<v Speaker 2>you're at the beach, you're at a lake, you're by

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>a pool, you're at the air conditioning just trying to

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 2>get out of the heat.

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't blame you.

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>It's a scorcher out there on this Sunday afternoon. Is

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>the heat is officially here in late August, just in

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 2>time for all the kids to go back to school,

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>as it is heating up this week. So stay cool

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>wherever you're at, make sure you're hydrating. If you're at

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger stadium, please please cool off and get some

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>fluids in you. Because it was a scorcher out there

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>at at Uniclow Field, the Dodger Stadium. But the Dodgers

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 2>red hot as well. They've now won six in a row.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.200
<v Speaker 2>A three game sweep of the Rockies turned into a

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>three game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. And we kind

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.840
<v Speaker 2>of laughed going into this weekend set, at least I did,

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and I mentioned it here on Dodger Talk. You know,

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>you get a three game series against Pittsburgh, and if

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>you're the Pirates, you're looking at who the probables are, Okay.

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 6>Who we face and what's the game plan?

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's going to be our our our you know,

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 2>our strategy going to this series against this Dodger pitching staff.

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 7>All right?

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 6>Who they got going?

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh they got Yamamoto, they got school Ball, and they

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 2>got Blake Snell.

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 6>Oh Okay, that seems very fair.

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you look at what the Dodgers throughout this

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates and what those starting pitchers

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 2>did in these three games, I mean, this is what

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>we expected. Yamamota, Schooble, and Snell combined for twenty six strikeouts,

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>five walks in over nineteen innings of work. Gave up

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>five earned runs, and out of those five, three came

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>in the first inning yesterday against Trek scoubl who then

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 2>really bare it down and put up zeros the rest

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 2>of the way. The Dodgers bullpen put up zero's the

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way. Today, Blake Snell put up zeros

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>combined with three relievers for a two hit shutout. And

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 2>you go back after those three games, those three runs

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>scored yesterday, the Dodgers' pitching staff has seventeen scoreless innings

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>pitched against the Pittsburgh Pirates. That's how dominant they were

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>against this Pirates offense, which is no slouch. It's a

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>top five offense in baseball. Rick Monday mentioned that several

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>times over the weekend, you can't you can't look at

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>this Pirates team and say, wow, not a winning record,

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>not a very good team. Their offense will prove you

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 2>otherwise that's a really good Pittsburgh Pirates offense. But what

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers' pitching staff put on display this weekend, from

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the bullpen to Tanner Scott to the Dodger starters in school,

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>will Yamamoto and today Blake Snell.

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 6>This is the.

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodger team we thought we see now certainly still missing

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith and he pot has the hand injury and

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>the surgery is a huge break, no pun intended for

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers for the next four to five weeks. But

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 2>you feel good overall about what THEIRS Dodger team is

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>at and what they're capable of. And again I mentioned

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 2>in the clubouse show back to back days in which

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>you didn't get a base.

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 6>Hit from show Hey Otani in the leadoff spot.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>But back to back days you still pick up victories

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 2>and say it's a four nothing shutout. Why because Otani

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.040
<v Speaker 2>can get on another ways. A leadoff walk in the

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>first comes all the way around to score on the

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 2>ground ball double play that Mookie Betts hit into in

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the first inning, so he can provide

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 2>other ways. The Dodgers bottom half of the lineup providing

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>six seven, eight, nine hitters getting on base today with

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>two outs, a little magic from Alec Thomas to the

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 2>eight hitter and RBI single, Hunter Fidusha the nine hitter

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and RBI single. So you put up a two spot

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth inning, you give Blake Snell a little

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>bit more cushion and three to nothing lead to work with.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Where did that offense come from the bottom of the lineup?

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey RBI ground out In the fifth inning, you

0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>manufacture another run to give Blake Snell on this pitching

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 2>staff and bullpen a four nothing lead to work with.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>So this is kind of how you drew it up

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.159
<v Speaker 2>when you looked at the Dodgers to start the season. Now,

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>has it been pretty, it's been up, it's been down, certainly.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 2>All we got to do is go back a week

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>ago and we're sitting here talking about the Dodgers losing

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 2>three to four to the Milwaukee Brewers. We're talking about

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 2>a four and three homestand we're talking about a Dodgers

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>team that's falling behind the Milwaukee Brewers and have the

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves right there neck and neck as far as

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the top two spots in the National League, sky was.

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 6>Falling into world. What are we going to do?

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are done, break up the team, pump the brakes

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, get to Colorado, take care of a

0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Rockies team in three games, and then come back and

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 2>in a three game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, absolutely

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>dominate them with pitching and get good hitting up and

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>down the lineup, production from pretty much everybody top to

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>bottom in this lineup, even Kyle Tucker providing hits yesterday,

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>a hit today, Freddie Freeman, mister consistent, two more bass

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 2>hits today again, shoe hail Tani doesn't have a hit

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 2>to show for his offense today, but a leadoff walk

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>in the first and guess what, Steel's second base and

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 2>comes all the way around to score in the first

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 2>inning for the first run of the game. So he

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 2>can provide other things besides just hitting bombs eight six,

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 2>six nine, eight seven two five seventy. You look at

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>this whole win today, you look at this series. You

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 2>look at this six game winning streak. I get it,

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>it's against the Pirates and the Rockies, but you gotta

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>beat these teams, and you're supposed to sweep these series.

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.719
<v Speaker 2>And these were get right series. First with the Colorado

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Rockies and against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yeah, they didn't face

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skins, but they got Jared Jones yesterday. I mean,

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>he's a really good young right hander out of here

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>in southern California. So you had to face him, you

0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>had to face a really good Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen that

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>you eventually got to in wore down in what turned

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 2>out to be a bullpen game today for Pittsburgh. So

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers did a really good job of doing what

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 2>they're supposed to do, collect wins against teams you're supposed

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>to beat. And now comes the next hurdle, the next

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 2>test in the Atlanta Braves. And you look what the

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves are doing right now. They're not playing the

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 2>best of baseball. They're actually in Sunday Night baseball right

0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 2>now in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the Little League Classic that's

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 2>taking place. It's the Sunday Night during the Little League

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 2>World Series. They're in West Pennsylvania and it's two teams

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 2>that go and play the Sunday Night baseball game there.

