WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (8-17-26) 

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:03.040
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.880

<v Speaker 2>phone lines open at eight sixty six nine eight seven

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy after the Dodgers defeat the Rockies tonight

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>eleven to five, and a very short trip to Denver

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>three games and back to LA for a three game

0:00:55.960 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>homestand against the Pirates this weekend, and then back out

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>on the road for the Dodgers as they will head

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>to Detroit and Atlanta. By the way, speaking of Detroit,

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 2>are very own. Kenley Jansen, who is the all time

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 2>saves leader in Dodger history, notched his four hundred and

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>ninety second save tonight, throwing only eight pitches in the

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning of a Tigers win, and the Tigers don't

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 2>look now without Trek Scoobel are very much in the

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>mix for the Al Central and also a wildcard spot.

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 2>The Tigers are just four and a half games back

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 2>of the White Sox, but that's neither here or there.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>This is Dodger Talk. David Vasse with you until ten

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 2>o'clock after my guy, Blake Snell had another second, had

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>another successful start. Now has what twelve innings in twelve strikeouts,

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>eleven strikeouts to start the year. I would say that's

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>more than what people expected out of Blake Snell. Especially.

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>You could say whatever you want about how bad the

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Rockies are, and he'll be the first one to admit, Yeah,

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>this lineup is not murderer's row. But his second start,

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>coming off the il at coursefield, that's never easy, and

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>he made it look easy. The only inning where he

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't look easy was in that third inning when he

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 2>started to get cute. He walked the bases loaded, a

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>sacrifice fly scored the only run scored against him. But

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>outside of that, he was phenomenal and he got good

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>defense behind him. In the sixth inning, Tommy Edman and

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Beds made great plays behind him, and the Dodger

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>offense for the first time since July second, scored double

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 2>digit runs. It was a twelve seven win over the

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Padres at Dodger Stadium on July second. The Dodgers Tonight's

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>score eleven runs, eleven to five. It was led by

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey, who had the first big hit to really

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 2>open this game up with a three run home run

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>in the third inning. It was a four hundred and

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.079
<v Speaker 2>sixty one foot shot, the longest home run hit by

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger this season. Freddie Freeman three hits with two doubles,

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Otani two home runs tonight. So look, I know it

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 2>was disappointing against the Brewers and Logan Henderson yesterday and

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Misarowski the day before, but this is exactly what the

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers needed to see the ball go over the fence

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>put up eleven runs, even if it was against one

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>of the worst teams in baseball. Let's head downstairs right now,

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>toy here for manager Dave Roberts.

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Collectively, I liked everything. That's that's that's who we are,

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's what we've been searching for for quite

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 1>some time. And today I thought, you know, the bat

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>that really kind of encapsulates you know who we are

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>is the munthet back gets behind note two on some

0:03:56.360 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>splits down below. Then he got that back into the

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>count checking off those pitches and then spoiled it to

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>two pitch inside fastball, and then Homer's on the next pitch,

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, I think it just goes to

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>your earn good pitches. And today, you know, you can

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 1>look at our swing percentage. I guarantee it was much

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>lower than it has been the last six weeks. Our

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.279
<v Speaker 1>end zone swing rate was up. So all that stuff,

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, lined up to the output tonight, and so

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're capable of. And now it's just about

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>stacking those.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 4>And then you also had Blake who was able to

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 4>get things going early.

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>What were you seeing from him? Just how he managed himself.

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.239
<v Speaker 5>Yes, a little bit of traffic there and that third inning,

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 5>but ultimately.

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>How he was able to be efficient. For the most part,

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 1>he did a really nice job. I think outside of

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that third inning, he was outstanding. In the third inning,

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was a little bit too fine, and

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the three walks in a row and then

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>limited damage, which is great. But then Reset started to

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>use his change up a little bit more and you

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of bad swing and you know, for

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>him to be able to get through six here was

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 1>fantastic and you know, put our bullpen in a good spot,

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, for the next two games.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 3>I've been six weeks since you guys have scored this

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 3>many runs in a game.

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Is this the kind of game that even on just

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 6>like one night and then help you guys get out

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 6>of this rut that you've been in as an offense.

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.039
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I think it's kind of gets to,

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, what makes you good as an offense, and

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that's what makes us good, you know, earning pitches, winning counts,

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>spoiling pitches, those kind of things. And yeah, I mean

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>we know this guy Tomorrow Feldner. We've seen him a lot,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>and so it's kind of going to be the same

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>formula and if we can do that, then we'll be successful.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 2>All right. There's manager Dave Roberts on sports net LA,

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>happy with the quality of at bats and a great point.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>With Munsey's three run home run, he was down O

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>two and that was vintage Muncie getting back into the count,

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.359
<v Speaker 2>forcing the pitcher to throw a fastball, which he did

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 2>and Munsey did not miss it. And the Dodgers beat

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 2>the Rockies tonight eleven to five. Yeah, and also the

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers should do some damage tomorrow against Ryan Feltner as well.

