Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begune.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become
Speaker 2: the fifth.
Speaker 1: This is World Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Here we go again, Riga running back to get in on.
Speaker 1: The show called eight six six note eighty seven two
Speaker 1: five seventy and be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever
Speaker 1: you catch your podcasts. And now your host, here's Colin Yee.
Speaker 4: A happy flight for the Dodgers as they come back
Speaker 4: home with a win over the hated Ones, the Giants
Speaker 4: three to nothing behind an incredible start from Tyler Glass. Now,
Speaker 4: welcome in to Dodger Talk here on a five to
Speaker 4: seventy LA Sports, your home of the back to back
Speaker 4: World Series champion Dodgers calling at eight sixty six nine
Speaker 4: eight seven two five seventy. That's eight six six nine
Speaker 4: eight seven two five seventy. Is the Dodgers go three
Speaker 4: and four on the road trip. They're now seventeen and eight,
Speaker 4: tied with the Padres atop the NL West and just
Speaker 4: a half game behind the Atlanta Braves for the best
Speaker 4: record in baseball. Tyler Glass now boy was he awesome today.
Speaker 5: Eight innings, nine.
Speaker 4: Strikeouts, one hit, one walk, and Luisa Rise was the
Speaker 4: only Giant to reach base all game as Tanner Scott
Speaker 4: came in and cleaned things up in the ninth, the
Speaker 4: one two, three eighting for his.
Speaker 5: First save of the game.
Speaker 4: But Tyler Glass now now ten strikeouts away from eleven
Speaker 4: or one thousand career strikeouts, and the heart high product
Speaker 4: has really locked things in this season. This is someone
Speaker 4: who's so talented, who's long and lanky and really can
Speaker 4: use that height to his advantage, and I think at
Speaker 4: times he has, but he's dealt with a lot of injuries,
Speaker 4: he's dealt with the emotional, the mental part of the
Speaker 4: game that he struggled with admittedly so and previously the
Speaker 4: most starts he's had in a season, you have to
Speaker 4: go all the way back to twenty twenty four, his
Speaker 4: first year with the Dodgers, twenty two starts, one hundred
Speaker 4: and thirty four innings, that's his only All Star appearance,
Speaker 4: and the way that Tyler Glass now has started this season,
Speaker 4: he looks like he's not only in for another All
Speaker 4: Star appearance, but also a possible Cy Young candidate. You
Speaker 4: have three of them right now with Otan who has
Speaker 4: a three eight ere zero three eight era, yoshiob Yamamoto
Speaker 4: his eras around two four to eight, and Tyler Glass
Speaker 4: now now three and oh with a two four five er.
Speaker 4: It's just amazing the wealth of pitching that the Dogs have.
Speaker 4: You know, on the flip side, the bats have been called,
Speaker 4: as David Vassell likes to say, consado and the bats
Speaker 4: today again weren't great. Three runs on the board, but
Speaker 4: the top of the order was one for thirteen with
Speaker 4: two strikeouts and the bottom of the order four for
Speaker 4: nine with two ribbies. So it's been the bottom of
Speaker 4: the order so far this season carrying this team. Andy
Speaker 4: Pah has what he's done first twenty five games of
Speaker 4: the year, He's been awesome, Dalton rushing in just ten games,
Speaker 4: fourteen RBI, hiss On Kim hitting three twenty four. So
Speaker 4: the bottom of the lineup carrying this Dodger team, and
Speaker 4: really that's scary for the rest of the league. If
Speaker 4: you told me that the top of the lineup you
Speaker 4: don't have Mookie Betts, shoeyo Atani is hitting two forty five,
Speaker 4: Tasker Hernandez is hitting two forty four. He had a
Speaker 4: tough road trip where he was two for twenty four
Speaker 4: with eight strikeouts. Kyle Tucker also a tough road trip,
Speaker 4: and he's been in the top of the order as
Speaker 4: well up until today, where they moved him to the
Speaker 4: cleanup spot. But on this road trip he was seven
Speaker 4: for twenty seven, not great as well eight strikeouts, although
Speaker 4: today he was two for four. So you hope that movement,
Speaker 4: that change in the lineup will get Kyle Tucker back
Speaker 4: to where he should be. But it's scary for the
Speaker 4: rest of the league. If the top of the lineup
Speaker 4: is not performing and the Dodgers are still seventeen and
Speaker 4: eight with one of the best records in baseball, that's scary,
Speaker 4: not great news if you're the rest of the league.
Speaker 5: And I know it seems that.
