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. The Dodgers are the favorites to become
Speaker 2: the fifth.
Speaker 1: This is World Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Here we go again.
Speaker 4: We gera running back hosted by Dodger Saint signer David Vassie.
Speaker 3: In the mix.
Speaker 4: Dodger Talk is brought to you by La County Public
Speaker 4: Works Champions recycled beverage containers make the play Recycle Today,
Speaker 4: and by Children's Hospital LA from Colds to Cancer. We
Speaker 4: got this to get in on the show called eight
Speaker 4: six six not eighty seven, two five seven days and
Speaker 4: be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4: Here's your host, David Vase Day.
Speaker 2: Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase live at Uniclo Field
Speaker 2: at Dodgers Stadium. After the Mariners hold on for a
Speaker 2: seven to six win. We have phone lines open at
Speaker 2: eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. We
Speaker 2: are less than a week away from the trade deadline,
Speaker 2: So if you want to do trade talk, trade talk,
Speaker 2: my numbing trade talk. I'm starting to gather people. Just
Speaker 2: tell me things it's weird. I don't go searching information,
Speaker 2: but around the league now, being around it for fifteen years, uh,
Speaker 2: people just tell me stuff. So I have some indicators
Speaker 2: on not just about what the Dodgers may or may
Speaker 2: not do, but what other teams may do as far
Speaker 2: as the trade deadline goes. So we could get to
Speaker 2: all that in a second. And also coming up, we
Speaker 2: have a reaction from keik A Hernandez. He was officially
Speaker 2: activated today. He could have played in this game, so
Speaker 2: he is activated. Alex Freeland was optioned back to Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City tomorrow. Edwin Diaz is going to be activated as
Speaker 2: the Dodger closer tomorrow. Blake Snell is going to make
Speaker 2: a a rehab start for Ontario. That's going to be
Speaker 2: his third rehab appearance, and the Dodgers are looking for
Speaker 2: Snell to get twelve outs tomorrow. That's twelve outs, that
Speaker 2: means four innings of work. They want him to finish
Speaker 2: four innings, and then after that they'll decide, as Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts said a couple of days ago, they'll read and
Speaker 2: react what they want to do with Snell after what
Speaker 2: they see tomorrow night. So Snell Zilla, if you're listening.
Speaker 2: They want twelve outs out there in the Inland Empire
Speaker 2: from you to even have a chance to be activated
Speaker 2: after tomorrow's game. Eight six six nine, eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number before we get into
Speaker 2: what O'tani said after the game, because let's be honest,
Speaker 2: if you've been watching the Dodgers on the nine game
Speaker 2: road trip and what you saw tonight, how can you
Speaker 2: tell us that his left knee is a major issue
Speaker 2: for why he's not pitching. And I know he continues
Speaker 2: to insist that the left knee doesn't bother him when
Speaker 2: he hits or when he runs the bases, But come on,
Speaker 2: you're one guy.
Speaker 3: You have one left knee.
Speaker 2: You're going first to third, you're trying to stretch out
Speaker 2: doubles into triples, you're trying to take the extra base,
Speaker 2: and you're telling us your left knee is hurting that
Speaker 2: badly that you can't throw. I understand a lot of
Speaker 2: force is coming down on that front leg. I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that it doesn't bother him. But you know, a
Speaker 2: red flag came to my mind during that road trip
Speaker 2: that could it be Otani's right bicep that flared up
Speaker 2: two separate times earlier this season. That is preventing him
Speaker 2: from pitching again. So we'll get to that a little
Speaker 2: bit later in the show, but I just want to
Speaker 2: address tonight's game. Seven home runs hit in the game tonight.
Speaker 2: That's not something you see at Dodger Stadium, so it
Speaker 2: was unfortunate it was the Mariners that hit, including a
Speaker 2: mistake slider by Alex Vessi, a hung one to Dominic Conzone.
Speaker 2: That's going to happen, and Canzoni had a hell of
Speaker 2: a night. Two home runs tonight for the Mariners. Right
Speaker 2: fielder Cal Rawley hit just his third home run since
Speaker 2: the beginning of June. Julio Rodriguez, who has had an
Speaker 2: underwhelming first half of the year, hit a home run tonight.
Speaker 2: So you can't tell me the Mariners, who are three
Speaker 2: games out of first place in the horrible aos under
Speaker 2: five hundred, didn't come to play tonight with a lot
Speaker 2: of urgency and they barely barely beat the Dodgers tonight
Speaker 2: seven to six. And when you lose one run games,
Speaker 2: you think back to when Louis Castillo was in the game,
Speaker 2: and I feel like Dennis Green right here, the late
Speaker 2: great Arizona Minnesota Vikings coach. I completely feel like the
Speaker 2: Dodgers let Luis Castillo off the hook, left them off
Speaker 2: the hook. Even though they were able to score five
Speaker 2: runs against Castile, there could have been a lot more.
Speaker 2: They left the bases loaded in the fourth inning. I'm
Speaker 2: thinking back to Dino Ebol sending Kyle Tucker home and instead,
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, Kyle Tucker thinks he knows what's going
Speaker 2: on behind him better than the best third base coach
Speaker 2: in all of baseball, and Kyle Tucker took it upon
Speaker 2: himself to stop at third base. Dave Roberts was shown
Speaker 2: on TV tonight shaking his head and discussed Dino Ebel
Speaker 2: was I'm sure fit to be tied. You saw Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmond and Indy Piez waving Tucker home and were dumbfounded
Speaker 2: that Tucker stood at third base. When you're hitting two
Speaker 2: thirty and a lot of things are not going your
Speaker 2: way offensively, those things can't happen. And Dalton Rushing got
Speaker 2: a bad read in the third inning. A great point
Speaker 2: by Steven Nelson, Rick Monday, and Charlie's Steiner that if
Speaker 2: Rushing gets a better read, he scores Otani's at third base.
