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. The Dodgers are the favorites to become
Speaker 2: the fifth.
Speaker 3: This is world Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 1: Here we go again, Rigera running back to.
Speaker 3: Get in on the show called eight six six seven,
Speaker 3: and be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch
Speaker 3: your podcasts.
Speaker 4: Here's your host, David Vase.
Speaker 2: Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase live at Chase Field.
Speaker 2: After the Dodgers lose for the seventh straight time, four
Speaker 2: to three, the final score tonight as Ryan Waltschmidt hits
Speaker 2: a walk off two run home run against Edwin Diaz
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers fit to be tied again tonight as
Speaker 2: they fall for the first game of this.
Speaker 1: Three game series.
Speaker 2: Arizona now has beaten them five straight times. Remember Arizona
Speaker 2: swept the Dodgers at Dodgers State going into the All
Speaker 2: Star break, and they continue to push forward. They're one
Speaker 2: of those hotter National League teams that has worked their
Speaker 2: way into the playoff picture. Right now, they would be
Speaker 2: the number six seed in the postseason brackets. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: are number three now the three seed after Milwaukee and
Speaker 2: Atlanta have passed them for the two best records in
Speaker 2: the National League. But look, the Dodgers can't worry about that.
Speaker 2: They got to worry about themselves. They got to find
Speaker 2: a way to pick themselves up. And I know they've
Speaker 2: played more games than any other team the last two years.
Speaker 2: I know it's the dog days of August. I know
Speaker 2: they had a large lead, still do seven and a
Speaker 2: half games, still a pretty comfortable lead. But as you've
Speaker 2: seen in the American League East with the Red Sox,
Speaker 2: as you have seen in the n NOL Central with
Speaker 2: the Cubs, those leads can go away pretty quickly if
Speaker 2: you have a hot team that catches real fire and
Speaker 2: you're playing mediocre baseball. And that's what the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: doing right now. They're playing mediocre. And I know it's
Speaker 2: not sexy to talk about. I know it's not a
Speaker 2: hot take, but if you go back to the first
Speaker 2: series after the All Star break up until tonight, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have been a very bad base running team. And
Speaker 2: when you can score runs and you're running into outs
Speaker 2: on the bases, that only compounds all of that. Tonight,
Speaker 2: sho Hao Tani caught stealing. Where's he going? Why is
Speaker 2: he going anywhere? I thought he had a bad left knee.
Speaker 2: He should stay at first base. Although I felt like
Speaker 2: he was safe, it was a bad call and not
Speaker 2: enough to overturn it. So look, I'm not against him
Speaker 2: stealing bases, but I just don't see the purpose in
Speaker 2: that situation. Tommy Edman picked off first base with Sho
Speaker 2: Haotani in the hole, I mean, what was that about.
Speaker 2: In the sixth inning, Hunter Fiducia singles Otan walks, you
Speaker 2: could have had something in that inning if Tommy Edmond
Speaker 2: doesn't get picked off. So those are the type of
Speaker 2: things that are happening. And also in the seventh inning,
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts was very fortunate to score in that inning
Speaker 2: because he got a bad read on a hard sinking
Speaker 2: line drive by Kyle Tucker that got by Kittel Marte.
Speaker 2: I mean, that ball was not going to be caught.
Speaker 2: It was hitting the ground one way or the other.
Speaker 2: Mookie needed to go to third and probably should have
Speaker 2: scored once it got through the infield. And speaking of
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, a bad read on a flare by Miguel
Speaker 2: Rojas to center field you got to hear the sound
Speaker 2: of the bat. You gotta have a better idea who's
Speaker 2: in center field, where that center field fielder is playing,
Speaker 2: and you got to read the ball. I know, when
Speaker 2: you're down on the field, the game is a lot
Speaker 2: faster than what it is up here in the press box.
Speaker 2: But come on, we Kyle Tucker again. We heard was
Speaker 2: a good base runner. We haven't seen that. And in fact,
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and Shoe a Otani are probably the two
Speaker 2: biggest culprits for making as many bad base running mistakes
Speaker 2: and outs since the All Star break. Eight nine, eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number we have.
Speaker 2: Phone lines open at eight six six nine eighty seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy. And look, my point is the defense
Speaker 2: has been lackluster, the base running has been atrocious, the
Speaker 2: at bat quality has been poor during this seven game
Speaker 2: losing streak.
Speaker 1: Ti Oscar Hernandez.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows what I think about Tioscar Hernandez, But in
Speaker 2: Chicago that last game of the series, horrible at bats. Tonight,
Speaker 2: horrible at bats. I just don't know what's going through
Speaker 2: his mind in those situations, especially in the seventh inning
Speaker 2: where he swings at the first pitch and pops up
Speaker 2: to the second basement.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on that. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Where the focus is at that point in time, or
Speaker 2: what the thought process the plan is at that point
Speaker 2: in time, but look, these are the ebbs and flows
Speaker 2: of a season.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers lost seven in a row last.
Speaker 2: Year as well. The bullpen was a big part of
Speaker 2: it last year. They are a big part of it
Speaker 2: this year too. The bullpen era has been close to
Speaker 2: six over the last few weeks, so tonight no different.
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott, I thought he should have been throwing more
Speaker 2: fastballs up and into Nolan Aeronato.
Speaker 1: There was no reason for that at bat to get
Speaker 1: to ten pitches.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the game plan was with Ben
Speaker 2: Roardfred and Mark Pryor, but a little too many sliders
Speaker 2: for me from Tanner Scott and too many sliders from
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz. I know that's his money pitch, but it
Speaker 2: hasn't been there. He was getting strikes and swings and
Speaker 2: misses with his fastball, and I just think you have
Speaker 2: to work from there. But certainly a frustrating loss for
Speaker 2: the Dodger They've lost seven in a row. They're seven
Speaker 2: and a half games ahead of Arizona in the NL
Speaker 2: last and look, they better come ready to play these
Speaker 2: next two games, because as you saw tonight, the Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: are not backing down.
