Last Day, Welcome the Dodger Talk. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:37.080 David Vase with you until midnight tonight year on five 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.760 seventy LA Sports. We have phone lines open at eight 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:45.159 sixty six, nine to eight seven two five seventy. The 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:49.599 Dodgers defeat the Pirates tonight five to four in ten innings. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:53.080 Tommy Edmund the hero tonight with the walk off basid 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:57.840 against Gregory Soto. Soto had two strikes on Tommy Edmund 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.760 and then doubled up on that song eighty five sweeper 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.200 that Tommy did not miss hitting from the right side, 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.840 just stuck with it and was able to poke it 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:12.199 down the left field line to score Keith k Hernandez 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.840 and the Dodgers beat the Pirates tonight five to four 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:20.000 in ten innings, Evan Phillips with his first win in 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:24.360 Major League baseball in nearly two years. The last time 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:29.039 Evan Phillips won a game in relief was back September 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.280 twenty ninth, twenty twenty four. Yeah, I think we all 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.920 forget that Evan Phillips is coming back from a big 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.520 time arm surgery. It's been a long road back, but 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.959 he's able to deliver tonight in the highest of leverage situations. 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.080 And he didn't even create it because of this wacky 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.640 rule that in the extra innings during the regular season, 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.520 a runner is placed at second base. So you know, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.840 just one basic could cost a reliever a game. And 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:04.600 in the tenth inning, Evan Phillips gave up a leadoff 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.400 single to Brian Reynolds, which put the Brendan Loule, the 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.080 placed runner at third base. It was first and third. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:17.440 After that single by Brian Reynolds, Evan was able to 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:22.000 strike out Nick Gonzalez. Dave Roberts had four fingers up 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:26.880 to intentionally walk O'Neil Cruz and needed a double playball. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.480 The Dodgers were playing a double play depth and that's 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.920 exactly what Evan Phillips got from Henry Davis a ground 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.720 ball six' four to three to end that tenth. Inning 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.760 and good news for The, dodgers The brewers helped them out. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.200 Tonight The brewers are just the freight train right. Now 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.200 they beat The braves In milwaukee two to, one so 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.880 The dodgers now have a three game lead in the 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.000 lost column over The braves for the number two seed 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.160 in The National league playoff, picture and that's. Important if 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.560 you're one of the top two seeds in each, league 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.520 you don't have to play a wildcard. Series so that's 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.720 big for The. Dodgers and you, know losing this one 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.200 would have been a tough one because not only Did 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.720 Kyle hurt give up a two run tie or game 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.920 tying two run home run to O'Neil cruz in the eighth, 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.320 inning but The dodgers should have blown this game open 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:31.440 in several different innings Against Bubba, chandler they left ten 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.720 men on base. Tonight they were three for nine with 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.680 runners in scoring, positions so it just felt like The 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.440 dodgers were allowing The bucks to hang around a little too, 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.000 long and it did get them in the eighth inning 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.200 when O'Neil cruz hit that two run home run to 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.840 tie the game at. Four but luckily for The, dodgers 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.680 they're able to deliver in extra innings Against, gregorysoto and 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.880 The dodgers now are five to zero in extra inning 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:03.040 games and they have seven walk off. Wins tonight's game 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.320 brought to you By. Modello, modello the mark of a. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.920 Fighter all, right let's get to the big news of the. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:14.960 Night obviously a big blow for The. Dodgers Andy piz 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.120 was hit by A Bubba chandler fastball in the third. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.160 Inning you could hear the sound of the baseball hitting 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.800 his left hand up in the press. Box that's how 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.360 flush that pitch Got Andy, poiez as he was still 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.760 holding onto the. Bat and that's always dangerous when a 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.240 fastball hits a batter in the wrist hand area while 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.920 they're still holding onto the. Bat and The dodgers were 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.880 hoping they dodged a, bullet but they. Didn't Dave roberts 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.680 met with the media moments ago and revealed That piz 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:52.800 has a fracture in his left hand and is going 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.919 to be out for four to five. Weeks here's What 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.600 Dave roberts had to SAY. 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.640 X rays unfortunately came came up as a, fracture so 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:03.359 he'll be out for a. 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:03.640 While. 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.520 Yeah how challenging you have all the start of. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.440 The season they clutched in certain moments sounds or maybe 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.599 not to moralize. That how challenging is it's for the 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:15.520 group of the injury like. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.800 That, well it's just it's really. Unfortunate obviously it's not 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.720 season ending because obviously things like that is four or five, 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.360 Weeks SO i would expect him, back you, know knowing 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.680 him on the earlier. Side but, yeah it's going to 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.240 be four, weeks but there's still time in the season 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.040 for him to be. Back but, YEAH i, MEAN i 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.840 feel for him because he was having such a good 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.839 year and he likes to, play and but, yeah we've 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.920 got to move on and hold down the fort till 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.960 he gets back back right. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:52.200 There. Yep how difficult Is andy to replace given everything 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.359 with the bad end glove and how you kind of 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:55.960 envision getting Through douce four. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.720 Weeks, yeah we're gonna we're gonna huddle up tonight and 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.719 see who we bring. In BUT i do think that we. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.600 Can't you got to be mindful of the, defense and 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.080 so certainly in. Centerfield so you know somebody that can handle, 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:14.640 centerfield and you, KNOW i, mean we'll piece it. Together 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.640 But i'm not sure right, now BUT i do think 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.479 that the main thing is locking down. 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.240 Centerfield they Could tommy be part of that answer. 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.880 To he, Could, yeah he. Could so we're kind of. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.320 Toy we're gonna toy with some kind of. Scenarios you 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.160 guys an Expecting andy to need. Surgery you know, What 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.880 i'm not. SURE i think the docs looking at, him 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.320 but that's a, possibility and if it, IS i still 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:37.800 don't think it changes that time the. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:43.320 Timetable all, right there's Manager Dave, roberts obviously not thrilled 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.119 that they lost their all star center Fielder andy pae 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:51.000 haz tonight broken left. Hand he's going to be out 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.960 at least four, weeks and if he does come back 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.120 on the shorter side that would Have pie has Returned 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.800 september eighteenth at home against The. Giants that would leave 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.760 nine games in the regular season for pi haz to 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.279 get ready for the. Playoffs and that's if he returns 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.640 a month from. Now and you Heard Dave roberts talk 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.800 about defense being the number one key out there in center. 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.160 FIELD i have at the right now the two more 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.960 likely options for The dodgers in center, field and, look 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.600 they're not going to Replace Andy pie has his offensive 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.520 production and the threat that he has been hitting second and. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.920 Third Him otani And Freddie freeman And Max munsey to 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.240 a certain, extent have been the four guys that have 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.920 carried this offense all season. Long pi has twenty one home, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.560 runs eighty RBIs and one of the best hitters The 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.000 dodgers have with runners in scoring position this, year a 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.640 three thirty six batting average with runners in scoring. Positions 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:59.080 so let's just eliminate the fact that The dodgers have 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.360 lost one of their big offensive producers in the lineup 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.040 in the top. Three so it's gonna be hard for 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.560 anybody to replace that. Production they're not whoever goes to center. 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:16.440 Field but that leads it To Taoscar, Hernandez Tommy, Edmund Kyle, 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.960 Tucker Mookie betts to be able to start picking it 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.679 up because The dodgers need it right. Now Without, Pahz 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.000 they're gonna need those four guys to step up their. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:31.120 Game and, Look Miguel rojas explain this to me last 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:35.840 homestand players can't try any harder than they already, do 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.640 at least these group Of, dodgers because there's no way 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.560 to try harder in baseball and be. Effective so you 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.120 just need these guys to have the, focus the situational, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.160 focus he explained to. Me and you hope that we're 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:53.559 starting to see signs of that from those four. Guys 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.800 and Tonight Tommy edmond's got to feel good after that 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.400 walk OFF ba. Six all, right here are the two 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.720 options right now starting. Tomorrow here are my two options 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.440 that The dodgers can make. Tomorrow number, One paz obviously 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.600 going on THE. Il they can opt to Activate Dalton 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.720 rushing and Have rushing as a left handed bat right 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.840 now off the bench in preparation for the role that 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.560 he may have In. October and then you can have Key, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:29.440 k A hernandez And Tommy edmund split center. Field another option, 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.439 is and this is the more linear, option the, easier 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:38.400 more simple. Option just Place pahz on THE il and 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.760 call Up Alec, thomas the former diamondback who The dodgers 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.320 picked up in the middle of summer to play excellent 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.079 defense in center field and platoon With Keyk hernandez Because 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.160 Alec thomas is a left handed hitter and a really 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:58.360 good defensive center. Fielder that's probably the more likely. Scenario 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.400 The dodgers will call Up. Thomas he's already on the 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.240 forty man. Roster he has an eight fifty five ops 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.000 At Oklahoma city this year since joining the team halfway 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.920 through the, year and a two ninety six betting. Average 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.880 he's got a lot of, Speed so that's probably the 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.440 more likely. Scenario and if you go back and listen 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:23.960 to The Dodger talks From, DENVER i had mentioned calling 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:29.160 UP Jdp josua De paula when rosters Expanded, september to 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:34.720 possibly platoon in left field if Ta Oscar hernandez didn't 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:40.200 start hitting righties more. Effectively we all KNOW jdp has 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:45.480 had some challenges defensively in the. Outfield BUT i remember 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.920 back in twenty seventeen when The dodgers Needed Chris taylor 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.360 to go out to center, field a position in fact 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.280 the outfield he never. Played AND i Remember Chris taylor 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.959 And Dave roberts both saying that if you're trying to 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.920 learn the, outfield center field is the easiest position to, 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.880 learn just as far as the baseball staying true to. Itself, 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.680 now that would be a huge gamble to PUT jdp 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.000 in center field Until pahz, returns but it's an option 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.600 on the. Table but quite, honestly it feels like The 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.200 Alec thomas being called up move seems to be the 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:27.800 cleanest right now in the immediate near, future meaning tomorrow 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.000 eight six six, nine eight seven two five seventy is 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.599 the phone.

