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

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:11.399
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.560

<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers hold on and beat the Yankees tonight by

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 2>a final score of two to one. Welcome the Dodger

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Talk David Vase with you until eight thirty tonight back

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.879
<v Speaker 2>in La eleven thirty here at Yankee Stadium after an

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 2>exciting opener to this three game series. The Dodgers being

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>back at Yankee Stadium for the first time since closing

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>them out in the World Series back in twenty twenty four,

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>So a lot of great memories here. Garret Cole was

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>on the mound that night Game five, and Garrett Cole

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 2>was on the mound tonight and things went sideways on

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Cole in the fifth inning of Game five in the

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty four World Series, and things went sideways on Garrett

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Cole tonight in the seventh inning after he walked Mookie

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Betts to lead off the seventh inning, and Aaron Boone

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>goes out there to talk to Garrett Cole. I mean,

0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I understand Cole is the ace, and it's I hate

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>saying it's his game because it's not his game.

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 4>It's the team's game.

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 5>There.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 4>If you walk.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts to lead off the seventh inning, I would

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>find it hard to leave him in the game, especially

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 2>since we are in July. He's only made ten starts

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>since missing almost five hundred and seventy days between starts

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>coming back from Tommy John surgery. So again, thank you

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Boone for leaving Garret Cole in there. You know,

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I understand that you're on the mound, and Dave Roberts

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>says done that in big games, but he has a

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>method and a process in the regular season, and I

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>just was surprised that they left Garret Cole in that game.

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>So Max Munsey made Aaron Boone pay for that decision.

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>He made Garret Cole pay for extending that at bat.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>He was able to hang in there for six pitches,

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.600
<v Speaker 2>and then on the seventh pitch, Garret Cole threw him

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>a slider, a flat slider, and quite frankly, the slider

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>was Garret Cole's worst pitch tonight, and he threw it

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>and Munsey did not miss it four hundred and sixteen

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 2>feet in the second deck upper deck here at Yankee Stadium,

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers had a two to one lead after

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>a fantastic game by Garret Cole, and he was dominant.

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers had no real answer for Garrett Cole well tonight.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>He went six plus innings, he allowed four hits, and

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>he gave up that go ahead two run home run

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.079
<v Speaker 2>in the seventh inning. So certainly a fun night here

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>at Yankee Stadium. It was fun to be back here,

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I think for all of us, Rick Monday and Steven Nelson, myself,

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Dwayne McDonald and others.

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 4>A lot of memories came back.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Being here for the first time since Game five of

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the twenty four World Series. You know where I stood

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 2>tonight waiting to get on the field for the final out.

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>That's where I was standing when I was standing next

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>to Buster only cramped in that camera. Well, when Walker

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Buehler came in out of that bullpen and strutted his

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>way to closing out the Yankees and giving us that

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>famous pose that.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Will live forever.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 2>A lot of places here that you walk through, you

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>remember where you were during the World Series, And certainly

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 2>it was a great time because that was the first

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>championship the Dodgers had won in a full season since

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty eight and got to experience the champagne shower

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>because they did not get to experience that in twenty twenty.

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 2>And I never experienced the Dodgers winning the World Series

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>front row and center like that, covering the team.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 3>I was.

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I was Me and Alana Rizzo were the only two

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Dodger broadcasters, along with Joe Davis for Fox, that were

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>in Texas for the entire run Globely Field, so I

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 2>was there. I would talk to guys over zoom, I

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>would talk to them over a headset in the clubhouse.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 4>But that was the extent of it.

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So twenty four was the first time to experience the

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers winning the World Series with them. To bring you

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>a World Series winning celebration on Sports Net LA and

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 2>right here on AM five to seventy, LA sports, So

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>all those things came flooding back. But tonight was about

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey continuing to be that guy who has been

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>one of the more clutch players in baseball since he

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.119
<v Speaker 2>got called up in twenty eighteen. And tonight was about

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger defense, which was the difference in them winning

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>the World Series last year, and it was the difference

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 2>again tonight, and it was in twenty four beating the Yankees.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 2>And say whatever you want about the way Andy Pie

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 2>has threw that.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 4>Ball back to the infield.

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>He was just trying to get it back into the infield,

0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 2>back to the cutoff man as quickly as he could,

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 2>and Mookie Betts made a Jeter esque type of instinctual play,

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and Dalton Rushing made an incredible tag because the throw

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>across Mookie's body took Rushing up the first base line.

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>The throw was on the first base side and he

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>was able to reach back and tag out Trent Grisham,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>which was representing the tying run, and mister Momentum had

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 2>pinstripes on at that point in time, if Trent Grisham

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 2>is safe. So just a tremendous night from Muncie from

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger defense from Rushing who caught Roki Sasaki. Sasaki

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>was maybe the best we have seen him consistently from

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 2>inning one until the time Dave Roberts took him out

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 2>when the gas tank was getting low. Great proactive managing

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 2>by Dave Roberts taking him out with two outs in

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inning when he saw, you know, the gas

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 2>tank blinking empty, and he brought in Jack Dryer, who

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>got the job done. And Jack Dryer has started to

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>look like Jack Dryer from a year ago. His last

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 2>three outings, and Sasaki was throwing more pitches over the

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>century mark tonight vlo wise than he ever has in

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>any of his major league starts. He threw it, threw

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>one hundred miles an hour or more seventeen different times tonight,

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 2>and through the hardest pitch of his major league career

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 2>on the first pitch to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning,

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and one point eight.

