Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begun.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth.
Speaker 1: This is World Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Here we go again. We get right running back to.
Speaker 4: Get in on the show called eight six six, not
Speaker 4: eighty seven, two five seventy, and be sure to follow
Speaker 4: Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts. Here's your host,
Speaker 4: David Vasse.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers do what they've been doing since twenty eighteen,
Speaker 2: Game one sixty three to be exact, and that's beating
Speaker 2: the Rockies tonight. The Dodgers come from behind with a
Speaker 2: four run seventh in name to beat the Rockies tonight
Speaker 2: by a final score five to three. Welcome the Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk David Vase with you until ten thirty tonight here
Speaker 2: on AM five to seventy LA Sports. Coming up later
Speaker 2: in the show, we'll get you an update on Tommy Edmund.
Speaker 2: You'll hear from Mark Prior on Eric Lower on the
Speaker 2: eve of his Dodger debut. Plus we will check in
Speaker 2: with Jose Mota. So a lot to get to, including
Speaker 2: your phone calls at eight, six, six nine, eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy. It kind of felt like the Dodgers
Speaker 2: were flat tonight until that seventh inning. And I guess
Speaker 2: you can thank the Rockies bullpen in that seventh inning
Speaker 2: that really brought them to life. One Mahea throwing eight
Speaker 2: straight pitches outside of the strike zone. He was charged
Speaker 2: with two of the runs in the seventh inning and
Speaker 2: takes the loss.
Speaker 3: He's now two to three.
Speaker 2: While the Dodgers got some key hits from Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: and Andy pai Has and don't discount that seventh inning
Speaker 2: rally number one, show Hey Otani hustling up the first
Speaker 2: base line. We always talk about, show hey the hitting,
Speaker 2: Show Hey the pitching, of course, but for him, your
Speaker 2: best player, you most talented player, to be hustling up
Speaker 2: that first base line trying to avoid a double play
Speaker 2: was key because Mookie Betts hit a sacrifice fly to
Speaker 2: shallow left field to score Kim to tie the score.
Speaker 2: If there's a double play, obviously there's no chance for
Speaker 2: that happening. So that's one of the little things that
Speaker 2: don't show up in the box score. That played a
Speaker 2: huge part and the Dodgers having the opportunity to not
Speaker 2: only tie the score, but also for Freddie Freeman to
Speaker 2: be able to come up and deliver his five hundred
Speaker 2: and sixty second career double to score Otani to give
Speaker 2: the Dodgers the lead. So those things win you games,
Speaker 2: and when it's your best player doing it, that sends
Speaker 2: a message to everybody else. So certainly a big play
Speaker 2: there in that seventh inning. I was a little surprised
Speaker 2: and we could get to Mooki Betts. Now, I feel
Speaker 2: like everybody is really premature in saying that this is
Speaker 2: the beginning of the decline for Mookie Bets.
Speaker 3: Last year he had some issues.
Speaker 2: That illness in the beginning of the year set him
Speaker 2: back the entire summer. He came back to life in September,
Speaker 2: and this year, you know, he looks stronger, bigger and
Speaker 2: locked in for opening Day, and then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden he strains his right o bleak. And since he's
Speaker 2: come back, you know, it hasn't looked great. But I
Speaker 2: will say this, and I know everybody's tired of hearing this,
Speaker 2: but it's reality. He has been hitting the ball hard
Speaker 2: for the most part. He has hit into some bad luck,
Speaker 2: but at a certain point in time, you got to
Speaker 2: get some results. But it's hard for me to judge
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets when he only has seventy nine at bats
Speaker 2: to start the year. I was talking to Kenny Landrou
Speaker 2: earlier today, the former Dodger World Series champion, and you know,
Speaker 2: he does a lot of coaching with the Yard in LA.
Speaker 2: He watches the games, and he said, you can't judge
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets until he has between one hundred and one
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty at bats. He still hasn't gotten that
Speaker 2: many at bats. And you look at keik A Hernandez
Speaker 2: obviously did not have a spring training, but he got
Speaker 2: fifty played appearances in the minor leagues. Mookie Betts played
Speaker 2: two rehab games in Oklahoma City after missing almost five weeks.
Speaker 2: So come on, give this guy a little bit of
Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt that he's a really good
Speaker 2: player and is just a little bit off.
Speaker 3: It's not ideal that he's.
Speaker 2: Hitting second, but there's not a lot of options for
Speaker 2: other guys to hit second. If Will Smith was Will Smith,
Speaker 2: I would say automatically Will Smith. But he's not really
Speaker 2: swinging the bat like Will Smith either. So let's just
Speaker 2: give Mookie Betts at least seven more at bats before
Speaker 2: anybody starts to put dirt on his career and say
Speaker 2: that he's over. Now, I've never bought the idea that
Speaker 2: playing shortstop is less taxing than if Mookie just would
Speaker 2: have stayed in right field. Nobody's going to convince me
Speaker 2: of that. But it's a lot easier to find an
Speaker 2: outfielder than it is a shortstop. And he's played pretty
Speaker 2: good shortstop, no denying that, But the principle of the
Speaker 2: matter is, don't try to tell me that shortstop is
Speaker 2: less taxing than right field. And with Reggie Smith here,
Speaker 2: it was great to see Reggie Smith back at Dodger
Speaker 2: Stadium throwing out the first pitch. I would love for
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets just to spend an hour with Reggie Smith.
Speaker 2: I think he would be very enlightened talking hitting with
Speaker 2: Reggie Smith and just talking to Reggie Smith. And that's
Speaker 2: no knock on any of the Dodgers' hitting coaches. That's
Speaker 2: just how good Reggie Smith is. So you know, those
Speaker 2: things are what I'm thinking of when it comes to
Speaker 2: Mookie Bets. So let's give this guy a little bit
Speaker 2: of a pass. Eight six six nine, eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Rockies
Speaker 2: tonight by a final score of five to three.