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>And they played at one of the oldest stadiums in

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.919
<v Speaker 2>the country, old Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowmen Field.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 6>They're in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>By the way, it's like the second oldest operating ballpark

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 2>in minor league baseball going back one hundred years. It

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 2>only seats like twenty four hundred fans and it's all

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>little leaguers there from across the world participating in the

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Little League World Series. Getting to watch the Brewers and

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>the Braves play a regular season game, it's kind of cool.

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I know it's a long haul for both these teams

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>to get there to play one game, but it's pretty

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 2>cool experience for everybody involved to go play in that game.

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 2>So we'll keep an eye on what's happening in that

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>game because that's got some bearing on what happens with

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers as far as the top record in the

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 2>National League concerning the Braves are up one to nothing

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>over the Brewers in the second inning, but the Brewers

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>as we speak, eighty one and forty nine Dodgers eighty

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 2>and fifty one Dodgers a game and a half back

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>of Milwaukee for the best record in baseball, in the

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>best record in the National League, which would be huge

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers to have. They've also separated themselves now

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>four plus games ahead of the Atlanta Braves for the

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 2>second spot, so they've got some separation between two and

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 2>three there and home field in the wild card and

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>not having to play the opening round. So it's big

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>to get one of these two top spots in the

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>National League seedings. And the Dodgers right now are putting

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>themselves in a good position by winning games they're supposed

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>to beating teams they're supposed to and now against you

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.200
<v Speaker 2>gotta take care of business. This is a series Tuesday,

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday and Thursday. The Dodgers have to win the series.

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 2>This would be a backbreaker for Atlanta. A team that's

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 2>going into today lost two in a row, seven of

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>their last ten, and.

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 6>It's got a Cubs team that's red hot.

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 2>They just score to what nineteen runs against the Mariners today,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Pca hit his thirty third on run. You got the

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Phillies for the hottest team in baseball, have won nine

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>in a row and don't look now, they're right back

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>in the race of the National League.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 6>So you've got teams.

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Now nipping on the heels of the Atlanta Braves, who

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 2>are sitting as the third seed in the National League.

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers have a firm hold of the second seed,

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>right behind the Milwaukee Brewers going in into Atlanta. Taking

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.679
<v Speaker 2>two to three would be a wreck for the Braves.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 2>To sweep that series would be disaster for them. But

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.319
<v Speaker 2>if the Dodgers lose the series or get swept themselves,

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, that cushion has gone and the

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Braves and the teams right behind them are all right behind.

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 6>The Dodgers for the second spot in the National League.

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 2>So we're starting to tighten the belt a little bit

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 2>here with five weeks to go in the Sea, and

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 2>every game is important. But we all know when you

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>get less and less games on the calendar, you start

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 2>checking off games and you start looking at what's left

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and it gets smaller and smaller. As far as games

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>still to be played, every game gets magnified. Every game

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>means more moving forward because of what you can and

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 2>can't do in the standings, as far as moving up

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.719
<v Speaker 2>or down and creating separation. Eight six, six, nine eighty

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy d Dodgers Baseball is brought to

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.679
<v Speaker 2>you by Medello Medello, the mark of a Fighter. The

0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers a four to nothing win over the pirates today.

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's get out to the phones. Thanks for being patient, Ryan,

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Was it Dodger Stadium today, Ryan, Hopefully you're hydrated and

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>you're nice and cool in the car already.

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 8>Oo hot?

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 9>Man.

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 8>I feel bad for those players, But it was the

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 8>very first trip for my eight year old Eli to

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 8>come to Dodger Stadium. I made the mistake a couple

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 8>of years ago. We live in Orange County. I took

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 8>her to an Angels game. It was terrible. She was like,

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 8>I hate baseball. It was so boring. Today it was

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 8>a totally different experience. The energy, the people, the four

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.360
<v Speaker 8>nothing win was incredible and for good luck. When we

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.080
<v Speaker 8>got there, she won a free spell bobblehead and then

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 8>got to see him absolutely dominate. And man, I can't

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 8>talk highly enough about him. He's incredible. So anytime we

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 8>want some free tickets from you guys, anytime you're giving

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 8>free tickets, I'm game. Just she had a great experience.

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Awesome, Ryan, that's great parenting by you to overcome the

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Angel game and take her to a Dodger GAF.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate the phone call.

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Keep listening, as we're always giving away Dodger tickets here

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk and of course on a five to

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.359
<v Speaker 2>seventy LA Sports, your home.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.359
<v Speaker 6>Of the Dodgers.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Mark in Torrance is next up. Thanks for being patient, Mark,

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Dodger Talk. After the Dodgers finished off the

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 2>sweep of the Pirates.

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.560
<v Speaker 10>How you doing, Oh, I'm doing great.

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 5>Say I've been to fans in nineteen fifty nine and

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 5>saw the Dodgers play in the coliseum, so I've been

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 5>around a while. So anyway, in June, I called David

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 5>Bassa and I asked him if he at that time

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 5>if he had a projected final account for the win

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 5>games for the regular season. He guessed ninety five. I

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 5>did atistical analysis and came up with one hundred and one.

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 5>I've adjusted that since probably that like ninety five ninety six.

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just wondering if you guys had your own

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 5>thoughts about what a final number of wins might be

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 5>for the season.

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're at eighty and fifty one right now, and

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing my own math here, just on a calculator. Though, Mark,

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm as smart as you. They're thirty one games to

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>go in the season. Let's say they win. Let's say

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>they go just a game over five hundred. Let's say

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.000
<v Speaker 2>they go sixteen in fifteen during that stretch. We hope

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 2>that's way better than that. But let's just say it's,

0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, game over five hundred. So what's eighty plus sixteen.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't a math major, of course, but eighty plus sixteen,

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>of course.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 6>Is ninety six.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.280
<v Speaker 2>So, you know, looking at ninety six wins in my estimation,

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 2>was the worst case. If they basically play five hundred

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>ish baseball the final thirty.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:56.680
<v Speaker 6>One games of the season.

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Anything more than that, you're looking at close to one hundred,

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 2>if not north of one hundred.

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 6>I think that's very reasonable, right.

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 5>I agree, I agree?

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, Mark.

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 11>Today, thank you?

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 6>He was great. He was absolutely great, Mark, thank you

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 6>for the phone call.

