WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (7-12-26) 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.920 The quest for the free peat has begun. 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.960 Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.480 three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:12.559 the fifth fifth. 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.920 This is world Champion Dodger Talk. Here we go again. 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.680 We get right running back to get in on the 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.279 show called eight six six eighty seven two five seven 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.000 days and be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.160 get your podcasts and now your host. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:29.920 Here's Tim Kakes. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.680 Like a boxer waiting for the bell to ring, to 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.480 get to the corner to save them. The All Star 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:41.120 break has saved the Dodgers. Hi, everybody, and welcome in 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.760 to Dodger Talk on this Sunday afternoon. Theysture being with 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.120 us wherever you may be. A hot, muggy day here 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:53.840 in southern California. Here monsoon conditions in some areas actually 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.160 reigned outside of our Burbank studios earlier today at the 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.720 lights on at Dodgers Stadium. Unfortunately, the Dodgers couldn't wake 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.440 up offensively after the third inning. Not a single hit 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.120 after Tommy Emmons two out, two runs single in the 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.520 third inning as the Dodgers blow a three to ninhing 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.880 lead and fall to the Arizona Diamondbacks by a final 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.039 of five to three. They get swept at home by 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.440 the Snakes, and they go into the All Star Break 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.080 having lost four of their last five. If you heard 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.679 Dave Roberts on The Clubhouse Show, not too happy is 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.640 the Dodger Skipper the way his Dodgers team is playing. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.760 Rick Monday alluded to it. Tim Neverett talked about it 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.400 as well on Sports and at LA. Eric Carrolls said, 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.279 it's not the brand of baseball we're used to seeing 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.000 with this Dodgers team. Everything we've talked about the last 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.720 two nights here on Dodger Talk, really since Friday when 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.800 the Dodgers shot themselves in the foot a couple of airs, 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.520 some bullpen game turned into a game in which five 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.160 of the seven relievers gave up runs and just kind 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.840 of kind of just fell up heart for the Dodgers 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.480 Friday night, and we said it, then, this isn't Dodgers baseball. 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.120 Whatever this is, they got to fix it. We thought 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.079 Yamamoto was gonna be the stopper last night. I took 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.680 some criticism on X. People say, well, up, we do 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.919 the stopper. Kates where's Yamamoto the stopper. Well, I don't 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.320 know what happened to Yamamoto last night. He got roughed 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.200 up as well. And the Dodgers' offense didn't do much 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.720 as well last night, getting beaten nine to two, nine 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.639 to three, and back to back games. And then today 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.480 the Dodgers got a lead off home run from show 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.160 Ao Tani Tommy Emit, a two runs single in the third, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.640 a three to nothing lead. You're feeling pretty good about 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.919 what the way the Dodgers were going gonna go into 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.119 the All Star Break with the win, little positivity. They 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.120 pick up a game, go twelve and a half games 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.880 up on Arizona in the division, and then then it 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:47.160 got away from him in the fifth inning, and then 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.800 the sixth they gave up the lead and then an 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.440 insurance run. Tim Tawa has become the new Dodger Killer, 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.760 by the way, for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Paul Golshman and 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.359 Christian Walker were the last two to be the Dodger 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.639 Killers from Arizona, and now they've passed the baton onto 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.680 a guy who was hitting under two hundred coming into 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:09.080 this weekend series. In Tim Tawa drives in seven runs. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.200 Dodgers has a team scored eight runs the entire series, 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:20.720 and Tim Tawa drove in seven alone for the Arizona Diamondbacks. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.239 Just not a good weekend for the Dodgers, and they 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:30.959 hang their hat on slug good pitching and really good defense. Well, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.360 the pitching was there at times this weekend. The offense 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.400 was there in spurts. I guess the defense has just 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:45.640 been flat out bad. A dropped ball by Andy Pajez 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.640 in the fifth inning opened the door for two runs. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.000 Max Munsey is throwing a ground ball into the back 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.800 of Eraldo Perdomo on a play trying to get him 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.000 out at home. That led to a two runs six 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.840 and the league was gone. A battle later on an 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:09.160 RBI single from Vargas. You cannot give team second chances. 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.680 You cannot open the door even just a little bit 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.960 for even an Arizona Diamondbacks team to take advantage, because 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.560 they will. And I mentioned in the Clubhouse show, the 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.080 door has been opened for a lot of teams around 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.200 Major League Baseball. About two and a half weeks ago, 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.640 you looked at the standings and there was what four 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.919 teams in the American League over five hundred everybody else 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.520 was below five hundred, and there was a lot of 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.240 separation in the standings in the American League. At one point, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.040 the Atlanta Breaks were completely running away with the NL East. 