Speaker 1: The quest for the three feat has begun.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth.
Speaker 1: This is World Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4: Here we go again.
Speaker 3: We're geta running back to.
Speaker 1: Get in on the show called eight six six, not
Speaker 1: eighty seven, two five seventy, and be sure to follow
Speaker 1: Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts. Here's your host,
Speaker 1: David Vase.
Speaker 2: Last thing, the Dodgers cruise to a nine to two
Speaker 2: win over the Angels tonight at Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 2: Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase with you until eleven
Speaker 2: o'clock tonight at eight sixty six nine eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy.
Speaker 3: We've got a great show for you tonight.
Speaker 2: Jose Mota is going to check in in about ten minutes.
Speaker 2: But later in the show you'll hear my conversation with
Speaker 2: the newest Ram Miles Garrett, who throughout the ceremonial first
Speaker 2: pitch tonight and it was a perfect strike. Everybody celebrated
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett. It's great to have him here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: He got a tour of the Dodger clubhouse guys, where
Speaker 2: fan boying out is what my understanding is. You know,
Speaker 2: it's funny how when you meet your Dodger heroes, Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 2: Mookie Beds, Kershaw, any of these guys, you're the one
Speaker 2: that's going nuts over meeting these type of players. But
Speaker 2: it's interesting when you see guys like them really become
Speaker 2: a fan when they see a player like Miles Garrett
Speaker 2: in their clubhouse. So it was fun to have Miles
Speaker 2: Garrett here at Dodger Stadium tonight. It's great to have
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett as part of the ramilly moving forward. And
Speaker 2: with that said, since tonight was a blowout, not a
Speaker 2: lot to really break down. When the Dodgers score nine
Speaker 2: runs in the first inning. Yamamoto was everything he should
Speaker 2: be when you have a nine to one lead after
Speaker 2: the first inning. He cruised to ninety three pitches eight innings,
Speaker 2: allowed just one run in the first inning. And you
Speaker 2: know is Yamamoto. I mean, that's what an ace of
Speaker 2: his caliber does. He uses a eight run lead and
Speaker 2: doesn't give it back to a team like the Angels.
Speaker 2: And I can confidently say this speaking of the Angels,
Speaker 2: you know, they're the worst team we've seen so far
Speaker 2: this year that the Dodgers have played. And the Dodgers
Speaker 2: have played some teams that are not very good, like
Speaker 2: the Rockies, like the Giants, like the Mets, but the
Speaker 2: Angels are probably the worst team we have seen the
Speaker 2: Dodgers play this year. And I know that's stating the obvious,
Speaker 2: but there are some really bad teams in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: But I would have to say, so far this season,
Speaker 2: the Angels are the least impressive of the team the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have played this year, and after losing all six
Speaker 2: games last year to the Angels, the Dodgers have won
Speaker 2: the first five and are looking to win all six
Speaker 2: this year if they sweep the Angels tomorrow afternoon with
Speaker 2: them at Sheen on the Mound. And I don't know,
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to too many players about this, but
Speaker 2: in Anaheim, a couple of them remembered the Angels beating
Speaker 2: them all six times and they did not want that
Speaker 2: to happen again. So I felt like they sent a
Speaker 2: message in Anaheim because I believe the Angels scored only
Speaker 2: three runs to the Dodgers thirty one runs scored in
Speaker 2: that three game series at the Big A, and they
Speaker 2: have completely dissected them tonight and last night, Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: after a scoreless tie was broken with a walk off
Speaker 2: home run, the Dodgers have really, really, you know, taking
Speaker 2: care of business against the team that they really should
Speaker 2: Eight six six, nine, eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. But going back to Miles Garrett and
Speaker 2: Aaron Donald. You'll hear from Miles Garrett a little bit
Speaker 2: later in the show with all the rumors that thirty
Speaker 2: five year old Aaron Donald, a Rams Super Bowl champion
Speaker 2: and one of the best players that they've had in
Speaker 2: their franchise's history, is thinking about coming out of retirement.
Speaker 2: I thought that I would throw this out to you.
Speaker 2: If you could choose one player to come out of
Speaker 2: retirement for the Dodgers over the course of the last
Speaker 2: fifteen years, who would it be? I mean, that's the connection, right.