Speaker 4: This was a bad road trip, and it was you
Speaker 4: go three and four against to the bottom tier teams
Speaker 4: in the NL West. I mean, I admit going into
Speaker 4: this series, I looked at the seven game road trip
Speaker 4: and I thought, okay, well, Colorado might be tough. It's
Speaker 4: always a tough series, so you might drop one there
Speaker 4: and maybe you drop one in Oracle. But five and
Speaker 4: two is what I saw as a pretty realistic outcome
Speaker 4: for this seven game road trip, and five and two
Speaker 4: would have been pretty good. All of a sudden, then
Speaker 4: you're nineteen and six and you have the best record
Speaker 4: in baseball and the best start for the Dodgers in
Speaker 4: a long time. In fact, I went back and looked
Speaker 4: at the previous five years starts for the Dodgers through
Speaker 4: the first twenty five games, because it really puts into
Speaker 4: perspective what you're looking for in those first twenty five
Speaker 4: games and allows you to not panic. Not saying that
Speaker 4: Dodger fans are panicking, but even after this road trip,
Speaker 4: you probably don't feel too good about going three and four.
Speaker 4: But in twenty twenty one, that was the season where
Speaker 4: the Dodgers and Giants were going back and forth for
Speaker 4: the NL West Division title, and the Giants came out
Speaker 4: on top by one game. Of course, the Dodgers beat
Speaker 4: them on that Wilmer Flores check swing, Max Schurz are
Speaker 4: screaming off the mound and won that NLDS. The Dodgers
Speaker 4: won one hundred and six games that year. They went
Speaker 4: sixteen and nine, So already you're on a better pace.
Speaker 5: Than that team.
Speaker 4: The twenty two that was a record year for the
Speaker 4: Dodgers one hundred and eleven games, a franchise record for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers that season. They started the year eighteen and seven.
Speaker 4: Of course, lost in the Division series to the Padres.
Speaker 4: In twenty three, thirteen and twelve they won one hundred games,
Speaker 4: and they started thirteen and twelve still won one hundred games.
Speaker 4: Of course, lost to the Diamondbacks that year in twenty
Speaker 4: four and twenty five. Their championship years fourteen and eleven
Speaker 4: was the start in last year sixteen and nine. So
Speaker 4: already this team going for that three peat a better
Speaker 4: start through twenty five games than the last two title runs.
Speaker 4: And again that's all that matters, that you're holding that
Speaker 4: trophy at the end of the season and the Dodgers
Speaker 4: trying to become just the fifth team in Major League
Speaker 4: Baseball history to three pat and the first team in
Speaker 4: the NL. The Yankees did it three times and Athletics
Speaker 4: once in the seventies. But for the Dodgers, have to
Speaker 4: feel good coming home seventeen and eight through twenty five
Speaker 4: games and you're not even clicking on all cylinders. The
Speaker 4: top of your lineup is still trying to figure things out.
Speaker 4: Shoe Aotawni one for thirteen against the Giants with five strikeouts,
Speaker 4: zero for five with two strikeouts today, He's going to
Speaker 4: figure it out. Kyle Tucker starting to look a little
Speaker 4: bit better, especially today. Came into the game five for
Speaker 4: twenty three, but two for four today. You know, Tasker
Speaker 4: Hernandez is going to be big down the stretch. And
Speaker 4: then you get Mookie Betts back. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 4: Blake Snell he's also coming back. That's another pretty good
Speaker 4: pitcher that you can add to this staff. Nine eighty seven,
Speaker 4: two five seventy is the phone number calling ye filling
Speaker 4: in for Tim Kates on this Dodger Talk. Tim Kates
Speaker 4: just want to give a special shout out to him,
Speaker 4: thank him for this opportunity along with Brian Long and
Speaker 4: Brian Blackmore. But a congratulations to Tim Kates on his daughter,
Speaker 4: Laila's graduation at Grand Canyon University in just three years.
Speaker 4: What an accomplishment for Layla Kates. We'll get your phone
Speaker 4: calls in just a bit. Also here from Tyler Glass now,
Speaker 4: but I wanted to talk about Dalton Rushing and what
Speaker 4: he's done. He's been awesome coming off the bench, fitting
Speaker 4: any role, whether it be the dh playing first base catching,
Speaker 4: Dalton Rushing is doing a lot in his ten games.
Speaker 4: Fourteen rbi in just ten games for young Dalton Rushing
Speaker 4: and again today coming up in the clutch four hundred
Speaker 4: with runners in scoring position, and he popped the lid
Speaker 4: off this game for the Dodgers, who hadn't scored with
Speaker 4: a hit since the Rockies game. The only run that
Speaker 4: they got in the first game was a Hey Song
Speaker 4: Kim Rbi walk and then they were shut out yesterday,
Speaker 4: so Rushing starts the scoring in the top of the second.
Speaker 4: He was huge and has been huge for the Dodgers
Speaker 4: all season long. Just an incredible, incredible job by Dalton
Speaker 4: Rushing eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Speaker 4: Also wanted to get your thoughts on the Dodger Giant rivalry.
Speaker 4: Is it still one of the best rivalries in sports?
Speaker 4: Because when I was growing up, it was always my
Speaker 4: favorite thing to watch. One of the best rivalries that
Speaker 4: you could watch in all of sports. I would say
Speaker 4: the second best in baseball and at top ten, if
Speaker 4: not top five. I have rivalry in all of baseball.