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>And even better news for the Dodgers, Paul Skeens was

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 2>lined up to pitch against them this weekend, but he

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 2>was pushed back to Wednesday. His start was supposed to

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 2>be yesterday. Skeens will start on Wednesday for the Pirates,

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 2>which means the Dodgers will not see Paul Skeens at

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium. By the way, with the win tonight and

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the Padres losing against the Mets, the Dodgers have an

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>eight game lead over the Padres a nine game lead

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Eight six six two five seventy

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number. Let's go out to Evan, who

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>is at Course Field tonight. Hi, Evan, thanks for calling

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 2>in after taking the road trip.

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 7>Oh yeah, what's up? DV live here in Colorado. Always

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 7>try to get out to a game when the Dodgers

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 7>are in town, and tonight I wanted to start off

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 7>with a quick story about my experience the night before

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.239
<v Speaker 7>getting into a little talk about some of the players.

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 2>If that's all right, Yeah, what kind of story you got?

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 7>Okay, So, top of the sixth inning, I'm sitting there

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 7>left center in those home run seats. Show Hey, HiT's

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 7>his first time run. I'm there with his with my dad,

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 7>my brother, and our friend. The ball goes right next

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 7>to my dad's head, his friend. They both dodge get

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 7>out of the way of the ball. They could have

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.240
<v Speaker 7>caught a show. Hey, O, tawny home run. Now, I

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 7>understand that from the perspective of a fan. You know,

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 7>that's a lot of pressure. My question is it's not

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 7>so great when it's your right field or dropping balls

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 7>like that. And I'm wondering if you think that at

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 7>this point.

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 8>Kyle Tucker's in.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>His head Oh, without a doubt. You were at the

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>game tonight. But Eric Carris was on the call on

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 2>sports Net LA and he said exactly that it's psychological. Now,

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he is in headspin right now, and that's

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 2>the only way to explain it, because there's no other

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>way to explain this type of season. The plays we've

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>seen in right field the last two days. Tonight the

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>sun was down and Tucker acted like he lost it

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 2>in the sun when he dropped that ball, and tonight

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>zero for five. So yeah, you know, I actually like

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 2>the suggestion Eric Carro sad on the air tonight that

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>maybe Kyle Tucker has a sore back and needs to

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 2>go on the il. Maybe he heads to Arizona. I

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>had another former Dodger text me and say he doesn't

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 2>need to be in Arizona. He needs to go to

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the Colorado River get away from baseball for a couple

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>of days to clear his mind because it certainly is mental.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 2>There's no other explanation now, and I'm not gonna pile

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>on him at this point. I kind of feel bad

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>for him.

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, definitely, I think that makes sense. TV kind of

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 7>reminds me of, you know, when Dennis Rodman needed to

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 7>go take a break from the balls and go to Vegas.

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey, should I take Tucker to Vegas? Maybe I should

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 2>be the guy to take Tucker to Vegas TV.

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 7>I like the sound of that. I like the sound

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 7>of that.

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, we'll we'll meet the team in UH in Detroit

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>next week. How about that? Me and Tucker in Vegas

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 2>for a week. All right, haven't got a run. Thank

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 2>you for the phone call. Eight sixty six nine eight

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy. David in Pasadena was watching sports

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>at LA tonight. Hi, David, Hey TV.

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 8>How you doing tonight?

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Man doing great. I'm happy that Dodgers scored eleven runs tonight.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 8>It was great to see an offensive eruption. It was

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 8>great for the team and great for the fans. It's

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 8>the last caller. You touched on what I was calling about.

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 8>But I can segue real quick. I was thinking about

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 8>what Eric Carro said. I was watching TV. Heard what

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 8>he said, you know, regarding Tucker going maybe to Arizona.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 2>But you like my idea of me taking into Vegas instead.

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 8>Right, Yeah, you guys would have well, you know, he

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.439
<v Speaker 8>could certainly afford to cover your tab.

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 2>Right, Hey, that's what I'm thinking. He Hey, he buys

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.439
<v Speaker 2>all Fly. All right, he buys all Fly. We'll go together.

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it'd be a great trip for you guys. Maybe

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 8>you could shake him up a little bit and get

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 8>him to relax, because you know, I feel bad for

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 8>him too. You know, I was I was gonna call

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 8>you yesterday. I was kind of really upset about the

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 8>blase attitude. He's very beige in his demeanor. He's not colorful.

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:29.839
<v Speaker 8>I wish he was like rushing. I wish he had

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.600
<v Speaker 8>a little more fire. But you know, David, I.

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Want you, I want you to finish your comment, but

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm just gonna stop you really quick because I was

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 2>watching him when he came back to the dugout after

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 2>he dropped that fly ball, and I've never seen him

0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>do this before. He was angry at himself. He fired

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 2>his hat and his glove into the dugout right as

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 2>he was reaching the steps. So he was showing some fire,

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>and we've seen him break bats when he pops up.

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 2>But I think it goes back to everything that I said,

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>and what Eric Harros was alluding to is that it's

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 2>mental now. He's so frustrated he doesn't know how to

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:06.839
<v Speaker 2>get out of his own way.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Understand.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 8>Okay, can I ask you what your thoughts are on

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.280
<v Speaker 8>Diaz tonight and the last in the ninth But are

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 8>we concerned about Dias at this point?

