<v Speaker 2>six to four. Hi, everybody, and welcome into Dodger Talk

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:57.400

<v Speaker 2>some Dodgers baseball. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. Again, is that number? Put it in your phone,

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 2>we want to hear from you. Eight sixty six, nine

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy. A rough day in the

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning for the Dodgers, and it seems to be

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>a reoccurring theme, especially the last week for this Dodgers team.

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Big innings by their opponents. For the fifth time in

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the last seven games, the Dodgers have allowed four plus

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:45.399
<v Speaker 2>runs to their opponents in an inning and it's cost

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>them several times. Go back to last Sunday, the Dodgers

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>gave up six runs in the seventh and end up

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>losing to the Angels. Go back to Wednesday in Pittsburgh,

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a five run eighth inning in which the bulpen just

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>imploded in a loss to the Pirates. Go back to

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Friday nine against these same White Socks, a seven run

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>fifth inning, Rokie Susaki and the Dodgers bullpen just could

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>not get out and a crooked number put up against

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>them and what turned about to be a Dodger loss. Today,

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.640
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers a one nothing lead. Im A Shean two

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 2>times around this White Sox lineup five innings, looked really good,

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>was getting swinging missus, was getting them to chase out

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of the zone, and had eight strikeouts over five innings.

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Then the sixth inning comes and he falls behind. He

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>gets ahead to two to Sam and As Tansi, and

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 2>he gives up a solo home run and all of

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>a sudden it's a tie game. Then he gives up

0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 2>the base hit. Then Andrew Benattendi an RBI double and

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 2>next thing you know, the Dodgers are down two to one.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>That was it for image Shean, and it erases really

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 2>five innings of really good work from image Shean. Attacking

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>the strike zone. Four of his eight strikeouts were off

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the changeum. He had a strike off off the fastball.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>He had a couple of strike offs off the curveball.

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>He was really good through five innings. And I'll go

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>back to the fourth inning. With two outs, he gives

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 2>up a double to Colson Montgomery. Then he falls behind

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>two to one to Braid Montgomery, and you're starting to

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>think to yourself, Okay, here it is, here's that inning,

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>here's that trouble. Two outs, double behind two to one

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 2>to Braid Montgomery, gets a curveball in their first strike,

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 2>then a change up and he gets strike three on

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Braid Montgomery to end the great job, great sequencing between

0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 2>him and Dalton Rushing gets a swing and miss and

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>gets out of the fourth inning. Then in the fifth

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 2>a one out walk does not come back to bite him,

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 2>get the fly ball out and then a strikeout his

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>longest inning eighteen pitches through five.

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Again not a lot of run support.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>It was only a one nothing game, but you felt

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty good about the way Immit Sheeen was pitching that

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>third time around, and he gets hit around by the

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 2>top of the lineup, and then Jack Dryer comes in

0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and couldn't get an out, gives up a home run,

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>a single, and then a two run shot to Mira

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>Coosa's own chase my draft. The big inning against the

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers reared its ugly head again, and as Hose Mode

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 2>has said, sometimes you can go series weeks, months without

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 2>something like this happening. And in the course of the

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 2>last seven games, the Dodgers have had five times given

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 2>up big innings to their opponents, and for of those

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 2>seven times it is hurt them and cause the loss,

0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and today one of those games. It's tough when you

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 2>give up six runs in the six and you feel

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>like just you can't get anybody out. Driver is able

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to get out of it, but the damage have been done.

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Now to the credit, the Dodgers fought back with the

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>run of the seventh, Mookie BET's home run in the eighth,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 2>moral Mookie in a second, and then Alex Frielan battling

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 2>for an RBI double in the ninth. Dodgers had traffic

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 2>on the base pats they walk o'tany he you know,

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 2>hard hit ball by Pahz gets a force out at second.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, things could be different.

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 2>The ball, you know, it doesn't go right to mydraft

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 2>who makes a great defensive play flipping it to the

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>shortstop Montgomery for a force out. Who knows bases are loaded.

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Things get, you know, three ft four feet to a

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>different direction. That ball goes up the middle for a

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 2>base hit, and it's a different story. But as it is,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.679
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers fall short. They fall to the White Sox

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.240
<v Speaker 2>six to four, and it's these big innings that are

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>really becoming problems. And I think Jose Mota touched on

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 2>something really well where is that Dodger reliever outside of

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vesia that you could go to when when you

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 2>see the momentum building from a team, and in this

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 2>case today was the sixth inning, all of a sudden

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.119
<v Speaker 2>you're down two to one. You have got to put

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>a stopper in there to stop what is happening in

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the momentum and get out of that inning without any

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 2>more damage being done in hopes that your offense then

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>will get it going down two to one, you got

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>to have somebody who can clamp what is happening completely down,

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>shut off that offense from the opposition, and get your

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>bats back up to bat. Alex Vessi has really been

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the only guy right now that has proven to be

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>a stopper, somebody who can end a threat even when

0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>nobody on or there's traffic on the base pass. Who

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>else do you have confidence in right now? Not a

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of Dodger arms down there that you feel like, okay,

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>we need an out, We need somebody to get us

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 2>out of this jam. Tyne runs ninety feet away, you

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>get you know, Tyne runs on base. Whatever this circumstance

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 2>may be, but there is clearly momentum in favor of

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>the other team that.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 4>You need to stop.