Speaker 3: Image.
Speaker 2: She and got hit on the right shoulder one hundred
Speaker 2: and four miles an hour line drive off the bat
Speaker 2: of Troy Johnston. Let's head downstairs right now to hear
Speaker 2: from the Dodger right hander. Image She and who stayed
Speaker 2: in the game and really pitched well six innings, eight
Speaker 2: strikeouts and allowed only two earned runs.
Speaker 5: Ah, yeah, right in between, I think bicep tricep on
Speaker 5: my arm, But no, I felt fine. I knew it
Speaker 5: was just caught like muscles, so stung in the moment,
Speaker 5: but it wasn't anything, you know, to be worried about.
Speaker 6: So you talked about wanting to get deeper into game,
Speaker 6: to get through seat through six innings of work tonight,
Speaker 6: just not don't know how much pride are you take
Speaker 6: in that, But how much pride do you take in
Speaker 6: just wanting to stay out there fighting and stay out
Speaker 6: there and battling through it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's that's your job as a starter,
Speaker 5: is to get through some many innings as possible, to
Speaker 5: take the load off the bullpen and put of zero.
Speaker 5: So it definitely felt good to be out there for
Speaker 5: six I have a couple of vision't want to have back.
Speaker 7: But yeah, fucked lobbying.
Speaker 8: How much lobbing was there to stay out there, especially
Speaker 8: like the second time David Thomas came out.
Speaker 5: Ah yeah, I mean I just told him I felt good.
Speaker 5: They were concerned, I think, but yeah I felt felt fine.
Speaker 5: So good amount of lobbying.
Speaker 9: Do anything between its just to keep it loose for
Speaker 9: it's feel fine now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the trainers were great. They gave me like a
Speaker 5: little hot pack or something to keep it, you know,
Speaker 5: from swalling up, I guess. So yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It was fun, all right.
Speaker 2: There's Emma shean all as well. To allow him to
Speaker 2: stay in for six innings, and we'll see how he
Speaker 2: feels tomorrow, because usually the day after you're more sore
Speaker 2: than you are the night that something like that happens.
Speaker 2: One hundred and four miles an hour off his right shoulder,
Speaker 2: and he stayed in the game in the fourth inning.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts and Thomas Aalbert, the Dodger trainer, came out
Speaker 2: two separate times to check on and he reassured him
Speaker 2: that he's fine and wanted to stay in, So that
Speaker 2: showed a lot about who Emig Sheen is as well.
Speaker 2: Tonight's game brought to you by Modello Modelo the Mark
Speaker 2: of a Fighter in case you're joining us late. The
Speaker 2: Dodger bullpen scoreless inning streak came to an end in
Speaker 2: the seventh inning tonight. Kyle Hurt gave up a home
Speaker 2: run to Ezekiel Tovar in the seventh inning, and that
Speaker 2: was the first home run the Dodger bullpen had allowed
Speaker 2: in the month of May, and this thirty eight consecutive
Speaker 2: scoreless inning streak went back to May twelfth, Eleven straight
Speaker 2: games for this Dodger bullpen not to give up a run,
Speaker 2: which includes a nine inning shutout against the Angels the
Speaker 2: night that Blakesnell was scratched two fridays ago. Let's not
Speaker 2: forget that they pitched a full, complete game shutout and
Speaker 2: it was twelve different pitchers that had a hand in
Speaker 2: thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings. We need John Suhu, the
Speaker 2: Dodger the Great Team photographer to get a photo of
Speaker 2: these guys because they hold the Dodger franchise record for
Speaker 2: the most consecutive scoreless innings. Guys named Charlie Barnes guys
Speaker 2: named Wyatt Mills, Chase McDermott, Paul Gervais and Gardo Enriquez,
Speaker 2: Jonathan Hernandez, and of course the household names of Kyle Hurt,
Speaker 2: Will Klein, Alex Vesia, Jack Dreyer, Blake Trining, and Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott all contributed to thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings. So
Speaker 2: for all of you that freak out over one run
Speaker 2: the bullpen gives up, just remember thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings.
Speaker 2: And that's without Edwin Diaz or Evan Phillips or Bruce
Speaker 2: star graderol Or Brock Stewart. Let's go out to the
Speaker 2: phones for the first time tonight after the Dodgers beat
Speaker 2: the Rockies five to three, LEVI was at the ballpark.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Levi?
Speaker 10: I'm great.
Speaker 7: What a great win today?
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: I was a little concerned the adrelline adrenaline wasn't there,
Speaker 2: and then you saw the seventh inning. They they sniffed
Speaker 2: out a big inning and they were able to deliver.
Speaker 7: It was huge and it was a very exciting game.
Speaker 7: Was also fun to be there with my son Henry
Speaker 7: and three of his buddies for his birthday.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a pretty good birthday present. Way to go, Dad,
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot for calling in. Eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If I'm going to choose a birthday party or a
Speaker 2: chance to take two of my friends to a Dodger game,
Speaker 2: I think I'm choosing the Dodger game. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Johnny who is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Johnny,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 9: Hey David.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was at the game.
Speaker 3: He was awesome.
Speaker 7: I was just wondering what was going on seventh inning?
Speaker 7: Was there some gamesmanship when Kik was getting subbed out?