Speaker 2: And Otani scores on the double playground ball by Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 2: So those are the type of things that you don't
Speaker 2: usually see from the Dodgers. But we're talking about a
Speaker 2: player that's in his first full season. I'm sure the
Speaker 2: mind the body is starting to get run down because
Speaker 2: Rushing is catching more games than he ever thought he
Speaker 2: would this year, and probably more than he has in
Speaker 2: a couple of years, if ever in professional baseball. And
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, he was having a good night, had a single,
Speaker 2: had a good walk to get on base, to keep
Speaker 2: the line moving, and then that happened. And I felt
Speaker 2: like after that happened, he got so down on himself
Speaker 2: that you lost him for the rest of the game.
Speaker 2: He had a horrible game after that. So those are
Speaker 2: just my takes on the game. Tonight eight six, six,
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers lose
Speaker 2: seven to six. And I got to point out Max
Speaker 2: Munsey hitting not only his one hundred and thirtieth career
Speaker 2: home run here at Dodger Stadium, tying Eric Carros, but
Speaker 2: also that incredible at bat in the ninth inning, a
Speaker 2: nine pitch walk against Anthony Munios. Was that was a
Speaker 2: great at bat by Munsey right there, and certainly a
Speaker 2: really good game from Monsey, and I bet he was
Speaker 2: feeling good.
Speaker 3: He knew where he was. As far as home runs.
Speaker 2: At Dodgers Stadium, he ties the all time LA Dodgers
Speaker 2: home run King Eric Carros for the most home runs
Speaker 2: hit here at Dodgers Stadium one hundred and thirty home
Speaker 2: runs for both Caros and Monsey. Munsey has done it
Speaker 2: a lot faster, five hundred and sixteen games, six hundred
Speaker 2: and forty eight at bats. Caros did it in seven
Speaker 2: hundred and ninety eight games at Dodgers Stadium two thousand,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and seventy nine at bats eight six, six, seven,
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Andy in Westlake Village. You're on Dodger Talk with
Speaker 2: David vasse Hi.
Speaker 5: Andy, Hey, Dave, thanks for all you do.
Speaker 6: Always appreciate your insight and your acumen and your passion
Speaker 6: and honesty about the Dodgers, So thank you for that.
Speaker 6: I love trade season and wanted to get your thoughts
Speaker 6: on you know, I know we're talking about Derek's school,
Speaker 6: but you know I love Hunter Green Loco kid I
Speaker 6: was wondering if you heard any rumors, any thoughts on
Speaker 6: whether or not the Dodgers should kick the tires on
Speaker 6: Hunter Green and if the Reds might be willing to
Speaker 6: part with him.
Speaker 2: Hunter Green has been hurt a lot this year, so
Speaker 2: I'm not sure the Dodgers are interested in him. I
Speaker 2: went to Notre Dame High School, so I wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: having hunter Green in LA. But he he's he's had
Speaker 2: a history of injuries, and I'm not sure he would
Speaker 2: fit in the Dodgers' plans in the mid middle of
Speaker 2: the season. So I don't feel like that is something.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard that Andy, So I don't feel like
Speaker 2: that's something that's on the radar. I could be wrong,
Speaker 2: Andrew Friedman could be keeping that very quiet, but I
Speaker 2: just don't see that right now.
Speaker 6: I totally understand he's definitely had some injury before. He
Speaker 6: seems to have come back. He said a couple of
Speaker 6: stellar games and a couple of games where he's bombed
Speaker 6: out a little bit. But if you can get him undervalued,
Speaker 6: I think he said, the stud and his strikeout machine,
Speaker 6: and you know you can never having at Barms, but
Speaker 6: you certainly you know.
Speaker 2: Andy speaking of all that, Andy, that that just reminded
Speaker 2: me when you said he throws hard and all that.
Speaker 2: I remember Dodger hitters were telling me going into the
Speaker 2: Wildcard Series last year against the Reds that even though
Speaker 2: he does throw hard, he's a very comfortable at bat.
Speaker 2: So I don't think that's the guy that Dodger would acquire.
Speaker 2: I mean, and we're talking about the best of the
Speaker 2: best in that Dodger order, and they were not phased
Speaker 2: or concerned about Hunter Green facing him in the postseason.
Speaker 6: See, that's why you get the big bunts, you know,
Speaker 6: and you have the insights. So I appreciate your take
Speaker 6: on that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Andy, thanks for the phone call. Eight sixty six
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 2: out to Henry in LA. You're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: How you doing, Henry good?
Speaker 7: How are you TV?
Speaker 8: I wanted to ask a little I think the ninth
Speaker 8: inning today really kind of was exemplatory of this. But
Speaker 8: I think a lot of times this year, you know,
Speaker 8: and I don't want to show any different fact to Mookie.
Speaker 8: Obviously an Inner Circle Hall of Famer, I've loved him
Speaker 8: as a Dodger fan, but I think him and Tucker
Speaker 8: really can kind of create, you know, a hole in
Speaker 8: the lineup, especially in clutch moments like that. And I
Speaker 8: know Tucker started off having an okay game today, but like,
Speaker 8: do you think given the contract for Tucker and given
Speaker 8: Mookie's pedigree in the postseason or in more, you know,
Speaker 8: kind of important game, would they be willing to kind
Speaker 8: of pinch it or move off of a guy like that,
Speaker 8: or at least move Mooki down the line up. You know,
Speaker 8: when it come October, I wanted to hear kind of
Speaker 8: your opinion on that.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get to October. But when it's October, Henry,
Speaker 2: everything's on the table because it's about winning. I remember
Speaker 2: when Joe Torre hit Alex Rodriguez eighth when he wasn't
Speaker 2: hitting well. So if that could happen, Mookie Betts could
Speaker 2: be hitting eighth if he's not having quality at bats
Speaker 2: in the postseason. If Kyle Tucker's I mean, they they're
Speaker 2: hitting Tucker six. Now, I would have to know who
Speaker 2: who would be coming off the bench to pinch it
Speaker 2: for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 3: But you know, anything's possible.
Speaker 2: I would not envision something like that happening, but yeah,
Speaker 2: right now, it's been a front straighting season for both
Speaker 2: those guys. We're one hundred games in and neither one
Speaker 2: of those guys have sustained any level of consistency.