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vessi has really been the only guy I can

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>think of right now. You can go to Jack Dryer

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>has not been that guy. And Jack Dryer, for whatever reason,

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>is just not having the command and when he does

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>throw strikes, he's getting hit hard. Thus today giving up

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 2>a home run, a single, and then a two run

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>home run, and those were hard hit balls. The Coleson

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Montgomery two run home run, that.

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 4>Ball was crushed.

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>The Chase my Draft home run, solid content at good

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 2>exit velocity, crushed. The Dodgers need some of these veteran

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 2>arms to get healthy and get healthy quick. Brock Stewart.

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Brock Stewart and this bone spur at his foot. He

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>has been hurt ever since he came back to the

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers last year. They need brock Stewart to get back

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and get back healthy and be a right handed arm

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>that they can now count on is to come in

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 2>and close an inning, get out of a jam, stop

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 2>a big threat from the opposition. Edwin Diaz is still

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>a ways away. Evan Phillips, I mean could be coming

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 2>down the pike. I don't think he's close. He's not

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.839
<v Speaker 2>out there doing what brock Stewart's doing as far as

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>building himself back up in minor league rehab appearances, but

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 2>he kind of feels like the next guy out there.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers need to get some arms in that bullpen,

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>and arms that they can rely upon to go out

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 2>and get out of trouble and to bail out whatever

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>has happened to the starter or the reliever in front

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.040
<v Speaker 2>of him. Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five seven.

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>It has reared its ugly head. And I go back

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to the game in which Roki Sasaki had trouble, and

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Sasaki puts himself in his own trouble command issues, but

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 2>then the bullpen doesn't necessarily come in and help him out.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>If your starter gets into trouble, you need guys out

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 2>of the bullpen that can come in and extinguish a fire.

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 2>They need somebody they can come in and put out

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 2>what is starting to smold and get bigger and build

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more and the fire starting to go

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 2>there for the for the opposing team, as far as

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>momentum and runs and traffic on the base pass gos

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>just in my mind at this point, just don't have

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 2>anybody besides Alex Vesia, and he can't pitch every game.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 2>They've got to find somebody else. Blake trying at times.

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:03.079
<v Speaker 2>At time it's Blake trining, but there's nobody else right now.

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>You just feel like, Okay, I'm gonna go down to

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>him and he's gonna get me out of this situation.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:13.600
<v Speaker 2>At Gardlo Rodriguez maybe at times, but then he's been

0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 2>up and down as well. Justin Robleski was that guy

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>last year, but now he's a starter. Kyle Hurt, Will

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:28.199
<v Speaker 2>kleinb they were those arms last month, I mean last

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 2>month in May. The Dodgers bullpen was the best in baseball.

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.280
<v Speaker 2>In June, they haven't. Now an era combined over eight

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>and it is what June the fourteenth. Things could change

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 2>quickly in baseball, the ups and downs of a marathon,

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and sixty two game season. Just when you

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>feel like things are going right and you figured it out,

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>things can change in a blink. Things can change in

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.079
<v Speaker 2>a game, in a series, in a week, and all

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, thirty eight consecutive score innings combined by

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.719
<v Speaker 2>everybody and anybody down in that Dodger's bullpen has now

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>turned into a bullpen. That's north of eight combined here

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>in the month of June. How much confidence do you

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>haven't Kyle Hurt last couple outings have not been good.

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Will climb Will clinb I still got confidence in him.

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>But what he has done the last couple outings. You

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>have three hits in an inning on Thursday in Pittsburgh.

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, you go back to what he pitched in

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the last road trip in Arizona got roughed up. I mean,

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 2>they need more arms to get healthy down there in

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the back end of that bullpen.

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 4>They just need it.

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>And on the flip side, and David Vassi brought this

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 2>up the last couple of days.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 4>It goes hand in hand with starting pitching.

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you can't have a bullpen continuously bail out starting pitching.

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 4>Like they have in some of these games.

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>You go back to the bad outing a week ago

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>from Emmit Sheean put the Dodgers in a hole. Now

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>you're relying upon the bullpen to be perfect.

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 4>In May they were. In June, they haven't been.

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 2>You look at the last Rokie Sasaki start, same thing happened,

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 2>got into trouble, big inning. The Dodgers' bullpen had to

0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>be perfect and couldn't. The starting pitching needs to continue

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 2>to go deeper into games. The starting pitching needs to

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 2>be good. They got to give him five innings, at

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 2>least they did today with Imagean, no doubt, but the

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning completely different story. And Jose Moda mentioned it,

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and if you're watching the game, if you were listening

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>to the game, if you go back and kind of

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.240
<v Speaker 2>look at the numbers and the pitch by pitch, he

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't lose velocity.

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:40.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Sheen was still.

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Pumping seventy ninety seven ninety six, So wasn't a loss

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>of velocity in the six It didn't seem like he

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't have that bite on his off speed pitches.

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 4>It was still there.

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 2>He just wasn't getting the chases and the promise. He

0:12:55.559 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 2>made mistakes, and they pounded on those mistakes first three

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 2>batters that he facing the sixth inning.