Defense i'm just 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.080 really impressed how much teamwork Did dodgers have when it 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.000 comes to extra. Innings that's five and. Oh that's quite. 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.600 Impressive, yeah for a team that did not play extra 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.560 innings for the first ninety plus games of the season 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:53.080 to be undefeated obviously shows that they've got some clutch, 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.400 jeans and we know about that on their. Team happy 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.400 birthday to you and glad your friends brought you out 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:03.320 to the ball eight sixty six two five seventy is 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.600 the phone. Number dodgers beat The pirates tonight five to 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.560 four in ten, innings a rare win phone call From 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.960 ken And Newport, beach even though The dodgers did lose 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.480 their star center fielder. Tonight, Hi, ken you're On Dodger. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:23.360 Talk oh Hi, David so somebody already brought this. Up 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.880 but you don't know if this game is going to 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.760 go one morning of four mornings to binch it for 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.080 your best clutch hitter. Months he made no. Sense i'm 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:32.280 screamed it about. 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.040 That unless there's an injury we don't know. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.560 About, YES i, agree and then leave pucker in there 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.960 and made no. Sense but here's the big problem that 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.640 we have the left fielder and the right field and 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.840 his team is not good and their center fielder is. 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.720 Phenomenal how are we going to make up that? Difference 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.280 because you got a bad left fielder and you've got 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.000 a bad right fielder and you've got a great center 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.120 fielder and he's, injured and that really really is hurting 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.600 me right. NOW i just hope there's a. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.800 Plan, WELL i mean there is a, Plan, Ken but 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.520 when you talk about the poor production from Ta Oscar 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.400 hernandez And Kyle. Tucker that's got to change With pie 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.480 has been out for the next. Month this puts All 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.000 this puts the spotlight on both those guys to pick 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.040 up their offensive production. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.400 Well also their defensive. PRODUCTION i guess neither of them 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:27.240 are good at. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.560 That, YEAH i would say obviously the metrics show there 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.440 below par there's no disputing that Can but, yeah you're, 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.359 Right Andy pie has covered a lot of ground and 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.480 got to a lot of balls in the left and 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.840 right field gaps because those two guys don't have a 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.480 lot of. Range and that's the reason Why Dave roberts 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:51.760 said holding down center field is the primary objective UNTIL 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.800 pa has, returns and that's why a guy Like Alec 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.760 thomas having him in the organization helps. Out he's got 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.400 a lot of, speed can cover a lot of. Ground KEITH. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.679 A hernandez is a really good center, fielder but he's thirty. 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.159 Five you don't want to play him every. Day And 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:10.359 Tommy edman obviously can play out there as. Well so 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.479 you got three guys that can play the defense that 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.439 they need in center field and cover a lot of. 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.159 Ground But Alec thomas probably the guy that has the 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.280 most capability to do. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:27.280 That wells could, win but a bad ending, there so 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:27.800 we'll see what. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.600 Happens all, Right, ken thank you for the phone call 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:35.320 and stating the obvious look that that's the.

AGO a lot 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.399 of guys have to laser the focus in in the 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.600 situations to be able to be who they've been in their. 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.080 Careers speaking Of Kyle, tucker we're gonna get to him 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.280 when we continue On Dodger.
