WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (5-25-26) 

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles.

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth.

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>This is World Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Here we go again. We get right running back to.

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 4>Get in on the show called eight six six, not

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.360

<v Speaker 4>Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts. Here's your host,

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 4>David Vasse.

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers do what they've been doing since twenty eighteen,

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Game one sixty three to be exact, and that's beating

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 2>the Rockies tonight. The Dodgers come from behind with a

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 2>four run seventh in name to beat the Rockies tonight

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>by a final score five to three. Welcome the Dodger

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Talk David Vase with you until ten thirty tonight here

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>on AM five to seventy LA Sports. Coming up later

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 2>in the show, we'll get you an update on Tommy Edmund.

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>You'll hear from Mark Prior on Eric Lower on the

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>eve of his Dodger debut. Plus we will check in

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>with Jose Mota. So a lot to get to, including

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>your phone calls at eight, six, six nine, eight seven

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. It kind of felt like the Dodgers

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>were flat tonight until that seventh inning. And I guess

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.800
<v Speaker 2>you can thank the Rockies bullpen in that seventh inning

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>that really brought them to life. One Mahea throwing eight

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 2>straight pitches outside of the strike zone. He was charged

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 2>with two of the runs in the seventh inning and

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>takes the loss.

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 3>He's now two to three.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>While the Dodgers got some key hits from Freddie Freeman

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>and Andy pai Has and don't discount that seventh inning

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 2>rally number one, show Hey Otani hustling up the first

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>base line. We always talk about, show hey the hitting,

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Show Hey the pitching, of course, but for him, your

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>best player, you most talented player, to be hustling up

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.639
<v Speaker 2>that first base line trying to avoid a double play

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 2>was key because Mookie Betts hit a sacrifice fly to

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>shallow left field to score Kim to tie the score.

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>If there's a double play, obviously there's no chance for

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>that happening. So that's one of the little things that

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.640
<v Speaker 2>don't show up in the box score. That played a

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>huge part and the Dodgers having the opportunity to not

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>only tie the score, but also for Freddie Freeman to

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>be able to come up and deliver his five hundred

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and sixty second career double to score Otani to give

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers the lead. So those things win you games,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>and when it's your best player doing it, that sends

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 2>a message to everybody else. So certainly a big play

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 2>there in that seventh inning. I was a little surprised

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and we could get to Mooki Betts. Now, I feel

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>like everybody is really premature in saying that this is

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the decline for Mookie Bets.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Last year he had some issues.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>That illness in the beginning of the year set him

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>back the entire summer. He came back to life in September,

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>and this year, you know, he looks stronger, bigger and

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>locked in for opening Day, and then all of a

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.399
<v Speaker 2>sudden he strains his right o bleak. And since he's

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 2>come back, you know, it hasn't looked great. But I

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>will say this, and I know everybody's tired of hearing this,

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 2>but it's reality. He has been hitting the ball hard

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>for the most part. He has hit into some bad luck,

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>but at a certain point in time, you got to

0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>get some results. But it's hard for me to judge

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets when he only has seventy nine at bats

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>to start the year. I was talking to Kenny Landrou

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 2>earlier today, the former Dodger World Series champion, and you know,

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.119
<v Speaker 2>he does a lot of coaching with the Yard in LA.

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>He watches the games, and he said, you can't judge

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets until he has between one hundred and one

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty at bats. He still hasn't gotten that

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>many at bats. And you look at keik A Hernandez

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>obviously did not have a spring training, but he got

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 2>fifty played appearances in the minor leagues. Mookie Betts played

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>two rehab games in Oklahoma City after missing almost five weeks.

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>So come on, give this guy a little bit of

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the benefit of the doubt that he's a really good

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 2>player and is just a little bit off.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>It's not ideal that he's.

0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Hitting second, but there's not a lot of options for

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>other guys to hit second. If Will Smith was Will Smith,

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I would say automatically Will Smith. But he's not really

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 2>swinging the bat like Will Smith either. So let's just

0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>give Mookie Betts at least seven more at bats before

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>anybody starts to put dirt on his career and say

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>that he's over. Now, I've never bought the idea that

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 2>playing shortstop is less taxing than if Mookie just would

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>have stayed in right field. Nobody's going to convince me

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>of that. But it's a lot easier to find an

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.359
<v Speaker 2>outfielder than it is a shortstop. And he's played pretty

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>good shortstop, no denying that, But the principle of the

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>matter is, don't try to tell me that shortstop is

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>less taxing than right field. And with Reggie Smith here,

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 2>it was great to see Reggie Smith back at Dodger

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Stadium throwing out the first pitch. I would love for

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets just to spend an hour with Reggie Smith.

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I think he would be very enlightened talking hitting with

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Smith and just talking to Reggie Smith. And that's

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>no knock on any of the Dodgers' hitting coaches. That's

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>just how good Reggie Smith is. So you know, those

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>things are what I'm thinking of when it comes to

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets. So let's give this guy a little bit

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 2>of a pass. Eight six six nine, eight seven two

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Rockies

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>tonight by a final score of five to three.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 3>Image.

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.599
<v Speaker 2>She and got hit on the right shoulder one hundred

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and four miles an hour line drive off the bat

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 2>of Troy Johnston. Let's head downstairs right now to hear

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 2>from the Dodger right hander. Image She and who stayed

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 2>in the game and really pitched well six innings, eight

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts and allowed only two earned runs.