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.079
<v Speaker 4>So again it's a combination.

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Starting pitching needs to give them some depth and the bullpen,

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>which had been perfect. And I know you can't be

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 2>perfect all the time, but you go from being perfect

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>for thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings to now a bullpen

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>combined with an Era pushing over eight here in the

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>month of June eight six, six, nine eighty seven two

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>five said we'll take some phone calls here. Thank you

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 2>for being patient. I appreciated Paul in El Segundo first

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 2>up here on Dodger Talk after the White Sox score

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 2>six in the six and beat the Dodger six to four.

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.719
<v Speaker 5>Hey doing, Paul, I'm good, Jim, how are you?

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing okay? One more I think about this. This

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.200
<v Speaker 2>is getting a little frustrating, these big innings.

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Paul.

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 5>Right, you're bringing up about the right handed relief.

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 6>And trade deadline. I think let me ask you this.

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 6>I think they should go for a dollars chapmin. So

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 6>my question is whether he's gonna fit into that clubhouse.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 6>It also gives you, now you have a righty save

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 6>in a lefty save when Diaz comes back, you know

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 6>what I mean. So we talk about when it gets busy,

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 6>sometimes you have to bring in a guy in the seventh,

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 6>you know what I mean.

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 4>I get that.

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I get that, But you also are paying You're also

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>paying a guy, and I appreciate the phone call.

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 4>You're breaking up a little bit there, Paul.

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 2>You're also paying a guy named Tanner Scott a lot

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 2>of money this year and for another two years, big

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 2>time money to be a closer, if not a closer,

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.960
<v Speaker 2>high leverage, end of game guy that can get you

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>out in the seventh and eighth inning and ninth inning

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>and closing out games.

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 4>Thanks for the phone call, phone call.

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't see Andrew Friedman going and getting an eroald

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 2>As Chapman at the deadline. I just don't see that.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 2>That's Tanner Scott's role. That's why you have Tanner Scott.

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>That's why you have signed him to a big deal

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 2>last year and didn't pay out in twenty five. He's

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 2>pitched a lot better in twenty six. I'll be in

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>a couple of hiccups. I know Arizona and the bomb

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>that he gave up to could tell Marte.

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 4>But for the most part, he's been really good.

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 2>But I don't see Andrew Freeman going out and getting

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.760
<v Speaker 2>a left handed arm. Listen, look at the injured list

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 2>for this Dodgers team at various times. These dudes should

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>be coming back to help out the depth of this

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team. I don't think there's a trade out there

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>right now that Andrew Freeman. I mean, I'm sure there is.

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 2>With Terrek Schouoble. I shouldn't say there's no trade. But

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 2>you've got Evan Phillips sixty day il. You know he's

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>on a rehabit simon the last day or two in

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Triple A Oklahoma City. Okay, there is a high leverage

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 2>reliever you can count on. Hopefully he's healthy coming back

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 2>the arm surgery. Brock Stewart. You trained for him because

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 2>he was really good in Minnesota. How do we get

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 2>that brock Stewart when he comes back healthy again hurt,

0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna come back healthy. Tyler Glass now beginning to

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>feel better, hopes this is a zum pitching here shortly

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and be back after the All Star break. Blake Snell,

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 2>mister Snell Zilla, mister two time cy Young Award winner.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 2>When is he coming back well after the All Star break.

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>You've got dudes on the injured list who, in theory,

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 2>when they come back at their respective times, should be

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 2>able to fill these needs that we're talking about right now.

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't see an Ewalda Chapman trade as something that

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 2>you need to go out and make when you've got

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 2>injured guys, or in this case of Tanner Scott, who's

0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:56.760
<v Speaker 2>already there that fit that mold, that fit that need.

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 2>As you said, as a left handed closer, you got

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott, So I don't and it's not into DNA

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.359
<v Speaker 2>necessarily at the trade deadline of Andrew Freeman to go

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>out there and get that high leverage closer. They do

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 2>that in the off season where you don't have to

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>give up the prospects, and you can do it in

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 2>free agency and it doesn't cost you in theory as

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>much as far as you know, like I said, a

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.480
<v Speaker 2>minor league talent in your farm system. They go out

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and they get the Brox Stewarts. They go out and

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.200
<v Speaker 2>they pick up the relievers that aren't going to cost

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.399
<v Speaker 2>you a lot financially and aren't going to cost you

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot as far as prospects, and bank on the

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 2>fact that they're going to come in and continue to

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 2>have whatever good seasons they're having with your team. And

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 2>they just got to get Brock Stewart healthy, got to

0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 2>get him back to what he was in Minnesota. Evan

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Phillips has got to come back like he was pre

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.160
<v Speaker 2>arm injury. You know, this is a Dodgers team out

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.280
<v Speaker 2>the position players. I mean Edwin Diaz when he comes back,

0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 2>hopefully you get the Edwin Diaz that you signed to

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the offseason as one of the best relievers in baseball

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 2>the last few years, and.

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 4>Certainly what he did last year in New York.

