WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (7-22-26) 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.880 The quest for the three peat has begun. 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.960 Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.440 three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:12.520 the fifth fifth. 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.080 This is world Champion Dodger Talk. 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:15.920 Here we go again. 0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.119 We get ready running back to. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.800 Get in on the show called eight six six eight 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.040 seven two five seven, and be sure to follow Dodger 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:27.120 Talk wherever you get short podcasts. And now your host, 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.080 here's Tim Kakes. 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:31.800 Oh good night to be a Dodger fan. 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.919 As they come back and beat the Phillies in Philadelphia 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:39.600 by a final of nine to five. The Dodgers scored 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.879 nine runs on eleven hits, a couple of home runs, 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.479 a triple, couple of doubles, and on a night with 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.680 showy Otani hit the ball hard but nothing to show 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.120 for it, oh for four with a walk. It was 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.280 an intentional walk that O'tani received. 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.760 But the Dodgers get a three hit night. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.480 From Freddie Freeman, a three hit night from Tommy Edmon 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.960 and daal And rushing in the nine spot homers and 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.000 had a two run double as the Dodgers come back 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.040 and win it nine to five to take two to 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:12.200 three at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. John haman are 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.440 good friend at the MLB Network put it out there 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.560 earlier tonight, and I think Hayman does a really good 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.319 job covering baseball as a whole. Of course, he was 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.319 here in southern California for a long time covering baseball 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.880 and does it nationally now for the New York Post, 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.800 California Post and MLB Network. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.360 He tweeted out an hour. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.440 Ago or so, going at John Hayman on X there's 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.959 an obvious gap between the Dodgers and Brewers and everyone else. 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:44.080 Twenty eight teams have significant work to do. That's from 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.280 John Hayman of the MLB Network, and I think he 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.560 put it perfectly. The cream rises to the top, and 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:55.520 right now you are seeing hands and shoulders above everybody else. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:01.040 The Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers are the 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.400 two best teams in Major League Baseball, hands down, and 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.680 I fully expect these two teams, if it lines up 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.760 the way it should be, to be playing in the 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.320 NLCS for the right to go to the World Series. 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.079 Because the way these two teams are built. We'll see 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.560 what they do with the trade line deadline in Milwaukee 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.320 certainly have been a lot of talk about what the 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.920 Dodgers may or may not do at the August third 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.880 trade deadline. We can get into that as well, and 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.600 I'm sure we'll be talking about it in the next 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.160 couple of weeks leading up to the trade deadline on 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.239 that Monday, August third. But these two teams are only 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.239 to get better, and I know as a Dodger fan, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.120 this team is tremendously going to get better with the 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:40.640 additions of Edwin Diaz, Key k Hernandez coming back from injuries, 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.919 Tyler Glass now at some point, Blake Snell at some point, 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.040 and hopefully on the horizon down the road before this 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.040 season is over, Will Smith can get healthy and get 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:51.959 right and come back and help this team. 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:53.840 So again, you talk about. 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.560 A team that's got injuries that when they come back, 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.160 is probably better than any trade that you can make in. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.880 Baseball outside of terrek'schooble. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.480 I will go toe to toe argue with anybody who 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.000 wants to argue that right now, outside of Trek's scooble, 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.600 there's not a player in baseball that is better than 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.600 a Blake Snell, a Tyler Glass, now, Will Smith and 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:20.240 Edwin Diaz at their positions and even off the bench 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.320 at Key Hernandez. If you're looking for a bat off 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.720 the bench and a guy who can play multiple positions 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.040 than those guys I just mentioned, you can go out 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.320 the trade deadline right now and try to find guys 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.600 to fill those needs. But they're not going to be 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:36.040 there outside of terror Schooble, because you're gonna get these 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.320 guys back at different points here in the next two 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.400 months from their injuries, and looks like Edwin Diaz Keiky 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.920 Hernandez could be the first two up on the next 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.280 homestand when the Dodgers come back next Tuesday. And then 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.480 down the road, Blake Snell, who's made one appearance in 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.440 Triple A's gonna make a second one coming up even 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:58.520 behind him, Tyler Glass now who's trending in the right direction, 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.520 and let's hope cross that Will Smith can get right 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.000 and get back and help out this Dodgers team eight 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.280 six six nine eight seven two five to seventy. In 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:13.840 his absence, Dalton Rushing has played good and tonight, Dalton 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.360 Rushing provided the Pop with a home run, his eleventh 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.599 of the season, and then a two run double to 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.120 give the Dodgers the lead in the fifth as he 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.760 goes two for four, three ribies, a home run in 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:26.800 the ninth spot. