Speaker 1: The quest for the free peat has begune.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth fifth.
Speaker 1: This is world Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 4: Here we go again.
Speaker 5: We get right running back.
Speaker 1: To get in on the show called eight six six
Speaker 1: eighty seven two five seven day and be sure to
Speaker 1: follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts. And now
Speaker 1: your host, here's Tim Kakes.
Speaker 6: Well, the Dodgers keep right on rolling.
Speaker 2: They're six straight victory, a four nothing shutout over the
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Pirates as the Dodgers finish off the three games
Speaker 2: sweep of the Buckos. Hi everybody, and welcome into Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk here on a five to seventy LA Sports Live
Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app no matter where you may
Speaker 2: be on this Sunday afternoon. Thanks for making us a
Speaker 2: part of your day and taking us with you. Whether
Speaker 2: you're at the beach, you're at a lake, you're by
Speaker 2: a pool, you're at the air conditioning just trying to
Speaker 2: get out of the heat.
Speaker 6: I don't blame you.
Speaker 2: It's a scorcher out there on this Sunday afternoon. Is
Speaker 2: the heat is officially here in late August, just in
Speaker 2: time for all the kids to go back to school,
Speaker 2: as it is heating up this week. So stay cool
Speaker 2: wherever you're at, make sure you're hydrating. If you're at
Speaker 2: a Dodger stadium, please please cool off and get some
Speaker 2: fluids in you. Because it was a scorcher out there
Speaker 2: at at Uniclow Field, the Dodger Stadium. But the Dodgers
Speaker 2: red hot as well. They've now won six in a row.
Speaker 2: A three game sweep of the Rockies turned into a
Speaker 2: three game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates. And we kind
Speaker 2: of laughed going into this weekend set, at least I did,
Speaker 2: and I mentioned it here on Dodger Talk. You know,
Speaker 2: you get a three game series against Pittsburgh, and if
Speaker 2: you're the Pirates, you're looking at who the probables are, Okay.
Speaker 6: Who we face and what's the game plan?
Speaker 2: You know, what's going to be our our our you know,
Speaker 2: our strategy going to this series against this Dodger pitching staff.
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 6: Who they got going?
Speaker 2: Oh they got Yamamoto, they got school Ball, and they
Speaker 2: got Blake Snell.
Speaker 6: Oh Okay, that seems very fair.
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at what the Dodgers throughout this
Speaker 2: weekend against the Pittsburgh Pirates and what those starting pitchers
Speaker 2: did in these three games, I mean, this is what
Speaker 2: we expected. Yamamota, Schooble, and Snell combined for twenty six strikeouts,
Speaker 2: five walks in over nineteen innings of work. Gave up
Speaker 2: five earned runs, and out of those five, three came
Speaker 2: in the first inning yesterday against Trek scoubl who then
Speaker 2: really bare it down and put up zeros the rest
Speaker 2: of the way. The Dodgers bullpen put up zero's the
Speaker 2: rest of the way. Today, Blake Snell put up zeros
Speaker 2: combined with three relievers for a two hit shutout. And
Speaker 2: you go back after those three games, those three runs
Speaker 2: scored yesterday, the Dodgers' pitching staff has seventeen scoreless innings
Speaker 2: pitched against the Pittsburgh Pirates. That's how dominant they were
Speaker 2: against this Pirates offense, which is no slouch. It's a
Speaker 2: top five offense in baseball. Rick Monday mentioned that several
Speaker 2: times over the weekend, you can't you can't look at
Speaker 2: this Pirates team and say, wow, not a winning record,
Speaker 2: not a very good team. Their offense will prove you
Speaker 2: otherwise that's a really good Pittsburgh Pirates offense. But what
Speaker 2: the Dodgers' pitching staff put on display this weekend, from
Speaker 2: the bullpen to Tanner Scott to the Dodger starters in school,
Speaker 2: will Yamamoto and today Blake Snell.
Speaker 6: This is the.
Speaker 2: Dodger team we thought we see now certainly still missing
Speaker 2: Will Smith and he pot has the hand injury and
Speaker 2: the surgery is a huge break, no pun intended for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers for the next four to five weeks. But
Speaker 2: you feel good overall about what THEIRS Dodger team is
Speaker 2: at and what they're capable of. And again I mentioned
Speaker 2: in the clubouse show back to back days in which
Speaker 2: you didn't get a base.