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>You're hoping all these guys, when they get healthy, are

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>going to come back and fill these voids, because that's

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:14.439
<v Speaker 2>what you're paying them to do, and that's why you

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 2>brought them in, and that's why you sign them to

0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>the deals they did.

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.200
<v Speaker 4>So I don't see the.

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers going out again and making a deal just for

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.120
<v Speaker 2>the sake of getting a roll as Chapman, I don't

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:23.439
<v Speaker 2>see it.

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy.

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep things going. We're gonna go to the golf course.

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:32.160
<v Speaker 2>We got We got Eric on a golf course checking

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 2>in here on Dodge. First off, where are you golfing

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Eric?

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 7>Hey, I'm in Beaumont, California at Oak Valley. I'm on

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 7>the fourth hole right now and I'm three over. So

0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 7>I've been voguing every hole so far.

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Playing great game. There luckal change.

0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you know what I'm playing just like the bullpen is.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 4>So there you go? All right? Is that it? Eric

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:55.359
<v Speaker 4>is that all you got.

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.239
<v Speaker 7>No, no, no, uh, Let's go after Chapman. Let's go

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 7>get Chapman. He's lights out and you know this bullpen.

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 7>We're just gonna have to piece it together. We've been

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 7>doing that the last couple of championships and that's how

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 7>we're gonna live, is just piecing the lineup together. And yeah,

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 7>it's gonna it's up to the coaching staff and the

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 7>front office and make some moves.

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:18.640
<v Speaker 5>All right, we'll be all.

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 7>Right, Tim, We're in first place.

0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have all the confidence they're gonna be. Okay, Eric,

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>play a little bit better. Okay, you're three over on

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.000
<v Speaker 2>the fourth hole, and we need you to step up

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 2>your game. You can talk about the bullpens. Eric, I

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>need you to step up your golf game right now.

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Kim, you.

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 7>Know what, I just saw myself a paloma, So I

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 7>will step it up.

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 2>There you go, enjoy that Poloman, enjoy the rest of

0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 2>their round of your golf. There, Eric, I appreciate the

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.199
<v Speaker 2>phone call. In no way is anybody panicking. And this

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers team, the depth, just think think about this. The

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>depth of this Dodgers team is what it's been built on.

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Now the depth has been challenged because the starting pitching

0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.160
<v Speaker 2>has been hurt, and now the bullpen has been hurt,

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 2>and the guys who have been pitching really well in

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 2>are not pitching well in June. And so these big

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 2>innings are being magnified even more so now.

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 4>And how do you stop these big innings?

0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, again, it's not just going out and making a

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 2>trade for the sake of getting a rolled as che No,

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 2>you have the arms, you have the commodities here already

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.120
<v Speaker 2>in house. You have those weapons offensively that are gonna

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 2>get healthy in taoscar and Will Smith, and I'm not

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 2>worried about that. These guys just need to get healthy.

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 2>The good thing is, I think the Dodgers will be

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.719
<v Speaker 2>fine through the All Star Break and post All Star Break.

0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I think there needs to be a line, there needs

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 2>to be a line from Oklahoma City to La of

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 2>guys just coming back off the injured list, whether it's

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>position players, whether it's pitching, starting, or relievers. These guys

0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.920
<v Speaker 2>need to start coming back. And when you pull back

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>the scope here of the season, why rush a pitcher

0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 2>back Evan Phillips when you wouldn't do that coming off

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.680
<v Speaker 2>of Tommy John surgery, Why rush back somebody who's maybe

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 2>not one hundred percent in the back's flaring up a

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 2>little bit in Tyler Glass Now in mid to early June,

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 2>when you still got the end of the month, you

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 2>still got July, August, September to go for this season,

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:22.840
<v Speaker 2>just to get.

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Ready for postseason baseball.

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 2>So there is no rush for these guys to come

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:29.920
<v Speaker 2>back before the All Star break. But I think once

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 2>you get to that Midsummer Classic and we get to

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the back half of July and that first road trip

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>in New York against the Yankees, and they'll see the

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Mets again in those first couple weeks after the All

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Star Break in New York, these guys gotta start getting right.

0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 2>And at that point they need to start getting healthy

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 2>and building and building for September. They've built themselves a

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.840
<v Speaker 2>good lead here in the division. They're still playing well.

0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 2>This is the first series they lost since what the

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Brave Series in the second week of May. So again

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:01.600
<v Speaker 2>sky is not falling. It's not to the end of

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the world, but certainly these big innings and the lack

0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>of the bullpen coming in and clamping these innings down

0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and stopping the momentum of the opposing team in these

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.679
<v Speaker 2>big innings has been a problem, and they need to

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 2>find somebody that could come in and be that that

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 2>that fireman, that guy who can come in and extinguish

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:27.639
<v Speaker 2>whatever fire is started offensively for the opposing team. Eight six, six, nine,

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five to seven will come back, and

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna hear from you. Eight six six, nine, eight

0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:34.960
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is a number Dodgers fall in Chicago.