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 5>Ah, yeah, right in between, I think bicep tricep on

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 5>my arm, But no, I felt fine. I knew it

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 5>was just caught like muscles, so stung in the moment,

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.119
<v Speaker 5>but it wasn't anything, you know, to be worried about.

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 6>So you talked about wanting to get deeper into game,

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 6>to get through seat through six innings of work tonight,

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 6>just not don't know how much pride are you take

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 6>in that, But how much pride do you take in

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 6>just wanting to stay out there fighting and stay out

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 6>there and battling through it.

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean that's that's your job as a starter,

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 5>is to get through some many innings as possible, to

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 5>take the load off the bullpen and put of zero.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 5>So it definitely felt good to be out there for

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 5>six I have a couple of vision't want to have back.

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, fucked lobbying.

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 8>How much lobbing was there to stay out there, especially

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 8>like the second time David Thomas came out.

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 5>Ah yeah, I mean I just told him I felt good.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 5>They were concerned, I think, but yeah I felt felt fine.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 5>So good amount of lobbying.

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 9>Do anything between its just to keep it loose for

0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 9>it's feel fine now.

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the trainers were great. They gave me like a

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 5>little hot pack or something to keep it, you know,

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 5>from swalling up, I guess. So yeah, it was.

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 3>It was fun, all right.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 2>There's Emma shean all as well. To allow him to

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>stay in for six innings, and we'll see how he

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>feels tomorrow, because usually the day after you're more sore

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 2>than you are the night that something like that happens.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 2>One hundred and four miles an hour off his right shoulder,

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 2>and he stayed in the game in the fourth inning.

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts and Thomas Aalbert, the Dodger trainer, came out

0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>two separate times to check on and he reassured him

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 2>that he's fine and wanted to stay in, So that

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>showed a lot about who Emig Sheen is as well.

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Tonight's game brought to you by Modello Modelo the Mark

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>of a Fighter in case you're joining us late. The

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodger bullpen scoreless inning streak came to an end in

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>the seventh inning tonight. Kyle Hurt gave up a home

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>run to Ezekiel Tovar in the seventh inning, and that

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>was the first home run the Dodger bullpen had allowed

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>in the month of May, and this thirty eight consecutive

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>scoreless inning streak went back to May twelfth, Eleven straight

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>games for this Dodger bullpen not to give up a run,

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>which includes a nine inning shutout against the Angels the

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>night that Blakesnell was scratched two fridays ago. Let's not

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>forget that they pitched a full, complete game shutout and

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 2>it was twelve different pitchers that had a hand in

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings. We need John Suhu, the

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodger the Great Team photographer to get a photo of

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>these guys because they hold the Dodger franchise record for

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the most consecutive scoreless innings. Guys named Charlie Barnes guys

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>named Wyatt Mills, Chase McDermott, Paul Gervais and Gardo Enriquez,

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Hernandez, and of course the household names of Kyle Hurt,

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Will Klein, Alex Vesia, Jack Dreyer, Blake Trining, and Tanner

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Scott all contributed to thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings. So

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 2>for all of you that freak out over one run

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen gives up, just remember thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings.

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>And that's without Edwin Diaz or Evan Phillips or Bruce

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 2>star graderol Or Brock Stewart. Let's go out to the

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 2>phones for the first time tonight after the Dodgers beat

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the Rockies five to three, LEVI was at the ballpark.

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Levi?

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 10>I'm great.

0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 7>What a great win today?

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 3>It was.

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I was a little concerned the adrelline adrenaline wasn't there,

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and then you saw the seventh inning. They they sniffed

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>out a big inning and they were able to deliver.

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 7>It was huge and it was a very exciting game.

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 7>Was also fun to be there with my son Henry

0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.479
<v Speaker 7>and three of his buddies for his birthday.

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a pretty good birthday present. Way to go, Dad,

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot for calling in. Eight six six nine

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:29.559
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 2>If I'm going to choose a birthday party or a

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 2>chance to take two of my friends to a Dodger game,

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm choosing the Dodger game. Let's go out

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to Johnny who is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Johnny,

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 9>Hey David.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I was at the game.

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 3>He was awesome.

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 7>I was just wondering what was going on seventh inning?

0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.439
<v Speaker 7>Was there some gamesmanship when Kik was getting subbed out?

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 7>And then I saw Dalton rushing getting ready and then

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 7>ultimately Miggy Road tick the at bat. Could you break

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 7>that down for me?

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a chess match because Key Hernandez was

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 2>the uh was the batter coming up, and the Rockies

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>had a right hander Hill on the mill mound, Jaden Hill,

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 2>who is their best reliever, and Dave Roberts wanted to

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.079
<v Speaker 2>go matchup, so he uh he brought in or excuse me,

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 2>they had Mahia, the right handed Mahia on the mound

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and keyk Hernandez was the UH was the batter coming up.

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>So Dave Roberts wanted to force the Rocky s hand

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to make a decision whether or not to bring in

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the lefty Brendan Bernardino or leave Mehea in there who

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 2>was struggling. So he went to uh Dalton rushing. He

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>was announced, so he was officially in the game. That's

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 2>when the Rockies matched up and brought in the left hander,

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Brendan Bernardino. And that's when Dave Roberts decided, I want

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the right handed hitting Miguel Rojas to face the left

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 2>pand of pitching Brendan Bernardino. So that was the cat

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and mouse right there, chess game between the two managers.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, how about Dave Dave out his bobblehead flashing a

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.960
<v Speaker 7>little stuffing and then also, I know, thirty six scoreless

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 7>for the Bulten was our franchise record.

