<v Speaker 2>got a little momentum now is they hit the road

<v Speaker 2>for nine games. Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Dodger

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Talk on this Thursday night. Thanks for being with us

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>wherever you may be. If you're one of the fifty

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>one thousand and forty eight in attendance out of Dodger

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Stadium tonight, you stayed until the end sitting in traffic

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>around Dodger Stadium, heading on the one, ten, the five,

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>the two, back to the west side of the valley,

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>the San Gabriel Valley, the o cd ie. Wherever you're headed,

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear from you. Eight six six nine,

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the number, but you

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.320
<v Speaker 2>know it already eight six six nine, eight seven two

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 2>five seventy. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, we

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 2>certainly appreciate you as well as the Dodgers. The road

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 2>trip now begins in Anaheim tomorrow with the first of

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>three against the Angels. And before you start saying the

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Angels they're bad, the Angels are not very good. This

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>is a cakewalk of a three game series, knee. I

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 2>remind you of what happened last year to the Dodgers

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>as they face the Angels. The Angels got the best

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>of them in the season series, and the Dodgers struggled

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.279
<v Speaker 2>against them head to head during the regular season play.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 2>So it's the Angels. Yes, they're a team that is struggling, Yes,

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 2>but the Dodgers cannot take them lightly. And look ahead

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to San Diego, which I know a lot of Dodger

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>fans are already thinking about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at Petco Park,

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>and I know I'm thinking about it as well. But

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>first things, first three games against the Angels. It's gonna

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>be a fun three games with Justin Brubuski going on Saturday,

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Rookie Sasaki going on Sunday. But Blake Snell going tomorrow

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>night in his second start since coming off the injury list,

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 2>his second start here in twenty twenty six, hopefully getting

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 2>some better results than he had in his first start

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend on Saturday against the Braves. But eight

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is the

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>number if you're at the game, want your thoughts if

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>you if you watched and listen to what happened tonight,

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you saw Image Shean really I think take that next

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>step forward and Image Shean, who came out of the

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>gate really good for the Dodgers, had a great spring,

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>earned that spot in the rotation. Certainly there were certain

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>guys that revying for it, trying to get that fist

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.519
<v Speaker 2>spot in the rotation with Blake Snell hurt to start

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>the year, and Image Shean stepped up and grabbed it

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 2>and took that starting spot and certainly couple starts going

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>into tonight, there were some questions about longevity. Is he

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>meant to be in this rotation long term? Two weeks

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 2>ago we kept having this conversation here on Dodger Talk

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>about whether he will be sent down or will it

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 2>be Sasak sent down, or who would lose their spot

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>in the rotation? Would it be Justin Robleski back to

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen when Blake Snell came back. Now, I said

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 2>it here on Dodger Talk a week and a half ago.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I said, let's just wait until it's time for Blake

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Snell to come off the injured list. Because things happen

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 2>in baseball. Injuries pop up, freak things happen, and you're

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>worrying about something that is down the road. You're worrying

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>about a roster move you gotta make. You're worried about

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>how many people are on the roster and how many

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>chairs are left in the game of musical chairs, and

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be left standing. With all that being said,

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you worry, worry, worry, and it takes care of itself

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.119
<v Speaker 2>because unfortunately, an injury occurs. And that's exactly what happened

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>with the case of Tyler Glass now and the soil

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Laura back and the spasms. He goes on the injured list,

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>and all that talk about was Suzak, is it Robleski?

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Is it gonna be you know, Ima shean who's gonna

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 2>be an odd man out of the rotation. Well, we're

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 2>not having that conversation right now. But even though we're

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>not having that conversation, you started to wonder about image Shean.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>The velocity was down, you saw a little bit of

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>lack of control last time out. Pitch better against the

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves, but got a no decision for it, just

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't get the run support in the Dodgers lost last week. Well,

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 2>you saw tonight Imagean come out and pitch really well

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>six strong innings, gave up two hits. He gave up

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>two runs on a two run inside the park home

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 2>run down the left field line. Now, let's just stop

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.599
<v Speaker 2>right there. What was the last time you went to

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a baseball game and saw inside the park home run.