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:11.559
<v Speaker 4>Miles an hour.

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Those are things that get flashed up here at the

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Yankee Stadium video board that you can't miss. So this

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>was this was a different Roki Sasaki than what we

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>have seen. And Dalton Rushing said, you know what he

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 2>had his good stuff. Maybe it was the big stage

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>here at Yankee Stadium. Whatever it was, the focus was

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 2>there from Roki Sasaki tonight eight nine eighty seven two

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the Yankees

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>tonight two to one. If you were here in the Bronx,

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 2>would love to hear from you. Eight six six nine

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy. I can't believe we don't

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>have a full board of calls tonight. This was such

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>an exciting game. How can you not be pumped up

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>after a game like tonight?

0:07:58.920 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Where are you?

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Nine eight seven two five seventy. I know where Darryl is.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>He's in Palmdale. Lead us off tonight, Daryl, you're on

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 4>What a game?

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 5>What a game?

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 6>I loved it. The Dodgers did exactly what they were

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 6>supposed to do a veteran team, don't press the issue,

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 6>laid back and let them make a mistake. And the

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 6>leadoff walk was the mistakes. I don't I don't know

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 6>why they looked into the game, but hey, we'll take you.

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 6>And that's what the Dodgers did. They played like professionals

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 6>today and they that's what they need to do play

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 6>like professionals, eliminate the leadoff walk because the leadoff walk

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 6>kill les. I mean, they killed us in the last game,

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 6>but tonight we overcame and when they we got that

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 6>leadoff walk, I knew it was something happened.

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>But like I said, Daryl, it it's twenty twenty six,

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 2>it's not nineteen eighty five. When you give up a

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 2>leadoff walk in the seventh inning and a guy coming

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 2>off Tommy John surgery, you gotta take him out of

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the game. I thought Aaron Boone made a critical mistake there,

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.760
<v Speaker 2>even if Cole is able to get Muncie out, but

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 2>you could feel things starting to turn the Dodgers way

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>after he walked Mookie. I thought it was a poor

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 2>decision by Aaron Boone.

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 6>You know the fish wall, right, Yeah, And you.

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Know what that was him leaving Garrett Cole in there.

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.120
<v Speaker 2>That was a manager that wanted his player to like

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 2>him instead of him being the manager.

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, he did it. I'll say, cool, we got it,

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 6>we got it.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>But hey, Deck, all right, Darryl, thank you for the

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 2>phone call. Appreciate it. Eight sixty six ninety seven two

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. Let's go out to Malibu. Bob, you're on

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. How you doing, Bob?

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm doing good, Dave. What a great game.

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 8>That was a great way to start this series.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 7>Man, So thanks for having me on to celebrate with

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 7>you guys. And first let me just give a shout

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 7>out to Colin the edit. To Colin put together the

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 7>first season highlights, Man, well done. Really enjoyed that last night,

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 7>Dave on Dodger Talk. Nice work.

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Hey there we go. You were listening to off night

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Dodger Talk, Bob.

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 7>I love that absolutely, Man, I listen every night when

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 7>you're on, Man, Dave. Question for you tonight we're talking

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 7>about memories of the twenty four series. One of the

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.440
<v Speaker 7>more sour memories, especially for MOOKI, was those two clowns

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 7>who grabbed his gloves. My question was, were those guys

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.079
<v Speaker 7>spotted in the crowd at all tonight or anywhere near

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 7>the stadium. Are those guys allowed to be back at

0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 7>these games?

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 4>They are not. They are banned permanently from Yankee stadium.

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 7>Ah, good to hear. I'm glad the Yankees upheld that.

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 6>Man.

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 7>That's the right thing to do for those guys.

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know what, it's funny.

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to Mookie Bed, who came out with

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>his own baseball glove company, and I said, hey, speaking

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.320
<v Speaker 2>of gloves, when you came back on the field here

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 2>for early work, did you look down the right field line?

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>And he said, as only Mookie would, I didn't even

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 2>think about that until you brought it up. I was like, what,

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>how could you not think about that? So that's just

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Mookie being in the moment.

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 9>Wow.

0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, it was an exciting game, Dodgers played. Well, look

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 7>forward to the rest of this series. And again, well Jobbed,

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 7>well done job Colin, nice work man. You guys have

0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 7>a great time in New York. Dave, thanks for the call.

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 4>All right, Bob, thank you for the phone call.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll play that montage tomorrow night after the game

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>where maybe during a rain delay Dodger talk because rain

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:29.000
<v Speaker 2>is in the forecast for tomorrow here in New York.

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 4>And I.

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Checked in with the grounds crew and they said they

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 2>think the rain's going to end around seven o'clock Eastern time,

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>four o'clock Pacific, so we may be in the clear,

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>but hey, you never know, we might have to play

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>that beautiful montage and that music was our guy Brad Paisley,

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 2>loyal Dodger Talk listener, big time Dodger fan who I

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 2>met up with last night in the city.

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 4>How about that? Can you believe? Brad Paisley invited.

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Me to his condo here in New York and then

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 2>he took me to the gastropub that he watched Game

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 2>four of the NLCS Otani's big game.

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 4>He said, I need to take you there. There's a

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 4>great spot.

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 2>This is where I watched O'tani's three home runs ten

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>strikeout game.

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he is that big of a fan.