Speaker 7: And then I saw Dalton rushing getting ready and then
Speaker 7: ultimately Miggy Road tick the at bat. Could you break
Speaker 7: that down for me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a chess match because Key Hernandez was
Speaker 2: the uh was the batter coming up, and the Rockies
Speaker 2: had a right hander Hill on the mill mound, Jaden Hill,
Speaker 2: who is their best reliever, and Dave Roberts wanted to
Speaker 2: go matchup, so he uh he brought in or excuse me,
Speaker 2: they had Mahia, the right handed Mahia on the mound
Speaker 2: and keyk Hernandez was the UH was the batter coming up.
Speaker 2: So Dave Roberts wanted to force the Rocky s hand
Speaker 2: to make a decision whether or not to bring in
Speaker 2: the lefty Brendan Bernardino or leave Mehea in there who
Speaker 2: was struggling. So he went to uh Dalton rushing. He
Speaker 2: was announced, so he was officially in the game. That's
Speaker 2: when the Rockies matched up and brought in the left hander,
Speaker 2: Brendan Bernardino. And that's when Dave Roberts decided, I want
Speaker 2: the right handed hitting Miguel Rojas to face the left
Speaker 2: pand of pitching Brendan Bernardino. So that was the cat
Speaker 2: and mouse right there, chess game between the two managers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, how about Dave Dave out his bobblehead flashing a
Speaker 7: little stuffing and then also, I know, thirty six scoreless
Speaker 7: for the Bulten was our franchise record.
Speaker 3: We got thirty eighty eight.
Speaker 7: What's the ultimate Like, what's the ultimate record for any
Speaker 7: Bulton I'd never heard.
Speaker 2: That, Okay, So it was thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers that came to an end tonight. They
Speaker 2: broke the nineteen ninety eight Dodgers franchise record of thirty
Speaker 2: three consecutive scoreless innings, and the major League record is
Speaker 2: forty four consecutive scoreless innings by the Kansas City Athletics
Speaker 2: in nineteen sixty six.
Speaker 9: How about that?
Speaker 2: So when you go work for you zoom with your
Speaker 2: buddies tomorrow, you can give them all that information I
Speaker 2: just laid out for you.
Speaker 7: Thanks, daveppreciate it.
Speaker 3: You sound like a work from home type of guy.
Speaker 7: No, I'm an actor, so I'm gonna work from nowhere
Speaker 7: type of guy.
Speaker 3: Oh, there we go, there we go.
Speaker 2: Okay, when you're at residuals in Studio City, you could
Speaker 2: drop that on everybody. Yes, sir, all right, Johnny, thank
Speaker 2: you for the phone call. Wow, I'm out of work actor. Hey,
Speaker 2: times are tough in Hollywood. Let's go on to Manny.
Speaker 2: You're on Dodger Talk. Get that voice clear, Manny, what
Speaker 2: are you doing.
Speaker 11: I'm getting it ready because I don't want to be
Speaker 11: like the last caller. I'm gonna be ready to go
Speaker 11: in case I get.
Speaker 12: That job offer.
Speaker 3: Hey, I hope you do.
Speaker 1: Thanks Stevie.
Speaker 7: What a game to watch.
Speaker 11: I was at Dodger Stadium today beautiful weather was about
Speaker 11: seventy four and they cooled off to about sixty six tonight.
Speaker 11: I will have to agree with you, it was a
Speaker 11: little bit kind of flatline energy tonight. And then number
Speaker 11: eight Keiky Hernandez picked up his bat and scorched a
Speaker 11: line drive down the left field side, and uh, he
Speaker 11: kids bad in the thousand right now. So I mean
Speaker 11: things are getting things are going well for my boys,
Speaker 11: and I'm just I'm a little to say this. I'm
Speaker 11: a little disappointed about Edwin Diaz with the injury and
Speaker 11: all this other stuff going on. But I will say
Speaker 11: because of that, Will Smiths or or will client excuse me,
Speaker 11: has now emerged as somebody who we can count on.
Speaker 11: So it's good to see Will Klein take that role
Speaker 11: and established established himself as one of the dogs in
Speaker 11: the bullpen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like last year we didn't know who he
Speaker 2: was until that incredible Game three of the World Series.
Speaker 2: And you're wondering, Okay, so he did that, but how
Speaker 2: is he going to come back and pitch this year?
Speaker 2: He's added a slider, which has completely changed things in
Speaker 2: a good way for him. But Manny, I feel like
Speaker 2: it's opened the door for Tanner Scott to get the
Speaker 2: opportunity again. And I'm really happy for Tanner Scott to
Speaker 2: prove that last year was an aberration. I feel like
Speaker 2: the injury to Edwin Diaz has opened the door of
Speaker 2: opportunity more for Tanner Scott to get in the good
Speaker 2: graces of people like Manny.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree, And I was one of the ones
Speaker 11: who was bashing Tanner last year, and so I'm just
Speaker 11: eating my heart out and I hope I finished the
Speaker 11: entire meal when we went until we win that third title.
Speaker 7: So keep it up, boys, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Manny, good luck with the job hunt eight six
Speaker 2: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Rockies tonight, five to three. And here's
Speaker 2: something else to consider. The Dodgers have won ten of
Speaker 2: their last twelve. They're two and a half games ahead
Speaker 2: of the Padres. How many teams in Major League Baseball
Speaker 2: can go a man short the caliber of Max Munsey
Speaker 2: for three straight games and win all three And they're
Speaker 2: looking to make it a fourth tomorrow because Moncy, I
Speaker 2: would say, is not going to be available tomorrow and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are facing Kyle Freeland, keyk is going to
Speaker 2: be in there. You hope that Rojas isn't two sore
Speaker 2: to be in there again. Seriously, think about that. I
Speaker 2: know it's American League rules now with the universal DH
Speaker 2: and you don't do double switches. There aren't a lot
Speaker 2: of pinch hitting. But you use three batters in that
Speaker 2: one sequence in that seventh inning, using burning keyk, Burning rushing,
Speaker 2: and using rushing, using Rojas. All you had on the
Speaker 2: bench I believe was Alex Call at that point, no
Speaker 2: other infielders. So think about that. How many teams besides
Speaker 2: the Dodgers could go three straight games a man short
Speaker 2: the caliber of Max Munsey and not blink an eye
Speaker 2: and win three games, two of them against a very
Speaker 2: good Brewers team. Not too many teams, if any, could
Speaker 2: do that, except the Dodgers. Let's go out to Scott
Speaker 2: who is at Uniclo Field at Dodgers State Aum tonight.