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, we are concerned because you know, Jack Harris

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>from the California Post tweeted out a great visual that

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 2>everything that Dave Roberts has been describing and that I've

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>been trying to explain. This guy had surgery three months

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>ago and his arm slot is lower than it has

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 2>been in the last couple of years. So he's working

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>to get that back, and until he does, his slider

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>is not going to be vintage Edwin Diaz. So that's

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the reason why Dave Roberts put him out there. I

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 2>thought tonight was a way better situation than a safe

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 2>situation to have him try to continue to find that

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 2>arm slot.

0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:58.320
<v Speaker 8>I understand that makes a lot of sense. So it

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 8>was a good It was a dating was one, and

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 8>it was a good chance for him to get out

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 8>there and shake off more rust.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, I like that situation a lot better than

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 2>bringing him in in a one run game in a

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 2>safe situation with him trying to work all that out.

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Got to run, David, thank you for the phone call.

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. I

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>did have a chance to catch up with Kyle Tucker

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 2>earlier today because yesterday we did not have a chance

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to speak to him after uh an Oh for home

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.319
<v Speaker 2>stand and dropping that fly ball in the ninth inning,

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 2>and then tonight Oh for five drops another fly ball,

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 2>routine fly ball. So this is what Kyle Tucker had

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to say about the struggles at home compared to him

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 2>being a pretty decent player at home.

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I don't really know. I mean, if I knew,

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 9>I'd probably have figured out about it. But that's just

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 9>kind of how it's gone. So, I mean, I don't

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 9>monitor my home road splits, you know, I just try

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 9>and go up and play. But I mean, obviously they're

0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 9>not great.

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So thanks.

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.679
<v Speaker 9>I don't know what the reason or anything is. It's

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 9>just kind of how it is, so thanks. So I

0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 9>knew I'd obviously changed something, but she's got to keep

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 9>keep playing, whether it's the first team or tenth year

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 9>with the same team. I mean, I think it'd be

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 9>freshering regardless. But I mean, it's not like I'm frustrated

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 9>just because I'm playing at home or anything, whether it's

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 9>on the road or at home, or people frustrating just

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 9>not pubbling the team win games. So it just kind

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.599
<v Speaker 9>of happened to be. How how how it spend, you know,

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.520
<v Speaker 9>that's just kind of how it's gone. So it's not

0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 9>like I try harder on the road than I do

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 9>at home. You know, it's not the case. I mean,

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.200
<v Speaker 9>I just this is just kind of how it's checking out.

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.839
<v Speaker 2>All right. There's Kyle Tucker before the game, and obviously

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>a disappointing first season with the Dodgers, but there is

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>the postseason, and I'm gonna say this. We're gonna take

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 2>a time out here on Dodger Talk when we come back.

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.959
<v Speaker 2>We have two lines open at eight six six nine,

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy. We're gonna get into the Dodgers'

0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 2>corner outfield spots and what the Dodgers can do to

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 2>see how they can improve the production there because Tucker

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously has had a horrendous season, especially at home, and

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Tioscar Hernandez has had a below Taoscar Hernandez type of year.

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna share with you my idea to see

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>what the Dodgers can do to improve their outfield production.

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 2>And we'll take more of your phone calls. As the

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.400

<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy. Nobody wants to give my

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>guy snel Zilla any love. Back to back starts coming

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 2>off the IL throwing six innings tonight, he allowed one

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 2>earn run in his first start back against the Royals

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>at Dodgers Stadium. Six innings, three hits, one earn run,

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and oh, by the way, in his first start he

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>had ten strikeouts. So in his first two starts back,

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 2>he's thrown twelve innings, allowed two earned runs, and has

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>fifteen strikeouts. By the way the second start here at Corsefield,

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't care how weak this Rockies lineup is. It's

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 2>never quote easy or a soft landing to pitch at Corsefield.

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And I would argue since the trade deadline, the best

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>lefty the Dodgers have had on the mound is not

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Trek Scuoble. It's Blake SNeW Snell has out pitched Schooble

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>since he's come off the IL. I liked what I

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 2>saw from Schooble last night, but come on, he's outpitched

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>him in his first two starts back. All right, here's

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 2>my idea for the Dodgers. You may not realize this,

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>but Taoscar Hernandez has had a very average year by

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Taoscar Hernandez standards, and especially below standard for him against

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>right handed pitching. Two thirty seven against righties this year,

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 2>and he's only slugging three seventy three, and he's only

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 2>getting on base at a two ninety three clip. I'm

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>not saying that this is for the postseason, but I

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 2>do believe the Dodgers have got to find out what

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 2>their options are to see how they can get better

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 2>production against right handed pitching in their corner outfield spots.