Speaker 8: Yeah, thanks Stevie. It's just, yeah, it's definitely been frustrating
Speaker 8: at times, especially obviously the Dodgers have rewarded Monthsy by
Speaker 8: putting him in new clean up.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's maybe it's time for the Dodgers
Speaker 2: to consider moving Tommy Edmund second permanently because they haven't
Speaker 2: been able to find a two hole hitter and Andy
Speaker 2: pa has since the beginning of June. June first is
Speaker 2: hitting two twenty five with only four home runs and
Speaker 2: nineteen RBIs, and that's right around the time he started
Speaker 2: hitting behind show hey Otani. So I feel like it's
Speaker 2: staring all of us in the face that Tommy Edmund
Speaker 2: is the perfect number two hitter behind Otani because he's
Speaker 2: not going to try to go toe to toe with
Speaker 2: the power that o' tony shows. He's going to be
Speaker 2: a switch hitting number two hitter that certainly can make
Speaker 2: things happen.
Speaker 8: I totally agree.
Speaker 3: Thank you all right, Henry, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, for whatever reason, and there's been different
Speaker 2: I should say, I shouldn't say, for whatever reason, there
Speaker 2: are reasons why the number two spot in the Dodgers
Speaker 2: lineup is batting average production ops the worst spot in
Speaker 2: their lineup, no matter who it's been, whether it's been Tucker, Freeman, Bets,
Speaker 2: now Paz. You go back to the beginning of the year,
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker obviously not comfortable hitting second, new team, new surroundings,
Speaker 2: third team in three years.
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman started off.
Speaker 2: The season slow, So it's not because he was hitting second,
Speaker 2: it was just because he started the season slow. Mookie
Speaker 2: Betts strained is oblique and has never really gotten on
Speaker 2: track this year again. And Andy Paz is a variance
Speaker 2: type of hitter. You know, he's he's a guy that's
Speaker 2: a Boomer bus freeze swinging type of hitter. And you
Speaker 2: know what made him an All Star and made him
Speaker 2: so good the first half of the year is that
Speaker 2: he was taking his walks, he was getting deeper into
Speaker 2: at bats, and since the beginning of June, we're not
Speaker 2: seeing that. So I just feel like the way Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmund is playing, the way he's hitting the ball with authority,
Speaker 2: line drives, gap to gap making things happen to me.
Speaker 2: He is the ideal number two hitter behind Otaani, in
Speaker 2: front of Freddie Freeman. Eight six six seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number, by the way, I'll just
Speaker 2: say it right now. Behind Freddie Freeman. Tommy Edmund is
Speaker 2: my favorite player to watch right now.
Speaker 3: I mean he is.
Speaker 2: Playing that high a level baseball and playing it really
Speaker 2: well on the basis defensively and offensively.
Speaker 3: Let's go out to Kyle who is at the game tonight. Hi, Kyle,
Speaker 3: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 5: Hey David, we've kind of talked about it, or he's
Speaker 5: kind of talked about it a little bit, but this
Speaker 5: game I was at the game. It just kind of
Speaker 5: reiterated my worries about Robleski being in the rotation, especially
Speaker 5: with Okhani being injured. We can't really rely on Smell
Speaker 5: and glass All with the injury history kind of feels
Speaker 5: that we got to go get Scooball. We're the only
Speaker 5: team that can really make a great offer to really
Speaker 5: get them. And then also, what are you just we're
Speaker 5: talking about the two hole spot. It's been a disaster.
Speaker 5: The only people more worthless are the Dodger parking attendants.
Speaker 5: It took me like and I finally just hit the
Speaker 5: I five trying to get out of the game. Also, sorry,
Speaker 5: I have a little salty. I've been to the last
Speaker 5: ten games and we haven't lost. We finally lost this game,
Speaker 5: So I'm a little salty. But I think we'll be
Speaker 5: fine ultimately, So I'll hang up and listen.
Speaker 2: Thank you, all right, Kyle sounded like you just want
Speaker 2: to take a shot at the parking attendance.
Speaker 5: It was a little bit of that. I it's it's
Speaker 5: been a disaster.
Speaker 3: This year, Okay, I.
Speaker 2: Myself, Kyle, I understand, and they're they're just they're the
Speaker 2: boots on the ground. They're doing what they're told as
Speaker 2: far as the way to direct traffic out of there.
Speaker 3: But it is a grind. I understand.
Speaker 2: It's a grind to get out of Dodger Stadium, no doubt.
Speaker 2: But the reason why it's a grind is because there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people here every night. When you used
Speaker 2: to come in twenty eleven, you can get out in
Speaker 2: like five minutes because nobody was here. That's the reason
Speaker 2: why you're a little spoiled, right. I was coming to
Speaker 2: games in twenty eleven, and concession stands were closed. There
Speaker 2: was about fifteen thousand people here watching Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp,
Speaker 2: and a guy by the name of Jamie Carroll. That's
Speaker 2: the reason why you were able to get out of
Speaker 2: the parking lot really quick. Now it's a sold out
Speaker 2: crowd every night. People want to stay untill the ninth
Speaker 2: inning because they know this Dodger team is never out
Speaker 2: of it like they were in the ninth inning tonight.
Speaker 2: And I also disagree with you that the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: the best to offer for school bol I know nobody
Speaker 2: wants to acknowledge the Tampa Bay Rays. They're kind of
Speaker 2: like the planet Pluto. It's the furthest planet from the Sun,
Speaker 2: and nobody wants to acknowledge it's a planet. And nobody
Speaker 2: seems to even pay attention to Pluto. They're so worried
Speaker 2: about Jupiter and Mars and Saturn's rings, the flashy Saturn rings.
Speaker 2: The Rays, I believe, are the team that I would
Speaker 2: rank as the highest odds to land Trek's schooble. The
Speaker 2: people I've talked talked to around the league have told
Speaker 2: me that the Rays are going to be extremely aggressive
Speaker 2: at the deadline, and they are going to do as
Speaker 2: much as it takes to try to land Schooble if
Speaker 2: the Tigers are going to trade him. Also, they're gonna
Speaker 2: go after offense. They're in the mix for Ryan Jeffers,
Speaker 2: They're in the mix for Luisa.
Speaker 3: Rise Right now.