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go ahead and be honest with you. I've

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>never been to a game that that's actually happened. That

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>would be a first for me. If I were at

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 2>a Major League baseball game and an inside the park

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>home run occurred. It's just so rare. You just don't

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>see it. And we told you about the last time

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers had it happened to them, the last time

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers did it themselves, and the last time, of

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>course it happened to Dodger Stadium, and in this Dodger rivalry

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>thinks to the great Dray McDonald with all that inside

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 2>information about the inside the park home runs. You know,

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.559
<v Speaker 2>the last inside the park home run by an opponent

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium, Nick Ahmed twenty eighteen. Last Giant with the

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>inside the park home run against the Dodgers. Larry Herndon

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>bet did it back in nineteen eighty one at Candlestick

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Park off of Fernando Valenzuela. The last inside the park

0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>home run against the Dodgers in general happened at Chase

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Field two years ago with Corpy and Carrol, So it

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't happen too often. And if you saw it tonight,

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 2>you saw something pretty rare, and that is an inside

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>the park home run, all right. With that being said,

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>soft contact, that's what image sheet and gave up tonight

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.119
<v Speaker 2>on two hits, that was it. One of them turned

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 2>into it to run inside the park home run. But

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't his faults. Hernandas didn't play that ball greatly

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>down the left field line, pulled up thinking it's gonna

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.239
<v Speaker 2>go foul and bounce out of you know, out of play,

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and we'll reset the count. Well, it landed fair and

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the way the spin on the ball was again it

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>was an inside out job from Junghu Lee. It drops in,

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the spin of the ball gets past Teoscar Hernandez who

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 2>then has to go down the left field line and

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>get it. And by the time he gets to it

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.960
<v Speaker 2>and throws into Miguel Rojas, the throw then home was

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 2>high to dult rushing And by the way, if that's

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>a that's a bang bang throw to home and it's

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:41.119
<v Speaker 2>a good throw and adult rushing makes the tag. Lee's out.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's out by He's out by five to

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.279
<v Speaker 2>ten feet, but as it is, the throw is high.

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Lee slides in and to runs score on the play,

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 2>but the damage was minimal. To image. Shean tonight for

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the job he did on the mound, and I thought

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.839
<v Speaker 2>he really looked good. We told you in the clubhouse

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.799
<v Speaker 2>show what he was able to as far as getting

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>ahead of hitters. Twenty to twenty three batters he faced

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>first pitch strikes, he had eleven two counts, seven whiffs

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 2>on fourteen swings at the slider. That is a good

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>night on the mound. Attacking the strike zone first pitch

0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 2>strikes fastball ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven for six innings.

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>He had a slider with bite on it. Tonight he

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>had a changeup that was nasty. If you're pumping in

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>strikes at ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven and then

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the slider has got it about an eighty seven eighty eight,

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>and the changeup has also got a different look to it,

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and you're throwing them from strikes and getting swing and missus,

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be a good night. And that's exactly what

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Im and Sheen did. And I hope he can build

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>on that because I felt his last start was good.

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>He was even better tonight. And if he can keep

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>the velocity and keep the pounding of the strike zone,

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>especially on first pitch strikes, he's gonna put himself in

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.119
<v Speaker 2>a good spot now. At all is predicated by getting

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 2>run supporting. The Dodgers just haven't been doing, especially with

0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 2>runners in scoring position. They were just not good this

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>homestand things flipped for the Dodgers tonight in a big way.

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean we're talking maybe about a no decision and

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>then a Dodgers loss. If the Dodgers would two out

0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.239
<v Speaker 2>and runners on second and third, don't get a clutch

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>two run single from Alex call and then a you know,

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 2>two run single or an RBI single for Miguel Rojas

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>that he got off the handle but just you know,

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 2>gets enough of it to shoot it into center field

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>for an RBI single. We're talking about a different game.

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 2>But finally they delivered, the ball finds some green grass

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 2>in the outfield, goes the Dodgers' way, and they score

0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>three runs in the sixth inning, and we're talking about

0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 2>a Dodgers win. On top of all that, the Dodgers' bullpen, Okay,

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 2>a couple of hiccups here and there over the course

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of the first I don't know what forty four games

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of the season, thirty four to forty four games, But

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, this Dodgers' bullpen has been fantastic.