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:28.440 Just unbelievable. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.720 What he did tonight along with Tommy Edmonton, the eight 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.599 to nine hitters a combined five for nine with a double, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:39.359 a triple, a home run, and drove in six of 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.440 the Dodgers' nine runs tonight and they're winning over the Phillies. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:47.479 Max Munsey with a milestone night. He hit a home 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.440 run tonight, two run shot in the sixth inning, number 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.120 two hundred and twenty nine as a Dodger, passing Ron 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:59.480 Say and now only trailing Eric Carrows as the all 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:06.120 time LA Dodgers home run leader. That is pretty amazing. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.640 And you look at the franchise list for the LA 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.440 Dodgers and where he now falls. He is now fifth 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:21.200 all time, Duke Snyder, Gil Hodges, Eric Carrolls, Roy Campanella 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:22.559 top four. 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.440 Max Munsey now number. 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:31.320 Five on the all time Dodgers home run lists, and 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.160 he is trailing Roy Campanella, who's at two hundred and 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.560 forty two in his Hall of Fame career. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.239 Wasn't a math major. I'm gonna do it real quick 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.920 that carried the one that's a three, that's. 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:45.800 Thirteen home runs away from Tyne Roy Campanell. He can 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.360 get there, You kidding me? Absolutely, Max Munsey can get there. 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:51.360 It's gonna take. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.880 A little streak and a little hot hitting, but he 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.960 can get there this year with thirteen home run shive 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.159 of Tyan Roy Campanella. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.839 But at Milestone Night you heard from him on. 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.400 The Club Out Show with David Vasse on the field 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.279 and Colin, you and I were talking about it during 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:04.760 the break. 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.919 Is he the greatest Dodger third basement of all time? 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:09.120 Max Munsey? 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:13.440 I mean, he's now second all time home run hitter 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:18.080 in La Dodger history, passing Ron Say number five all 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:22.279 time in Dodger franchise history. Is he the greatest Dodger 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.880 third baseman of all time? And we were thinking about 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.640 it during the break, And if you want to weigh 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.839 in eight six, six, nine, eight, seven, two, five seventy, 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.520 you can make a case it's not gonna last, but 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.360 you can make a case for Max Munsey. I think 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.880 when it's all said and done, when he decides to 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:47.400 hang him up, he could be the greatest Dodger third 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.320 basement of all time. But Ron Say, what he did 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.200 for as long as he did in a Dodger uniform 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.760 is pretty remarkable. And I know Max Mounsey just passed 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.720 him on the home run list for all time Dodger 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.279 LA Dodger home runs, but still pretty remarkable. The career 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.719 that Ron Say had as a member of the Dodgers 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.080 two sixty four average, three to fifty nine on base percentage, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.800 six time All Star. I mean, the guy was unreal 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.679 and you could I mean right there along with Mike Schmidt, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:22.560 George Brett for his era of great third basemen should 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.120 be in the Hall of Fame. By the way, then 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.320 where just Justin Turner fit in at the conversation, Let's 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:32.000 not forget old Red turn two for what he did 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.920 in a Dodger uniform, multiple time All Star, helped bring 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.960 a World Series championship back, help get the Dodgers over 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.440 the hump of getting back to a World Series in 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:42.440 twenty seventeen. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:45.280 You think about his story and with the Dodgers were 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:46.200 able to unlock with. 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.400 Him and becoming a real revelation in twenty fourteen, the 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.800 way he did taking back over the third base spot 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.840 with the Dodgers, I mean that home run in against 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.360 the Cubs in the NLCS. 0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:59.120 I mean, you. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.440 Talk about one of the club Dodger third basement of 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.680 all time. Justin Turner's right there as well. Adrian Beltray. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.560 Certainly we remember him for what he did in Seattle, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.800 what he did in Boston. He went on to have 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.280 a Hall of Fame career, no. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.000 Doubt about it. But what he did with the Dodgers 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:16.960 is pretty amazing. 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.640 In fact, you know, he in twenty two thousand and 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.600 four drove in over one hundred and twenty runs, forty 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.040 eight home runs, hit three thirty four, finished second the. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.280 MVP voting that year. 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.800 I mean that was a contract year for him, by 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.680 the way, And you can make a case that Beltray 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.360 only had good years in contract years. 