Speaker 6: Hit from show Hey Otani in the leadoff spot.
Speaker 2: But back to back days you still pick up victories
Speaker 2: and say it's a four nothing shutout. Why because Otani
Speaker 2: can get on another ways. A leadoff walk in the
Speaker 2: first comes all the way around to score on the
Speaker 2: ground ball double play that Mookie Betts hit into in
Speaker 2: the bottom of the first inning, so he can provide
Speaker 2: other ways. The Dodgers bottom half of the lineup providing
Speaker 2: six seven, eight, nine hitters getting on base today with
Speaker 2: two outs, a little magic from Alec Thomas to the
Speaker 2: eight hitter and RBI single, Hunter Fidusha the nine hitter
Speaker 2: and RBI single. So you put up a two spot
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning, you give Blake Snell a little
Speaker 2: bit more cushion and three to nothing lead to work with.
Speaker 2: Where did that offense come from the bottom of the lineup?
Speaker 2: Max Munsey RBI ground out In the fifth inning, you
Speaker 2: manufacture another run to give Blake Snell on this pitching
Speaker 2: staff and bullpen a four nothing lead to work with.
Speaker 2: So this is kind of how you drew it up
Speaker 2: when you looked at the Dodgers to start the season. Now,
Speaker 2: has it been pretty, it's been up, it's been down, certainly.
Speaker 2: All we got to do is go back a week
Speaker 2: ago and we're sitting here talking about the Dodgers losing
Speaker 2: three to four to the Milwaukee Brewers. We're talking about
Speaker 2: a four and three homestand we're talking about a Dodgers
Speaker 2: team that's falling behind the Milwaukee Brewers and have the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves right there neck and neck as far as
Speaker 2: the top two spots in the National League, sky was.
Speaker 6: Falling into world. What are we going to do?
Speaker 2: Dodgers are done, break up the team, pump the brakes
Speaker 2: a little bit, get to Colorado, take care of a
Speaker 2: Rockies team in three games, and then come back and
Speaker 2: in a three game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, absolutely
Speaker 2: dominate them with pitching and get good hitting up and
Speaker 2: down the lineup, production from pretty much everybody top to
Speaker 2: bottom in this lineup, even Kyle Tucker providing hits yesterday,
Speaker 2: a hit today, Freddie Freeman, mister consistent, two more bass
Speaker 2: hits today again, shoe hail Tani doesn't have a hit
Speaker 2: to show for his offense today, but a leadoff walk
Speaker 2: in the first and guess what, Steel's second base and
Speaker 2: comes all the way around to score in the first
Speaker 2: inning for the first run of the game. So he
Speaker 2: can provide other things besides just hitting bombs eight six,
Speaker 2: six nine, eight seven two five seventy. You look at
Speaker 2: this whole win today, you look at this series. You
Speaker 2: look at this six game winning streak. I get it,
Speaker 2: it's against the Pirates and the Rockies, but you gotta
Speaker 2: beat these teams, and you're supposed to sweep these series.
Speaker 2: And these were get right series. First with the Colorado
Speaker 2: Rockies and against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yeah, they didn't face
Speaker 2: Paul Skins, but they got Jared Jones yesterday. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's a really good young right hander out of here
Speaker 2: in southern California. So you had to face him, you
Speaker 2: had to face a really good Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen that
Speaker 2: you eventually got to in wore down in what turned
Speaker 2: out to be a bullpen game today for Pittsburgh. So
Speaker 2: the Dodgers did a really good job of doing what
Speaker 2: they're supposed to do, collect wins against teams you're supposed
Speaker 2: to beat. And now comes the next hurdle, the next
Speaker 2: test in the Atlanta Braves. And you look what the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves are doing right now. They're not playing the
Speaker 2: best of baseball. They're actually in Sunday Night baseball right
Speaker 2: now in Williamsport, Pennsylvania for the Little League Classic that's
Speaker 2: taking place. It's the Sunday Night during the Little League
Speaker 2: World Series. They're in West Pennsylvania and it's two teams
Speaker 2: that go and play the Sunday Night baseball game there.
Speaker 2: And they played at one of the oldest stadiums in
Speaker 2: the country, old Journey Bank Ballpark at Historic Bowmen Field.