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>And I have no idea why this guy wants to

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 2>hang out with me, but we did. We had a

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>great time, and I appreciate Brad Paisley's kindness. See and

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 2>today he was on the Today Show last night hanging

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 2>out with a bum like me, and then to today

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>he was on the Today Show promoting his new album.

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>So how about that. I didn't even know he had

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>a new album. Let's go out to Coasta Mesa. Rick,

0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Rick?

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 8>Hey, nice to talk to you.

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 4>Did I catch you by surprise? You called me?

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah? Hey, Hey, you know what. I'm from San Diego

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 8>and I was telling your speener that the gold Glover

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 8>and made just like Paw his tonight.

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean Pa has made a great throw tonight, and

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 2>that's why he has a very good chance of being

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a Goal Glove winner. And that's part of the reason

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>why he was an All Star starter. So you think

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 2>about Pa, has you think about Max Munsey, You even

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>think about Mookie Betts, who was the runner up at

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 2>shortstop for the goal Glove last year. These aren't just guys,

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:29.680
<v Speaker 2>they're really good players that are three time World Series

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 2>champions in the case of Muncie, a four time World

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Series winner in Mookie Betts, and a guy that made

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 2>a big catch in the World Series last year and

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 2>who's really coming into his own. These aren't just also rans.

0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean I feel like people. I know, if the Dodgers,

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 2>these group of Dodgers were playing on the East Coast,

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 2>if they were the Mets or the Yankees, all these

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>people east of the Mississippi would be, you know, crowning

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 2>these guys the greatest team of all time. But because

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 2>they're in LA, they don't get their due. They should

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 2>get there due, and if they three pete, they're going

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 2>down in history as one of the greatest teams of

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>all time. I don't care where they play. Let's go

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>out to Whittier. Michael, you're on Dodger Talk.

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 4>How are you doing, Michael, I'm doing well.

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 3>David.

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 9>Thank you for taking my call.

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.760
<v Speaker 4>My pleasure. Did you get a chance to listen or

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 4>or watch this game tonight?

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 9>I got to watch you on TV.

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 4>But nice.

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 9>Honestly, I think whatever whatever break that the Zaki had

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 9>with an entire you know, all Star break, whatever mentality

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 9>that they worked with him, that was fantastic. As far

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 9>as the way he pitched today, he is outstanding when

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 9>he gets that first strike and they just need to

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 9>keep beating that into him. And second, what I would

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 9>like to say is pe should have had All Star

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 9>appearance last year. He is a phenomenal.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 6>Center killer.

0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 9>He definitely deserved all the tack plays that he got

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 9>this year.

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, David, no doubt, no doubt, Michael, thank you

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 4>for calling in. Appreciate it.

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>He's the only challenge for Pa haz now is to

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>carry this through the end of the year. He's proven

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>he could do it for our first half, but now

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 2>he's got to take the next step in his major

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 2>league career. And do it for a full season. That's

0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the challenge for Andy. Pie has not to let down

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.160
<v Speaker 2>and mentally a one sixty two season plus the playoffs

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers will wear you down mentally, and that's

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the challenge for him.

0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Now, can he take this.

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Through the rest of the season and into October because

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 2>we all know he struggled offensively in October.

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 4>What is he going to do this year? That's the

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 4>next challenge.

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Want to give you an update on show.

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Hey Otani, who was oh for for tonight. In his

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 2>first at bat, he sent a ball to the wall

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 2>in right field. It was an out he was oh

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 2>for for tonight. He hit the ball hard tonight, but

0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>not a lot to show for it. As we were

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about before the All Star break, he was going

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 2>to manage that left knee, and we all, including Otani,

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 2>thought he was going to have his left knee drained.

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 4>That wasn't the case.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>We found out today from Dave Roberts and head trainer

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Thomas Aalbert that Otani did not have his left knee drained. Instead,

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 2>O'tani got an injection some lubricant type of injection. Wouldn't

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 2>be surprised if doctor Neil Elatrosh was involved or you know,

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure who was involved, but he's the head

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:49.440
<v Speaker 2>doctor for the Dodgers, so he obviously okayed this.

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 4>But Otani did not have his left knee drained.

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>He did get an injection left knee lubricant injection. He

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:01.040
<v Speaker 2>is going to dh tomorrow and on Snday night baseball,

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 2>so no day games here in New York lend itself

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:09.120
<v Speaker 2>to that. And I was around Otani in the clubhouse today.

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 2>He seemed to be in good spirits. He seemed to

0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:15.400
<v Speaker 2>wake up from a nap. He loves to sleep, and

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 2>that obviously is a big part of the recovery. But

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 2>he's in good spirits and didn't seem to be limping

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:26.160
<v Speaker 2>at all today. And he will pitch on Wednesday in Philadelphia,

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 2>not a surprise because there's a day off on Thursday.

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.400
<v Speaker 2>So the first half of the year, that's the way

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 2>it went. The Dodgers lined up his starts for Wednesdays

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 2>because there were a lot of days off on Thursdays.

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's the plan for show Hey Otani and coming

0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 2>up in fifteen minutes you'll hear from manager Dave Roberts

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to be in the office with the

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Skipper, and he gave us a little bit more

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 2>detail about Otanian managing him in the second half of

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.160
<v Speaker 2>the season. Tonight's game brought to you by Modello. Modello

0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the mark of a fighter Dodger fan, I gotta say,

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm really disappointed in you tonight. What an exciting game

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.480
<v Speaker 2>in the Bronx. The Dodgers beat the Yankees the way

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.479
<v Speaker 2>they beat them, the way they beat Eric Cole. Where

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 2>are you? We have two lines open plus eight six

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy. Don't get complacent

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>on me, Dodger fans. Don't get spoiled. You better not

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>get spoiled. This team is spoiling you. I could feel it.

