The Dodgers are the favorites to become 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:12.600 the fifth. 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.080 This is World Champion Dodger Talk. 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:17.640 Here we go again, Riga running back to get in on. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.520 The show called eight six six note eighty seven two 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.520 five seventy and be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:29.400 you catch your podcasts. And now your host, here's Colin Yee. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.880 A happy flight for the Dodgers as they come back 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.559 home with a win over the hated Ones, the Giants 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:43.680 three to nothing behind an incredible start from Tyler Glass. Now, 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.240 welcome in to Dodger Talk here on a five to 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.880 seventy LA Sports, your home of the back to back 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.919 World Series champion Dodgers calling at eight sixty six nine 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.400 eight seven two five seventy. That's eight six six nine 0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:00.560 eight seven two five seventy. Is the Dodgers go three 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.039 and four on the road trip. They're now seventeen and eight, 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.480 tied with the Padres atop the NL West and just 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.560 a half game behind the Atlanta Braves for the best 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:17.320 record in baseball. Tyler Glass now boy was he awesome today. 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.680 Eight innings, nine. 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:24.440 Strikeouts, one hit, one walk, and Luisa Rise was the 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:29.360 only Giant to reach base all game as Tanner Scott 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.320 came in and cleaned things up in the ninth, the 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.600 one two, three eighting for his. 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.080 First save of the game. 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.640 But Tyler Glass now now ten strikeouts away from eleven 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.560 or one thousand career strikeouts, and the heart high product 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:49.880 has really locked things in this season. This is someone 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.760 who's so talented, who's long and lanky and really can 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.960 use that height to his advantage, and I think at 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.640 times he has, but he's dealt with a lot of injuries, 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.520 he's dealt with the emotional, the mental part of the 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:12.920 game that he struggled with admittedly so and previously the 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.040 most starts he's had in a season, you have to 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.480 go all the way back to twenty twenty four, his 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.919 first year with the Dodgers, twenty two starts, one hundred 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.760 and thirty four innings, that's his only All Star appearance, 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.079 and the way that Tyler Glass now has started this season, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.119 he looks like he's not only in for another All 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:38.920 Star appearance, but also a possible Cy Young candidate. You 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:41.600 have three of them right now with Otan who has 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:47.279 a three eight ere zero three eight era, yoshiob Yamamoto 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:52.080 his eras around two four to eight, and Tyler Glass 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.480 now now three and oh with a two four five er. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.560 It's just amazing the wealth of pitching that the Dogs have. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.519 You know, on the flip side, the bats have been called, 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:11.320 as David Vassell likes to say, consado and the bats 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.400 today again weren't great. Three runs on the board, but 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.680 the top of the order was one for thirteen with 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.360 two strikeouts and the bottom of the order four for 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.800 nine with two ribbies. So it's been the bottom of 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:34.840 the order so far this season carrying this team. Andy 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.640 Pah has what he's done first twenty five games of 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:46.600 the year, He's been awesome, Dalton rushing in just ten games, 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:56.080 fourteen RBI, hiss On Kim hitting three twenty four. So 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.920 the bottom of the lineup carrying this Dodger team, and 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.400 really that's scary for the rest of the league. If 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.800 you told me that the top of the lineup you 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:14.400 don't have Mookie Betts, shoeyo Atani is hitting two forty five, 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.200 Tasker Hernandez is hitting two forty four. He had a 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.120 tough road trip where he was two for twenty four 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:28.480 with eight strikeouts. Kyle Tucker also a tough road trip, 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.360 and he's been in the top of the order as 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.440 well up until today, where they moved him to the 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.760 cleanup spot. But on this road trip he was seven 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.680 for twenty seven, not great as well eight strikeouts, although 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.200 today he was two for four. So you hope that movement, 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:51.320 that change in the lineup will get Kyle Tucker back 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:58.600 to where he should be. But it's scary for the 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.040 rest of the league. If the top of the lineup 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.440 is not performing and the Dodgers are still seventeen and 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:11.760 eight with one of the best records in baseball, that's scary, 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.400 not great news if you're the rest of the league. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:17.640 And I know it seems that. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.479 This was a bad road trip, and it was you 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.200 go three and four against to the bottom tier teams 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.279 in the NL West. I mean, I admit going into 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.279 this series, I looked at the seven game road trip 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.440 and I thought, okay, well, Colorado might be tough. It's 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.760 always a tough series, so you might drop one there 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.080 and maybe you drop one in Oracle. But five and 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.279 two is what I saw as a pretty realistic outcome 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:49.000 for this seven game road trip, and five and two 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.920 would have been pretty good. All of a sudden, then 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.880 you're nineteen and six and you have the best record 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.680 in baseball and the best start for the Dodgers in 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.240 a long time. In fact, I went back and looked 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:08.000 at the previous five years starts for the Dodgers through 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.240 the first twenty five games, because it really puts into 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:15.360 perspective what you're looking for in those first twenty five 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.919 games and allows you to not panic. Not saying that 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.040 Dodger fans are panicking, but even after this road trip, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.839 you probably don't feel too good about going three and four. 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.240 But in twenty twenty one, that was the season where 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.640 the Dodgers and Giants were going back and forth for 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.320 the NL West Division title, and the Giants came out 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.680 on top by one game. Of course, the Dodgers beat 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.880 them on that Wilmer Flores check swing, Max Schurz are 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:49.200 screaming off the mound and won that NLDS. The Dodgers 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.200 won one hundred and six games that year. They went 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:56.120 sixteen and nine, So already you're on a better pace. 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:58.679 Than that team. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.320 The twenty two that was a record year for the 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.440 Dodgers one hundred and eleven games, a franchise record for 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.840 the Dodgers that season. They started the year eighteen and seven. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.960 Of course, lost in the Division series to the Padres. 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:21.640 In twenty three, thirteen and twelve they won one hundred games, 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:29.000 and they started thirteen and twelve still won one hundred games. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.720 Of course, lost to the Diamondbacks that year in twenty 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.520 four and twenty five. Their championship years fourteen and eleven 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.520 was the start in last year sixteen and nine. So 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:44.559 already this team going for that three peat a better 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.800 start through twenty five games than the last two title runs. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.920 And again that's all that matters, that you're holding that 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.520 trophy at the end of the season and the Dodgers 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.320 trying to become just the fifth team in Major League 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:02.080 Baseball history to three pat and the first team in 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.400 the NL. The Yankees did it three times and Athletics 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.160 once in the seventies. But for the Dodgers, have to 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.520 feel good coming home seventeen and eight through twenty five 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:20.000 games and you're not even clicking on all cylinders. The 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.280 top of your lineup is still trying to figure things out. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:28.440 Shoe Aotawni one for thirteen against the Giants with five strikeouts, 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.240 zero for five with two strikeouts today, He's going to 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:37.280 figure it out. Kyle Tucker starting to look a little 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.880 bit better, especially today. Came into the game five for 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.360 twenty three, but two for four today. You know, Tasker 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.960 Hernandez is going to be big down the stretch. And 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.360 then you get Mookie Betts back. Oh, by the way, 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:56.360 Blake Snell he's also coming back. That's another pretty good 0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:01.160 pitcher that you can add to this staff. Nine eighty seven, 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.640 two five seventy is the phone number calling ye filling 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.920 in for Tim Kates on this Dodger Talk. Tim Kates 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.439 just want to give a special shout out to him, 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.600 thank him for this opportunity along with Brian Long and 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:17.400 Brian Blackmore. But a congratulations to Tim Kates on his daughter, 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.560 Laila's graduation at Grand Canyon University in just three years. 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:26.200 What an accomplishment for Layla Kates. We'll get your phone 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:30.600 calls in just a bit. Also here from Tyler Glass now, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.680 but I wanted to talk about Dalton Rushing and what 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:39.640 he's done. He's been awesome coming off the bench, fitting 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:44.120 any role, whether it be the dh playing first base catching, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:50.520 Dalton Rushing is doing a lot in his ten games. 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:55.720 Fourteen rbi in just ten games for young Dalton Rushing 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:01.040 and again today coming up in the clutch four hundred 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:06.120 with runners in scoring position, and he popped the lid 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.360 off this game for the Dodgers, who hadn't scored with 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.360 a hit since the Rockies game. The only run that 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.160 they got in the first game was a Hey Song 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.240 Kim Rbi walk and then they were shut out yesterday, 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.760 so Rushing starts the scoring in the top of the second. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.880 He was huge and has been huge for the Dodgers 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:33.280 all season long. Just an incredible, incredible job by Dalton 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.080 Rushing eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:41.000 Also wanted to get your thoughts on the Dodger Giant rivalry. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.880 Is it still one of the best rivalries in sports? 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.200 Because when I was growing up, it was always my 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:54.160 favorite thing to watch. One of the best rivalries that 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.199 you could watch in all of sports. I would say 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.200 the second best in baseball and at top ten, if 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.000 not top five. I have rivalry in all of baseball. 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.360 And we played the two thousand and four walk off 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.360 home run from Steve Finley. You think back all the 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.480 way to nineteen fifty one and Bobby Thompson shot herd 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.200 around the world, Juan Marichale and John Roseboro in a 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.560 brawl in sixty five, Brian Johnson with a walk off 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.840 home run in ninety seven. How about Madison Bumgarner feuding 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:26.760 with Puigue and Munsey telling him. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:27.800 To go get it out of the water. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.640 And then the twenty twenty one Division race, probably most recently, 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.400 what we remember about this rivalry the Czech swing from 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.200 Wilmer Flores and the Dodgers. Although they don't win the title, 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.800 they win the NLDS. And I'll tell you why the 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.560 rivalry is not what it once was. It's all on 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.040 the San Francisco Giants. They have not been a good 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.920 organization these last ten years. You look at twenty seventeen. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.960 Since twenty seventeen, if we count this year, that's ten years, 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.079 the Giants have one season where they've had a record 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:15.600 over five hundred. It's just not acceptable if you're a 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.880 storied franchise like the San Francisco Giants. And that one 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.480 season was that twenty twenty one season kind of a 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.120 miracle year. One last hurrah for Buster Posey and Company. 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.920 The Dodgers, on the other hand, since twenty seventeen, how 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:37.439 about five World Series appearances, three World Series titles, every 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:42.560 year going to the playoffs winning a division title except 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:43.800 twenty twenty one. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:51.360 And that's what has led to the rivalry feeling a 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.560 little flat. When you look at what. 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:58.240 The Padre Dodger rivalry is all of a sudden turned 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.960 into in the last ten years. It's been heated, there's 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.360 been fights, there's been jawing at each other. You have 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:11.679 the Padres putting up a Clayton Kershaw meme on their scoreboard. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.160 The Padres have been more of a rival than the 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.960 Giants in the past ten years. And it's because of 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.520 not only the playoff matchups that they've had, of course, 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:28.080 three playoff matchups since twenty seventeen, the one in twenty 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:32.400 twenty and then twenty two where the Padres beat that 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.400 really good Dodger team, the franchise record Dodger team, and 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.679 then the Dodgers getting them back in twenty four after 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.960 being down two to zero in that series, and the 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.560 Dodgers storming back and carrying that momentum into the World Series. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.800 It's been a rivalry. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.400 Where you just don't like the Padres. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.560 Manny Machado gets all the booze, Fernando Todatis with his 0:13:55.720 --> 0:14:03.760 lax of daisical style of play, Jake Ronan Worth easy 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.600 to not like the Padres, but the Giants. Is there 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:13.720 anyone really on that team that you don't like? Everyone's 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.040 pretty sterile when it comes to the Giants. There's not 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.240 someone that you can hate. And we saw a little 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.240 bit of it though in this series, a little fire 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.880 when it came to Dalton Rushing possibly saying something to 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.560 Junghu Lee and the media taking that going with it. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.120 Dalton rushing again saying I was not directing that at 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.520 Jung Hu Lee on that play at the plate, but 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.800 Logan Webb's standing up for his teammate and hitting him, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.760 and then Dalton rushing with a hard slide. You had 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.200 a little taste of the rivalry, but I think it's 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.280 gonna take some more success from the Giants. There's just 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:57.720 some better play overall from them to really make this 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:00.920 into the rivalry that it should be. 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:03.200 Eight six six. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:07.800 Ninety seven seventy is the phone number calling you filling 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.000 in for Tim Kates on Dodger Talk, on m five 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.760 to seventy LA Sports Dodger Baseball, brought to you by 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.160 Modello Modello the mark of a fighter.