Speaker 6: They're in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's like the second oldest operating ballpark
Speaker 2: in minor league baseball going back one hundred years. It
Speaker 2: only seats like twenty four hundred fans and it's all
Speaker 2: little leaguers there from across the world participating in the
Speaker 2: Little League World Series. Getting to watch the Brewers and
Speaker 2: the Braves play a regular season game, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: I know it's a long haul for both these teams
Speaker 2: to get there to play one game, but it's pretty
Speaker 2: cool experience for everybody involved to go play in that game.
Speaker 2: So we'll keep an eye on what's happening in that
Speaker 2: game because that's got some bearing on what happens with
Speaker 2: the Dodgers as far as the top record in the
Speaker 2: National League concerning the Braves are up one to nothing
Speaker 2: over the Brewers in the second inning, but the Brewers
Speaker 2: as we speak, eighty one and forty nine Dodgers eighty
Speaker 2: and fifty one Dodgers a game and a half back
Speaker 2: of Milwaukee for the best record in baseball, in the
Speaker 2: best record in the National League, which would be huge
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers to have. They've also separated themselves now
Speaker 2: four plus games ahead of the Atlanta Braves for the
Speaker 2: second spot, so they've got some separation between two and
Speaker 2: three there and home field in the wild card and
Speaker 2: not having to play the opening round. So it's big
Speaker 2: to get one of these two top spots in the
Speaker 2: National League seedings. And the Dodgers right now are putting
Speaker 2: themselves in a good position by winning games they're supposed
Speaker 2: to beating teams they're supposed to and now against you
Speaker 2: gotta take care of business. This is a series Tuesday,
Speaker 2: Wednesday and Thursday. The Dodgers have to win the series.
Speaker 2: This would be a backbreaker for Atlanta. A team that's
Speaker 2: going into today lost two in a row, seven of
Speaker 2: their last ten, and.
Speaker 6: It's got a Cubs team that's red hot.
Speaker 2: They just score to what nineteen runs against the Mariners today,
Speaker 2: Pca hit his thirty third on run. You got the
Speaker 2: Phillies for the hottest team in baseball, have won nine
Speaker 2: in a row and don't look now, they're right back
Speaker 2: in the race of the National League.
Speaker 6: So you've got teams.
Speaker 2: Now nipping on the heels of the Atlanta Braves, who
Speaker 2: are sitting as the third seed in the National League.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have a firm hold of the second seed,
Speaker 2: right behind the Milwaukee Brewers going in into Atlanta. Taking
Speaker 2: two to three would be a wreck for the Braves.
Speaker 2: To sweep that series would be disaster for them. But
Speaker 2: if the Dodgers lose the series or get swept themselves,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, that cushion has gone and the
Speaker 2: Braves and the teams right behind them are all right behind.
Speaker 6: The Dodgers for the second spot in the National League.
Speaker 2: So we're starting to tighten the belt a little bit
Speaker 2: here with five weeks to go in the Sea, and
Speaker 2: every game is important. But we all know when you
Speaker 2: get less and less games on the calendar, you start
Speaker 2: checking off games and you start looking at what's left
Speaker 2: and it gets smaller and smaller. As far as games
Speaker 2: still to be played, every game gets magnified. Every game
Speaker 2: means more moving forward because of what you can and
Speaker 2: can't do in the standings, as far as moving up
Speaker 2: or down and creating separation. Eight six, six, nine eighty
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy d Dodgers Baseball is brought to
Speaker 2: you by Medello Medello, the mark of a Fighter. The
Speaker 2: Dodgers a four to nothing win over the pirates today.
Speaker 2: Let's get out to the phones. Thanks for being patient, Ryan,
Speaker 2: Was it Dodger Stadium today, Ryan, Hopefully you're hydrated and
Speaker 2: you're nice and cool in the car already.
Speaker 8: Oo hot?
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 8: I feel bad for those players, But it was the
Speaker 8: very first trip for my eight year old Eli to
Speaker 8: come to Dodger Stadium. I made the mistake a couple
Speaker 8: of years ago. We live in Orange County. I took
Speaker 8: her to an Angels game. It was terrible. She was like,
Speaker 8: I hate baseball. It was so boring. Today it was
Speaker 8: a totally different experience. The energy, the people, the four
Speaker 8: nothing win was incredible and for good luck. When we
Speaker 8: got there, she won a free spell bobblehead and then
Speaker 8: got to see him absolutely dominate. And man, I can't
Speaker 8: talk highly enough about him. He's incredible. So anytime we
Speaker 8: want some free tickets from you guys, anytime you're giving
Speaker 8: free tickets, I'm game. Just she had a great experience.