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell was fantastic to have all his pitches working

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>or herscheiser mentioned it on Sports in LA. The curveball

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>was devastating. The slider, especially to the right handed hitters.

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 2>That just was Clayton Kershaw esque if you wanted, just

0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>a great description of what it looked like on the radio,

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 2>just diving into the back foot of the right handed hitters.

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 2>He had the fastball in all quadrants in out up, down.

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.079
<v Speaker 6>And when you're.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Throwing ninety seven like Blake Snell was today, and you're

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 2>throwing fastball outside, fastball up, and you come back with

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 2>a curveball, it's so devastating. And then you come back

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>with a slider and maybe you get a swing and

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>miss and you're heading the count and then you pump

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven again up and out of the strike zone.

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 2>You're getting a swing and miss and he's just swinging

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.080
<v Speaker 2>over the underneath it.

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 6>It's hard.

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean that ninety seven looks like it's one hundred

0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 2>based on what you're throwing, the curveballs and the sliders

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and the change ups. I mean, I didn't even mention

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the change up. He was for the Pirates, hitters were

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 2>oh for sixteen against the fastballs and change ups today.

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>They were zero for ten against the fastball alone, with

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 2>five strikeouts. That is a dominating performance from Blake Snell today.

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>And again, three starts since coming back from the elbow surgery,

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>three starts. Every start he's gone six innings. He's got

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 2>an ERA of one over those three starts. That's eighteen innings.

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 5>Pitch.

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can do the math. Three starts, six innings

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>each that's eighteen innings, pitch twenty one strikeouts over those

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 2>eighteen innings, and he was fantastic again today.

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 6>So was the Dodgers bullpen.

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Enriquez, Stewart Vesia put up Zeros snell in the three relievers,

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 2>combining for a two hit shutout and a four nothing

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers win over the Pittsburgh Pirates eight six, six, nine

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy. Dan and Santa Monica, welcome

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:56.680
<v Speaker 2>to Dodger Talk on this Sunday afternoon.

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 6>How you doing, Dan.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 5>Good?

0:13:59.320 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 11>How are you doing?

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing good to try to stay cool. I imagine

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>buy the water in Santa Monica. You got a nice

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 2>little ocean breeze at least keep you somewhat cool.

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 9>Yes, yes, it feels nice, A little cooler here than

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 9>in Dodger Stadium today for sure. But Tim, my question

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 9>real quick. I saw m and she Hand today pitch

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 9>six shutout innings for Oklahoma City. The ZRA is like

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.480
<v Speaker 9>one forty six, so he seems to be pitching really

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 9>well at triple A. With the rosters expanding in another

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 9>seven ten days, is it possible the Dodgers might recall

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 9>m she Hands. Yeah, and you take care and have

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:40.920
<v Speaker 9>a great day, my friend.

0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 6>All right, Dan, great to hear your voice. Thank you

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 6>for the compliment. There, I do.

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I do think image Sheen is one of the call ups.

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 2>So what they expanded twenty eight when the September collups.

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not like you can just empty your minor leagues

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 2>anymore in baseball callups in September.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 6>That used to be the case. And he used to

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.480
<v Speaker 6>all of a sudden go from being you know, it

0:14:58.560 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 6>used to be a twenty.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Five man roster. Right now it's a twenty six man roster,

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 2>but it used to be September call ups. All of

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, you got like fifteen more dudes in the

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 2>dugout and it's just like spring training baseball all over again. Well,

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>major League Baseball tweaked that, so from a twenty five

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 2>man roster to a twenty six man roster and then

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 2>September you're able to get to a maximum of twenty

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 2>eight players. So the Dodgers can add two players to

0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 2>their roster come September in the expansion of the rosters

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 2>for the final month of the season, I would expect

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>eight arm or two to be called up by the Dodgers.

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 6>My preference. And this is just my preference.

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.280
<v Speaker 2>And again, I know there's a lot that goes into

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, bringing a guy to a forty man and

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, getting a call up late and you start

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the clock for his major league service time and all

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 2>that stuff. But maybe you bring up a pitcher like

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 2>an Image Shean, and you bring up a TIBs to

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 2>get him around the major league dugout, get him around

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>batting practice, get him around the day to day of

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 2>what it's like to be a big league ball player

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>at the major league level. You know, James Tims the

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 2>third might be a guy you call up. So you

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>bring up a position player and you bring up an arm.

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I think bringing up at least one arm is a

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.760
<v Speaker 2>no brainer. I think Immachean if he continues to pitch

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>like he did today and continue to show that he's

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe turned a corner. Absolutely, But let's be real, Imma

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Sheean's role is going to be just like Justin Robleski's

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>and Eric Lawer's role the rest of the season. They

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 2>are going to be piggyback guys and they need those

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>guys in the back end of the bullpen. That's not

0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>a slight by any means. Let's look at Tuesday. It's

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 2>just a great example. Tyler Glass now is coming back

0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>from injury. Now he's gone five innings in minor league

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>rehab starts in Triple A Oklahoma City. In theory, he

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>is stretched out, he is ready to go. He is

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 2>full throttle. Tyler Glass. Now on Tuesday, Okay, what happens

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>he gets into trouble. What happens is there's a high

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 2>pitch count, which we've seen before, God forbid, what happens

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>if the back tightens up again with some spats.

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:54.600
<v Speaker 6>There's a lot of what ifs?

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what if that happens on Tuesday the Dodgers all

0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, the first game of a bullpen of

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 2>a road trip, or forced to go to a bullpen

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 2>game when you've got an Eric Lower, which they're gonna

0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.719
<v Speaker 2>have there on Tuesday, ready to go, lined up and

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 2>can piggyback Tyler Glass now on Tuesday. I mean, you

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.440
<v Speaker 2>talk about the benefits of having depth, and you know,

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 2>the the abundance of pitchers that the Dodgers have and

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.800
<v Speaker 2>quality pitchers that can pitch that are starters.

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.880
<v Speaker 6>I mean, do you heard Blake Snell in the post game?

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 6>If you didn't.

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.439
<v Speaker 2>He sort of laughed when he was asked about the

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 2>three starting pitchers this weekend, himself, Terry Scuogle, and Yamamoto

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and what they're able to do. And then he said, yeah,

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.760
<v Speaker 2>well we got Glass coming on Tuesday, and he said,

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, show's coming back soon too.