0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>We got thirty eighty eight.

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 7>What's the ultimate Like, what's the ultimate record for any

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 7>Bulton I'd never heard.

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 2>That, Okay, So it was thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers that came to an end tonight. They

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 2>broke the nineteen ninety eight Dodgers franchise record of thirty

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive scoreless innings, and the major League record is

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 2>forty four consecutive scoreless innings by the Kansas City Athletics

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen sixty six.

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 9>How about that?

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.079
<v Speaker 2>So when you go work for you zoom with your

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 2>buddies tomorrow, you can give them all that information I

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.040
<v Speaker 2>just laid out for you.

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 7>Thanks, daveppreciate it.

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:05.200

<v Speaker 2>drop that on everybody. Yes, sir, all right, Johnny, thank

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you for the phone call. Wow, I'm out of work actor. Hey,

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 2>times are tough in Hollywood. Let's go on to Manny.

0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. Get that voice clear, Manny, what

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 2>are you doing.

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:31.960
<v Speaker 11>I'm getting it ready because I don't want to be

0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 11>like the last caller. I'm gonna be ready to go

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.720
<v Speaker 11>in case I get.

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 12>That job offer.

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Hey, I hope you do.

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Stevie.

0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 7>What a game to watch.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 11>I was at Dodger Stadium today beautiful weather was about

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 11>seventy four and they cooled off to about sixty six tonight.

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.679
<v Speaker 11>I will have to agree with you, it was a

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 11>little bit kind of flatline energy tonight. And then number

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.120
<v Speaker 11>eight Keiky Hernandez picked up his bat and scorched a

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.199
<v Speaker 11>line drive down the left field side, and uh, he

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 11>kids bad in the thousand right now. So I mean

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 11>things are getting things are going well for my boys,

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.719
<v Speaker 11>and I'm just I'm a little to say this. I'm

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.000
<v Speaker 11>a little disappointed about Edwin Diaz with the injury and

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 11>all this other stuff going on. But I will say

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 11>because of that, Will Smiths or or will client excuse me,

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 11>has now emerged as somebody who we can count on.

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 11>So it's good to see Will Klein take that role

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 11>and established established himself as one of the dogs in

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 11>the bullpen.

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like last year we didn't know who he

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>was until that incredible Game three of the World Series.

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 2>And you're wondering, Okay, so he did that, but how

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 2>is he going to come back and pitch this year?

0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 2>He's added a slider, which has completely changed things in

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 2>a good way for him. But Manny, I feel like

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 2>it's opened the door for Tanner Scott to get the

0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>opportunity again. And I'm really happy for Tanner Scott to

0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 2>prove that last year was an aberration. I feel like

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the injury to Edwin Diaz has opened the door of

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>opportunity more for Tanner Scott to get in the good

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 2>graces of people like Manny.

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I agree, And I was one of the ones

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 11>who was bashing Tanner last year, and so I'm just

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 11>eating my heart out and I hope I finished the

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 11>entire meal when we went until we win that third title.

0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 7>So keep it up, boys, all.

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Right, Manny, good luck with the job hunt eight six

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Rockies tonight, five to three. And here's

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 2>something else to consider. The Dodgers have won ten of

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>their last twelve. They're two and a half games ahead

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:39.119
<v Speaker 2>of the Padres. How many teams in Major League Baseball

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 2>can go a man short the caliber of Max Munsey

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 2>for three straight games and win all three And they're

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 2>looking to make it a fourth tomorrow because Moncy, I

0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.280
<v Speaker 2>would say, is not going to be available tomorrow and

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are facing Kyle Freeland, keyk is going to

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 2>be in there. You hope that Rojas isn't two sore

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to be in there again. Seriously, think about that. I

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.400
<v Speaker 2>know it's American League rules now with the universal DH

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 2>and you don't do double switches. There aren't a lot

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>of pinch hitting. But you use three batters in that

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 2>one sequence in that seventh inning, using burning keyk, Burning rushing,

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 2>and using rushing, using Rojas. All you had on the

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>bench I believe was Alex Call at that point, no

0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:33.239
<v Speaker 2>other infielders. So think about that. How many teams besides

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers could go three straight games a man short

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>the caliber of Max Munsey and not blink an eye

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and win three games, two of them against a very

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>good Brewers team. Not too many teams, if any, could

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 2>do that, except the Dodgers. Let's go out to Scott

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 2>who is at Uniclo Field at Dodgers State Aum tonight.

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 9>Hi Scott, Hey David, how are you tonight?

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it sprizingly better than I thought I would

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 2>coming back from Milwaukee.

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's tough coming from the East. Wow, you guys

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.639
<v Speaker 9>do a great job. Your call screeners the best. So

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 9>a couple of things. First of all, he's okay, five

0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 9>hundred and sixty two doubles. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.

0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 9>The guy is just a machine. And I'm so glad

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 9>he's with the Dodgers and not the Braves. This Freddy Freeman,

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 9>who every night proves why he's my favorite Dawyer Right there.

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the Braves are a distant way in the

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 2>rear view mirror if your Freddy Freeman is two most

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 2>signature moments in his Major league career are with the Dodgers.