Speaker 2: Let's have some fun tonight after a nine to two
Speaker 2: win over the Angels. If you could pick one Dodger
Speaker 2: to come out of retirement that retired in the past
Speaker 2: fifteen years to come out of retirement and play, who
Speaker 2: would it be? Eight six six nine, eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. And for the Dodgers tonight,
Speaker 2: Dalton Rushing, he was really good behind the plate, and
Speaker 2: Will Smith was a late scratch with a stiff neck,
Speaker 2: and Dalton Rushing knows how to handle himself. And it
Speaker 2: was great to see Ryan Ward be part of that
Speaker 2: nine run first inning as well. He hit a two
Speaker 2: run double and he came off his bat at one
Speaker 2: hundred and one miles an hour. I mean, that was
Speaker 2: pretty impressive, and I think everybody needs to just acknowledge
Speaker 2: the fact that the Dodgers not only have some really
Speaker 2: good players they brought in from other organizations that you know,
Speaker 2: frankly just let them fall into the Dodgers' lap. But
Speaker 2: the reality is the Dodgers on their roster right now
Speaker 2: have twelve homegrown players, players that they drafted and developed,
Speaker 2: including guys like Ryan Ward, Dalton Rushing, and Alex Freeland
Speaker 2: to go along with Andy PAHs. So just keep that
Speaker 2: in mind as well. Eight sixty six nine eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's head downstairs
Speaker 2: right now to hear from Dalton Rushing on sports and
Speaker 2: at LA.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that was pretty big for us up
Speaker 5: and fresh for tomorrow, sweet series.
Speaker 4: It's kind of who he is.
Speaker 5: He wasn't getting the swing and mess that he wanted
Speaker 5: from the get Gos' is not a team that swings
Speaker 5: and misses a lot, so we kind of knew we
Speaker 5: were going to have the flexibility to get guys in
Speaker 5: and out of the.
Speaker 4: Box as quick as possible.
Speaker 5: And yeah, he did that, and like I said, eight
Speaker 5: innings is never easy, and it's obviously great to see
Speaker 5: him do it once again.
Speaker 6: You mentioned just because of the big lead, he was
Speaker 6: able to kind of work through a few things or
Speaker 6: even experiment with a few things during his outing. What
Speaker 6: did you find just in which either how he was
Speaker 6: experimenting or kind of what he was able to do
Speaker 6: due to the score.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you get up big like that and
Speaker 5: you don't want to get too cute to an extent,
Speaker 5: but you also want to like understand and see what
Speaker 5: he's capable of, kind of throw a couple more tricks
Speaker 5: up your sleeve, you know, in a way. And for
Speaker 5: him it's so easy because he has eight pitches that
Speaker 5: he can throw wherever he wants, and so yeah, obviously
Speaker 5: it's fun to work with him, and yeah, we tried
Speaker 5: a few new tricks and we'll carry him over into
Speaker 5: his next.
Speaker 7: As building into the season, like obviously you start off repubblic.
Speaker 4: He's gotten better and better the last couple of outies.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think really good pitchers, really good hitters, they
Speaker 5: get better as the season goes on, and that's it's
Speaker 5: a good thing. And I don't expect him to slow
Speaker 5: down anytime.
Speaker 6: So we say, a big run is a good thing
Speaker 6: for a big lead is a good thing for a pitcher.
Speaker 8: But there was a lot of time off.
Speaker 6: Just what impressed you about the way that he was
Speaker 6: able to come back and really sailed from there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is a good routine in the dugout in
Speaker 5: between innings to kind of ramp up his arms, stay ready,
Speaker 5: And during that first inning he was throwing a lot
Speaker 5: of plowballs, so he knew he was going to have
Speaker 5: to stay warm for as much as pots or as
Speaker 5: long as possible, And uh yeah, I felt like he
Speaker 5: kind of had normal rests the rest of the rest
Speaker 5: of the game.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Dalton rushing on sports in at LA
Speaker 2: and it was so freeing easy for Yamamoto tonight. Ninety
Speaker 2: three pitches, eight innings, and that's the way it should
Speaker 2: be when you're as great as Yama Moto facing a
Speaker 2: weak lineup like the Angels, and you have an eight
Speaker 2: run lead. So the Dodgers got everything that they wanted
Speaker 2: out of Yama Moto.
Speaker 3: Tonight.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Since the Dodgers blew out the Angels,
Speaker 2: not a lot to break down tonight. You're going to
Speaker 2: hear from Miles Garrett coming up in fifteen minutes. You'll
Speaker 2: hear from Jose Mota in ten minutes. But I want
Speaker 2: to know, with the rumors of Aaron Donald wanting to
Speaker 2: come out of retirement to play with Miles Garrett and
Speaker 2: give it one last run to try to win another
Speaker 2: Super Bowl with the Rams in the last fifteen years,
Speaker 2: if there was one Dodger you would want to come
Speaker 2: out of retirement, who would it be? Eight six six
Speaker 2: nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Isaac who is at the ballpark tonight. Hi, Isaac,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk. How's it going, David?
Speaker 8: I think there's only one out three. I think it's
Speaker 8: Clayn Kursaw in his prime. That's it.
Speaker 9: That's it only answer.
Speaker 3: I agree with you.
Speaker 2: That would be great, you know, And I bet he
Speaker 2: wishes that he still had a little something left in
Speaker 2: the tank and his body would cooperate to try to
Speaker 2: be part of a run for a three p.