Speaker 4: And we played the two thousand and four walk off
Speaker 4: home run from Steve Finley. You think back all the
Speaker 4: way to nineteen fifty one and Bobby Thompson shot herd
Speaker 4: around the world, Juan Marichale and John Roseboro in a
Speaker 4: brawl in sixty five, Brian Johnson with a walk off
Speaker 4: home run in ninety seven. How about Madison Bumgarner feuding
Speaker 4: with Puigue and Munsey telling him.
Speaker 5: To go get it out of the water.
Speaker 4: And then the twenty twenty one Division race, probably most recently,
Speaker 4: what we remember about this rivalry the Czech swing from
Speaker 4: Wilmer Flores and the Dodgers. Although they don't win the title,
Speaker 4: they win the NLDS. And I'll tell you why the
Speaker 4: rivalry is not what it once was. It's all on
Speaker 4: the San Francisco Giants. They have not been a good
Speaker 4: organization these last ten years. You look at twenty seventeen.
Speaker 4: Since twenty seventeen, if we count this year, that's ten years,
Speaker 4: the Giants have one season where they've had a record
Speaker 4: over five hundred. It's just not acceptable if you're a
Speaker 4: storied franchise like the San Francisco Giants. And that one
Speaker 4: season was that twenty twenty one season kind of a
Speaker 4: miracle year. One last hurrah for Buster Posey and Company.
Speaker 4: The Dodgers, on the other hand, since twenty seventeen, how
Speaker 4: about five World Series appearances, three World Series titles, every
Speaker 4: year going to the playoffs winning a division title except
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one.
Speaker 5: And that's what has led to the rivalry feeling a
Speaker 5: little flat. When you look at what.
Speaker 4: The Padre Dodger rivalry is all of a sudden turned
Speaker 4: into in the last ten years. It's been heated, there's
Speaker 4: been fights, there's been jawing at each other. You have
Speaker 4: the Padres putting up a Clayton Kershaw meme on their scoreboard.
Speaker 4: The Padres have been more of a rival than the
Speaker 4: Giants in the past ten years. And it's because of
Speaker 4: not only the playoff matchups that they've had, of course,
Speaker 4: three playoff matchups since twenty seventeen, the one in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty and then twenty two where the Padres beat that
Speaker 4: really good Dodger team, the franchise record Dodger team, and
Speaker 4: then the Dodgers getting them back in twenty four after
Speaker 4: being down two to zero in that series, and the
Speaker 4: Dodgers storming back and carrying that momentum into the World Series.
Speaker 4: It's been a rivalry.
Speaker 5: Where you just don't like the Padres.
Speaker 4: Manny Machado gets all the booze, Fernando Todatis with his
Speaker 4: lax of daisical style of play, Jake Ronan Worth easy
Speaker 4: to not like the Padres, but the Giants. Is there
Speaker 4: anyone really on that team that you don't like? Everyone's
Speaker 4: pretty sterile when it comes to the Giants. There's not
Speaker 4: someone that you can hate. And we saw a little
Speaker 4: bit of it though in this series, a little fire
Speaker 4: when it came to Dalton Rushing possibly saying something to
Speaker 4: Junghu Lee and the media taking that going with it.
Speaker 4: Dalton rushing again saying I was not directing that at
Speaker 4: Jung Hu Lee on that play at the plate, but
Speaker 4: Logan Webb's standing up for his teammate and hitting him,
Speaker 4: and then Dalton rushing with a hard slide. You had
Speaker 4: a little taste of the rivalry, but I think it's
Speaker 4: gonna take some more success from the Giants. There's just
Speaker 4: some better play overall from them to really make this
Speaker 4: into the rivalry that it should be.
Speaker 5: Eight six six.
Speaker 4: Ninety seven seventy is the phone number calling you filling
Speaker 4: in for Tim Kates on Dodger Talk, on m five
Speaker 4: to seventy LA Sports Dodger Baseball, brought to you by
Speaker 4: Modello Modello the mark of a fighter. Let's go out
Speaker 4: to the phones. Let's check in with Sergio and Azuza. Sergio,
Speaker 4: how you doing good?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 6: Hey, congrats to the Kates family, and congrats to you
Speaker 6: at this shop. Buddy doing great.
Speaker 3: Hey.
Speaker 6: I wanted to let you know, don't forget Reggie going
Speaker 6: into the stands and didn't Didn't that other Dodger have
Speaker 6: a problem too? You had a melt down in San Francisco, Bradley,
Speaker 6: So Builton Bradley crazy times. Yes, yes, yep, I remember
Speaker 6: Reggie Smith going into the stands and taking care of business.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot, right, Serge. You appreciate the kind
Speaker 4: words too. There's been a lot of bad blood over
Speaker 4: the years, and it's gone back. It's over one hundred years.