Speaker 1: They're not conceding anything.
Speaker 2: And a lot of these same Diamondbacks were those Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three that swept the Dodgers. So the
Speaker 2: intimidation factor is not there. Let's head downstairs right now
Speaker 2: to hear for manager Dave Roberts on Sports at LA.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's a loss is a loss, but
Speaker 5: to get walked off all never feels good. You know.
Speaker 5: We didn't play a clean game, a great game on
Speaker 5: either side of the baseball, but we did enough to
Speaker 5: you know, put ourselves in a position to win a game,
Speaker 5: and unfortunately we couldn't finish it.
Speaker 6: What did you see just from Edwin in that final
Speaker 6: at that he talked about just how the slider there
Speaker 6: wasn't wasn't there tonight? What are you seeing from him
Speaker 6: right now as he manages kind of getting coming off
Speaker 6: the aisle.
Speaker 5: I think that's about right. I thought the fastball was good,
Speaker 5: I thought the fastball life was good, but the slider
Speaker 5: just isn't, you know, having much effect, and you know
Speaker 5: he left one close to Walschmidt. Yeah, and he hit
Speaker 5: a homer. But and I think that he just hasn't
Speaker 5: had the feel for that pitch since he's got back.
Speaker 5: But you know, fastball seems to be getting better command
Speaker 5: of it the life of it, but the slider or
Speaker 5: something that you know, you got to have something go
Speaker 5: left and get swing or miss with that pitch too.
Speaker 7: So agree that it's.
Speaker 3: Been so shaky for him, especially with that pitch so
Speaker 3: far this year.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's it's obviously it sucks to
Speaker 5: go through it. He's working hard to kind of figure
Speaker 5: some things out, but you know, it's one of those
Speaker 5: things that it is a little bit tougher when you're
Speaker 5: trying to work through it and you're at the back
Speaker 5: end of a game and you don't have that feel
Speaker 5: for your you know, your best secondary pitch and you're
Speaker 5: essentially your only secondary pitch. So it doesn't feel good.
Speaker 5: But I know that the track record, he's working hard,
Speaker 5: he's not going to run from it, and it's one
Speaker 5: of those things that you've got to kind of throw
Speaker 5: them into it. No one, he's healthy and he's been
Speaker 5: there and kind of work his way out of it.
Speaker 8: I mean, he stated would him in our closer situation
Speaker 8: when he came to that, and you read thinks that
Speaker 8: we had at all with.
Speaker 5: The results, Well, I think that there's you know, a
Speaker 5: couple of games that he's closed, there's been safe situations,
Speaker 5: some games that he hasn't because he needed work and
Speaker 5: we had a full run lead. I think honestly is
Speaker 5: that you also got to look at the options and
Speaker 5: see the way some of these guys are throwing. They're
Speaker 5: not throwing great either, you know, so we got to
Speaker 5: keep kind of keeping guys in their roles that they've
Speaker 5: earned and trying to laying guys up and try to
Speaker 5: get them kind of getting on a run back the
Speaker 5: way we were a few weeks ago. So yeah, I
Speaker 5: just don't think right now there's a clear cut alternative.
Speaker 2: All right, There's manager Dave Roberts, after a disappointing loss,
Speaker 2: a walk off to run home run by the number
Speaker 2: nine hitter Ryan Waltschmidt to walk off the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: beat Edwin Diaz four to three. Eight sixty six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven, two five seventy is the phone number. Let's
Speaker 2: go out to the phones and we'll hear from Edwin
Speaker 2: Diaz at the bottom of the hour. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Culver City. Greg, You're on Dodger Talk Live from
Speaker 2: Chase Field.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Greg, Hey say, I'm doing all right
Speaker 3: normally I'm blast half fool and I don't even want
Speaker 3: to talk about Edwin Diaz. He's getting back to right.
Speaker 9: You know, he's got to do what he's got to do,
Speaker 9: find his group.
Speaker 3: But two things I know you would call on her
Speaker 3: big box guys, at least you Rocky Colin has the
Speaker 3: boxing show. But the only way to knock a champ
Speaker 3: out is they have to make a mistake.
Speaker 9: And the Dodgers are making literally every mistake possible right now.
Speaker 3: More or less, they're like coming out to the center
Speaker 3: of the ring and leaving their hands at their waists
Speaker 3: and saying like they means and you can't even touch
Speaker 3: on the multiple I want to say circus ten errors
Speaker 3: in the outfield today where Tao miss readings, flyballs over
Speaker 3: his head, Andy Potts throwing the ball against the wall.
Speaker 10: On a you know, giving a guy an extra base.
Speaker 9: It just seems like they expect to win when they
Speaker 9: show up, and I think that's a good thing because
Speaker 9: in October we trying to have a swagger that just
Speaker 9: they turn it on, But right now it just looks
Speaker 9: like they don't there. And I'm speaking as a passionate fan,
Speaker 9: I understand that. And then the other thing I want
Speaker 9: to speak on is age. Freddie Freeman is like my
Speaker 9: hero in terms of baseball. He's the only guy that
Speaker 9: seems to go out there and give the most consistent
Speaker 9: effort game after game after game after game.
Speaker 3: Is there a guy in that locker room that you
Speaker 3: know that can kind of maybe just gat these guys
Speaker 3: around and call like, hey, like what's going on? Because
Speaker 3: it just seems like since the the Seattle series they've
Speaker 3: just kind of taken a long break.
Speaker 2: And I don't think it Isn't that why they signed
Speaker 2: or one of the reasons they signed Kyle Tucker. He
Speaker 2: was supposed to be the youthful guy that could pick
Speaker 2: these guys up that have played more games than any
Speaker 2: other group of players the last two years, and he
Speaker 2: just hasn't done that. And you're missing let's not forget,
Speaker 2: you're missing Will Smith and you're now missing Dalton Rushing.
