WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (5-6-26)

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>This is World Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Here we go again.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.840

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a happy flight for the Dodgers after they put

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>up twelve runs and beat the Astros twelve to two.

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>More importantly, win a series. And I'm sure Miguel Rojas

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.760
<v Speaker 2>was having that tequila on ice a little bit too

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>long because there have not been many series wins over

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 2>the course of the last two weeks. But they get

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 2>one today, taking two out of three from Houston by

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>scoring a twelve to two win over the Astros. Welcome

<v Speaker 2>app and one oh four point three HD two. We

<v Speaker 2>are taking you to three thirty. That's when Petros and

<v Speaker 2>Money will take over. And I do have a pair

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of tickets to give away to Will Smith's comedy show,

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>part of the Netflix comedy series tomorrow in Beverly Hills.

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>So if you're interested, come strong with with something that

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 2>will entertain us on Dodger Talk between now and three thirty.

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>It's Netflix is a joke fest and Will Smith, the

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 2>funniest guy on the team t is hosting all of

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 2>this again for the third straight year. Eight six to six,

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>nine to eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number.

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.280
<v Speaker 2>As you know, last night was a disappointing loss for

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, especially with the way Otani pitched seven strong innings,

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 2>gave up just two solo home runs, and the Dodgers

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>lost two to one after scoring eight runs in the

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>first two in the first game of this series. So

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>they score eight runs in the first game in Houston,

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.239
<v Speaker 2>they scored twelve games in the last game in Houston

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and beat the Astros twelve to two. The only concerning

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>part is we're starting to get back to a boom

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 2>or bust Dodger offense, and that's kind of their identity, right.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>That's why we shine such a light on the fact

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>that they went six straight games without a home run,

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>because if they don't homer, the chances of this offense

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 2>scoring and winning are not very good. I mean, you

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 2>look back, nobody has acknowledged this. It's not like the

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers strung together a lot of hits in Game seven

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 2>of last year's World Series. It was three solo home

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>runs that produced all three runs to beat the Blue

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Jays in Game seven of last year's World Series. So

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>agree with it, disagree with it. The Dodgers are a

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>slugging team, but the way they they slug is in

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the process of swinging at pitches in the strike zone,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>taking a lot of walks, and that's something we haven't

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>seen consistently from the Dodgers the last couple of weeks.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>But today Andy PAHs, who I believe in the last

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>four games has gone back to being Andy pa has

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 2>ignoring too much information and just knowing his strike zone,

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>being aggressive and decisive with his swing on where he

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 2>knows he can do damage. And that's exactly what he

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>did today, hitting three home runs for the first time

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>in his major league career, driving in six RBIs. I

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 2>know the last one was against a position player, but

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>that third inning three run home run with two outs

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>really stood out to me to a guy that has

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>gone back to being aggressive, knowing his strike zone and

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>not trying to guess what the pitcher is going to

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 2>throw in a certain count. You know, I had the

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>privilege of talking to one of the all time great

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>hitting coaches and hitting minds and former Dodger Reggie Smith

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>this morning. Reggie just reminded me that you've got to

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 2>watch the game. And Lance mccullors junior is a guy

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>that has a lot of pitches in his back pocket.

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>He wasn't really executing any of those secondary pitches, so

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you start to discard some of those pitches that you

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>know the guy can't throw for a strike. And that's

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 2>exactly what Andy poh has did today, and that's part

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 2>of the reason why he was so successful in that

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>at bat, hitting a three run home run with two outs,

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's the first time in a while that Andy

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.239
<v Speaker 2>Poh has has had multi I hit games back to back.

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 2>He had three hits last night. He had two three

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>hits today. So that's a great sign. And let's not

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>move him up and down the order. When Andy pa

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>has started the season red hot, he was in the

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 2>seven to seventh spot. Let's just leave him there. Every

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 2>time the Dodgers try to move him up, it seems

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>like he puts, he changes, and there's no need to change.

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>So Paz is so vital to that six, seven, eight

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 2>nine part of the Dodgers order, and that's where he

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 2>was hitting today. Now I understand why Dave Roberts has

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>tried to move Paz up. It's because he's not getting

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot from his right handed hitters so far. You

0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 2>look at the right handed hitters in particular, Taioscar Hernandez

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and Will Smith against left handed pitching this year, they

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have a home run Taioskar or Smith against the

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 2>lefty and the group of right handed hitters the Dodgers

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>have have only had a seven forty ops against lefties

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 2>and only have two home runs. Those two home runs

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>came from Pahz and Rojas. So the Dodgers. If you remember,

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 2>in the off season of twenty three going into twenty four,

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 2>wanted to sign Taoscar Hernandez because he was really good

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>against left handed pitching. The last two years he has

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.000
<v Speaker 2>not been and Taoscar is in a big slump. He

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>was hitting third today he was hitless again, So the

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have hopefully can get him a day off more

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 2>often than they have to start the year, because you

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 2>need to get Taoscar off your feet. Dave Roberts talked

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>about that in spring training and they haven't done it.

