0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>against the Milwaukee Brewers. Eight six, six, nine, eight seven

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.640

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to take your phone calls here early in this show,

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>James Tibbs the Third is going to join us, coming

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>up in about fifteen minutes or so. James TIBs the

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Third the Dodgers one of their top outfields, twenty three

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>year old they got last year in the trade for

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Dustin May a former first round pick of the San

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Francisco Giants a year ago. Been traded twice and the

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers landed him and they are lucky to have him.

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>What a great spring he had at Camel Back Ranch.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 2>With the major league team opened up a lot of eyes.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of you Dodger fans have been

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 2>asking about James Timms the third. He hit seven home

0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 2>runs in the first ten days of the season in

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Triple A, hitting over three hundred right now, having himself

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 2>a really good twenty twenty six season in Triple A.

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 2>To think, he started last year in High A ball,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>finished in Double A. Now he's in Triple A. He's

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>only twenty three years old, and again he is knocking

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>on the door to the Major League. There's no room

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>for James TIMPs to third right now, but if something

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>were to open up because of an injury or whatnot,

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>you know that he is going to be the first

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 2>one ready to go and get called up from Triple

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>A because of the season he is having and they

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 2>like him an awful lot. So we'll hear from James

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Tim's the third coming up in just a little bit.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 2>We'll get you a full farm report as well, coming

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>up at about seven to forty five as we get

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 2>ready for a lookdown on what is happening from TRIPLEA

0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City all the way down to Ontario and the

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 2>tower buzzers, but a plenty of your time for your

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.679
<v Speaker 2>phone calls. Let's dive into it right now as the

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers a one and a half game lead in the

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>division going in tomorrow till Milwaukee and against a first

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>place Milwaukee Brewers team in the NL Central, and it

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be like it was in the playoffs, a

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>good showdown with good pitching and good strong hitting and

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 2>two really good lineups on both sides. Pat Murphy, he

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>knows how to coach. This guy is a winner or

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>wherever he has been, and he has been sensational with

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee since Craig Council left to go to Chicago. So

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>we expect three exciting games from Milwaukee. First pitch tomorrow

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 2>is coming up at four forty with Justin Robluski scheduled

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>to get the start. The Dodgers had some injury news

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday with the surgery to Blake Snell. He had

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 2>a couple of loose bodies removed him his left throwing elbow,

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>and much has been talked about the last week with

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>this nanoscope procedure. These bodies that have been removed from

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the elbow. Now three pitchers this year that at least

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I know of, and when Diaz had it last month,

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger reliever is gonna be out until after the

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>All Star break. Trek Scuolbell had it done back on

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.799
<v Speaker 2>May sixth, So what just three weeks ago. Tarrek Scooble

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 2>is back throwing now, in case you've missed it. And

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I bring this up because certainly every arm injury is different,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 2>every surgery is different. Terrek Scoobel had one body removed

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.120
<v Speaker 2>from the elbow. He used to call him bone chips.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>He had one body removed from the elbow. Well, Blake

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Snell had a couple removed by doctor Neil la Trash.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Is there significant? Who knows? But Trek Scoulble today through

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>a third bullpen session for the Detroit Tigers, and if

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>he pretty much had the same or similar surgery to

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>what Blake Snell had, we can sort of look at

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 2>their timelines sort of similarly. Right, Blake Snell is scheduled

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>to come back. I don't know in a couple of months.

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Terry Scouble since May six has now thrown three bullpen sessions.

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Today a thirty five pitch bullpen session. He had a

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 2>couple of updowns to simulate pitching in a game. Now,

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>he'll travel with the team this weekend as they hit

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 2>the road to go to Baltimore, and he'll be looked

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 2>at further by their medical staff and they're gonna determine

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 2>what the next step is. As far as Tarrek Schouoble,

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>is it a simgame, is it a longer bullpen session?

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Certainly he's got to build his way back up and

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna rush the guy. But it is interesting,

0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 2>three weeks removed from a nanoscope surgery, the one that's

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>very similar, if not the same, to what Blake Snell

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 2>had on Tuesday, could we then start to put similar

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>timelines together for these two pitchers. Again, everybody's different, everybody

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>heals different, every surgery is different, but we can kind

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 2>of gauge, right what a timeline might look like. And

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 2>if Terry Scougle, who had a non invasive procedure done

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>the nanoscope, the same thing that was done to Blake

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Snell on Tuesday, could we see some similarities? I hope.

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>So.

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are certainly keeping their fingers crossed. But at

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>this point, right now, the Dodgers are looking at a

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 2>more near return for Tyler glassnew as opposed to Blake Snell.