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 2>They lose to the White Sox six to four. Immed

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Shean gave up three in the six left with the

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 2>runners on. Jack Dryer continued the mess, giving up two

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.879
<v Speaker 2>home runs. It was a six run sixth for the

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.480

<v Speaker 2>The Solos shot. Mookie Betts starting to heat up. His

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.440
<v Speaker 2>fifth hit in the last two days. He had three yesterday,

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 2>he had two today, raising his batting average down to

0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:48.080
<v Speaker 2>two oh four on this season. I know it's not great,

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.199
<v Speaker 2>but he is starting to get hot here on this

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 2>road tip. Hopefully he can carry that home to a

<v Speaker 2>Jewelers own the Dream. Dodgers loose to the White Sox

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>six to four. Had a one nothing lead that was

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:16.960
<v Speaker 2>gone in the six when m Machine and Jack Dryer

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>gave up six straight hits, and all six of those

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 2>runners would score either by hits or home runs and

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 2>a six to one lead turned all of a sudden

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 2>into a six to four game. In the ninth inning,

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers made it interesting with the tie and runner on,

0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 2>but could not get the base hit they needed.

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:33.080
<v Speaker 4>They had stranded eight runners today.

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:36.120
<v Speaker 2>They were zero for seven with runners in scoring position

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:38.480
<v Speaker 2>as they dropped two to three in Chicago. They go

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.720
<v Speaker 2>three and three on the road trip, and they fall

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 2>to forty five and twenty seven on this season. Let's

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>go to maryon Long Beach. Thanks for being patient. Mary,

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Dodger Talk on this Sunday afternoon.

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Already.

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:53.400
<v Speaker 8>Hey, I am so dandy even though my Dodgers lost today.

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.440
<v Speaker 8>But you know what, we're just waiting on glass and snow.

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:00.240
<v Speaker 8>I wish we were waiting on Dzuka that we do

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.199
<v Speaker 8>that this year A case and.

0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:05.160
<v Speaker 9>Ed when dis coming back, Well he's coming back.

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 8>I mean, come on, you're gonna We're gonna clean up everything.

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a long list of guys they're waiting to come back.

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 2>And as I said, there needs to be that train

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 2>coming from Oklahoma City post All Star break with these

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 2>guys healthy and ready to go and ready to help

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 2>out this Dodgers team. Because the guys who've been doing

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 2>it for the first three and a half months of

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 2>this season. You know you're starting to see some inningans

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 2>mount up. I appreciate the phone call, Mary. I look

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:34.360
<v Speaker 2>at Justin Robleski. You know, Justin Robleski's already passed his

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:36.159
<v Speaker 2>career high in innings.

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 4>Pitched at the big league level.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Again, small sample size has been a reliever now as

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 2>a starter this year in twenty twenty six, you're gonna

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:46.760
<v Speaker 2>see those numbers greatly increase. I get it, but you're

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 2>now looking close to seventy Indians pitched. You know, can

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.880
<v Speaker 2>he throw another sixty seventy innings here and be one

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 2>hundred and twenty innings in his first year as a

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>real starter at the big league level. That's a lot

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 2>of Indians. That's a lot of wear and tear on

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>a guy's arm, and he wasn't even supposed to be

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 2>in the rotation to start off this season. You know

0:26:03.520 --> 0:26:06.159
<v Speaker 2>you're counting on Blake Snell and Tyler Glass now to

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 2>be healthy. Eric lower was brought in to be that

0:26:09.320 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 2>six starter so they can keep guys somewhat fresh pitching

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 2>once a week, and again, the Dodgers have been very

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:19.359
<v Speaker 2>fortunate with the six man rotation, you're not asking guys

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:20.879
<v Speaker 2>to pitch more than one time a week.

0:26:21.200 --> 0:26:23.920
<v Speaker 4>That's a nice luxury to have if.

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.239
<v Speaker 2>You're the Dodgers, and they've been able to enjoy it

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.960
<v Speaker 2>now through mid June, and I think that's the plan

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 2>to keep it going. Certainly, when you've got Otani pitching

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>once a week and you can limit Yamamoto to pitching

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:39.560
<v Speaker 2>once a week, that's great. You're alleviating extra starts from

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 2>them and wear and tear during the regular season and

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:45.199
<v Speaker 2>mileage on their arms here in the regular season.

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time.

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna need other guys to come back post All

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Star Break, because they're all gonna eventually come back off

0:26:52.200 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the injured list and help out this Dodgers team and

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>build on what they've already able to do going into

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:58.919
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Break and beyond. Eight six six nine

0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five. Any Carlos in Valencia the six

<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 10>And by the way, I'm not playing golf, so I'm just.

0:27:23.560 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 2>soccer fever.

0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't care if it's uh, you know.

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 10>When it comes around. Yeah, every four years when it

0:27:30.640 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 10>comes around, for sure. I don't have a you know,

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 10>much interested in soccer except for that. But uh, to

0:27:37.359 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 10>get back to the golfer though, I'm sure he was

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 10>drinking a few pilomas before he called in and got

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.679
<v Speaker 10>your eyer up.

0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 4>What's on your mind?

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 5>We got we got guys coming back.

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.159
<v Speaker 10>We'll be We'll be okay, We'll be okay.

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.160
<v Speaker 10>Shout out to my man Lou out there, who thinks

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 10>we're not going to make a three feet this year.