Speaker 2: So that's a big hole in your lineup. So those
Speaker 2: are contributing factors. But I agree with you ta Oscar Hernandez.
Speaker 2: He was not He was not engaged tonight. He played
Speaker 2: one of the worst games I have seen him play
Speaker 2: in a Dodger uniform tonight for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: But hopefully that changes tomorrow.
Speaker 2: And look, like I said, these guys have the proven
Speaker 2: track records, so I'm not want to overreact. But at
Speaker 2: some point, like you said, you can't just show up
Speaker 2: and expect to win. You're going to have to find
Speaker 2: a way to bring the focus and energy to try
Speaker 2: to win that game.
Speaker 1: And we didn't see that tonight.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 9: And this reminds me of the Lakers when they run
Speaker 9: the three t years. Every game they had they had
Speaker 9: to slug it out right.
Speaker 3: They start slow, and then the second half of the
Speaker 3: game they come back and win. The difference is they
Speaker 3: had Shat Toby and generational guys that were in their prime.
Speaker 3: Dodgers have a lot of great talent, but you know
Speaker 3: a lot of these guys are old. They can't get
Speaker 3: up for every game, and it's a hundred and sixty
Speaker 3: two eighty two, So this is reminiscent of that, and
Speaker 3: I just hope they can turn it on, and I'm
Speaker 3: optimistic once Snell comes back, plast Snow gets back, maybe
Speaker 3: Olshani comes back. It's different, but Roki deserves better. Tonight
Speaker 3: he pitched the hell of the game and he kept
Speaker 3: us in the game. Honestly, our defense, Hey, the.
Speaker 2: Dodgers, the Dodger dudes of starting pitchers, they've done their job.
Speaker 2: The offense just has been lacking insistency and quite honestly,
Speaker 2: some unity. I mean, it feels like a very disconnected lineup.
Speaker 2: Nobody's moving the runners over, nobody's given up those team
Speaker 2: at bats, and that's that's contributing to the offense not
Speaker 2: doing their job. Great call, Greg, hang in there. I
Speaker 2: guarantee the Dodgers will win another game this year.
Speaker 3: I hope so too. Thanks man, take it easy, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Greg, Thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all those things are contributing to the
Speaker 2: Dodgers on the verge of losing eight in a row
Speaker 2: for the first time since twenty seventeen.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 2: Say they're old, because when they were up thirteen fourteen games,
Speaker 2: nobody was saying they were old. But I will say this,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of miles on them. Physically, mentally.
Speaker 2: The Dog Days of August get a lot of teams,
Speaker 2: but this one's a lot different. I feel like they're
Speaker 2: feeling the weight of the Dog Days of August more
Speaker 2: than any other team out there because of the miles
Speaker 2: they have on their bodies the last two years. And yeah,
Speaker 2: you got Mookie Bets at thirty three, tai Oscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: thirty three, Freddie Freeman's thirty six, going on thirty seven.
Speaker 2: So yeah, these guys are are a little bit older.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say they're old, but yeah, when
Speaker 2: it doesn't when it looks like it looked like tonight,
Speaker 2: you're going to say they looked old. But I'm not
Speaker 2: ready to concede that. And I feel like these guys.
Speaker 2: I don't think you want these guys playing their best
Speaker 2: in August. You want them playing their best in September.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Laguna Neguel. Ralph, you're on Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk Live from Chase Field.
Speaker 7: Hi, Ralph, Yes, sir, thank you, Please lead me you
Speaker 7: get this out. I know by the time I get
Speaker 7: it out, you'd probably say you're ridiculous. I've been a
Speaker 7: Dodger fan since thankteen fifty five, I see what I see,
Speaker 7: and this is my recommendations. When Bestco's moved to shortstop,
Speaker 7: it burned them out. In my opinion, Tucker and Tioscar
Speaker 7: Hernando should be platooned in left field. Bet you go
Speaker 7: to right field, remain there for the rest of the season.
Speaker 7: He'll have more peace out there. He should. He should
Speaker 7: be batting ninth permanently for the rest of the year
Speaker 7: in front of Tony. Maybe they can feed off of
Speaker 7: each other and the shortstop. The second should be hitting
Speaker 7: n I bet you should be batting ninth for the
Speaker 7: rest of the year. He's the worst sater on the team.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want him hitting ninth with the way he's
Speaker 2: swinging the bat this year, because you want kind of
Speaker 2: a pseudo second leadoff hitter to get on base and
Speaker 2: turn the lineup over. If he continues to struggle as
Speaker 2: we get closer to the postseason, if it looks like
Speaker 2: this more than the four hit game in Chicago two
Speaker 2: days ago, I think hitting eighth is definitely a realistic possibility.
Speaker 7: Well, well, he's BET's right handed, and he could bet
Speaker 7: it's a right handed bat.
Speaker 1: You don't. But the point is Ralph if you're saying
Speaker 1: I'm playing along.
Speaker 2: With Ralph, I'm agreeing with you. He has not had
Speaker 2: a good offensive season. You don't want a guy with
Speaker 2: an on base percentage of two ninety hitting ninth because
Speaker 2: they don't get on base, they don't turn the lineup over.
Speaker 1: What else you got for me before we move on?
Speaker 7: What about moving Vets back to right field and platooning
Speaker 7: Tucka and Siosta Anders.
Speaker 1: And that's not happening, Ralph.
Speaker 2: But I will agree with you, no matter how much
Speaker 2: anybody tells us, shortstop is not demanding. It is the
Speaker 2: most demanding position. So he's not going back to right field.