Speaker 4: I mean, you look at this series, Sergio, twelve ninety
Speaker 4: to twelve eighty nine, with seventeen ties, only one more
Speaker 4: win for the Giants over the course of this series
Speaker 4: in the regular season. It's one of the best rivalries
Speaker 4: in baseball.
Speaker 5: Sergio.
Speaker 4: I just don't think that it's been that these past
Speaker 4: ten years and again I put that on the Giants,
Speaker 4: where on the flip side, the Dodgers have had a
Speaker 4: lot of success.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that the Buster's gonna, I think,
Speaker 6: start steering him in the direction that's gonna be more
Speaker 6: nostalgic of those times because the Giants had a good
Speaker 6: run there for a while. It's fun to have in
Speaker 6: laws and you always seem to have a friend as
Speaker 6: a Giants fan, and you can kind of jab at
Speaker 6: each other in good fun. And I think that's what
Speaker 6: you know is amazing about it and just keeping at
Speaker 6: that point because I grew up hating Jack Hark and
Speaker 6: just you know, Candlestick Park, and I just I know
Speaker 6: that feeling. But it was good to channel it to
Speaker 6: a good friendly competition.
Speaker 5: Who's your most hated Giant, Sergio?
Speaker 6: Oh, Barry Bond's no doubt.
Speaker 5: Easy one to hate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I was lucky to to hate on him
Speaker 6: when the Angels beat them, and the it was on
Speaker 6: my birthday on Game seven against the Angels, and we
Speaker 6: were just we had to kind of teach the Angel
Speaker 6: fans how to be rowdy to the Giants fans.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 4: Sergio appreciate the phone call Thank you so much for
Speaker 4: checking him in here on NI seventy LA Sports. Thank
Speaker 4: you for the kind words as well. As the Dodgers
Speaker 4: defeat the Giants three to nothing. Tyler Glass. Now a
Speaker 4: sparkling start from the lanky right hander. Let's go to
Speaker 4: Jack in Santa Clara. Jack, what's up?
Speaker 6: How you doing?
Speaker 7: Calling you?
Speaker 4: I'm doing wonderful, Jack. It's a beautiful Thursday afternoon. I'm
Speaker 4: hosting Dodger Talk. It couldn't get better.
Speaker 8: That's great.
Speaker 9: Yeah, So I'm up in Santa Clara, So Bay Area,
Speaker 9: but I'm a Dodgers fan and I went to Game
Speaker 9: one of this series where you know, the offense couldn't
Speaker 9: get going. But as an eyewitness report, I'd like to
Speaker 9: announce that the Dodgers Giants Roberly I've with the fans
Speaker 9: at least, is still very much alive. I'm happy to
Speaker 9: report that we don't have the Puegue Bumgardner animosity between
Speaker 9: the players that we've had in the past. And of course,
Speaker 9: like you said, the Giants aren't as competitive, have not
Speaker 9: been as competitive as the Dodgers these past couple of years.
Speaker 9: But between the fans at Oracle Park, or as I
Speaker 9: like to call it Dodger Stadium North. It was about
Speaker 9: forty percent Dodger fans from what I could see.
Speaker 5: That's incredible, Jack.
Speaker 4: I mean ten years ago, that would not be the
Speaker 4: case at Oracle, where they were selling out every single season.
Speaker 4: It'd be more like an eighty twenty or a seventy thirty.
Speaker 4: But you look at what it's become. I agree with you.
Speaker 4: I just back here at the studio, here in the
Speaker 4: cheers when the Dodgers come out, when a good play
Speaker 4: happens for the Dodgers, you can tell that it was
Speaker 4: a good amount. There were a good amount of Dodger fans. Now, Jack,
Speaker 4: I have to ask you a question at Oracle, what
Speaker 4: were What'd you eat there at Oracle? I know they
Speaker 4: have a lot of good dining options there.
Speaker 9: Well, I got the Classic. You got to get the
Speaker 9: garlic fries. Those are pretty good. But I brought in
Speaker 9: some food. I brought a sandwich in from a great
Speaker 9: deli around San Francisco.
Speaker 4: So love it, Jack, Well, appreciate the phone call, Thanks
Speaker 4: so much for checking in here on Dodger Talk. As
Speaker 4: the Dodgers defeat the Giants three to nothing, they salvage
Speaker 4: the series. They go three and four on the road trip,
Speaker 4: and now get ready for a six game homestand as
Speaker 4: they'll take on the Cubs back at home. First pitch
Speaker 4: at seven point fifteen James Tayon and Emmett Shean. Tomorrow
Speaker 4: six o'clock. Our coverage starts with the Marongo Casino Dodgers
Speaker 4: on Debt Show and Tim Kates, and then three against
Speaker 4: the Marlins. After that, David calling from Long Beach. David,
Speaker 4: how you doing good?
Speaker 10: Colin?
Speaker 11: How are you?
Speaker 5: I'm doing wonderful David.