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Lou, Lou's got something else that he needs to

0:27:57.520 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 2>be thinking about. I appreciate the phone call, Carlos. This

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.200
<v Speaker 2>team is gonna be okay. They just can't afford any

0:28:03.200 --> 0:28:06.720
<v Speaker 2>more injuries. And you think about what they have been

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 2>able to withstand here through the first three plus months

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.960
<v Speaker 2>of the season. I mean Will Smith has just been

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 2>banged up and not playing every day and not been

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 2>the Will Smith of the last couple of years where

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.560
<v Speaker 2>he was an All Star and you're asking Dalton Rushing

0:28:21.560 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 2>to play a lot more and he's done a very

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 2>good job of doing that. He continues to grow as

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 2>a player and as a catcher. You know, you haven't

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 2>had Tyler Glass now or Blake Snell for that matter.

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:32.879
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell made what one or two stars? That's it

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 2>here in twenty twenty six. You know Edwin Diaz was

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 2>great initially. And then the bodies in the elbow, which

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>we have learned has been a new name for you know,

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:46.480
<v Speaker 2>chips elbow chips, bone chips in the elbow that have

0:28:46.720 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 2>that bark and really, you know, irritate a picture when

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:53.200
<v Speaker 2>they throw. Doctor Neil Latrosh told Petro some money that

0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 2>during the week is I know a lot of you

0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:57.160
<v Speaker 2>have been saying, what is this new term bodies in

0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>the elbow? What does that mean? Loose bodies? It's just chips,

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, bone ships that are irritating or getting certain

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:06.440
<v Speaker 2>spots in your elbow and you can't shake it free

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 2>or give them the mood around because they're just stuck

0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and so they cause pain and in some cases if

0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not pain, they cause you for preventing to really

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.600
<v Speaker 2>extend your arm and throw the pitches you want, and

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:19.680
<v Speaker 2>thus you don't have the same life on your fastball

0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 2>or your off speed pitches. And you know, this is

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 2>the new term loose bodies. So we've had two Dodger

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 2>pitchers have that surgery, and both those pictures hopefully will

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:30.880
<v Speaker 2>be coming back post All Star Break eight sixty six

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 2>nine eight seven two five seventy. Ken in Newport Beach, Ken,

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 2>how you doing, my friend?

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 5>Well, the twenty foot waves are gone, so now it's boring.

0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 4>And you don't paddle out, do you? Ken? Did you

0:29:44.280 --> 0:29:45.880
<v Speaker 4>go out and watch there at the wedge and in

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 4>other spots?

0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 5>You know what, I've lived in Newport for fifty years.

0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 5>I lived on the ocean front for thirty years. Never

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 5>served in my life. But I went out and match

0:29:57.760 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 5>crowd and looked at those waves and it was just

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 5>they were stark crazy to him? Yeah, cool, all right,

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 5>just a couple of comments. I don't think that she

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 5>is a starting pitcher. He's a four or five in pitcher.

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.959
<v Speaker 5>Every time he gets still later he gets crushed driers

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 5>two games in a row has got crushed. And his

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 5>fastball is for me. I think you need to take

0:30:27.120 --> 0:30:32.120
<v Speaker 5>him out of that world you mentioned about free and uh,

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 5>he's three for twenty. He was getting good. He's three

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 5>for twenty in the last eight games. And there's a

0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 5>big hole in two places, number one, second base, and

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 5>that guy's coming back. He's in the minors in the

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 5>right field. How long are we going to go on

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 5>with a sixty million dollars guy hitting two twenty three.

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 5>It was a bad fielder. It changed those two things,

0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 5>and we're gonna win a championship. But there are major

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.920
<v Speaker 5>deals right now, and when the injuries changed, we'll be

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 5>back where we need to be. And by the way,

0:31:03.720 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 5>the White Sox are a really good team and their

0:31:05.760 --> 0:31:11.320
<v Speaker 5>best hitter is injured. Yeah, there's the ball, so they

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 5>are they are game. But yeah, that much you can do.

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Now, can I appreciate it? One of those big innings

0:31:17.920 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 2>they give up again today? Thanks for checking in. Ken

0:31:20.280 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 2>from Newport Beach. You ask about Kyle Tucker. I mean,

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you sixty million reasons why he's not coming

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 2>out of right field. I mean that alone explains it.

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 2>They're just they're not going to pull the rip cord

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 2>on Kyle Tucker. He is second highest paid player in baseball, right.

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's per year.

0:31:39.120 --> 0:31:42.240
<v Speaker 4>It ain't happening, Kyle Tucker. They are going to ride through.

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 2>His ups and his downs, and his goods and his

0:31:44.640 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>bads here in this course of the season. I think,

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 2>on a positive note, you look at what Mookie Betts

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.120
<v Speaker 2>has been able to do over this road trip. A

0:31:51.120 --> 0:31:53.560
<v Speaker 2>couple of hits in Pittsburgh, hit the ball hard, even

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 2>if he didn't have the success to show for it.

0:31:55.560 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 2>And then you go to Chicago and he has three

0:31:57.600 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 2>hits yesterday and he has two more today. I'll be

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:03.080
<v Speaker 2>an infield swinging bunt. You'll take it a positive result.