Speaker 2: They got Yondi Diaz and the second best player in
Speaker 2: the American League in Junior Camonaro, and not much else
Speaker 2: in that lineup. They believe you get Camonaro to October,
Speaker 2: he can carry you if you surround him with a
Speaker 2: lineup and with a pitching staff. And it's the Rays
Speaker 2: are going to you know, come on your radar really soon.
Speaker 9: Here.
Speaker 2: I firmly believe it's going to be a twenty twenty
Speaker 2: World Series rematch this year. If I had to handicap
Speaker 2: where school Ball's going, I'm going Rais Braves. And from
Speaker 2: what I understand, the Brewers are getting a little cold
Speaker 2: feed about, you know, doing what it takes, what it
Speaker 2: would take to get schoolble. And I'll still maintain even
Speaker 2: if Otani can't pitch the rest of the year, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers do not need trek Scuble. Their version of school
Speaker 2: bul is coming back after one or two more rehab
Speaker 2: starts and Blake Snell. And let me remind you, Trek's
Speaker 2: Scooble is a free agent at the end of the year.
Speaker 2: Do you really believe his agent, Scott Boris, is going
Speaker 2: to allow Trek's Scoobale to push himself to the limits
Speaker 2: with free agency on the horizon. Do you really believe
Speaker 2: Trek Scooble is going to be allowed to pitch on
Speaker 2: three days rest or come out of the bullpen Until
Speaker 2: I see it, I won't believe it because I'm traumatized,
Speaker 2: so are the rest of the twenty one Dodgers about
Speaker 2: what Max Scherzer pulled before Game six of the NLCS.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's on the table. Do you really
Speaker 2: believe a schoolbul went to the Braves or Rays or
Speaker 2: even the Dodgers that he's going to be allowed to
Speaker 2: compromise his elbow which was just operated on for his
Speaker 2: big payday.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 2: the phone number. And in fact, there's only two rental
Speaker 2: pending free agents that were acquired at the trade deadline
Speaker 2: that I can think of that pushed themselves to the
Speaker 2: limit and went all in that was CC Sabbathia with
Speaker 2: the Brewers and David Price when he was acquired by
Speaker 2: alex Enthopolis and the Blue Jays in twenty fifteen, and
Speaker 2: Thoppolis has his first opportunity since acquiring David Price in
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen to get a horse like that. So I'm
Speaker 2: just telling you what pretty good people around the league
Speaker 2: are telling me. The Rays and Braves are going to
Speaker 2: be extremely aggressive for Trek Skouble, and they should be.
Speaker 2: They don't have Blakes now, they don't have Yamamoto, they
Speaker 2: don't have glass now coming back. They don't have the
Speaker 2: pitching staff the Dodgers have. Eight sixty six nine eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy is the phone number Mariner survived
Speaker 2: the Dodgers tonight, seven to six. Let's go out to Dave,
Speaker 2: who is at the ballpark tonight. Hi, Dave, you're on
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk.
Speaker 10: Hey, appreciate you taking my call as always and love
Speaker 10: everything you do for Dodger Nation. Just wondering do you
Speaker 10: think Otani could have had an inside the park home
Speaker 10: run on that hit? Should he have been watching the
Speaker 10: third base coach? It seemed like he was kind of
Speaker 10: hung up at second base, kind of seeing what was
Speaker 10: going on with the Mariner bobble and the ball like
Speaker 10: crazy and he ended up at third. But just wondering
Speaker 10: it seemed like he could have maybe had an inside
Speaker 10: the park if he was just full steam around the base.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that, Dave. I think that would
Speaker 2: have been a reach. But uh, you know, I don't
Speaker 2: believe that was the most egregious, egregious base running mistake tonight.
Speaker 10: No, not at all, and no not you know, no
Speaker 10: disrespect to a Tani. He started off the game unbelievable.
Speaker 10: Just wanted your thoughts on that because it.
Speaker 7: I don't think I think that was a stretch Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that was I don't think that's
Speaker 2: necessary with a twelve game lead in the moment, even
Speaker 2: in the moment. No, I don't think that was necessary.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone call, Dave appreciated. Eight six' six
Speaker 2: nine to eighty seven two five seventy is the phone.

Speaker 2: not they believe they need to go out and get
Speaker 2: a frontline starter like A Terrek, schoob, well there's no
Speaker 2: doubt they got the guys to do. It but whether
Speaker 2: or not they feel that it's going to upgrade their
Speaker 2: pitching staff substantially for the price that it would take
Speaker 2: remains to be. Seen, so like we, said on that
Speaker 2: nine game road. Trip the Way otani was, running you
Speaker 2: could tell that that left knee was not the only,
Speaker 2: issue if there was one for why he wasn't pitching. Now,
Speaker 2: tonight after the, Game otani was asked whether or not
Speaker 2: the bicep that has flared up two separate times is
Speaker 2: also emitting eating? Factories is the advice that she dealt
Speaker 2: with at the end of the first half a factor of.
Speaker 3: Dollars it just sold.
Speaker 11: In the knee, community, concentate, schedule.
Speaker 1: Schedule, Push so, mama, still let's steal out to.

Speaker 11: a little different if we're In august Or.
Speaker 12: September all?
Speaker 2: Right that was Show Hey tani through his translator and
Speaker 2: obviously does a lot more Will, Ireton and there he
Speaker 2: is conceding that it is his right bicep that is
Speaker 2: a contributing factor on why the pitching has been. Paused
Speaker 2: and if you think he injured his, well the way
Speaker 2: he says, it he injured his right bicep two separate
Speaker 2: times while he was. Hitting, that's you, know as a
Speaker 2: left handed, hitter that's his bottom, hand his bottom, arm
Speaker 2: and that's kind of the driving force as the bottom
Speaker 2: hand when you're a. Hitter so he's thirty two years,
Speaker 2: old he's doing something unprecedented and doing it at a high.
Speaker 2: Level you can't tell me fatigue doesn't contribute to injuries like.