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:35.440 That's what some say. 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:36.440 Uh. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.520 Pedro Guerrero at third base as a four time All 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.320 Star three h nine average, a guy who could hit 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.160 for power, hit three twenty and nineteen eighty five before 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.480 blowing out his knee in spring training in nineteen eighty six, 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.960 came back in eighty seven, hit over three hundred. You know, 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:55.480 had the power, hitting thirty plus home runs three times. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:56.120 I mean, the. 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:03.200 List of Dodger great third basemens it's it's not lengthy, 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.120 but it is certainly pretty impressive when you think about it, 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:15.840 with Beltray, Turner, Munsey, Pedro Guerrero, Ron say, pretty impressive, guys. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:19.840 And that's in the last fifty plus years of Dodger 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.520 baseball eight six, six. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:24.240 Nine, eight seven, two, five seventy. 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.360 Yeah, we've had some good ones play at Dodgers Stadium. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.959 We's had some really good ones. And again, Max Munsey, 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.200 when it's all said and done, could go down as 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.120 the greatest Dodger third basement of all time. But as 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.640 Colin he brought up during the break, when you look 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.839 at what he did before he took over a third base, 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.760 he was the second baseman for the Dodgers. He played 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.360 first base until the Dodgers went out and got Freddy Freeman. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.440 Max Munsey was the everyday. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:54.440 First baseman for the Dodgers until Freddie Freeman got here, 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.720 and then he went over to third base and since 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.000 then twenty twenty two, eighty star or eighty four games 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.200 at third base, twenty twenty three, one hundred and twenty 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.440 four games at third base, twenty twenty four, seventy two 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.440 games at third base. He was banged up twenty twenty five, 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.360 ninety seven games at third base, and already this year 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.959 ninety four games at third base. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.199 He has developed. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:26.520 In to a really good third baseman offensively and defensively. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.240 Great play tonight going to the third base foul line 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.199 and then making a one handed or a one headed 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.240 stop turn throws and one hops at to Freddie Freeman 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:35.840 for a. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:36.959 Putout at first base. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.560 He has developed into a really good third baseman after 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.800 playing first base and second base for the most part 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.480 of his early part of his career. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.959 Then you get to Ron say, you get to Justin Turner. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.720 I mean, it's a pretty impressive little list there at 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:56.680 the top five great Dodger third baseman, and you gotta 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.880 put Max Monts in that list.

I wasn't 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.640 a math major at UCLA, Marks, that's forty one. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:19.600 Okay, So two seasons maybe next season If. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.000 I don't know about that, I don't think maybe two 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:24.560 and a half. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.600 Maybe we're looking at twenty twenty. Let's hope there's a 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.200 season next year. Let's say twenty twenty eight is when 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:30.760 he gets there. 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:31.400 I mean, who knows. 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.120 If they go on to run of the postseason and 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.400 he hits four or five, maybe six in the postseason 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.040 this October, he could get there at the end of 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.480 twenty twenty seven, Mark, I appreciate the phone call. Thanks, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.000 for checking in. Yeah, I don't know, man, I don't 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.840 want to forget about Justin Turner as one of the 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.440 great Dodger third bases. I love old Red turn two. 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.560 I don't want to get into recency bias. And you know, 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.880 I know Beltray was great. I was at a lot 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.480 of those Dodger games during Beltray's era. I also remember 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.400 the down years Adrian Beltray had and then all of 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:01.560 a sudden twenty and forty had breakout season and became 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.320 a free agent and left with the Seattle I remember 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.760 that it wasn't all glorious times every single year. Justin 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.760 Turner was mister consistent ever since he got here in 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.160 twenty fourteen. It was a Dodger put him over the 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.720 hump in twenty seventeen, getting him back to the World Series, 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.280 A leader honor off the field, And I know the 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.320 numbers are what the numbers are, and we look at 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.080 that and that's a big part of the rankings. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.480 But I like Justin Turner what. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.320 He does off the field, so that's gonna boost him 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.120 up in my books. But you know what he did 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.080 to get the Dodgers championships, to be a consistent bat, 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.160 to be a guy you can rely on for a 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.560 big hit when you need it. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:39.600 Not just home runs. 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:41.840 He played a really good third base as well, just 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:45.520 a team leader, clubhouse leader. I'm not gonna leave. I'm 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.320 not gonna leave my guy Red Turn two out of 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:47.880 the equation. 