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, thank you for doing such a
Speaker 11: great job. You know, I really appreciate, you know, taking
Speaker 11: the time to talk to us. Yeah, we yeah, we
Speaker 11: gotta win. Today's great win, Glasnew looked great. You know
Speaker 11: we should have won the games in Colorado. But you know,
Speaker 11: it is what it is. Like you said, it's only April.
Speaker 11: But I will say there's one giant Dodger highlight that
Speaker 11: you missed that I still get goosebumps thinking about. It
Speaker 11: was the Steve Finley Grand Slam that won us a division.
Speaker 4: Oh that was a big one. I remember watching that
Speaker 4: in my living room. I believe I was eleven years old.
Speaker 4: David and Steve Finley walk off Grand Slam. Actually we
Speaker 4: played that was our Hofey moment of the day today
Speaker 4: on the pregame show, David, so good call, goodpool on that.
Speaker 4: And the Giants were up three nothing in that game,
Speaker 4: and Steve Finley comes up and the game's tied three
Speaker 4: to three. The Giants blow the lead, Steve Finley walks
Speaker 4: it off and they win the division.
Speaker 11: And I remember Vin Scully's words. Doctors came up and
Speaker 11: they rolled a seven. Only Vin Scully, the great Vin Scully,
Speaker 11: could come up with words like that, and I still
Speaker 11: miss it. You know, he was a great guy, great
Speaker 11: great play.
Speaker 3: By play man.
Speaker 5: David, I want it again.
Speaker 11: Thank you for taking my call, thank you for doing
Speaker 11: such a great villain job. And one other thing, I'll
Speaker 11: leave you alone. Don't let Petro some Money pick on
Speaker 11: you so much.
Speaker 5: I appreciate the kind words, David. Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Petros some money always in my corner, you know, they
Speaker 4: get ont me sometimes, David, but I appreciate you. And
Speaker 4: Petro's some money coming up in about ten fifteen minutes.
Speaker 4: Thank you for the kind words. And yes, you're right, David,
Speaker 4: a Hall of famer, Vin Scully the best to ever
Speaker 4: do it. And it's an honor to even be working
Speaker 4: at the same station where Vin Scully was the voice
Speaker 4: of the Dodgers. Nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 4: the phone number. Eight sixty six. Nine eighty seven, two
Speaker 4: five seventy is the phone number. What do you think
Speaker 4: of this Dodger giant rivalry? Does it still have the
Speaker 4: same steam that it had even ten years ago? I
Speaker 4: know it's always been one of the great rivalries. And
Speaker 4: like David mentioned, there's a lot of moments that you
Speaker 4: can go back and look at over the course of history.
Speaker 4: I mean I only went back to nineteen fifty one,
Speaker 4: but if we continued to go back in time, there'd
Speaker 4: be even more moments. Says let's go to Chris in
Speaker 4: Huntington Beach. Hey, Chris, how you doing?
Speaker 12: What's up man? How you doing?
Speaker 3: Buddy?
Speaker 12: Hey? So the Dodger San Francisco rivalry is dead. Unfortunately,
Speaker 12: this is a real sad thing. I was in Colorado
Speaker 12: literally a couple of nights ago. I mean Colorado Rockies
Speaker 12: team to set the record for some of the most
Speaker 12: losses in history, and I just went there because I
Speaker 12: was in town for business. Got the tail end of
Speaker 12: the game and they're more passionate about their team than
Speaker 12: the Giants. Like I would put the Giants right there
Speaker 12: below the Rockies Diamondbacks and way below the Padres for
Speaker 12: the most like heated rivalry. For the Dodgers, it's Dodgers Padres. Now,
Speaker 12: those are the two best teams in the league. They
Speaker 12: are always fighting because their ownership believes in their teams.
Speaker 12: I cannot, for the life of me even name a
Speaker 12: single player on the Giants right now. I mean, I
Speaker 12: don't even know who's on that team. I mean, can you,
Speaker 12: I mean without just off hand seriously, I mean, what's
Speaker 12: a common name, Colin, what do you think? Well feeling
Speaker 12: on that?
Speaker 4: I mean, I did just watch the game, and I
Speaker 4: you know, William Domins and Matt Chapman. But I agree
Speaker 4: with you, Chris, the steam the kind of animosity between
Speaker 4: these two teams, it is gone. Now what I go
Speaker 4: as far to say that it surpassed the Rocky or
Speaker 4: the Rockies and the Diamondbacks have surpassed them. No, I
Speaker 4: would not, but I agree with you, Chris that the
Speaker 4: Padres have passed them up in recent history. Now that
Speaker 4: can change, but it's up to the Giants to do that,
Speaker 4: right you need a partner, You need a dancing partner
Speaker 4: in the ring when you're the Dodgers, and right now
Speaker 4: they haven't been the toughest sparring partner in that ring. Now,
Speaker 4: I know the Giants one two out of three, and
Speaker 4: the rivalry got a little bit more of a taste.
Speaker 5: We got a little bit.