Speaker 2: He's playing really good shortstop, so you know he's contributing
Speaker 2: to the team in that way. So no, he's not
Speaker 2: going back to right field. Thank you for the phone call,
Speaker 2: appreciate it. That's just the reality of it. I mean
Speaker 2: people that call in and say Mookie should go back
Speaker 2: to right field the last two years, yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: there's an argument to be made last year more than
Speaker 2: this year, but it's not happening. He's playing really good
Speaker 2: defense at shortstop and at the very least that's what
Speaker 2: he's bringing to the table this year.
Speaker 1: Five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Dodgers fall to the Diamondbacks tonight, four to three.
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Sacramento. Tristan, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 11: How you doing, Tristan, Hey, good ba say Man, thank
Speaker 11: you for answering my phone call. Honestly, I just got
Speaker 11: off work. I'm I'm blown away by that game. I
Speaker 11: was watching the eighth inning. I saw Tanner Scott struggling.
Speaker 11: I thought after he made it through that eighth inning
Speaker 11: that the game would for sure be done, especially with
Speaker 11: Diez being backed. But Basay, I know you get this
Speaker 11: every night. I have the hardest time watching Kyle Hooker
Speaker 11: play with the Dodgers. My brother was an advocate for
Speaker 11: wanting to sign him. I just can't watch the guy anymore.
Speaker 11: I just can't do it. I feel like he needs
Speaker 11: a couple of days out, like days off, like maybe
Speaker 11: get Key k out in right field. I mean, and
Speaker 11: I know, I'm sorry, David. You hear this every night,
Speaker 11: but it's just getting harder and harder to watch Kyle
Speaker 11: Tucker and a Dodger uniform.
Speaker 2: Tristan, let me ask you a question. Last year, did
Speaker 2: Michael Confordo play every game? Virtually in left field all
Speaker 2: the way through the end of the regular season. Yes,
Speaker 2: I mean, so the Dodgers won the West with Michael
Speaker 2: confordo and left field. Do you really believe that they're
Speaker 2: going to make a change or bench Kyle Tucker. He's
Speaker 2: gonna be out there until the end of the regular season,
Speaker 2: and I just feel like the Dodgers are kind of
Speaker 2: need him to be better than what he has been.
Speaker 2: And look, they have so many great outfielders in the
Speaker 2: minor leagues. Why wouldn't they consider calling one of those
Speaker 2: guys up to take some of those at bats if
Speaker 2: it keeps going this way, and you know, maybe see
Speaker 2: if one of these young kids can spark them down
Speaker 2: the stretch and maybe even consider them for a postseason
Speaker 2: Russ spot.
Speaker 1: I would like to see it.
Speaker 2: And for those that say josuay To Paula's defense is
Speaker 2: not good, well, are we seeing really good defense in
Speaker 2: the corners this year? I'm not seeing it from Tucker
Speaker 2: and we're certainly not seeing it from Taoscar Hernandez. So
Speaker 2: why not call him up and see if his back
Speaker 2: can play better than either one of those two this year?
Speaker 2: I mean, Taylor, I have backed ta Oscar Hernandez and
Speaker 2: I still believe he's gonna play a big part in
Speaker 2: the Dodgers October. But it's been a very average season
Speaker 2: at best for Taoscar Hernandez.
Speaker 11: Hey, I totally agree with you guys, say, I think
Speaker 11: ta Oscar is somebody that people overlook completely. I think
Speaker 11: he's somebody that has made a tremendous difference for the Dodgers.
Speaker 11: And I agree. I think Kyle Tucker somebody you know
Speaker 11: we're gonna want to play, but you know, maybe just
Speaker 11: giving the guy a couple of nights off and just
Speaker 11: having a kik or like you're even saying de Paula,
Speaker 11: just bring him up obviously, maybe next month or something
Speaker 11: when the roster expands. But I just it's just getting
Speaker 11: hard to watch sometimes. And I know it's a long season.
Speaker 11: I know there's a lot of pressure when you come
Speaker 11: to LA, but just getting difficult. And then the one
Speaker 11: other question I had for you by say, and I know,
Speaker 11: I'm sorry I'm picking up a lot of your time,
Speaker 11: but Otani going to see the guy?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 12: Good?
Speaker 11: Are we ever gonna see the guy pitch again?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 11: I mean, what what is the inside scoop? Like I
Speaker 11: get he's got the knee problems, but he's he's making
Speaker 11: all these crazy runs on the bases. I say, like,
Speaker 11: what are we gonna see him pitch again this year
Speaker 11: or not?
Speaker 12: I just.
Speaker 1: Kind of running out.
Speaker 2: Time is kind of running out on Otani pitching because
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him play catch.
Speaker 1: We haven't.
Speaker 2: Number one, you gotta play catch before you start even
Speaker 2: considering a bullpen session.
Speaker 1: So uh, I feel like if.
Speaker 2: He does pitch in September, it's going to be a
Speaker 2: rehab assignment on the major league level, like what we
Speaker 2: saw last year, where he starts out throwing one inning
Speaker 2: and then the next time too, and so on. But
Speaker 2: time's running out to be built up for five or
Speaker 2: six innings, So you know, I don't know if that
Speaker 2: serves a purpose other than being able to at least
Speaker 2: pitch two or three innings to start a game and
Speaker 2: get you know what, nine outs, maybe twelve outs. I
Speaker 2: would be up for that in a postseason game if
Speaker 2: he can give the Dodgers that.
Speaker 1: But I think the days of.
Speaker 2: Him going six innings this season they're dwindling. If he
Speaker 2: doesn't get off the mound here in the next week
Speaker 2: or so.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I think I totally agree. I think, honestly,
Speaker 11: even if we could get him, like you're saying, for
Speaker 11: two or three innings to start a game, I think
Speaker 11: any team would take that. I mean, the guy's stuff
Speaker 11: is great. I just it's just getting interesting to see
Speaker 11: because I know, like you're saying, he's not playing catch,
Speaker 11: they haven't really talked about it too much, and then
Speaker 11: he's kind of running crazy.
Speaker 1: On the basis.