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.480 I mean, the Phillies fire their manager earlier this year, 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.800 brought in Donnie Baseball Don Mattingly. The Milwaukee Brewers and 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.080 Dodgers were going back and forth with the best record 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.560 in baseball. Well, the Brewers. They go into the All 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:59.000 Star Break having lost three in a row. They also 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:03.440 had the mizz scratched from his start today against the 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:09.160 Pittsburgh Pirates. That's not good. He's got soreness in his arm, fatigue. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.280 How about their left hander Kyle Harrison eight and two 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.719 over one hundred strikeouts, already on the injured list with 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:21.919 left forearm tightness. The Brewers getting hurt and starting to 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.520 fall apart here at the All Star break, So it 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.719 could be worse for the Dodgers. Other teams are getting hurt, 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:34.320 They're losing, and their lead is getting smaller in their division. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.080 The Brewers are only five games up now on the 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.039 Cubbies in the NL Central. The Braves are only two 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.200 games up on the Phillies in the NL East. Things 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:49.520 have tightened in the other divisions. While the Dodgers lose 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.640 three to the Diamondbacks don't look like the same team 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.600 that we saw before the off day. Still have eleven 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.880 and a half game lead now that oft D On Thursday, 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.120 John Hartongue brought it up on sports and at LA, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.640 So I want to kind of take what he said 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.760 and borrow it. Thank you, John, if you're listening driving 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:14.040 right back home. On the four h five, the Dodgers 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:19.400 had a stretch of thirteen games in thirteen days. They 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.280 went nine to four during that stretch and one all 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.600 four series. Then they had a day off on Thursday 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.880 at home, a golden day off, as they call, no travel, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.400 no nothing. You can go to Disneyland, you can go 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.040 to the beach, you can just sleep all day, whatever 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.400 you want. You don't have to do anything. It's a 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.440 golden day at home. Don't get a lot of them 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.880 in baseball. Usually you're traveling on days off. They had 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.480 a golden day off on Thursday. Kind of feels like 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.920 this team didn't wake up from that golden day off 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.760 on Thursday. Yeah, they kind of played well against Colorado, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.360 but they all three games were one run games. Very 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.760 easily could have gone bad for the Dodgers day off, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.719 and then they come back and kind of felt like 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:06.000 they were still going through the motions the last three 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.800 games against the Diamondbacks, who came out scrapping and fighting 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.000 and playing for something. And Dave Roberts said, yeah, they 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.960 were out there fighting more than they were today. He's 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:18.960 absolutely right. Tory Leavello's got that team believing. No, does 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.760 he have him believing they're gonna win the division? Probably not, 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.080 but they are right now two and a half games 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.240 back in the wild card race. I mentioned the standings 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.760 and how close it is in the East, in the Central, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:34.600 and in the American League, all three divisions starting to 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.840 tighten the belt buckle in each of those races. The 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.000 wildcard race in the American League right now it's the 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.360 Yankees and Guardians, But then you got the Mariners, Twins, 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.680 Red Sox, Astros, Orioles, Blue Jays, and Tigers all within 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.080 three and a half games. That, my friends, is a 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.600 race for the wildcard race in the American League. In 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:01.760 the National League, you've got the Nationals four games back, 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.800 the Padres three and a half, the Diamondbacks two and 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:09.240 a half, Pirates two Cardinals one, and Miami tied with 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:13.000 Philadelphia and the Cubs for the wild card spots two 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:16.760 of those being available. That's also a great race for 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.240 the two wildcard spots in the National League. So you're 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.240 seeing a lot of teams back in the race as 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.480 we get to the All Star break now two and 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.280 a half weeks ago. As we alluded to, it's a 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.600 lot different. Who's to say it doesn't change in a 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.520 couple of weeks as we get to the end of 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:36.280 July and we start looking at the MLB trade deadline 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.240 and we start thinking, Okay, what's gonna happen on that Monday, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.480 August third by three pm Pacific, Things could change and 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.199 swing back the other way where you got more teams 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.280 now out of the race that we're in it. We'll see. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.160 There's still a lot of time between now in August third, 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.520 but it's interesting to see out in the last two 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.600 and a half weeks the races have tightened up and 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:04.280 things have uh, things have really really gotten tight in 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.200 the divisions outside of the NL West. Eight sixty six 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.400 nine eighty seven two five seventy is the number eight 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.400 sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy all right, 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.360 let's go out to the phones and let's see what 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:22.319 you have to say. Ken Newport Beach. Start things off, Ken, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.400 how you doing fine? 