Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begun.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth fifth.
Speaker 1: This is world Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Here we go again.
Speaker 1: We get ready running back to get in on the
Speaker 1: show called eight six six eighty seven, two five seven,
Speaker 1: and be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch
Speaker 1: short podcasts. And now your host here's Tim Kakes.
Speaker 2: Well Dodgers in this homestand on a winning note and
Speaker 2: got a little momentum now is they hit the road
Speaker 2: for nine games. Hi, everybody, and welcome in to Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk on this Thursday night. Thanks for being with us
Speaker 2: wherever you may be. If you're one of the fifty
Speaker 2: one thousand and forty eight in attendance out of Dodger
Speaker 2: Stadium tonight, you stayed until the end sitting in traffic
Speaker 2: around Dodger Stadium, heading on the one, ten, the five,
Speaker 2: the two, back to the west side of the valley,
Speaker 2: the San Gabriel Valley, the o cd ie. Wherever you're headed,
Speaker 2: I want to hear from you. Eight six six nine,
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the number, but you
Speaker 2: know it already eight six six nine, eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy. If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, we
Speaker 2: certainly appreciate you as well as the Dodgers. The road
Speaker 2: trip now begins in Anaheim tomorrow with the first of
Speaker 2: three against the Angels. And before you start saying the
Speaker 2: Angels they're bad, the Angels are not very good. This
Speaker 2: is a cakewalk of a three game series, knee. I
Speaker 2: remind you of what happened last year to the Dodgers
Speaker 2: as they face the Angels. The Angels got the best
Speaker 2: of them in the season series, and the Dodgers struggled
Speaker 2: against them head to head during the regular season play.
Speaker 2: So it's the Angels. Yes, they're a team that is struggling, Yes,
Speaker 2: but the Dodgers cannot take them lightly. And look ahead
Speaker 2: to San Diego, which I know a lot of Dodger
Speaker 2: fans are already thinking about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at Petco Park,
Speaker 2: and I know I'm thinking about it as well. But
Speaker 2: first things, first three games against the Angels. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a fun three games with Justin Brubuski going on Saturday,
Speaker 2: Rookie Sasaki going on Sunday. But Blake Snell going tomorrow
Speaker 2: night in his second start since coming off the injury list,
Speaker 2: his second start here in twenty twenty six, hopefully getting
Speaker 2: some better results than he had in his first start
Speaker 2: over the weekend on Saturday against the Braves. But eight
Speaker 2: six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: number if you're at the game, want your thoughts if
Speaker 2: you if you watched and listen to what happened tonight,
Speaker 2: you saw Image Shean really I think take that next
Speaker 2: step forward and Image Shean, who came out of the
Speaker 2: gate really good for the Dodgers, had a great spring,
Speaker 2: earned that spot in the rotation. Certainly there were certain
Speaker 2: guys that revying for it, trying to get that fist
Speaker 2: spot in the rotation with Blake Snell hurt to start
Speaker 2: the year, and Image Shean stepped up and grabbed it
Speaker 2: and took that starting spot and certainly couple starts going
Speaker 2: into tonight, there were some questions about longevity. Is he
Speaker 2: meant to be in this rotation long term? Two weeks
Speaker 2: ago we kept having this conversation here on Dodger Talk
Speaker 2: about whether he will be sent down or will it
Speaker 2: be Sasak sent down, or who would lose their spot
Speaker 2: in the rotation? Would it be Justin Robleski back to
Speaker 2: the bullpen when Blake Snell came back. Now, I said
Speaker 2: it here on Dodger Talk a week and a half ago.
Speaker 2: I said, let's just wait until it's time for Blake
Speaker 2: Snell to come off the injured list. Because things happen
Speaker 2: in baseball. Injuries pop up, freak things happen, and you're
Speaker 2: worrying about something that is down the road. You're worrying
Speaker 2: about a roster move you gotta make. You're worried about
Speaker 2: how many people are on the roster and how many
Speaker 2: chairs are left in the game of musical chairs, and
Speaker 2: who's going to be left standing. With all that being said,
Speaker 2: you worry, worry, worry, and it takes care of itself
Speaker 2: because unfortunately, an injury occurs. And that's exactly what happened
Speaker 2: with the case of Tyler Glass now and the soil
Speaker 2: Laura back and the spasms. He goes on the injured list,
Speaker 2: and all that talk about was Suzak, is it Robleski?