Speaker 2: That and then you have a left knee that was
Speaker 2: operated on In september of twenty, nineteen that was. Fused
Speaker 2: his kneecap was fused because when he was, born his
Speaker 2: kneecap was in two separate, bones and it was operated
Speaker 2: on to fuse it. Together so, obviously with what we
Speaker 2: learned during The All star break that he received a
Speaker 2: lubricant injection in that left, knee you gotta think there's
Speaker 2: a little arthritis in that left. Knee and you, know,
Speaker 2: Obviously i'm sure there's a lot more going on with
Speaker 2: his body at thirty two years, old doing this for
Speaker 2: as long as he. HAS i really do believe we
Speaker 2: take it for granted when we see it and we
Speaker 2: see how incredible of an athlete he, is how awe
Speaker 2: inspiring he, is you kind of forget you get a
Speaker 2: little blinded by the sun that this guy is a
Speaker 2: human being at thirty two years.
Speaker 3: Old so that's what he.
Speaker 2: Said and then After Dave roberts was asked the same
Speaker 2: question about how severe the bicep is and whether or
Speaker 2: not that is the number one factor on Why otani's not.
Speaker 13: Pitching, it's you, know it started with the, knee and
Speaker 13: then as he came out and the bicep thing happened
Speaker 13: when he took a. SWING i, mean, GOSH i don't,
Speaker 13: know three four weeks. Ago and then as we got
Speaker 13: to the, break we wanted him, to you, know rest his,
Speaker 13: knee rest his his. Arm and then as he started
Speaker 13: ramping back, UP i think in the, bullpen maybe In
Speaker 13: philadelphia or In New. York maybe it might have been
Speaker 13: In New, york it just wasn't, responding and nor was his,
Speaker 13: Knee and SO i think there's a there is a
Speaker 13: an effect from the lower half to the compromising of
Speaker 13: the upper half the, arm and so trying to mitigate,
Speaker 13: that we stopped the, throwing stop the, bullpens hopefully number,
Speaker 13: one take care of the, knee and then not have
Speaker 13: him try to create velocity with the. Arm that's not
Speaker 13: one hundred, Percent so that's kind of where we're. At
Speaker 13: and then if we look at him and his value
Speaker 13: for our ball, club we need him in the, lineup the,
Speaker 13: swing the running of the. Bases the knee the arm
Speaker 13: doesn't compromise. That so that's kind of Everything i've heard
Speaker 13: that's talking to Show hey the training, staff and that's
Speaker 13: where we're at a.
Speaker 3: Given health that you need o' tony as a hitter
Speaker 3: in the.
Speaker 4: Postseason has there been any talk about if these issues don't,
Speaker 4: improve him not pitching for you.
Speaker 13: This october everything That i've, heard that's not the. OPTION
Speaker 13: i guess anything's, possible but for, me it's highly. Unlikely
Speaker 13: we're doing all this number one to make sure that
Speaker 13: he's in a good spot health, wise but given where
Speaker 13: we're at in the, calendar you, know if the knee
Speaker 13: continues to get, better the arm continues to feel, BETTER
Speaker 13: i would expect in a. Pitch but, again this is
Speaker 13: something probably more for Show hey and the training staff to.
Speaker 13: Answer ALL i know is that you know we're trying
Speaker 13: To i'm trying, to you, know give him the best
Speaker 13: opportunity to be as healthy as possible so he can
Speaker 13: help us on both ends of the.
Speaker 2: Baseball, yeah this goes back to what we've seen at
Speaker 2: The dodgers over the course of the, years giving certain
Speaker 2: pitchers breaks so they're ready to go For. October SO
Speaker 2: i feel, like obviously this is necessitated by the bicep
Speaker 2: and the, knee but it is a, break a pitching
Speaker 2: break For. Otani So i'm not ready to say that
Speaker 2: he's not going to pitch again the rest of the.
Speaker 2: Year WOULD i be broken hearted if he didn't pitch. Again,
Speaker 2: No The dodgers need him to be the leadoff hitter
Speaker 2: that we saw, tonight Causing havoc being a force the
Speaker 2: very first batter of the game leading off tonight for
Speaker 2: the twentieth time with a home run as A. Dodger
Speaker 2: that's who they. Need but he's a dominant pitcher as.
Speaker 2: Well So i'm not ready to, say you, KNOW i
Speaker 2: don't want to see that guy, again BECAUSE i. DO
Speaker 2: i think he could be a. Factor but here's the bottom.
Speaker 2: Line we won't know the severity Of otani's, Bicep otani's,
Speaker 2: knee or whether or not The dodgers plan on Pitching
Speaker 2: otani the rest of the season until after the trade.
Speaker 2: Deadline we won't know the severity Of Will smith's neck
Speaker 2: and whether or not he'll play again until after the trade.
Speaker 2: Deadline why Because Andrew friedman does not want that information
Speaker 2: out so it could be used as leverage against, him
Speaker 2: depending on whether or not he's going after a trek
Speaker 2: school bol or some sort of veteran backup. Catcher and
Speaker 2: a veteran backup catcher THAT i would love to have
Speaker 2: a local kid From. Lakewood The dodgers had him for
Speaker 2: two days back in what twenty twenty, One Travis darnaut
Speaker 2: who's working his way back from planar. Fasciitis i'd love
Speaker 2: to Have Travis darnaut as an insurance. Policy but we
Speaker 2: won't know all that and how severe the injury To
Speaker 2: otani the picture is Or Will smith's neck until after
Speaker 2: the trade. Deadline mark my words eight six six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy is the phone Number dodgers
Speaker 2: fall to The mariners, tonight seven to. Six let's go
Speaker 2: out To tommy In. Riverside you're On Dodger. Talk how you, Doing?
Speaker 7: Tommy, Hey dave just wanted to bring Up Kyle sucker.
Speaker 7: AGAIN i, KNOW i believe a couple of collars ago
Speaker 7: they were talking about pinch hitting For Kyle tucker or
Speaker 7: something like. That, YEAH i get that he's being paid
Speaker 7: sixty million dollars a, year but when you're going and
Speaker 7: trying to make a run In, october at the end
Speaker 7: of the, day it's going to come down to. Production
Speaker 7: AND i feel, like you, know there's still three years
Speaker 7: or so With kyle that we have after this. Year
Speaker 7: BUT i was, THINKING i, mean once, again it's gonna,
Speaker 7: predicting it's going to Be Keith hernandez coming back around
Speaker 7: and polishing his name And dodger posts us in history,
Speaker 7: again AND i feel Like, Kyle i'm Confident Kyle sucker
Speaker 7: can definitely bounce, back just like kind of HOW i
Speaker 7: guess he's in my comparison is kind of the the
Speaker 7: offensive person Of Canner, scott how he was in his first.