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I would venture to say, Scott, when Freddy Freeman goes

0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 2>to Cooperstown, that he will not have a logo on

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.760
<v Speaker 2>his hat because the Braves. Obviously he spent the majority

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 2>of his career with the Braves, But the Dodgers are

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the team, and the images and the highlights you're going

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to see of Freddy Freeman more than you'll ever see

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman in a Braves uniform. Because that home run,

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 2>that Grand Slam in Game one of the twenty four

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.440
<v Speaker 2>World Series is going to be shown as many times

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 2>as Kirk Gibson's home run in nineteen eighty eight. So

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>that's the image of Freddy Freeman holding that bat high

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 2>like a sword. Nothing from the Braves sticks out.

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 9>It's a great point because once he gets to Cooper's

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 9>town with this other dodger named MOOKI I mean, the

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 9>guys played thirteen stree. I'm just thinking Kershaw, well, Kershaw,

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 9>no doubt. Look at how many guys are going to

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 9>the hall. But I mean, I just want to run.

0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 9>I go and have Kershaw's accomplishments right in front of me.

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 9>But after thirteen seasons, they should let Mooky, like you

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 9>said earlier on the show, let him have his at bats.

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.919
<v Speaker 9>Guy's got three rings, he's an eight time MVP and

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 9>All Star. He's got six gold clubs.

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's not an eight time MVP. If he was,

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>he would be in the Hall of Fame, maybe one.

0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 9>Of the great play eight time All Star. Yes, he's

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 9>an MVP and an eight time Moster.

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 2>He's a great player, Scott. And when you have that

0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 2>type of resume, I know that's your point. Give the

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 2>guy some grace after straining his right obleaque and yeah,

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.840
<v Speaker 2>give him a chance for at least one hundred and

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.400
<v Speaker 2>fifty at bats before you say you know what this

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 2>guy's done now. But that's what people do, and this

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 2>isn't the NBA. It's not the NFL, it's baseball. It's

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a marathon. Give him a chance. Eight six six nine

<v Speaker 2>Daniels Jewelers own the dream. How about Freddy Freeman not

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 2>only coming up clutch and being one of the greatest

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>hitters of this generation. But he has such a fun

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 2>loving spirit at first base. I've never seen a first

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:04.080
<v Speaker 2>baseman welcome hitters to first base the way that Freddie

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Freeman has his entire career. And when Kyle Caros got

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 2>a leadoff single in the third inning, Freddie Freeman started

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.880
<v Speaker 2>to try to get Caros to look up at his dad, Eric,

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>who was broadcasting with Steven Nelson on Sports Net LA.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.240
<v Speaker 2>You could see Freddie on the Rockies broadcast pointing up

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to the broadcast booth here and Kyle would not look

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and Eric was not looking down either. But I think

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 2>that's a dynamic that we haven't talked about a lot.

0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever seen a first baseman be as gracious

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 2>to the opponents at first base than Freddie Freeman? I mean,

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that was that was classic Freddie Freeman right there. Eight

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 2>sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:50.160
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Dodgers have won ten of their last twelve.

0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 2>They have a two and a half game lead over

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 2>the Padres. And in that seventh inning where the Dodgers

0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:59.959
<v Speaker 2>came back because of a brutal Rockies bullpen, when Miguel

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Rojas finally took that at bat in the nine hole,

0:23:03.560 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 2>he got hit on the back shin back, right foot

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>back shin area and was he was hurt pretty bad

0:23:10.920 --> 0:23:13.520
<v Speaker 2>and he was trying to walk it off. He stayed

0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>in the game, and it was in doubt whether or

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 2>not he could continue in the eighth inning, let alone

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning. And Max Munsey, who has not played

0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 2>in the last three games after being hit himself by

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 2>a pitch on the right wrist, was in the dugout

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 2>and he was looking at first baseman's gloves, so there

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 2>was a chance that Munsey would have gone to first base,

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 2>if not third base, And then Dave Roberts after the

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 2>game clarified it and said Munsey would be at third

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 2>base for the ninth inning. But the reason why it

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.880
<v Speaker 2>would have been dicey is because earlier this afternoon when

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I got to the ballpark, Max Munsey was playing catch

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 2>with a trainer from about ninety feet and then when

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers started taking infield practice, Max Munsey was fielding

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 2>ground balls, but he wasn't making the throw across the diamond.

0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:12.439
<v Speaker 2>So that's part of the line of thinking, well, Miguel

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Rojas probably wasn't feeling great. The epitome of a teammate

0:24:17.560 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 2>understanding it. The toughness that Miguel Rojas has shown over

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:24.439
<v Speaker 2>the course of his entire career.

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:26.080
<v Speaker 3>He stayed in there.

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>And Max Mounsey, even though he had his goggles on,

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 2>is right wrist taped up. I mean, if you can't

0:24:32.440 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 2>make a throw in practice across the diamond, what are

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:37.800
<v Speaker 2>you gonna do when the balls hit to you? Eight

0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Speaking of Dodger injuries, Tommy Edmond is headed

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 2>out to Oklahoma City to start his rehab assignment. He's

0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 2>going to get close to fifty plate appearances like keyk

0:24:52.840 --> 0:24:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez did, because that's what players do during spring training.

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 2>You get close to fifty plate appearances to get ready

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 2>for the season. And Tommy Edmund is expected to play

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 2>the majority of time in Oklahoma City at second base,

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:11.159
<v Speaker 2>with maybe a chance to play center field. But the

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers need him at second base. And I know Hayesan

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Kim coming into the game tonight was in a big

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 2>spiral at the plate, but Dave Roberts said he's been

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 2>satisfied with his defense, and he never made it seem

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 2>like Kim was in the discussion to be sent down

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 2>to Oklahoma City today when keyk a Hernandez was going

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>to be activated, it was redundant to keep Santiago Espinal

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 2>on the roster with keyk Hernandez. They have a backup

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 2>third basement for monthsy Now they actually have two in

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Rojas and Key k Hernandez. So you're really not going

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 2>to have Santiago Espinal on this roster and not give

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:55.679
<v Speaker 2>yourself a left handed hitting second basement in Hayesan Kim.