Speaker 2: Awesome, Ryan, that's great parenting by you to overcome the
Speaker 2: Angel game and take her to a Dodger GAF.
Speaker 6: I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 2: Keep listening, as we're always giving away Dodger tickets here
Speaker 2: on Dodger Talk and of course on a five to
Speaker 2: seventy LA Sports, your home.
Speaker 6: Of the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Mark in Torrance is next up. Thanks for being patient, Mark,
Speaker 2: Welcome to Dodger Talk. After the Dodgers finished off the
Speaker 2: sweep of the Pirates.
Speaker 10: How you doing, Oh, I'm doing great.
Speaker 5: Say I've been to fans in nineteen fifty nine and
Speaker 5: saw the Dodgers play in the coliseum, so I've been
Speaker 5: around a while. So anyway, in June, I called David
Speaker 5: Bassa and I asked him if he at that time
Speaker 5: if he had a projected final account for the win
Speaker 5: games for the regular season. He guessed ninety five. I
Speaker 5: did atistical analysis and came up with one hundred and one.
Speaker 5: I've adjusted that since probably that like ninety five ninety six.
Speaker 5: And I'm just wondering if you guys had your own
Speaker 5: thoughts about what a final number of wins might be
Speaker 5: for the season.
Speaker 2: Well, they're at eighty and fifty one right now, and
Speaker 2: I'm doing my own math here, just on a calculator. Though, Mark,
Speaker 2: I'm as smart as you. They're thirty one games to
Speaker 2: go in the season. Let's say they win. Let's say
Speaker 2: they go just a game over five hundred. Let's say
Speaker 2: they go sixteen in fifteen during that stretch. We hope
Speaker 2: that's way better than that. But let's just say it's,
Speaker 2: you know, game over five hundred. So what's eighty plus sixteen.
Speaker 2: I wasn't a math major, of course, but eighty plus sixteen,
Speaker 2: of course.
Speaker 6: Is ninety six.
Speaker 2: So, you know, looking at ninety six wins in my estimation,
Speaker 2: was the worst case. If they basically play five hundred
Speaker 2: ish baseball the final thirty.
Speaker 6: One games of the season.
Speaker 2: Anything more than that, you're looking at close to one hundred,
Speaker 2: if not north of one hundred.
Speaker 6: I think that's very reasonable, right.
Speaker 5: I agree, I agree?
Speaker 1: All right, Mark.
Speaker 11: Today, thank you?
Speaker 6: He was great. He was absolutely great, Mark, thank you
Speaker 6: for the phone call.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell was fantastic to have all his pitches working
Speaker 2: or herscheiser mentioned it on Sports in LA. The curveball
Speaker 2: was devastating. The slider, especially to the right handed hitters.
Speaker 2: That just was Clayton Kershaw esque if you wanted, just
Speaker 2: a great description of what it looked like on the radio,
Speaker 2: just diving into the back foot of the right handed hitters.
Speaker 2: He had the fastball in all quadrants in out up, down.
Speaker 6: And when you're.
Speaker 2: Throwing ninety seven like Blake Snell was today, and you're
Speaker 2: throwing fastball outside, fastball up, and you come back with
Speaker 2: a curveball, it's so devastating. And then you come back
Speaker 2: with a slider and maybe you get a swing and
Speaker 2: miss and you're heading the count and then you pump
Speaker 2: ninety seven again up and out of the strike zone.
Speaker 2: You're getting a swing and miss and he's just swinging
Speaker 2: over the underneath it.
Speaker 6: It's hard.
Speaker 2: I mean that ninety seven looks like it's one hundred
Speaker 2: based on what you're throwing, the curveballs and the sliders
Speaker 2: and the change ups. I mean, I didn't even mention
Speaker 2: the change up. He was for the Pirates, hitters were
Speaker 2: oh for sixteen against the fastballs and change ups today.
Speaker 2: They were zero for ten against the fastball alone, with
Speaker 2: five strikeouts. That is a dominating performance from Blake Snell today.