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 2>So how do they do that? All we hear about

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 2>is how great these young outfielders are at Tulsa and

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:45.160
<v Speaker 2>at Triple A Oklahoma City. My idea would be in September,

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 2>when the rosters do expand, the Dodgers should call up

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 2>JDP Josuay de Paula and platoon him with Taoscar Hernandez

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 2>in left field. Because JDP against right handers at Double A,

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 2>his OPS is a thousand, and he has twenty one

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of his twenty two home runs against right handed pitchers. Yeah,

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 2>he only has one against the lefty and he's hitting

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:15.159
<v Speaker 2>three nineteen against righties. Why wouldn't you see what you

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:20.160
<v Speaker 2>got with Depaula and platoon him with Taoscar Hernandez. As

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts said a couple of weeks ago, we're now

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.800
<v Speaker 2>in August. This is who you are this year. And

0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 2>don't get me wrong, I'm the biggest Taoscar Hernandez believer

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>out there. I do believe he's going to be big

0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:37.880
<v Speaker 2>in October again. But in September, why not see what

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you got with JDP, your top outfield prospect who is

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 2>super uber talented as a hitter. And I know people

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>have said the defense is not major league standard, but

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 2>have we really seen good defense in right field or

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>left field this year? Tao's been better than Tucker, but

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 2>not by a lot, I mean, and he's not dropping

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.639
<v Speaker 2>fly balls like we've seen the last two days. And

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.199
<v Speaker 2>I even wouldn't be opposed on certain nights to have

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 2>te Oskar Hernandez in right field and JDP and left

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 2>field in September. I'm not saying that's what it should

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.199
<v Speaker 2>be in October, but find out what you got. He's yours,

0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:24.600
<v Speaker 2>he's in the organization, JDP, jose Way de Paula. I

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:27.640
<v Speaker 2>would give him an opportunity and see what the defense

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 2>looks like. If it's as horrendous as some say, then okay,

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.359
<v Speaker 2>you know what you got this year. But it also

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 2>gives him an opportunity to be around this team, these

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.479
<v Speaker 2>veterans and know what it takes to be a major

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:45.399
<v Speaker 2>league player. It's not just about hitting. And look, the

0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have stressed that Jason Hayward has been at Tulsa

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Double A a couple of different times. He's been there

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the last week, not just for Depaula, but for Mike

0:19:55.240 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Serota and all the Dodger outfielders there. So I would say, hey,

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 2>let's see what you got. And I'm sure Jason Hayward,

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.359
<v Speaker 2>like he did when he was in the major leagues,

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 2>was given some tough love to JDP. Why not ta

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Hernandez is hitting two thirty seven, Kyle Tucker is

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 2>having a nightmare of a season that right now he

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 2>can't get out of his own way of Why not?

0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 2>That's my question? Why not? Eight six six seven, two

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number? Dodgers beat the Rockies tonight,

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 2>eleven to five. Let's go out to Ensino Grant. You're

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.879
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk. How you doing good?

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 6>Hey DV, Nice to finally talk to you. I listened

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 6>to the show almost every day on the podcast, so

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 6>thanks for taking my call.

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, No problem.

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean, well, I think the uh, the Rockies really

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 6>showed up on the schedule with the perfect time for us.

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.359
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's been a couple of weeks of just

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 6>as a Dodger fan being a little underwhelmed and a

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 6>little bummed out every time you watch the games. And

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 6>tonight was fine, kind of a game where you can

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 6>really feel good about the offense, feel good. It's like, oh,

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 6>we're back. And then all of a sudden, Kyle Tucker

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 6>and Diaz kind of just put a stink on the game,

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, sort of spoiled the feel good feeling, and

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 6>it was sort of by the end of the ninth

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.200
<v Speaker 6>it's like, geez, You're watching Tanner Scott.

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 8>Warm up and you're like, what is going on here?

0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.199
<v Speaker 6>So, I mean, my my question, like, it seems like

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 6>Diaz really needs to figure something out, and you're close

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:28.880
<v Speaker 6>to the team. I was just wondering if you could

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.919
<v Speaker 6>do something easy, which is just to tell him to

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 6>please ditch that Mets colored glove.

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 1>He keeps wearing.

0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean, that would be just a first steps here

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 6>rinsing a little stink off of his season.

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:42.199
<v Speaker 10>Could you do that for us?

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 8>TV?

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Sure, Grant. I don't know if that's the issue,

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 2>but I understand what you're saying. But I'm sure he

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 2>feels comfortable with that glove. All right, Grant, thank you

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call. Eight six six seven two five seventy. Look,

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why Diaz takes away from the loss

0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:02.199
<v Speaker 2>tonight because the Dodgers had such a big lead. I

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 2>know it's still concerning. He's given up runs, given up traffic.

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 2>But this is the situation you want him in. You

0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 2>want him in that type of situation where he has

0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.679
<v Speaker 2>a large margin for error to see whether or not

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 2>he can continue to work his way out of this

0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 2>issue with his arm slot and be better. Eight sixty

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:25.840
<v Speaker 2>six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to paramount David. You're on Dodger Talk.

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 2>How you doing David?

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 10>And I'm doing good?

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:31.880
<v Speaker 11>David?