Speaker 7: Year year just didn't work out for him last, year
Speaker 7: But Sanner scott has really turned it, around AND i
Speaker 7: feel like that's how it to be with Cal tucker this.
Speaker 2: Year All, Right, Well i'll say, This, TOMMY i think
Speaker 2: we can't ignore the fact That Andy paz struggled the
Speaker 2: second half of last year and struggled mightily in the
Speaker 2: postseason last, year and he's only hitting two twenty five
Speaker 2: since the beginning Of. June so for all those people
Speaker 2: that want to make room for key k A hernandez
Speaker 2: or you, know anybody else in left field and Trade Teoscar,
Speaker 2: hernandez let's not forget how Clutch Taoscar hernandez has been
Speaker 2: in each of the back to back. RUNS i WOULDN'T
Speaker 2: i kind of feel Like Key hernandez may be needed
Speaker 2: in center field with the Way piz has been swinging the,
Speaker 2: bat and until he could prove he can be An october,
Speaker 2: PLAYER i Think Keyk hernandez may have a chance to
Speaker 2: play in center.
Speaker 3: Field but all of that will be worked out by.
Speaker 2: Performance but what upset me yesterday is WHEN i started
Speaker 2: to Hear Taoscar hernandz is his name out. THERE i
Speaker 2: think everybody has a real short memory that Without Taoscar
Speaker 2: hernandez is go ahead three run home run off Of
Speaker 2: Matt strom And. Philly last, year The dodgers don't even
Speaker 2: get to THE. Nlcs Without Taioscar hernandez's game tying double
Speaker 2: In game five of the twenty Four World, series The
Speaker 2: dodgers don't Even you may not even win That World.
Speaker 2: Series and let's not forget his Inspiring Grand slam In
Speaker 2: San diego as, well and the sunflower seeds and the
Speaker 2: impact he has On Andy pa has so for, ME
Speaker 2: i think that's what upset me the most. YESTERDAY i
Speaker 2: am firmly against trading Taoscar. Hernandez let this season play
Speaker 2: out and let's see what happens during the. Offseason Like
Speaker 2: i've said, Before, tommy you can't Spell october Without.
Speaker 3: Tao.
Speaker 14: Yeah, no WHEN i saw those trade, RUMMERS i was
Speaker 14: definitely scratching my head a little.
Speaker 2: BIT i, mean, Hey, Tucker, tucker it's one hundred games.
Speaker 2: In maybe this is his, Season, TOMMY i, mean maybe
Speaker 2: this is his. Season maybe he comes up with one
Speaker 2: big base. Hit BUT i don't see it drastically turning.
Speaker 2: Around he has just got to figure out a way
Speaker 2: to help the team win every, night and tonight he
Speaker 2: did not do that on the.
Speaker 14: Basis, yeah AND i feel like in the, POSTSEASON i
Speaker 14: feel like the mindset you were talking about that kind
Speaker 14: of carried with him for the rest of the game
Speaker 14: can't really translate Into.
Speaker 7: OCTOBER i don't want to take too much of your,
Speaker 7: time BUT i also did want to bring up one more.
Speaker 14: Thing you were addressing The mariners Closer Andres munos As Anthony.
Speaker 12: Munos, oh, yes.
Speaker 2: Sorry that's the FORMER usc offensive lineman right, There, Tommy my.
Speaker 12: Bad, NO i Mean i'm only, eighteen SO i don't
Speaker 12: really know who that.
Speaker 3: Is but, yeah you're only, eighteen you sound like you're.
Speaker 3: FIFTY i get that a.
Speaker 2: Lot thanks all, Right, tommy thank you for the phone
Speaker 2: call corrections and. Retractions Andres, munno who has had a
Speaker 2: not so great year, either so apologies to. Him eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone NUMBER i.
Speaker 3: Know Edwin.
Speaker 2: Diaz Edwin, diaz The dodger, closer is going to be activated.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow so The dodgers Got Key hernandez back. Today they're
Speaker 2: getting back Ed Edwin diaz tomorrow to be their. Closer
Speaker 2: And Blake trinan is on his way. Back he's got
Speaker 2: to do some rehab appearances to really get going to
Speaker 2: be ready to go for major league, games so he's
Speaker 2: on the horizon as. Well so The dodgers are getting
Speaker 2: a lot of players back here in the next two
Speaker 2: to three. Weeks there's just certain guys that are big
Speaker 2: impact players that are are somewhat of a question mark
Speaker 2: to us publicly right. Now first and Foremost Will, smith
Speaker 2: and still a mystery on whether or not he is
Speaker 2: going to play again this. Year still a mystery of
Speaker 2: exactly what his injury. Is and that's why you, Know
Speaker 2: i'm thinking about a guy Like Travis. Darno everybody's coming
Speaker 2: up with these different. Things and you, know by the,
Speaker 2: way as far as the catching, Goes Shay, langaliers who injured,
Speaker 2: himself is out by tearing a meniscus in one of his.
Speaker 2: Knees my understanding is The rays are being very, aggressive
Speaker 2: or not Only schooball And louis arrives before a. Catcher
Speaker 2: my understanding is they were this close to Acquiring Shay
Speaker 2: langaliers before he got. Injured everybody was talking about Where
Speaker 2: Shaye langaliers was. Going my sources told me it was
Speaker 2: almost a done deal That langaliers was going to The.
Speaker 2: Rays Now Tampa bay is looking for another, catcher whether
Speaker 2: That's Tyler stevenson or maybe being a bidding war with
Speaker 2: The yankees For Ryan. Jeffers eight sixty six seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone. Number let's set out to our,
Speaker 2: Guy Jose.
Speaker 1: Mota it's tough to go around the horn With Jose.
Speaker 2: Mota all, Right, jose you heard from show He, otani
Speaker 2: you heard From Dave. Roberts what do you make about
Speaker 2: the chances Of otani pitching again this?