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vessi had came back tonight with a really good

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning, had velocity and some bite on his pitches.

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>And Guardo had Riquez was hitting one hundred and one

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.560

<v Speaker 2>Scott that signed that four year deal a year ago

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 2>and Dodger fans were so excited about what he did

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four. Ooh, he was gonna be lights

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 2>out in twenty fty twenty. Now he wasn't lights out

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty five, and we saw a different Tanner

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Scott who struggled and struggled and struggled and could not

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>overcome it and comes back in twenty twenty six, wipes

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>the slate clean, said he was clean as far as

<v Speaker 2>you know, mentally and physically ready to go in twenty

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty six and putting everything from twenty twenty five behind him,

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 2>and folks, that's exactly what he has done. Tanner Scott

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.199
<v Speaker 2>tonight looked really good coming out of the bullpit of

0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the ninth inning, struck out two of the three batters

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 2>that he faced, and he has picked up his third

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.559
<v Speaker 2>save of the season. And tonight one of those games

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.600

<v Speaker 2>get out to the phone though, Uh Luca in Eagle Rock. Luca,

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.319
<v Speaker 2>welcome to Dodger Talk here on a five seventy l

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>A Sports. Hi you doing, Luca.

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 3>How's it going.

0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing well.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.200
<v Speaker 4>As a long drive back from the Dodgery game, but

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 4>it was it was a good night. I want to

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 4>talk about I Michian and Will Smith setting the tone.

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 4>It's not an easy thing to do if you're I

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:27.319
<v Speaker 4>Machian to go out there, two of the best hitters

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.200
<v Speaker 4>in baseball taking the day off. You're trying not to

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 4>lose the series, and to go out there and get

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 4>a scoreless first frame. That's hard enough to do. But

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 4>shout out to Will Smith, first ever time leading off,

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 4>I believe, And to start the game off like that,

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.840
<v Speaker 4>I think we've been playing from behind way too often

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 4>as of late. Not easy to go out there in

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 4>leadoff for the first time and do what he did,

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 4>get us on the board early and it was a

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 4>great game from there.

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 2>How about how about a little cosa bianca so an

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Eagle Rock.

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 4>You know at it's a good way to cap it off.

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 4>It's it's La one. I gotta go to I gotta

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 4>get ready for tomorrow, all right, but great, great game.

<v Speaker 4>Thanks for taking the call here, don.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, appreciate it. There's Luca and Eagle Rock. Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>just give me a little cosabiaka shoutout. See if he

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>would bite there and then talk about what a great

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>pizza spot. It is great Italian food out there in

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Eagle Rock. But okay, you know it's a late night.

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:20.839
<v Speaker 2>He's got to get to bed. It was a long

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 2>game tonight. Fifty one thousand enjoyed it though out of

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium on Star Wars night as they got the

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Grogu bobblehead that they were giving away to all the

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>fans and attendance for the first forty thousand, i should say,

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 2>in attendance out of Dodger Stadium tonight, and they saw

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a good one of five to two win over the Giants.

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>As the Dodgers pick up their twenty six winner this season,

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and as we speak, going into play tomorrow in Anaheim,

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers will have a half game lead in the

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 2>NL West. Let's go to Eddie. Eddie now joins us

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 2>from Palace Verde.

<v Speaker 3>How you doing, Eddie, I'm doing good. I'm doing good.

<v Speaker 3>Dodgers win so I'm happy.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>No doubt about it. How about Image she and tonight

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 2>this offense without Mookie Betts and without show Heyo Tani

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 2>still delivered and getting the win.

<v Speaker 3>and she and get the win. And he's he's been

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 3>doing good. I was trying to think of, did he

<v Speaker 3>make the All Star team last year?

0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:23.199
<v Speaker 2>No? No, he was coming back from Tommy John surgery. Uh,

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 2>missed the first you know, six to eight weeks of

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the season coming back, missed all the twenty twenty four

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>did Image she and but came back last year and

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.920
<v Speaker 2>started to ramp back up as a starter and kind

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 2>of did everything for the Dodgers last year, pitching as

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the bulkeeting guy as well.