0:32:03.320 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 2>You build on that. And what did he do later

0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 2>in the game. Dodgers were down six to two. Mookie

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Bets goes deep, hits a solo home run, his first

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:11.959
<v Speaker 2>home run in the month of June. And you know,

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, Mookie Betts, who hadn't been hitting

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 2>over two hundred since March, is now hitting two oh

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:20.000
<v Speaker 2>four again. It's not something that's gonna jump on. Oh

0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:22.480
<v Speaker 2>look at what Mookie Betts is doing. He's on fire, no,

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 2>but he's trending in the right direction and he's starting

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 2>to stack at bats and games and series, and you

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>hope they can build on that moving forward in this

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>home stand with three against Tampa Bay and then three

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 2>against the Baltimore Orioles Dodgers. Baseball is brought to by

0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Medello Midello The Mark of a Fighter. You mentioned Tommy Edmond.

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 2>He's in TRIPAA Oklahoma City. kN alluded to a second

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 2>basement coming back off the injured list.

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 4>Well, he is scheduled to.

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Come off the sixty day IL, and Dave Roberts wasn't

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:53.080
<v Speaker 2>there to talk to the media today. He is with

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:55.400
<v Speaker 2>his daughter and his family up in Stanford for her

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 2>graduation from Stanford, and congratulations to her and the Roberts family.

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 2>But I expect Tommy Edmond, when he's eligible to come

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:07.320
<v Speaker 2>off the IL on Tuesday, should be back with the Dodgers,

0:33:07.440 --> 0:33:10.560
<v Speaker 2>if not shortly thereafter. I mean, it's he's been in

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the minor leagues in Triple A on this minor league

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:15.680
<v Speaker 2>rehab assignment for a while now, and he think about this.

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:19.360
<v Speaker 2>He's not just been playing second base, it's been playing

0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of third base as well in Triple A

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City. Why is that important, Well, it's important because

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 2>the odd man out out of this could be Alex

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 2>frielan Santiago Espinal. And if that's the case, you got

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Edman, who can play third when you're gonna give

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Max Monty a day off. And you got Tommy Eemen,

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 2>who can play second on an everyday basis as a

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.600
<v Speaker 2>switch hitter, so he can fill a couple of needs

0:33:42.640 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 2>there playing two positions in the infield.

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 4>When this is a Tommyeman who you ask.

0:33:45.960 --> 0:33:48.960
<v Speaker 2>To play center field last year, Watt's not gonna be

0:33:49.000 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 2>the case anymore. You got Andy Pajez Roman center field.

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's continue out in the phones. Thank you for being

0:33:55.160 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 2>so patient. We appreciate it. Let's go to Bill and

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Mission Viejo. Bill, your next up on Dodger Talk. After

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:04.040
<v Speaker 2>the White Sox hang on and beat the Dodger six

0:34:04.080 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 2>to four in Chicago.

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 4>How you doing Bill?

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? By the way, was this the bullpen game for

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 5>the White Sox.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:12.799
<v Speaker 4>It was an opener with Eric Fetty. He was going

0:34:12.840 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 4>to get most of the Bullkanny. There was a.

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Strategic move to have the left hander come in Hudson

0:34:19.600 --> 0:34:22.720
<v Speaker 2>and try to face the lefty and Otani and then Freeman,

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.400
<v Speaker 2>also a left hander, at the top three of the Dodgers' lineup.

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 2>It backfired because Freeman hit the home run, but it

0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was set up to be lefty dominant to start the

0:34:31.520 --> 0:34:33.680
<v Speaker 2>game to bring in Eric Fetty, so it wasn't really

0:34:33.680 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen game.

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 5>Dodgers started.

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 7>To have given up eight home runs on this road

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.200
<v Speaker 7>trip is not something it is.

0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 4>It's way too many.

0:34:41.280 --> 0:34:43.799
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers' bullpen got an ERA north of eight

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>now in the month of June.

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:45.919
<v Speaker 4>That's not as good as either.

0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a recipe for disaster when you've got your starters

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>not able to keep the ball in the ballpark and

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 2>your bullpen is just not able to keep runners off

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 2>the base.

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the guy that face she and it's only a

0:34:56.360 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 5>second home run of the year.

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, he hit it far, and he hit it

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 2>on an O two fastball. I appreciate the phone call, Bill, Yeah,

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 2>he crushed it. That was an Antonasi a solo home

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:11.160
<v Speaker 2>run in the sixth inning on an O two pitch.

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Again, right there.

0:35:13.160 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 2>That case, you give up a home run, the guy

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 2>beats you on a fastball, you tried to sneak by him.

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>He hits you deep for a home run. Not a

0:35:20.760 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 2>power hitting guy. Top of the lineup, for the White Sox.

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:27.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a one to one game. At that point, I

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:31.680
<v Speaker 2>need image shean to, you know, bear down, throw strikes

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 2>and get out, get out of that sixth inning. Go

0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:40.480
<v Speaker 2>out there and and battle. Now, get aggressive to one

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 2>one game. You know you're you're you're backing it, fighting

0:35:44.120 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 2>against the team, and you're facing the number two hitter

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:50.879
<v Speaker 2>and you give up a single, well, then you give

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 2>up an RBI double to been attendee. They start hitting

0:35:55.000 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 2>you hard, those three guys, I mean all of them

0:35:57.480 --> 0:35:58.360
<v Speaker 2>hard hit balls.