Speaker 12: SEASON i think you will pitch. AGAIN i believe that
Speaker 12: everything that's happening right now, it's you, know part of the.
Speaker 12: PLAN i know that they want, show, hey and everybody
Speaker 12: wants show to be you, know at a point with
Speaker 12: his arm where he's not forcing one thing and then hurting,
Speaker 12: another and we know how much the bottom affects the.
Speaker 12: Top but you, KNOW i like the way of the.
Speaker 12: Show it came out cleanly and said it's it's not
Speaker 12: the knee, only it's it's the. Biceps you don't want
Speaker 12: to be messing around with a guy that has had
Speaker 12: two surgers for his. Elbow bicyles is attached to the
Speaker 12: top and the, bottom so right in the middle with
Speaker 12: the elbow up to your, shoulder so there's no need
Speaker 12: to push that. Show he is, actually you, know as we,
Speaker 12: say keeping the arm active and, alive because there's obviously
Speaker 12: a chance that this is gonna you, know get through
Speaker 12: and he's gonna be able to pitch, Again so the
Speaker 12: basic thing today was the fact that we saw him
Speaker 12: on his left, knee standing and pushing back the way he.
Speaker 12: Can so that's the start on the offensive. Side AND
Speaker 12: i think from that, day because he feels a little
Speaker 12: bit stronger maybe today with the rest yesterday or whatever
Speaker 12: it was or, treatment that that'll be also a factor
Speaker 12: in him coming back and getting back to throwing those.
Speaker 12: Bullpens they need him on the, Mountain.
Speaker 2: Yeah they definitely do as they get closer To. October
Speaker 2: we saw what kind of guy he could be on
Speaker 2: the mound last. Year as far as tonight's game, goes
Speaker 2: the base running left a lot to be desired in
Speaker 2: the third and fourth innings of tonight's. Game what do
Speaker 2: you make of the Bad reid rushing god and Obviously
Speaker 2: Dino ebol Sending Kyle, tucker but him putting the brakes on.
Speaker 12: Himself, well he made a good point about when you
Speaker 12: know a young, catcher even a young, player has been
Speaker 12: exposed to this top of this level of baseball ever
Speaker 12: and now he's doing it an everyday, basis which is
Speaker 12: a case without. Rushing there's no excuse. There you have to,
Speaker 12: know first of, all you get to a base, first,
Speaker 12: second or, third in between, pitches not when you get.
Speaker 12: There in between, Pitches look where your outfielders, are just
Speaker 12: like they tell, you, know when your second, Base look
Speaker 12: where your shorts up. Is when you get double up
Speaker 12: on a line, drive same, thing and then you know
Speaker 12: that if he catches a, ball you're still gonna have
Speaker 12: a chance to go halfway and go tag. Up, Okay
Speaker 12: so it's a mistake by. Rushing the game's kind of
Speaker 12: getting a little bit fast sometimes on the basis it
Speaker 12: seems like these base running things are coming in bunches
Speaker 12: going back To philadelphia And New york or, whatever and
Speaker 12: then you know you have to be a bit better than.
Speaker 9: That.
Speaker 12: Now On Kyle, tucker there's absolutely again no. Excuse you
Speaker 12: are not the. Coach you don't make that. Decision you
Speaker 12: are being sent. Home you go. Home there's no reason
Speaker 12: for you to just put on the brakes or cruise
Speaker 12: into a base without being aware of what was happening
Speaker 12: in the entire. Time Because, dave no matter What Galla
Speaker 12: lewisk is toee, you as hard as he was hit,
Speaker 12: today he should have been you, know he should have
Speaker 12: got way more. Runs AND i think he was left
Speaker 12: off hook a couple of times by that base, running
Speaker 12: and then so the other time was With Tommy edman
Speaker 12: who was actually being stopped and was running with his
Speaker 12: head down and luckily he picked you up on tom
Speaker 12: because you don't move down the line because that would
Speaker 12: have been another disastrous. Play so there's some thing going
Speaker 12: on with the base running That i'm glad they're coming
Speaker 12: up now because with teams that you're going to be,
Speaker 12: facing hopefully you, know later in the year and heading
Speaker 12: hopefully Into october in the, playoffs those things are going
Speaker 12: to be. Bigger and the more they come up now
Speaker 12: in the regular, season the more you're able to accentuate
Speaker 12: and just understand who they. Are but it really comes
Speaker 12: down to the. Basics you have to become your own,
Speaker 12: coach and until that, happens you've got to listen to your,
Speaker 12: coach but be aware of the game, situation who's sitting behind.
Speaker 12: You sometimes you make a decision saying who's coming. UP
Speaker 12: i cannot be too aggressive or too, passive and who's
Speaker 12: running in front of? Me all those things come to.
Speaker 12: More but the basic thing is to get to the
Speaker 12: base and know exactly where y'all feelers are and make
Speaker 12: the best decision based on that listening to your coach, too.
Speaker 2: All, right speaking of the most workload you've ever had
Speaker 2: in a, Season Justin robleski is doing that right. Now
Speaker 2: he's at one hundred and well and two thirds innings
Speaker 2: on the. SEASON i guess if you're going to make
Speaker 2: the case for The dodgers acquiring A Trek, schouble.
Speaker 3: That would be another.
Speaker 2: One not only the questions Around, otani but the Workload
Speaker 2: robleski has had the. Shoulder what do you make of
Speaker 2: what you saw tonight and how much do we have
Speaker 2: to be concerned about the workload moving?