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:48.480 You know. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:53.120 I think there's an argument, certainly that Max Munsey could 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.120 be two or three on the list. I'm gonna go 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.360 ahead and put him in Red Turn too. Justin Turner 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.200 kind of neck and neck. That's number one is on 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.920 say in my mind number two and three. I'm gonna 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.280 say two A, two B. I'm gonna say Justin Turner 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.800 and Max Munsey. Munsey could surpass him when it's all 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.600 said and done, no doubt about it. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:14.880 I think Adrian Beltra right there. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:19.080 But again, Adrian Beltray's overall body of work, you gotta 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.680 include Seattle, you gotta include Boston, you gotta include what 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.080 he did in Texas as well. That's what makes him 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.040 the Hall of Famer. He started it in LA with 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.080 the Dodgers, and we certainly love him for that. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.040 But did he go into the Hall of Fame as 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.880 a Dodger? Did he? 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:34.120 Did? 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:34.240 He? 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:35.440 No? 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.920 For that reason, he's not top three eight six, six, 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.160 nine eighty seven, two five seventy. My guy Blake checking 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:46.520 in here on Dodger talking from Colorado. Blake, good evening 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.920 to you, sir. What do you think, Blake? Is Max 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.480 Munsey the greatest Dodger third baseman ever? 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.640 I so, because we haven't had this for a long time. 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:00.680 I mean you can argue with so high. 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.119 Time well, Dodger third basement. What do you think as 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.440 far as third base? You know we got Justin Turner 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.520 who was right before Max Muncie. You know there was 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.720 a year's that was just third basement after third baseman. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.760 The you know, Miguel Rojas was playing third base for 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:21.480 the Dodgers at one point. Uh, you go back to 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.439 when Tim and Wallach was wearing a Dodger uniform. I 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.439 mean there was a run of a lot of Dodger 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:30.360 third basements until Justin Turner put put his name there 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.960 for for a good run in a Dodger uniform. 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:33.720 What do you think, Blake? 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.160 Yeah, Tommy take says. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:39.720 Is on a wall. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.399 Moncie and Tommy are doing amazing. Do you see Dodgers 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.760 doing anything with Kyle Tucky? He seems to be really struggling. 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.719 Well, Kyle Tucker is uh, if you're gonna, if you're 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.720 gonna set the bar what he's being paid. Certainly he 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.520 has not reached that level and what he should be 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.880 doing offensively zero for three night did an RBI sack 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.320 fly tonight to drive in a run, a big insurance 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.200 run for the Dodgers in the eighth inning before your 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.639 guy Tommy Imon had the basis clearing triple. But I 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.720 still got confidence that Kyle Tucker will turn things around. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.200 I know the numbers aren't great. 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.200 Certainly, the production is not what a sixty million dollars 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.560 a year player should be doing. But I got confidence 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.400 in him, Blake, I got confidence in the guy. Wait, 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.399 what do you think about the Dodgers going back to 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.560 New York for a three game set against the Mets? 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.080 What a roach? Ip, it's been so farther Ford too. 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:33.439 Yeah, hopefully sweep the Mets because they're not doing so 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:34.280 well New York. 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.640 Yeah, yeah, the New York Mets are struggling. All right, Blake, 0:18:37.680 --> 0:18:38.880 we'll talk to you in a couple of days. I'm 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:44.080 back on Sunday. Okay, okay, alright, sounds good, my guy, 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.360 Blake and Colorado. The Mets are forty three and sixty 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:53.680 on this season, currently seventeen games back in the NL East. 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.240 They have lost four of their They've lost six of 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.760 their last ten, and you think, okay, that's all right. 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:01.800 They're in the wildcard race, right I mean, the New 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.480 York Mets gotta be right there. As far as not 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:07.040 winning the division because Atlanta's running away with it, no 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:10.200 they're not. They're not even sniffing the wildcard race right now. 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:12.960 They're ten and a half games back. The New York 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:14.840 Mets are struggling now. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:16.120 They had a. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.199 Tough go before the All Star Break and after the 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.240 All Star Break as far as who was on their schedule. 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:25.120 They had to play four games against the Braves, they 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.199 ran into the hottest team in baseball, the Boston Red Sox. 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.520 They had the Phills for three and now they just 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.400 finished off a three game series in Milwaukee against the Brewers. 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.520 So they get some of baseball's better teams before the 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.520 All Star Break and now after the All Star break, 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.480 and now they're going to run into the Dodgers for 0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.159 a three game series over the weekend. 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:47.560