Speaker 2: And again, three starts since coming back from the elbow surgery,
Speaker 2: three starts. Every start he's gone six innings. He's got
Speaker 2: an ERA of one over those three starts. That's eighteen innings.
Speaker 5: Pitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can do the math. Three starts, six innings
Speaker 2: each that's eighteen innings, pitch twenty one strikeouts over those
Speaker 2: eighteen innings, and he was fantastic again today.
Speaker 6: So was the Dodgers bullpen.
Speaker 2: Enriquez, Stewart Vesia put up Zeros snell in the three relievers,
Speaker 2: combining for a two hit shutout and a four nothing
Speaker 2: Dodgers win over the Pittsburgh Pirates eight six, six, nine
Speaker 2: eighty seven, two five seventy. Dan and Santa Monica, welcome
Speaker 2: to Dodger Talk on this Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Dan.
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 11: How are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing good to try to stay cool. I imagine
Speaker 2: buy the water in Santa Monica. You got a nice
Speaker 2: little ocean breeze at least keep you somewhat cool.
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, it feels nice, A little cooler here than
Speaker 9: in Dodger Stadium today for sure. But Tim, my question
Speaker 9: real quick. I saw m and she Hand today pitch
Speaker 9: six shutout innings for Oklahoma City. The ZRA is like
Speaker 9: one forty six, so he seems to be pitching really
Speaker 9: well at triple A. With the rosters expanding in another
Speaker 9: seven ten days, is it possible the Dodgers might recall
Speaker 9: m she Hands. Yeah, and you take care and have
Speaker 9: a great day, my friend.
Speaker 6: All right, Dan, great to hear your voice. Thank you
Speaker 6: for the compliment. There, I do.
Speaker 2: I do think image Sheen is one of the call ups.
Speaker 2: So what they expanded twenty eight when the September collups.
Speaker 2: It's not like you can just empty your minor leagues
Speaker 2: anymore in baseball callups in September.
Speaker 6: That used to be the case. And he used to
Speaker 6: all of a sudden go from being you know, it
Speaker 6: used to be a twenty.
Speaker 2: Five man roster. Right now it's a twenty six man roster,
Speaker 2: but it used to be September call ups. All of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you got like fifteen more dudes in the
Speaker 2: dugout and it's just like spring training baseball all over again. Well,
Speaker 2: major League Baseball tweaked that, so from a twenty five
Speaker 2: man roster to a twenty six man roster and then
Speaker 2: September you're able to get to a maximum of twenty
Speaker 2: eight players. So the Dodgers can add two players to
Speaker 2: their roster come September in the expansion of the rosters
Speaker 2: for the final month of the season, I would expect
Speaker 2: eight arm or two to be called up by the Dodgers.
Speaker 6: My preference. And this is just my preference.
Speaker 2: And again, I know there's a lot that goes into
Speaker 2: you know, bringing a guy to a forty man and
Speaker 2: you know, getting a call up late and you start
Speaker 2: the clock for his major league service time and all
Speaker 2: that stuff. But maybe you bring up a pitcher like
Speaker 2: an Image Shean, and you bring up a TIBs to
Speaker 2: get him around the major league dugout, get him around
Speaker 2: batting practice, get him around the day to day of
Speaker 2: what it's like to be a big league ball player
Speaker 2: at the major league level. You know, James Tims the
Speaker 2: third might be a guy you call up. So you
Speaker 2: bring up a position player and you bring up an arm.
Speaker 2: I think bringing up at least one arm is a
Speaker 2: no brainer. I think Immachean if he continues to pitch
Speaker 2: like he did today and continue to show that he's
Speaker 2: maybe turned a corner. Absolutely, But let's be real, Imma
Speaker 2: Sheean's role is going to be just like Justin Robleski's
Speaker 2: and Eric Lawer's role the rest of the season. They
Speaker 2: are going to be piggyback guys and they need those
Speaker 2: guys in the back end of the bullpen. That's not
Speaker 2: a slight by any means. Let's look at Tuesday. It's
Speaker 2: just a great example. Tyler Glass now is coming back
Speaker 2: from injury. Now he's gone five innings in minor league
Speaker 2: rehab starts in Triple A Oklahoma City. In theory, he
Speaker 2: is stretched out, he is ready to go. He is
Speaker 2: full throttle. Tyler Glass. Now on Tuesday, Okay, what happens
Speaker 2: he gets into trouble. What happens is there's a high
Speaker 2: pitch count, which we've seen before, God forbid, what happens
Speaker 2: if the back tightens up again with some spats.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of what ifs?