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 6>I mean, shoey Otani's going to be back baby steps.

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Of course, an inning, two winnings, just like he did

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 2>when he came back a year ago. They're not going

0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>to throw him out there for five plus. It'll be

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 2>a slow ramp up when he makes those starts. So

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.679
<v Speaker 2>when he comes back in another week or so, the

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>same thing. You're gonna need somebody to an essence, be

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.360
<v Speaker 2>a piggyback. We're in shoe Heyo Tani's first outing will

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.320
<v Speaker 2>most likely be as an opener, pitch one inning and

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 2>then turn it over to a Robleski or a lour

0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.400
<v Speaker 2>or turn it over to an image she in Right now,

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Eric Lower's the guy because he's active, Robleski's not shim

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Shean's and triple A. So Eric Lower is the dude.

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Eric Lawer is that long inning guy who will piggyback

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Glass Now if need on Tuesday, and we'll find

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 2>out and he'll be in that role for the next

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.199
<v Speaker 2>couple of days and when called upon if they need

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 2>him in one of those games, he'll be ready to go.

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.840
<v Speaker 2>We got full confidence in Eric Lawer, who's been fantastic

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>since coming over from the Blue Jays and put into

0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the starring rotation. Eight six nine, eight seven two five seven.

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a time out, we'll come back. We'll get

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 2>to your phone calls. We'll hear from the manager, Dave

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Roberts as the Dodgers take care of the Pittsburgh Pirates

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 2>a four nothing shutout behind Blake Snells six shutout innings,

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.400
<v Speaker 2>he combines with three levers for a two hit shutout.

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>The bottom of the lineup delivers Alec Thomas, Hunter Fadusha

0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>back to back RBI singles in the fourth as the

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:01.840

<v Speaker 2>tremendous excuse me pitching matchup on Thursday in Atlanta. Eight

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.159
<v Speaker 2>six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is a number, Blake,

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>My guy in Colorado is next up here on Dodger Talk, Blake,

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 2>what's going on, buddy?

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Hi? How are you doing today?

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I am doing much better, Blake. We last talked that

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers were struggling. They went to Colorado, they won three

0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in a row. They feeling good about themselves and feeling

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.119
<v Speaker 2>even better now after this pitching performance. How about this

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodger pitching staff, Blake. You got Yamamoto on Friday against

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the Pirates, he was great. Then you had Trek Schoog,

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Well yesterday had a hiccup in the first, but he

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 2>was great and got the win. And then today six

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.600
<v Speaker 2>shutout inatings from Blake Snell. These guys are tremendous.

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they are really good.

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 13>Hopefully we could win another will series.

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 6>We will see, we will see.

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.439
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna get even more guys back with Tyler Glass

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 2>now on Tuesday mentioned show, Hey, Otani's gonna throw one

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 2>more bullpen in Atlanta, and then he could be back

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the next time around in the rotation and get his

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 2>first outing in the Big leagues for almost two months

0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>now since he threw in a game, So that'll be

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 2>fun to get him back, and certainly Eric Louer going

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen and maybe getting just Robleski back here soon.

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Things are really trending in the right direction. How about

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith's gonna start a rehab assignment on Tuesday in

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City, so you give him ten days down there

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 2>or so we're looking at the round September first, a

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 2>little after we could have Blake Snell or Will Smith back.

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, high happy Sunday, Mike. Question is if Alex Summons

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.240
<v Speaker 13>keep doing well when and he comes at and he

0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 13>comes back, what do we do with what do the

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 13>Dodgers do?

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:08.239
<v Speaker 5>Ye?

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 13>Also where what what where we do at the kess

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:16.639
<v Speaker 13>when Will Smith comes back?

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, those are both great questions. Blake, great to hear

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.840
<v Speaker 2>from you, my friend. Hope you're well and we'll talk soon.

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm back at it on Thursday after the finale of

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 2>the game in Atlanta.

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, talk to you Josey about it?

0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 7>All right?

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 6>Sounds good?

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they Dodgers are gonna have some questions when the

0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith comes back to do the catching every day

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 2>was a Hunter Producia is a Blake roart Ft at

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.879
<v Speaker 2>that point is one of those guys, the extra position

0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.479
<v Speaker 2>player in September when the call ups are brought up

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 2>and you're allowed to have twenty eight men on the roster.

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:47.959
<v Speaker 2>When they get to that bridge and have to cross it,

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 2>we'll find out. And certainly Andy pot Has is at

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 2>least a month, probably five to six weeks away from returning.

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm just guessing here, you're looking the last week of

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:00.720
<v Speaker 2>the season. Uh, if not the playoff for the return

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:01.560
<v Speaker 2>of Andy Paez.

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:02.280
<v Speaker 6>I mean he had a.

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Little bit of something to put into his wrist, whether

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:06.919
<v Speaker 2>it's a screw or a pin. I mean he's got

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 2>a rest. He's got to get that thing healed. You

0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:11.680
<v Speaker 2>can only drink so much milk to get those bones stronger.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 2>So our best, Andy Paes and a speedy recovery, and

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.439
<v Speaker 2>hopefully he can come back sooner rather than later. But

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:19.479
<v Speaker 2>you certainly hate to see him go out with a

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 2>broken hand. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven seventy is

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the number. Thanks to Blake for the phone call. Let's

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 2>go to dominic in Westwood Dominic, thanks for being patient.

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 10>How you doing today, I'm doing good.

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.040
<v Speaker 3>I need an ice bath right now. It is hot outside.

0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 6>It is a scorcher, that is for sure. I guess

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 6>it's a little cool. You got a little bit.

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Of the breeze there in in in Westwood.

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, we do, we do. But it's still perfect

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 3>for a nice bat. So I'll go take full advantage

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 3>of that one. I oh my god, I wanted to

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 3>call it. I just wanted to say Blake, he did

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 3>an awesome job. I know he's always tough on himself,

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 3>that he he got us out of the gym and

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 3>we got another sweep, but the second sleep in a row.

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 3>So I right now I'm watching the Atlanta Milwaukee Little

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.600
<v Speaker 3>League serious game, hoping Atlanta takes the win so we

0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 3>can take that first seed in the in the National League.

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, and I'm also I also just want to

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 3>say this to I am a hockey fans, and King's

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Night is coming up, and i just saw the Bailey

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 3>bobblehead and I'm just falling in love with it. So

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:26.879
<v Speaker 3>can't wait for the first. Can't wait for the first.