Speaker 4: More of a taste here as we moved into this
Speaker 4: game with Dalton Rushing kind of igniting it with the
Speaker 4: Junghu Lee thing, and now they throw it Jung Hul
Speaker 4: or they throw at Dalton Rushing today. But I'm with you, Chris.
Speaker 4: I think this is something that needs to be revisited.
Speaker 4: And for the Giants, it's up to them. They have
Speaker 4: to pull their side of the bargain. Appreciate the call, Chris,
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for tuning in here on this
Speaker 4: Thursday afternoon, beautiful Thursday afternoon here in Los Angeles. It's
Speaker 4: a in five seventy LA Sports. Tyler Glass Now was
Speaker 4: tremendous today, eight shutout innings, one hit, one walk, no runs,
Speaker 4: nine strikeouts. Tyler Glass Now talked to the media a
Speaker 4: while ago. It's here from the right hander.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think just a little tense early on kind
Speaker 7: of trying a little too hard, And I think as
Speaker 7: a game went on, I was just thinking about keeping
Speaker 7: my hands and my body loose and talking with Connor
Speaker 7: and marking between and I just think I got into
Speaker 7: a good place as.
Speaker 12: A game on.
Speaker 5: You look at just how you were navigating through their lineup.
Speaker 13: I mean last week with Denver it was a little
Speaker 13: bit more fastball heavy, this today more sinker.
Speaker 5: Is that just feel or was that more game plan
Speaker 5: for you? A little bit of both.
Speaker 7: I think not throwing it last week put me in
Speaker 7: a good spot to like show it a lot more,
Speaker 7: and I think just throwing it in the game it
Speaker 7: just felt a lot better too.
Speaker 5: It was more behind it.
Speaker 7: I could locate it a little bit more, and yeah,
Speaker 7: Slider felt good off of it, So I think it
Speaker 7: was more probably probably both.
Speaker 2: Today was the same kind of trend that you had
Speaker 2: this entire season where a lot of your strikeouts are
Speaker 2: coming with the curve ball. How have you been able
Speaker 2: to shape the two different type of curve balls to
Speaker 2: use it as that strikeout pitch?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think just like early on trying to throw
Speaker 7: it for strikes, to throw a little slower like spike it,
Speaker 7: and then when I want to put a guy away
Speaker 7: with it, I'll just keep both fingers on it and
Speaker 7: just try to throw it hard. But I think that
Speaker 7: got a little better as a game when I was
Speaker 7: a little inconsistent, But I had a good feel with
Speaker 7: it overall.
Speaker 2: When you've come out of the game and you see
Speaker 2: one hit, do you think back to arise a single
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning? Or you can't think that way?
Speaker 7: No, I think it's early enough to like if it
Speaker 7: happened in like the seventh or the eighth maybe, but
Speaker 7: I think it was just what the fourth inning when
Speaker 7: it happened, So I don't really think about it.
Speaker 14: It was the process of kind of like reincorporating that
Speaker 14: sinker as a more like kind of primary pitch for
Speaker 14: you over the last couple of years.
Speaker 10: Like what has it given you now, especially on like
Speaker 10: days like today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think just happened two heaters in general, Like
Speaker 7: it's not especially if it's like inconsistent. It's like one
Speaker 7: of two options. I think some days of four scene works,
Speaker 7: some days the two scene works. It's just having like
Speaker 7: another option to go to and thenaming binding it kind
Speaker 7: of changes as well. So I think it just kind
Speaker 7: of gives me, like my four seam cuts a little bit,
Speaker 7: and then the two seam runs quite a bit, so
Speaker 7: it's just like so much to cover, and then I
Speaker 7: can play my slider and my curveball off of those.
Speaker 5: So it's It's really.
Speaker 7: Helped me out a lot, and I think starting to
Speaker 7: incorporate it more has been like maybe pitching a lot.
Speaker 3: Easier for sure.
Speaker 4: There's Tyler Glass now with the media after the game again.
Speaker 4: Eight shutout innings for Tyler Glass now, who's now three
Speaker 4: and oh with a two four or five ERA and

Speaker 14: Question of the rivalry, it's always great when both the
Speaker 14: Giants and the Dodgers are doing really well and battling for.
Speaker 5: That UH Division title at the end of the year.
Speaker 12: But it's also it's.
Speaker 14: Also really cool when one's doing well and the other
Speaker 14: knocks him out at the end of the year. I
Speaker 14: can still remember when the Dodgers took it to Solomon
Speaker 14: Torres on the last day of the of the season,
Speaker 14: and it was the Dodgers had no chance for her title,
Speaker 14: but knocking the Giants out was just as good.
Speaker 4: No, you bring up a good point there, Bruce. Thank
Speaker 4: you for the kind words on the phone call. Yeah,
Speaker 4: in ninety three, Giants had over one hundred wins that year.
Speaker 4: They were knocked out by the Dodgers and the Braves
Speaker 4: went on in the playoffs. Brian Johnson with the walk
Speaker 4: off home run in ninety seven and sixty two, a
Speaker 4: three game tiebreaker to decide the pennant. And then we
Speaker 4: mentioned Steve Finley, the knockout Grand Slam by Steve Finley.

