker 4: and really kind of get things, you know, moving, you know,
Speaker 4: on the ground. And so definitely a fun experience. It's
Speaker 4: something that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Speaker 4: I definitely hopefully I get a lot more of those,
Speaker 4: but the first one is extremely special.
Speaker 2: Now you always hear the expression be where your feed are,
Speaker 2: be present in the moment. With that being said, James,
Speaker 2: how much do you allow yourself to think about that
Speaker 2: call coming? Because it's going to be sooner rather than later.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows that, everybody sees it, and everybody's excited to
Speaker 2: see James tips the third in a Dodgers uniform. Can
Speaker 2: you allow yourself to think about that or is that
Speaker 2: something that you have to keep out on the outside.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I, uh, you know, be you a few hours
Speaker 4: been something that I've really lived by the last you know, year,
Speaker 4: year and a half. And uh, there's a Bible Versus
Speaker 4: that I hold near and dear in my heart. It
Speaker 4: says be still and know that I am God. So
Speaker 4: I really just try to be still. I mean, it's
Speaker 4: it's as cliche as it sounds, like I've I've focused
Speaker 4: on the here and now and what I can do. Obviously,
Speaker 4: i'd be lying to you that I if I didn't
Speaker 4: think about it. Obviously, it's definitely something that I think about.
Speaker 4: It's a childhood dream I've always wanted to I mean
Speaker 4: since I can remember, I've always wanted to be a
Speaker 4: big league baseball player, and so obviously it's something that
Speaker 4: I think about. But at the same time, I'm really
Speaker 4: happy where I'm at. I really love you know, the
Speaker 4: guys and the team, and I really love, you know,
Speaker 4: working on things that that i've i've even necessary to be,
Speaker 4: you know, a complete player, and you know, helping myself
Speaker 4: try to make the stride, you know, as many strides
Speaker 4: that I can so that there's not as big of
Speaker 4: a of a roadblock, you know, when I get to
Speaker 4: the big leagues. And so I think for that, for
Speaker 4: those reasons, I'm pretty pretty steady and just keeping you know,
Speaker 4: confident and keeping happy where I'm at and in the
Speaker 4: day if it comes, it comes, and you know, or
Speaker 4: when it comes, it comes, and so I'm just you know,
Speaker 4: I'm trying really hard to enjoy it and I've been
Speaker 4: pretty successful at it so far. So obviously I hope
Speaker 4: it happens this year. I hope it happens soon. But
Speaker 4: at the same time, I'm not worried about it in
Speaker 4: any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 2: All Right, let's get to know James Tims a third,
Speaker 2: a little bit better, a little rapid fire here for
Speaker 2: the Dodger fans. Best minor league city you've played in
Speaker 2: in your brief time in the minor leagues to playing pro.
Speaker 4: Ball, Oh, yeah, I think Away with Away Park was
Speaker 4: probably Vancouver. They got a pretty good crowd, pretty good,
Speaker 4: pretty fun atmosphere there. And then home home side definitely Portland.
Speaker 4: Portland was a cool spot, a lot of a lot
Speaker 4: of knowledgeable fans over there and they.

Speaker 4: So those are two of my favorites.
Speaker 2: Best baseball moment that you've had at any level, whether
Speaker 2: it's high school at Florida State professionally, is there a