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.280 You know, it's been probably I think two or three 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:31.040 years since I call them two consecutive days, which is 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:36.319 I guess it's my fault. But there's a couple of 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:37.080 little points here. 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:39.640 Okay, go ahead, Ken. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.640 Chen after five innings as an eer rail over seven 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:52.960 and we've got seven guys in the bullpen that won't 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.079 be pitching for the next four days. 0:09:55.280 --> 0:10:00.280 Yeah, they yeah, the least. It's made no sense to me. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:00.680 None. 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.440 Okay. Now, let's get back to a couple of other things. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.080 Nine errors in the last five games for the Dodgers, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:12.240 which is unbelievable. The Oscar last ten games is now 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.200 two for thirty three. That's an sixty batting average with 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.720 twelve strikeouts. Yet he's still out there, he's still playing. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.720 He should be on the bench once. He is three 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.200 for his last twenty three. That's a one thirty average. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.200 He has three errors in his last four games and 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.600 now has eleven on the year, which leads the major 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:38.040 leagues for all third base. Now, the team had eight 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.199 errors in the last few games it makes no sense. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.439 Last four games and four hits all day till the 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.800 night they're two and five. They're gonna rest, They're gonna 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.599 watch the All Star Game, and then they're gonna go 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:54.959 to the East Coast. Something needs to change. They need 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.000 to move some players around. And the two that I'm 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.760 most concerned about is the Oscar and Luncie, the two 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.280 guys that are doing the worst. I don't know, am 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.320 I missing anything or just going goofy. 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.880 I'm not gonna panic quite yet. Can I appreciate it? 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.800 Thanks for making us back to back calls for you 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.680 here on Dodger Talk. I appreciate that that also means 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.720 the Dodgers lost back to back games, because we usually 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.040 only hear from Ken when the Dodgers lose. I'm not 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.040 panicking yet on Ti Oscar or Max Muncie, and I 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.400 think the Dodgers going to this break it's the perfect 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.440 thing for him. And again I use the analogy like 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.480 a boxer trying to find the ropes, trying to get 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.640 that bell to ring. You hear the knocking of the 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.240 stick for ten seconds. You got to get through those 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.199 ten seconds, and the Dodgers today just needed to get 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.760 through nine innings as fast as they could hopefully go 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.280 out with the flurry, win the round, so to speak, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.760 win the game and get to the All Star Break, 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.200 and in the boxing terms, get to the corner, and 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.760 they get to the corner. But they lost the game, 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.040 and they lost the last three to the Diamondbacks. Lost 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.800 lost for their last five. Overall, there gonna regroup and 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.880 they're gonna come back, and I gotta believe they're gonna 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.120 be good to go for this series against the Yankees 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.560 on Friday. This is a team that, again I think 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.920 after the thirteen games in thirteen days, exhaled on Thursday 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.000 and saw the All Star Break in front of them 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.079 and got All Star itis. I just think it was 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.360 part of it. Look at the it's only human to 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.240 look at the standings and say, we're fourteen and a 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.760 half games up. You know, we're gonna we're gonna just 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.640 go through the motions here, or we're just you know, 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.920 we'll be okay, we'll be okay, we'll get the wins, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:33.400 we'll figure it out. You know, we'll beat the Diamondbacks. Well, unfortunately, 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.520 Arizona came to play and rallied to win today. For 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.199 he had another comeback win for the Snakes as they 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.760 beat the Dodgers by final of five to three. My guy, 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.120 Blake in Colorado, thanks for being patient, Blake. Great to 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.280 hear your voice. How you doing, Buddy good. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:49.920 I'm doing really, really good. 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.400 I'm are you. Are you worried, Blake? This team's lost 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.520 three in a row, four of their last five. You 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.760 hear the callers, you hear the panic Dodger fans a 0:12:58.800 --> 0:12:59.760 little worried, are you? 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:02.400 Yeah? 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:07.360 I'm kind of willy. But what all the three main 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.520 things that the Dodgers need to approve on to make 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.400 it back on the World Series. 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.840 What do they need to improve on? Well? I think 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.760 defense is the first thing, Blake. I think this defense 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.640 has got to get back to playing clean baseball. They 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.600 had twenty four errors going into this last week, and 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.120 they committed nine nine errors this last week at a 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.880 home against Colorado and the Arizona Diamondbacks. I mean they 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.120 committed six in this last three games. They've got to 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.760 play clean baseball, Blake. And it starts with the defense, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.000 and then it starts with the pitching. You cannot walk 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.320 fourteen guys in three games. You cannot have two bocks. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.679 You cannot have two wild pitches again. Clean it up, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.720 so to speak, clean it up, button it up, and 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.760 this Dodgers team will be okay. I think that's where 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.319 it starts and where it ends. Clean it up, moving forward, award. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.640 Yeah yeah, what do you what do you got playing 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.520 for the All Star Blake? You know what you know? 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.719 Watch the Home Run Derby on Monday nights. See if 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.600 c if our guy Dino Ebel can bring some of 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.560 his home run Derby luck to Bryce Harper. He's gonna 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.640 be pitching to him in the Home Run Derby. They 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.920 go way back to their days in Las Vegas together 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.960 when Bryce was growing up and Dino Eble was coaching 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.200 out there in the minor leagues. And now he's gonna 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.040 throw it to him. As far as the Home Run Derby, 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.360 he's done it before for guys who have won, including 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.520 Teoscar Hernandez just a couple of years ago. It's gonna 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:32.040 be fun. 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.440 At home. 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.920 Yeah. Yeah, I'm a little disappointed because I love the 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.360 All Star Game because it's the brightest stars on the 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.840 biggest stage and we're not gonna have Otani. And again, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.880 injuries are part of it. I get it, Blake, but 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.920 you know, it's it's stinks No Otani, no miss he's 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.640 out right now. Then you know, no Aaron Judge, and 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.720 you know who else we miss? No Paul Skeens because 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.520 he's pitched this weekend, he won't be able to pitch. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:14:59.120 Uh. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.160 It's it's I want to see the big stars. I 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:02.200 want to see them out there. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.280 Yeah, but at least we have That's. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.880 Right, Andy pai has. The world is gonna get to 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.680 know Andy pa Has here on Tuesday in the All 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.600 Star Game. I got this sneaky feeling, Blake that Paz 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.640 is gonna do something. He's gonna hit a home run. 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.000 He's gonna put his stamp on this All Star Game 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.840 on Tuesday night. I got a feeling it's one of 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.320 those guys that around baseball they know him, but the 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.240 fans may not know him in all the big cities, 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.720 but certainly they're all gonna know who Andy pie Has is. 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.200 I think after the All Star Game on Tuesday, Blake, 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.840 great to hear your voice, buddy, don't be a stranger. Okay, 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.360 I gonna be back.

Then in the sixth inning 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.760 by the Diamondbacks game the lead and they win it. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.880 Let's head back out to Dodger Stadium. On here from 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.080 the Dodger All Star third baseman Maximuncie. 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.960 What made you decide to go home instead of trying 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.760 to go to second? Did you feel like you had 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.080 time to maybe starter a double play? 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:03.320 No, I mean you played out in your head, be 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.800 folded the pitches thrown. You know, in that situation, anything 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.800 in front of you to your right, you go home. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.080 Anything to your left you try to turn two. The 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.480 ball took me to my right, so you know, instinctively, 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.040 I just went home. He runner did his job by 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.240 getting inside the line and it just clipped his shoulder. 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.840 You know, throws online, but not online because. 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.399 He was in the way uncharacteristically. In the last you know, 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.240 handful of games, the defense hasn't been there for a 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.320 team that's been a lead all year. What do you 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:36.719 point your finger to on that? 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:39.040 Just a slump? 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.960 You know, you go through slumps both offensively and defensively mentally. 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:45.960 It's just one of those stretches for us right now, 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.280 and you know, I think everyone's ready for the break. 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.520 Has a you know on this home stand, do you 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.200 feel like you let the offense bleed into the defense 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.280 or have you been able to keep those separate. 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.240 No, it's been just been with those. I guess it's 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.199 just one of those those times, at least for me personally, 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.800 just going through slumps and you know, you just try 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:07.880 to weather it. 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.280 You guys, im slipping ahead to the break a little 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.640 bit this weekend, just with these things happen now. 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:15.959 Or is that coincidence that too? 0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:18.399 Yes? 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:24.000 Both, No, thanks, just coincidence. We played really flat and uh, 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.240 they they didn't. You know, they took they took advantage 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.600 of opportunities we didn't. You know, It's just one of those. 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:31.320 Series we have. 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:32.880 We have them every now and then. I know we're 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.320 just to win ever single game, but you know we 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:36.520 we do lose them from time to time. 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.600 You ran into series like this during the first half 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.600 of the season where there's a little bit more at 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.720 stake for the opponent than there is for you guys, 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.480 Did you feel like that was part of the equation 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.160 in this series for them? 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.280 I can't speak for them, you know, I'm not I'm 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:55.280 not in that clubhouse. I don't know what they were thinking. 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:59.840 You know, Like I said, for for us, what we saw, 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.960 we just we didn't take advantage of the opportunities they did, 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.600