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>And that's also a reason why the Dodgers went out

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and got Eric Lauer that like they did just a

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 2>week ago off of waivers and then claimed a minor

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>league trade with the Toronto Blue Jays and hopes to

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 2>build up some death and in fact he's going to

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>be starting for the Dodgers on Tuesday, and then we

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>turn home and taste on the Colorado Rockies. We'll see

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Eric Lawer the newest Dodger in this rotation to again

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>make it a six man Dodgers rotation, so again could

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 2>be good news. We'll keep an eye on Trek Scooble

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 2>and what's happening with the left hander for the Detroit

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Tigers because again could show a similar timeline to how

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>long Blake Snell is going to be out. No new

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>update on Tyler Glass. Now still throwing off flat ground,

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 2>so he's able to come off the eligible to come

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>off the injured list this weekend. It is not trending

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>in that direction. It is not happening, let's just be honest.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So it has now been pushed back even further. Now,

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody to keep an eye on who will be eligible

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to come off the injured list when the Dodgers return

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 2>home on Monday against the Rockies. Keithk Hernandez, who has

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>been in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City playing for the comments playing

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 2>for little with third base, playing the outfield, playing multiple

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 2>positions like Keik can do, getting his at bats in,

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and Kei k is scheduled to come off the injured

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>list again early next week on Monday. He could be

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>back with the Dodgers. Will they bring him back as

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 2>soon as he's able to come off the il well.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Key k Hernandez was on with Petro Some Money last

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 2>month in a really cool in depth inside the locker

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 2>room interview with Key k and he looked at that

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 2>day when he can come off the injured list, and

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the twenty fourth has already kind of been circled. Is

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>to day he could come off the injured list. The

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers will be on the road, So Monday, Memorial Day

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 2>could be the day we see Key k Hernandez come

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 2>off the injured list. And then again we're looking at

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.720
<v Speaker 2>a roster move. What would that roster move be? What

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>are the Dodgers gonna do? They do very well at

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>juggling the roster and making sure that they are at

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the best they can be and guys get the proper rest.

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.559
<v Speaker 2>So maybe it's an eel stent for somebody, but again,

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>just something to keep an eye on as far as

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 2>the injuries are concerned. Blake Snell, Tarrek Scubel similar surgeries.

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Will keep an eye on Arry Scoobl's return and how

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>that could affect Blake Snell's return. Tyler Glass now not

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>going to come off the injured list this weekend. He

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 2>is not close, even though the backspasmens have flared down

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 2>for the most part. And again and key k Hernandez

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans key K will be back, and it's trending

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 2>like he'll be back for the next home stand against

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the Colorado Rockies. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. Eight sixty six nine to eight seven two

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.559
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the number if you want to jump

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 2>on board again. James Tips the third, we'll talk to

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.599
<v Speaker 2>him coming up a little bit later this hour. And

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>then we got a farm report coming up as well.

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:29.120
<v Speaker 2>For you. Do you realize what shoe Otani did last

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>night in San Diego? He hit a home run to

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>lead off the game. He's now hit twenty one leadoff

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>home runs, tiny with John Peterson for third all time

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 2>for the La Dodgers. But then goes out and throws

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 2>five shutout and he's lowering his ERA to zero point

0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 2>seventy three. Do you realize what kind of category he

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>is in? What kind of status he has now put

0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 2>himself in. Six pitchers in the history of the game

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>through the eight starts of his season have had a

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>sub one er like Showeo time has. Two of them

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>are now Dodgers Show Hey Otani and Fernando Valenzuela. The

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>great Fernando back in nineteen eighty one had the start

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 2>of a career at the start of the season that

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.640
<v Speaker 2>may never be duplicated, and he had a point zero

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>five ERRA through the first eight starts of his rookie

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 2>season there in nineteen eighty one, that is best all time.

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>But now show Heyotani here in twenty twenty six through

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:32.679
<v Speaker 2>eight starts has an ERA of zero point seven to three.

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>That is pretty impressive company to be in line with

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 2>there Fernando Valenzuela, now show Heyotani. Two Dodger starting pitchers,

0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 2>sixth total in the history of the game have had

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ras sub one in their first eight starts of the season.

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Pretty rare company. He is certainly in no doubt about that,

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 2>but also even more rare. And to show even more

0:10:56.240 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 2>how much show Aotani is a unicorn. A handful of

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 2>players in the history of game have let off while

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>serving as a starting pitcher. I mean, you can literally

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>count him on your hand. None of ever homer to

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 2>start a game. Sho Hao Tani has now done it

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 2>twice in his Dodger career. He did it in Game

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 2>four of the NLCS last year, and then he did

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>it again last night. I mean, it's pretty remarkable to

0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 2>see what Shoho Tani has done as a player. And

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 2>again we know how special he is. We know what

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 2>he could do as a unicorn of a player on

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 2>the mound and as a hitter a sub one era,

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>as a pitcher and now the only player that's homered

0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>to lead off a game while also be in the

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher. Again, just stupid numbers, stupid things that he

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 2>continues to put up at ridiculous amounts to show him

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>how good he is. Last night, he was fantastic. The

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers shut out the Padres four nothing but I don't

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.600
<v Speaker 2>think Dodger fans realize as good as his offense has

0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>been and Kyle Tucker's heating up to Oscar Hernandez Droven

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 2>a couple more. Last night show Ay is Show, Hey,

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Mookie had himself a good couple of games in San Diego.