0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:33.800
<v Speaker 10>How are you doing? I hope you're doing well. So

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 10>two things right? Sound like everyone else. But when does

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 10>the noise to everyone get to deep arbag in regards

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 10>to making hardest decisions Tuck girl for five, especially when

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 10>ab where he green light three too for the pop

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 10>out drop ball. Yeah, there maybe cries for a host

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 10>way Depaula to be caught up. I'm with you there.

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.040
<v Speaker 10>I would like to see where that develops and goes,

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:54.720
<v Speaker 10>but I would see that. I don't want to see

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 10>why you would put the kid in a situation like that.

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:58.919
<v Speaker 10>I don't necessarily see that happening. He could use the

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:00.239
<v Speaker 10>rest of the season to develop up.

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Like I think he has to earn

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.480
<v Speaker 2>his way here, and I don't know what he has

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>shown Andrew Freeman and the people down in the minor leagues.

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:13.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure Andrew Freeman will get a great report from

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Jason Hayward, but defense is effort and care factor. Maybe

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 2>he's bored down there because he's dominating Tulsa. I don't

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.159
<v Speaker 2>know if it would change being here, but I have

0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 2>heard the defense has gotten better. All I'm saying is,

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I know the Dodgers scored eleven runs tonight, but for

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the last six weeks there's been no spark. It's been flat.

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Why not have a guy like that, who is super

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>talented as a hitter, get an opportunity to see if

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 2>he can spark something in this order and be another threat.

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 2>If it doesn't work out, or if he's showing a

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 2>lack of care factor for defense, then no harm, no foul.

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 2>You send him back to the minors and teach him

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a lesson that it does matter.

0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 10>I concur with that, especially with the Oscar with his defense,

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 10>and of course Kyle Tucker is below average defense currently

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 10>the season, it continues to become enigma. So I do

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 10>see where that comes to the factors. And I got

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.640
<v Speaker 10>one more thing, David, as far as again you want

0:24:11.640 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 10>to take nothing away from Snaw even Vessia, look at

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.679
<v Speaker 10>Van Phillips. The course field effected and really take effect

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 10>to them tonight. However, it does take effect for Edwin Diaz.

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 10>I would say this, David, I am what they call

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 10>the modern.

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I didn't blame coursefield for Edwin Diaz having issues tonight.

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I just said that his surgery three months ago is

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.800
<v Speaker 2>still a work in progress coming back and pitching in

0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 2>major league games. I never blamed course field.

0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 10>No, I understand that it's just got the modern thing.

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.120
<v Speaker 10>That what people say with that. But one last thing,

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:47.159
<v Speaker 10>nobody here, no one said no, of course not, but

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:49.119
<v Speaker 10>that seems to be rid of recurring thing. As far

0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 10>as the course field effect, I'm sure you've heard of

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 10>that as well. But can we please have Edwin Diaz

0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 10>stop untucking? Is sure after each game that he closes,

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 10>especially where he barely makes it out of live o, sir,

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 10>but take some flight in that Dodger blue.

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, David, thank you for the phone call. I mean,

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>come on, you guys are really really reaching. That's gonna

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>upset you and untucked his jersey, uh coming off the field.

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I I don't know what to say to that.

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's the biggest issue concerning the Dodgers

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 2>or Edwin Diaz. Tonight's game brought to you by Modello

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Modelo the mark of a Fighter. Look, I agree the

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Dodger uniform and the Yankee uniform are the two most

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>special uniforms in baseball, so I agree with you treat

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 2>it with respect. But I'm sure he was frustrated and uh,

0:25:41.560 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, just was wanting to untuck his jersey. I

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.879
<v Speaker 2>don't see an issue with that. Let's go out to

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 2>North Hollywood, Sergio Untucket after the game was over. Hi, Sergio,

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 2>I hope, I hope you didn't have issue with that.

0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.120
<v Speaker 11>I had no issue with with that at all. I mean,

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:04.040
<v Speaker 11>that's uh, that's okay. I like your idea about bringing

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:06.120
<v Speaker 11>in their kid and let's try him out and left

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 11>field while we have time to see what he's got

0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 11>In the meantime, my suggestion is having Andy Payaz out

0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 11>there in center be like the Kelly Leak and just

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:22.120
<v Speaker 11>cover left field and also right field, so that way

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 11>he could just have everything in his area, because Andy's

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 11>the best, and you know we need him as he's

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 11>playing terrific center field to make up for the you know,

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:35.160
<v Speaker 11>the situation.

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 2>See, Okay, if you're going to deliver a sarcastic phone

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 2>call like that, you just got to get to it,

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 2>just with the punchline right away. You don't draw it

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:46.280
<v Speaker 2>out right on.

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:50.440
<v Speaker 11>But you know, it's a great win. I love what

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 11>munths he's doing. I mean, incredible, four hundred and sixty

0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 11>one feet. I mean that guy really just got us

0:26:57.520 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 11>grounded for this win today and made it five don nothing,

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 11>and you know, go Dodgers. This was just a great win.