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Now would the Dodgers would love to see Kim start

0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to hit more. It seems like ever since Alex Friedland

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 2>was sent down, Kim has gone into a slump. But

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:08.480
<v Speaker 2>tonight was encouraging better at bats from Kim. So that

0:26:08.680 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 2>was the thinking of why Espinal was the odd man out.

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Remember he made the opening day roster because Key a

0:26:16.000 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez was on the IL to start the year. Eight

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 2>six six, nine, seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Rockies tonight five to three. Let's go

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:29.960
<v Speaker 2>out to Thomas who is at the ballpark tonight. Hi Thomas,

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk.

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 14>Hey, how you doing, David?

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing great?

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, I just want to talk about Blake Snell and

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:44.960
<v Speaker 14>how concerned you are Blake Snell and his injury. I

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 14>know he goes on the il sometimes around this time

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.320
<v Speaker 14>of the year, but Blake Snell, show Hey possibly getting

0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.960
<v Speaker 14>a cy Young and Tarique scuball trades.

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well, let's start with Snell. Zillah.

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.439
<v Speaker 2>It was an ideal for him to have this procedure

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 2>after making one start this year, but he obviously needed it.

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:09.600
<v Speaker 2>My understanding is his procedure took about an hour and

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 2>a half longer than school balls, but the Dodgers and

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.719
<v Speaker 2>Snell are optimistic that he can come back in the

0:27:16.760 --> 0:27:21.359
<v Speaker 2>next two months, so that's good news. Edwin Diaz, who

0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 2>did not have the same nano procedure on his left

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 2>elbow as Blake Snell, is going to start throwing here

0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 2>in the next week or so. I know you didn't

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 2>ask me about him. Otani has a very good chance

0:27:33.720 --> 0:27:37.040
<v Speaker 2>of winning the cy Young if he qualifies for the

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 2>r title at the end of the year, which is

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty two innings. So if he qualifies

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:47.400
<v Speaker 2>for the er title Thomas, he has a very good

0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:53.200
<v Speaker 2>shot of getting at least second place votes if not

0:27:53.480 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 2>winning the cy Young. So if it keeps going that way,

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say he's the cy Young unless Christopher Sanchez

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:05.479
<v Speaker 2>goes on this tear and continues his consecutive scorelessening streak

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and Trek scouble. The most interesting thing I heard about

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Trek Scoobol rumors over the weekend was from Ken Rosenthal,

0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 2>who said the Brewers maybe in the market for Trek

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Schoobel similar to the way they were in the market

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 2>for CC Sabathia, and he helped them get to the

0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:28.760
<v Speaker 2>postseason that year. I believe it was seven six around

0:28:28.800 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 2>that time, and what CC Sabathia did that year was incredible.

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 2>He was pitching on three days rest in a pennant

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>race to get the Brewers into the postseason when he

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 2>was going to be a free agent and not signed

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 2>back with Milwaukee. I don't see Schooball doing that kind

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of stuff, but if the Brewers, it sounds plausible. If

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 2>the Brewers were the trade for schoobl that would be

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 2>a that would be as good of a starting rotation

0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>as the Dodgers with Scooball, Mizowski and Kyle Harrison. So

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I can understand why Matt Arnold is interested in making

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 2>that trade.

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think that'd be nasty for them.

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 14>I think Dodgers have one of the best rotations in MLB,

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 14>But if they were to get Turkey Scuballs, that would

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 14>be I'd almost be like super tier, superstyh level.

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't rule the Dodgers out either. The Brewers and

0:29:24.320 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers have the prospects to get that type of

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 2>deal done. Thanks for the phone call, Thomas, appreciate it.

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Let's go out to Fontana. Matthew, you're

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk with David Basse.

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm Matthew, Yo, David.

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 15>How are you doing tonight?

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 3>Where are you at the Fontana Speedway, Matthew?

0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 15>A little baby else is at the fontast Seaways. You

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 15>know the old sea wail.

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:56.720
<v Speaker 3>For sounds like it. What do you got, Matthew? What

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 3>do you want to know?

0:29:59.000 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 9>Well?

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 15>I know about Eric Lawer, you know, picking him up

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 15>from Toronto Blue Jays, and especially when you're saying of

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 15>a high ra of you know, over six, you know,

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:10.200
<v Speaker 15>at least with some concerns. You know, how well is

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 15>the pitching? You know, how well is he able to handle,

0:30:12.880 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 15>especially at the LA weather compared to Toronto.

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:17.920
<v Speaker 3>I think he'll be able to handle it pretty well.

0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 3>He was a Dodger killer. By the way.

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 2>He has a career record against the Dodgers, pitching for

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the Padres and the Brewers primarily against them, seven and

0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 2>two with an ERA of two ninety, so he has

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 2>a very good comfort level in the nl West. He

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:37.560
<v Speaker 2>had a very good year for the Brewers for the

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Blue Jays last year. Just seemed to be a little

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 2>bit of a disconnect between him and the Blue Jays

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 2>this season, so let's see. We'll all find out together tomorrow.