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>He is now starting to turn the corner offensively and

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>get that average up. The Dodgers' bullpen, Don't look now,

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.600
<v Speaker 2>is one of the best in baseball here in twenty

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. After last night's four shutout innings from Bengardo Enriquez,

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Blake trin In, Kyle Hurt, and Will Klein, the Dodgers

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:37.839
<v Speaker 2>bullpen collectively has now twenty nine consecutive scoreless innings. It's

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 2>the longest streak for a Dodgers' bullpen since nineteen eighty eight,

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 2>third longest since moving to Los Angeles. And they're doing

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>it without Edwin Diaz, who they went out and gotten

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 2>free agency to be that closer again this year. Because

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>of the ups and downs and mostly downs of last

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>year in Tanner Scott, they went out and got another

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 2>arm to be the closer. He gets hurt and what

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>happens The Dodgers now collectively have one of the best,

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 2>if not the best bullpen in baseball, with Kyle Hurt

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.680
<v Speaker 2>emerging as a go to high leverage reliever late in

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the game again fantastic last night. Will Klein and his

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 2>sweeper continues to fool hitters at Gardo and Riquez, And

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean this in a nice comparison, is the new

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Bruce dar Grattle and Bruce dar Snake bit with injuries,

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>tried to come back in Triple A and his back

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 2>is now bothering him. He's had shoulder fatigue, now his

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>back is bothering again. He hasn't pitched in the game

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 2>since the postseason of twenty twenty four, so it is

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.400
<v Speaker 2>not looking good for Bruce darr coming back. But in

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 2>his absence last year at Gardo and Riquez, big strong,

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>right handed thrower, one hundred plus miles an hour electric fastball, well,

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 2>he's zoned in on his off speed pitches now and

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 2>his control, and Guardo and Riquez has turned into that Bazuka,

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 2>that hard throwing right hander one hundred miles an hour plus.

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Blake Trinan not asked to do too much go out there,

0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 2>just put up zeros when it asked Upawn this Dodgers'

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>bullpen is turned into an elite bullpen here in twenty

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty six. And when you add to that a starting

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>pitching staff that has cooled off, the numbers are starting

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to come down. But at one point to start the season,

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the first six weeks, they were pitching into the fifth

0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 2>and sixth inning deeper than they pretty much any other

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 2>team in the National League as far as starting pitches

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 2>and concern alleviating some of the work that the bullpen

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.720
<v Speaker 2>had to do. You add strong starting pitching and a

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.360
<v Speaker 2>dominant bullpen. I mean, this Dodger pitching staff is clicking

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 2>right now as we get ready to head into Memorial

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Day weekend, and right now at one and a half

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.000
<v Speaker 2>game lead for the Dodgers going into Milwaukee in what

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>should be a thrilling series eight to sixty six, nine

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two, five, seventy the other big thing in

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 2>baseball through the quarter mark of this season, we just

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>passed the quarter mark way of the twenty twenty six season,

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers thirty one and nineteen overall on the year. So

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 2>what is that fifty games now? In I wasn't a

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 2>math major, but I could add, right, thirty one and nineteen.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>That's fifty games. The Dodgers and the ABS. The Automated

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Ball Strike System. Now, I don't know how you feel

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>about it. I know I'm in love with it. I

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>think what Rob Manford and baseball as a whole have

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>done the last few years have absolutely been home runs,

0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 2>no pun attended. They have absolutely hit it out of

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the park. As far as helping the game at baseball,

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the pitch clock, the three batter minimum, and now the ABS,

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.120
<v Speaker 2>it has been fantastic for the game. You're seeing the

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>younger pitches already adapted to it. You're seeing the ABS

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.960
<v Speaker 2>challenge system work like it's supposed to. But you're also

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 2>seeing a shift in the game. You're seeing the game

0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>change right in front of your eyes. Now, the number

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 2>aren't dramatic, and we all love numbers, they aren't dramatic

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>right now. As far as okay, are walks up? Are

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>walks down? Our strikeouts up? Our strikeouts down? Where are

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 2>we As far as balls put into play run scored?

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>It's still early to figure that out. The numbers are,

0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, a tick up, tick down no matter where

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 2>you look. But the Dodgers as a whole with the

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>ABS have been fantastic, top ten in baseball in total

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 2>challenge success nearly sixty percent of the time they're successful.

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 2>The pitcher catcher challenge success for the Dodgers top five

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 2>in baseball at sixty six percent. The batter challenge success

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 2>still top ten in baseball, but at only forty nine

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 2>percent individually. Will Smith, Dodger catcher, an elite framer, doesn't

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>need to be that anymore because of the automated ball

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 2>strike system. It has changed the way catching is done.

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 2>No longer can you steal strikes in the major leagues.

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 2>No longer is it all about catch framing, catching the

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 2>ball and stealing a strike, getting that glove back into

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.159
<v Speaker 2>the zone so it appears to be a strike and

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.399
<v Speaker 2>catch a strikeout or catch a strike for your pitcher.