0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:01.359
<v Speaker 4>He's got to figure out.

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 2>And Jose Modis said this earlier when he was with

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:04.479
<v Speaker 2>us in the Clubhouse Show.

0:36:05.000 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 4>It's called taking that next step.

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're pitching, well, some adversity comes, You get hit,

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you get punched. It's the one to one game. How

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 2>do you react to that punch from the Chicago White Sox?

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.319
<v Speaker 2>How do you come back and battle back after giving

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 2>up the game tying home run and now all of

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:29.200
<v Speaker 2>a sudden it's one one.

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:31.840
<v Speaker 4>The number two batter is up for the White Sox,

0:36:32.160 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 4>and that of course is Miguel Vargas.

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:38.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, you fall behind three to zero, you get it

0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:41.200
<v Speaker 2>to a three to two count before throwing a ninety

0:36:41.200 --> 0:36:44.800
<v Speaker 2>six mile an hour fastball right down the middle, and Vargas,

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:47.839
<v Speaker 2>who is clearly one of their top two players right now,

0:36:49.000 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 2>bangs it to left for a single steal. Second on,

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 2>you still a one to one game, and what happens

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to Benettende again? This is where I need imit. Shean

0:37:00.280 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to bounce back after the punch in the home run

0:37:05.040 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and attack.

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 4>You fall down in three to zero.

0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:10.360
<v Speaker 2>You give up a single to Vargas, Ben Attend he

0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:14.480
<v Speaker 2>comes up, and you fall behind two oh in the count.

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 2>You get a strike swinging on a slider out of

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>the zone, so you get him to chase, and then

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you leave a ball down the middle Ben Attend He

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 2>hits it to right for a double, and all of

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, now it's a two to one game. At times,

0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you just tip your cap to your team and you

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:32.799
<v Speaker 2>say they got the best of me. But I just

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.799
<v Speaker 2>want to see him take that next step, fight, come back,

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 2>punch out a guy, get a ground ball out, put

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 2>up a zero the rest of the way, and leave

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:43.800
<v Speaker 2>it one to one. Leave the game feeling good about

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 2>how you finished in a one to one game, and

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:50.040
<v Speaker 2>hand it over to your bullpen and your offense to

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 2>do the rest. You can't have more damage hit upon

0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:58.200
<v Speaker 2>you. You can't have a worse inning. Continue to build, and

0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 2>then if you're Jack Dryer, I mean Jack Dryer comes

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:06.279
<v Speaker 2>in runner on and gives up a home run of

0:38:06.320 --> 0:38:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the first battery he faces in Colson Montgomery, I mean

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 2>an absolute, no doubt about her on a fastball, on

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:14.280
<v Speaker 2>an OH one pitch.

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:16.520
<v Speaker 4>You've got to be better than that.

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:19.719
<v Speaker 2>You just have to or else this is gonna keep happening,

0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:23.840
<v Speaker 2>these big innings that you're posing teams are having. And again,

0:38:24.200 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 2>for the fifth time in seven games, the Dodgers have

0:38:27.200 --> 0:38:30.560
<v Speaker 2>allowed four plus runs in an inning. They lost to

0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the Angels last Sunday, giving up six runs in the seventh.

0:38:33.520 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 2>They lost to the Pirates on Wednesday in Pittsburgh, giving

0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:38.319
<v Speaker 2>up five runs in the eighth. They lost to the

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.160
<v Speaker 2>White Sox on Friday night when they gave up seven

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:43.680
<v Speaker 2>runs in the fifth inning, And they lose to the

0:38:43.719 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 2>White Sox again today giving up six runs without even

0:38:47.360 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 2>recording an out in the sixth inning, ended up losing

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 2>six to four. Just gotta be better. These big innings

0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 2>have got to stop. Gotta stop moving forward, all right,

0:38:58.160 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna do it?

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 4>Is he sneaking? Is he real quick? Is he in Anaheim?

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Is he? I want to hear it? How frustrated? Are you?

0:39:06.800 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 9>Very trustrated with the bullpen right now? I think, yeah,

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:15.600
<v Speaker 9>I'm dis frustrated, But you know what I kind of

0:39:15.960 --> 0:39:19.600
<v Speaker 9>kind of did this year so far. You know, I'm

0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:23.120
<v Speaker 9>not saying that I'm gonna make it the playoffs. They will,

0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 9>but I guess we're just gonna have to deal with

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:33.319
<v Speaker 9>the condition. They're let not forget Dave Robert hash It's

0:39:33.440 --> 0:39:36.080
<v Speaker 9>gonna be the tempest season pig In.

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're gonna be all right?

0:39:38.360 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 10>Is he?

0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:42.239

<v Speaker 2>to stop these these these big innings. And it can't

0:39:50.480 --> 0:39:53.359
<v Speaker 2>just be Alex Vessia who is the fireman to come

0:39:53.400 --> 0:39:56.319
<v Speaker 2>in and extinguish what has become a smoldering fire and

0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 2>then just a raging inferno like it was today with

0:39:59.160 --> 0:40:02.240