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Alex call is a great option until tom Yedman and

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>keyk Hernandez come back. Eight six six nine eight seven

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Astros today twelve to two. We'll get to your phone

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>calls in a moment, but we want to head back

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.400
<v Speaker 2>to Houston right now because Tyler Glass now just spoke

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>to the media about what he was feeling as he

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>was warming up for the second inning and had to

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>leave because of lower back pain.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Tyler, you've been having such an excellent season. Can you

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 3>just describe what you felt going into that second inning

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 3>of work and what led to just some of that

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 3>lower back pain you're dealing with.

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's just like a normal, well not normal, but

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.679
<v Speaker 4>like a spasm that kind of just gives out. I've

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 4>gotten it since like high school, just like being tall.

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 4>I guess I get it like a couple of times

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 4>a year. It's just a warm up pitch and it

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 4>gave out, and I try to throw another one and

0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 4>it just it was like too hard to bend over.

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 5>But it's not too serious. I've had this a few times.

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 4>It's just one of those things where it's thrown out

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 4>and once it feels better, it feels better, and it

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 4>shouldn't be too long.

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 3>If I recall last year, I think when we were

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>in Baltimore, you had missed a start due to this.

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Is it similar to that kind of and being able

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 3>to likely post your next one?

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't really know.

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 4>I can't comment on it now, I guess, but it's

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 4>like the same type of thing, like just yeah, just

0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 4>like a spasm.

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 5>You've had, delta, but this or just sort of just

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 5>give you peace of mind. It's like this is sort

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 5>of like a one off type of thing.

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 4>I'm not like worried about it at all. It's more

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 4>about just like I hope I can come back sooner

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 4>than later. But it's it doesn't seem to feel too serious,

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 4>so I'm not too worried about it.

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 5>So you feel during the first thing and all it.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 4>Is, it's just like a random everything felt really good,

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 4>and then I threw that warm up pitch and I

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 4>could just feel it.

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 6>I'll give out, which typically like dictates how quickly you

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 6>come back from this kind of thing, just like how

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 6>you feel like it.

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.239
<v Speaker 5>It's more like the next few days.

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes it's longer and sometimes it's shorter, but it doesn't

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 4>feel it too bad right now.

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 5>It's never like too long.

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 4>It's just more about like however much time I do

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 4>take off, I have to build back up. But I'm

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 4>trying to go as quick as possible, obviously not trying

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 4>to make it any worse.

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 5>But I'm not super worried about it. But we'll see.

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.839
<v Speaker 5>As I started feeling better since you first felt it today, Yeah,

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 5>so it's hard to tell like day of, but it's not.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 4>It's not too bad, so hopefully it will be better

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:52.839
<v Speaker 4>the next couple of days.

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, So I guess the flight back to LA

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>from Houston, that's not ideal for a bad back. Maybe

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 2>he'll do the Larry and Tyler Glassnow will lay down

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>in the center aisle of the Dodgers' number one plane,

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 2>player's only plane, which is very spacious. I've ridden on

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 2>that plane once before, so he should have enough room

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and be able to get the treatment he needs on

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the way back from Houston. If you're wondering, Okay, Tyler

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 2>glass Now, let's put him on the IL miss a

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 2>start and Blake Snell could just slide into his next

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>start day. Well, it's a little bit more complicated because

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell is going to make one more rehab start

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Saturday in Ontario. At least that was the plan before

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>glass Now's injury. I don't see the Dodgers deviating from

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>that plan. But all the talk and debate by people

0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>in the media about who's the odd man out when

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell comes back all of a sudden is a

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 2>moot point. When you have Glassnell dealing with a bad

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>back that could land him on the IL all of

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, Sheehan, Roki Robleski. There's room for all of them,

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.199
<v Speaker 2>and the next start for glass Now would likely be Monday,

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.080
<v Speaker 2>the opener of a four game series at Dodger Stadium

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.680

<v Speaker 2>Mike lead us off on Dodger Talk.

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 7>I'd just like to say, it's a beautiful day here

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 7>in southern California. So let's get Glass now out of

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 7>the humidity, get him a massage. And it feels great

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 7>to beat the brakes off the Astros, doesn't it.

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean anytime you get a win, right, I know

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 2>what you're alluding to, the twenty seventeen Astros. Carlos Korea,

0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 2>by the way, out for months now with an angle injury. Yeah,

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 2>nobody will ever get over the twenty seventeen World Series

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 2>if they were wearing a Dodger uniform that day, Mike,

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 2>or if you're a Dodger fan, So yeah, nobody will

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 2>ever get over that, no matter how much they want

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 2>to deny it publicly, some more than others. But yeah,

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed the Dodgers beating up on Lance mccullors, who

0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>was part of that seventeen Astros team.