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Don't let that. Don't let that start to set in.

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I want to feel that intensity. I want to feel

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.199
<v Speaker 2>that excitement in you after games like tonight as the

0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.080

<v Speaker 2>one swing a two to one or I should say

0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a two run home run to give the Dodgers the

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.040

<v Speaker 2>the phone number Dodger fans don't embarrass me. You know

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I called you out. Don't get spoiled. You should be

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 2>so excited after a game like tonight. You should be

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.719
<v Speaker 2>as excited as the Dodger fans that were in attendance

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 2>tonight here at Yankee Stadium. I know a lot of

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 2>them flew out here to be here for the weekend.

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.479
<v Speaker 2>What an exciting weekend in New York. Not only the

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers and Yankees going at it, Fanatics Fest is happening,

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and the World Cup Final is happening in Jersey on Sunday.

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 2>And trust me, Rockefeller Center that was the FIFA hub

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 2>they had the fan experiences going on.

0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 4>New York is.

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Very crowded because of this World Cup, but a lot

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>of excitement about the Dodgers being back in New York

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:53.000
<v Speaker 2>and specifically at Yankee Stadium for the first time since

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Game five of the twenty four World Series. Garrett Cole,

0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 2>my guy from UCLA, pitched great. I just would not

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:03.479
<v Speaker 2>have left him in to face Max Munsey after that

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 2>five pitch leadoff walk to Mookie Betts, Aaron Boone did

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers win two to one, and a great

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 2>relay throw from Pahz to Mookie to Dalton Rushing, who

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:16.760
<v Speaker 2>did not have a great night at the plate, but

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:20.439
<v Speaker 2>he was very pivotal defensively behind the plate. I know

0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 2>he let a ball go through the wickets. He was

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 2>kicking himself about that after the game, but he made

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 2>up for it and then some later in that game

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 2>and the way he caught Roki Sasaki, and don't let

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 2>him fool you. He has a lot to do with

0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the fire in Roki. There's something about Rushing that he

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 2>knows how to light a fire underneath Roki Sasaki, and

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 2>that certainly was there tonight.

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Let's go back out to the phones. Greg in La

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 4>you're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi.

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:53.520
<v Speaker 5>Greg, mister vassay, it is a pleasure. I haven't called

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 5>in years. Only reason why I haven't called in years

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.639
<v Speaker 5>because I know, normally it's so hard to get through.

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 5>But you know, when you hauled out everybody, I was like,

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.439
<v Speaker 5>you know, let me give it a try. Next thing,

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:04.439
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm talking to.

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 4>You, try. I just don't want anybody getting spoiled out.

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:14.080
<v Speaker 5>There, and it looks like they are because I got

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:15.719
<v Speaker 5>through and I haven't called him years, and for me

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 5>to call through call in and I got through. That

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 5>means there's a lot of fans are just laying back

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.520
<v Speaker 5>and are getting complacent, and you know, you've got to

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 5>really enjoy what this team is doing. Especially look you

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 5>guys like you guys remember the years when we couldn't

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 5>even get to this point as far as being dominant,

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, and and play the Yankees and to win

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 5>a game like this, and it's just like, come on, guys,

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 5>you gotta wake up. And at the same time, before

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.199
<v Speaker 5>you let me go, I just wanted to know the

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 5>backup situation with the catching with with with with Will

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 5>Smith and with Dald Rushing. He did really great tonight.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, David.

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:54.159
<v Speaker 7>It's a pleasure.

0:22:54.160 --> 0:22:55.199
<v Speaker 5>I haven't talked to you in years.

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 6>You're the best man.

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:22:57.440 --> 0:22:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Hey, call back sooner than a few years. Greg, all right,

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 2>thank you for the phone call.

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:02.679
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:04.400
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the catching situation is this, there's no new

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 2>news that came out of what Dave Roberts said today,

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>because if you've been listening to the show, you've been

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:16.560
<v Speaker 2>listening to our conversations with Dave Roberts, even going back

0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 2>to the last road trip in Minnesota when I was

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:19.640
<v Speaker 2>asking him.

0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Virtually every other day.

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 2>About Will Smith, he said, I don't see him coming

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:28.399
<v Speaker 2>back before July, which means August, and that's exactly what

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 2>he said today. Look, I don't know what's going on

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 2>with Will Smith's neck. They've been very vague about what

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 2>specific injury Will Smith has.

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 4>But he's feeling pain.

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:44.639
<v Speaker 2>He can't turn his head left as freely as you

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.960
<v Speaker 2>need to turn it, and I don't know. I feel

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.439
<v Speaker 2>like this may bleed into late August, maybe the beginning

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 2>of September. And that's why I'm a big advocate for

0:23:54.840 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers to go out there and acquire a veteran

0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 2>backup catcher. And I know, Auto Matt, everybody talks about

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Ben Rortvitt. Well, Ben Rortvitt isn't the only catcher out

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 2>there that can be a good backup. And look, Ben

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 2>did a great job. He's familiar with the Dodger pitchers,

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger program as a catcher. But there's other guys

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:18.440
<v Speaker 2>out there that could be had other than Ben Roortfitt.

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 4>And then also, you know, as The Athletic.