0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:29.439
<v Speaker 3>I also wanted to I don't I don't know if

0:24:29.480 --> 0:24:30.320
<v Speaker 3>I asked you this question.

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:30.879
<v Speaker 14>I think I did.

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry for being repetitive over it. Can I ask

0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:35.679
<v Speaker 3>you about the train horn question? Should we use a

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:38.560
<v Speaker 3>train horn for the home runs and game wins?

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 2>You didn't maybe you talked to Dave about that. But

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about the train horn. It doesn't really

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>fit LA right now. I think, you know, I love

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.360
<v Speaker 2>La getting a win. That makes sense, the home run,

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 2>the celebration, the music, people getting up, moving their bodies

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 2>around and celebrating the home run. I kind of like

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 2>it the way it is right now. I don't know

0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 2>if a train horn fits like a Colorado thing. It's

0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 2>not really it's a Pennsylvania thing.

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:04.160
<v Speaker 6>You know. It doesn't really.

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:08.119
<v Speaker 2>Fit fit you know, Dodger Stadium, and and I don't know.

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:10.160
<v Speaker 6>That's that's just how I feel. What do you think?

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:14.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of on the opposite end of it.

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:15.199
<v Speaker 6>I I do.

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.120
<v Speaker 3>I do love I Love La. Sorry that was a

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:21.560
<v Speaker 3>ton cluster there. I do like I love La, and

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 3>the King should use I Love La and bring it

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 3>back because they don't use it no more, and a

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 3>lot of Kings fans are still upset about that. But

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I will say having a train horn, maybe not every game,

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 3>but probably like for like library series, like San Diego,

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.280
<v Speaker 3>for example, so we can just hip off the Madre

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:46.239
<v Speaker 3>fans more a horse, yeah, but I was more of

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.120
<v Speaker 3>a let's use it all the games. But I would

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 3>be okay if we just use it for just library

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 3>games or some games. It doesn't have to be all

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 3>of them. But I'm honestly again, I'm a hockey fan,

0:25:57.920 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 3>and I like the train horn idea.

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 11>I get it.

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 6>I get it Dominic, and I appreciate the phone call.

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I I don't think it's more of an I don't

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 2>think it's an l A thing. I don't think it

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 2>fits Dodger Stadium, and the vibe there certainly fits.

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 11>You know.

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Again, to me, I think a train horning. Gonna think

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 2>of a hockey horn. My first thought goes to the

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Rockies in Denver. My first thought goes to Pittsburgh and

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:23.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, somewhere like that. This doesn't fit La, my

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:27.440
<v Speaker 2>opinion eight six, five seventy And again in LA, it's

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.000
<v Speaker 2>more of a king's hockey thing, and let's let them

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 2>enjoy that. The Dodgers get, you know, the home run celebration.

0:26:32.520 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 2>You get up and move your body around and have

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 2>a good time and celebrate a home run. And then

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:38.399
<v Speaker 2>when they win, we all play I Love La and

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 2>sing it. I think that's better fitting for the Dodgers.

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy. Don

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:46.399
<v Speaker 2>from the City of Industry, the Man with the Golden Pipes?

0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:50.199
<v Speaker 11>How you doing, Don, Kim the Great Kate? How are

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 11>you doing today, Buddy?

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it great. But I'm gonna ask you a question.

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you a question.

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 6>Don.

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Did you listen to Not Quite Ringside yesterday from nine

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 2>am to ten am our new box seen the show

0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 2>right here on five seventy LA Sports with a great

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 2>colony and Sammy Long.

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 6>It is a great listen. My friend.

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 2>They went to a boxing event last night in Santa Monica.

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 2>They're going to Vegas next month. They're at all the

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 2>big fights locally and in Vegas. You gotta check it out,

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>don I know? You love the Sweet Science.

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, well, you know, I was so tim I was

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 11>so set to watch it on Saturday morning. But I

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 11>got in late after being out and about on Friday,

0:27:26.040 --> 0:27:29.480
<v Speaker 11>and I literally fell asleep on my couch with the

0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 11>radio right next to me, and I woke up, you know,

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:35.639
<v Speaker 11>and it's like it was already over. I'm like, dang it,

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 11>you know that hates when I do that, So I'll

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 11>find a way to get some z's in before because

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.439
<v Speaker 11>I got to hear the show now it's like I

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 11>feel like Captain Ahab chasing the Great White Whale. But

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 11>I will, I will. I definitely want to watch it

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 11>because it's funny you mentioned that because you know, Tim

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 11>watch watching now this season the way it is, it

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.480
<v Speaker 11>reminds me of the old days with fighters when they

0:27:56.520 --> 0:28:00.159
<v Speaker 11>had tune up fights, you know, when you know if

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 11>you had a big fight coming up. I know Angelo

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 11>Dundee who trained Muhammad, Alisha, Gary Leonard, all those guys.

0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:08.200
<v Speaker 11>He was a genius at it. He'd find the guys

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:12.440
<v Speaker 11>before the big fight that had elements of the main guy,

0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:14.880
<v Speaker 11>but they might have this, they might have that, and

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 11>they picked the right sparring partners to get ready, so

0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:20.160
<v Speaker 11>when you got to that big fight, you were ready

0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:22.679
<v Speaker 11>to go. And I know it's different in team sports.

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 11>You have a schedule you can't pick. But it's so

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 11>neat to watch all them, you know, because I'm just

0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 11>a mug watching this stuff, you know. But I love

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 11>the machinations and who's in, who's out. Who's up, who's down,

0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 11>And it's just so great the way they built the

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 11>Dodgers with all the depth and first they go across

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 11>and fill all the holes. Now we go deep and

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:48.440
<v Speaker 11>so just having that great depth and everything, it's just

0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 11>so exciting. I have to kind of like take a

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 11>deep breath to keep from getting too pumped too early,

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 11>you know, because Mess, we're not at the big casino yet,

0:28:57.280 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 11>but we're getting there. We're chugging along.

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Bring that up, Don, and I appreciate the phone call.

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Great to hear from you again. As always, I'm glad

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you brought that up. The depth of this Dodgers team,

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know, tune up fights analogy with boxing, because

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, this Dodgers team has gone through injuries and

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 2>their death was tested at the pitching staff with the

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:17.040
<v Speaker 2>rotation and the relieving corps, and the depth at center

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:19.959
<v Speaker 2>field now being tested with Alec Thomas getting called up,

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 2>and that's a move that's gonna go under the radar.