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be you know, Ima shean who's gonna
Speaker 2: be an odd man out of the rotation. Well, we're
Speaker 2: not having that conversation right now. But even though we're
Speaker 2: not having that conversation, you started to wonder about image Shean.
Speaker 2: The velocity was down, you saw a little bit of
Speaker 2: lack of control last time out. Pitch better against the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves, but got a no decision for it, just
Speaker 2: didn't get the run support in the Dodgers lost last week. Well,
Speaker 2: you saw tonight Imagean come out and pitch really well
Speaker 2: six strong innings, gave up two hits. He gave up
Speaker 2: two runs on a two run inside the park home
Speaker 2: run down the left field line. Now, let's just stop
Speaker 2: right there. What was the last time you went to
Speaker 2: a baseball game and saw inside the park home run.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and be honest with you. I've
Speaker 2: never been to a game that that's actually happened. That
Speaker 2: would be a first for me. If I were at
Speaker 2: a Major League baseball game and an inside the park
Speaker 2: home run occurred. It's just so rare. You just don't
Speaker 2: see it. And we told you about the last time
Speaker 2: the Dodgers had it happened to them, the last time
Speaker 2: the Dodgers did it themselves, and the last time, of
Speaker 2: course it happened to Dodger Stadium, and in this Dodger rivalry
Speaker 2: thinks to the great Dray McDonald with all that inside
Speaker 2: information about the inside the park home runs. You know,
Speaker 2: the last inside the park home run by an opponent
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium, Nick Ahmed twenty eighteen. Last Giant with the
Speaker 2: inside the park home run against the Dodgers. Larry Herndon
Speaker 2: bet did it back in nineteen eighty one at Candlestick
Speaker 2: Park off of Fernando Valenzuela. The last inside the park
Speaker 2: home run against the Dodgers in general happened at Chase
Speaker 2: Field two years ago with Corpy and Carrol, So it
Speaker 2: doesn't happen too often. And if you saw it tonight,
Speaker 2: you saw something pretty rare, and that is an inside
Speaker 2: the park home run, all right. With that being said,
Speaker 2: soft contact, that's what image sheet and gave up tonight
Speaker 2: on two hits, that was it. One of them turned
Speaker 2: into it to run inside the park home run. But
Speaker 2: it wasn't his faults. Hernandas didn't play that ball greatly
Speaker 2: down the left field line, pulled up thinking it's gonna
Speaker 2: go foul and bounce out of you know, out of play,
Speaker 2: and we'll reset the count. Well, it landed fair and
Speaker 2: the way the spin on the ball was again it
Speaker 2: was an inside out job from Junghu Lee. It drops in,
Speaker 2: the spin of the ball gets past Teoscar Hernandez who
Speaker 2: then has to go down the left field line and
Speaker 2: get it. And by the time he gets to it
Speaker 2: and throws into Miguel Rojas, the throw then home was
Speaker 2: high to dult rushing And by the way, if that's
Speaker 2: a that's a bang bang throw to home and it's
Speaker 2: a good throw and adult rushing makes the tag. Lee's out.
Speaker 2: I mean he's out by He's out by five to
Speaker 2: ten feet, but as it is, the throw is high.
Speaker 2: Lee slides in and to runs score on the play,
Speaker 2: but the damage was minimal. To image. Shean tonight for
Speaker 2: the job he did on the mound, and I thought
Speaker 2: he really looked good. We told you in the clubhouse
Speaker 2: show what he was able to as far as getting
Speaker 2: ahead of hitters. Twenty to twenty three batters he faced
Speaker 2: first pitch strikes, he had eleven two counts, seven whiffs
Speaker 2: on fourteen swings at the slider. That is a good
Speaker 2: night on the mound. Attacking the strike zone first pitch
Speaker 2: strikes fastball ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven for six innings.