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Reported, the Dodgers could spin off a guy like Eric

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Lauer or make another trade with the Twins or the

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Cardinals to get more minor league catching depth to help

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 2>themselves to pad that area moving forward. So catching definitely

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:42.160
<v Speaker 2>would be on the radar at the trade deadline. Eight

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:46.120
<v Speaker 2>six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number. Okay,

0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 2>there you are Dodger fans. You know you talk about

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:53.439
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger players getting complacent. I'm worried you're getting complacent,

0:24:54.040 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Danny and Marietta.

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 4>I hope you're not spoiled out there.

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 10>No, not at all. I just want to say it

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 10>was a good win despite all the injuries we have.

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.160
<v Speaker 10>We have a lot of debt, and we're never out

0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 10>of any game. They stay patient and they pushed through

0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 10>all all through the nine innings.

0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so tonight was one of those great playoff type wins, Danny.

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Those are the type of games that you win in

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs against the pitcher like Garrett Cole.

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, one percent. And it shows what kind of veterans

0:25:26.840 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 10>tim they are. And they you got to beat the champion.

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 10>You got to play a complete game.

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:33.560
<v Speaker 3>So they don't.

0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 11>They don't get.

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 10>Nervous, and they play all nine innings and they know

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 10>that they could win any team at any time and

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 10>it's a it's a marathon, it's not a sprint.

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, Danny, thanks for the phone call. I'm glad

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 2>you're not getting complacent out there. Let's go out to Ventura,

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:49.879
<v Speaker 2>a very beautiful beachside city.

0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Terry.

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:53.639
<v Speaker 2>I could see you getting lulled into some sort of

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 2>complacency out there, not me.

0:25:57.400 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 12>You got the wrong guy. I'm not on the antithesis

0:25:59.720 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 12>of complacent. But let me just say, obviously, Dalton Rushing

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.640
<v Speaker 12>made a great swipe tag and he's really done generally

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.919
<v Speaker 12>a great job. And like you said, catching asaki isn't easy.

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 12>But you know, Rick Money on the radio said these things.

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 12>And I saw replays that pass ball. He was trying

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 12>to frame the pitch, and that was like, really, I

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 12>got to be honest, like a high school catcher could

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.439
<v Speaker 12>have caught that ball. He just made a bad idea

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 12>on that one. And the other thing Rick Money pointed

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 12>out is because you know, he was the center fielder

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 12>once again, Pie's like kind of dropped the ball. But

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 12>I'm just saying, our defense still is a little bit shaky,

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 12>but you can't get past the most amazing cutoff thing.

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 12>That was amazing. But I wondered what your take is

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 12>on Rushing in that pass ball, because if you saw

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 12>the replay, it was like, are you kidding me? I

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:42.719
<v Speaker 12>gotta be honest.

0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he was embarrassed about that, Terry, And look,

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:49.359
<v Speaker 2>he's going through growing pains. But I would say the

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 2>good has outweighed the bad for Rushing so far being

0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 2>the starting catcher. With Will Smith's injury, I think this

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.640
<v Speaker 2>is maybe the best thing for Dalton Rushing because who

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 2>knows the Dodgers may need him to catch in October.

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 2>We don't know about Will Smith's neck. It seems to

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 2>be the most mysterious neck injury I've ever heard of,

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 2>So there's no guarantees from what we're gathering right now.

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:15.120
<v Speaker 2>He'll learn from that.

0:27:15.200 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 12>I think Dalton Rushing. I think Dalton Rushing is mine large,

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 12>doing a great job. I just want to make a

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.040
<v Speaker 12>comment that one thing I saw, and I hope they

0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 12>correct that. That's all.

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:26.920
<v Speaker 2>He'll correct it himself, no doubt, Terry, thank you for

0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:29.800
<v Speaker 2>the phone call. Look, even in our walkoff interview, I

0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't even bring that play up.

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 4>He brought it up.

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>He was still upset about that play, allowing that run

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 2>in and the error by Piz even allowed that runner

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 2>to get the third base. He never should have been

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:45.159
<v Speaker 2>at third base, So rushing and po has redeemed themselves

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning on that relay throw, because both

0:27:48.880 --> 0:27:54.359
<v Speaker 2>guys were responsible for that run scoring for the first

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yankee run tonight, that was on both of them. There

0:27:57.040 --> 0:28:00.200
<v Speaker 2>was no reason for that runner to be at at

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:04.880
<v Speaker 2>third base. Piez should not have allowed Domingas to get

0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 2>to third. That was a double and when you give

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:12.200
<v Speaker 2>away ninety feet, runs will score. And luckily the Dodgers

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 2>were able to make up for it tonight. Let's go

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 2>out to Joseph in Ontario. You're on Dodger Talk live

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 2>from Yankee Stadium.

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 10>Hi, Joseph, Hey, how you doing?

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:25.120
<v Speaker 11>I second that emotion. I'm driving home with my daughter Leila,

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.720
<v Speaker 11>and you called us out. So here I am calling,

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:30.080
<v Speaker 11>what is Aaron Boone?

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Where you been?

0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:31.000
<v Speaker 12>Joe?

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Joseph, where you been? You just waiting for October

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:35.320
<v Speaker 2>to call in?

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 11>No, sir, I'm saying, like the other guy, I just

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 11>don't even bother. It's always so packed. But thanks for

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 11>calling us out. What's what Aaron Booney doesn't remember Pedro

0:28:45.240 --> 0:28:47.640
<v Speaker 11>Martinez and Gritty Little and keeping him out there and

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 11>that magnificent home run he hit. I kind of got

0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:53.320
<v Speaker 11>a flashback of that when I heard on the radio

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 11>that he was leading him out there. I was like,

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 11>allread we go, Max is gonna knock it out of

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 11>the park just like he did.