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 2>He gets dfaded by the Arizona Diamondbacks early in the

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 2>season because he's struggling. It's got forty years experience, though

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues he's only twenty six years old,

0:29:29.440 --> 0:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>He's still got a lot of baseball life left in him,

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers take him when nobody else wanted him.

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 2>They put him in Triple A. He's talked about They

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 2>worked with some things on his swing, his defense. He

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:42.479
<v Speaker 2>feels way more confident the plate. He hits near three

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred down in Triple A, and Andy pa Has unfortunately

0:29:45.600 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 2>gets down with an injury that the hand broken hand.

0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:49.480
<v Speaker 2>He's on the IL now for the next five weeks.

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 2>And Alec Thomics gets called up and again nobody wanted

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:53.840
<v Speaker 2>him a few months ago.

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 6>Dfad by the Diamondbacks.

0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers find two of them, bring him up and

0:29:57.520 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 2>then back to back days since getting recalled and play

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. He has RBI singles, including today an

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.520
<v Speaker 2>RBI single in the fourth inning. They just push all

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the right buttons, and they just know guys that fit

0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 2>in perfectly to their system and can wait them out,

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 2>and then when their opportunity comes, they get called up

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Fradusia, Ben Rhardtvett, both guys traded away and sent

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 2>away last year. Not here in twenty twenty six, but

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 2>because of the injury to Will Smith and Dalton Rushing,

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 2>they go back and they go and they find Ben

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Roardvett in Triple A Syracuse with the Mets, bring them

0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodgers again. They go out and they bring

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 2>back Hunter Fradusia, who they had traded away. Because they're

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 2>familiar with the guys, they understand the system, they know

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.160
<v Speaker 2>the pitching coaches, they know the philosophies, they know how

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 2>to game plan. The Dodgers just push all the right buttons.

0:30:45.840 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 2>You can hate it all you want, you can say

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 2>they're getting away with it, and they spend this much

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 2>money and nobody else can compete with them.

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, whatever, But.

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 2>They also go out and they pick up the Eric

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Lauers of the world, Alec Thomas's of the world. You

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.920
<v Speaker 2>go back and they pick up the Maximuns, the Chris

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Taylor's of the world.

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 6>They do the.

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Things that other teams can't do, and that's develop and

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.440
<v Speaker 2>that's redefined players who maybe are down on their luck

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:12.200
<v Speaker 2>or just going through whatever rut they're going in in

0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>their baseball world, and they fix them. Eight six, six, nine,

0:31:15.440 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven, two five seventy. Eric in Hollywood, I know

0:31:18.240 --> 0:31:18.960
<v Speaker 2>where this is going.

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 6>How you doing, Eric Dodger?

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:29.160
<v Speaker 7>This shit, Kimmy the bullseye on the Dodgers' back is huge.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:33.080
<v Speaker 7>But the Pirates try to knock us down. Every game

0:31:33.200 --> 0:31:35.280
<v Speaker 7>was a good game, and that was a good game

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 7>for the Dodgers. I'm glad they had a team like

0:31:37.800 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 7>that that's hungry. The Pirates are hungry. They're trying to

0:31:40.720 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 7>beat us. You know, everybody's trying to beat us. Everybody's

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.400
<v Speaker 7>trying to put something on their mantle and say we

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:48.959
<v Speaker 7>beat the Dodgers. But the Dodgers swept them and they

0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 7>played really, really good, and that's great. That's what the

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 7>Dodgers need. The Dodgers need to band together and take

0:31:54.760 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 7>care of business. Now, as far as I got one

0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 7>thing to tell you, Timmy, and you're probably gonna you're

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 7>probably gonna get mad about this, but Tucker, man, what's

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:05.000
<v Speaker 7>up with this guy?

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 9>Bro?

0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 3>We gave him love.

0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 7>Everybody was showering him love Dodger Stadium, and his comments

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:12.960
<v Speaker 7>were like, I'm just trying.

0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 11>To play better and.

0:32:13.520 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 7>Blah blah blah, and come on, come on talk, come on,

0:32:17.400 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 7>come on, we're trying to help you out here. You

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:23.000
<v Speaker 7>know what I mean. Dodgers did it for Dodgers, did

0:32:23.040 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 7>it for bets. You're trying to do it for Tucker.

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 7>That kind of bothers me a little bit. I'll hear

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 7>that after I'm done. But last thing I want to

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 7>tell you, we need to go into Atlanta. We need

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 7>to take two out of three from them. We need

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 7>to let them know who the who's the boss. And

0:32:37.600 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm really really glad that glass Snow's back. That being said, Yo, Timmy,

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.240
<v Speaker 7>always a pleasure talking to you, bro.

0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 6>Always all right, appreciate it. Thank you, Eric.

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Great to hear from you, my friend. Eight six six seventy. Uh,

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 2>let's keep things going. Rick from Coast to Mesa's next

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 2>up on Dodger Talk. After a four outing shutout of

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 2>the Pittsburgh Pyrus, Dodgers have now one six in a row.

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:00.360
<v Speaker 6>How you do Rick?

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:05.640
<v Speaker 10>Hey, I'm great. Hey, it's so good to hear from you.

0:33:05.640 --> 0:33:07.240
<v Speaker 10>You don't put me asleep like David.

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 6>Oh we love David. David doesn't put anybody asleep.

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I have the fortune of doing this on a hot

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Sunday afternoon where everybody's wide awake and everybody's a little

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 2>grumpy because it's hot. But now for living in Coast

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 2>and Mason, like you, reckon the world is great living

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 2>down there by the water and the seaberes.

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:25.080
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, we got a night ocean breeze. Hey, I just

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 10>had a hypothetical if we were to just bench Tayo

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 10>just for maybe one or two games, who do you

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:33.480
<v Speaker 10>think could take his place?

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:35.920
<v Speaker 6>Well, there's a couple of different people. I appreciate the

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 6>phone call.

0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to look very far key Hernandez can

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 2>play left field for you.

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:40.680
<v Speaker 6>Is also a right handed hitter.