Speaker 2: Okay, what if that happens on Tuesday the Dodgers all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the first game of a bullpen of
Speaker 2: a road trip, or forced to go to a bullpen
Speaker 2: game when you've got an Eric Lower, which they're gonna
Speaker 2: have there on Tuesday, ready to go, lined up and
Speaker 2: can piggyback Tyler Glass now on Tuesday. I mean, you
Speaker 2: talk about the benefits of having depth, and you know,
Speaker 2: the the abundance of pitchers that the Dodgers have and
Speaker 2: quality pitchers that can pitch that are starters.
Speaker 6: I mean, do you heard Blake Snell in the post game?
Speaker 6: If you didn't.
Speaker 2: He sort of laughed when he was asked about the
Speaker 2: three starting pitchers this weekend, himself, Terry Scuogle, and Yamamoto
Speaker 2: and what they're able to do. And then he said, yeah,
Speaker 2: well we got Glass coming on Tuesday, and he said,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, show's coming back soon too.
Speaker 6: I mean, shoey Otani's going to be back baby steps.
Speaker 2: Of course, an inning, two winnings, just like he did
Speaker 2: when he came back a year ago. They're not going
Speaker 2: to throw him out there for five plus. It'll be
Speaker 2: a slow ramp up when he makes those starts. So
Speaker 2: when he comes back in another week or so, the
Speaker 2: same thing. You're gonna need somebody to an essence, be
Speaker 2: a piggyback. We're in shoe Heyo Tani's first outing will
Speaker 2: most likely be as an opener, pitch one inning and
Speaker 2: then turn it over to a Robleski or a lour
Speaker 2: or turn it over to an image she in Right now,
Speaker 2: Eric Lower's the guy because he's active, Robleski's not shim
Speaker 2: Shean's and triple A. So Eric Lower is the dude.
Speaker 2: Eric Lawer is that long inning guy who will piggyback
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass Now if need on Tuesday, and we'll find
Speaker 2: out and he'll be in that role for the next
Speaker 2: couple of days and when called upon if they need
Speaker 2: him in one of those games, he'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2: We got full confidence in Eric Lawer, who's been fantastic
Speaker 2: since coming over from the Blue Jays and put into
Speaker 2: the starring rotation. Eight six nine, eight seven two five seven.
Speaker 2: We'll take a time out, we'll come back. We'll get
Speaker 2: to your phone calls. We'll hear from the manager, Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts as the Dodgers take care of the Pittsburgh Pirates
Speaker 2: a four nothing shutout behind Blake Snells six shutout innings,
Speaker 2: he combines with three levers for a two hit shutout.
Speaker 2: The bottom of the lineup delivers Alec Thomas, Hunter Fadusha
Speaker 2: back to back RBI singles in the fourth as the
Speaker 2: Dodgers get a four nothing shutout. Right here on FI
Speaker 2: seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2: ten with five strikeouts against his forcing fastball, and he
Speaker 2: only got better as the game went along. Despite having
Speaker 2: traffic on the base pass in the first five innings,
Speaker 2: got out of it with zeros and then the six
Speaker 2: The one two three inning finished off with two strikeouts,
Speaker 2: his fifth and sixth of the day as the Dodgers

Speaker 2: My guy in Colorado is next up here on Dodger Talk, Blake,
Speaker 2: what's going on, buddy?
Speaker 4: Hi? How are you doing today?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: I am doing much better, Blake. We last talked that
Speaker 2: Dodgers were struggling. They went to Colorado, they won three
Speaker 2: in a row. They feeling good about themselves and feeling
Speaker 2: even better now after this pitching performance. How about this
Speaker 2: Dodger pitching staff, Blake. You got Yamamoto on Friday against
Speaker 2: the Pirates, he was great. Then you had Trek Schoog,
Speaker 2: Well yesterday had a hiccup in the first, but he
Speaker 2: was great and got the win. And then today six
Speaker 2: shutout inatings from Blake Snell. These guys are tremendous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are really good.
Speaker 13: Hopefully we could win another will series.
Speaker 6: We will see, we will see.