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.719
<v Speaker 5>Heh, yeah, it was.

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 7>It was a good day.

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 5>It was.

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 7>It was fun.

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we've established it's a good day. Mike, you live

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>in Long Beach. Congratulations, we know it's beautiful. Stop rubbing

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 2>it in our faces. Thanks for the phone call, Mike.

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out, geez, we know you live in a

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 2>great area. Let's go out to Shane on Dodger Talk.

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Shane? You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing?

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it a beautiful day where you live?

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 8>To Shane, Actually it's kind of windy, so that it

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 8>was not a great day. But I sure can get

0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:01.439
<v Speaker 8>some good use. You know. I love the game today.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 8>We won. I like to talk about Otani a little bit.

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 8>But if there's any way that I can get.

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 2>The don't beg don't don't don't act.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 8>No. If there's any way that I can see that Otani,

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.520
<v Speaker 8>it seems that it seems like he he he goes

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.280
<v Speaker 8>after some of these pitches I mean, it looks like

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.719
<v Speaker 8>he looks silly sometimes when he's when he's going after it,

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.079
<v Speaker 8>especially when there's there's something like that are down the

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 8>street or are down in the middle and you know,

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 8>the little kerr balls and things like that. So I

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 8>have a little concern with that because I think he's

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 8>a better hitter. He seems the greatest hitter ever. But

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 8>I would like to see him, you know, go after

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 8>these sliders or whatever he's going to go after, you know,

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.679
<v Speaker 8>a little bit better instead of letting them and let

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 8>him go a little bit instead of trying to, you know, uh,

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 8>get a home run on it. Does that make sense?

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 2>No, But I'll give you tickets to will Smith. Netflix.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Is a joke, Gayla Tomorrow. It seems like that's what

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 2>you want, Shane.

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.959
<v Speaker 8>Well, I appreciate that, but I really wanted to talk

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:07.960
<v Speaker 8>about the autony thing.

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 8>I just seems like when he's when he's when he's hitting.

0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll just make it simpler for you, Shane. He's the

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 2>greatest hitter player in the game right now. But I

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.360
<v Speaker 2>today he did look tired. I thought it was incredibly

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 2>fortunate for him to be able to double in the

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>third inning because he surrounded the baseball, and if you

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>watch the replay, he's barely watching the ball hit the bat,

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 2>And that just screams of a guy that was exhausted

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>at the beginning of the game. But he's so great

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 2>that he was able to double. So I understand what

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 2>you're saying to a certain extent, but you trying to

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 2>talk about certain pitches that he should hit shouldn't hit.

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Then we're all starting to go outside of our lanes.

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 8>Okay, fair enough. I appreciate that. It just it makes

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 8>a little sense.

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 2>And where are you calling from, Shane? I don't know

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>to do you want to go to the Will Smith

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 2>comedy show tomorrow?

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 8>Oh? I would love to can I Is that okay?

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Is it okay?

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:10.720
<v Speaker 8>I would love to Yes, I will go.

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.920

<v Speaker 2>five seventy. By the way, you know, in a game

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 2>like this where Pahez hits three home runs, drives in

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 2>six runs, the Dodgers have seven extra base hits all

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>in all, you might have forgotten how the Dodgers scored

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 2>their first three runs. And for an offense that was

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of struggling, it was nice to get three freebies

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers scored their first three runs today on

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 2>wild pitches by Lance mccullors junior. The last time that

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 2>happened was August fourteenth, nineteen sixty nine, when the Phillies

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 2>used three wild pitches from the Braves to score their

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.439
<v Speaker 2>first three runs. So that doesn't happen very often, and

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 2>certainly obviously it hasn't happened since nineteen sixty nine. So

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.160
<v Speaker 2>thank you to the Elias Sports Bureau for looking that up,

0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 2>because that was very strange. Kyle Tucker was wild pitch

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>home to tie the game at one, and then in

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 2>the third inning while Freddie Freeman's standing there at the plate,

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 2>two runs scored on wild pitches, first Alex Friedland and

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.359
<v Speaker 2>then when he scored, Otani moved up ninety feet and

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 2>was at third base when mccullor's junior uncourked another one.

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.879
<v Speaker 2>So that's how the Dodgers scored their first three runs today.

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 2>They go on to beat the Astros twelve to two,

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:52.399
<v Speaker 2>take two out of three in Houston. Disappointing they couldn't

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 2>win yesterday they only scored one run with Otani pitching

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 2>seven innings, but they'll take a split on the road trip.

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Losing two out of three in Saint Louis and then

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.919
<v Speaker 2>coming back and taking care of business against the Astros.

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Let's go back out to the phones, Manny in downtown.

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Manny?