Speaker 4: fourteen RBI over ten games, and the backstop who's also

Speaker 4: ye filling in for Tim Kats here on this Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 4: Let's go back out to the phones. Let's go to
Speaker 4: Jeff in San Francisco. Jeff, how you.
Speaker 11: Doing, Hey, Colin, I'm doing good.
Speaker 8: How about yourself?
Speaker 4: I'm doing wonderful. You're you're up in San Francisco.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I just couldn't say quiet after was it? Jack and
Speaker 8: Santa Clara? How could you be a Dodgers fan in
Speaker 8: the Bay Area? That's what I That's my first question.
Speaker 8: Only he could answer that. Secondly, I just wanted to
Speaker 8: say I was there for the first two games in
Speaker 8: the series and it was, like you said, maybe eighty
Speaker 8: percent Dodgers fan. So that was a little heartbreaking to see.
Speaker 8: And if there's any Giants fans listening, we got to
Speaker 8: step it up. I have a feeling that the only
Speaker 8: reason why the Dodgers won today was because today's game
Speaker 8: was during the workday, and all the Giants fans are
Speaker 8: employed in the Dodgers fans had nothing else to do
Speaker 8: but to haggle our poor Giants players. That's kind of
Speaker 8: what I'm sticking.
Speaker 4: With, all right, Thank you so much for the phone call, Jeff.
Speaker 4: First hand report from Jeff in San Francisco. Obviously a
Speaker 4: Giants fan and disappointed in Jack and Santa Clara for
Speaker 4: being a Dodger fan, but he was at the game
Speaker 4: and had his own bird's eye view able to say that, yes,
Speaker 4: there were more Dodger fans at the game. And again
Speaker 4: that's something that wouldn't have happened ten years ago in
Speaker 4: this rivalry, right, it would have been eighty twenty the
Speaker 4: other way, when the Giants were consistently selling out. When
Speaker 4: you looked at what they were able to do in
Speaker 4: those championship runs in ten, twelve and fourteen, there were
Speaker 4: not Dodger fans taking over Oracle Park or eight and
Speaker 4: T and T. And in this case right now, Dodger
Speaker 4: fans are ruling across not just southern California, but also
Speaker 4: in the Bay Area.
Speaker 5: And if you.
Speaker 4: Want a real rivalry, that's something that needs to change.
Speaker 4: Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 4: phone number. Want to make one quick note on show
Speaker 4: hey Otani, who has struggled over the past couple of weeks.
Speaker 5: At the plate.
Speaker 4: He has been phenomenal on the mound right an three
Speaker 4: eight er twenty five strikeouts in twenty four innings. But
Speaker 4: for show, hey, at the plate, he's still trying to
Speaker 4: figure things out. And Jose Mota joined us in the
Speaker 4: postgame Clubhouse show and talked about what Otani's doing, pulling
Speaker 4: off the ball, getting to pool heavy. There's a couple
Speaker 4: of things that he needs to fix. But if this
Speaker 4: Dodger offense wants to get back on track, I know,
Speaker 4: I said, you know, don't panic, it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 4: You're seventeen to eight, second best record in baseball. Show
Speaker 4: heo Tani needs to get back on track in the
Speaker 4: batter's box. One for thirteen with five strikeouts in the
Speaker 4: Giant Series, zero for five with two strikeouts today, and
Speaker 4: you know he will that. He was talking to David
Speaker 4: Vasse earlier in the season and said, my aprils are
Speaker 4: a little slow. And for show, Aotani, Yeah, you look
Speaker 4: at what he's done so far.
Speaker 5: It's not the worst.
Speaker 4: He's still hitting two forty five, which is not great,
Speaker 4: but an eight twelve ops which is pretty solid. He
Speaker 4: had that fifty three game on bass streak up to
Speaker 4: last night Tyne Sean Green, so he's still doing some
Speaker 4: things offensively, but it just doesn't look like the show,
Speaker 4: Heyotanni that we've seen these first two seasons. He does
Speaker 4: have five home runs and eleven RBI and he's walked
Speaker 4: sixteen times, but again the batting average a little low
Speaker 4: and too many strikeouts for show Halo Tani, who, regardless
Speaker 4: of what he's doing at the plate is he looks
Speaker 4: like a cy young candidate this season and he's looking
Speaker 4: to add that to his trophy case. Let's go out
Speaker 4: to Daniel and Ventura. I love Ventura. Daniel, how you doing.
Speaker 13: How's it going, Colin?
Speaker 5: Eh, it's going well.
Speaker 13: That's awesome, bro. But hey, just talking about the Dodger
Speaker 13: Giants rivalry as a recent You know what, Dodgers Giants
Speaker 13: usually do do play pretty good baseball when they're playing
Speaker 13: each other, either in San Francisco or in Los Angeles.