You had a melt down in San Francisco, Bradley, 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:49.640 So Builton Bradley crazy times. Yes, yes, yep, I remember 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.760 Reggie Smith going into the stands and taking care of business. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.400 There's been a lot, right, Serge. You appreciate the kind 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.520 words too. There's been a lot of bad blood over 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.960 the years, and it's gone back. It's over one hundred years. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.560 I mean, you look at this series, Sergio, twelve ninety 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:10.360 to twelve eighty nine, with seventeen ties, only one more 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.240 win for the Giants over the course of this series 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.000 in the regular season. It's one of the best rivalries 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:16.680 in baseball. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:17.640 Sergio. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.360 I just don't think that it's been that these past 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.440 ten years and again I put that on the Giants, 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.280 where on the flip side, the Dodgers have had a 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.360 lot of success. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:32.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that the Buster's gonna, I think, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.240 start steering him in the direction that's gonna be more 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.840 nostalgic of those times because the Giants had a good 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.720 run there for a while. It's fun to have in 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.160 laws and you always seem to have a friend as 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.280 a Giants fan, and you can kind of jab at 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.160 each other in good fun. And I think that's what 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.520 you know is amazing about it and just keeping at 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.400 that point because I grew up hating Jack Hark and 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:04.600 just you know, Candlestick Park, and I just I know 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.199 that feeling. But it was good to channel it to 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.159 a good friendly competition. 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.320 Who's your most hated Giant, Sergio? 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:15.880 Oh, Barry Bond's no doubt. 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:17.880 Easy one to hate. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.560 Yeah, yeah, I was lucky to to hate on him 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.359 when the Angels beat them, and the it was on 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.520 my birthday on Game seven against the Angels, and we 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.919 were just we had to kind of teach the Angel 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.399 fans how to be rowdy to the Giants fans. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:35.600 I love it. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.320 Sergio appreciate the phone call Thank you so much for 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:41.920 checking him in here on NI seventy LA Sports. Thank 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.680 you for the kind words as well. As the Dodgers 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:48.719 defeat the Giants three to nothing. Tyler Glass. Now a 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:52.040 sparkling start from the lanky right hander. Let's go to 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.720 Jack in Santa Clara. Jack, what's up? 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:57.080 How you doing? 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:57.640 Calling you? 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.160 I'm doing wonderful, Jack. It's a beautiful Thursday afternoon. I'm 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.040 hosting Dodger Talk. It couldn't get better. 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:05.160 That's great. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.879 Yeah, So I'm up in Santa Clara, So Bay Area, 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.120 but I'm a Dodgers fan and I went to Game 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.679 one of this series where you know, the offense couldn't 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.879 get going. But as an eyewitness report, I'd like to 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.919 announce that the Dodgers Giants Roberly I've with the fans 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.440 at least, is still very much alive. I'm happy to 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:30.639 report that we don't have the Puegue Bumgardner animosity between 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.879 the players that we've had in the past. And of course, 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:37.000 like you said, the Giants aren't as competitive, have not 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.720 been as competitive as the Dodgers these past couple of years. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.600 But between the fans at Oracle Park, or as I 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.760 like to call it Dodger Stadium North. It was about 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.560 forty percent Dodger fans from what I could see. 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:51.160 That's incredible, Jack. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.679 I mean ten years ago, that would not be the 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.040 case at Oracle, where they were selling out every single season. 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:01.159 It'd be more like an eighty twenty or a seventy thirty. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.679 But you look at what it's become. I agree with you. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.879 I just back here at the studio, here in the 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.960 cheers when the Dodgers come out, when a good play 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.000 happens for the Dodgers, you can tell that it was 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.560 a good amount. There were a good amount of Dodger fans. Now, Jack, 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.360 I have to ask you a question at Oracle, what 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.280 were What'd you eat there at Oracle? I know they 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.400 have a lot of good dining options there. 0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:25.920 Well, I got the Classic. You got to get the 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.159 garlic fries. Those are pretty good. But I brought in 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:31.720 some food. I brought a sandwich in from a great 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:33.040 deli around San Francisco. 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.880 So love it, Jack, Well, appreciate the phone call, Thanks 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.880 so much for checking in here on Dodger Talk. As 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:43.359 the Dodgers defeat the Giants three to nothing, they salvage 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.040 the series. They go three and four on the road trip, 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.040 and now get ready for a six game homestand as 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.720 they'll take on the Cubs back at home. First pitch 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.360 at seven point fifteen James Tayon and Emmett Shean. Tomorrow 0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.480 six o'clock. Our coverage starts with the Marongo Casino Dodgers 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.520 on Debt Show and Tim Kates, and then three against 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:08.879 the Marlins. After that, David calling from Long Beach. David, 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.040 how you doing good? 