Speaker 9: Hi Scott, Hey David, how are you tonight?
Speaker 2: I'm doing it sprizingly better than I thought I would
Speaker 2: coming back from Milwaukee.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's tough coming from the East. Wow, you guys
Speaker 9: do a great job. Your call screeners the best. So
Speaker 9: a couple of things. First of all, he's okay, five
Speaker 9: hundred and sixty two doubles. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 9: The guy is just a machine. And I'm so glad
Speaker 9: he's with the Dodgers and not the Braves. This Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 9: who every night proves why he's my favorite Dawyer Right there.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Braves are a distant way in the
Speaker 2: rear view mirror if your Freddy Freeman is two most
Speaker 2: signature moments in his Major league career are with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: I would venture to say, Scott, when Freddy Freeman goes
Speaker 2: to Cooperstown, that he will not have a logo on
Speaker 2: his hat because the Braves. Obviously he spent the majority
Speaker 2: of his career with the Braves, But the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: the team, and the images and the highlights you're going
Speaker 2: to see of Freddy Freeman more than you'll ever see
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman in a Braves uniform. Because that home run,
Speaker 2: that Grand Slam in Game one of the twenty four
Speaker 2: World Series is going to be shown as many times
Speaker 2: as Kirk Gibson's home run in nineteen eighty eight. So
Speaker 2: that's the image of Freddy Freeman holding that bat high
Speaker 2: like a sword. Nothing from the Braves sticks out.
Speaker 9: It's a great point because once he gets to Cooper's
Speaker 9: town with this other dodger named MOOKI I mean, the
Speaker 9: guys played thirteen stree. I'm just thinking Kershaw, well, Kershaw,
Speaker 9: no doubt. Look at how many guys are going to
Speaker 9: the hall. But I mean, I just want to run.
Speaker 9: I go and have Kershaw's accomplishments right in front of me.
Speaker 9: But after thirteen seasons, they should let Mooky, like you
Speaker 9: said earlier on the show, let him have his at bats.
Speaker 9: Guy's got three rings, he's an eight time MVP and
Speaker 9: All Star. He's got six gold clubs.
Speaker 2: Well, he's not an eight time MVP. If he was,
Speaker 2: he would be in the Hall of Fame, maybe one.
Speaker 9: Of the great play eight time All Star. Yes, he's
Speaker 9: an MVP and an eight time Moster.
Speaker 2: He's a great player, Scott. And when you have that
Speaker 2: type of resume, I know that's your point. Give the
Speaker 2: guy some grace after straining his right obleaque and yeah,
Speaker 2: give him a chance for at least one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty at bats before you say you know what this
Speaker 2: guy's done now. But that's what people do, and this
Speaker 2: isn't the NBA. It's not the NFL, it's baseball. It's
Speaker 2: a marathon. Give him a chance. Eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're
Speaker 2: gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk. When
Speaker 2: we come back, we have two lines open. We'll take
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls at eight six six nine

Speaker 2: you'll hear from Dodgers pitching coach Mark Pryor as he
Speaker 2: helped Eric Lower get ready for his Dodger debut tomorrow night,
Speaker 2: as Lower will face Kyle Freeland tomorrow night here at
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers have won three in a row.
Speaker 2: They're two and a half games ahead of the Padres
Speaker 2: in the NL West after they beat the Rockies five
Speaker 2: to three on a five to seventy LA Sports.

Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman coming up clutch in.
Speaker 2: The seventh inning to help the Dodgers score four runs
Speaker 2: in that seventh inning and come from behind to beat
Speaker 2: the Rockies by a final score of five to three.
Speaker 2: With Freddy Freeman's RBI double his five hundred sixty second
Speaker 2: career double, He's only three away from tying Carlos Beltran

Speaker 2: the keyword home run and to your name you could win.
Speaker 2: Daniels Jewelers own the dream. How about Freddy Freeman not
Speaker 2: only coming up clutch and being one of the greatest
Speaker 2: hitters of this generation. But he has such a fun
Speaker 2: loving spirit at first base. I've never seen a first
Speaker 2: baseman welcome hitters to first base the way that Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman has his entire career. And when Kyle Caros got
Speaker 2: a leadoff single in the third inning, Freddie Freeman started
Speaker 2: to try to get Caros to look up at his dad, Eric,
Speaker 2: who was broadcasting with Steven Nelson on Sports Net LA.
Speaker 2: You could see Freddie on the Rockies broadcast pointing up
Speaker 2: to the broadcast booth here and Kyle would not look
Speaker 2: and Eric was not looking down either. But I think
Speaker 2: that's a dynamic that we haven't talked about a lot.
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a first baseman be as gracious
Speaker 2: to the opponents at first base than Freddie Freeman? I mean,
Speaker 2: that was that was classic Freddie Freeman right there. Eight
Speaker 2: sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. Dodgers have won ten of their last twelve.