Speaker 13: But we definitely have some memoral games with the Dodger Giants,
Speaker 13: like throw back to twenty thirteen, Clayton Kershaw hit his
Speaker 13: first and only career home run against the Giants, and
Speaker 13: then also back in two thousand and nine when the
Speaker 13: Dodgers played the Giants, Orlando Hudson hit for the cycle
Speaker 13: against the Giants. So a lot of memory.
Speaker 4: You make great points there at, Daniel, there's a lot
Speaker 4: and some that we kind of forget, right, Daniel, because
Speaker 4: twenty thirteen, twenty fifteen, those seem like a while ago
Speaker 4: and maybe something that we didn't highlight today. Those were
Speaker 4: great moments. Clayton Kershaw. I still remember that game where
Speaker 4: he kind of did everything. He was show Aotani that day,
Speaker 4: and yeah, so there have been a lot of good moments, Daniel.
Speaker 4: What I'm trying to say, though, is where are these
Speaker 4: moments more recently? Where have the moments been, because we're
Speaker 4: missing them And really one of the only big moments
Speaker 4: in this rivalry has been twenty twenty one, where the
Speaker 4: whole summer and into the fall the teams went back
Speaker 4: and forth. There's the check swing, the miss check swing
Speaker 4: call on Darren Ruff. Earlier in that season, there was
Speaker 4: the Mike Takman robbing of the home run of Albert Poolholz.
Speaker 4: There was again in the playoffs, you go to that
Speaker 4: epic series, five game series that ends in a Wilmer
Speaker 4: Flores check swing. But other than twenty twenty one, Daniel,
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think. I know, Pat Bailey had a
Speaker 4: big walk off Grand Slam. Other than that, the moments
Speaker 4: have been few and far between, and it's because the
Speaker 4: Dodgers have been so good.
Speaker 5: Exactly appreciate your phone call. Thank you so much.
Speaker 13: Dan.
Speaker 4: You'll have a wonderful rest of your day. Eight six six,
Speaker 4: nine eighty seven two five seventy. The Dodgers defeat the
Speaker 4: Giants three to nothing. We'll take one more phone call
Speaker 4: before we sign off here and hand it off to Petris.
Speaker 5: Some money.
Speaker 4: Steve in Sherman Oaks, Steve, Welcome to Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. I wanted to call in way
Speaker 3: in on this question that you've posed. I think that
Speaker 3: I agree. It's the tables have turned. It's been more
Speaker 3: like the heated rivalry is between the Padres growing up.
Speaker 3: I actually I grew up a Yankee fan in the
Speaker 3: nineties and early two thousands, and they broke my heart
Speaker 3: when they knocked down the original stadium. And so when
Speaker 3: I moved out here in twenty twelve, I quickly adopted
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, and when I had enough money, became a
Speaker 3: season ticket holder. And god, I got to say, like,
Speaker 3: it's electric what the Padres have done the last five years.
Speaker 3: It's turned this situation totally hostile. Those playoffs games, even
Speaker 3: the regular season games. I mean, now the Padres g
Speaker 3: o lock out the Dodgers fans from being able to
Speaker 3: buy tickets to their home games. It feels much more
Speaker 3: vitriolic than the Giants these days.
Speaker 4: I'm one hundred percent with you, Steve. It just doesn't
Speaker 4: feel the same. Growing up, the Dodgers and Giants' rivalry
Speaker 4: was one hourys looked forward to. It was one that
Speaker 4: every time you tuned in, it was appointment television. And
Speaker 4: it hasn't been that way these past ten years. And
Speaker 4: on the flip side to your point, Steve, the Padres Dodgers,
Speaker 4: I love watching that series because you know, you might
Speaker 4: get a bench's clearing brawl. You might see Manny Machado
Speaker 4: go at it with Dave Roberts. You might see Fernando
Speaker 4: Tatis get in the mix, and Clayton Kershaw get fired up.
Speaker 4: That's what I've loved about these previous years, where the
Speaker 4: Padres and Dodgers they mix it up and their fans
Speaker 4: mix it up as well. And for the Dodgers Giants rivalry,
Speaker 4: appreciate the phone call, Steve. For the Dodgers Giants rivalry
Speaker 4: to get back on track. It's gonna take the Giants
Speaker 4: getting back to being a quality organization. Well, that's gonna
Speaker 4: do it for us here on Dodger Talk. Many thanks. First,
Speaker 4: I want to give all the glory to God for
Speaker 4: this opportunity. I wanna thank the Dodgers organization. Brian Long,
Speaker 4: Brian Blackmore, a huge shout out to Tim Kates. Congratulations
Speaker 4: to Lala Kates, but Tim just for this opportunity. To
Speaker 4: David Vassa, to Dwayne McDonald and they're trust in me
Speaker 4: as well as Rick Monday and Steve Van Nelson in
Speaker 4: their words of encouragement. Finally, Ronnie Fossio appreciate all his
Speaker 4: help this afternoon. Once again, the final score of the