Speaker 11: So just like kind of a big question mark in
Speaker 11: my mind. I know we got scooball now, but I
Speaker 11: feel like Otani is a very crucial guy that we
Speaker 11: could be having pitched. So it'd be interesting to see, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Tristan, thanks for the phone call, A good phone call.
Speaker 2: We've had a couple of good ones here, which I
Speaker 2: would say is a big win streak for me, even
Speaker 2: though the Dodgers have lost seven in a row. But look, uh,
Speaker 2: I we just need Otani to be Otani at the plate.
Speaker 2: That's first and foremost, especially while he's not pitching. That's
Speaker 2: the guy the Dodgers need, the guy we saw in Chicago.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 2: You don't need two home runs every night, but you
Speaker 2: need quality at bats, you need timely hitting, and you
Speaker 2: need a guy using the bigger part of the field. Uh,
Speaker 2: if they get that back, then the offense is going
Speaker 2: to be in a better spot than what it has been.
Speaker 2: But uh, the Dodgers certainly need production from guys like
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and Mookie Bets and quite honestly, Max Munsey's
Speaker 2: been in a little bit of a slump as well.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys in the slump right now.
Speaker 2: Next month season of slump, Mookie Bets, Kyle Tucker, Ti,
Speaker 2: Oscar hernandez h We're talking about half the lineup here
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers count on. But it's not gonna last forever.
Speaker 2: In the case of Tucker and Mooki, the Dodgers are
Speaker 2: waiting for them to come come out of uh what
Speaker 2: has been a subpar season for both those guys at
Speaker 2: the plate. Eight six six, two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. We're going to take a time out when
Speaker 2: we continue more of your phone calls, and we'll also
Speaker 2: hear from Edwin Diaz who surrendered a walk off to
Speaker 2: run a home run to what's his name? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: Ryan Waldschmidt, the number nine hitter for Arizona, walks it
Speaker 2: off against the Dodgers four to three on a five
Speaker 2: to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 12: Dodgers fans, this is Mookie Betts.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the home of the back to back
Speaker 3: world champion Dodgers on a five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 4: And facing going to see and Andy swings.
Speaker 1: It's a high drive. Dave Plt failed.
Speaker 2: Way backing down the home run for Pies on the
Speaker 2: first pitch of the eighth and the Dodgers take their
Speaker 2: first lead of.
Speaker 1: The ball game.
Speaker 2: It is three to two on a towering shot by Piz.
Speaker 1: Home run number nineteen.
Speaker 2: Andy Piz gave the Dodgers something a smile about in
Speaker 2: the eighth inning. Unfortunately, it was short lived, as Edwin
Speaker 2: Diaz gives up a walk off two run home run
Speaker 2: to Ryan Waltschmidt and the Dodgers fall to Arizona Tonight
Speaker 2: by a final score of four to three. Daniels Jewelers

Speaker 1: We have one line open.
Speaker 2: I know Dodger fans are concerned over this seven game
Speaker 2: losing streak, and look, it hasn't been pretty, but I
Speaker 2: will say this to put it into context. How the
Speaker 2: Dodgers got here with this seven game losing streak.
Speaker 1: Number one, they have.
Speaker 2: Played two of the hottest teams in baseball, the Boston
Speaker 2: Red Sox, who continue to roll on they won again tonight,
Speaker 2: and also the Chicago Cups, who are now just four
Speaker 2: and a half games back of the Brewers in the
Speaker 2: n NOW Central. Go back to that Red Sox series,
Speaker 2: they had a bullpen game on Friday night, Yamamoto pitched
Speaker 2: eight innings, got no run support, and then on that
Speaker 2: Sunday game Sunday Night Baseball, Emma Chian, who has had
Speaker 2: a disappointing year and was sent down after that game, pitch.
Speaker 1: For the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: So they really didn't have their quote guys pitching in
Speaker 2: that series, and that kind of hurt them.
Speaker 1: And then you look at the CUB series.
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski struggled, gave up four home runs. School Bowl
Speaker 2: was very unlucky to give up two earned runs and
Speaker 2: the Dodger offense non existent, and then that final game
Speaker 2: of the series, the Dodger offense didn't come to life
Speaker 2: until it was too late and they lost to the
Speaker 2: Cubs seven to six. Look, you're not gonna win many
Speaker 2: games giving up seven runs.
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers pitching, there's a.
Speaker 2: Little bit more to the story than what the record shows.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's reasons why they're losing. And like I mentioned,
Speaker 2: poor defense, poor base running, poor at back quality tonight
Speaker 2: maybe the worst I've seen during this seven game losing streak.
Speaker 2: So those are the reasons why we are where we are.
Speaker 2: Not to mention, the Dodger bullpen has not been very good.
Speaker 2: Alex Vesia has labored. You know, Will kleinb when he
Speaker 2: was active, was laboring Tanner Scott hasn't looked the way
Speaker 2: he has looked all season long, and of course Edwin
Speaker 2: Diaz just hasn't been Edwin Diaz before the surgery or
Speaker 2: after the surgery. Edwin Diaz spoke to the media on
Speaker 2: sports net LA after giving up the walk off to
Speaker 2: run home run to Arizona's number nine hitter, Ryan walt Schmidt.
Speaker 13: I think the slider, I think fastball was great today.
Speaker 13: I just you know, I missed the slider right in
Speaker 13: the middle and payoff. So I gotta, you know, find
Speaker 13: a way to throw my side better as I feel
Speaker 13: better patios and if I do, that would be better.
Speaker 6: Is it just the feel of that pitch that you
Speaker 6: think is missing. Are you feeling it in the bullpens
Speaker 6: or you just think in general that's the pitch you're
Speaker 6: still working on.
Speaker 13: I think I'm just trying to be perfect with that patient.