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.199
<v Speaker 9>I can't complain in DV seventy seven degrees as live

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.399
<v Speaker 9>in one of the best cities in the world. My

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 9>Dodgers just beat Houston, and that's always good. I'm one

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 9>of those jaded fans from twenty seventeen. No matter how

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 9>many titles we get, that one's always gonna have a

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 9>bad taste in my mouth. But you know what, it's

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 9>always a little bit better when they beat those guys.

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.399
<v Speaker 9>So shout out to my boys. Great job in Houston.

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what, man. The reason why we will

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 2>never get over that is the narrative that Kershaw was

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:41.919
<v Speaker 2>not a good postseason pitcher. Could have been changed that

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 2>year because Game five he was unbelievable. He pitched a

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 2>great Game one of that World Series. And then you

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 2>think about guys like Rich Hill and Andre e Thier,

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Logan Forsyth. They never got another chance to win a

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>World Series. Not to mention Chase Utley's last major League game,

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 2>was Game seven, so is andre Ethiers of the World

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Series that year. So it changed lives, make no mistake

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:07.239
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.440
<v Speaker 9>Oh and I'm embracing the whole evil Empire thing from

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.679
<v Speaker 9>here on out fully, So I'm a fully evil Dodgers.

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 9>However the other MLB fans want to call it, I

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 9>love it, so I live for that. I do want

0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.200
<v Speaker 9>to just mention, though, everyone not to panic about Glass. Now,

0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 9>he sounded pretty confident, but you know, it's never ideal

0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:29.920
<v Speaker 9>when your pitcher goes out with the backspasm. But this

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 9>team is built by Andrew Friedman just specifically for times

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 9>like this. You know, they got the three guys, Robleski, Rokie, Shaheen,

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 9>she and she and sheh He's having They're all having

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.399
<v Speaker 9>great years. Well, Rokie up and down. But you know,

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 9>like you mentioned many times on Dodger Talk, the game

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 9>finds people. And you know, all this talk about sending

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.280
<v Speaker 9>Roki down or blah blah blah, guess what, we can't

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 9>afford to send him down.

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:19:57.359 --> 0:19:59.640
<v Speaker 9>Now it's another chance for him to maybe get back

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 9>on the whole, try to figure things out. And you know,

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm rooting for him because he has a lot of

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.919
<v Speaker 9>raw talent, so maybe this is another chance for him

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 9>to go at it. And one last thing I'll say

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 9>to the guy who won the tickets at the gala,

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 9>have a great time, buddy, you deserve it. Don't stress

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 9>about the greatest hitter ever. Maybe Will Smith will pull

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 9>you aside and kind of show you some stuff why

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 9>he's the best. So don't worry about it.

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:23.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, Manny, you could be there with the guy

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.440
<v Speaker 2>that won tickets, because I have a pair of tickets

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 2>for you.

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 9>Wow, I'm on, you know what, DV. Can I do

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.880
<v Speaker 9>something that's very rare these days? I like the passos

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.439
<v Speaker 9>tickets forward to the next caller, if that's okay. I

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 9>have to work tomorrow, and I'm very solid at work,

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 9>but I about the passos up to the next guy.

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 5>All right, Maddie.

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I like that gratitude. I like that unselfishness. So hopefully

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 2>we see you at Dodgers Stadium on this home stand.

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Manny. Eight six six nine

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>beat the Astros today twelve to two. Show. Hey O

0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Tani got out of his slump. He had two It's today.

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 2>He was zero for eighteen, coming into his at bat

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 2>in the third inning when he doubled Alex Friedland to

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 2>third base. And look, here's my idea for show, hey Otani,

0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 2>If there's any way the Dodgers can do this, I

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 2>think it might benefit him as far as recovery time

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and just taking some of the load off being a

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 2>two way player again. They had lined up his pitch

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 2>days to be Wednesday because they had a lot of

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Thursdays off in the first six weeks of the season. Well,

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Thursdays are pretty much an off day in baseball, whether

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.359
<v Speaker 2>it's a travel day or just a true off day

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 2>like tomorrow. But if the Dodgers were able to re

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 2>establish when Otani pitches and starts games to a Sunday

0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, you could sit him on a

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Monday or there are Monday days off, And if you

0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>look at Sunday's their day games. So he's not starting

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 2>at seven ten, he's starting at one ten. He could

0:21:56.560 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>have the rest of Sunday into Monday to recover. His

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 2>bullpen day wouldn't have to be until Wednesday, and since

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday is his start day still true to form, Thursdays

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 2>are usually a travel day. Or an off day. If

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers somehow Someway could reset his start days to Sunday,

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that would take a lot of the

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 2>load off of him having to bounce back as quickly

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.440
<v Speaker 2>as he's being asked to bounce back right now. I'm

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 2>not sure when they can do that, whether it's when

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Snell returns or not, but I think Sundays are are

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe the best day for Otani to start moving forward.