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:50.800
<v Speaker 2>And I had a chance to catch up with Dodger

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 2>pitching coach Mark Pryor about Eric Lauer because Lower and

0:30:55.720 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Prior go back to Lower in his minor league days,

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 2>with Prior being the minor league pitching coach minor league

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:09.080
<v Speaker 2>pitching coordinators, so they have a relationship already which should

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>help the trust. And Lower is going to wear jersey

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 2>number thirty three with the Dodgers. I know that because

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I watched him go out yesterday for a bullpen session,

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and after that was done, I caught up with Mark Pryor.

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, I think that goes. So yeah, one that was

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:31.800
<v Speaker 8>like ten years ago, you know. I mean, look, the

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 8>main thing is him going on and competing on Tuesday,

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 8>and that's what like the first line was, like your

0:31:36.800 --> 0:31:39.160
<v Speaker 8>job is to compete, and so like as the course

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:42.560
<v Speaker 8>goes with like anybody, we will try to get to

0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 8>those things, you know, in appropriate time. You know, we

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 8>want them to be focused on making pitches and attacking hitters,

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.360
<v Speaker 8>you know, kind of doing some things here that maybe

0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:56.280
<v Speaker 8>hopefully we'll pay dividends on the first first start, but

0:31:56.480 --> 0:31:58.200
<v Speaker 8>you know, it's probably a process. It's going to be

0:31:58.240 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 8>more than you know, five six days.

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 12>Do you feel like you have more trust with him

0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:05.000
<v Speaker 12>than you would a new picture that you don't have

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 12>that relationship with.

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 3>I think it's you know, it helps that out.

0:32:09.560 --> 0:32:11.960
<v Speaker 8>We have a history together. You know, that definitely helps,

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 8>you know, kind of bridge the gap and maybe speed

0:32:14.520 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 8>some of the process up. But you know, like you know,

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:18.880
<v Speaker 8>we've said to other people it was like there's still like,

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 8>you know, we haven't been involved in his you know,

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 8>his pitching career since you know, I mean nobody here

0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 8>has I have for like, you know, a year and

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:28.720
<v Speaker 8>a half. So there's a lot of things that you know,

0:32:28.760 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 8>you need to understand of like where's he been, what's

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 8>he done once he tried, you know, where's he at

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:36.480
<v Speaker 8>in this current you know, process of his career. So

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 8>that still is you know, like any picture that we

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:42.120
<v Speaker 8>get middle of the season or even in the off season,

0:32:42.120 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 8>we still have to kind of identify those things because

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 8>things that we might suggest he maybe he's already tried

0:32:46.600 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 8>and didn't work, and so we're just trying to like

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:51.479
<v Speaker 8>go through the process and kind of check, you know,

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 8>us do our normal process and then obviously make sure

0:32:54.120 --> 0:32:55.480
<v Speaker 8>in the middle of the season that he's.

0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Ready to continue to pitch games.

0:32:56.680 --> 0:33:00.720
<v Speaker 8>So I definitely think the relationship helps from those kind conversations,

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:02.720
<v Speaker 8>but you still have to kind of go through some

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:04.680
<v Speaker 8>of your due diligence to make sure you're doing doing

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:05.280
<v Speaker 8>it the right way.

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 12>You guys being more on mechanical stuff for like pitch usage,

0:33:09.120 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 12>a little bit.

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 8>Of both, you know, definitely, I think the usage and

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:14.720
<v Speaker 8>kind of just flushing out the arsenal and how he

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 8>wants to use it, how he's been using it and

0:33:17.120 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 8>to see, you know, how that plays going forward. I

0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 8>think those things are those adjustments are much more easier

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 8>to make them kind of on the fly. The delivery stuff,

0:33:26.080 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 8>you know, probably would be a little bit more of

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 8>a slow play, but yeah, definitely trying to do both

0:33:31.000 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 8>of those at the same time.

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 12>That's what you guys have done, like just what pictures

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 12>have said, is to focus on the pitches, the two

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 12>or three pitches that you throw well, right, and they say,

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 12>that's like what you guys do so well.

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 8>I we appreciate that, you know. I mean, look, at

0:33:46.880 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 8>the end of the day, we're just trying to help

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.240
<v Speaker 8>these guys go out there and you know, compete at

0:33:50.280 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 8>their highest level, you know, or at least at the

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 8>level that they're able to compete at, you know. Right now,

0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 8>you know, he's always a guy who's pitched off his fastball,

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 8>and I think I don't think that's secret with with anybody,

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 8>but he has the ability to move it around, his

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 8>ability to like throw its all four quadrants and throw

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 8>his cutter and mix speeds occasionally. But at the heart

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:12.920
<v Speaker 8>of it, it's it's about being able to locate his

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 8>fastball and use it and then play off it as

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.359
<v Speaker 8>much as he needs to. And so I definitely think

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:21.280
<v Speaker 8>that we'll lean into that and we'll make the adjustments

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 8>accordingly that you know, we feel like will help him.

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 14>Beat the Rockies.

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:28.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's Mark Pryor, Dodgers pitching coach on the

0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 2>newest Dodger who will be making his Dodger debut tomorrow

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:33.520
<v Speaker 2>night against Kyle Freeland and the.

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Rockies, Eric Lower.

