WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (8-15-26) 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.239 The quest for the three peat has begne. 0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:07.400 Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:12.120 three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:13.360 the fifth. 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.960 This is World Champion Dodger Talk. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.160 Here we go again. We're got to running back to. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.920 Get in on the show called eight six six eighty 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.640 seven two five seven day and be sure to follow 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:28.080 Dodger Talk wherever you catch short podcasts. Here's your host, 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:30.280 David Vase that day. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:35.200 Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vasse with you until eight 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:39.960 o'clock tonight live from Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium. After 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:44.640 Jacob Mizowski put on a show today shoving against the 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.480 Dodgers and beating them four to one. Miserowski win six 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:51.600 innings today, did not even throw one hundred pitches, but 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.840 the first four pitches of the game were over one 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.320 hundred miles an hour, almost one hundred and four miles 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.720 an hour against show hailed. You heard what he had 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.120 to say to Ken Rosenthal after the game that it 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.640 was fun to go up against Otani. Otani knew he 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.679 was coming at him and he couldn't hit him. So 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.479 when you're throwing the first four pitches of a game 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.560 at one hundred and four miles an hour. Obviously it 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.360 is worth the price of admission. And forty seven thousand 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:27.800 plus weren't just coincidentally at Dodger Stadium today. They were 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.559 here to see the miz go up against the Dodgers, 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.120 and today Misowski got the best of them. Eight six 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.240 six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Look, 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.360 Reggie Smith was on her before the game. I mentioned 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.480 this during the Clubhouse show. This is not like what's 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.920 wrong with the Dodger offense. Maybe there's a little bit 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.800 of that. I mean, they haven't really performed all that 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:56.640 well in the last twenty games. Ish we could go 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.960 even further farther back than that. But today was just 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.880 about Misrowski, and then you shortened the game for a 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.600 very good Brewers bullpen and Aaron Ashby, who has been 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.600 all everything for the Brewers out of the bullpen this year, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:16.360 picks up his first save. This is just about Misowski 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.000 and the reason why I brought up Reggie Smith. This 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.280 was back like in the early eighties when Reggie Smith 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.200 and those Dodgers had to face Nolan Ryan and Jr. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.760 Richard or you know Dave Roberts. Dodger teams had to 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.400 face Randy Johnson in his prime, that's what this is. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.679 Or the mid eighties eighty six to what nineteen ninety 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.480 Dwight Gooden for the Mets, that's what this is. So 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.400 if you were at the game today and you were 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:51.760 watching Miserowski versus Otani, Miserowski versus Freddie Freeman, those are historical, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:56.720 transcendent matchups. And today Misowski was on his game. And 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.480 in that fifth inning when the Dodgers were able to 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.560 load the against Misserowski with one out, that was everything 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:07.560 you wanted taaskar. Hernandez was able to get a fortunate 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.440 bounce off the second baseman's foot. Then Alex Call took 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:16.080 advantage of a misfire by Misrowski up and over and 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.920 Alex Call was able to shove it to right field. 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.040 You heard Misowski understand their game plan. They were trying 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.480 to take him the other way. Hunter Fiduccu was fortunate 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.360 to pull the ball to right field as well, and 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.840 that set up bases loaded one out for the guys 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.320 you want at the plate to get you back in 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:38.600 the game against Missowski, and that's Otani and Freddie Freeman. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.320 There was a mountain visit. After Fiduccia got his base 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.400 hit and the bases were loaded, you would have to imagine, 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.560 I know Missowski gave his catcher Contraras all the credit, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.000 but you would have to imagine the pitching coach saw 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:56.160 something and Misslerowski was becoming a little predictable first pitch 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.200 fastballs and he wasn't really commanding it all that well 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.600 to first pitch sliders, and threw Otani a couple of them, 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:07.000 threw them to Freddie Freeman, and they just were have 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.960 to be ready for one hundred and four. And it's 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.280 really hard to defend one hundred and four with command 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.120 and an eighty something Malinaur slider. I mean, I don't 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.120 care how great you are, it's going to be really tough. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.920 And that was the story of the game. The other 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.560 story of the game was Robleski's struggles still giving up 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.479 home runs. Two gave up a pair of two run 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.800 home runs today. The big one was with two outs, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.600 two strikes on William Contraras in the fourth inning. He 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.760 was this close of getting out of that inning and 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.719 keeping the Dodgers closer to Miserowski two to one against 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.320 Miserowski is a lot easier to digest than four to 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.000 one against Miserowski the way he was pitching. And look, 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.520 here's the thing with Robleski. What he was doing so 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.120 well in the first half of the season was getting ahead, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:06.200 which lent itself to allow him to pitch to contact. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.960 And also he had better command of his fastball the 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:12.520 first half of the season, or I should say even 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.559 into the second half of the season before these last 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:16.360 three starts. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.320 The last three starts. 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.839 He hasn't been getting ahead and his fastballs are getting 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.960 way too much of the plate and he's working behind. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.000 Today he only threw fourteen of his twenty four pitches. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.240 He only had fourteen first pitch strikes. You know, that 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.839 was the issue today. And again missing with this fastball 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.440 to Contraras just didn't have command and played right into 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.200 Contreras's hands in the fourth inning. So that's the story 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.360 with Robleski, and it's not just David Vasse trying to 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.920 play pitching coach. That's the feedback I'm getting from other 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.960 players on both sides. Eight sixty six nine eight seven 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.920 two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.880 to Robin in San Diego. You're on Dodger Talk. How 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:01.599 you doing, Robin? 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.960 I'm doing well. How about yourself, David. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.839 I'm doing well. It's a great show today. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:09.320 Yeah. 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.960 I mean, there's no question that this guy's a superb 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.640 pitcher and he put the pedal to the metal, and 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.360 you know, it just came out the way I did. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.039 The thing that I'm most concerned about it just the 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.479 general overall performance of the Dodgers. It's you know, you know, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.320 like Monday was saying in the Free Game that every 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.960 game counts right now, and I mean, you're gonna lose 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.760 something like today. I mean, this guy's a really he's 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.039 a stud muffin out there. But I'm just wondering about 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.719 how are they gonna, you know, like with Diaz and 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.280 the pitching thing, I mean, like, do you really want 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.840 to put him in situations that they could lose games? 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.800 I mean, why wouldn't they put him in the sixth 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.520 inning and see if you can kind of get his 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.120 stuff together and that sort of thing. And how do 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.960 you feel about like the Arizona and the Potteries, Milwaukee 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.400 and the Braves, how well they've been doing and the 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.560 Dodgers been faltering. We've been fifteen fifteen. Now you take 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.640 on the actual situation, what's coming down. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.400 Well, the bullpen's a little thin. They're a man down 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.680 because the Dodgers are sticking with the six man rotation 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.760 and that limits them to have just seven relievers in 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.120 the bullpen, and they've been used a lot. They've been 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.240 used a lot. But I'll say this Robin last year, 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.000 the Brewers beat the Dodgers all seven times in the 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.680 regular season, and the Dodgers swept them in the NLCS. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.160 So it's a different story. When you get to the postseason, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.560 the Dodger pitching staff will be much different than what 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.440 it is today and in the regular season. But my 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.880 biggest concern isn't Edwin Diaz. It's not the bullpen. It's 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.720 the offense. The offense has got to get going, and 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.160 it's hard to get going when all season long, Kyle 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.680 Tucker has basically been giving you, you know, not the 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.240 Kyle Tucker we have seen in the past, especially at home. 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.000 Mookie Betts is hitting two thirty nine, even after getting 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.280 on a hot streak here in the last couple of weeks. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.280 Ta Oscar Hernandez has been average at best and the 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.200 Dodgers now without Dalton Rushing and Will Smith, are not 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.440 getting a lot of offensive production from their catcher. Now, 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.400 Faduca's had back to back nice offensive games, but he's 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.880 not Will Smith and he's not Dalton Rushing. He's done 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.120 a great job defensively, and that's what the Dodgers want. 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.640 They're not looking for offense first, but Will Smith is 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.280 on a different level. So all those things, to me 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.240 are my biggest concern. How are the Dodgers going to 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.440 get this offense hitting on all cylinders going into the postseason. 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.040 I think you're absolutely right, David. I totally agree with you. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.559 I mean, like I think that and the bullpen really 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.360 they're weak phenomena. I mean, it's just it always seems 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.040 by the seventh any you just never know what's going 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:50.920 to really happen. 