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 11>But we just can't take Muncy for granted either. He's

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 11>just like an MVP on the team and he along

0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 11>with Otani and Freddie, I mean, wow, those three and

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:17.080
<v Speaker 11>Mookie's starting to come around too, so you know we're

0:27:17.080 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 11>starting to gel, you know, and it's a long season.

0:27:19.840 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 11>But I like your idea. I like your idea. Let's

0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:24.440
<v Speaker 11>bring in the kid. Let's see if you could add

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:28.360
<v Speaker 11>a little bit of a of energy from the youth

0:27:28.440 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 11>side of things.

0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, Yeah, I don't think there's any downside to it.

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.360
<v Speaker 2>You find out what you got. I don't believe he'll

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 2>embarrass himself offensively. I mean, he's really talented offensively. And look,

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I never would have suggested this if what we're seeing

0:27:44.240 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 2>in right field and left field aren't staring us in

0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the face. Ta Oscar Hernandez against right handed pitching, and

0:27:50.440 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 2>he even will admit this has not been very good

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 2>against right handed pitching. He's only hitting two thirty seven

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 2>against right he's and slugging three seventy three. The majority

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>of pitchers you're going to see are right handers. I

0:28:03.040 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 2>know the Dodgers on the last homestand saw a lot

0:28:05.840 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 2>of lefties. He didn't do much against them either. So look,

0:28:10.000 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm just it's it's glaring right now what we're seeing

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:18.919
<v Speaker 2>offensively from both right field and left field. I'm not

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 2>going to compare Kyle Tucker to ta Oscar Hernandez because

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 2>ta Oscar Hernandez at least has been somewhat average. Tucker,

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 2>especially at home, as we know, has not been and

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I even said this two weeks ago before every everybody

0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 2>started to, you know, clamor to the fact that Tucker

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:40.200
<v Speaker 2>has not performed at home. He's not the only one.

0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:43.560
<v Speaker 2>If you look at a lot of Dodgers home and

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:46.600
<v Speaker 2>road splits, you'll see a lot of guys perform a

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 2>lot better on the road than at Dodgers Stadium. For

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever reason. The one guy that has done more damage

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 2>at home than on road is Andy Pa has and

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.160
<v Speaker 2>tonight Andy Pa has had three hits in an RBI.

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 2>But for whatever reason, you go to Munsey, Freddy Freeman,

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts. All these guys are better on the road.

0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 2>But it's a huge drop off for Kyle Tucker playing

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:13.680
<v Speaker 2>on the road and playing at home. And right now,

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 2>wherever he's playing, it's not looking good. He's oh for

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>his last twenty five after going or for his last

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty four after going oh for five tonight, and look,

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 2>this is a night where the Dodgers beat the Rockies

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 2>eleven to five, and everybody is now piling on Kyle Tucker.

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Like I said earlier, I'm not piling on him, but

0:29:34.440 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like at some point you have to make

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a decision whether or not he needs to have more

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 2>than just one day off. Maybe he needs the next

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.880
<v Speaker 2>two games off here at Corsfield to get away from it, because,

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>as Eric Carro said on the Dodgers television broadcast, it's

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 2>in his head now, it's psychological. And Carros went as

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 2>far to say that, hey, maybe he's got a sore back.

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he needs two weeks off Arizona to try to reset.

0:30:02.360 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 2>So you know, those are the type of things that

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 2>are being said, and it's hard to argue with it

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 2>at this point. It's not physical, it's not a hitting

0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 2>mechanical adjustment. It's a mental thing. So Kyle Tucker has

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 2>got to figure it out for himself how to reset,

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 2>how to get his mind to a place where today

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 2>is the start of my season and I'm not sure

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 2>we've seen that yet. Eight six six seven two five

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:33.600
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. Let's go out to Culver City. Greg,

0:30:33.880 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Greg?

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:38.280
<v Speaker 10>Hey, David good?

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 3>So so far we've got Edwin Diaz, his glove, his jersey.

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't have any other complaints that you can go

0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:51.200
<v Speaker 3>voice to him tonight calling about Blake Snell in chaoscar So,

0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Blake Snell. I think last year everybody felt when Yamamoto's

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.800
<v Speaker 3>on the mound, that was the game. If there was

0:30:57.840 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 3>a two game, three game, or seven game losing, he'd

0:31:00.440 --> 0:31:02.520
<v Speaker 3>be the stopper. I think we found the new one.

0:31:03.400 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 3>I love that he went six innings at cors. I

0:31:05.880 --> 0:31:08.240
<v Speaker 3>think if you get five strong innings it's a good start.

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:11.200
<v Speaker 3>Six is amazing. And to have that big of a

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:14.000
<v Speaker 3>lead and stay locked in tells you he's ready to

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 3>go right. And I'm looking at him as potentially the

0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:20.120
<v Speaker 3>opening game starter of a seven game series at this point,

0:31:20.200 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 3>like he's been that locked in. So you're right, we've

0:31:23.040 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 3>got to give you a year home run Trott for that.

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:26.840
<v Speaker 3>But the guy who's thank you for.