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if the Dodgers agree. Eight six six, nine

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy is the phone number. Let's

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 2>go out to Eric and Hollywood. You're on Dodger Talk

0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:45.280

0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 10>cheeks throws today, just punishing him today, and I didn't.

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 10>I didn't think he looked tired at all.

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 11>Man.

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 10>I mean, he's a two way player, one of the

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:25.160
<v Speaker 10>greatest players I've ever seen, and of course he's gonna

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 10>have swings and stuff, so I'm not really worried about it.

0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.960

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.160

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.640
<v Speaker 12>that I rival against, I really like them because they're

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 12>great teams. I know, because I hate the Giants naturally,

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 12>and and I hate the Houston Astros, but.

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 11>But they have great players. I love Al Tube. It's

0:24:38.640 --> 0:24:42.520
<v Speaker 11>just like Boston and the Lakers. I would write, I

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:44.639

<v Speaker 7>of course. And well, I want to beat these Astros

0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 7>on Hey, a.

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.360
<v Speaker 2>A primo win a little bit too far. He doesn't

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>want to hate any other teams, but he's gonna drop

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 2>some a holes on the radio. You can't go that far, Primo.

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 2>We get it. We get it when you say, hey,

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 2>it's in a sporting fashion, thank you for the life lesson.

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to uh, let's go out to uh Claremont,

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Gabby and Claremont. You're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Gabby.

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 13>Hey, how's it going.

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's a beautiful day in Claremont, Burbank and uh

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:35.240
<v Speaker 2>wherever you may.

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 5>Be listening exactly.

0:25:37.520 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 7>I just want to say, no one gives Roberts enough credit.

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 7>He's a big a.

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 3>At the end if he's losing, but when he's winning,

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 3>nobody nobody gives him that hey high five.

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 2>I actually feel like, uh, I actually feel like Dave

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Roberts has been getting a lot of credit and it's

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 2>crazy that it took winning back to back championships to

0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 2>get that valid from the fan base. I agree with you, Gabby.

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I thought the fan base was a little too harsh

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 2>on him. But the guy that I feel doesn't get

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 2>enough love is Andrew Friedman. Without these players, without Andrew Freedman,

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Friedman, the guy that puts it all together.

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 5>Gabby, I know I'm kidding.

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I know exactly. See, oh joke, So you like jokes?

0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:23.360
<v Speaker 2>You want to go to the joke then tomorrow?

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:25.679
<v Speaker 13>Oh yes, I would love to thank you.

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you see Andrew Friedman, you better be nice

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 2>to him.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:29.719
<v Speaker 6>I am.

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:30.760
<v Speaker 13>I have a gift for him.

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, what's that?

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:35.119
<v Speaker 10>I made him a Dodger T shirt.

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 13>I make T shirts, so I made him one.

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 7>Hopefully he's there, all right.

0:26:39.119 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you want to be serious about this thing,

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:44.119
<v Speaker 2>I think Dave Roberts gets more than enough credit. I

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 2>don't feel like enough people talk about Andrew Friedman because

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 2>he's put together a powerhouse going back to twenty fifteen.

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 7>I agree, all right, it sure does.

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 2>And if you're going to say Dave Roberts in one sentence,

0:26:58.320 --> 0:27:01.959
<v Speaker 2>you better say Andrew Friedman in the same sentence. All right, Gabby,

0:27:36.160 --> 0:27:39.200
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. By

0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:42.159
<v Speaker 2>the way, I mentioned this during the Clubhouse Show. It

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.919
<v Speaker 2>was great to see Freddie Freeman bounce back on this

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 2>road trip because the last homestand was ugly and I

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.159
<v Speaker 2>know Freddy got that illness that was going through the

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodger clubhouse, but he looked really lethargic, and it could

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:57.439
<v Speaker 2>have been because he was hit by it. He was

0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:00.520
<v Speaker 2>just three for twenty five on the last home stand.

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 2>On this road trip, Freddie hit three seventy five with

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>two doubles and four RBIs. So that was good to see.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 2>And let's see him carry that over against his former team,

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the Atlanta Braves, the team with the best record in

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the National League. They're going to be at Dodger Stadium

0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>starting Friday night. So we hope to see you at

0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium over the weekend to really feel the event

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 2>of being at a Dodger game, especially against the caliber

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 2>of team like the Atlanta Braves. Let's go out to

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Loch Rasenna. Mark, you're on Dodger Talk with David vasse Hi. Mark.

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 13>Hey, David, how's it going.

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 2>It's going great.

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 13>I know we've talked about Pahes a little bit already today,

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 13>but I just talk about.

0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Him MOREZ keep talking.

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 13>I was worried about him last year for the postseason

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:51.920
<v Speaker 13>and that he was going to slump this year, but

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 13>he started out really strong and then he slumped a

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:56.360
<v Speaker 13>little bit again. I'm like, oh no, I hope he's

0:28:56.400 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 13>not going through that again. And it looks like he's

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:02.959
<v Speaker 13>turning the corner again, and I'm hoping for positive going forward.