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I might must be mistaken, but anyway, Yeah, No,

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.920

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:47.440

<v Speaker 3>Dodger fans, and we love Alex called that we'd like

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 3>to see when he comes up and the crucial times

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 3>where they the Roberts has used him, you know, the

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 3>pinch hit.

0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he knows his role, Eddie, and I think he's

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>adapted to that. And I appreciate the phone call. Love

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 2>checking in and talking Dodger baseball with you. He knows

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 2>his role. He'll get starts every couple of games, but

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, he is a pinch hitter late

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>in the game. He is a guy who's gonna come

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 2>off the bench in whatever capacity Dave Roberts is going

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 2>to need him during a game, whether it's defensively as

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a pinch runner, to come in as a pinch hitter,

0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and tonight with two outs and runners on, he comes

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 2>in delivers with the hit down the right field line

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>to drive in two and proved to be the big

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.840
<v Speaker 2>hit for the Dodgers what they needed to bust through

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 2>a two to two tie, take the lead. They score

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 2>three runs in the inning, and they go on and

0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 2>win it by a final of five to two eight

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.959

<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, Dodgers book in this home stand, a'll

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 2>win against the Brave Last Friday, they come back with

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 2>back to back wins here against the Giants to wrap

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 2>things up. Last night, we saw the great pitching performance

0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 2>for show. Hey o Tani, but tonight two soft contact

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 2>hits given up by imag she and I love the

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 2>way he was attacking the strikes down. He was pounding

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>strikes early, getting ahead and oh one quickly. I mean

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 2>he really was out there pitching with intensity.

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 5>He used the intensity. Also, he's to me a very

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 5>good effective mix on getting the first pitch it out

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 5>over the zone nine times of the fast, one time

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 5>with a curb of nine times with the slider, and

0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 5>three terms with the tinge of so he and his

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 5>answers you know in the previous show. It is very

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 5>impressive to hearing what he said about watching a team

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 5>three times before he pitches right. Even though there are

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 5>different pictures, guys take a different approach after three games,

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 5>but that's paying attention to the details. And it seems

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 5>to me like his slider was actually better when he

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.840
<v Speaker 5>tried to make it less efficient, need less break, just

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 5>going out to let it roll up with his hands,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 5>just playing catch the bellot the rushing again, a very

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 5>good job. But it's good to see him at number

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 5>one get pass the first thingning first inning tram has

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 5>been pretty much a big problem. I mean, first inning

0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 5>rate ten point two nine. You want to get rid

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.879
<v Speaker 5>of that. I'm like, he pass up first steps and

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 5>then with two strikes has been a little bit issue too.

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 5>Getting to two strikes is not a problem. But today

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 5>was the best I've seen him because with two strikes

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 5>his average against his two twenty fives way over, like

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.919
<v Speaker 5>fifty five points over the league average. And it was

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 5>fun to see that when he trailed it too hard,

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 5>rushing be goun to sload him down, just like I

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.159
<v Speaker 5>can get to rushing over the doug like, hey man,

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 5>I need you to just your head a little bit.

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because we saw

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of emotion tonight from Dalton Rushing breaking a

0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 2>bat to the frustration at the plate. Dalton Rushing was

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 2>zero for three with three strikeouts and a walk in.

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing oh for three with runners in scoring positions.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 2>So he came up with guys out there, you know,

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 2>able to try to drive him in and he couldn't

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 2>do it. And you can see the frustration and you

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>can hear him yelling. Some of the Dodger players are

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 2>kind of chuckling when he put the glove over his

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 2>mouth and started yelling at himself and frustration. But is

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>that just a young player frustrated and showing that emotions.

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:14.439
<v Speaker 2>That's something he's got a bottle up.