Speaker 2: They have a two and a half game lead over
Speaker 2: the Padres. And in that seventh inning where the Dodgers
Speaker 2: came back because of a brutal Rockies bullpen, when Miguel
Speaker 2: Rojas finally took that at bat in the nine hole,
Speaker 2: he got hit on the back shin back, right foot
Speaker 2: back shin area and was he was hurt pretty bad
Speaker 2: and he was trying to walk it off. He stayed
Speaker 2: in the game, and it was in doubt whether or
Speaker 2: not he could continue in the eighth inning, let alone
Speaker 2: the ninth inning. And Max Munsey, who has not played
Speaker 2: in the last three games after being hit himself by
Speaker 2: a pitch on the right wrist, was in the dugout
Speaker 2: and he was looking at first baseman's gloves, so there
Speaker 2: was a chance that Munsey would have gone to first base,
Speaker 2: if not third base, And then Dave Roberts after the
Speaker 2: game clarified it and said Munsey would be at third
Speaker 2: base for the ninth inning. But the reason why it
Speaker 2: would have been dicey is because earlier this afternoon when
Speaker 2: I got to the ballpark, Max Munsey was playing catch
Speaker 2: with a trainer from about ninety feet and then when
Speaker 2: the Dodgers started taking infield practice, Max Munsey was fielding
Speaker 2: ground balls, but he wasn't making the throw across the diamond.
Speaker 2: So that's part of the line of thinking, well, Miguel
Speaker 2: Rojas probably wasn't feeling great. The epitome of a teammate
Speaker 2: understanding it. The toughness that Miguel Rojas has shown over
Speaker 2: the course of his entire career.
Speaker 3: He stayed in there.
Speaker 2: And Max Mounsey, even though he had his goggles on,
Speaker 2: is right wrist taped up. I mean, if you can't
Speaker 2: make a throw in practice across the diamond, what are
Speaker 2: you gonna do when the balls hit to you? Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. Speaking of Dodger injuries, Tommy Edmond is headed
Speaker 2: out to Oklahoma City to start his rehab assignment. He's
Speaker 2: going to get close to fifty plate appearances like keyk
Speaker 2: Hernandez did, because that's what players do during spring training.
Speaker 2: You get close to fifty plate appearances to get ready
Speaker 2: for the season. And Tommy Edmund is expected to play
Speaker 2: the majority of time in Oklahoma City at second base,
Speaker 2: with maybe a chance to play center field. But the
Speaker 2: Dodgers need him at second base. And I know Hayesan
Speaker 2: Kim coming into the game tonight was in a big
Speaker 2: spiral at the plate, but Dave Roberts said he's been
Speaker 2: satisfied with his defense, and he never made it seem
Speaker 2: like Kim was in the discussion to be sent down
Speaker 2: to Oklahoma City today when keyk a Hernandez was going
Speaker 2: to be activated, it was redundant to keep Santiago Espinal
Speaker 2: on the roster with keyk Hernandez. They have a backup
Speaker 2: third basement for monthsy Now they actually have two in
Speaker 2: Rojas and Key k Hernandez. So you're really not going
Speaker 2: to have Santiago Espinal on this roster and not give
Speaker 2: yourself a left handed hitting second basement in Hayesan Kim.
Speaker 2: Now would the Dodgers would love to see Kim start
Speaker 2: to hit more. It seems like ever since Alex Friedland
Speaker 2: was sent down, Kim has gone into a slump. But
Speaker 2: tonight was encouraging better at bats from Kim. So that
Speaker 2: was the thinking of why Espinal was the odd man out.
Speaker 2: Remember he made the opening day roster because Key a
Speaker 2: Hernandez was on the IL to start the year. Eight
Speaker 2: six six, nine, seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Dodgers beat the Rockies tonight five to three. Let's go
Speaker 2: out to Thomas who is at the ballpark tonight. Hi Thomas,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 14: Hey, how you doing, David?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I just want to talk about Blake Snell and
Speaker 14: how concerned you are Blake Snell and his injury. I
Speaker 14: know he goes on the il sometimes around this time
Speaker 14: of the year, but Blake Snell, show Hey possibly getting
Speaker 14: a cy Young and Tarique scuball trades.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, let's start with Snell. Zillah.
Speaker 2: It was an ideal for him to have this procedure
Speaker 2: after making one start this year, but he obviously needed it.
Speaker 2: My understanding is his procedure took about an hour and
Speaker 2: a half longer than school balls, but the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Snell are optimistic that he can come back in the
Speaker 2: next two months, so that's good news. Edwin Diaz, who
Speaker 2: did not have the same nano procedure on his left
Speaker 2: elbow as Blake Snell, is going to start throwing here
Speaker 2: in the next week or so. I know you didn't
Speaker 2: ask me about him. Otani has a very good chance
Speaker 2: of winning the cy Young if he qualifies for the
Speaker 2: r title at the end of the year, which is
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two innings. So if he qualifies
Speaker 2: for the er title Thomas, he has a very good
Speaker 2: shot of getting at least second place votes if not
Speaker 2: winning the cy Young. So if it keeps going that way,
Speaker 2: I would say he's the cy Young unless Christopher Sanchez
Speaker 2: goes on this tear and continues his consecutive scorelessening streak
Speaker 2: and Trek scouble. The most interesting thing I heard about
Speaker 2: Trek Scoobol rumors over the weekend was from Ken Rosenthal,
Speaker 2: who said the Brewers maybe in the market for Trek
Speaker 2: Schoobel similar to the way they were in the market
Speaker 2: for CC Sabathia, and he helped them get to the
Speaker 2: postseason that year. I believe it was seven six around
Speaker 2: that time, and what CC Sabathia did that year was incredible.