Speaker 12: Forward, well for this way this season he came into
Speaker 12: having made fifteen and twenty four. Pitches last season he
Speaker 12: made one thousand and ninety two. Pitches And i'm talking
Speaker 12: only about the regular. Season that's a. Lot these they're
Speaker 12: not easy innings that you're throwing in the minor leagues
Speaker 12: and now there's easy down. There but there's no comparison
Speaker 12: by throwing three innings in the big leagues and throwing
Speaker 12: five in the minor. Leagues this just doesn't. Compare and For,
Speaker 12: robleski if, anything today and he's very very aggressive, pitcher
Speaker 12: he was to me affected by the fact that he's
Speaker 12: going way too, fast arms not catching up with the. Body,
Speaker 12: mechanically he was not. Sound and then you're talking about
Speaker 12: a team does aggressive for the home. Run The mariners
Speaker 12: came in tied with the. Rest it's the most amount
Speaker 12: percentage of run score via home run because they attack,
Speaker 12: early and when they hit home, runs they. Score if they,
Speaker 12: DON'T i mean they. Win if they, don't they actually
Speaker 12: don't win ball. Game so combination of just being too,
Speaker 12: fast bad, locations and a very aggressive team that wants
Speaker 12: to jump on you, early it's pretty much with the
Speaker 12: strike thrower, day perfect formula for you to, Go we're
Speaker 12: going to get this guy, early go out through an,
Speaker 12: attack and from there on they just built on the
Speaker 12: next guys coming up and not missing those balls that
Speaker 12: were carrying so well today at the unicole field Of Dollar.
Speaker 2: Stadium SO i guess you're saying there should be some
Speaker 2: concern about the workload moving.
Speaker 12: Forward, yes there's some, turn and we know it going
Speaker 12: back to the last start when they're pull them out
Speaker 12: for eighty nine. Pitches but you can overcome that by
Speaker 12: being even more studious and picky in detail about your.
Speaker 12: Opponent AND i think changing the pace of the ambassaday
Speaker 12: against The mariners would have been one of the biggest
Speaker 12: things to. Me pitch selection and know that you've got
Speaker 12: to continue to attack the, zone matter if you're tired or,
Speaker 12: not if you've been through these waters before or. Not
Speaker 12: BUT i think changing the pay For robleski is one
Speaker 12: thing that in talking to opposing hitters and even, scouts
Speaker 12: sometimes he's going very fast in certain teams is very,
Speaker 12: beneficial but going too fast against The, mariners it just
Speaker 12: didn't pay off that. Way but for, sure anytime you
Speaker 12: get into these kind of situations and this deep with young,
Speaker 12: pitching you got to be able to be, concerned take
Speaker 12: care of. Him but nonetheless know that at any given,
Speaker 12: point all the big, pictures all famers went through the
Speaker 12: same thing when they made a big, jump and what
Speaker 12: they did is the mental side of everything to care.
Speaker 2: The, rest all, right jose Justin robleski very, prepared very
Speaker 2: much on the mental. Side so we'll see how that works.
Speaker 2: Out maybe it was the rig kleats and the reg glove,
Speaker 2: tonight maybe that was the.
Speaker 12: Issue, no, well you, KNOW i never. Know he's gonna
Speaker 12: make you make better. Pictures you and that ball game
Speaker 12: you're on the basis better you and that ball. Game
Speaker 12: so a combination of things just didn't work. Tonight that's all.
Speaker 3: All, Right.
Speaker 2: Jose we'll see you out here tomorrow. Night don't forget It's.
Speaker 2: Wednesday tomorrow Is. Wednesday it feels like A, friday but
Speaker 2: it's A Wednesday tomorrow like A.

Speaker 3: Number before we say good.
Speaker 2: NIGHT i want to share with you What Keyk hernandez
Speaker 2: had to say to us before the, game because it's
Speaker 2: been a long season For KEY k coming back from
Speaker 2: mob season left elbow surgery and then two games in
Speaker 2: his first batting practice before his first, game he strains his.
Speaker 3: Oblique so he is.
Speaker 2: Active he was safe and sound after batting practice, today
Speaker 2: so that's a first win of the season For Key.
Speaker 3: K he went THROUGH, vp did not strain or hurt.
Speaker 2: Anything AND i asked, him you, know after all that,
Speaker 2: happened he was so excited to come. Back finds out
Speaker 2: he's got A grade three oblique. Strain how did he
Speaker 2: pick himself up and try to force his way back through.
Speaker 2: Rehab here's what he told us about.
Speaker 15: That, honestly on a car ride back after THE, mri
Speaker 15: WHEN i was sitting in traffic AND i got the
Speaker 15: text From thomas AND I i'm not a doctor or,
Speaker 15: anything BUT i THINK i experienced my first panic attack
Speaker 15: or anxiety attack AS i was, driving and you, KNOW
Speaker 15: i sitting in. TRAFFIC i had to call my wife
Speaker 15: AND i could barely, talked BUT i was, like, look
Speaker 15: this is what. HAPPENED i don't know what's going on
Speaker 15: with my. Body Maybe i'm too, old but just hearing
Speaker 15: her call me, DOWN i took a couple of deep
Speaker 15: brass AND i was good to.
Speaker 9: Go BUT i.
Speaker 15: DID i JUST i did the two months before, that
Speaker 15: AND i just, realized you, know what all you can do,
Speaker 15: is you, know take it one day at a, time
Speaker 15: and the best way that you can take things one
Speaker 15: day at a time, is you, know focusing on what
Speaker 15: you can do on today to get. Better and that's
Speaker 15: WHAT i. DID i thought about. TODAY i wasn't really
Speaker 15: thinking about how far along or anything like. THAT i
Speaker 15: was just literally going one day at a time and
Speaker 15: trying to be the best REHEVER i. Could and then
Speaker 15: during the, GAME i was trying to be the best
Speaker 15: team made THAT i. Could and it, honestly you, Know
Speaker 15: i've only had four, Bats i've only played two, games
Speaker 15: and it's been a really long. Time i've spent a
Speaker 15: lot of time on the, il but it's honestly gone
Speaker 15: by somewhat. Fast so you, Know i'm feel pretty good
Speaker 15: and happy to see WHAT i can do out on the.
Speaker 2: Field he is a great example if you commit yourself
Speaker 2: to the rehab, process if you follow what the trainers
Speaker 2: and doctors, say you can speed up the process so
Speaker 2: you can find a way to come. Back and a
Speaker 2: lot of guys would not have had the mental toughness
Speaker 2: That kei k had to pick himself back up and
Speaker 2: figure it out to win each and every.
Speaker 3: Day he.
Speaker 2: Said he leaned on, cryotherapy stem, cells all those things
Speaker 2: to assist in the, recovery and here he is ready