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:19.159
<v Speaker 5>Moving forward, he'll learn the time. But there's some things

0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:20.760
<v Speaker 5>you don't want to take away from a player when

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 5>it comes to intensity. Now, you don't want to be

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 5>a problem or loses to your teammates, or attract too

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 5>much attention from the other teams by things that happened

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.960
<v Speaker 5>to have nothing to do with the game. But don't

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.159
<v Speaker 5>take away intensity. I mean, there's been crazy guys that

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 5>have played this game have been really good at Hall

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 5>of Famers, but to do it under control. They know

0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 5>when when not to. They always have a good teamates

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:42.919
<v Speaker 5>to go. You know what, now not the time you

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 5>might have taken your offer four, but you know what,

0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 5>the team won. But for doubts and runner and the

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.400
<v Speaker 5>young catcher. Remember you're involved with every single pitch, responsible

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.880
<v Speaker 5>for the homework and keeping guys calm, understanding what situation

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 5>you're coming in or they're coming into. It's a big

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 5>step today to know that he was so first over

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 5>with the offensive. I just you know he's been scuffling

0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 5>with the bat. Will mean Upia to get a run

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 5>the board, but behind the plate no effect whatsoever. It's

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 5>a big important thing for young players players to separate

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 5>one thing from the other, and so far Russia has

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 5>done a very good job without this season.

0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, Jose I had a friend text me and

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>he said, why is show, Hey, Mookie not in the

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 2>lineup tonight? Why do they need a night off? And

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I tried to text back and explain to him that

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>they needed to get off their feet that you know,

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.679
<v Speaker 2>even though they have an off day next Thursday, you know,

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:32.520
<v Speaker 2>they got to get some rest. They just got to

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 2>mentally just throttle down for a night and not think

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 2>about the grind and just sit on the bench and

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.119
<v Speaker 2>chew seeds for nine inning. How important was it to

0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 2>get those guys off their feet for showing in particular,

0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 2>just to get a complete night off.

0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Listen, man, he's going through this season. He has not

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 5>gone through in a couple of years. He is a

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:59.000
<v Speaker 5>little older, he's stronger, There's way more in terms of

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 5>what he knows he can do the offensive side. But

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 5>he will never admit the show does not win an

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.639
<v Speaker 5>off date. But the Dodgers knew coming into whether their

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.040
<v Speaker 5>faithwait shown and the very unique player you were going

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 5>to have to guarding him himself and understand that you decide.

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 5>He's involved in decisions, as Dave Roberts said today, and

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.359
<v Speaker 5>he understands way more of what they're doing. The planning

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 5>is not about going out there and you know the

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 5>cy Young talk that's great by about the Wall club

0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 5>to win and all the stuff. Rewards will come the

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.400
<v Speaker 5>byproduct of what you do. But for those guys is important.

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.320
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the mental grind is important. Remember that you know,

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 5>originally Mokis was going to be playing of the first

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 5>two games and then verse one. Well, they had a

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 5>conversations like, you know what, I'll play three. I feel

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 5>good enough. It paid off, might have and today it's

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 5>gonna happens to him. Though, when when guys that caliber

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.200
<v Speaker 5>take off days, is that the team wins and they

0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.440
<v Speaker 5>feel even better about the fact that, you know, there's

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:53.159
<v Speaker 5>no talking about how kind he does that was a

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 5>use and why now I want today? So it's a

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:57.600
<v Speaker 5>good thing that the team has go out there and

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 5>pick him up. Is that they pick up Mooki when

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 5>he was out for the long sim.

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt about it. If they can get the

0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:04.640
<v Speaker 2>win like they did tonight. Without two of their big

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 2>guys in the lineup, it is certainly a good night

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. Well, Jose, David's gonna be on TV

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of days, so you're gonna be stuck

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 2>with me, my man for postgame during this series against

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the Angels. So we'll talk some baseball the next couple

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:17.359
<v Speaker 2>of days.

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 5>Let's do that big a tomorrow on this weekend. So

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 5>the Mighty Angels I talked about, you know, they they

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 5>actually were a little wakeup cop Dale last this time.

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, let's go make that stuff on him.

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 2>That's right, absolutely, Jose will talk to you tomorrow night.

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Safe travels, Okay, thank you? All right, there he goes,

0:21:34.760 --> 0:21:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota joining us here on Dodger Talk to Dodgers

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Baseball brought to by Medello Medello the mark of a fighter.