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.200 Well that's a bullpen anyway, but I feel like that's 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.960 a blanket statement. The Dodger bullpen's been pretty good the 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.960 majority of the year. They're just getting used a lot, 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.760 and they're missing some guys and they're working guys back. 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.480 So I think all of that, those things have to 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.920 be taken into account. Thanks for the phone call, appreciate it. 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.480 Eight sixty six seven two five seventy is the phone number. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.199 By the way, Kyle Tucker not in the starting lineup today. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.840 Dave Roberts said he just wanted him to watch a 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.360 baseball game today and it was the right move. Alex 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.960 Call got a couple of hits against Jacob Mizerowski and 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.040 also scored the only run against Miserowski, and in the 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.480 game today he had a couple of nice at bats 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.959 against Miserowski. He got the start and right field because, 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:41.120 as we all know, Kyle Tucker has struggled mightily at 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.199 Dodger Stadium. Let's go out to David, who is at. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.440 The game today. Hi David, you're on Dodger Talk. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.720 Hi David, thanks so much for the call. For taking 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.160 the call. Excuse me, Yeah, we were at the game. 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.679 I couldn't agree more what you said about this. I 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.560 mean seeing him in person, he his lank, he lands 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.040 so far forward and then he releases the ball so 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.160 far forward. It's like it's almost like the haters have 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.440 less time than they do with any other pitcher that 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.760 I've seen it. It was so dominant when he's on. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:18.120 I actually I felt bad for our guys. I wanted 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.079 to ask you. We noticed there were a couple of 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.920 balls that were hit ta Oscar's way that he he 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.439 just seems kind of late moving to the ball where 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.720 I thought you might have had a play, and they 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.440 kind of dropped lazily in front of him. So I 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.360 was just curious if that was something that you had noticed. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.120 And then just one little note of I was there 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.720 with my son and Usher came and gave him a 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.840 ball that Mookie had been I think hitt foul. And 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:43.640 so if she's listening us, I wanted to say thank 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.280 you because she totally made it day. So thank you 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:46.960 very much for that. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.160 Yeah, all right, no problem, David. 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:53.200 Look, I rather Taoscar Hernandez played safe, and maybe there 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.160 was some English on those balls to the outfield that 0:10:57.360 --> 0:10:59.640 he wasn't sure how to play, didn't want to take 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.240 a chance. But for the most part, I feel like 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:07.560 Taoscar Hernandez has played average left field defense. I think 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:12.000 that's what the eyes say. Maybe the metrics show a 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.440 little bit below average, but I think he's done a 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.680 fine job out there. They need Taoscar Hernandez to hit. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.600 They're still waiting for Taoscar Hernandez to hit. He only 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.040 has eleven home runs and has been just okay this 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.520 year and they're expecting more from him, definitely down the 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:32.480 stretch and into the postseason. Eight six, six, seven, two 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.880 five seventy is the phone number. Misowski and the Brewers 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.679 beat the Dodgers today four to one. Let's go out 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:43.640 to Altay, who is at the game today. Hi Altay, Hey. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:47.240 Daven first time caller. We were at the game with 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.079 everything we thought he would be. He really looked. He 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.840 really made a show. And Freddy, you know, look a 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.320 little filly out there and with the basis loaded out 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.840 was the turning point of the game that the all wrong. 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.679 Great day with Reggie Smith and the Legends of race well, 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.760 a lot of fun today. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:04.240 Yeah, it really was. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.360 It was great to see all those guys out here 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.760 all day. I mean, that's the beauty of when you 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.320 have the Legends of Dodger Baseball ceremonies. It's not only 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:17.040 honoring Reggie Smith, but it's also an opportunity for all 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.319 his former teammates and a lot of great former Dodgers 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.960 to come together on the same day and celebrate. It 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.040 was awesome to see Dusty Baker and Kenny Landroux and 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:31.400 Steve Garvey and Ron Say. Also Jerry Royce was out here. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.720 That was great to see. Steve Yeager was out here. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.480 I miss Steve Yeger when I first started in twenty 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.439 twelve on an everyday basis with the Dodgers and hosting 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.319 Dodger Talk. He was part of the coaching staff and 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.200 he certainly would be a guy that would let you 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.360 know what his opinion was. So he was a co 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.360 MVP of the eighty one World Series. It was great 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.680 and I love the speeches. I love what Rick Monday 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.400 had to say about Reggie Smith. Those guys came to 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:04.120 the Dodger basically the same offseason and their first opening 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.680 Day together was nineteen seventy seven, so all of it 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.840 was just perfect and it was great to see, you know, 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.600 all the former Dodgers in one suite when I went 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.120 in there. Darryl Thomas was out here, or herscheiser on 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.680 a non sports net LA day was out here to 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.920 celebrate Reggie Smith and of course the former those guys 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.760 included in the legends of Dodger Baseball already. Manny Mota 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.440 was out there. It was that's a special day, and 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.600 that's what separates the Dodgers from many other teams outside 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.360 of the Yankees. And you know, I would say the 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.840 Red Sox have not been on the level of the 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.160 Dodgers and Yankees. But the Dodgers and Yankees, what makes 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.760 them special are the players that have worn the uniform 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.120 because there's a long legacy going back to Brooklyn for 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:56.480 the Dodgers and obviously starting with Jackie Robinson. Let's take 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.880 another phone call before we take a break. Matt in Indio. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.320 You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Matt, Hey. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:09.080 Doing all right? David Gotta. I had to defend Ribolevski 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:10.679 a little bit. I didn't want to do that first, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:15.480 but I is a guy who attacked you, and all 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.680 the numbers are saying with the home runs, you know 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.360 he's the guy who's going to attack you, and he 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:22.120 did his job. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.880 But are you attacking them? Are you attacking the right way? 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.520 Are you deciding that you're just going to stick to 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.080 whatever you've been doing because the hitters are telling you 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.240 something different, Matt, And I will say this, Robleski was 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.520 better today than he was in his previous two starts. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.680 Don't get me wrong, but you gotta have fastball command. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.600 You've got to have command of your pitches if you're 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.640 going to attack the strike zone and you can't get behind. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:48.200 That's all I'm saying. 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.360 You're definitely not wrong there. But he did his job 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:55.280 in that he gave the Dodgers an opportunity to win. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.200 Not really now, when you give up four runs and 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.440 Misslerowski's on the mound, that's like you're losing ten to one. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.640 Giving up that home run to Contreras was a killer. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.400 That was where the game ended. Basically, the Dodgers were 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.440 down four to one. Mizerowski's dealing. Uh, that's a that's 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.960 a steep hill to climb. 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:16.160 There, Matt. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.960 That's a tough one. And you heard thee Roberts say 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.880 that was kind of a good pitch man, but that 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.240 that one two count, you got to get that one 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.640 in the dirt. He kind of really just lost that 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.480 one in there. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.600 So he couldn't get he couldn't get Contreras to chase 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.680 his fastball because it never was close to being a strike. 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:33.960 Yeah. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.600 I mean, you have some good points here, but if 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.080 I can want to thank you. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.480 So you're basically saying, David, I called in and I'm wrong. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.400 You're right, David and I am wrong Matt in Indio. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:45.600 Can you just concede that. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.400 I can conceie. I just wanted to give you a 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:50.800 little a little opposite. 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:57.800 But yeah, I mean I love I love the shark Robleski. Yeah, 0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:59.600 I mean, all right, what do you got to say? 0:15:59.600 --> 0:15:59.960 What else? 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.840 I mean, yes, we understand you got defensive over Robleski, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:04.880 but go ahead and move on. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.080 I mean, mister Rowski was a kid in the flow 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:14.160 state on that mound today and coming into this game. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.760 I mean, I just wanted the Dodgers to download some 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:24.320 information how good approaches, good at bats because we all 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.320 know what the important game is going to be, and 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.360 that's going to be in the playoffs, whether that's you know, 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:34.160 the DS and CS. So I'm not even too upset 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.080 about the loss, because. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.960 Yeah, I do the regular season and the Dodgers are 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:43.280 one of the best teams in baseball. I can understand that, Matt, 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.360 and I think you're just saying tip your cap and 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:46.720 October matters more. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.600 Thank you for the phone call, Geez. You know we 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:51.560 all watched the game. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.640 Just because I painted the picture of what was happening 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.440 with Robleski today doesn't mean I'm quitting on him. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.000 But he's got to be better. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.360 And when you give up four runs on a day 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.760 Mizerowski's on the mound, it's gonna be tough to win 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:07.680 a game. I'm sorry that that's just the reality of it. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.520 I'm not saying he's got a match pitch for pitch, 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.960 but if he keeps the game two to one in 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.359 the fourth inning with two outs instead of giving up 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.840 a two run home run, the Dodgers have a better 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.320 chance of winning. Down the stretch. Eight six six nine 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.160 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We're 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.520 gonna take a time out. When we come back, we'll 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.399 check in with Jose Moda and we'll also get into 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.919 Trek's schoolball facing the Brewers, a team that wanted to 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.399 trade for school ball and is uh I feel like 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.120 a little sour grapes on that side. So that should 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:43.320 be a fun matchup tomorrow as well. Dodgers fall to 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.880 Milwaukee four to one on a five to seventy LA Sports. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.000 This is d Oskar Hernanns. This is the World Champion 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.639 Dodgers Audio Network. Here every game on AM five to 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:04.560 seventy or streaming on the iHeart Radio. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:09.359 David Vassey live at Uniclow Field at Dodgers Stadium. After 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.399 the Brewers defeed the Dodgers today by a final score 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.160 of four to one. Tonight's game brought to you by 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:21.600 Modello Modelo The Mark of a Fighter. Interesting scenario tomorrow 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.000 for the Dodgers. They got Trek Scooble on the mound, 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:29.760 and this game has some playoff implications when it comes 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:34.000 to seeding and home field advantage. If the Dodgers win tomorrow, 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.080 they'll cut the Brewers' lead for the top seed in 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.880 the National League to one game. But also, and more importantly, 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.439 if the Dodgers win tomorrow, they will have won the 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:48.280 season series against the Brewers and would have the tiebreaker 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.240 in a playoffs series if they were to finish with 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.800 the same record, meaning they would have home field advantage 0:18:56.160 --> 0:19:00.080 in a playoffs series. If the Dodgers lose tomorrow, they 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.080 fall further back, three games back of the Brewers, and 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.320 they also lose the tie breakers. So tomorrow Tomorrow's game 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.560 has some October implications. 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:12.520 Let's check in with Jose Mota. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.440 It's tough to go around the horn with Jose Mota. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.399 All right, Jose Moda, what was the talk in the 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.239 Spanish radio booth today. When you saw the miss go 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.359 up against Otani and throw one hundred and four miles 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.320 an hour for the first four pitches of today's game. 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:32.720 My thought was, go out there and meet the baseball. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.080 No need to swing very hard, which is, of course, Dave, 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.439 much easier said than done, because then you're amped up 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.520 and going one oh four. My god, I gotta start earlier. 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:42.680 I got to swing harder. But you know what, he's 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.920 free and easy with that delivery. As a previous color 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:46.840 you know was talking about. He is not a guy 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:50.560 that's a thrower as we call or define in those terms. 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.600 He's a pitcher. He's got control over the command of 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.200 his body. He's got the mechanically sound direction towards home played, 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:00.200 the armslought, consistency and all that. But when you see 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.399 one o four, you tell yourself, what if I just 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:03.960 trying to cut it down a little bit more and 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.240 know that upstairs he's gonna beat me. It doesn't matter 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.119 who you are and what decade, what generation upstairs of 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:11.960 one to four is gonna beat you. What if I 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.639 work him downstairs, which he's very good at two, and 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.159 I allow myself a better chance it didn't happen. They 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.000 fought through a lot of me. He was he's not 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.240 actual little frustrated and he get more punch outs because 0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.919 guys were, you know, fighting through it and getting balls 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:27.440 up of him the other way. But it's one of 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:29.560 those windows too. But he sis Loadaday, you gotta go 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.439 out there and just do something. He gave show. Hey, 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.680 one pitcher hit. Remember this guy doesn't walk people either. 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.439 One pitcher hit Show he took it. After that, you go, 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:40.600 you know what, it's the breaking ball. It's over very 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.399 quickly because the other factor was the shadows and the sun. 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:46.399 And that's where I think we're blessed. Could have done 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.280 a better job with a couple of pitches here today too. 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:49.240 Yeah. 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.200 Do you feel like the pictures had the advantage Misserowski 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.119 and Robleski had more of the advantage at the start 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:58.879 of the game or when when Missowski was out there 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:02.119 in the sixth then fifth sixth inning when the shadows 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.320 so he was in shadows and the batter's eye was 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.440 in the sun. Do you feel like at that point 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.120 it was going to be extremely tough for the Dodgers 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:09.760 to get a hit. 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.480 As again progress it got a little bit tougher. You 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.640 could see by how the Dodgers did having ten ten 0:21:15.720 --> 0:21:17.720 or Row retired all the way durn in the ninth inning, 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.520 and you know the top of contact. You just didn't 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:22.679 see a whole lot of hard contact, you know, throughout 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:25.199