Speaker 2: He had a slider with bite on it. Tonight he
Speaker 2: had a changeup that was nasty. If you're pumping in
Speaker 2: strikes at ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven and then
Speaker 2: the slider has got it about an eighty seven eighty eight,
Speaker 2: and the changeup has also got a different look to it,
Speaker 2: and you're throwing them from strikes and getting swing and missus,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a good night. And that's exactly what
Speaker 2: Im and Sheen did. And I hope he can build
Speaker 2: on that because I felt his last start was good.
Speaker 2: He was even better tonight. And if he can keep
Speaker 2: the velocity and keep the pounding of the strike zone,
Speaker 2: especially on first pitch strikes, he's gonna put himself in
Speaker 2: a good spot now. At all is predicated by getting
Speaker 2: run supporting. The Dodgers just haven't been doing, especially with
Speaker 2: runners in scoring position. They were just not good this
Speaker 2: homestand things flipped for the Dodgers tonight in a big way.
Speaker 2: I mean we're talking maybe about a no decision and
Speaker 2: then a Dodgers loss. If the Dodgers would two out
Speaker 2: and runners on second and third, don't get a clutch
Speaker 2: two run single from Alex call and then a you know,
Speaker 2: two run single or an RBI single for Miguel Rojas
Speaker 2: that he got off the handle but just you know,
Speaker 2: gets enough of it to shoot it into center field
Speaker 2: for an RBI single. We're talking about a different game.
Speaker 2: But finally they delivered, the ball finds some green grass
Speaker 2: in the outfield, goes the Dodgers' way, and they score
Speaker 2: three runs in the sixth inning, and we're talking about
Speaker 2: a Dodgers win. On top of all that, the Dodgers' bullpen, Okay,
Speaker 2: a couple of hiccups here and there over the course
Speaker 2: of the first I don't know what forty four games
Speaker 2: of the season, thirty four to forty four games, But
Speaker 2: for the most part, this Dodgers' bullpen has been fantastic.
Speaker 2: Alex Vessi had came back tonight with a really good
Speaker 2: eighth inning, had velocity and some bite on his pitches.
Speaker 2: And Guardo had Riquez was hitting one hundred and one
Speaker 2: miles an hour tonight in his one, two, three seven,
Speaker 2: And Tanner Scott, boy, boy, if this is the Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott we've been waiting for, right this is the Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott that signed that four year deal a year ago
Speaker 2: and Dodger fans were so excited about what he did
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. Ooh, he was gonna be lights
Speaker 2: out in twenty fty twenty. Now he wasn't lights out
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, and we saw a different Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott who struggled and struggled and struggled and could not
Speaker 2: overcome it and comes back in twenty twenty six, wipes
Speaker 2: the slate clean, said he was clean as far as
Speaker 2: you know, mentally and physically ready to go in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six and putting everything from twenty twenty five behind him,
Speaker 2: and folks, that's exactly what he has done. Tanner Scott
Speaker 2: tonight looked really good coming out of the bullpit of
Speaker 2: the ninth inning, struck out two of the three batters
Speaker 2: that he faced, and he has picked up his third
Speaker 2: save of the season. And tonight one of those games
Speaker 2: in which you think, yeah, this is how it should
Speaker 2: look eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventies,
Speaker 2: number eight sixty six, nine eighty seven, seventy. Jose Mota
Speaker 2: is gonna join us in a couple of minutes let's
Speaker 2: get out to the phone though, Uh Luca in Eagle Rock. Luca,
Speaker 2: welcome to Dodger Talk here on a five seventy l
Speaker 2: A Sports. Hi you doing, Luca.
Speaker 3: How's it going.
Speaker 2: I'm doing well.
Speaker 4: As a long drive back from the Dodgery game, but
Speaker 4: it was it was a good night. I want to
Speaker 4: talk about I Michian and Will Smith setting the tone.