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Tommy Evan can make the adjustment out to the left field

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.960
<v Speaker 2>like he did earlier in this series. If Nate be So,

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you got two options right there that can play left

0:33:48.520 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 2>field for the Dodgers. So, yeah, you don't have to

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 2>look very far Keiky Hernandez, Tommy Edmond, two guys that

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.480
<v Speaker 2>can play left field for you. At eight six seven,

0:33:56.520 --> 0:34:00.440
<v Speaker 2>two seventy. Let's go to Arthur and Marina l Ray.

0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for being patient Arthur on this Sunday afternoon. Another

0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:06.440
<v Speaker 2>another guy living the rough life by the water and

0:34:06.520 --> 0:34:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Marina del Ray.

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 6>How you doing, Arthur.

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:11.240
<v Speaker 14>It's just cool, Grease. It's tough to hate Tim.

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I'm living in the valley where it's

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:15.880
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eight right now and just dripping sweat.

0:34:15.880 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 6>How you doing, Buddy?

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:19.800
<v Speaker 14>That the smartest saying. I did my movie La for

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:21.200
<v Speaker 14>a book on It's just.

0:34:22.719 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 6>Gotcha, gotcha? What's all your mind?

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:24.839
<v Speaker 5>Sir?

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 14>I'll talk about Jason Stone and Bobby Miller, Okay, and

0:34:30.520 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 14>that necessarily those people in particular. But you know, Jason

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:35.280
<v Speaker 14>Stone I think is a hero, but it didn't Twitch

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:39.399
<v Speaker 14>twenty four and you know he was a showrap, right.

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, you're talking about Gavin Stone, who's really been Yeah,

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 2>he's had a great rehab process in Triple A, Oklahoma City.

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:51.200
<v Speaker 6>We don't talk about him because I don't know how

0:34:51.280 --> 0:34:52.400
<v Speaker 6>much they're gonna ramp him up.

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Arthur.

0:34:52.600 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the phone call, my friend. We got to

0:34:54.200 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 2>get going here, but I appreciate you checking in. I'll

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.920
<v Speaker 2>give you an update on Gavin Stone right now. Gavin

0:34:58.920 --> 0:35:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Stone last pitch for the Dodge August thirty first, twenty

0:35:01.160 --> 0:35:03.839
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. As you alluded to, he has made three

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 2>rehab appearances in Triple A, Oklahoma City. Most recently he

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:11.920
<v Speaker 2>had three perfect innings, struck out five and through thirty

0:35:11.920 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 2>eight pitches. So thirty eight pitches, couple of innings. All right,

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 2>he's right there. I think if you gramp him up

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:22.439
<v Speaker 2>to five and seventy five. Maybe he makes a few

0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 2>starts for another team in baseball, But right now, I

0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know where you slot Gavin Stone into this Dodgers'

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 2>rotation certainly, and even the bullpen. I think we're at

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 2>a point for Gavin Stone here in twenty twenty six that,

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>barring and injury, he's most likely looking at finished off

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the year at Triple A and getting some momentum for

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:48.839
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty seven. That's that's where I think we're at

0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:51.640
<v Speaker 2>with Gavin Stone. I mean, he hasn't pitched in the

0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:54.279
<v Speaker 2>big league levels in two years. I mean we're a

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 2>week away from two years since he last pitched in

0:35:57.200 --> 0:35:59.319
<v Speaker 2>the big leagues. So the last thing you want to

0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:04.360
<v Speaker 2>do is rush back and thirty eight pitches, three scoreless innings.

0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:06.719
<v Speaker 2>That's great, you know the next out is what next

0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:08.160
<v Speaker 2>outing is four innings.

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 6>Maybe fifty pitches.

0:36:08.880 --> 0:36:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Then you get to five and sixty, So that's two

0:36:11.160 --> 0:36:13.360
<v Speaker 2>more starts we're looking at first week in September.

0:36:13.840 --> 0:36:15.640
<v Speaker 6>I just any other team in baseball.

0:36:15.880 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 2>You know, you look at a Rockies, you look at

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a Padres, you look at a Giants team. I just

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 2>use those as one. You know, the Mariners a West

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Coast team. It's the ones that are close to the Dodgers.

0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he gets brought back up and they finished the

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.520
<v Speaker 2>season with him trying to re establish himself in the

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:31.839
<v Speaker 2>big leagues and get some big league innings underneath him

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and ready for.

0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:33.240
<v Speaker 6>Twenty twenty seven.

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think outside of an injury happening, there's

0:36:36.320 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 2>a room for Gavin Stone right now to come back. Oh,

0:36:38.520 --> 0:36:40.399
<v Speaker 2>there's the need right now for him to come back

0:36:40.560 --> 0:36:41.799
<v Speaker 2>and pitch at the big league level.

0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:45.239
<v Speaker 6>Uh, let's go to Oh. Is he is?

0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 11>He?

0:36:45.600 --> 0:36:45.680
<v Speaker 12>Is?

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:46.239
<v Speaker 4>He? Is? He?

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:46.400
<v Speaker 12>Is?

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>He?

0:36:46.520 --> 0:36:47.200
<v Speaker 6>An Anaheim?

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:47.719
<v Speaker 12>Is he?

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 6>Are you staying cool at least?

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:51.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:36:51.440 --> 0:36:53.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, I don't know, but I don't mind dagon

0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:54.600
<v Speaker 4>until got hot.

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've been to Disneyland when it's been a hot

0:36:58.000 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 2>at Disneyland, and that's an Anaheim.

0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah I know, Yeah, yeah, I know that.

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 3>I know that.

0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 2>a row, They swept the Pirates, they swooped the Rockies.

0:37:11.320 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Everything is right with Yamamoto and school and Blake Snell.

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you talk about bing bang boom right there

0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers in their rotation. Now you got Tyler

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Glass now and then Sasaki and then's back to Yamamoto.

0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:24.799
<v Speaker 6>I mean you have to like where the student's at

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 6>right now?

0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:25.440

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 15>to win and be able to you know, with the

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:01.759
<v Speaker 15>off day Thursday, the off day tomorrow, the bullpen's in

0:39:01.840 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 15>a good spot. I thought, Henriquez has really been throwing

0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.719
<v Speaker 15>the baseball. Well, it was, you know, good to see

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 15>the guys come in and Brock's been great and so

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:14.080
<v Speaker 15>you know, Alex worked out of a leadoff walk situation.