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, all right, David, thanks for thinking my call.
Speaker 9: Have a good one.
Speaker 2: Hey, you too, Isaac. Usually I hang up on the callers.
Speaker 2: You don't hang up on me. Let's go out to
Speaker 2: Kevin and Carson. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing Kevin?
Speaker 8: I'm doing good.
Speaker 4: How are you? Hey?
Speaker 2: Can you believe that Isaac turning the tables on me?
Speaker 2: Hanging up on me? I hang up on you. Don't
Speaker 2: forget it? So which player would you want to come
Speaker 2: out of retirement if they could.
Speaker 8: Let's say Gyasiel plea. I like the I like his game.
Speaker 8: I was a big friend the Gasfield plea.
Speaker 3: Is he retired.
Speaker 2: He's playing in Canada right now, and he's got some
Speaker 2: other issues that might prevent him from coming to play
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. But yeah, puig Mania was phenomenal, Like
Speaker 2: Vince Gully named him the wild Horse. Yeah all right, Kevin,
Speaker 2: you're a big Peak fan.
Speaker 8: Huh Yeah, Yeah, I plea when you play man half out, Yeah,
Speaker 8: power and he could feel pretty good. He was okay,
Speaker 8: just he would get mad sometime, but he was a
Speaker 8: good player.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He was an emotional player, that's for sure, Kevin. There
Speaker 2: were some good times with Puek, that's for sure.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, thank you for taking my car.
Speaker 3: Are you hanging up on me too, Kevin?
Speaker 8: Oh now I'm still here.
Speaker 3: All right, Kevin, Thanks for calling in. Have a great night.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. If you could pick one Dodger to come
Speaker 2: out of retirement that has played in the last fifteen years,
Speaker 2: who would it be?
Speaker 3: Dennis and Seal Beach?
Speaker 2: Which player would you want to come out of retirement
Speaker 2: to help the Dodgers win a three.
Speaker 10: P Well, look, David, the first person I thought of
Speaker 10: was the first person was Clayton Kershaw obviously, but you know,
Speaker 10: I started thinking more and I've been going to a
Speaker 10: lot of Dodger games. I would choose vintage Manny Ramirez,
Speaker 10: no question this, This Dodger starting pitching is so good
Speaker 10: that selfishly they could use other bat and that he's
Speaker 10: the best pure hitter I've ever seen. Were of Dodger uniform.
Speaker 10: I'd say in the last twenty twenty five years, in
Speaker 10: my opinion, no question, I would choose Many Ramirez.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I would, you know, clarify it and say
Speaker 2: I'd take the Many Ramirez of two thousand and eight,
Speaker 2: not the one of two thousand and nine.
Speaker 10: Okay, sure, okay, okay, fine, fair enough. I thought him.
Speaker 10: That's fair enough.
Speaker 8: But he was He was beloved.
Speaker 10: By Dodger fans. I mean the cheers, he would get
Speaker 10: the cheer, admir And I realized all his baggage, I
Speaker 10: get all.
Speaker 3: That, But he was great in wait eight. Was special,
Speaker 3: that's for sure.
Speaker 2: And I know not only was he beloved by the
Speaker 2: fans that year, but his teammates loved him. Andre Ehier
Speaker 2: and Matt camp said they learned so much from Many
Speaker 2: Ramirez and during those couple of years they would follow
Speaker 2: him around like puppy dogs, like they would follow Many everywhere.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I all right, Dennis, that's a name from the past.
Speaker 3: All good. I like that name. Thank you for the
Speaker 3: phone call.
Speaker 2: That was a creative name that you would want to
Speaker 2: come out of retirement for the Dodgers this year. Tonight's
Speaker 2: game brought to you by Modello Modelo The mark of
Speaker 2: a fighter.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: Actually, andre Ehier told me an interesting story. He said,
Speaker 2: when Many Ramirez was on the Dodgers, the media would
Speaker 2: think that he was arriving late all the time because
Speaker 2: he would show up well after the rest of the
Speaker 2: players for a game. But he said, the reason why
Speaker 2: he did that and nobody knew it was the fact
Speaker 2: that on the road, especially Many Ramirez would be in
Speaker 2: the hotel gym and then he would go to the
Speaker 2: ballpark the Dodgers were playing at that night and take
Speaker 2: early batting practice. He would be in the batting cage
Speaker 2: at ten to eleven in the morning and nobody would
Speaker 2: know about it for a seven to ten game, and
Speaker 2: then he would go back to the hotel and take
Speaker 2: a nap before coming back and getting ready again to
Speaker 2: put in more work for the game. So that's something
Speaker 2: that andre Ethier told me that nobody knew and I
Speaker 2: didn't know that Manny would actually show up that early
Speaker 2: at the ballpark to take early BP work out at
Speaker 2: the gym and then go back to take a nap.