Speaker 4: It's not an easy thing to do if you're I
Speaker 4: Machian to go out there, two of the best hitters
Speaker 4: in baseball taking the day off. You're trying not to
Speaker 4: lose the series, and to go out there and get
Speaker 4: a scoreless first frame. That's hard enough to do. But
Speaker 4: shout out to Will Smith, first ever time leading off,
Speaker 4: I believe, And to start the game off like that,
Speaker 4: I think we've been playing from behind way too often
Speaker 4: as of late. Not easy to go out there in
Speaker 4: leadoff for the first time and do what he did,
Speaker 4: get us on the board early and it was a
Speaker 4: great game from there.
Speaker 2: How about how about a little cosa bianca so an
Speaker 2: Eagle Rock.
Speaker 4: You know at it's a good way to cap it off.
Speaker 4: It's it's La one. I gotta go to I gotta
Speaker 4: get ready for tomorrow, all right, but great, great game.
Speaker 4: Thanks for taking the call here, don.
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate it. There's Luca and Eagle Rock. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just give me a little cosabiaka shoutout. See if he
Speaker 2: would bite there and then talk about what a great
Speaker 2: pizza spot. It is great Italian food out there in
Speaker 2: Eagle Rock. But okay, you know it's a late night.
Speaker 2: He's got to get to bed. It was a long
Speaker 2: game tonight. Fifty one thousand enjoyed it though out of
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium on Star Wars night as they got the
Speaker 2: Grogu bobblehead that they were giving away to all the
Speaker 2: fans and attendance for the first forty thousand, i should say,
Speaker 2: in attendance out of Dodger Stadium tonight, and they saw
Speaker 2: a good one of five to two win over the Giants.
Speaker 2: As the Dodgers pick up their twenty six winner this season,
Speaker 2: and as we speak, going into play tomorrow in Anaheim,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will have a half game lead in the
Speaker 2: NL West. Let's go to Eddie. Eddie now joins us
Speaker 2: from Palace Verde.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Eddie, I'm doing good. I'm doing good.
Speaker 3: Dodgers win so I'm happy.
Speaker 2: No doubt about it. How about Image she and tonight
Speaker 2: this offense without Mookie Betts and without show Heyo Tani
Speaker 2: still delivered and getting the win.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's good that the c she
Speaker 3: and she and get the win. And he's he's been
Speaker 3: doing good. I was trying to think of, did he
Speaker 3: make the All Star team last year?
Speaker 2: No? No, he was coming back from Tommy John surgery. Uh,
Speaker 2: missed the first you know, six to eight weeks of
Speaker 2: the season coming back, missed all the twenty twenty four
Speaker 2: did Image she and but came back last year and
Speaker 2: started to ramp back up as a starter and kind
Speaker 2: of did everything for the Dodgers last year, pitching as
Speaker 2: the bulkeeting guy as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, I might must be mistaken, but anyway, Yeah, No,
Speaker 3: he had a great game and he's been been having
Speaker 3: good games. Uh and today uh uh you know, uh
Speaker 3: the Oscar Yeah, came in and and the revived himself
Speaker 3: getting that double three doubles today tonight and uh Alex Cale,
Speaker 3: I you know, we had We don't talk enough about him,
Speaker 3: you know, we me and my wife love a big
Speaker 3: Dodger fans, and we love Alex called that we'd like
Speaker 3: to see when he comes up and the crucial times
Speaker 3: where they the Roberts has used him, you know, the
Speaker 3: pinch hit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he knows his role, Eddie, and I think he's
Speaker 2: adapted to that. And I appreciate the phone call. Love
Speaker 2: checking in and talking Dodger baseball with you. He knows
Speaker 2: his role. He'll get starts every couple of games, but
Speaker 2: for the most part, he is a pinch hitter late
Speaker 2: in the game. He is a guy who's gonna come
Speaker 2: off the bench in whatever capacity Dave Roberts is going
Speaker 2: to need him during a game, whether it's defensively as
Speaker 2: a pinch runner, to come in as a pinch hitter,
Speaker 2: and tonight with two outs and runners on, he comes
Speaker 2: in delivers with the hit down the right field line
Speaker 2: to drive in two and proved to be the big
Speaker 2: hit for the Dodgers what they needed to bust through
Speaker 2: a two to two tie, take the lead. They score
Speaker 2: three runs in the inning, and they go on and
Speaker 2: win it by a final of five to two eight
Speaker 2: sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy. As the

Speaker 2: All right, Jose, Dodgers book in this home stand, a'll
Speaker 2: win against the Brave Last Friday, they come back with
Speaker 2: back to back wins here against the Giants to wrap
Speaker 2: things up. Last night, we saw the great pitching performance
Speaker 2: for show. Hey o Tani, but tonight two soft contact
Speaker 2: hits given up by imag she and I love the
Speaker 2: way he was attacking the strikes down. He was pounding
Speaker 2: strikes early, getting ahead and oh one quickly. I mean
Speaker 2: he really was out there pitching with intensity.