Speaker 13: I'm just missing randomadal. You know, I gotta be better
Speaker 13: of that. You know, I'm a big ley pitcher, so
Speaker 13: I gotta make patience. So next time when I come
Speaker 13: to the game, I gotta do better rush obviously, so
Speaker 13: working off some cally off surgery, is that something that
Speaker 13: slider shape maybe comes a little bit later for you
Speaker 13: you know, I think for everything, but by being done,
Speaker 13: it's been good, you know, But when I get to
Speaker 13: the game, I don't know why I'm missing my slider
Speaker 13: right in the middle.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 13: I think, like I said, my fab today was great.
Speaker 13: You know, I just made one mistake on payoff. So
Speaker 13: next time, like I said, when I came to that ding,
Speaker 13: I just got to make my pitch it better and
Speaker 13: have this thing to win or a delivery or where
Speaker 13: are you n I think my delivery was better today
Speaker 13: than than normal. I was missing up.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 13: My last start was my fellow was side to side.
Speaker 13: Today was better. Just you know, try to figure it
Speaker 13: out on you know, I trust my cashers, you know, on,
Speaker 13: throw my teammates, I throw everyone in the pitching coaches on.
Speaker 13: But we figured it out. And see what what's going on?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: There's Edwin Diaz on sports Net LA and look, it's
Speaker 2: really hard to try to figure things out with the
Speaker 2: game on the line in the ninth inning. And that's why,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm starting to lean towards Jose Motives side
Speaker 2: of things that maybe Edwin Diaz needs to figure these
Speaker 2: things out in the seventh inning, maybe not necessarily the
Speaker 2: ninth inning. But Dave Roberts was pretty candid with his
Speaker 2: answer that he doesn't really have anybody else he wants
Speaker 2: throwing the ninth inning at this point in time. Eight
Speaker 2: sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. Dodgers lose to the Diamondbacks four to three tonight.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Eagle Rock. Michael you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: How you doing, Michael?
Speaker 8: Hey, dB, He's doing okay. I had to call in
Speaker 8: and talk to the Snell Villa whisperer. What can you
Speaker 8: what you're feeling on?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 8: With Snell coming back on Tuesday, is he gonna be
Speaker 8: as dominant for us as he was last year?
Speaker 9: Going forward?
Speaker 1: I think he will be.
Speaker 2: Michael, And I'm not just saying that because I am
Speaker 2: the Snell Zilla Whisperer, no doubt about it. But uh,
Speaker 2: he said that his arm feels better than it has
Speaker 2: in three years.
Speaker 1: You know, the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: He would get numbness in his fingers and that was
Speaker 2: due to the bone chips in his left elbow, and
Speaker 2: now he can feel his fingers. He said, his range
Speaker 2: of motion is better than where it has been in
Speaker 2: two years to be able to execute his curveball.
Speaker 1: So so I really do.
Speaker 2: Trust that he is going to pitch as well as
Speaker 2: he did for the Dodgers down the stretch and in October.
Speaker 2: But I will say this, Michael, he needs to build
Speaker 2: equity back up with you and the rest of the
Speaker 2: fan base because he has made more rehab starts than
Speaker 2: he has major League starts with the Dodgers, and he
Speaker 2: just needs to build that equity with this fan base
Speaker 2: because I know you don't care about what he did
Speaker 2: in Tampa. I know you don't care about what he
Speaker 2: did in San Diego. You care about what he did
Speaker 2: in the postseason last year. And that's what matters in
Speaker 2: the here and now. And the Dodgers need him, that's
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 12: Yeah, he can.
Speaker 8: He can take all the time he wants if he
Speaker 8: pitched his like he did last October again, and I
Speaker 8: think we just got to get one of these first
Speaker 8: round buys and it's gonna be tough to beat him.
Speaker 8: Scoogle and Yamamoto and hopefully glass Awan O'tani in a
Speaker 8: in a series. So that's all I had.
Speaker 9: DV.
Speaker 1: Thanks for your time, No, thank you.
Speaker 2: Eight six six eight seven two five seventy. Let's go
Speaker 2: out to Calabasas.
Speaker 1: Michael. You're on Dodger Talk. How you do on Michael.
Speaker 10: Doing well?
Speaker 2: Doing well?
Speaker 10: Got one question? The Dodgers were like middle of pack
Speaker 10: last year hitting into double plays. This year it seems
Speaker 10: like it's just though they're leading the league easily in
Speaker 10: that and.
Speaker 2: Ninety seven rounded into double plays this year. Michael you
Speaker 2: know your baseball ninety seven and the Dodgers have the
Speaker 2: fewest stolen bases in baseball forty four. So I'll I'll
Speaker 2: just jump you right here and say, yes, I want
Speaker 2: to see the Dodgers put more runners in put emotion
Speaker 2: to avoid those double plays, especially when you have Mookie
Speaker 2: Beds at the plate, who has grounded into the second
Speaker 2: most double plays on the team. I think if Freddy
Speaker 2: Freeman's on base, you got to put him in motion
Speaker 2: because Mookie's swinging and he's hitting the ball on the
Speaker 2: ground a lot this year.
Speaker 10: Yeah, even show Hayes ground ball rates up this year,
Speaker 10: and it just seems like we're swinging a little bit
Speaker 10: over it and I'm just watching small Pete Rose things
Speaker 10: like step one, step up in the plate, get a
Speaker 10: little bit under it, Like these are just killing us
Speaker 10: at the wrong time. Just it's just very noticeable to share.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the big double play that I'm thinking about it,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you are as well. Otani coming up
Speaker 2: in the seventh inning with the bases loaded and he
Speaker 2: grounds into a four to six to three double play
Speaker 2: to end the inning. Uh, that's the one that sticks
Speaker 2: out to me tonight.
Speaker 10: Yeah, No, it's it's always the second base like you
Speaker 10: just sear it at this point, blow ground, all right, Michael, Yeah,
Speaker 10: I don't know what they can really just love to
Speaker 10: get him to hit the ball in the air more.
Speaker 10: I don't know what that looks like.