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:11.399 Colin? 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:11.960 How are you? 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:13.879 I'm doing wonderful David. 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.199 Well, first of all, thank you for doing such a 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.359 great job. You know, I really appreciate, you know, taking 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.840 the time to talk to us. Yeah, we yeah, we 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.760 gotta win. Today's great win, Glasnew looked great. You know 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.560 we should have won the games in Colorado. But you know, 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:31.920 it is what it is. Like you said, it's only April. 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.119 But I will say there's one giant Dodger highlight that 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.440 you missed that I still get goosebumps thinking about. It 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:42.520 was the Steve Finley Grand Slam that won us a division. 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.240 Oh that was a big one. I remember watching that 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.800 in my living room. I believe I was eleven years old. 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:52.280 David and Steve Finley walk off Grand Slam. Actually we 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.439 played that was our Hofey moment of the day today 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.239 on the pregame show, David, so good call, goodpool on that. 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.280 And the Giants were up three nothing in that game, 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:05.200 and Steve Finley comes up and the game's tied three 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:08.639 to three. The Giants blow the lead, Steve Finley walks 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.040 it off and they win the division. 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.919 And I remember Vin Scully's words. Doctors came up and 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:19.240 they rolled a seven. Only Vin Scully, the great Vin Scully, 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.760 could come up with words like that, and I still 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:23.960 miss it. You know, he was a great guy, great 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:25.040 great play. 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:25.480 By play man. 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:27.240 David, I want it again. 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:29.760 Thank you for taking my call, thank you for doing 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.840 such a great villain job. And one other thing, I'll 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:36.040 leave you alone. Don't let Petro some Money pick on 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:36.560 you so much. 0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.160 I appreciate the kind words, David. Thank you so much. 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:43.760 Petros some money always in my corner, you know, they 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.600 get ont me sometimes, David, but I appreciate you. And 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:49.840 Petro's some money coming up in about ten fifteen minutes. 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.040 Thank you for the kind words. And yes, you're right, David, 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.000 a Hall of famer, Vin Scully the best to ever 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.639 do it. And it's an honor to even be working 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.320 at the same station where Vin Scully was the voice 0:22:01.359 --> 0:22:06.600 of the Dodgers. Nine eighty seven two five seventy is 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:09.520 the phone number. Eight sixty six. Nine eighty seven, two 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.960 five seventy is the phone number. What do you think 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.119 of this Dodger giant rivalry? Does it still have the 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:20.040 same steam that it had even ten years ago? I 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:23.000 know it's always been one of the great rivalries. And 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:26.959 like David mentioned, there's a lot of moments that you 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:30.520 can go back and look at over the course of history. 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.960 I mean I only went back to nineteen fifty one, 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:35.879 but if we continued to go back in time, there'd 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:39.159 be even more moments. Says let's go to Chris in 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.080 Huntington Beach. Hey, Chris, how you doing? 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:43.840 What's up man? How you doing? 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:44.159 Buddy? 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:50.320 Hey? So the Dodger San Francisco rivalry is dead. Unfortunately, 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:53.080 this is a real sad thing. I was in Colorado 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.919 literally a couple of nights ago. I mean Colorado Rockies 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:58.960 team to set the record for some of the most 0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.960 losses in history, and I just went there because I 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.040 was in town for business. Got the tail end of 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:09.280 the game and they're more passionate about their team than 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:12.560 the Giants. Like I would put the Giants right there 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:18.119 below the Rockies Diamondbacks and way below the Padres for 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:23.200 the most like heated rivalry. For the Dodgers, it's Dodgers Padres. Now, 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.960 those are the two best teams in the league. They 0:23:26.000 --> 0:23:29.760 are always fighting because their ownership believes in their teams. 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.800 I cannot, for the life of me even name a 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.439 single player on the Giants right now. I mean, I 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:38.840 don't even know who's on that team. I mean, can you, 0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:42.520 I mean without just off hand seriously, I mean, what's 0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.719 a common name, Colin, what do you think? Well feeling 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:46.040 on that? 0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:48.040 I mean, I did just watch the game, and I 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.040 you know, William Domins and Matt Chapman. But I agree 0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:54.960 with you, Chris, the steam the kind of animosity between 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:57.119 these two teams, it is gone. Now what I go 0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.840 as far to say that it surpassed the Rocky or 0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:02.919