Speaker 2: And that's the reason why sometimes he would show up
Speaker 2: and arrive later than most of the players. But that's
Speaker 2: not something the media new. That's not something the fans knew.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Let's go out to Kate and Torrance.
Speaker 2: All Right, Kate, who would you do you want to
Speaker 2: come out of retirement?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 11: Speaking of Andrea Etheris, he was the first one that
Speaker 11: came to mind. He was just so clutch, and he
Speaker 11: has such a great heart, you know, and he's like,
Speaker 11: have the only head of the twenty seventeen World Series
Speaker 11: in Game seven, so he would have loved to be
Speaker 11: there for the others too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one of the players that the Astros robbed.
Speaker 2: That was his last game in his major league career,
Speaker 2: Game seven of the seventeen World Series. Ethier drove in
Speaker 2: the only run of that game, coming off the bench.
Speaker 2: I love that one, Kate. You know I'm biased, but
Speaker 2: I love that one too. Thanks for the phone call,
Speaker 2: all right. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number. We're gonna take a time
Speaker 2: out when we come back. More of your phone calls.
Speaker 3: I like this.
Speaker 2: On a night the Dodgers blow out the Angels nine
Speaker 2: to two, we want to know if there was one
Speaker 2: Dodger you could bring out a retirement in the last
Speaker 2: fifteen years, who would it be? And also you'll hear
Speaker 2: my conversation with the newest m Miles Garrett the reason
Speaker 2: why Aaron Donald is rumored to want to come out
Speaker 2: of retirement. We'll ask Jose Moto which Dodger he would
Speaker 2: bring out a retirement if he could as well. More

Speaker 1: It's time to go around the horn with jose Mota.
Speaker 2: All right, jose Mota, you want to play along with
Speaker 2: us tonight. If there was one Dodger you could bring
Speaker 2: out a retirement in the last fifteen years, who would
Speaker 2: it be?
Speaker 9: Of course, Manny Moto doesn't qualify, right.
Speaker 2: No, No, he very close to the last fifteen years,
Speaker 2: so close.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go man Or mirrors, which is my I
Speaker 9: was sitting in to the previous callers, and I'm going
Speaker 9: to be saying I want the winning run at second
Speaker 9: base every time he comes to bed. I mean, it's
Speaker 9: like put it on, put it on there, man. Nobody
Speaker 9: was better on the pressure of the Manor of Maris
Speaker 9: throughout his career. And as you mentioned, the first maning,
Speaker 9: not the second version.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, many would that was electric here at Doesting.
Speaker 2: That was an electric nine run first inning for the
Speaker 2: Dodgers tonight, Jose.
Speaker 9: Yes, it was.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: The great thing was that Yamamoto after two outs he
Speaker 9: gave up the butt hit three to one count, right,
Speaker 9: and then the ball that is unfortunately can not come
Speaker 9: up with it, but a well hit struck ball by
Speaker 9: Parazza and Yellamoto was actually kind of nibbling a little
Speaker 9: bit more. And Mike Pryors told me this like early
Speaker 9: in games, you'd be nibbling a little bit more. But
Speaker 9: what happened after that he got the lead, and I'm
Speaker 9: glad to hear Russian talk about it, Dave is they
Speaker 9: were take some things. And I noticed that every single
Speaker 9: first pitch up for that was like, hey, swinging team,
Speaker 9: I'm sure the Angers are going to try to counteract
Speaker 9: by being aggressive, thinking, hey, a lot of first pitch fastballs,
Speaker 9: he is going to popping fastles in there. He went
Speaker 9: like with a two strike approach on every single one
Speaker 9: of those guys, which is remarkable, admirable, and know that
Speaker 9: you have that great command to have guys thinking it's
Speaker 9: it's a big lead, he's going to go out there
Speaker 9: and throw strikes. He's going to go out there not
Speaker 9: being his best pitch. He made better pitches zero zero
Speaker 9: counts today than ever before. And you can see a
Speaker 9: lot of balls hit either at the end of the
Speaker 9: bat foul balls, swings and missus, or guys getting jammed
Speaker 9: on inside fastiles. That is what's pitching is all about.
Speaker 9: You pitch on the scoreboard, yes, but also you pitch
Speaker 9: without the scoreboard, knowing exactly who you're facing, and he
Speaker 9: knows he has a team that really strikes out a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And maybe the reason why he was as precise
Speaker 2: and locked in on his first pitch to batters is
Speaker 2: because we're seeing a lot more of those batters trying
Speaker 2: to ambush him on the very first pitch that he
Speaker 2: throws to.