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate it. It's not about being right, it's about

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 2>trusting the person and knowing what they're about and respecting

0:31:34.120 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 2>he has two cy youngs, and respecting what he did

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.959
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers in October last year. And now he

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:42.479
<v Speaker 2>says he's healthier than he has been in three years,

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and you're seeing that with the curveball as good as

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 2>it is. But I'm glad you appreciate snell Zilla Now, Greg,

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I would go Yamaham Snell two and Scooble three.

0:31:54.680 --> 0:31:56.880
<v Speaker 3>And by the way, we're over here, we have this

0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 3>luxury of riches with an eight game lead. Right, nobody's

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 3>acting or no one's bringing up the fact that both

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 3>the d Backs lost. The player didn't even show up

0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.800
<v Speaker 3>to play the game today in their locker room, so

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.520
<v Speaker 3>they got bigger.

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he.

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Got paid and this is what they get. But speaking

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.640
<v Speaker 3>of players who are paid, right, uh, I'm not jumping

0:32:17.680 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 3>on tyle attackers back. I look at him as the

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 3>same way I looked at Michael Conforta last year.

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 3>We took an experiment. It's not paying off. But we're

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.239
<v Speaker 3>lucky and fortunate. We have ownership that could absorb this, right,

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:29.280
<v Speaker 3>we have the roster that could absorb a hit like this.

0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:32.760
<v Speaker 3>But the guy who should be sending him an edible arrangement,

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 3>a flower arrangement, taking him on a trip at the

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 3>end of the season is Tasker Hernandez because he has

0:32:38.160 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 3>been m I a po w all season and nobody

0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 3>is looking at left field because we're so concerned with

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:47.240
<v Speaker 3>what's happening, right, And I could not agree more that

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Jose d Poula or maybe even start platooning those two

0:32:50.640 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 3>in right field because I know that was Tao's native position,

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 3>and maybe letting Keik and Edmund rotate in left field.

0:32:57.440 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 3>I know Edmond's plugging second base right now, but man

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 3>and I just know that there's no way we're going

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:06.600
<v Speaker 3>into a five game or seven game series with Milwaukee

0:33:06.600 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 3>with both of those guys playing like this in that

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:10.960
<v Speaker 3>lineup when we have Kecha Hanani is on the bench

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 3>and hopefully he gets this.

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you, Greg. If JDP

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:19.680
<v Speaker 2>doesn't get called up, I'm with you. I think you

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>start playtuning Edmund and Tao and left field and get

0:33:23.280 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 2>more reps for Mickey Row and Keik at second base.

0:33:27.840 --> 0:33:29.760
<v Speaker 3>We need gamers, and we need guys that show up.

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:31.479
<v Speaker 8>And it's like, and I know you get it right,

0:33:31.480 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 8>and a lot.

0:33:31.800 --> 0:33:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Of callers here get emotional win loss in between right

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 3>and I got their own battle. But it's like, Hey,

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I just want a guy who's going to go to

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 3>the plate and give me a competitive at that three

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 3>times and if he gets up four times, we're probably

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 3>winning that game if we're getting that down low in

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:48.480
<v Speaker 3>the batting order. So everyone take a chill pill and

0:33:48.480 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 3>then the last thing I didn't get thrown for Tanna Scott.

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:52.760
<v Speaker 3>I was a guy who had the pitchforks and or

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 3>the torches and pitchforks. Last year for him fourteen appearances,

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.240
<v Speaker 3>one and run and he doesn't like guys on eight.

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 8>Get shot.

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>You stayed on a little too long. Greg. We got

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the Tanner Scott love and we appreciate you self reporting

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 2>from a year ago. Look, Tanner did not have a

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 2>good year, but that's the life of a reliever and

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:18.640
<v Speaker 2>the life of every baseball player. I learned this from

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers in the past that told me every year is

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:27.080
<v Speaker 2>unique and nothing more than a volatile bullpen. To remind

0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>you of that, all right, I just want to remind you,

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the Dodgers now eight games ahead of

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 2>the Padres, nine ahead of the Diamondbacks. If the Dodgers

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:38.720
<v Speaker 2>go five hundred the rest of the way, they'll finish

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 2>with ninety three wins. The Padres, who have been very

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:45.479
<v Speaker 2>hot lately, would need to go twenty seven and nine

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 2>to pass them. Arizona, who got a no show from

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.320
<v Speaker 2>catl Marte, would have to go twenty eight and eight

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.640
<v Speaker 2>to pass them. But it's not about the Division. I

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:58.439
<v Speaker 2>think we all understand that it's about trying to get

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 2>one of those top two seas, trying to get a

0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:05.360
<v Speaker 2>bye because, as Dave Roberts reminded us again today, the

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are a wildcard team despite being a division winner,

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and the Braves lost tonight. The Dodgers win, so again

0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:16.440
<v Speaker 2>they are tied in the lost callum. And look, we

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 2>talked about the tie breakers season series. With the Brewers

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:23.719
<v Speaker 2>going Milwaukee's way yesterday, that three game series in Atlanta

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:27.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to be very important for the Dodgers and

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Braves to see who can get an edge in being

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the number two seed in the National League. Eight six, six, nine, seven,

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

0:35:37.320 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>to Silver Lake. Allen, you're on Dodger Talk with David

0:35:40.640 --> 0:35:41.239
<v Speaker 2>vasse Hi.