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 13>Just a great guy. Three home runs today, You couldn't

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 13>ask for anything better.

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, he just looks like a different guy, Mark, going

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 2>back to spring training, he put a lot of work

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 2>in to try to be a more selective hitter. He's

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 2>put in the preparation during the offseason during spring training,

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:21.719
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't a surprise that he was able to

0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 2>come out and hit the way he did to start

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the year. But the biggest thing for Pahes is to

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>limit these type of slumps, and so far, I would

0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 2>say he's passed the first test of limiting the slump

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 2>because he didn't let it extend to a one for

0:29:37.880 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty or an zero for twenty. He came out of

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 2>it pretty well.

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 14>Yeah he did.

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 13>I mean, we all loved him hitting close to four

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 13>hundred and would hope that that would continue for the season,

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 13>but obviously reality sets in and that's likely going to

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 13>be impossible. But still happy about him nonetheless.

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 2>And he's playing great center field. Thanks for the phone call, Mark, appreciated. Paz,

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 2>by the way, with the three home runs today has

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 2>eight home runs. Max Munsey leads the team with nine.

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Paez is sitting three thirty six after having six hits

0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:13.719
<v Speaker 2>in his last two games. Yeah, last night he had

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:17.320
<v Speaker 2>three hits as well. Tonight or today he homer three

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 2>times and drove in six runs. So his average back

0:30:20.720 --> 0:30:23.760
<v Speaker 2>up to three thirty six, his ops back up to

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 2>nine forty five, and both of those are the best

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 2>on the team for a guy that plays every day.

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Eugene, Oregon. Tom listening on the

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio app. Hi, Tom, You're on Dodger Talk.

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:41.320
<v Speaker 15>Hey, David, just real quickly. You know what, I gotta

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 15>agree with Gaby and you. The Dodgers front office is

0:30:44.880 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 15>just light years ahead of everybody else. I mean with

0:30:48.400 --> 0:30:51.440
<v Speaker 15>the minor leagues. When they pull in these free agents

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 15>and how they handle their team, it's just really, you know,

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 15>a model for the rest of the league. So instead

0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 15>of everybody complaining about ooh, the dog evil Empire too

0:31:01.160 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 15>much money, everybody should be trying to copy what the

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 15>Dodgers are doing.

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:07.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at Hayesong Kim. They signed him with

0:31:07.880 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 2>international money for twelve million dollars and at the time

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:15.280
<v Speaker 2>that he he the Dodgers owned an option on him,

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 2>so in twenty seven and twenty eight they could be

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.720
<v Speaker 2>paying him five million dollars for premier player that plays

0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:25.840
<v Speaker 2>stellar defense. They traded Dustin Made to the Red Sox

0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 2>last year, or I shouldn't say they. Andrew Friedman traded

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Dustin May to the Red Sox last year. Dustin May

0:31:32.960 --> 0:31:36.840
<v Speaker 2>made five starts for the Red Sox. They went nowhere,

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and he acquired Zach Earhart and James Tibbs, the third

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>who was tearing up Triple A for five starts of

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Dustin May.

0:31:48.680 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 14>Unbelievable.

0:31:50.440 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Tom, I love that validation. Eight sixty six

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:31:56.360 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's proven by the Mets record. They have

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 2>spent almost as much as the Dodgers payroll this year.

0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:09.760
<v Speaker 2>It proves that money and payroll does not guarantee a

0:32:09.800 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 2>winning season or a championship. And the Mets, you look

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 2>at their roster, where the heck did a half a

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars go? And around the industry, it seems like

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the shine is off. David Stearns for sure. Now part

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers genius is in this day and age

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of sho Hey Otani and the Otani era and Dodger

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>baseball is to be able to go out and flix

0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:38.280
<v Speaker 2>that financial might by signing Kyle Tucker and coming into

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 2>last year signing Blake Snell, and Blake Snell is this

0:32:42.000 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 2>close to returning and making his season debut. He's going

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 2>to make his last rehab start Saturday in Ontario, So

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:54.800
<v Speaker 2>it will be a big Sabitol Higante Saturday in Ontario

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 2>as that will be Snell's final tune up and you

0:32:58.120 --> 0:33:00.920
<v Speaker 2>can do the math. He's lined up to pitching Anaheim

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 2>when the Dodgers play there a week from Friday. Eight

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:09.280
<v Speaker 2>six six nine seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Astros today twelve to two, and today's

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 2>game was brought to you by Modello Modello the mark

0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of a fighter. Also great to see Brock Stewart back

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 2>on the mound for the Dodgers. He went through elbow

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 2>surgery last year after the Dodgers acquired him at the deadline.