Speaker 1: They would love to hit the ball in the air more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of that is though, Michael.
Speaker 2: You gotta you gotta see who is the guys that
Speaker 2: have been hitting the ball on the ground the most.
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying you have to have Ricky Henderson
Speaker 2: on bass to put guys in motion. Freddy Freeman's not
Speaker 2: the smart of the fastest guy, but he's the smartest guy.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm I'm a big advocate to put guys
Speaker 2: in motion when you've grounded into that many double plays.
Speaker 2: Eight six, six, two, five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Joe in La. You're on Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk Live from Chase Field.
Speaker 11: How you doing, Joe, I'm doing good.
Speaker 14: Dave listen, I played four years. I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 14: we all go through this. Any team that's played professional
Speaker 14: baseball goes through this, as Dodgers went through it last year.
Speaker 14: They're going to it now. It's better they're going through
Speaker 14: it now than at the end of the season because
Speaker 14: they would have no shot in the playoffs. I can
Speaker 14: tell you there's one big key missing part to this,
Speaker 14: and that's Will Smith. When you have pictures out there
Speaker 14: that are experienced pitchers and they're throwing the catchers that
Speaker 14: are either you know, rookies, young second play second of players,
Speaker 14: some new new catcher. Now we got other produccio you have.
Speaker 14: Of course they see each other in spring training, but
Speaker 14: it's it's not the same. And Will Smith is the
Speaker 14: glue that really keeps the Dodger team together. Now this
Speaker 14: is a team, mind you, that is a slug team.
Speaker 14: They don't play small ball, so there they're low ball,
Speaker 14: you know, extra base hits. They're starting pitching and the
Speaker 14: relief pitching that's been their secret.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's their identity, and that's their identity. If they
Speaker 2: out home, are you there's a good chance they're going
Speaker 2: to win the game. A great example of that, Joe
Speaker 2: was Game seven of last year's World Series. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: scored all their runs on home runs to beat the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. Plus they did the little things right with pitching, defense,
Speaker 2: base running, but Yeah, that's the identity of their offense
Speaker 2: as far as you know, getting on base and hitting
Speaker 2: two three run home runs.
Speaker 14: Well, the other part of it is, you know, Dave
Speaker 14: Roberts has been lucky in seven years. And not to
Speaker 14: say he's not a good manager. Managers managed personalities very
Speaker 14: much as much as they manage the game. But he's
Speaker 14: not a game in game manager. That's where Garren and
Speaker 14: and Lehman come in. The fact is that what I watched,
Speaker 14: you know, watch it mostly every day, and you can
Speaker 14: see that there's they don't play the game like Princess
Speaker 14: A Bower's team. That manager who.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's apples and oranges to me because he's managing
Speaker 2: young players and he could get away with that type
Speaker 2: of managing style. I'm not sure he could get away
Speaker 2: with it managing veterans like the Dodgers have. I think
Speaker 2: Dave's done a good job with the group of players
Speaker 2: he has. But yeah, I mean, Pat Murphy is probably
Speaker 2: as close as they get to Mike's Sooshia. When it
Speaker 2: comes to that type of style, you got to demand
Speaker 2: everybody give you a professional run to first base. You
Speaker 2: gotta demand a certain level of professionalism, and quite honestly,
Speaker 2: the Dodger players hold each other accountable, so uh, they
Speaker 2: do good job of policing themselves.
Speaker 14: The last question, Dave is you know, of course I
Speaker 14: agree with you on what you just said. The Dodgers
Speaker 14: are not those players. They're older, they're more experienced. They're
Speaker 14: over thirty, the older seam in baseball actually, and they
Speaker 14: have there.
Speaker 2: Let's not forget a lot of these guys are three
Speaker 2: time World Series champions, two time World Series winning champions.
Speaker 2: So I think every I think Dodger fans don't give
Speaker 2: these guys enough credit for being champions. And there's a
Speaker 2: different level of being a back to back champion than
Speaker 2: there is to just be another team.
Speaker 1: So let's just keep that in mind too.
Speaker 14: Joe, you're right, and let me tell you, like I
Speaker 14: said in the beginning, it's good that they're going to
Speaker 14: this now because they'll get out of it. They will
Speaker 14: get out of this, and they will. Right now, you
Speaker 14: could feel it. They're not in sync. I'm not a
Speaker 14: fan of pie Has in the second slot. I think
Speaker 14: we should move Mulkie back there. I think you should
Speaker 14: go back to the way it was last year, the
Speaker 14: way it was of the year before. You can't juggle.
Speaker 1: Disagree with you. I disagree with you.
Speaker 2: Mookie Betts is not the same hitter he was two
Speaker 2: years ago, and he's not the same hitter that he.
Speaker 1: Was even last year. For whatever reason he's not.
Speaker 2: I would if you told me, let's uh, let's change
Speaker 2: in the number two spot. I'm putting Tommy Edmund hitting
Speaker 2: second behind uh Otani. That's the guy I would want
Speaker 2: hitting second if it's not Pajz And when Will Smith
Speaker 2: comes back, maybe it'll be him. I gotta run, Joe.
Speaker 2: That's enough complaints out out of you for tonight. Eight six, six, nine, seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks tonight four to three. I really don't want
Speaker 2: to take this guy, but I will to make Rick
Speaker 2: Monday happy so he has some fodder for tomorrow night's broadcast.
Speaker 2: Guess who's calling in after seven losses in a row.
Speaker 2: If it isn't Mick Scrooge himself, Ken from Newport Beach,
Speaker 2: How you doing Ken.
Speaker 12: Right now?
Speaker 1: Well? I mean you are you are.
Speaker 2: The Scrooge of baseball. I mean that's who you are.
Speaker 2: You only call after losses, and I feel like you are,
Speaker 2: really you are really in your Ken in Newport Beach
Speaker 2: identity after a seven game losing streak, So go, hey, Ken,
Speaker 2: what do you got? And I hope you can promise
Speaker 2: to call when the losing streak ends.