Speaker 9: Them, and because he is a strike thrower, obviously, But
Speaker 9: now if he looked back, just doubt we got today
Speaker 9: about what he's doing with that fastball. Hitters were two
Speaker 9: for twenty four against his fastball the last three outings,
Speaker 9: and it's because now he's thicking to cutter away a
Speaker 9: little bit more. But his two seu fastball run so
Speaker 9: well and on Righty's away on lefties got induced a
Speaker 9: soft contact either in on Righty's or end of the
Speaker 9: battle lefties, and then his four seamur tonight has so
Speaker 9: much life upstairs in downstairs that he's really hard to
Speaker 9: figure out because his command is so superb. But you know,
Speaker 9: Tuns that he gets a little bit too fine, He
Speaker 9: gets into a little bit of trouble. But nonetheless, this
Speaker 9: guy knows and understands what to do when the count's
Speaker 9: all and one zero zero. The game itself was a
Speaker 9: great aptitude for the game and gratefull thingk for what
Speaker 9: he needs to do to also be economical and go
Speaker 9: out there and say that bullp.
Speaker 3: And again Jose Mota is joining us.
Speaker 2: After Yamamoto and the Dodgers beat the Angels tonight nine
Speaker 2: to two, how about the young kids tonight? Rushing calls
Speaker 2: a really good game with Yamamoto. Then you have Ryan
Speaker 2: Ward hit a two run double in.
Speaker 3: That nine run first inning.
Speaker 2: Alex Freeland has been a lot better since being called up.
Speaker 2: We can you say of what you've seen from Freeland
Speaker 2: and war this second time around.
Speaker 9: It is a response to the confidence day that the
Speaker 9: organization gives them and the responsibility they give them. They
Speaker 9: don't bring these guys up here to bury them. I mean,
Speaker 9: think about this. You have an all star catcher, you
Speaker 9: have you know, a tail being out. You have a
Speaker 9: chance to play Alex go a little bit more. But
Speaker 9: you give Ryan Ward a chance because you believe in
Speaker 9: this kid. You go out there and challenge him by
Speaker 9: getting him these opportunities. And that's what the respond that
Speaker 9: Alex Freeland, you know, did not have a great spring,
Speaker 9: made the team. They want to take a look closer.
Speaker 9: Look Kim stays, he goes back and now he's a
Speaker 9: different type of hitter. Talking to some of the Dodger
Speaker 9: personnel today, this guy's brought a line drive swing. This
Speaker 9: time it's not a fly ball elevate game behind the
Speaker 9: base well, he brought the line drive swing. And on defense,
Speaker 9: talking to Chris Wilber today, he's been really understanding every
Speaker 9: single thing that he used to do to prevent runs
Speaker 9: and be a big part of what the defense so well.
Speaker 9: But when we see young players respawn like this in
Speaker 9: a team like this one not developing players, you can
Speaker 9: only point to the people upstairs saying we need all
Speaker 9: of you and when you come up, We're don't believe
Speaker 9: we're gonna be ready, but we're not gonna be sitting
Speaker 9: on the bench just rusting out there.
Speaker 4: Jose.
Speaker 3: Fair to say this is maybe the worst team the
Speaker 3: Dodgers have played this year. The Angels.
Speaker 2: We've seen the Rockies, but they got some good young
Speaker 2: players that are learning. It just doesn't seem like this
Speaker 2: is going anywhere for the Angels.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just callified as a team that just does
Speaker 9: not do a whole lot of things. Well, if you
Speaker 9: want to qualify it that way as a worse team,
Speaker 9: because the offense has not been there. They just throw
Speaker 9: the ball around as we saw today, just a lot
Speaker 9: of inconsistency in so many ways. You can pitch around them.
Speaker 9: You know, I always say relatively easy if you get
Speaker 9: past a couple of guys. But even the guys that
Speaker 9: are supposed to be you know, lethal weapons for them
Speaker 9: are not happening. But when you face the Dodgers, there's
Speaker 9: a lot of things that can go wrong, David, especially
Speaker 9: the way that guys have been throwing the ball off
Speaker 9: to the mound. That can make the look so bad.
Speaker 9: But none thee list is this type of team. They
Speaker 9: never take for gun it because you do remember what
Speaker 9: happened last season, and they do too, Yeah.
Speaker 3: They do, that's for sure. Jose, thanks a lot for
Speaker 3: checking in.
Speaker 2: That's a polite way of saying it better than I did,
Speaker 2: saying a team that doesn't do a lot of things, Well,
Speaker 2: that's really polite.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to take that queue.
Speaker 9: You don't have to.
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.
Speaker 9: You played good teams, Dave, and there's a lot of
Speaker 9: things that come out. That's the Phillies. What happened here
Speaker 9: last time too. There's a one of things to come
Speaker 9: out when you played good teams, and now Dog, you
Speaker 9: do that if you buks overround the league.
Speaker 2: All right, yep, that's right. The Dodgers can make you
Speaker 2: look ugly too. Thanks Jse, We'll see you tomorrow. AliOS,
Speaker 2: There he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish
Speaker 2: radio broadcast eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy.