Speaker 5: He used the intensity. Also, he's to me a very
Speaker 5: good effective mix on getting the first pitch it out
Speaker 5: over the zone nine times of the fast, one time
Speaker 5: with a curb of nine times with the slider, and
Speaker 5: three terms with the tinge of so he and his
Speaker 5: answers you know in the previous show. It is very
Speaker 5: impressive to hearing what he said about watching a team
Speaker 5: three times before he pitches right. Even though there are
Speaker 5: different pictures, guys take a different approach after three games,
Speaker 5: but that's paying attention to the details. And it seems
Speaker 5: to me like his slider was actually better when he
Speaker 5: tried to make it less efficient, need less break, just
Speaker 5: going out to let it roll up with his hands,
Speaker 5: just playing catch the bellot the rushing again, a very
Speaker 5: good job. But it's good to see him at number
Speaker 5: one get pass the first thingning first inning tram has
Speaker 5: been pretty much a big problem. I mean, first inning
Speaker 5: rate ten point two nine. You want to get rid
Speaker 5: of that. I'm like, he pass up first steps and
Speaker 5: then with two strikes has been a little bit issue too.
Speaker 5: Getting to two strikes is not a problem. But today
Speaker 5: was the best I've seen him because with two strikes
Speaker 5: his average against his two twenty fives way over, like
Speaker 5: fifty five points over the league average. And it was
Speaker 5: fun to see that when he trailed it too hard,
Speaker 5: rushing be goun to sload him down, just like I
Speaker 5: can get to rushing over the doug like, hey man,
Speaker 5: I need you to just your head a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up because we saw
Speaker 2: a lot of emotion tonight from Dalton Rushing breaking a
Speaker 2: bat to the frustration at the plate. Dalton Rushing was
Speaker 2: zero for three with three strikeouts and a walk in.
Speaker 2: Dalton Rushing oh for three with runners in scoring positions.
Speaker 2: So he came up with guys out there, you know,
Speaker 2: able to try to drive him in and he couldn't
Speaker 2: do it. And you can see the frustration and you
Speaker 2: can hear him yelling. Some of the Dodger players are
Speaker 2: kind of chuckling when he put the glove over his
Speaker 2: mouth and started yelling at himself and frustration. But is
Speaker 2: that just a young player frustrated and showing that emotions.
Speaker 2: That's something he's got a bottle up.
Speaker 5: Moving forward, he'll learn the time. But there's some things
Speaker 5: you don't want to take away from a player when
Speaker 5: it comes to intensity. Now, you don't want to be
Speaker 5: a problem or loses to your teammates, or attract too
Speaker 5: much attention from the other teams by things that happened
Speaker 5: to have nothing to do with the game. But don't
Speaker 5: take away intensity. I mean, there's been crazy guys that
Speaker 5: have played this game have been really good at Hall
Speaker 5: of Famers, but to do it under control. They know
Speaker 5: when when not to. They always have a good teamates
Speaker 5: to go. You know what, now not the time you
Speaker 5: might have taken your offer four, but you know what,
Speaker 5: the team won. But for doubts and runner and the
Speaker 5: young catcher. Remember you're involved with every single pitch, responsible
Speaker 5: for the homework and keeping guys calm, understanding what situation
Speaker 5: you're coming in or they're coming into. It's a big
Speaker 5: step today to know that he was so first over
Speaker 5: with the offensive. I just you know he's been scuffling
Speaker 5: with the bat. Will mean Upia to get a run
Speaker 5: the board, but behind the plate no effect whatsoever. It's
Speaker 5: a big important thing for young players players to separate
Speaker 5: one thing from the other, and so far Russia has
Speaker 5: done a very good job without this season.