Speaker 12: Dodgers are one of nine and last ten. That's the
Speaker 12: worst record in the major leagues. Obviously, as you pointed
Speaker 12: out their last and the major leagues in the soul
Speaker 12: them bases last. I'm not sure Old Tommy knows that
Speaker 12: maybe he doesn't need to be doing that with a
Speaker 12: bad leg. I'm surprised at Edmund because that's just not
Speaker 12: like him. Some of the problems that I had is
Speaker 12: Layden games. You've got a grand aside a left field
Speaker 12: that followers fu. You should have caught. You don't want
Speaker 12: him there in the eighth And the biggest problem I
Speaker 12: had is some of the decisions that were made in
Speaker 12: the eighth inning. Dave walks what would have been the
Speaker 12: winning run? Why would you walk what would have been
Speaker 12: the winning run? Now the basis were loaded later. Never
Speaker 12: should have happened because you shouldn't have walked that guy.
Speaker 12: That didn't make any sense. The biggest thing that didn't
Speaker 12: make any sense is you got a guy that now
Speaker 12: has in the era of thirteen. He used to be
Speaker 12: really good, but he's not yet. Why would you bring
Speaker 12: him in the ninth inning? Let him show that he's
Speaker 12: not going to give up five runs in a two
Speaker 12: and a half innings. That was a major mistake, and
Speaker 12: the moment he did that, I was yelling and going, ough,
Speaker 12: this is the true.
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 12: Not yet, he's not ready. We don't know when somebody's
Speaker 12: coming off an injury. I know in basketball, I came
Speaker 12: up some injuries. I used to be able to shoot,
Speaker 12: and all of a sudden I couldn't. It might take
Speaker 12: a longer time than that. That wasn't the time to
Speaker 12: do it in my life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, That's why I'm starting to lean on. That's why
Speaker 2: I'm starting to lean that he's not getting the job done.
Speaker 2: He's been talking about not having a feel for his
Speaker 2: sliders since his rehab appearances.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't be.
Speaker 2: Pitching in the ninth inning, especially when you're trying to
Speaker 2: get wins. Now you've lost seven in a row, so
Speaker 2: I think everybody's kind of exhausted with the Hey, we're
Speaker 2: just gonna work back Evan Phillips and Edwin Diaz and
Speaker 2: the wins and losses don't matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah they do.
Speaker 2: Actually, they are starting to matter more than they did
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. So I'm with you on that one, Ken.
Speaker 2: But as far as intentionally walking to tell Marte maybe
Speaker 2: the most dangerous hitter in their lineup and Tanner Scott
Speaker 2: the matchups, I don't have an issue with that. What
Speaker 2: I do have an issue with is throwing as many
Speaker 2: sliders that Ben Roertfitt was calling to Nolan Arenado.
Speaker 1: I mean the sliders.
Speaker 2: I mean, when you have ninety seven if you can
Speaker 2: command ended up and in on Nolan Aeronado, He's not
Speaker 2: catching it. He's not He's not going to do much
Speaker 2: with it. And yeah, I just didn't like the sequencing. Hey, Ken,
Speaker 2: I like you a lot, but this trend of you
Speaker 2: calling after losses has got to stop.
Speaker 12: Okay, let me explain real quick. I'll give you ten
Speaker 12: seconds of it. Every A lot of people can call
Speaker 12: when they're winning. It's a lot easier. I pay attention.
Speaker 12: I watched every game I.
Speaker 1: Call in after a win. They went back to back championships.
Speaker 1: They're pretty good.
Speaker 12: Ye, well, I agree, but there are also are things
Speaker 12: that need to be brought up and maybe people need
Speaker 12: to listen to them. That's all I'm doing. I'm not
Speaker 12: doing this. Yeah, that's fine, there's a meaning.
Speaker 2: Man. I'm sure Dave Roberts will take all the notes
Speaker 2: that you sent today.
Speaker 12: Oh, I'm sure he will, all right, Ken, thank.
Speaker 2: You for the phone call and speaking of just like
Speaker 2: positioning and all that I would have had on that
Speaker 2: double by Gabrielle Moreno, I would have had Taoscar her
Speaker 2: and is playing no doubles defense, so it doesn't get
Speaker 2: over his head when you know you got a limited
Speaker 2: defender out there. So that was the only one that
Speaker 2: I would say. But like I said earlier, Taoscar Hernandez
Speaker 2: may have played the worst game in a Dodger uniform
Speaker 2: that I can recall in a long time. And I'm
Speaker 2: the biggest Taskar Hernandez fan out there. Let's take another
Speaker 2: phone call, Eddie and Palm Springs. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Walk us off tonight, Eddie before this concert.
Speaker 4: Ends, whatever they do. Well, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 4: First of all, we got a lot of points from
Speaker 4: the Dodger fans tonight. I was well impressive tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought tonight was a solid show of phone calls.
Speaker 1: Don't let me down, Eddie. You can't judge other people
Speaker 1: until you deliver right now.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what I called in because you took
Speaker 4: the words right out of my mouth and saying that,
Speaker 4: pointing out that should be the second somebody, that should
Speaker 4: be the second guy hitting behind Otani. I think he's
Speaker 4: up there with the best of the hitters right now,
Speaker 4: is Edmund? I mean creaman and and Otani. And then
Speaker 4: I'm a.
Speaker 1: Big Tommy Edmund fan.
Speaker 2: I was sitting next to that bomb Dylan Hernandez and uh,
Speaker 2: He's like, man, he's pretty good. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's really good, and he's my favorite player to watch.
Speaker 1: Hey, Eddie, I got a run. Thank you for the phone.
Speaker 2: Call, and I'm sure all the callers appreciate your validation tonight.
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, all right, thank.
Speaker 1: You, Eddie.