Speaker 2: Is the phone number coming up in five minutes you'll
Speaker 2: hear my conversation with the newest ram and a guy
Speaker 2: that represented himself very well throwing out the first pitch tonight,
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett, Let's go back out to the phones. Rudy
Speaker 2: in La wants to let us know who he would
Speaker 2: bring out a retirement, like Aaron Donald is thinking for
Speaker 2: the Rams.
Speaker 4: Hi, Rudy, how you doing?
Speaker 9: Oh, Dave are really thank you for taking a call.
Speaker 9: But I would like to bring Mike Camp back.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, I don't mind bringing back Matt Camp. Especially
Speaker 2: twenty eleven. Matt Kemp almost a forty forty players should
Speaker 2: have been the MVP that year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that version.
Speaker 7: I mean, everybody else is good, but I think Matt
Speaker 7: Camp was really really good.
Speaker 3: All right, I ain't gonna argue with that one. Rudy,
Speaker 3: that's a good name.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number.
Speaker 3: Let's go out to Shane. Shane, you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: How you doing?
Speaker 7: I'm doing good man?

Speaker 4: Buddy?
Speaker 3: Where are you calling from?
Speaker 7: Adlanto?
Speaker 3: Where's that.
Speaker 5: Over by Victorville?
Speaker 3: Oh that's why I don't know that city. I don't
Speaker 3: go that far out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, with all the injuries that we're having
Speaker 7: here and there and stuff like that, I would bring
Speaker 7: out Sido. I would love to see Sido come back.
Speaker 2: Takashi SAIDO, Wow, that's a name from the past right there.
Speaker 7: Definitely definitely Sido for sure.
Speaker 2: Why did you choose him out of all these other
Speaker 2: great Dodgers that you could have choosen from?
Speaker 3: Are you just trying to be super unique?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 7: No, no, I'm unique anyways. But yeah, and I was
Speaker 7: thinking Ganya, but that's out.
Speaker 3: Out out of the turn, outside of the window.
Speaker 7: Where you want to be.
Speaker 13: Out of the window.
Speaker 7: But I remember with Sido. I met Sido and I've
Speaker 7: always loved him when he's pitching and closing, and that
Speaker 7: was just really great. So I think Sido would be
Speaker 7: really good back to us. I came out of out
Speaker 7: a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Yeah, he was a good closer, Nick COLETTI
Speaker 2: brought him over from Japan and he was solid for sure.
Speaker 2: Let's take one more phone call before we hear from
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett Camilla in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: How are you doing, Camilla?
Speaker 11: I'm good.
Speaker 9: How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great?
Speaker 2: Fun night at Dodger Stadium, especially when you have a
Speaker 2: nine run first inning. Were you at the game tonight
Speaker 2: or were you listening to us streaming it on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app?
Speaker 8: No, Unfortunately I wasn't able to tune in, but I
Speaker 8: heard it was a really good one.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, who would you want to bring
Speaker 2: out a retirement? I appreciate you listening to Dodger talk.
Speaker 11: At least, Yeah, no problem.
Speaker 6: I would bring crab Chris Taylor recently retired, but he
Speaker 6: was a great defense and I still remember his twenty
Speaker 6: twenty one.
Speaker 11: Walk off home run against during the Wildcard game.
Speaker 9: I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just retired officially, what last week? So yeah,
Speaker 2: he's officially retired, Camilla, So he qualifies. Yeah, Chris Taylor. Definitely,
Speaker 2: that would be great, especially the twenty seventeen Chris Taylor
Speaker 2: in the twenty one version who walked off the Cardinals
Speaker 2: in the Wildcard game. So yeah, yeah, I like Chris
Speaker 2: Taylor a fan favor, right, Camilla. Nobody will forget him
Speaker 2: up exactly. All right, Well, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Yeah, Chris Taylor officially retired. He was playing
Speaker 2: for the Angels TRIPLEA team in Salt Lake City and
Speaker 2: he decided to call it a career. And he was
Speaker 2: a guy that got the most out of his baseball
Speaker 2: career because he was an unknown just basically, you know,
Speaker 2: languishing somewhere in the Mariners system before the Dodgers traded
Speaker 2: for him in the middle of the twenty sixteen season
Speaker 2: for Zach Lee. And then Chris Taylor had his best
Speaker 2: year in twenty seventeen, came up clutch with a huge
Speaker 2: catch in the NLCS in twenty eighteen, and another memorable
Speaker 2: moment was that walk off home run in the wild
Speaker 2: Card game against the Cardinals. So yeah, Chris Taylor, Congratulations
Speaker 2: on a great year, great career. I should say, celebrate
Speaker 2: ninety years of racing at Santa Anita Parker Friday through
Speaker 2: Sunday with millions and payouts every race day. For heart
Speaker 2: pounding action and new experiences. Visit Santa Anita dot com.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. By the way, the Dodgers winning tonight
Speaker 2: in nine innings extends their streak to begin the season
Speaker 2: without an extra innings game to sixty five. They played
Speaker 2: sixty five games now and have not played an extra
Speaker 2: inning game so far, which is tied for sixth with
Speaker 2: the Detroit Tigers of nineteen fifty eight, and so that
Speaker 2: streak continues tonight. The Dodgers still have not played an
Speaker 2: extra innings game and nobody's complaining around here.