Speaker 2: He was pitching on three days rest in a pennant
Speaker 2: race to get the Brewers into the postseason when he
Speaker 2: was going to be a free agent and not signed
Speaker 2: back with Milwaukee. I don't see Schooball doing that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff, but if the Brewers, it sounds plausible. If
Speaker 2: the Brewers were the trade for schoobl that would be
Speaker 2: a that would be as good of a starting rotation
Speaker 2: as the Dodgers with Scooball, Mizowski and Kyle Harrison. So
Speaker 2: I can understand why Matt Arnold is interested in making
Speaker 2: that trade.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that'd be nasty for them.
Speaker 14: I think Dodgers have one of the best rotations in MLB,
Speaker 14: But if they were to get Turkey Scuballs, that would
Speaker 14: be I'd almost be like super tier, superstyh level.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't rule the Dodgers out either. The Brewers and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have the prospects to get that type of
Speaker 2: deal done. Thanks for the phone call, Thomas, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Let's go out to Fontana. Matthew, you're
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talk with David Basse.
Speaker 3: I'm Matthew, Yo, David.
Speaker 15: How are you doing tonight?
Speaker 3: Where are you at the Fontana Speedway, Matthew?
Speaker 15: A little baby else is at the fontast Seaways. You
Speaker 15: know the old sea wail.
Speaker 3: For sounds like it. What do you got, Matthew? What
Speaker 3: do you want to know?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 15: I know about Eric Lawer, you know, picking him up
Speaker 15: from Toronto Blue Jays, and especially when you're saying of
Speaker 15: a high ra of you know, over six, you know,
Speaker 15: at least with some concerns. You know, how well is
Speaker 15: the pitching? You know, how well is he able to handle,
Speaker 15: especially at the LA weather compared to Toronto.
Speaker 3: I think he'll be able to handle it pretty well.
Speaker 3: He was a Dodger killer. By the way.
Speaker 2: He has a career record against the Dodgers, pitching for
Speaker 2: the Padres and the Brewers primarily against them, seven and
Speaker 2: two with an ERA of two ninety, so he has
Speaker 2: a very good comfort level in the nl West. He
Speaker 2: had a very good year for the Brewers for the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays last year. Just seemed to be a little
Speaker 2: bit of a disconnect between him and the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: this season, so let's see. We'll all find out together tomorrow.
Speaker 2: And I had a chance to catch up with Dodger
Speaker 2: pitching coach Mark Pryor about Eric Lauer because Lower and
Speaker 2: Prior go back to Lower in his minor league days,
Speaker 2: with Prior being the minor league pitching coach minor league
Speaker 2: pitching coordinators, so they have a relationship already which should
Speaker 2: help the trust. And Lower is going to wear jersey
Speaker 2: number thirty three with the Dodgers. I know that because
Speaker 2: I watched him go out yesterday for a bullpen session,
Speaker 2: and after that was done, I caught up with Mark Pryor.
Speaker 8: Well, I think that goes. So yeah, one that was
Speaker 8: like ten years ago, you know. I mean, look, the
Speaker 8: main thing is him going on and competing on Tuesday,
Speaker 8: and that's what like the first line was, like your
Speaker 8: job is to compete, and so like as the course
Speaker 8: goes with like anybody, we will try to get to
Speaker 8: those things, you know, in appropriate time. You know, we
Speaker 8: want them to be focused on making pitches and attacking hitters,
Speaker 8: you know, kind of doing some things here that maybe
Speaker 8: hopefully we'll pay dividends on the first first start, but
Speaker 8: you know, it's probably a process. It's going to be
Speaker 8: more than you know, five six days.
Speaker 12: Do you feel like you have more trust with him
Speaker 12: than you would a new picture that you don't have
Speaker 12: that relationship with.
Speaker 3: I think it's you know, it helps that out.
Speaker 8: We have a history together. You know, that definitely helps,
Speaker 8: you know, kind of bridge the gap and maybe speed
Speaker 8: some of the process up. But you know, like you know,
Speaker 8: we've said to other people it was like there's still like,
Speaker 8: you know, we haven't been involved in his you know,
Speaker 8: his pitching career since you know, I mean nobody here
Speaker 8: has I have for like, you know, a year and
Speaker 8: a half. So there's a lot of things that you know,
Speaker 8: you need to understand of like where's he been, what's
Speaker 8: he done once he tried, you know, where's he at
Speaker 8: in this current you know, process of his career. So
Speaker 8: that still is you know, like any picture that we
Speaker 8: get middle of the season or even in the off season,
Speaker 8: we still have to kind of identify those things because
Speaker 8: things that we might suggest he maybe he's already tried
Speaker 8: and didn't work, and so we're just trying to like
Speaker 8: go through the process and kind of check, you know,
Speaker 8: us do our normal process and then obviously make sure
Speaker 8: in the middle of the season that he's.
Speaker 1: Ready to continue to pitch games.
Speaker 8: So I definitely think the relationship helps from those kind conversations,
Speaker 8: but you still have to kind of go through some
Speaker 8: of your due diligence to make sure you're doing doing
Speaker 8: it the right way.
Speaker 12: You guys being more on mechanical stuff for like pitch usage,
Speaker 12: a little bit.
Speaker 8: Of both, you know, definitely, I think the usage and
Speaker 8: kind of just flushing out the arsenal and how he
Speaker 8: wants to use it, how he's been using it and
Speaker 8: to see, you know, how that plays going forward. I
Speaker 8: think those things are those adjustments are much more easier
Speaker 8: to make them kind of on the fly. The delivery stuff,
Speaker 8: you know, probably would be a little bit more of
Speaker 8: a slow play, but yeah, definitely trying to do both
Speaker 8: of those at the same time.