0:28:58.120 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, great call.

0:29:00.000 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 2>You know the differences in that type of game with

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 2>that Red Sox bullpen. I am leaving Pedro in there.

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 2>This is July seventeenth. He's only made ten starts since

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 2>coming back from Tommy John surgery.

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Why why do that?

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 2>You could see the guest tank was going low for

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Garrett Cole, and I think that was just a manager

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 2>not wanting to have any sort of ill will from

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 2>his player.

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.400
<v Speaker 11>Oh well, that's not as fun as what I was saying.

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah all right, I feel like it was. Joseph.

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the phone call. And look, I know

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of people that call in. I know

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the way time can be a little bit long, but look,

0:29:42.440 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 2>give it a call, give it a try. You never

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 2>know when you can get through. Let's take one more

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 2>phone call before we check in with manager. Dave Roberts

0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Andrew and Riverside.

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 4>How you doing. You're on Dodger Talk.

0:29:54.280 --> 0:29:56.680
<v Speaker 13>Dave, great to talk to you man. Never called him,

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.720
<v Speaker 13>been listened for a while. I just wanted to call in.

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 13>So yeah, earlier this season, I was trying of hating

0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 13>on him call my buddy. Well, No, earlier this season,

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:10.840
<v Speaker 13>I wanted to self report. A couple of my buddies

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 13>can really testify to that. So, yeah, I just got

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 13>to apologize to Mookie. He's having a hell of a

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.120
<v Speaker 13>comeback this this rest of the season. And wanted to

0:30:22.160 --> 0:30:24.640

<v Speaker 13>for the World Cup?

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh, man, how can you go against MESSI?

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I agree, I agree completely. Uh, I'm going the

0:30:33.600 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 13>same way, even though the world seems to be hating

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:36.080
<v Speaker 13>on him though.

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:39.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're gonna have it. So how are you going

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:39.840

<v Speaker 2>Man, Hey, thank you, Andrew. Have a great time in

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Dana Point. That's a great city, all right. I had

0:31:55.040 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 2>a chance to catch up with the manager, Dave Roberts.

0:31:58.040 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 2>It's the manager's meeting every week, we presented by our

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 2>friends at Downy Hunday, and we had a chance to

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 2>dive right in today being a great ambassador at the

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Midsummer Classic and also the latest on show. Hey O, Tani, Dave,

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>thanks a lot for the time.

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh Dave Man.

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:18.480
<v Speaker 14>I feel refreshed, recharged, and we certainly do have a

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.120
<v Speaker 14>lot of great members here at this new Yankee Stadium.

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Some of your players told me not to get too nostalgic,

0:32:24.000 --> 0:32:26.800
<v Speaker 2>but it's hard not to the last time we were here,

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I remember before Game five talking to you outside of

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the doors of the clubhouse and who could forget your

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:38.360
<v Speaker 2>trust and Blake trining your trust in Walker Buehler. Do

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 2>some of those memories start to flood back?

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 3>They do?

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:46.880
<v Speaker 14>They do, And yeah, you just look back and kind

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 14>of here and the stanks stakes certainly aren't as high,

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 14>and kind of going back to what Blake Tryning did,

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 14>what Walker Bueller did, the mindset of closing these guys

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 14>out in Game five, the World Series, and how Game

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:03.440
<v Speaker 14>five starts so many great memories and it's hard not

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:04.719
<v Speaker 14>to be nostalgic.

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>One of the images that go through my mind is

0:33:08.040 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 2>when you're going out to the mound to get the

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 2>temperature of Blake trying and Freddie Freeman waving you off,

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and you just wanted to gauge where everybody was. What

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.760
<v Speaker 2>stood out to you about leaving trining in.

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:24.080
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, so I went out there and I just wanted

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 14>to get his pulse, told him he had one more hitter,

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 14>wanted to slow the game down, look into his eyes,

0:33:29.840 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 14>put my hands on him, and then he gets the

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 14>hit her out and then at that point in time,

0:33:34.560 --> 0:33:36.320
<v Speaker 14>I was going to go get him. And then that's

0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 14>when Freddie was kind of like waving me off, shoeing

0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 14>me off. And I'm happy I listened to him, because

0:33:43.040 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 14>you know, I said he was going to get one hitter.

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 14>I didn't want to bait and switch Blake. But at

0:33:49.760 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 14>that point in time, he didn't look at me, because

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.120
<v Speaker 14>if he was going to look at me after he

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 14>got that hitter, I was going to get him. But

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:57.080
<v Speaker 14>and I've talked to him and laugh with Blake after

0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 14>the fact, said I wasn't going to make eye contact

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 14>with you once I got that guy out because I

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.080
<v Speaker 14>wanted the next guy and he ended up getting stanned.

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I've never asked you this before, but Daniel Hudson we

0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:11.320
<v Speaker 2>all know now got hurt warming up in the bullpen

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>that night in Game five. If he doesn't get hurt,

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 2>does anything change.

0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 7>No?

0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 14>Because to be quite honest, I didn't even know he

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:27.799
<v Speaker 14>was hurt. And so it's funny is that as it

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:32.720
<v Speaker 14>played out, I stuck with Blake, didn't know Huddy was hurt.