Speaker 2: You know, Jose I had a friend text me and
Speaker 2: he said, why is show, Hey, Mookie not in the
Speaker 2: lineup tonight? Why do they need a night off? And
Speaker 2: I tried to text back and explain to him that
Speaker 2: they needed to get off their feet that you know,
Speaker 2: even though they have an off day next Thursday, you know,
Speaker 2: they got to get some rest. They just got to
Speaker 2: mentally just throttle down for a night and not think
Speaker 2: about the grind and just sit on the bench and
Speaker 2: chew seeds for nine inning. How important was it to
Speaker 2: get those guys off their feet for showing in particular,
Speaker 2: just to get a complete night off.
Speaker 5: Listen, man, he's going through this season. He has not
Speaker 5: gone through in a couple of years. He is a
Speaker 5: little older, he's stronger, There's way more in terms of
Speaker 5: what he knows he can do the offensive side. But
Speaker 5: he will never admit the show does not win an
Speaker 5: off date. But the Dodgers knew coming into whether their
Speaker 5: faithwait shown and the very unique player you were going
Speaker 5: to have to guarding him himself and understand that you decide.
Speaker 5: He's involved in decisions, as Dave Roberts said today, and
Speaker 5: he understands way more of what they're doing. The planning
Speaker 5: is not about going out there and you know the
Speaker 5: cy Young talk that's great by about the Wall club
Speaker 5: to win and all the stuff. Rewards will come the
Speaker 5: byproduct of what you do. But for those guys is important.
Speaker 5: I mean, the mental grind is important. Remember that you know,
Speaker 5: originally Mokis was going to be playing of the first
Speaker 5: two games and then verse one. Well, they had a
Speaker 5: conversations like, you know what, I'll play three. I feel
Speaker 5: good enough. It paid off, might have and today it's
Speaker 5: gonna happens to him. Though, when when guys that caliber
Speaker 5: take off days, is that the team wins and they
Speaker 5: feel even better about the fact that, you know, there's
Speaker 5: no talking about how kind he does that was a
Speaker 5: use and why now I want today? So it's a
Speaker 5: good thing that the team has go out there and
Speaker 5: pick him up. Is that they pick up Mooki when
Speaker 5: he was out for the long sim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. If they can get the
Speaker 2: win like they did tonight. Without two of their big
Speaker 2: guys in the lineup, it is certainly a good night
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. Well, Jose, David's gonna be on TV
Speaker 2: the next couple of days, so you're gonna be stuck
Speaker 2: with me, my man for postgame during this series against
Speaker 2: the Angels. So we'll talk some baseball the next couple
Speaker 2: of days.
Speaker 5: Let's do that big a tomorrow on this weekend. So
Speaker 5: the Mighty Angels I talked about, you know, they they
Speaker 5: actually were a little wakeup cop Dale last this time.
Speaker 5: You know, let's go make that stuff on him.
Speaker 2: That's right, absolutely, Jose will talk to you tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: Safe travels, Okay, thank you? All right, there he goes,
Speaker 2: Jose Mota joining us here on Dodger Talk to Dodgers
Speaker 2: Baseball brought to by Medello Medello the mark of a fighter.
Speaker 2: And tonight the Dodgers had to go into that ring,
Speaker 2: so to speak, without Mookie Betts and without show Hey Otani,
Speaker 2: both of the night off. The Dodgers' lineup looked a
Speaker 2: little different. Will Smith batting lead off? You heard me right,
Speaker 2: Will Smith batting the lead off, had that leadoff home
Speaker 2: running the first inning as a designated hitter on base
Speaker 2: twice with the walk included. Quiet night for Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: and Kyle Tucker a combined oh for eight with two strikeouts.