Speaker 3: Hey, everybody was excited earlier today that.
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett was going to be in the house throwing
Speaker 2: out the ceremonial first pitch. I was excited, fans were excited,
Speaker 2: the Dodger players were excited, and we had a chance
Speaker 2: to catch up with the raining defensive player of the
Speaker 2: Year in the NFL and the newest Ram, Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2: All right, we are here with the reigning defensive player
Speaker 2: of the Year, the sack master himself, and LA's new
Speaker 2: favorite superstar, the one and only Miles Garrett at Dodgers Stadium.
Speaker 13: Thanks a lot for the time, and man, you look
Speaker 13: great in blue.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 13: It feels good and h blessed to be here. So
Speaker 13: you were just in the Dodger clubhouse.
Speaker 2: All those guys get asked for autographs and pictures, but
Speaker 2: I heard they were fan boying out on Miles Garrett.
Speaker 2: What was it like to have the best in the
Speaker 2: game paying respects to the best.
Speaker 4: Of his game.
Speaker 12: That's amazing. I appreciate the honor and respect and it
Speaker 12: definitely goes both the ways. Those guys are at the
Speaker 12: very pinnap of what they do.
Speaker 2: Did you see this weird awkward picture named Blake Snell
Speaker 2: try to go three point stance on you.
Speaker 12: I might have missed it. He might have done it
Speaker 12: a lot back with sirs. I don't know, but uh,
Speaker 12: I'm willing to line it up with anybody.
Speaker 13: Is this the first time you've been here?
Speaker 4: First time? Yeah, first game so far?
Speaker 2: Have you had a chance to look around? When you
Speaker 2: look around? What do you what do you think about
Speaker 2: this stadium?
Speaker 12: I mean, it's what it's supposed to look like, the atmosphere,
Speaker 12: the field. No, this is this is definitely a great pitch.
Speaker 13: I told you that LA has been buzzing about you.
Speaker 2: I don't know how much you've gone out in public
Speaker 2: since you got traded, but can you feel how excited
Speaker 2: the city is to have you part of this landscape?
Speaker 12: Ka, No, y'all y'all really received me. Well, there's a
Speaker 12: lot of great energy buzzing around and h I'm really
Speaker 12: appreciative because this is awesome atmosphere football.
Speaker 2: The one thing, the one thing I thought about when
Speaker 2: you got traded was that Halloween is going to a
Speaker 2: different level in LA with Miles Garrett in the house.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, and that's not stopping or going anywhere anytime soon.
Speaker 12: We're definitely gonna take it up a notch.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're throwing out the ceremonial first pitch tonight.
Speaker 2: When was the last time you threw a baseball?
Speaker 12: About a month ago? Yeah, yeah, I get I guess
Speaker 12: I was getting ready. I didn't even know, but uh yeah,
Speaker 12: you live trained at a baseball facility at least part
Speaker 12: of the baseball this selling I go out there and
Speaker 12: throw the ball around.
Speaker 2: That's what you do, just to hang out, relax, just
Speaker 2: play catch with a buddy exactly.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: That's that's just a way of you know, crossing over
Speaker 4: sports now some funch.
Speaker 13: So you're ready for this.
Speaker 4: I think I'm ready for it.
Speaker 13: Okay, you want to hear what my dream scenario is
Speaker 13: for your ceremonial first pitch, talk to me, Miles. Garrett
Speaker 13: goes out there on the mound.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, a guy in catcher's gear with
Speaker 2: a catcher's mask comes out, big dude. All of a sudden,
Speaker 2: he takes the catcher's mask off, and it's Aaron Donald.
Speaker 12: This sounds more like WW than than baseball. But that
Speaker 12: sound like we're going to have like a final showdown.
Speaker 2: Are you getting tired of people asking you about.
Speaker 13: Aaron Donald wanting to play with you.
Speaker 4: I understand.
Speaker 12: No, he's beloved by the city and then rightfully so. No,
Speaker 12: he's the greatest defensive player this this town has ever had,
Speaker 12: and definitely the greatest defensive tackle that we've ever seen.
Speaker 12: So you know, a lot of respect to him.
Speaker 13: So is there a chance that might happen.
Speaker 4: Hey, that's all that's out of my hands.
