We're gonna have uh 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.840 your time for your calls, and we're gonna hear from 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.640 the manager, Dave Robbers. An overall, really good game for 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.160 the Dodgers today, a great series in general, the last 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.640 three days, all one run games that the Dodgers were 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.760 able to win over the Tampa Bay Rays, who are 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.280 a really good team. They're fighting it out in the 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.919 Al East. They're gonna be back in the playoff pitcher 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.840 yet again. This is a raised team who the Dodgers 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.200 saw six years ago in the World Series down in 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.399 Arlington in the Bubble. This is a perennial playoff team 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.720 every single year. They're always fighting for the division or 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:46.839 a wild card spot. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:48.520 It's a really good. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.760 Tampa Bay's Race team that could score runs and can 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.840 put together big innings. And when't you know it, the 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.600 Dodgers today again gave up another big inning and all 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.920 of it came against show Heyoan, which is kind of 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:01.720 head scratching. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.280 He was really good for four innings of work. 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.200 He was cruising a leadoff walk in the fifth inning, though, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.760 and things then sort of unraveled as the leadoff walked 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.280 then turned into a Hunter Produci double. After that, there 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.040 were four singles in the inning given up by Otani, 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.760 including one where he was late covering first base on 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.800 a ground ball that led to a four run, five 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.680 hit inning for the Tampa Bay Rays. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.600 In the fifth, they batted. 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.440 Around in that fifth inning and what was a two 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.280 to nothing Dodgers lead flipped to a four to two 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.560 Tampa Bay's real lead, and the Dodgers in the fifth 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.360 had the bases loaded. Could they get more than one 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.240 run across after the Kyle Tucker walked. They couldn't, and 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.720 that was very deflating to see Alix call pop out 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:48.240 in the infield, Dalton rushing a fly ball to shallow 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.160 right field that couldn't advance the runner. And then you 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.959 had Freddie Alex freelan strike out with the bases loaded, 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.880 so the Dodgers couldn't get anything outside that one run 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.720 to make it a four to three game in the fifth, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.880 So you're thinking, gosh, there's gotta be one more running, right, 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.920 You're gonna see the heart of the lineup flip around 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.920 at least one more time to have these guys have 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.560 a chance to get one run tie it up, maybe 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.000 take the lead somehow, and they did in the sixth inning, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.239 Andy Pajez a double down the left field line and 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.880 then Freddie Freeman with the two run blasts. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:18.519 That's just sort of how they draw it up. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:22.120 And they did it again today and show Heotani in 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:26.360 favor of the win today despite the five the fifth 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.280 inning that he had today, which was unusual for show 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:29.880 Heyo Tani. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.000 Think think about this. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.640 His first ten starts this year, Show Heotani had not 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.240 a single inning of multiple runs allowed. Now when back 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.880 to back starts, he has given up multiple runs an inning. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.520 Last week in Pittsburgh four runs of the seventh inning. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.120 Today in the fifth inning against the Rays, he allowed 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.920 four runs on five it's including a walk. So not 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.680 what we're used to seeing. But when you've got a 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.440 Dodgers team surrounding him. You heard show Hey say it 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.400 himself to David Vaz say just a little bit to 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.640 go in the clubhout, Show you may not be your best, 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.960 and you know you're not gonna have your best stuff 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.240 every outing. You're not gonna be feeling your best. You're 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.640 not gonna be at one hundred percent. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:07.880 All the time. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.960 He's dealing with the inflammation in his knee on his 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.280 left knee that he plants his leg with. Then you're 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.080 talking about a blister that again flared up on his 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.240 middle finger on his right throwing hand. You can visibly 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.320 see the blood in the fifth and sixth inning coming 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.719 from shoe Otani pitching through it, and he said it, Hey, 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.920 I gotta figure out a way to get out and 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.920 go out there because of the team around him, and 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.720 he's got confidence in this team around him. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.400 That's the difference between. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.839 The team like the Dodgers and let's say the Angels 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.839 or a lot of other teams in baseball. When your 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.719 guy doesn't have his best stuff but still got really 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.760 good stuff and you've got the offense let the Dodgers do, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.839 you can lift him up. You can pick him up 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.400 when he doesn't have his best and you're gonna assume 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.000 that nine times out of ten, three times out of four, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.400 whatever it is, he's gonna have his really good stuff 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.280 out there on the mound, and the days that he 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.039 doesn't or he gives up a biginning, you can pick 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.560 him up because you are so good and the Dodgers 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:04.320 just are that good. 