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 14>Walker was going to have that inning, and then my

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:39.920
<v Speaker 14>hope was that Huddy would be the guy if we

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 14>didn't win it there, but if it would have prolonged

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 14>the game, I don't know what we would have done.

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 2>To be quite honest, Hey, you bet on your players,

0:34:49.239 --> 0:34:51.719
<v Speaker 2>like you talk about, and they delivered for you.

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 4>That was a special time.

0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:55.520
<v Speaker 14>No, they did, And I think you know, we all

0:34:55.520 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 14>make mistakes and learn from things. And so the one

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.919
<v Speaker 14>thing that I do know is that you know, you've

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 14>got to trust your players, bet on your players, certainly

0:35:03.600 --> 0:35:04.640
<v Speaker 14>in those biggest spots.

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Manager Dave Roberts, three times World Series winning manager for

0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, is our guest, presented by Downy hun Day.

0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:14.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's StAst forward to the here and now.

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Show heyl Tani's in your starting lineup. When do you

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:19.440
<v Speaker 2>anticipate him pitching again.

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 14>Well, right now, he's slated for Wednesday, and so right

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 14>now it's good that you know he can get here

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 14>from the break, play catch, we can put eyes on them,

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:32.480
<v Speaker 14>see ice progressing. Expecting to be in the lineup all

<v Speaker 14>three games. And I should have a bullpen here over

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:38.719
<v Speaker 14>the weekend. And like I said, as we sit here

0:35:38.800 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 14>right now, he's going to start on Wednesday.

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it works out this first Wednesday. You got a

0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:43.759
<v Speaker 2>day off on Thursday.

0:35:44.160 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 3>No, that's right, that's exactly right.

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 14>So you know for show, Hey, you know potentially it's

0:35:51.120 --> 0:35:53.239
<v Speaker 14>the Wednesday, then you get the off day, so he'll

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:54.200
<v Speaker 14>be in a good spot.

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.279
<v Speaker 2>When you look at your team, obviously, it kind of

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 2>feels like a lifetime ago those last three games at

0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>home against Arizona. Do you feel like this is a

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:07.280
<v Speaker 2>new start to the season in some respects and whatever

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 2>took place there was, whatever the feelings we're going into

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 2>the break.

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 14>I do I think that, and I hate to admit it,

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:17.800
<v Speaker 14>but it just did seem like we were sleepwalking a

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:20.320
<v Speaker 14>little bit, certainly on the offensive side and the defensive

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 14>side actually going into the break. And so hopefully, you know,

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:26.799
<v Speaker 14>everyone gets up to play the Dodgers. Everyone gets up

0:36:26.840 --> 0:36:29.839
<v Speaker 14>to play the Yankees. We're on their home turf. Then

0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 14>we go to City Field, which we go and play

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:34.000
<v Speaker 14>another good team in the Phillies, and then we go

0:36:34.080 --> 0:36:37.759
<v Speaker 14>to Flushing and play the metsa city field. So we

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.359
<v Speaker 14>got a good run of kind of what fans, what

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:45.080
<v Speaker 14>media wants. So my expectation is at the floor the

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:46.800
<v Speaker 14>quality of play is going to be heightened.

0:36:46.920 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 2>You were such a great ambassador again for Major League Baseball,

0:36:50.760 --> 0:36:54.600
<v Speaker 2>not just the Dodgers during the All Star break in Philadelphia.

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>You've been through this a few times now. What was

0:36:58.040 --> 0:36:59.719
<v Speaker 2>it like this experience?

0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:00.800
<v Speaker 3>It was great.

0:37:01.760 --> 0:37:05.879
<v Speaker 14>I think the game was probably forgettable in the sense

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:07.560
<v Speaker 14>that there wasn't a whole lot going on. I was

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:09.920
<v Speaker 14>happy with Robo him being able to go to innings.

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 14>As far as a Dodger fan, the home run derby

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 14>was fantastic. But for me, as always, it was my

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 14>fifth go at this with me and my staff, the

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:23.280
<v Speaker 14>conversations with the players was fantastic. Spending time with Don

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:27.480
<v Speaker 14>Mattingly was great, Ali Marmol was great, and so that's

0:37:27.600 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 14>always kind of the best takeaway.

0:37:29.400 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I know we always talk about oh being around other

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 2>players and learning and picking from them. But are you

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:37.759
<v Speaker 2>starting to get the sense now that players from other

0:37:37.840 --> 0:37:41.000
<v Speaker 2>teams are coming to you trying to find out what

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:42.799
<v Speaker 2>the magic of the Dodgers is.

0:37:43.160 --> 0:37:47.360
<v Speaker 14>I am that is certainly the case where people are

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 14>courting me and trying to get my ear. You know

0:37:51.840 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 14>about certain things, and you know what makes the Dodgers

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:57.680
<v Speaker 14>so special. And I think in this game people talk,

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:01.360
<v Speaker 14>you know, players talk, coaches talk. Obviously they see the

0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 14>success that we had, so it is fun for me

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:07.280
<v Speaker 14>as the opposing or the manager of the NL team

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 14>to I do get that opportunity to kind of not

0:38:10.800 --> 0:38:13.040
<v Speaker 14>vet players but get to know them, so when they

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 14>do become free or you make trades and things like that,

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 14>you have a little bit more insight and color. But

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 14>it is interesting, Dave, that people always want to know

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 14>the what's under the hood or behind the curtain with

0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:24.680
<v Speaker 14>the Dodgers.