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:38.800
<v Speaker 2>And look, we'll all find out together how it looks

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow and what adjustments need to be made. And really

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the primary reason why the Dodgers acquired Lower is obviously

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 2>they feel like he's capable to do what they need

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:53.840
<v Speaker 2>him to do tomorrow night against the Rockies and moving forward. Also,

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>they want to maintain a six man rotation to accommodate

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 2>their pitchers, namely Shohei Otani, Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, mostly Otani

0:35:06.040 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and Roki Sasaki. And they don't want to put other

0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 2>guys like Emisian or Yamamoto at an injury risk without

0:35:15.040 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 2>going with a six man rotation, because that's what the

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:21.480
<v Speaker 2>routine has been. And that's where you start to have

0:35:21.520 --> 0:35:25.640
<v Speaker 2>a conversation about River Ryan. Because River Ryan has had

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 2>two really good starts, he's starting to get stretched out.

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts indicated before they even consider calling River Ryan

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:37.800
<v Speaker 2>up for a spot start or a short term spot

0:35:37.840 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 2>in the rotation. He's got to make one more and

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:44.480
<v Speaker 2>then after that there's a real possibility. River Ryan's in

0:35:44.520 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the conversation to be called up if necessary, But it's

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:52.440
<v Speaker 2>about not putting anybody else at injury risk just because

<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota was on the call tonight filling in for

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Rick Monday, who is going to return tomorrow from Cooperstown.

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 2>You work with Charlie Steiner and Tim Never tonight, Jose,

0:36:25.239 --> 0:36:28.200
<v Speaker 2>So you're you're working extra innings on Dodger Talk.

0:36:28.719 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 10>Okay, why not catch up with you too, But you're

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:33.760
<v Speaker 10>the first broadcaster I talked to today Soday. Just finsh

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:35.040
<v Speaker 10>off on a nice belt here.

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, sounds good.

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 2>The seven to nine hitters again tonight started that rally

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 2>in the seventh inning. How much are those guys overlooked

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 2>as far as what they mean to the Dodger offense, Well, yeah.

0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:53.440
<v Speaker 10>A seven guy and that spot cal Will Smiths. A

0:36:53.440 --> 0:36:56.759
<v Speaker 10>lot of teams will say what, but no. The one

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 10>thing that I did mention before that ending is, you know,

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 10>the Dodgers had so many opportunities up to that, and

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.560
<v Speaker 10>things from that capitalized and I was like, where's a walk?

0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:07.760
<v Speaker 10>I mean the Dolliers walk day score, And that's exactly

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 10>what happened. But to your point of the seven eight nine,

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 10>they have been so big for this team throughout this season.

0:37:13.960 --> 0:37:15.880
<v Speaker 10>You said, Antiasca down there and in the age of

0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:18.359
<v Speaker 10>seven eight for rec Bobby Pies and just worked out

0:37:18.400 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 10>so well. Regules for how Shorty was doing or Freddie

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:23.800
<v Speaker 10>was doing. These guys are a big part. You cannot

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 10>overbook them because we talked about and you and I

0:37:26.520 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 10>do this a lot, even off the microphone. Seven eight nine.

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 10>You guys got to take care of those guys. If

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 10>pitchers in your team, those guys canna hurt you. Where

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 10>the Valuers have so much depth, so much talent, and

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:40.480
<v Speaker 10>the ability to have a variety of guys that can

0:37:40.600 --> 0:37:42.839
<v Speaker 10>do so many things at the bottom that it's hard

0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:44.839
<v Speaker 10>to stop them. So you cannot compare the dollars seven

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 10>eight nine with anybody else, because I mean, you don't

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 10>see guys sitting with that kind of credentials hitting about

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 10>them of the other For the teams, will they make

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 10>a change and turn it over to the line up

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:55.279
<v Speaker 10>on the top edge?

0:37:55.320 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 3>Quite easy, Jose.

0:37:57.560 --> 0:37:59.960
<v Speaker 2>In that seventh inning there was run us at first,

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:03.479
<v Speaker 2>sent third, one out Mookie bats who's been struggling since

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:06.479
<v Speaker 2>he came back off the il. Was there any thought

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.960
<v Speaker 2>in the back of your mind as you're watching him

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 2>come to the plate that possibly a safety squeeze would

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 2>be in order with a struggling hitter.

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 10>Like that, Not at all, Not with Mooki. It's a

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.239
<v Speaker 10>play that you have to practice that enough with him

0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:22.839
<v Speaker 10>to let him know way ahead of the time, Hey

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:25.319
<v Speaker 10>this might happen, be ready, But you can't do that

0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:29.320
<v Speaker 10>to Muki even at this point. If anything, if Mookie

0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 10>comes to you and says, hey, I might be able

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:33.480
<v Speaker 10>to do this if you want me to, then different.

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 10>But I don't think you want to mess with his

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 10>head at this point where he is, and you know,

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:39.880
<v Speaker 10>as he mentioned, I mean limited at bats in spring training,

0:38:40.320 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 10>limited at bats on rehab, going through real weak situation,

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 10>which is one of those overlooked injuries. Sometimes it's affects

0:38:47.560 --> 0:38:50.400
<v Speaker 10>so much of your swinging, your game, your your muscle twitch,

0:38:50.480 --> 0:38:55.160
<v Speaker 10>your first step, everything, swinging the baseball, running for Woki,

0:38:56.560 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 10>He's going to be fine. He's going to be just

0:38:58.200 --> 0:39:00.840
<v Speaker 10>fine because Mooki knows how to make your destlins. Mooki

0:39:00.920 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 10>warriors a lot. Mokei really carries on his shoulders U

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 10>and the same time as a guy that you could

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:07.359
<v Speaker 10>just go out and let him play because he's gonna

0:39:07.360 --> 0:39:08.319
<v Speaker 10>come through by someone of that.