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't work that way anymore because the computer don't lie,

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 2>because if you try to steal a strike, that batter

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>could tap his helmet and call you out and the

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:38.199
<v Speaker 2>umpire out for a strikeout. No better example is that

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 2>of Will Smith, who was one of the best and

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 2>elite pitch framers in baseball. Now he's become one of

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the best challengers in baseball, successfully overturning nearly seventy five

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 2>percent of the challenge calls. He is twenty nine of

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight this season, second catcher in baseball on successful challenges,

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.399
<v Speaker 2>only behind Wilson Contreres of the Milwaukee Brewers. Ta Oscar Hernandez,

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 2>about as far as hitters are concerned, has challenged the

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 2>ABS nine times. It's been successful six times. That's top

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>ten in all of Major League Baseball. The ABS challenge

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>system has resulted in a smaller, more literal strike zone.

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 2>It's got a significant drop in catcher pitch framing value.

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Throw that out the window. Pitch framing is done. It

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 2>was a fad for about eight years in baseball, but

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 2>no more. The computer don't lie. That is big and

0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>it's changed the way pitchers attack strike zones. And I'm

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.919
<v Speaker 2>gonna use two different guys here, one Justin Robleski and

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.639
<v Speaker 2>the other being Blake Snell. Blake Snell made one start,

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 2>got hurt again with the elbow. Well the day after

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 2>his start, he talked with David Vase and we don't

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 2>have time to get to it, but you can listen

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>to it on the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. He

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>went in depth about how the strikes in the last

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 2>ten years has completely changed obviously, and the ABS for him,

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 2>this is his first time pitching in the game back

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 2>on May ninth, was hard for him because he couldn't

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.360
<v Speaker 2>get those calls on the and nibbling on the outside

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:14.119
<v Speaker 2>part of the plate, or get the high strike or

0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the low striker or the inside strike, which he thought

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 2>he would get and has gotten over the years, just weren't.

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.679
<v Speaker 2>They're not there anymore. So because of that, you have

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>to pitch to the strike zone more, and you got

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 2>to pitch into a hitter strike zone and get pitched

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 2>to contact. Guy hit around a little bit more than usual.

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 2>It's different for older pitchers. They're getting used to it.

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell one start was just getting his feet wet.

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Justin Robleski, young pitcher, came up in the minor league

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>system a couple of years ago when they were starting

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to use the ABS, and came up a couple of

0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.800
<v Speaker 2>years ago when they were certainly using the pitch clock

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 2>in the minor leagues. So he's adapted and used to

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>both of them. And look at what Justin Robleski does.

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Attacks to strike zones, throw strikes, forces guys to try

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to swing and make contact, put the ball in play,

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 2>there was an outing, he had a couple of starts

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:11.399
<v Speaker 2>ago right did not have a single strikeout, but he

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.600
<v Speaker 2>was pitching to contact and getting outs and getting through hitters.

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 2>So I think as a whole we're gonna see strikeouts

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:25.880
<v Speaker 2>drop because of this ABS system, not dramatically, but you're

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:30.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna see more contact, more less swing and miss more

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 2>contact in baseball. And as a fan, I think we

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 2>could all agree that's a good thing. Right. We love

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts if your team is the pitcher throwing the strikeouts.

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 2>But we all know we don't want to sit there

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 2>a game where it's three hits and twenty six strikeouts

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 2>combined between the two teams. We want a little offense.

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 2>We want the ball in play. We want to see

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.120
<v Speaker 2>guys have to play defense. We want to see guys

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 2>going and running, taking two on a ball hitting the gap.

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Those are the kind of things we want to see.

0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 2>And the ABS has completely flip the lid here on

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 2>pitch framing and catch in baseball. And I think it's

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 2>interesting to look at the numbers through the first fifty

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 2>games of the season for the Dodgers, the first quarter

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 2>point here of the season in Major League Baseball, and

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 2>how it's changed. We saw the pitch clock change baseball

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 2>last year for the better, the three pitch minimum, and

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I think now through the quarter point of the season,

0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 2>we are certainly seeing the benefits of the ABS eight six, six, nine,

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:27.639
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five to seventy. We'll try to get

0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 2>to your phone calls if we can. We got a

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 2>farm report coming up and up next. Looking forward to

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 2>talking to James Tibbs the Third. He's in TRIPLEA Oklahoma City,

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 2>tearing the cover off the ball, having a great season.

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 2>Started the year in a ball last year with the

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.080
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco Giants, traded to the Rofield Devers, deal to

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Boston and then traded for Dustin May to the Dodgers.

0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Three teams in the last year. But he's found a

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 2>home in this Dodger organization, a great spring with the

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 2>major league team. And keep an eye on James tips

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.879

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.280
<v Speaker 2>you're in Triple A, Oklahoma City. A great start to

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the season, you had the seven home runs in the

0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 2>first nine games.

0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.119
<v Speaker 2>What has that jump been like for you at the

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Triple A level this year.