Speaker 2: They're gonna get even more guys back with Tyler Glass
Speaker 2: now on Tuesday mentioned show, Hey, Otani's gonna throw one
Speaker 2: more bullpen in Atlanta, and then he could be back
Speaker 2: the next time around in the rotation and get his
Speaker 2: first outing in the Big leagues for almost two months
Speaker 2: now since he threw in a game, So that'll be
Speaker 2: fun to get him back, and certainly Eric Louer going
Speaker 2: to the bullpen and maybe getting just Robleski back here soon.
Speaker 2: Things are really trending in the right direction. How about
Speaker 2: Will Smith's gonna start a rehab assignment on Tuesday in
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, so you give him ten days down there
Speaker 2: or so we're looking at the round September first, a
Speaker 2: little after we could have Blake Snell or Will Smith back.
Speaker 13: Yeah, high happy Sunday, Mike. Question is if Alex Summons
Speaker 13: keep doing well when and he comes at and he
Speaker 13: comes back, what do we do with what do the
Speaker 13: Dodgers do?
Speaker 5: Ye?
Speaker 13: Also where what what where we do at the kess
Speaker 13: when Will Smith comes back?
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are both great questions. Blake, great to hear
Speaker 2: from you, my friend. Hope you're well and we'll talk soon.
Speaker 2: I'm back at it on Thursday after the finale of
Speaker 2: the game in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, talk to you Josey about it?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 6: Sounds good?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they Dodgers are gonna have some questions when the
Speaker 2: Will Smith comes back to do the catching every day
Speaker 2: was a Hunter Producia is a Blake roart Ft at
Speaker 2: that point is one of those guys, the extra position
Speaker 2: player in September when the call ups are brought up
Speaker 2: and you're allowed to have twenty eight men on the roster.
Speaker 2: When they get to that bridge and have to cross it,
Speaker 2: we'll find out. And certainly Andy pot Has is at
Speaker 2: least a month, probably five to six weeks away from returning.
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing here, you're looking the last week of
Speaker 2: the season. Uh, if not the playoff for the return
Speaker 2: of Andy Paez.
Speaker 6: I mean he had a.
Speaker 2: Little bit of something to put into his wrist, whether
Speaker 2: it's a screw or a pin. I mean he's got
Speaker 2: a rest. He's got to get that thing healed. You
Speaker 2: can only drink so much milk to get those bones stronger.
Speaker 2: So our best, Andy Paes and a speedy recovery, and
Speaker 2: hopefully he can come back sooner rather than later. But
Speaker 2: you certainly hate to see him go out with a
Speaker 2: broken hand. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven seventy is
Speaker 2: the number. Thanks to Blake for the phone call. Let's
Speaker 2: go to dominic in Westwood Dominic, thanks for being patient.
Speaker 10: How you doing today, I'm doing good.
Speaker 3: I need an ice bath right now. It is hot outside.
Speaker 6: It is a scorcher, that is for sure. I guess
Speaker 6: it's a little cool. You got a little bit.
Speaker 2: Of the breeze there in in in Westwood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we do, we do. But it's still perfect
Speaker 3: for a nice bat. So I'll go take full advantage
Speaker 3: of that one. I oh my god, I wanted to
Speaker 3: call it. I just wanted to say Blake, he did
Speaker 3: an awesome job. I know he's always tough on himself,
Speaker 3: that he he got us out of the gym and
Speaker 3: we got another sweep, but the second sleep in a row.
Speaker 3: So I right now I'm watching the Atlanta Milwaukee Little
Speaker 3: League serious game, hoping Atlanta takes the win so we
Speaker 3: can take that first seed in the in the National League.
Speaker 3: But yeah, and I'm also I also just want to
Speaker 3: say this to I am a hockey fans, and King's
Speaker 3: Night is coming up, and i just saw the Bailey
Speaker 3: bobblehead and I'm just falling in love with it. So
Speaker 3: can't wait for the first. Can't wait for the first.
Speaker 3: I also wanted to I don't I don't know if
Speaker 3: I asked you this question.
Speaker 14: I think I did.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry for being repetitive over it. Can I ask
Speaker 3: you about the train horn question? Should we use a
Speaker 3: train horn for the home runs and game wins?