0:39:09.160 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Until he does figure it out.

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:13.280
<v Speaker 2>In that first inning, you got a runner at second base,

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:17.719
<v Speaker 2>why not try to go the other way to be

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:20.080
<v Speaker 2>able to get him over to third base instead of

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 2>trying to pull for power. Do you feel like he

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 2>hasked to start doing those type of things hitting second

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and not clicking on all cylinders?

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 3>Yet, I do.

0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:31.839
<v Speaker 10>Believe in that, Dave. You know, there's times in which

0:39:31.880 --> 0:39:34.760
<v Speaker 10>you cut You're so cut up in your own slump

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:37.360
<v Speaker 10>and the way you feel or the bad dragon I

0:39:37.400 --> 0:39:39.680
<v Speaker 10>was talking about this in the broadcasts. Battle drops so

0:39:39.760 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 10>much now that he's back to hitting a lot of

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:46.400
<v Speaker 10>lazy fly balls that, yeah, it's sometimes you simplify like

0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:49.520
<v Speaker 10>it's not a manager coming to you said, hey, I

0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:51.320
<v Speaker 10>know you're struggling, but I'm gonna try ahead.

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 9>And run with you.

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 10>And sometimes just clearing your mind to think something different

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 10>and take your game off performing what they pay me for.

0:39:59.600 --> 0:40:03.200
<v Speaker 10>Power gaps to say, simplicity, to see the ball track,

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:05.400
<v Speaker 10>the ball, hit the ground ball. It does help a

0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 10>whole lot. And that's this version that we know I

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 10>you know, talked about it during the broadcast. Those are

0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:12.920
<v Speaker 10>about team at bats and a lot of times you

0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 10>have to be better in pitch selection, even moving around

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 10>the battles, which he has a whole lot of. But

0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:20.480
<v Speaker 10>the picture knows what you're trying to do. He's not

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.359
<v Speaker 10>just going to serve your fastball away because but you've

0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:25.480
<v Speaker 10>got to fight through it like we've seen other hitters

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 10>do it. Kyle Tucker missing no opportunity to but you

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:31.200
<v Speaker 10>know it didn't hurt the value to there. But against

0:40:31.239 --> 0:40:33.160
<v Speaker 10>tot pitching, you got to be able to those things

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:34.400
<v Speaker 10>where we got like we could come out of it.

0:40:34.560 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 10>I think those things will lead you to a bigger things.

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 2>So how impressed were you, miamed Sheen staying in the

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.319
<v Speaker 2>game in the fourth inning and not just staying in

0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the game, but also pitching really well the rest of

0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 2>that fourth inning, the fifth, and the sixth.

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.399
<v Speaker 10>I applaud that. I mean, there's a lot of people

0:40:51.400 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 10>that would have come out of that game worried.

0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:54.360
<v Speaker 7>About nothing but themselves.

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 9>I mean, he's a big, strong man.

0:40:56.080 --> 0:40:58.760
<v Speaker 10>They've robbers talked about this a lot before last season.

0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 10>He built up pretty well and what I was looking at. Thankfully,

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 10>the umpires also gave him a lot of consideration to

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:08.480
<v Speaker 10>the many throws that he got to make between just

0:41:08.520 --> 0:41:11.720
<v Speaker 10>to make sure he's fine, and I'm thinking about extension.

0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 10>Can he extend? Is he holding back? You don't want

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:16.240
<v Speaker 10>to see recalling that, because that brings a lot of trouble.

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 10>It's a little bit of command issues with his fastball

0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 10>and finishing the slider right after left for maybe ten

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.839
<v Speaker 10>or fifteen pictures. But man, he really found it really

0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.600
<v Speaker 10>a plot of guy that really needed to get his

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 10>team to the seventh inn. He allow the bullpen to

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:32.719
<v Speaker 10>do what they do, and for himself to know that

0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:35.719
<v Speaker 10>he's had a few short outings in which he's let

0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 10>the team down. He said to me, And today it

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:39.880
<v Speaker 10>was another example. No matter if it's a rocky that

0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.400
<v Speaker 10>his stuff got better, is again progressed. And one thing

0:41:42.400 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 10>that will point out Dave I feel look at this

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 10>velocity was he was noted Toney seven in the basketball,

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:49.799
<v Speaker 10>but slider was just the main pick for him and

0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:52.520
<v Speaker 10>swings and missus and finish it down slider change up

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:56.040
<v Speaker 10>velocities very similar. So the rockets today was in a

0:41:56.160 --> 0:41:58.680
<v Speaker 10>version of Emma Sheehan that a lot of teams haven't

0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 10>seen because the arm speeder was up, but we see

0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 10>slider going one way save a lasso with a change

0:42:04.120 --> 0:42:06.439
<v Speaker 10>up that just makes it way more difficult to find

0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:08.319
<v Speaker 10>out what the ball's gonna do. And well you're gonna

0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:10.720
<v Speaker 10>barrow it although you're right hand and hitter or lesson

0:42:10.760 --> 0:42:12.520
<v Speaker 10>to hit her. And I showed today in the sold

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:12.960
<v Speaker 10>the slings.

0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a good night for imag Shean. Jose,

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.080

0:42:48.280 --> 0:42:48.719
<v Speaker 3>It's ah.

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:51.680
<v Speaker 2>I saw some of the photos on the Baseball Hall

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.760

0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:58.520