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 12>Allen, Hi, David, it's first call this year, but you

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:46.840
<v Speaker 12>know you anticipated my call.

0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.440
<v Speaker 13>You know, I've seen teams loose leads like this.

0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 12>You know, I think about the Red Sox and the

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 12>Yankees all the way back in the seventies. You know

0:35:55.560 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 12>that the Dodgers are act like they're playing with house

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:04.359
<v Speaker 12>money and they're not, and just throwing Daz out there

0:36:04.719 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 12>and letting his gives continue to play and just say, well,

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:10.880
<v Speaker 12>we have these pitchers, we have Freeman and Otani.

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.359
<v Speaker 13>This is not for sure, it's not even for sure.

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 13>They haven't clinched a playoff.

0:36:17.000 --> 0:36:17.839
<v Speaker 12>Spot even yet.

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 13>And I know it's crazy, but teams in this position

0:36:22.520 --> 0:36:24.040
<v Speaker 13>have not made the playoffs.

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:26.839
<v Speaker 2>And I did you just hear what I said with

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 2>the dog If the Dodgers went five hundred, the Padres

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.399
<v Speaker 2>and Diamondbacks would have to do something they've never done

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:36.840
<v Speaker 2>before and go on a run like they've never gone before.

0:36:37.239 --> 0:36:39.760
<v Speaker 2>So you actually think the Dodgers are going to blow

0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:43.839
<v Speaker 2>this lead. And tonight tonight the Dodgers had the lead

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:47.960
<v Speaker 2>to bring in Edwin Diaz, so they were bringing him

0:36:48.000 --> 0:36:50.439
<v Speaker 2>in in the most ideal of situation. If you would

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:52.960
<v Speaker 2>have called tonight and the Dodgers had a one run

0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:55.879
<v Speaker 2>lead and DS pitched the way he did tonight, then

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you would have more ground to stand on tonight.

0:37:01.600 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 13>Of course, it's great, Corsefield will be. But have the

0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 13>Dodgers been playing five hundred?

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, the point is they had a large lead.

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 2>They had a nine run lead in the ninth inning.

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:13.920
<v Speaker 2>And yes he didn't pitch grade, but he still needs

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to come back from being out for three months after

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 2>arm surgery, and there's no better way to do it

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:24.799
<v Speaker 2>than in a blowout game. Would you rather have him

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:27.840
<v Speaker 2>pitching a game like this tonight or a game like

0:37:27.880 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 2>we saw at Dodgers Dating where he blew the first

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 2>game of the series to the Brewers. If he doesn't

0:37:33.520 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 2>blow that game, the Dodgers have a split. And you

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about urgency, that's not managing with a

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 2>lot of urgency that first game because everybody wanted to

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 2>put it on the players yesterday. But how about you

0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 2>know that game meaning something the first night of that

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:54.160
<v Speaker 2>four game series. You would have had a lot more

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.359
<v Speaker 2>ground to stand on with your argument that night than

0:37:57.360 --> 0:37:58.080
<v Speaker 2>you do tonight.

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:02.320
<v Speaker 13>I'm not Look, it's I'm not only calling about tonight.

0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 13>I'm calling about that. Dave Roberts convinced me last year

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 13>the way the Dodgers won the World Series, that the

0:38:09.239 --> 0:38:13.200
<v Speaker 13>way they came together, it justified his entire year of managing,

0:38:13.719 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 13>right he he he. The players know that he believes

0:38:17.200 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 13>in them, and miracles are gonna happen, and they happened.

0:38:20.640 --> 0:38:23.560
<v Speaker 13>So but that doesn't mean that Dave Roberts is a

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:26.640
<v Speaker 13>perfect manager and maybe the same thing's gonna happen this year.

0:38:26.680 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 13>They're gonna come together and miracles are gonna happen. But fine,

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.359
<v Speaker 13>they want tonight. I'm not just calling about tonight. I'm

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:34.800
<v Speaker 13>calling about those other games.

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:35.839
<v Speaker 8>I don't like it.

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:39.520
<v Speaker 13>And Okay, maybe Diaz is gonna, you know, figure something out.

0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 13>But does he look to you really like he's gonna

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 13>figure something out.

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:46.359
<v Speaker 2>No, and you're calling all they kind of they kind

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 2>of need him to figure it out. If he could

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.960
<v Speaker 2>figure it out, it's a huge weapon in their bullpen.

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 2>They don't have a high leverage right handed reliever right now,

0:38:56.440 --> 0:38:58.680
<v Speaker 2>so I think they need to know what they have

0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:01.480
<v Speaker 2>with him. And and the Dodgers are not blowing this

0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 2>lead Allan. If they do, I'll walk back from San

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Francisco on the last day of the regular season.

0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 13>Now, Dave, you're gonna buy me pizza at Quarter Sheets

0:39:12.280 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 13>Pizza because last year you made fun of me. Is

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:16.759