Speaker 12: That's what you guys have done, like just what pictures
Speaker 12: have said, is to focus on the pitches, the two
Speaker 12: or three pitches that you throw well, right, and they say,
Speaker 12: that's like what you guys do so well.
Speaker 8: I we appreciate that, you know. I mean, look, at
Speaker 8: the end of the day, we're just trying to help
Speaker 8: these guys go out there and you know, compete at
Speaker 8: their highest level, you know, or at least at the
Speaker 8: level that they're able to compete at, you know. Right now,
Speaker 8: you know, he's always a guy who's pitched off his fastball,
Speaker 8: and I think I don't think that's secret with with anybody,
Speaker 8: but he has the ability to move it around, his
Speaker 8: ability to like throw its all four quadrants and throw
Speaker 8: his cutter and mix speeds occasionally. But at the heart
Speaker 8: of it, it's it's about being able to locate his
Speaker 8: fastball and use it and then play off it as
Speaker 8: much as he needs to. And so I definitely think
Speaker 8: that we'll lean into that and we'll make the adjustments
Speaker 8: accordingly that you know, we feel like will help him.
Speaker 14: Beat the Rockies.
Speaker 2: All right, there's Mark Pryor, Dodgers pitching coach on the
Speaker 2: newest Dodger who will be making his Dodger debut tomorrow
Speaker 2: night against Kyle Freeland and the.
Speaker 3: Rockies, Eric Lower.
Speaker 2: And look, we'll all find out together how it looks
Speaker 2: tomorrow and what adjustments need to be made. And really
Speaker 2: the primary reason why the Dodgers acquired Lower is obviously
Speaker 2: they feel like he's capable to do what they need
Speaker 2: him to do tomorrow night against the Rockies and moving forward. Also,
Speaker 2: they want to maintain a six man rotation to accommodate
Speaker 2: their pitchers, namely Shohei Otani, Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, mostly Otani
Speaker 2: and Roki Sasaki. And they don't want to put other
Speaker 2: guys like Emisian or Yamamoto at an injury risk without
Speaker 2: going with a six man rotation, because that's what the
Speaker 2: routine has been. And that's where you start to have
Speaker 2: a conversation about River Ryan. Because River Ryan has had
Speaker 2: two really good starts, he's starting to get stretched out.
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts indicated before they even consider calling River Ryan
Speaker 2: up for a spot start or a short term spot
Speaker 2: in the rotation. He's got to make one more and
Speaker 2: then after that there's a real possibility. River Ryan's in
Speaker 2: the conversation to be called up if necessary, But it's
Speaker 2: about not putting anybody else at injury risk just because
Speaker 2: glass Now and Snell are out right now. Celebrate ninety
Speaker 2: years of racing at Santa Anita Park every Friday through
Speaker 2: Sunday with millions and payouts every race day.
Speaker 3: For heart pounding action, new.
Speaker 2: Experiences, visit Santa Anita dot com slash Experiences.
Speaker 1: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 2: Jose Mota was on the call tonight filling in for
Speaker 2: Rick Monday, who is going to return tomorrow from Cooperstown.
Speaker 2: You work with Charlie Steiner and Tim Never tonight, Jose,
Speaker 2: So you're you're working extra innings on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 10: Okay, why not catch up with you too, But you're
Speaker 10: the first broadcaster I talked to today Soday. Just finsh
Speaker 10: off on a nice belt here.
Speaker 3: Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 2: The seven to nine hitters again tonight started that rally
Speaker 2: in the seventh inning. How much are those guys overlooked
Speaker 2: as far as what they mean to the Dodger offense, Well, yeah.
Speaker 10: A seven guy and that spot cal Will Smiths. A
Speaker 10: lot of teams will say what, but no. The one
Speaker 10: thing that I did mention before that ending is, you know,
Speaker 10: the Dodgers had so many opportunities up to that, and
Speaker 10: things from that capitalized and I was like, where's a walk?
Speaker 10: I mean the Dolliers walk day score, And that's exactly
Speaker 10: what happened. But to your point of the seven eight nine,
Speaker 10: they have been so big for this team throughout this season.
Speaker 10: You said, Antiasca down there and in the age of
Speaker 10: seven eight for rec Bobby Pies and just worked out
Speaker 10: so well. Regules for how Shorty was doing or Freddie
Speaker 10: was doing. These guys are a big part. You cannot
Speaker 10: overbook them because we talked about and you and I
Speaker 10: do this a lot, even off the microphone. Seven eight nine.
Speaker 10: You guys got to take care of those guys. If
Speaker 10: pitchers in your team, those guys canna hurt you. Where
Speaker 10: the Valuers have so much depth, so much talent, and
Speaker 10: the ability to have a variety of guys that can
Speaker 10: do so many things at the bottom that it's hard
Speaker 10: to stop them. So you cannot compare the dollars seven
Speaker 10: eight nine with anybody else, because I mean, you don't
Speaker 10: see guys sitting with that kind of credentials hitting about
Speaker 10: them of the other For the teams, will they make
Speaker 10: a change and turn it over to the line up
Speaker 10: on the top edge?
Speaker 3: Quite easy, Jose.
Speaker 2: In that seventh inning there was run us at first,
Speaker 2: sent third, one out Mookie bats who's been struggling since
Speaker 2: he came back off the il. Was there any thought
Speaker 2: in the back of your mind as you're watching him
Speaker 2: come to the plate that possibly a safety squeeze would
Speaker 2: be in order with a struggling hitter.