0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 15>But I thought the ball was coming out while velocity

0:39:17.280 --> 0:39:21.440
<v Speaker 15>was up. So yeah, all around, good outing, and you

0:39:21.520 --> 0:39:23.880
<v Speaker 15>know this, it was hot today, so it was just

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:25.280
<v Speaker 15>good to see Blake be efficient.

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.360
<v Speaker 3>Tyler on Tuesday, do you feel like you're really getting

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 3>a really deals with this rotations looking like moving.

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:31.680
<v Speaker 11>Forward, we do.

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:34.440
<v Speaker 15>We feel good about it. I'm excited to see Tyler

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 15>back and I know he's been missing competing, worked hard

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:41.279
<v Speaker 15>to get healthy, to get his pitch count up, and

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:45.440
<v Speaker 15>now finally participate. And like I said, it's gonna be

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 15>a fun series here against the Braves and it'll be

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 15>good to get Tyler back in the mix.

0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 13>How many meaningful is that Alec can hunter head contributions

0:39:57.360 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 13>over the weekend?

0:39:58.280 --> 0:39:58.759
<v Speaker 3>It's great.

0:39:58.880 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 15>You know, Hunter's on a nice job behind the plate,

0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:06.360
<v Speaker 15>but getting some offensive production from there is great. And

0:40:06.480 --> 0:40:09.040
<v Speaker 15>then you know Alec, you know, being in a different

0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 15>environment to throw out some big hits and driving a

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:15.040
<v Speaker 15>couple of runs was great. And he'll be out there

0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:19.440
<v Speaker 15>on Tuesday and Wednesday against those guys. But yeah, I mean,

0:40:19.480 --> 0:40:20.640
<v Speaker 15>he's a big league ballplayer.

0:40:21.360 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 9>Did you haven't had your projected rotation all sees it

0:40:24.080 --> 0:40:26.080
<v Speaker 9>long and your ideally.

0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:27.240
<v Speaker 8>Just a few days from that happening.

0:40:27.880 --> 0:40:29.000
<v Speaker 6>How much do you.

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:32.200
<v Speaker 5>Look forward to having your group together and the ability

0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:32.680
<v Speaker 5>to kind.

0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:34.080
<v Speaker 2>Of be together what October could looked like?

0:40:34.840 --> 0:40:38.239
<v Speaker 15>Really excited? I think, you know, from one side, it's

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:40.719
<v Speaker 15>good for us to feel like every single night we

0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:43.440
<v Speaker 15>have a chance to win with the starter on the

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.320
<v Speaker 15>other side. It's it's like I've used before, it's daunting

0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 15>as an offense opposing offense to look at the probables

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 15>and you see glass now Yamamoto, SNeW Sasaki and then

0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 15>potentially show Hey, it's like it gets daunting. And so

0:40:58.880 --> 0:41:01.960
<v Speaker 15>from our standpoint, you know, you feel like you can keep,

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:04.839
<v Speaker 15>you know, sustaining this run that we're on right now.

0:41:06.760 --> 0:41:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell said he should have been better than he

0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:10.400
<v Speaker 2>was today, and obviously that's what.

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 6>Makes him who he's become.

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:14.480
<v Speaker 2>How exciting is that for the future, that that's his

0:41:15.040 --> 0:41:17.320
<v Speaker 2>mindset restarts in and it's another.

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 11>Month of play.

0:41:18.400 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 15>Like I said, you know a few weeks ago, he's

0:41:20.600 --> 0:41:22.640
<v Speaker 15>on a mission. I see it. I've talked to him,

0:41:22.680 --> 0:41:26.080
<v Speaker 15>and he's putting in the work. And again I like

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.840
<v Speaker 15>the way he's pounding the strike zone, and his slider's

0:41:28.920 --> 0:41:31.400
<v Speaker 15>really good. The curveballs as good as I've seen it,

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.439
<v Speaker 15>and then you got his arguably his best secondary pitch

0:41:35.480 --> 0:41:38.040
<v Speaker 15>to change up and the fastball is playing really well.

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:41.200
<v Speaker 15>So yeah, he could have been better, in his words,

0:41:41.239 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 15>but I thought he's pretty dann good.

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's a manager Dave Roberts. He hit it

0:41:45.880 --> 0:41:49.120
<v Speaker 2>right on the head, daunting. That is the best way

0:41:49.200 --> 0:41:52.240
<v Speaker 2>to describe it. When this Dodger pitching staff is healthy

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and this rotation looks like it's supposed to look like

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:59.920
<v Speaker 2>with now Schoolble and Snell and Yamamoto and Glass now

0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and what you know, sho heo Tani, I mean Sasaki,

0:42:06.040 --> 0:42:08.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean look out to go into a series and

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 2>to see the three starting pitchers the Dodgers just put

0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:12.400
<v Speaker 2>up against the Pirates, and then look ahead of the

0:42:12.440 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 2>three game series in Atlanta and see Glass now fresh

0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 2>ready to go, yam Sasaki pitching his best right now

0:42:19.880 --> 0:42:20.680
<v Speaker 2>that he has in two.

0:42:20.640 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 6>Years in the big leagues.

0:42:21.560 --> 0:42:24.360
<v Speaker 2>And then Yamamoto, who's one of the top three pitchers

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:27.200
<v Speaker 2>in the National League again this year. I mean, oh,

0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:29.440
<v Speaker 2>then we go to Detroit and school buls back out there.

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh my goodness, this rotation is exactly what

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:34.600
<v Speaker 2>we thought it was going to be when everybody's healthy

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's getting closer and closer to getting healthy again.

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:38.920
<v Speaker 2>If you missed a show, Yo Tani will throw one

0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:42.080
<v Speaker 2>more bullpen in Atlanta and then before making another decision

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.560
<v Speaker 2>on whether not to do that or just pitching a game,

0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:46.839
<v Speaker 2>an inning or two in a start at the big

0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 2>league level. That could be what's next for Shoho Tani

0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:53.400
<v Speaker 2>getting back on the major league mount after one more bullpen.

0:42:53.400 --> 0:42:55.839
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna throw in Atlanta coming up in a couple

0:42:55.920 --> 0:42:57.960
<v Speaker 2>of days. All right, that's gonna do it for Dodger

0:42:58.040 --> 0:42:59.919

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:02.000