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 2>He did not start the year with the Dodgers, so

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:34.480
<v Speaker 2>today was a perfect day to get Stuart into the

0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 2>game for the first time this year. He was actually

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>activated before the game, the Dodgers sent down Jake Eder

0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 2>and Brock Stuart was activated off the il and he

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 2>pitched a scoreless ninth and had two strikeouts. So another

0:33:48.800 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 2>weapon for Dave Roberts in the bullpen. Let's go out

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>to Culver City. Seth, you're on Dodger Talk. How you

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 2>doing Seth today?

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:00.600
<v Speaker 14>I'm good, DV. Thanks for taking my call. I actually

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 14>heard something on the broadcast today that Rick Monday said,

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:06.880
<v Speaker 14>and he said, we're twenty three percent done with the season.

0:34:06.920 --> 0:34:08.360
<v Speaker 14>I was like, dang, you know, we're already at the

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.440
<v Speaker 14>quarter pole almost, And it made me kind of do

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.760
<v Speaker 14>a quick like reflection on the season, which is, aren't

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:17.000
<v Speaker 14>the Dodgers exactly where they want to be?

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 11>I mean, we can we can.

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.760
<v Speaker 14>Always look at they don't quite have the best record

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:22.880
<v Speaker 14>in the NL right now, the Braves do. I know

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.239
<v Speaker 14>the Yankees might have a little better record, but they're

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 14>sitting pretty in my opinion in terms of like they're

0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 14>relatively healthy. Yeah, I know, Mookie's gonna has been out

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.360
<v Speaker 14>for a little while. But if we can kind of

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 14>look at it from that perspective, aren't we kind of

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.839
<v Speaker 14>like a race horse. You want to be sitting at

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 14>the top, but not burning all your energy in the

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 14>first quarter. You want to be saving some of that.

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 14>What's your take on all that? If we kind of

0:34:45.200 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 14>look back from the quarter pole of the season, now

0:34:47.760 --> 0:34:50.080
<v Speaker 14>almost are we are? We kind of where we need

0:34:50.120 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 14>to be. Yeah, I'm curious curious what you think about that.

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you, Seth. You're right. The Dodgers are where

0:34:56.239 --> 0:34:58.239
<v Speaker 2>they need to be. They're in first place in the

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:02.799
<v Speaker 2>NL West, tied with the surprising Padres, who somehow with

0:35:02.920 --> 0:35:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the team they have, are twenty two and fourteen. But

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:09.360
<v Speaker 2>like the Dodgers have talked about the last two years,

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to be a hot offensive team in

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 2>May or June. You want to be hitting on all

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>cylinders as an offense going into the postseason. So I

0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 2>guess that's the silver lining from what we've seen so far, Seth,

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:28.239
<v Speaker 2>that you would hope the best of the Dodger offense

0:35:28.480 --> 0:35:31.279
<v Speaker 2>is yet to come, and you hope it's in October.

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 2>So I'm with you on that level. But I will

0:35:35.680 --> 0:35:39.720
<v Speaker 2>say this, Seth, it's shocking to me not more people

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 2>have called in to ask when Mookie Betts is returning

0:35:42.680 --> 0:35:46.440
<v Speaker 2>because Mookie Bets is very much needed right now in

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 2>this lineup, and would I would go as far as

0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 2>to say, when Mookie Bets comes back, I would toy

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:58.040
<v Speaker 2>with the idea of putting him back in the leadoff spot.

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:00.399
<v Speaker 14>That you know what, I mean, You're right, and he's

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 14>a huge presence in the lineup, and I think that

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:05.320
<v Speaker 14>just goes to the fact that nobody's been really asking

0:36:05.320 --> 0:36:08.200
<v Speaker 14>about him more. How how deep the Dodgers are. We

0:36:08.239 --> 0:36:10.400
<v Speaker 14>all know that, and I agree with you, But to

0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:13.279
<v Speaker 14>have his presence in the one or the two hole,

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:15.919
<v Speaker 14>I mean, it just makes everybody else better around him,

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:17.879
<v Speaker 14>It really does. And so you're right, they're kind of

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:20.640
<v Speaker 14>That's what I mean. They're still they're still where they

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 14>they're in first place, and they clearly aren't fully healthy.

0:36:24.719 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 14>But yeah, I don't know, I mean, I don't know.

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 14>Here's a question, is show Hey okay coming out of

0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:33.000
<v Speaker 14>the Is he okay coming out of the leadoff spot?

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 14>I mean, I'd be good with putting Vets there, taking

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 14>a little pressure off Show Hey, But is he good

0:36:37.000 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 14>with that?

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>And I know he did it.

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Last year mentality, he did it last year when they

0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 2>were trying to jumpstart Mookie. So in that situation when

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:48.120
<v Speaker 2>Mooki was trying to search for anything, the Dodgers even

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 2>tried the leadoff spot to get him going, and know

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Tani was, uh, you know. The one thing about Otawi

0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 2>people don't seem to to really want to accept is

0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 2>that he's a good teammate. And that was proof last year.