Speaker 10: Like that, Not at all, Not with Mooki. It's a
Speaker 10: play that you have to practice that enough with him
Speaker 10: to let him know way ahead of the time, Hey
Speaker 10: this might happen, be ready, But you can't do that
Speaker 10: to Muki even at this point. If anything, if Mookie
Speaker 10: comes to you and says, hey, I might be able
Speaker 10: to do this if you want me to, then different.
Speaker 10: But I don't think you want to mess with his
Speaker 10: head at this point where he is, and you know,
Speaker 10: as he mentioned, I mean limited at bats in spring training,
Speaker 10: limited at bats on rehab, going through real weak situation,
Speaker 10: which is one of those overlooked injuries. Sometimes it's affects
Speaker 10: so much of your swinging, your game, your your muscle twitch,
Speaker 10: your first step, everything, swinging the baseball, running for Woki,
Speaker 10: He's going to be fine. He's going to be just
Speaker 10: fine because Mooki knows how to make your destlins. Mooki
Speaker 10: warriors a lot. Mokei really carries on his shoulders U
Speaker 10: and the same time as a guy that you could
Speaker 10: just go out and let him play because he's gonna
Speaker 10: come through by someone of that.
Speaker 3: Until he does figure it out.
Speaker 2: In that first inning, you got a runner at second base,
Speaker 2: why not try to go the other way to be
Speaker 2: able to get him over to third base instead of
Speaker 2: trying to pull for power. Do you feel like he
Speaker 2: hasked to start doing those type of things hitting second
Speaker 2: and not clicking on all cylinders?
Speaker 3: Yet, I do.
Speaker 10: Believe in that, Dave. You know, there's times in which
Speaker 10: you cut You're so cut up in your own slump
Speaker 10: and the way you feel or the bad dragon I
Speaker 10: was talking about this in the broadcasts. Battle drops so
Speaker 10: much now that he's back to hitting a lot of
Speaker 10: lazy fly balls that, yeah, it's sometimes you simplify like
Speaker 10: it's not a manager coming to you said, hey, I
Speaker 10: know you're struggling, but I'm gonna try ahead.
Speaker 9: And run with you.
Speaker 10: And sometimes just clearing your mind to think something different
Speaker 10: and take your game off performing what they pay me for.
Speaker 10: Power gaps to say, simplicity, to see the ball track,
Speaker 10: the ball, hit the ground ball. It does help a
Speaker 10: whole lot. And that's this version that we know I
Speaker 10: you know, talked about it during the broadcast. Those are
Speaker 10: about team at bats and a lot of times you
Speaker 10: have to be better in pitch selection, even moving around
Speaker 10: the battles, which he has a whole lot of. But
Speaker 10: the picture knows what you're trying to do. He's not
Speaker 10: just going to serve your fastball away because but you've
Speaker 10: got to fight through it like we've seen other hitters
Speaker 10: do it. Kyle Tucker missing no opportunity to but you
Speaker 10: know it didn't hurt the value to there. But against
Speaker 10: tot pitching, you got to be able to those things
Speaker 10: where we got like we could come out of it.
Speaker 10: I think those things will lead you to a bigger things.
Speaker 2: So how impressed were you, miamed Sheen staying in the
Speaker 2: game in the fourth inning and not just staying in
Speaker 2: the game, but also pitching really well the rest of
Speaker 2: that fourth inning, the fifth, and the sixth.
Speaker 10: I applaud that. I mean, there's a lot of people
Speaker 10: that would have come out of that game worried.
Speaker 7: About nothing but themselves.
Speaker 9: I mean, he's a big, strong man.
Speaker 10: They've robbers talked about this a lot before last season.
Speaker 10: He built up pretty well and what I was looking at. Thankfully,
Speaker 10: the umpires also gave him a lot of consideration to
Speaker 10: the many throws that he got to make between just
Speaker 10: to make sure he's fine, and I'm thinking about extension.
Speaker 10: Can he extend? Is he holding back? You don't want
Speaker 10: to see recalling that, because that brings a lot of trouble.
Speaker 10: It's a little bit of command issues with his fastball
Speaker 10: and finishing the slider right after left for maybe ten
Speaker 10: or fifteen pictures. But man, he really found it really
Speaker 10: a plot of guy that really needed to get his
Speaker 10: team to the seventh inn. He allow the bullpen to
Speaker 10: do what they do, and for himself to know that
Speaker 10: he's had a few short outings in which he's let
Speaker 10: the team down. He said to me, And today it
Speaker 10: was another example. No matter if it's a rocky that
Speaker 10: his stuff got better, is again progressed. And one thing
Speaker 10: that will point out Dave I feel look at this
Speaker 10: velocity was he was noted Toney seven in the basketball,
Speaker 10: but slider was just the main pick for him and
Speaker 10: swings and missus and finish it down slider change up
Speaker 10: velocities very similar. So the rockets today was in a
Speaker 10: version of Emma Sheehan that a lot of teams haven't
Speaker 10: seen because the arm speeder was up, but we see
Speaker 10: slider going one way save a lasso with a change
Speaker 10: up that just makes it way more difficult to find
Speaker 10: out what the ball's gonna do. And well you're gonna
Speaker 10: barrow it although you're right hand and hitter or lesson
Speaker 10: to hit her. And I showed today in the sold
Speaker 10: the slings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good night for imag Shean. Jose,
Speaker 2: thanks a lot for checking in. Great job on the
Speaker 2: broadcast tonight and we'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 9: On audios.
Speaker 2: There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish
Speaker 2: radio broadcast pinch hitting tonight for Rick Monday, who will
Speaker 2: rejoin us tomorrow. He was out in Cooperstown at Baseball's
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. They've got a great new exhibit of
