The Dodgers are the favorites to become 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:12.560 the fifth. 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.080 This is World Champion Dodger Talk. 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.600 Here we go again. Wegeta running back to get in on. 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:20.400 The show called eight six six nine eighty seven two 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.520 five seventy, and be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.920 you catch your podcasts. Here's your host, David Vasse. 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.480 Last thing, welcome the Dodger Talk. 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.440 David Vasse with you until eleven thirty tonight after the 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.520 Dodgers fall to the Giants nine to three in Game 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.240 one of this four game series. We have phone lines 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.519 open at eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy. 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.000 Jose Mota will join us in about fifteen to twenty 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.400 minutes to get his perspective on what we saw tonight 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:56.360 and what we've been seeing recently from this Dodger offense 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.920 with all of a sudden now has scored three or 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.400 less runs in what is it now three or less 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.440 runs and thirteen of their last twenty two games since 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.720 winning fifteen of their first nineteen games to begin the season. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.640 The Dodgers are nine and thirteen since. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.080 April eighteenth, So this is not just a one or 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:23.399 two game issue. This is an issue since April eighteenth, 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.960 where the Dodgers are four games under five hundred and 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.440 now have lost three in a row and for the 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.959 first time since two thousand and eight, the Dodgers have 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.000 lost three in a row by five or more runs. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.520 That is shocking and that's the reality right now. And 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.560 for me, the Dodgers are very fortunate to be in 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.680 just second place right now coming into the game tonight, 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.240 tied for first place, but for me, very fortunate to 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.400 be where they're at in the standings with the way 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:59.560 their offense has gone recently. And for me, I know 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.320 the Dogs have this self confidence that is going to 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.600 prove to help them throughout the year and as they 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.280 get into October, because they're going to be there. 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:15.560 But for me, right now on May eleventh. 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.239 The Dodgers have got to show a little more urgency. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.480 There just doesn't seem to be a lot of urgency 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.120 right now from a lot of guys, and the feeling 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.680 that we'll just get out of this okay, yeah, probably, 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.079 but will you if there's no urgency? I mean, I've 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.440 heard a lot of teams that on paper look fantastic 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.040 and they keep saying tomorrow, wait until tomorrow, we'll get 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.280 out of this. And the Dodgers, you know, finished the 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.960 second half of last year in a slump. They hit 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:51.720 two oh three in the World Series. They homer their 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.239 way to a Game seven championship, and the pitching and 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.959 the defense and the key hits proved to help them 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.280 in the NLDN When ta Oscar Hernandez hit a big 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.280 three run home run in the eighth inning of Game 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.880 one against Christopher Sanchez, Oh, I know you forgot about 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.480 that because you're too busy bearing ta Oscar Hernandez. But 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.960 if it wasn't for Tioscar Hernandez in the NLDS, the 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.400 Dodgers don't even get to the NLCS. 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.240 So let's not forget that. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.560 And let's not forget what Taoscar Hernandez did for the 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.960 Dodgers in twenty four as well. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.840 And I like that Dave Roberts sent a message. He 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:30.320 sent a. 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.200 Message by where he hit Taoscar Hernandez tonight hitting eighth, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.680 and I like that. Ta Oscar Hernandez responded to the challenge. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.720 He didn't sulk. He didn't dog it. He actually took 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.400 his game to the next level tonight. On the very 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.920 first batter of the game, Jung Hu Lee sent what 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.240 would have been extra bases to left field and Taoscar 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.440 Hernandez robbed him. And also later in the game, ta 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:59.040 Oscar Hernandez was able to make a diving stop. He 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.840 trapped the ball, but he made a diving stop of 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.560 what would have been extra bases. So kudos to Taoscar 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:10.160 Hernandez for responding to the challenge of hitting eighth tonight, 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.640 and he doubled. And he's been in a slump as well. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.000 It's not just Otani. There's other guys in this lineup, 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:22.280 like Kyle Tucker and Taoscar Hernandez, and you know, there's 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:24.800 a few others, but those are the first two that 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.680 come to mind. Will Smith is getting his hits, but 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.200 he's not really driving the ball. So there's been guys 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:36.240 outside of Otani. But Taioscar Hernandez got his first extra 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.920 base hit tonight for the first time since April twenty first, 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.320 when the Dodgers were playing the Giants in San Francisco. 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.120 That's how long it's been since the power hitting Taoscar 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:52.440 Hernandez has had an extra base hit. So the Dodgers 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.040 to me, just need to play with more urgency. They're 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.320 putting in the work. I mean, you see the guys 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:02.080 out here, they're putting in the work defensively in the cage, 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.600 out here, in the cage, no doubt, but it just 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.640 feels like there's got to. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.159 Be a little more urgency. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.479 Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:16.400 the phone number. Max Monsey has been, to me, the 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.440 best player the Dodgers have had from opening Day to 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:25.160 where we're at May eleventh, defensively and offensively, and tonight 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.359 he drove in two of the three Dodger runs after 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.360 hitting his eleventh home run of the year to tie 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:35.640 the game leading off the sixth inning, played magnificent defense 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:40.600 again and hit his twenty seventh career home run against 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.919 the Giants tonight. He's got to be public enemy number 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.640 one in San Francisco since he's put on a Dodger 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:52.880 uniform because Muncie has the third most home runs against 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.440 the Giants of any other active player. The only two 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.359 active players that have hit more home runs against the 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.960 Giants are Paul Goldschmidt, and Nolan Aernauto Aeronauto with thirty 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:08.119 four gold Schmid with thirty two, months Sy with twenty seven. 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.159 Let's head downstairs right now to hear from Monthsy on 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.279 sports and at LA. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.120 Yeah, like we said, actually we're in a funk right 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.840 now and it's it's a team white thing. You need 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.520 to try to find the positives out of it for 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.640 you know, for that situation we are. We are creating 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.320 situations where we can have good things happen. We're it's 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.839 not getting you know, a hit here or there, so 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.200 you know, you try to like I said, you try 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.919 that with positives. We are creating situations. We just weren't 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:35.760 a funk at cash. 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.040 On Men, do you guys as a group or just 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.400 maybe the veterans of this clubhouse, do you guys come 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.720 together in a time like this right now to kind 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.039 of figure things out or just obviously you are so 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.280 talented and you know who you are. But are there 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.240 conversations happening behind closed doors amongst you all? 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.520 There's a lot of conversations happening. Yeah, you know where 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.880 You're not taking this lightly right now, but you know, 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:01.920 we also understand it is one sixty two and you know, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:03.800 we've gone through stretches like this in the past, and 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.200 we've also gone through good stretches, and so it's just 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.800 you know, we're we're having a lot of conversations, but 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.239 it's also trying not to overreact to something. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.040 Still early in May, like you said, you guys kind 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.880 of had a stretch that this last year and said, 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:17.880 how did you guys have to break out of that 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.480 and what sort of a sort of taken that possible 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:21.800 to bring into this situation? 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.440 MEA, I just have to keep your head clear, you know. 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.320 It's it's it's easy to dwell on the negative things 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.080 that are happening, especially in baseball. This is a very 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:32.200 hard support and there are gonna be a lot of 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.880 bad things that happen, but you you just have to 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:36.640 show up each day and keep moving on. And you know, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.800 g have to trust who you are, trusting, trusting the team, 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:42.280 trusting the process. And uh, you know, it's something that 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.120 we've harped on a lot over the years, and you 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.920 know we're gonna keep doing that and not fully understand 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:47.840 we are going to come out of this. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.760 Is there been any disconnected you know, creating. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.920 The opportunities versus then coming to the plate like in 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.840 those situations that you've noticed. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:02.160 You know, the. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.200 Hard thing about when you're going through a fune click 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.520 bus as a team is you know, you get these 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.800 situations and you want to do something big instead of 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.200 just keeping it simple. And I think all of us 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.200 up and down are kind of in that spot right now, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.200 and we just need to simplify things and not trying 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.360 to do too much when it's I want to talk 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:22.360 turning the box. 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.200 All right, there's Max Munsey after the Dodgers fall to 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.240 the Giants tonight nine to three, And just to put 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:34.720 it into perspective, the Giants have been spiraling downwards with 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.120 the way their season has gone, with the inexperienced college 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:43.600 coach Tony Vaytello making the transition into major league baseball 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.600 having issues even making pitching changes. The Giants offense has 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:52.320 been well below major league average and some of the 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.840 biggest categories you have to have their last and runs scored, 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:00.400 their lasting home runs hit. Even with Raphael Dever hitting 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.520 his fifth home run of the year, they've only hit 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.080 twenty six home runs this year and their OPS is 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.560 six point fifty three, which is twenty ninth out of 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.959 thirty teams and then they come into La game one 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.679 of this four game series and score nine runs, and 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:21.559 it was uncharacteristic. You're not gonna see many nights, if 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.880 anymore this year where Alex Vesia loads the bases and 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.400 then forces in a run. So you're not really gonna 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.520 see that. That was so uncharacteristic of Vessia, but nonetheless 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:33.120 it happened. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.160 And Roki Sasaki tonight. 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.640 I mentioned this in the Clubhouse show, but I'll say this, 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.520 his last two starts have probably been his two best 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.880 starts of the season. But there's good, bad, and ugly 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.280 and a lot of these starts, and I think it 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:54.480 says something that in five of the Sasaki starts they've been. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:55.600 Over three hours. 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.000 Five out of rokie seven starts this year, the game 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.040 teams have taken over three hours. In a league where 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.520 the average is just about two thirty eight. That means 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:08.560 he's not thrown a lot of strikes, He's thrown a 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.880 lot of pitches and short amount of innings. Tonight five 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.680 plus innings and he threw ninety one pitches. So that's 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.320 just an indication of you know, yes, he teases you 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.640 to believe that it's gonna go in the right direction 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.640 the next start. But then you know there's things that 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.080 happened that unravel like they did in the sixth Inning. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.320 But his stuff was really good tonight, There's no doubt 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.680 about that. Eight six six, nine eighty seven, two five 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.040 seventy is the phone number Dodgers fall to the Giants tonight, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.040 nine to three. Let's go out to the phones. Noah 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.760 in Downy, one of my favorite cities. Now Noah hundaiy Downy, 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.640 Downy Hyundai, and now Noah in Downey. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:50.000 Colin. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.920 Yees, sir, he, I just want to come in here 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.880 and say all the these like I know what you're 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.679 saying about, all the people talking about Tay Oscar and 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.080 the offensive struggles, but there would be no Ti Oscar Hernandez. 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.520 I mean, there would be no back to back World 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.720 Series champions without the Oscar Hernandez. And there is no 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.360 back to back World Series without Max Munsey and all 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:19.079 these guys like they're gonna come through. And championships aren't 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.960 won in May, they're one in October. So I just 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.440 want to come in here and say that, all. 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.760 Right, thank you for reminding us of that, Noah, championships 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.920 are not one in May, You're right, they're not as 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.280 far as Monthsy goes. He's a three time World Series champion, 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.480 and nobody's taking shots at months anymore, even though at 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.360 this time last year there were a lot of monthsI 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.320 haters out there. Andy Paez, by the way, along with 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.880 Max Munsey, have been the two best players in my 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:54.760 estimation to begin this year offensively and defensively. But when 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.520 the Dodgers had a rally in the fourth inning, bases 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:02.320 loaded and nobody out, Andy pie has did what baseball 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.040 players will do from time to time, broke his bat 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.160 and grounded into a double play. Yes, a run score, 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.200 but it kind of took the steam out of that inning, 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.600 and quite frankly, over the course of the last ten games, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.840 the Dodgers are grounding into way too many double plays. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:22.280 I believe Rick Monday quoted the stat of about twelve 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.440 double plays the Dodgers have grounded into in the last week. 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.880 That is not going to sustain rallies. Let's go out 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.640 to Mission Viejo. Bill, you're on Dodger Talk. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:34.480 How you doing. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:36.120 Hi? 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.200 He just mentioned what I was going to bring up 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.040 about the double play ball. It only scored the run 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.400 on the double play and then the one run before that. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.200 I was also going to mention that this is the 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.800 same Giant pitching staff that gave up thirteen runs to 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:52.200 the Pirates two days ago. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:54.920 Yeah, I know. 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:59.040 That's why it's even more confounding that the Dodgers got 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.760 beat nine to three tonight. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:05.960 Right, And I just hopefully that you know, they'll saw 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.320 Hawser will be a breakthrough them. He's zero and four. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.600 I hope he's he might be like another. 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:14.199 One Bill coming into this series. You know, on paper, 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.000 the Dodgers should sweep the Giants. Maybe the only game 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.800 the Giants should win in this series is the one 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.600 that Robbie rays starting on Wednesday night. But he's going 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.600 up against Otani, so you know, I know Howser is winless. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.240 I know his ERA is almost seven. But let's see 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.720 these guys do it tomorrow night. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:33.720 Yeah, that would be great. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.960 All right, Bill, thank you for the phone call. Yeah. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.360 The guy the Dodgers are facing tomorrow Adriane Hawser, a 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.960 right hander the Dodgers should do some damage against. He's 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:46.600 owing four with an ERA of six nineteen and Yamamoto's 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.240 on the mound for the Dodgers tomorrow night. So on paper, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.640 like tonight, the Dodgers should have won, and Dave Roberts 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.120 said after the game tonight that Otani may or may 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:00.600 not hit on Wednesday night. He's not going to hit 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.479 either Wednesday or the day after his start on Thursday. 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.240 And when the Dodgers lined up Otani starts for Wednesday. 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.400 The first six weeks of the season, Thursday was an 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.680 off day. But this is the middle of thirteen in 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.760 a row. This is a four game series, so Thursday 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.320 is not an off day now. If it's up to me, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.240 the Dodgers have tried this by not allowing Otani to 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.120 hit on the days that he's pitching. I'm going with Otani. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.320 I'm going outside the box here. I'm going Otani hits 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.120 on Wednesday night. I would have Mookie Bets leadoff. I 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.640 would have show Aotani hitting cleanup, and then on Thursday, 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.320 I would give Otani the recovery day and not allow 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.320 him to DH and have Mooki in the leadoff spot again. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.200 And now that Mookie's back, the Dodgers have one of 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.840 the best leadoff hitters over the course of the last 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:57.400 thirty years back in their lineup. So he hit second tonight. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.960 He's hit lead off the majority of his career. I 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:04.440 think that for me would be the direction to go. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.880 But I'm not the manager. But that's my hot take tonight. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.520 That's as hot as it's getting. Let's go out to Shamsey. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.040 You're on Dodger Talk with David Vasse. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.080 How you doing, Shamsy. 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.640 I'm doing all right, Dave? How are you? 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:19.840 I mean. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.120 I've been better. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.920 I mean the Lakers got swept by the thunder tonight 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.640 and the Dodgers lost to the Giants. So LA Sports 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.560 has been in a better state of affairs on a 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:33.480 night like tonight. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:34.920 Yeah. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.040 Absolutely. I was at the game, and you know, it 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.240 was fun till it wasn't. I just I agree completely 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.240 with your assession of lack of urgency. I was like, 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.160 I felt like they didn't care that we were playing 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.960 our biggest rival, even if they're in a spiral. It's 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.000 the Giants. You gotta show up, show out. That's the 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:57.560 whole point. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:15:59.560 You don't remember. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.720 And my phone from my friends up in the bay. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.120 So that's not fun. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.240 No, that's not fun at all for your personal life. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.480 Of course, the Dodgers have to keep that in mind. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.360 Champsy's gonna get some trash talk now. And don't forget 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.680 last year the Angels beat the Dodgers all six times 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.840 they faced each other. So these teams, like the Giants 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.040 and Angels are getting up for the Dodgers, and there's 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.600 gotta be a little bit more urgency. I know they 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.640 want to play it cool. Were the back to back champs. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.720 This doesn't mean as much to us as it means 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.520 to you, but still a little bit more urgency would 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:35.960 be nice. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.160 Yeah, especially next monthly. I felt like, because he's just 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.400 got that in his heart of never hate the Giants, 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.000 you know, he plays with that. But the other guys, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.760 I don't know, maybe they should catch some of his anger. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.280 Hey, Tao had it tonight. Tao had it tonight. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.840 Tao absolutely hatty. I was so proud of him. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:55.040 I was really proud of Tao. 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.760 I hopefully they'll they'll take. 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:58.880 It back up the rest of the series. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.160 It's the first game of so we'll see how it goes, 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:02.280 all right. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.680 I demand, I demand the Dodgers to turn this three 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.199 game losing streak into a three game winning streak to 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:13.000 close out this homestand and I demand them to sweep 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:13.680 the Angels. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:15.480 How about that? Shams I am. 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.400 Demanding a six game winning streak starting tomorrow night. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.119 I think that's a great I think that's that's a 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:24.560 perfectly reasonable demand. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:26.720 I think you're totally in the rail. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.960 No, lest I appreciate that I am the most reasonable 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.880 man in this stadium.

Williadomas 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:11.720 and Rafael Devers flipped the switch on the biggest stage 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.280 in baseball tonight against the back to back champions. Rafael 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:19.560 Devers has been nonexistent for the Giants this year. He 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.919 hits just his fifth home run of the season that 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.360 was leading off the second inning off of Roki Sasaki, 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:30.280 and Williadomas had two hits and drove in three runs. 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:33.040 So two guys that haven't been doing much of anything 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.400 this year all of a sudden decided to go back 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:41.480 to being Williadomas and Rafael Devers.

Or do 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.359 you want to start with the Giants all of a 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.600 sudden deciding to play baseball? 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:23.879 Let's start work, rookie. What do you have? 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:25.480 Well? 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.679 I feel like there's the good, the bad, and the 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:31.320 ugly with him more than most pitchers. But I do 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:35.439 believe that this was an outing where he had pretty 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.800 good stuff, and the last two starts have been encouraging. 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:40.359 Do you feel the same way. 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.480 I feel the same way. Encouraging, yes, But nonetheless, at 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.359 the big league level, there's gotta be that one pitch 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.520 that you make. There's got to be this one sequence day. 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.399 But you speak about so clearly pretty much in this 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:56.479 show a lot that you gotta feel comfortable with, and 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.520 it seems like if we talk about sequence scene with 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.480 such hockey, it's like we don't know what is the 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:04.760 sequence with him. And one thing that I texted you 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.240 during the game was against Elliot Robbins. It is a 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:14.000 perfect chance for you to have something going sideways. As 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.119 a hitter in the big leagues, you have such an 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.400 advantage where you know that nothing's gonna beat you going 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:24.760