0:37:00.120 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I gotta run, Seth. Thank you for the phone call.

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Great call. Yeah, Mookie Bets is supposed to take live

0:37:05.440 --> 0:37:10.160
<v Speaker 2>BP tomorrow, So you're hoping that the Dodgers are going

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 2>to get Mookie Bets back here in the next week

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 2>or so. Like I said, and I'm not talking about

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:19.319
<v Speaker 2>the Mookie Bets from last year. I'm looking for the

0:37:19.440 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Bets of two years ago and the Mookie Bets

0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:26.960
<v Speaker 2>we have known his entire career. That's the Mookie Bets

0:37:27.280 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers need. Let's take one more phone call, Spencer

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:35.200
<v Speaker 2>in Duarte. You're on Dodgery Talk. How you doing, Spencer, Hey.

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 5>Dave, quick question for you.

0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 6>A lot of thoughts this year has been about Ken

0:37:40.800 --> 0:37:44.359
<v Speaker 6>Rokie Sasaki kind of get it all together, figure it out,

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 6>be the starting pitcher that we need him to be.

0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:51.160
<v Speaker 6>And at the same time, can Emmett she and Stan

0:37:51.200 --> 0:37:55.359
<v Speaker 6>in the lineup. Do you think there would be any

0:37:55.360 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 6>type of beneficial positivity to maybe having rookie start a game,

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:06.239
<v Speaker 6>maybe go four five innings, and then have Emmit she

0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 6>and take the back end or vice versa.

0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought, actually that, Spencer, I think that may have

0:38:12.560 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 2>been the plan before this injury to Glass now, because

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:19.279
<v Speaker 2>you can't take Robleski out of the rotation the way

0:38:19.280 --> 0:38:22.399
<v Speaker 2>he's pitching to be that guy in that role, and

0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:24.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, there's an argument to be made. The jury

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:26.960
<v Speaker 2>still out on whether or not Emmit Sheen is a

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher or whether or not he's better as a reliever.

0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 2>So right now, if you just had to pick one

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:35.840
<v Speaker 2>man that was out, it would be Shehan out of

0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 2>those three. But now with the injury to Glass now

0:38:38.719 --> 0:38:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and the uncertainty with whether or not he's going on

0:38:41.400 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 2>the IL, that's kind of a moot point, Spencer. Wouldn't

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:48.799
<v Speaker 2>you say, Hey, pot him up, we need to hear

0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:50.080
<v Speaker 2>stay there we go?

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:50.920
<v Speaker 5>Sorry?

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 6>Sorry, Dave. It went back to I was a really

0:38:54.600 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 6>big fan of Dustin May and the cat Man. I

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:03.280
<v Speaker 6>always thought they should have been a boy.

0:39:03.239 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Down down boy, Hey, I heard your dog working in

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:09.399
<v Speaker 2>the back, so I just want to calm him down.

0:39:09.680 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 6>I always thought I always thought those two would have

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:14.319
<v Speaker 6>been a good duo when they were younger as well.

0:39:14.440 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 13>So, but thanks for the thanks for their feedback.

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at Dustin May. Couldn't stay healthy. He

0:39:19.960 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 2>he had maybe the nastiest pitch, maybe the nastiest stuff

0:39:23.160 --> 0:39:27.839
<v Speaker 2>on the Dodger staff, just couldn't put it together consistently. Absolutely,

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:30.799
<v Speaker 2>you know you can't just be a thrower. I think

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 2>what we've learned is you have to be a pitcher.

0:39:34.280 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 2>And Mark Pryor was our pregame guest. We shared that

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 2>full conversation on Dodger Talk last night. I thought, if

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 2>you go back to listen to what he said about

0:39:43.239 --> 0:39:46.879
<v Speaker 2>Justin Robleski at some point, and it feels like even

0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts said this in Toronto. The industry is turning

0:39:50.840 --> 0:39:54.200
<v Speaker 2>back to having starters being able to face the lineup

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 2>three times if you're good enough, and Justin Robleski has

0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 2>proven you can do that without getting swing and miss.

0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:04.879
<v Speaker 2>Now is that sustainable the whole year? I think it

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:08.400
<v Speaker 2>is no strikeouts in one start. That's not going to

0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:10.720
<v Speaker 2>happen every time. You got to get a few swings

0:40:10.719 --> 0:40:14.040
<v Speaker 2>and misses, but he has proven that there are other

0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:17.680
<v Speaker 2>ways to get out and with the defense the Dodgers

0:40:17.680 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 2>have and it's been the best in baseball this year.

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.319
<v Speaker 2>What's wrong with having a guy that induces a lot

0:40:23.360 --> 0:40:26.319
<v Speaker 2>of contact? All right, that'll do it for us. On

0:40:26.480 --> 0:40:30.640