0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's been. It's been interesting. I think, Uh, at

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.080
<v Speaker 4>triple you see a lot of guys with a lot

0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:25.680
<v Speaker 4>of time in the big leagues and whether it be

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 4>business players or pitchers, and you know, specifically on the

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.280
<v Speaker 4>pitching side, a lot of guys have a really good

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 4>idea what they're doing on the mouth, and so it

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:37.480
<v Speaker 4>kind of creates a lot a lot more of a

0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 4>chess match for me and trying to figure out what

0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 4>they're doing, trying to figure out, you know, as they're

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 4>trying to figure out what I'm doing. And it's just

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 4>kind of the cat and mouse game that I love about,

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, baseball itself. And it's given me, giving me

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 4>some some difficulties at times, but I think at the

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 4>same time, it's kind of helped me understand, uh, even more,

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, about my game and about what makes me,

0:23:57.800 --> 0:23:59.959
<v Speaker 4>you know, tick at the plate and how I can

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 4>be the best that can be. So it's been it's

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 4>been a lot of fun and I've really enjoyed it. Obviously,

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 4>there's going to be ups and downs in the season

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 4>and definitely been been in a couple ups and a

0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 4>couple of downs and trying to figure out how to

0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, make those uh you know, learn from those

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:16.679
<v Speaker 4>and and be the best player I can be.

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:19.159
<v Speaker 2>We mentioned you had a great spring at Camelback ran

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:22.119
<v Speaker 2>shot over three hundred four home runs eleven RBIs.

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 2>What was a message though from the Dodgers front office

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 2>when they called you in and said you're going back

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 2>to the minor league camp, You're going to start the

0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>year in Triple A Oklahoma City. What was the message

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 2>they gave you to go work on, to go do,

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 2>to go prepare for this year.

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, I just think it was continuing to

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 4>work on the things we had really focused on spring training,

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 4>which was, you know, the defensive versatility, playing in the outfield,

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 4>playing multiple spots in the outfield, playing first base, be

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 4>able to do those well because we really, uh we

0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.240
<v Speaker 4>really value that, you know, as an organization, and so

0:24:57.320 --> 0:24:59.119
<v Speaker 4>that's something that I take a lot of pride in

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.399
<v Speaker 4>and I really enjoyed. And so from that side of

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 4>the of the ball. Definitely continue to work in those

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.199
<v Speaker 4>areas and making continue to make strides. I think they

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 4>really liked where I was what was at defensively, but

0:25:10.280 --> 0:25:12.720
<v Speaker 4>I think it's just continuing to make strides there. And

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:14.920
<v Speaker 4>I think the other thing was just continuing to work

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 4>on the little things with my swing, trying to figure out,

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:20.879
<v Speaker 4>you know, we've made some swing adjustments in the off season,

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 4>so trying to figure out where when things go wrong,

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.199
<v Speaker 4>what that looks like, and being able to minimize, you know,

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 4>downstretches and continue to hit left your relievers, which is

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.600
<v Speaker 4>something that you know, I take a lot of pride

0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 4>in as well. So I think all, you know, all

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 4>those things were things I already knew, which I was

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 4>thankful for, but also things that I was excited to

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:43.439
<v Speaker 4>come and work on. And Okay, see, we'll.

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Go back to last year, James, if we can, a

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 2>world win year for you. Thirteen months after you were

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 2>drafted by the Giants, traded to the Red Sox, and

0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 2>then the Dodgers acquire you in the trade for Dustin May.

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Three teams in like forty seven forty eight days as

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>a baseball player. What is that like for you? I mean,

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 2>you're in your first full year of pro ball and

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 2>now you're on your third organization. What was going through

0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>your mind.

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:11.879
<v Speaker 4>Who oh man, you got an hour? Yeah, yeah, I

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 4>think it was. It was tough. You know, I think

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 4>for a guy that ed played for three teams his

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 4>whole life, you know, one college, one high school, and

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 4>one travel ball organization, really it took a toll on me.

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:26.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, I didn't I didn't really know the business

0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 4>side of baseball, and so, uh, you know, from the

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 4>outside looking in, it's like, well, you know, he got

0:26:31.800 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 4>traded whatever. But for me, it was it was hard.

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, I had to really I really had to

0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:39.960
<v Speaker 4>come to terms with you know, to grips with the

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 4>situation and be like, look, I got two choices here.

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 4>I can you know, feel sorry for myself for I

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:45.520
<v Speaker 4>can suck up and figure it out. And so the

0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 4>beauty of the way that uh, you know Rhymer and

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Blake Gayanners our heading coach and Tulsa you know put

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:53.000
<v Speaker 4>it, it was like, hey man, we just want you to

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 4>be yourself. You know, we believe in you, we believe

0:26:54.840 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 4>in what you do. And so it really gave me,

0:26:57.240 --> 0:26:59.679
<v Speaker 4>you know a jolt of encouragement that kind of helped,

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 4>you know, me kind of get back into the swing

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.919
<v Speaker 4>of things literally and figuratively and kind of how you know,

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:08.719
<v Speaker 4>help me, you know, figure out what I need to do,

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 4>and and you know, they're just so good up and down.