Speaker 2: You throw on Andy Pajez, who was zero for three.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers two three four hitters were a combined zero
Speaker 2: for eleven with two strikeouts and a walk. At the
Speaker 2: bottom of the lineup though, delivered to Oscar Hernandez three
Speaker 2: for four, including a couple of doubles. I Sung Kim
Speaker 2: had a run driven in. Alice Call came in and
Speaker 2: had a base hit as well. Miguel Rojas two for
Speaker 2: three with an RBI. So the bottom of the lineup
Speaker 2: with Kim Colin Rojas four hits, four RBIs ta, Oscar
Speaker 2: Hernandez three for four as well as the Dodgers get
Speaker 2: the win five to two over the San Francisco Giants,
Speaker 2: who leave town and the Dodgers now also leaving town
Speaker 2: for a nine game road trip three and Anaheim over
Speaker 2: the weekend. Three in San Diego next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Speaker 2: and then a day off before three game series next
Speaker 2: weekend in Millwaukee. Well, he told you about Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now and Dave Roberts before the game, gave an update
Speaker 2: on the Dodger right hander, who is eligible to come
Speaker 2: off the injured list next weekend, but Dave Roberts telling
Speaker 2: the media before the game that at this point it
Speaker 2: does not look like Tyler Glass now it's going to
Speaker 2: be ready by then when that first day to come
Speaker 2: off the il comes up. He's been playing catch. David
Speaker 2: Vassa and I talked about it on Dodgers on Deck yesterday.
Speaker 2: He was out throwing off flat ground and left field
Speaker 2: before the game. He's playing catch, but he's not thrown
Speaker 2: off a mound yet, and with backspasms, the last thing
Speaker 2: you want to do is rush him back. I mean,
Speaker 2: what is an extra couple of days when you think
Speaker 2: about the entire season and how long it is. Same
Speaker 2: with Mookie Betts and the oblique. Why rush back if
Speaker 2: you're feeling eighty five percent. When it's a six month
Speaker 2: baseball season, it's a grind of one hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: two games. Let's get one hundred percent If not feel
Speaker 2: really good to come back off an injured list. And
Speaker 2: if you're Tyler Glass, now, no need to rush back.
Speaker 2: So it sounds like they're taking their time with Tyler
Speaker 2: Glass now and Dave Roberts saying that there's a good
Speaker 2: chance he won't be ready to come off the injured
Speaker 2: list when his time is eligible to come up. Next
Speaker 2: weekend when the Dodgers are in Milwaukee, celebrate ninety years
Speaker 2: of racing at Santa Anita Park every Friday through Sunday
Speaker 2: with millions in payouts every race day. You get the
Speaker 2: preakingess this weekend. You can go out there and watch
Speaker 2: that and then enjoy some races out at sant Anita
Speaker 2: for heart pounding action and new experiences of visit Santa
Speaker 2: Anita dot com slash e events again. Dodgers back at
Speaker 2: it tomorrow against the Angels. Blake Snell will make his
Speaker 2: second start of the season since coming off the Angeles.
Speaker 2: Jack Kohanowitz will go for the Angels, Justin Robletski coming
Speaker 2: off the start the other night. We'll go on Saturday
Speaker 2: against Jose Soriano, who has been fantastic. Suffered his first
Speaker 2: loss recently for the Angels but has been arguably one
Speaker 2: of the best pitchers in baseball the first month and
Speaker 2: a half of the season. Then Roki Sasaki scheduled to
Speaker 2: go on Sunday in the final game of the three
Speaker 2: game series, and then the Dodgers will head even further
Speaker 2: south down the five Freeway past Camp Pendleton and into
Speaker 2: San Diego at Petco Park next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
Speaker 2: against the Padres and what should be a thrilling three
Speaker 2: game series where we could see some separation in the standings.
Speaker 2: Either way, Dodgers take care of business, could put some
Speaker 2: distance between them and the Padres depending on what happens
Speaker 2: in Anaheim this weekend. So it's certainly gonna be a
Speaker 2: fun week of baseball coming up as the Dodgers hit
Speaker 2: the road Anaheim, San Diego and then Milwaukee. Well that's