Speaker 2: As far as him catching your first pitch, all both,
Speaker 2: thanks a lot for the time. Man, It's it's great
Speaker 2: to meet you, and I'm I've lived here in my
Speaker 2: whole life. I live in Woodland Hills where the rams
Speaker 2: HQ is and I could just tell you you fit
Speaker 2: perfectly in LA. You got a smile that will light
Speaker 2: up Ventura Boulevard, and certainly the spirit of the person
Speaker 2: you are comes across and we're really happy to have.
Speaker 4: You in La. Thank you so much. He's truly a
Speaker 4: blessing there.
Speaker 2: He is the man great Stash Miles Garrett. Watch for
Speaker 2: him on Ventural Boulevard, maybe Shupe and Irwin.
Speaker 3: You never know. You might see Miles Garrett at Monty Steakhouse.
Speaker 3: You never know. You never know.
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett will be running the valley, He'll be running
Speaker 2: Sofi Stadium, and it was great to see him.
Speaker 3: And he did a great job throwing out the first
Speaker 3: pitch tonight. No bounces.
Speaker 2: He was not like fifty cent throwing it five million
Speaker 2: times on the ground before it got to the catcher,
Speaker 2: before it got to home. Emmitt Shehan was promised yesterday
Speaker 2: that he would be able to catch the first pitch
Speaker 2: from Miles Garrett, and Wanderrado, the player's relation director, certainly
Speaker 2: delivered on his promise, and Emitt Sheen told me that
Speaker 2: he was not expecting Miles Garrett to throw a strike
Speaker 2: that hard. There was some extra giddy up on that
Speaker 2: first pitch from Miles Garrett. But great to have him
Speaker 2: out here. Great smile, great vibe, and I certainly will
Speaker 2: want would not want to be a quarterback in the
Speaker 2: NFL with that guy coming across the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Let's take one more phone call before
Speaker 2: we say goodnight. Glenn in Torrance, what do you think
Speaker 2: about Miles Garrett.
Speaker 9: I think that's an awesome pickup.
Speaker 8: I think Miles Garrett is amazing I mean, honestly, he's
Speaker 8: one of a crime. We've never seen something like this
Speaker 8: since like LT.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like he may convert a lot of
Speaker 3: uh not Rams fans into Rams fans in l.
Speaker 9: I think right about that?
Speaker 3: All right, you.
Speaker 2: Wanted to bring somebody up out of retirement like Aaron
Speaker 2: Donald's thinking about who you got?
Speaker 9: Let me get Adrian Beltray. What do you think about that?
Speaker 3: I think a little.
Speaker 2: Outside of the fifteen year window with the Dodgers, but
Speaker 2: I guess with the Rangers.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that that plays. That plays. I like Adrian Beltray.
Speaker 4: There we go.
Speaker 8: I think Adrian Beltray with the bat to ball skills
Speaker 8: right now, I think he'd be automatic.
Speaker 3: What would you do with Max Munsey? You're just kicking
Speaker 3: Max Munsey to the curb.
Speaker 4: Yep, I got the curb. He's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: He's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Max Munsey should be an All Star this year,
Speaker 2: but he's not a Hall of Famer. Okay, Glenn fair enough?
Speaker 2: Thanks with a phone call. That's a good way to
Speaker 2: close that fun segment out. So thanks to everybody that
Speaker 2: called in. Loved hearing all those former Dodger names and
Speaker 2: speaking of Max Munsey. He gotta vote Munsey to the
Speaker 2: All Star Game because he deserves to be the National
Speaker 2: League starting third baseman. Andy Pohz deserves to be the
Speaker 2: starting center fielder. He drove in his fifty second and
Speaker 2: fifty third runs of the year. That's more than any
Speaker 2: other player in Major League Baseball this year, fourteen home runs,
Speaker 2: fifty three RBIs, and playing really good center field. For me,
Speaker 2: the two locks that should be starters are Pa haz
Speaker 2: Muncie and of course a third sho Hey Otani is
Speaker 2: certainly going to be the National League DH, but the game.
Speaker 3: Is in Philadelphia, so you never know.
Speaker 2: Those Philly fans, nah Otani's gonna be the DH, not
Speaker 2: schwarb Er.
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 12: Hey.
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of the All Star Game, Mike
Speaker 2: Trout is healthy for the first time in three years,
Speaker 2: and he's having a pretty good year.
Speaker 3: And the game is in Philadelphia. We all know Mike's
Speaker 3: a Philly guy.
Speaker 2: So if you're voting for the Dodgers when you click
Speaker 2: over to the American League, I would click on Mike Trout.
Speaker 2: I would love to see Mike Trout starting in center
Speaker 2: field in Philadelphia, and I had a chance to catch
Speaker 2: up with a future Hall of Famer before today's game.
Speaker 2: He was our pregame guest, Mike Trout. Yeah, that Mike Trout.