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:14.959
<v Speaker 4>I think from the outside of perspective as somebody growing up,

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, watching baseball, you see the ability of the

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:20.840
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers to help, you know, get the best out of

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 4>their players, and so to experience that myself was something

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 4>that my family and I are very thankful for and

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 4>it's been a blessing, you know, an answer to prayer,

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:31.959
<v Speaker 4>to say the least. So it was a lot. It

0:27:32.000 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 4>was forty seven days went quick and three teams in

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 4>that time. Was definitely something that I had to make

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:40.320
<v Speaker 4>an adjustment at. But I think coming into this year

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:42.399
<v Speaker 4>it was it was nice to be able to feel

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 4>comfortable and feel wanted and feel loved and and and

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:48.359
<v Speaker 4>really kind of helped me and my confidence in the

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 4>game and my ability to kind of come out there

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:51.160
<v Speaker 4>and compete every day.

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned the mental side of the game and the

0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>confidence you're playing with when you come to a team

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.359
<v Speaker 2>like the Dodgers and the coaching staff in Toulsa tells

0:27:58.359 --> 0:28:00.159
<v Speaker 2>you what they told you, hate squatt and do what

0:28:00.240 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you did how you got here. How much does that

0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.680
<v Speaker 2>take pressure off of you and relax you at the play.

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:08.680
<v Speaker 2>And did you noticeably see a change in the way

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 2>you were playing?

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely one hundred percent. I mean I think that, you know,

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:15.199
<v Speaker 4>for them to say that that's not something that they

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 4>owe me, you know, they don't. They don't owe me

0:28:17.040 --> 0:28:18.919
<v Speaker 4>the things they've given me. And I think that's the

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 4>beauty of the Dodgers is they're very upfront, they're very honest,

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 4>but they're also very encouraging. And for them to do that,

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, from Rhyme's being you know, in charge of

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.439
<v Speaker 4>the farm and and and BG really taking you know,

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 4>control of helping me get back to that swing. I mean,

0:28:35.640 --> 0:28:38.960
<v Speaker 4>I remember we're sitting in corpus and and and uh

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 4>you know that that first day it was my third game,

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 4>and we took probably four or five hundred swings that

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:46.240
<v Speaker 4>day and they end up with with two homers that day.

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 4>So it's just a testament to them all the way

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 4>around of how good they are at, uh, you know,

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 4>helping and and getting the best out of their players.

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think the mental side of baseball is

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 4>it's so cliche, but it's just the most important thing,

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, in this game. Because one hundred and fifty games,

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and sixty games. You have to figure out

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 4>how to compete, you know, sometimes in bad circumstances. And

0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 4>so for them to give me that encouragement was it

0:29:10.600 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 4>was a huge breath of fresh air. And I think

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 4>from my family and I we are extremely appreciative of

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 4>what they've done for us and how they've treated us,

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:19.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, coming to this organization.

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>James Timm's the third with us here on Dodger Talk.

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers off their in Milwaukee tomorrow. James off to a

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 2>great start in twenty twenty six, had a great spring

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 2>at Campbell back Rams with the big league's team. How

0:29:30.960 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 2>do you describe your game, James, who's the best comp

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 2>in your mind to the way you play the game,

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>the way you hit, the way you can kind of

0:29:39.480 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>hit for power, the on base percentage, you kind of

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 2>do it all as a hitter at the play in,

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 2>as a corner outfielder. What's the best What's what's the

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 2>best comp for James Timms the third?

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I don't know.

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I've heard John Peters.

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:54.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't mind that. I don't mind that.

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't know.

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 4>It's not something that I've really ever thought of I

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 4>really just like first, so it's embarrassing giving a comp

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 4>of myself. But I also think that just you know,

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 4>I just want to be the best player I could be,

0:30:07.000 --> 0:30:09.320
<v Speaker 4>right and at the end of the day, like I'm

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:11.800
<v Speaker 4>just trying to compete into the mess of my ability

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 4>with the gifts that the Lord has given me. And

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.479
<v Speaker 4>I hope that that's enough, you know. And so like

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 4>you said, like I love getting on base, I love

0:30:18.320 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 4>hitting the ball hard, I love hitting for average. Those

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 4>are things that I take a lot of pride in.

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 4>And playing good defense as well. Being able to be

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 4>sufficient out there and make some above average place from

0:30:28.160 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 4>time to time, I think is extremely important to me.

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 4>So if I can do all those things, well, whoever

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 4>you guys want to whoever anybody wants to comt me too,

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:36.959
<v Speaker 4>That's fine as long as I'm as long as I'm

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 4>doing what I need to be doing.

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 2>We mentioned the spring that you had in Arizona, and

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you were with the big league team for most of it.