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>And tonight the Dodgers had to go into that ring,

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, without Mookie Betts and without show Hey Otani,

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:50.960
<v Speaker 2>both of the night off. The Dodgers' lineup looked a

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.840
<v Speaker 2>little different. Will Smith batting lead off? You heard me right,

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith batting the lead off, had that leadoff home

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 2>running the first inning as a designated hitter on base

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 2>twice with the walk included. Quiet night for Freddie Freeman

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and Kyle Tucker a combined oh for eight with two strikeouts.

0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 2>You throw on Andy Pajez, who was zero for three.

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers two three four hitters were a combined zero

0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 2>for eleven with two strikeouts and a walk. At the

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the lineup though, delivered to Oscar Hernandez three

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 2>for four, including a couple of doubles. I Sung Kim

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>had a run driven in. Alice Call came in and

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>had a base hit as well. Miguel Rojas two for

0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:27.879
<v Speaker 2>three with an RBI. So the bottom of the lineup

0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 2>with Kim Colin Rojas four hits, four RBIs ta, Oscar

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez three for four as well as the Dodgers get

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>the win five to two over the San Francisco Giants,

0:22:39.160 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 2>who leave town and the Dodgers now also leaving town

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:44.800
<v Speaker 2>for a nine game road trip three and Anaheim over

0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. Three in San Diego next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:50.960
<v Speaker 2>and then a day off before three game series next

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 2>weekend in Millwaukee. Well, he told you about Tyler Glass

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 2>now and Dave Roberts before the game, gave an update

0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 2>on the Dodger right hander, who is eligible to come

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>off the injured list next weekend, but Dave Roberts telling

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.479
<v Speaker 2>the media before the game that at this point it

0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 2>does not look like Tyler Glass now it's going to

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.200
<v Speaker 2>be ready by then when that first day to come

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:16.399
<v Speaker 2>off the il comes up. He's been playing catch. David

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Vassa and I talked about it on Dodgers on Deck yesterday.

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 2>He was out throwing off flat ground and left field

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>before the game. He's playing catch, but he's not thrown

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:29.639
<v Speaker 2>off a mound yet, and with backspasms, the last thing

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to do is rush him back. I mean,

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 2>what is an extra couple of days when you think

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 2>about the entire season and how long it is. Same

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.679
<v Speaker 2>with Mookie Betts and the oblique. Why rush back if

0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 2>you're feeling eighty five percent. When it's a six month

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 2>baseball season, it's a grind of one hundred and sixty

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 2>two games. Let's get one hundred percent If not feel

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>really good to come back off an injured list. And

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>if you're Tyler Glass, now, no need to rush back.

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 2>So it sounds like they're taking their time with Tyler

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Glass now and Dave Roberts saying that there's a good

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 2>chance he won't be ready to come off the injured

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:02.440
<v Speaker 2>list when his time is eligible to come up. Next

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 2>weekend when the Dodgers are in Milwaukee, celebrate ninety years

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.959
<v Speaker 2>of racing at Santa Anita Park every Friday through Sunday

0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:10.240

<v Speaker 2>Anita dot com slash e events again. Dodgers back at

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it tomorrow against the Angels. Blake Snell will make his

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 2>second start of the season since coming off the Angeles.

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Jack Kohanowitz will go for the Angels, Justin Robletski coming

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.200
<v Speaker 2>off the start the other night. We'll go on Saturday

0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 2>against Jose Soriano, who has been fantastic. Suffered his first

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 2>loss recently for the Angels but has been arguably one

0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.840
<v Speaker 2>of the best pitchers in baseball the first month and

0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.639
<v Speaker 2>a half of the season. Then Roki Sasaki scheduled to

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:46.520

<v Speaker 2>game series, and then the Dodgers will head even further

0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>south down the five Freeway past Camp Pendleton and into

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:55.920
<v Speaker 2>San Diego at Petco Park next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:59.360
<v Speaker 2>against the Padres and what should be a thrilling three

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 2>game series where we could see some separation in the standings.

0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Either way, Dodgers take care of business, could put some

0:25:06.880 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 2>distance between them and the Padres depending on what happens

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>in Anaheim this weekend. So it's certainly gonna be a

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 2>fun week of baseball coming up as the Dodgers hit

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.080