0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:25.120
<v Speaker 12>Yeah.

0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:28.240
<v Speaker 2>One of my favorite moments that I saw was somehow,

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 2>some way Dave Roberts got roped into a photo with

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:34.560
<v Speaker 2>all the Cuban players or all this Chapman Randia Rose Arena.

0:38:34.640 --> 0:38:37.839
<v Speaker 2>How did you find yourself in that situation?

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 3>That was hilarious.

0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:45.400
<v Speaker 14>So they were taking pictures and then Junior Kamenera wanted

0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:47.840
<v Speaker 14>to take a picture with me, so I said okay,

0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 14>and then they were talking and I go, hey, said,

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:55.319
<v Speaker 14>is what they call cubans And so I said, hey,

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 14>you guys come here, then let's go take a photo.

0:38:57.800 --> 0:38:59.680
<v Speaker 3>And so they all got in there. We were all laughing.

0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:00.759
<v Speaker 3>It was hilarious.

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:02.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I saw I saw the video of that.

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I was like, only Dave Roberts can bring these guys together.

0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:07.160
<v Speaker 3>It was great.

0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 14>But the thing is is that we're all a small

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:12.920
<v Speaker 14>fraternity and we're playing a game we get to do

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 14>and it's bigger than us.

0:39:16.760 --> 0:39:17.200
<v Speaker 3>The game.

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:19.319
<v Speaker 14>Like I tell my players all the time, Dave Man,

0:39:19.360 --> 0:39:21.319
<v Speaker 14>the game doesn't need us. It's going to go on

0:39:21.480 --> 0:39:24.240
<v Speaker 14>with or without us, and we just got to hopefully

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:25.480
<v Speaker 14>make our little contribution.

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, you've made a big contribution, and you are great

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:30.600
<v Speaker 2>for the game. You're a great ambassador for the game.

0:39:30.920 --> 0:39:35.000
<v Speaker 2>And here's something that this is a fan question that really,

0:39:35.280 --> 0:39:37.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, turned the light bulb for me. You're one

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:42.719
<v Speaker 2>of the few managers that still wears his full uniform.

0:39:42.800 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 2>You don't go with a T shirt, you're not putting

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the hoodie over. Where does that come from? And how

0:39:48.040 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 2>much pride do you have to button up that jersey,

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:54.800
<v Speaker 2>which we don't really see for managers these days.

0:39:55.960 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 14>I really appreciate that insight, that that fan noticing that

0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:05.480
<v Speaker 14>it's intentional. I think that it's my ode to the game,

0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 14>you know, and old manager from Walt Alston to Tommy

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 14>to the managers well beyond them, and I think it's.

0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Something that I look forward to doing.

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:18.200
<v Speaker 14>Joe Tory did it, and so something for me is

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 14>like I just feel like if I manage the Los

0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:24.680
<v Speaker 14>Angeles Dodgers, a certain optics and how I carry myself

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 14>should come with it. And so I take a lot

0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:28.920
<v Speaker 14>of pride and wear my uniform every day.

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.720
<v Speaker 2>That's why you're the perfect guy for this job. Before

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:33.879
<v Speaker 2>I let you go, let's bring a full circle really quick.

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I have to ask you this. So we're in your

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:39.400
<v Speaker 2>office right now. Do you remember the last moments that

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:42.480
<v Speaker 2>you were in this office? After Game five? What do

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:45.040
<v Speaker 2>you remember about the last couple of and the last

0:40:45.040 --> 0:40:46.080
<v Speaker 2>time you walked out of here.

0:40:46.200 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 14>I remember being drenched in champagne, having goggles on top

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:54.719
<v Speaker 14>of my head, my son Cole in this office, and

0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 14>Andrew Brandon Gombs just in here, just chopping it up

0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 14>having a blast like, got my showers on, kind of

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:04.680
<v Speaker 14>taking a big exa going. I just cannot believe we

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 14>just won the World Series. So when I walked down

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:10.879
<v Speaker 14>those steps today for batting practice, it's going to kind

0:41:10.880 --> 0:41:13.800
<v Speaker 14>of be fresh in my mind. You know what transpired,

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:14.919
<v Speaker 14>you know, a couple years ago.

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:17.279
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot for sharing all those memories with us.

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.439
<v Speaker 2>Great job as always being an ambassador for Major League

0:41:20.480 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Baseball at the All Star Game, and we look forward

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:24.040
<v Speaker 2>to doing this again next week.

0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:25.040
<v Speaker 4>We'll be back in New York.

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:26.919
<v Speaker 3>Look forward to it, Dave, Thank you very much.

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Thanks again to Dave Roberts for another great managers meeting

0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:34.600
<v Speaker 2>presented by Downy Hundai. It was great insight to not

0:41:34.719 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 2>only what the Dodgers were thinking, was show hey O'tani

0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 2>what was happening during the All Star break, but also

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the experience of being the National League manager again for

0:41:43.840 --> 0:41:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts. So a fun conversation. We do it every

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:50.440
<v Speaker 2>week with Dave Roberts. Hope you're enjoying it as well.

0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:54.040
<v Speaker 2>By the way, O'tani did not have his left knee drained.

0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:58.040
<v Speaker 2>He had some sort of lubricant injection and he's scheduled

0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 2>as you heard Dave say to pitch Wednesday in Philadelphia,

0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:03.840
<v Speaker 2>with the day off on Thursday, that'll do it for

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 2>us tonight on Dodger Talk. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald here