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:45.880
<v Speaker 2>It's only your second year in pro ball and there

0:30:45.920 --> 0:30:49.560
<v Speaker 2>you are sitting in the clubhouse, showy Otani, Freddie Freeman,

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts. What was that like for you? Was it

0:30:53.080 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>an eye opening experience at first? At what point did

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 2>you feel like, Okay, I'm here, I need to start

0:30:57.960 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of gleaning off these guys. What was it like

0:31:00.640 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>for you to be in that clubhouse in Arizona this year?

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, coming in, I think that my whole goal was

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:12.440
<v Speaker 4>to just soak up every bit of information I could.

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:15.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, I was out in LA in January and

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 4>kind of gotten some advice from some of the guys

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.440
<v Speaker 4>that were around, and it was just, hey, man, you're

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 4>not going to make the team, so just go in

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 4>there and enjoy it, have so much fun, let your

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 4>talent speak for itself, and just learn and and that's

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 4>really kind of what I did. And you know, I

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 4>really loved being at the field every day. I really

0:31:30.760 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 4>enjoyed being around those guys. Obviously, there's not a lot

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 4>of pressure for me being that I'm not trying to

0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 4>make the team. All I'm trying to do is just uh,

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 4>you know, show that I could I belong and and

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 4>and show that I'm I'm good enough to compete. And

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:46.160
<v Speaker 4>so for me, I went in there and they probably

0:31:46.160 --> 0:31:48.200
<v Speaker 4>they probably hate me because I asked so many questions,

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:50.560
<v Speaker 4>but I was just trying to ask questions after questions,

0:31:50.600 --> 0:31:52.680
<v Speaker 4>and you know, the cool part about that locker room

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 4>is everybody was extremely receptive to that. You know, everybody

0:31:55.080 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 4>wanted to answer questions, they wanted to help, they wanted uh,

0:31:58.160 --> 0:32:00.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, they wanted me to be the best player

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:03.960
<v Speaker 4>I could be. Not because you know, of any reason

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 4>in particular, but they just care about the game. They

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 4>care about each other, they care about the guys. They're

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 4>willing to you know, talk, they love talking baseball, and

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 4>so I think that was extremely eye opening for me.

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, I think after the first two or three

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:18.000
<v Speaker 4>weeks is where I kind of was like, Okay, all right,

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, I feel comfortable now, I feel like I'm

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:21.719
<v Speaker 4>you know, I feel like I'm a part of it

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 4>in some sense. And so I think that was where

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 4>it really kind of helped me start to take strides

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 4>and really kind of get things, you know, moving, you know,

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 4>on the ground. And so definitely a fun experience. It's

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 4>something that I'll remember for the rest of my life.

0:32:34.360 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 4>I definitely hopefully I get a lot more of those,

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 4>but the first one is extremely special.

0:32:39.160 --> 0:32:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Now you always hear the expression be where your feed are,

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 2>be present in the moment. With that being said, James,

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 2>how much do you allow yourself to think about that

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 2>call coming? Because it's going to be sooner rather than later.

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows that, everybody sees it, and everybody's excited to

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:57.640
<v Speaker 2>see James tips the third in a Dodgers uniform. Can

0:32:57.680 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 2>you allow yourself to think about that or is that

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:03.120
<v Speaker 2>something that you have to keep out on the outside.

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I, uh, you know, be you a few hours

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 4>been something that I've really lived by the last you know, year,

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 4>year and a half. And uh, there's a Bible Versus

0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 4>that I hold near and dear in my heart. It

0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:16.880
<v Speaker 4>says be still and know that I am God. So

0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:19.280
<v Speaker 4>I really just try to be still. I mean, it's

0:33:19.320 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 4>it's as cliche as it sounds, like I've I've focused

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 4>on the here and now and what I can do. Obviously,

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 4>i'd be lying to you that I if I didn't

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 4>think about it. Obviously, it's definitely something that I think about.

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:31.959
<v Speaker 4>It's a childhood dream I've always wanted to I mean

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:34.000
<v Speaker 4>since I can remember, I've always wanted to be a

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:36.560
<v Speaker 4>big league baseball player, and so obviously it's something that

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:38.680
<v Speaker 4>I think about. But at the same time, I'm really

0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 4>happy where I'm at. I really love you know, the

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 4>guys and the team, and I really love, you know,

0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 4>working on things that that i've i've even necessary to be,

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, a complete player, and you know, helping myself

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 4>try to make the stride, you know, as many strides

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:55.320
<v Speaker 4>that I can so that there's not as big of

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 4>a of a roadblock, you know, when I get to

0:33:57.520 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 4>the big leagues. And so I think for that, for

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:04.800
<v Speaker 4>those reasons, I'm pretty pretty steady and just keeping you know,

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 4>confident and keeping happy where I'm at and in the

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:10.319
<v Speaker 4>day if it comes, it comes, and you know, or

0:34:10.360 --> 0:34:13.200
<v Speaker 4>when it comes, it comes, and so I'm just you know,

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:15.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying really hard to enjoy it and I've been

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 4>pretty successful at it so far. So obviously I hope

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 4>it happens this year. I hope it happens soon. But

0:34:21.239 --> 0:34:22.920
<v Speaker 4>at the same time, I'm not worried about it in

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:24.120
<v Speaker 4>any stretch of the imagination.