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:05.240 And you saw it today. 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.960 Down four to two, they loaded the bases in the fifth, 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.120 they don't get an opportunity to have a big inning there, 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.039 but wouldn't you know what, They come back in the 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.520 sixth inning and they do flip the scoreboard with that 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.880 two run home run, just the way the Dodgers do it, 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.520 just how talented they are, and they finish off the 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.520 sweet three games sweep of the Tampa Bay Race, who 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.760 again we mentioned a playoff team, a really good team 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.320 in the American League East, and the Dodgers fought back 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.479 and forth of them in games that could have gone 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:30.680 back and forth the last two days. 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.200 I mean, the Dodgers could have lost this game. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.479 Last night they were a one to one or one 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.479 nothing winner over the Race, and that one run came 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.799 on the solo blast from show Heyo Tani, so easily 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.920 could have flipped the other way around. The Dodgers lose 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.599 this series, but as it is, they prevail with three 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.599 one run wins as they sweep the Tampa Bay Rays. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:50.919 Again we mentioned it earlier. 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.200 The Diaingbacks and the Padres have both won also today, 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.960 so the Dodgers will be nine games up for San 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.039 Diego in ninety and a half games up the Arizona Diabacks. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.440 Dodgers Baseball brought to you by Midello. Midelo The Mark 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.479 of a Fire. Let's go out to the phones. Eric 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.560 in Hollywood, first up here on Dodger Talk on this Wednesday. 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.800 How you doing, Eric, Dodger nay Shore. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:20.800 Back to back champion, sweeping the Rag twenty twenty is legit. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.320 Always Dodger Nation always, never forget that that. Yeah, Oh 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:32.520 my god, pitch a gem, pitch a Chamble's Golden pony. Boy, Glad, 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.839 We're gonna have to see Blake. I'm sorry, Timmy. I 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.599 don't trust Blake anymore. I don't trust them. And I 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.000 know I got a lot of love for all my Dodgers, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.120 but I just don't trust him. My Dodger Tex chain 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.480 e Or said he's not there anymore. He's not. So 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.520 I mean, we could we could take that conversation another way. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:57.200 But literally, Pa, his all Star All Star Pies is 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.000 an All Star and I'm so happy for him. He's 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.040 played so good. He's been literally our rock this year. 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:09.040 He really has. Man and Yo, Timmy, Man, we haven't talked. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:09.160 In a bit. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.160 Man. Hey, congratulations to your daughter in the graduation. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:13.480 Thank you I appreciate it. 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.120 Two daughters graduate, went from high school, one from college, 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.680 so certainly appreciate that. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:18.000 Eric. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.720 Great to catch up with you. I'm gonna push back 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.960 a little bit on the Blake Trining. Uh, we don't 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.520 have faith him in anymore. I mean, he hasn't pitched 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.480 since Sunday. He pitched a scoreless inning on Sunday against 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:29.280 the White Sox. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.640 You go back to the Pirate. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.000 Series, he had a scoreless inning where he struck out three, 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:35.280 did have a couple of walks. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.240 He's had good game, okay game, good game, okay game. 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.320 He's been kind of up and down his last six outings. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:43.720 But with that being said. 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.280 I still have to trust to go out to Blake 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.320 Trining in a situation where you need a big right 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.240 hander to get it out, for you to get out 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.360 of a jam, to put up a zero in the inning. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.720 I still got one hundred percent confidence in Blake Tryning. 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.840 And you said, alex Vesia, what was his words was fantastic, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:03.720 was outstanding today. I'll push back on that. Alex Vesia 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.280 walk the bases loaded allbe at. One of them was 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.120 an intentional walk. He put three guys on base. The 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.520 Dodgers were in a one run game and the basses 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.600 were loaded, and he was facing Mullins on a three 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.920 to two count, and he went with his slider, knowing 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.520 that the fastball he just didn't have the control, and 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.920 the slider he had better control. And he got a 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.240 swing in a miss from Mullins to end the game 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.480 on the slider. But again that was a tight rope walk. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.000 There is Alex Vesi in the ninth Inny and made 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.120 it very, very interesting, and the race had the tie 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.480 and run ninety feet away and the go ahead run 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.599 standing at second base there with two outs in the 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.040 ninth inning. So I wouldn't call it a dominant performance 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.679 from Alex Vesia. He was able to get out of 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.800 the jam, and I know he is going to credit 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.480 a lot to Dalton Rushing for helping him get out 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.000 of there. So again Dalton rush we mentioned it. What 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.160 the job he has done filling in on a regular 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.120 basis for Will Smith is pretty impressive. He continues to 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.520 go out there and work with this pitching staff, this bullpen, 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.680 and at the same time be productive at the plate 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.480 and today at a base hit as well. He in 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.200 the bottom of the line up there with Alex Call 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.960 and Alex Freeland a couple of base hits, the three 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.240 of them driving a run. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.400 Did Freeland and Alex Call. 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:19.839 To get the Dodgers on the board in the fourth 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.440 inning with that two run fourth? Love to see it, 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.800 Love to see what Dalton Rushing is doing. And David 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.240 Vetse talked about in the pregame show, It's no secret 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.280 the more at bats you get, the more reps you get, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.520 and whatever you do, whatever your line of job is, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.280 whatever you do, whether you're just a recreational golfer, you know, 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.920 trying to figure out the sport, playing pickleball, whatever, the 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.360 more you play something, the more you do something, the 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.720 better you're going to become at that, and the more 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.600 confidence you're going to have at that. At the big 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.160 lee level, Dalton Rushing is finally getting an opportunity to 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.960 play on a consistent basis, and he's doing so because 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.360 of the injury to Will Smith, and credit to him 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.760 taking full advantage of that that opportunity. 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:02.000 Eight sixty six ninety. 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:06.120 Seven seventy tray leaving the game on this Wednesday afternoon, 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.079 one of the fifty and five and attendance got to 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.719 see a Dodger comfort behind win try. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.440 That's pretty cool. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.960 Yes, sir, Tim, how have you been I've missed you, 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.800 my man. We haven't spoken since I called you from 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.040 opening day last year Tokyo Series when I was in Taipei. 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.400 Where have you been trayed? Did you just come back 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:24.400 with what's going on? 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:25.040 Well? 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.520 We we don't have time for that, but I've been 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.160 all over the place. I'll tell you right now. Is 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.880 that the game? I'm in a Lithian park with a 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.880 couple of friends right here. Yeah, coach be back yeah, 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.760 and Horrow yeah. And I was in right field in 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.760 one sixty eight and look, hey, we got the best 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.920 record in the league. We've been cranking. The team is on. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:49.080 It's been fantastic. Look two questions you can answer either one. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.360 We got the Chris Taylor, Michael CONFORDO, Kyle Tucker Lyne 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.280 Is that a concern? Or would you rather talk about Hey, 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.480 are we gonna come up after the deadline? We're gonna 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.280 have TERRK schoolball. What do you think about that? 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.320 Well, I don't worry about Kyle Tucker, and I appreciate 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.320 the phone call. Trade great to hear from you. Thanks 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.920 for being a fan. I appreciate that the Terror Schoobol 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.680 situation will be interesting to see who, when it gets 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.240 closer to the trade deadline, feels the pressure to go 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:20.880 out and get Schooble into the rotation. And I say 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.080 that because the Dodgers are always in on the conversation. 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.600 Just because of the Dodgers and the talent they have 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.400 in the minor leagues, they have the commodities to make 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.360 a trade, they have the depth to make the trade. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.760 That's why they're always gonna be in the conversation. Now, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.280 are they gonna be in talks to make a trade 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.560 for Terror Schooball Who knows. But I look at a 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.880 team like the Arizona Diamondbacks if they're gonna be all 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.679 in for a wild card spot, and let's say they 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.680 try to get back into this race with the Dodgers. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.280 They're nine and a half games back. They're a team 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:56.040 I keep hearing look out for. They add an arm 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.800 to that rotation in Schooble. You get them in Arizona 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.240 at home and Chase Field, that's a tough place to play, 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.080 and they got a lineup that can score. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:07.640 They can they can get on base. 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.360 They play fast like they did a couple of years 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.400 ago when flying around. I mean, that's that to me 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.160 is the team to look out for in a possible 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:19.040 Terry schoolbl trade. A team that is needy of a 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.680 starting pitcher, that is maybe desperate to get somebody like 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.160 that and will overpay at the deadline to get him 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.640 just so they can get into the playoffs and make 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.560 a run. Again, the Dodgers aren't one of those desperate teams. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.400 Those Dodgers are one of the teams that will always 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.920 be in the consideration, the Mets, the Yankees. The Dodgers 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.880 have the commodities to make a trade, and so then 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.720 again they'll always be in the discussions. But do they 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.680 need to go out and get Terry Schooble. I don't 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:53.199 think they need to. Could they certainly if they got him, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.640 would that be fantastic, Absolutely it would be. But the 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.160 Kyle Tucker situation again, I'll like I did on Sunday, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.280 there's sixty million reasons why Kyle Tucker is going to 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.000 be out in that lineup every single day. And you're 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.040 going to see Kyle Tucker in right field every single 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.120 day for the Dodgers. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.640 Eight six, six, nine, seven, two five seventy. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.240 Let's hear from the manager Dave Roberts post game with 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.800 David Vassa in the media following a Dodger's another comfort 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.040 behind whind this time five. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:19.640 To four of the race. 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:24.240 Yeah, Alex made a pitch. You know it certainly wasn't efficient, 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.680 but but made a pitch when he needed to. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.480 We just see the way you guys had to responded 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.000 to what the miss bass loads chances for him and 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:34.199 kind of would be able. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.240 To come back this week. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.880 Really, uh, you know we I think that spurred that inning, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:45.120 that Dalton kind of challenge gets the walk Freddie obviously 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:50.440 a big hit, you know that that that at bat, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.880 that those three at bats with the baseload, nobody out. 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.240 That was as bad as it gets. So that was 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:01.760 fortunately we weather that inning. Who should attack on certainly more, 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.680 but we found a way to win. And you know, 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.880 there's a little confusion with the show Hey inning as 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.560 far as you know, Freddie going to second then show 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.680 Hey thinking that so then kind of gave him giving 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.840 them an extra out there. But yeah, to get show 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.280 Hey through six innings, and I thought the bullpen was great. 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.520 Was there any like hesitation about bringing Otani back out 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.600 for the sixth given the pitch count and the blister too. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.400 I thought the pitchout was good, you know, just kind 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:35.040 of making I thought about it, but just kind of 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.680 talking to Mark and just watching show Hey, this stuff 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.360 was still good, and just feeling like, if we can 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.840 get him through another inning, it would you know, shorten 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:48.520 who we need to use for the last three innings. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:49.960 And it worked out all right. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:51.800 There's a manager Dave Roberts interesting there. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.160 Yeah, they felt comfortable going back out there with show 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:55.880 Hey Otani. 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.480 So if the knee was a problem, if the blister was. 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.080 A problem, there's no way you would have seen him 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:02.520 back out there in the sixth inning and they would 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.680 have called it a day for show a Otani at 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.320 that point. Is especially after the four run fifth inning. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.240 But certainly he felt like he could go back out there. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.880 They had all the confidence in the world. So this 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.960 knee and blister talk, if it was that bad, I'm 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.920 convinced he wouldn't be back out there in the sixth 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.720 So if it was good enough for them to feel 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.280 like he was good to go, and he went out 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.400 there and pished a one, two, three, six, I think 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.600 we're in a good situation here moving forward with show 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.680 Hey o'tani, who got the win after Freddy Frieman's two 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.320 run home run at the bottom of the six put 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:34.720 him in line for the win, and the bullpen comes 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.400 in gets the final three innings, putting it up Zeros 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.600 and the Dodgers finish off the sweep at the Tampa 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:40.040 bay Rays. 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.560 Five before we'll come back here on Dodger Talk.

All right, Jose, the Dodgers were up, 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.720 then the Dodgers were down, and the Dodgers come. 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:25.240 Back and win it five to four. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.840 This series in general was pretty thrilling, three one run 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.960 wins for the Dodgers. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.119 How about the bullpen scoreless this series. How about the 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.720 defense throughout this whole series? And teams like play the 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.240 Pirates bit socks the race. You look at them and go, well, 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.479 how are they and how are you gonna beat him? 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.320 And you find a way to beat him, which is 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.399 obviously to avoid the beginning, but to keep catching the baseball. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.679 I mean, it just comes down to that, because it 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.080 is what allows you to keep your guys in there 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.199 a little bit longer and then allow your starter to 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.479 line up and properly adjust to the bullpen. And on 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.720 top of that, it gives you a chance to him 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:05.680 to have the big swing win a ball game all 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:09.240 three games, one swing really came down to that. Rojas, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.920 show Hey and today, Freddie Freeman, what. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.000 About show Hey the picture today? 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.840 Jose, what did you see in the first four innings 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:19.800 and what happened in your mind that fifth? 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:24.879 Overall? Okay, I think he's compromised a little bit more 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.520 more than he's telling in terms of delivery. And he 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.920 actually said in the interview what they say about maybe 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.520 some things that he had to change movement wise and 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:37.440 mechanical wise to adjust to that. I saw a show 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.879