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 2>All Right, let's get to know James Tims a third,

0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit better, a little rapid fire here for

0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger fans. Best minor league city you've played in

0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 2>in your brief time in the minor leagues to playing pro.

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 4>Ball, Oh, yeah, I think Away with Away Park was

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 4>probably Vancouver. They got a pretty good crowd, pretty good,

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:46.600
<v Speaker 4>pretty fun atmosphere there. And then home home side definitely Portland.

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 4>Portland was a cool spot, a lot of a lot

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 4>of knowledgeable fans over there and they.

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Love the game.

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 4>So those are two of my favorites.

0:34:52.040 --> 0:34:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Best baseball moment that you've had at any level, whether

0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 2>it's high school at Florida State professionally, is there a

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:00.279

0:36:28.239 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 2>They traded him in the Rafael Devers trade to the

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Boston Red Sox, and then the Dodgers got him in

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:36.600
<v Speaker 2>a steal in the trade for Dustin May last year.

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:39.120

<v Speaker 2>A Oklahoma City hit seven home runs. Now he's cooled

0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:52.719
<v Speaker 2>off with the home runs a little bit, but still

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:55.680

<v Speaker 2>We appreciate him coming on the show, and again, it

0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:02.440

<v Speaker 2>a Tulsa. And he's off and running. You know one

0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:13.439
<v Speaker 2>pitches lined hard down the left field line.

0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:16.040

0:40:18.719 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 2>This one drives in.

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:22.680

<v Speaker 2>the twenty seven year old right hander, is in Triple

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:07.319

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 2>hearing River Ryan's name a lot, because at some point

0:41:10.040 --> 0:41:12.359
<v Speaker 2>he will join the Dodgers at the major league level,

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:15.160

<v Speaker 2>three sixty four average, two triples and three home runs.

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Charles Davilin in Great Lakes with the Loons. He was

0:41:53.120 --> 0:41:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the forty first overall pick a year ago out of Arkansas.

0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.719
<v Speaker 2>He's twenty two years old at autfielder, he's only five

0:41:58.719 --> 0:42:01.319

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Legs Lons Radio Network with the call. He's short, he's stocky,

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:27.800
<v Speaker 2>he's a leadoff hitter for the Great Legs Loons, and

0:42:27.840 --> 0:42:30.879
<v Speaker 2>he's got seven home runs already. To show Ford, he's

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:35.799

<v Speaker 2>point fifty e r A, twenty eight innings pitched, and

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Zabazoletta has got forty three strikeouts. How about that forty

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:55.280
<v Speaker 2>three strikeouts in twenty eight innings of works James Tims

0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:57.279
<v Speaker 2>the third you heard from him a few minutes ago.

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:00.200
<v Speaker 2>The twenty three year old outfielder is just way to

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:02.279
<v Speaker 2>get the call up to the major leagues, hitting three

0:43:02.320 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 2>eleven eleven home runs, thirty five RBI and an ops

0:43:06.440 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 2>near eleven hundred. How about Adam Serwinowski, a left handed

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:13.480
<v Speaker 2>pitcher in Double A Tulsa, twenty one years old. He

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a great RRA, but in twenty nine and

0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 2>two third Indians, he has a strikeout machine. He strikes out.

0:43:20.719 --> 0:43:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Keith Jones's that pictures cut on and missed for strike

0:43:23.640 --> 0:43:27.319

<v Speaker 2>thirty nine strikeout through the big left hander as he

0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 2>is pitched in eight games already this year. Again, not

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:39.000
<v Speaker 2>a great r and a win loss record, but he's

0:43:39.000 --> 0:43:41.920
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of strikeouts to show for it. Kendall George,

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.399
<v Speaker 2>twenty one year old outfielder in Double A Tulsa first

0:43:44.480 --> 0:43:46.759
<v Speaker 2>round pick a couple of years ago. This kid can fly.

0:43:47.160 --> 0:43:49.280
<v Speaker 5>It's a pitch swing on a line driving to left field,

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:52.160
<v Speaker 5>and that is if Balchibald gets pass. The leftfielder high

0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:56.840
<v Speaker 5>mantle the wall, racing a third paces Rodriguez.

0:43:56.520 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 1>He's coming to up clay and he scores the bash.

0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:01.160
<v Speaker 1>They slide.

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Is George a safe Tulsa radio network with the call

0:44:04.160 --> 0:44:06.879
<v Speaker 2>and triple there for Kendall George. He's got an eight

0:44:06.880 --> 0:44:10.840
<v Speaker 2>to nineteen ops, twenty two stolen bases. Once he gets

0:44:10.840 --> 0:44:13.239
<v Speaker 2>the ball in play, he is hard to get out

0:44:13.239 --> 0:44:16.120
<v Speaker 2>with that speed running the base. Pass Kellen Lindz, he

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:18.200

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:20.080

0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:35.040
<v Speaker 2>but already two doubles, a triple and three home runs.