Speaker 2: You didn't maybe you talked to Dave about that. But
Speaker 2: I don't know about the train horn. It doesn't really
Speaker 2: fit LA right now. I think, you know, I love
Speaker 2: La getting a win. That makes sense, the home run,
Speaker 2: the celebration, the music, people getting up, moving their bodies
Speaker 2: around and celebrating the home run. I kind of like
Speaker 2: it the way it is right now. I don't know
Speaker 2: if a train horn fits like a Colorado thing. It's
Speaker 2: not really it's a Pennsylvania thing.
Speaker 6: You know. It doesn't really.
Speaker 2: Fit fit you know, Dodger Stadium, and and I don't know.
Speaker 6: That's that's just how I feel. What do you think?
Speaker 3: I'm kind of on the opposite end of it.
Speaker 6: I I do.
Speaker 3: I do love I Love La. Sorry that was a
Speaker 3: ton cluster there. I do like I love La, and
Speaker 3: the King should use I Love La and bring it
Speaker 3: back because they don't use it no more, and a
Speaker 3: lot of Kings fans are still upset about that. But
Speaker 3: I will say having a train horn, maybe not every game,
Speaker 3: but probably like for like library series, like San Diego,
Speaker 3: for example, so we can just hip off the Madre
Speaker 3: fans more a horse, yeah, but I was more of
Speaker 3: a let's use it all the games. But I would
Speaker 3: be okay if we just use it for just library
Speaker 3: games or some games. It doesn't have to be all
Speaker 3: of them. But I'm honestly again, I'm a hockey fan,
Speaker 3: and I like the train horn idea.
Speaker 11: I get it.
Speaker 6: I get it Dominic, and I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 2: I I don't think it's more of an I don't
Speaker 2: think it's an l A thing. I don't think it
Speaker 2: fits Dodger Stadium, and the vibe there certainly fits.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 2: Again, to me, I think a train horning. Gonna think
Speaker 2: of a hockey horn. My first thought goes to the
Speaker 2: Rockies in Denver. My first thought goes to Pittsburgh and
Speaker 2: you know, somewhere like that. This doesn't fit La, my
Speaker 2: opinion eight six, five seventy And again in LA, it's
Speaker 2: more of a king's hockey thing, and let's let them
Speaker 2: enjoy that. The Dodgers get, you know, the home run celebration.
Speaker 2: You get up and move your body around and have
Speaker 2: a good time and celebrate a home run. And then
Speaker 2: when they win, we all play I Love La and
Speaker 2: sing it. I think that's better fitting for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Eight six six, nine eighty seven two five seventy. Don
Speaker 2: from the City of Industry, the Man with the Golden Pipes?
Speaker 11: How you doing, Don, Kim the Great Kate? How are
Speaker 11: you doing today, Buddy?
Speaker 2: I'm doing it great. But I'm gonna ask you a question.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you a question.
Speaker 6: Don.
Speaker 2: Did you listen to Not Quite Ringside yesterday from nine
Speaker 2: am to ten am our new box seen the show
Speaker 2: right here on five seventy LA Sports with a great
Speaker 2: colony and Sammy Long.
Speaker 6: It is a great listen. My friend.
Speaker 2: They went to a boxing event last night in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2: They're going to Vegas next month. They're at all the
Speaker 2: big fights locally and in Vegas. You gotta check it out,
Speaker 2: don I know? You love the Sweet Science.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, you know, I was so tim I was
Speaker 11: so set to watch it on Saturday morning. But I
Speaker 11: got in late after being out and about on Friday,
Speaker 11: and I literally fell asleep on my couch with the
Speaker 11: radio right next to me, and I woke up, you know,
Speaker 11: and it's like it was already over. I'm like, dang it,
Speaker 11: you know that hates when I do that, So I'll
Speaker 11: find a way to get some z's in before because
Speaker 11: I got to hear the show now it's like I
Speaker 11: feel like Captain Ahab chasing the Great White Whale. But
Speaker 11: I will, I will. I definitely want to watch it
Speaker 11: because it's funny you mentioned that because you know, Tim
Speaker 11: watch watching now this season the way it is, it
Speaker 11: reminds me of the old days with fighters when they
Speaker 11: had tune up fights, you know, when you know if
Speaker 11: you had a big fight coming up. I know Angelo
Speaker 11: Dundee who trained Muhammad, Alisha, Gary Leonard, all those guys.
Speaker 11: He was a genius at it. He'd find the guys
Speaker 11: before the big fight that had elements of the main guy,
Speaker 11: but they might have this, they might have that, and
Speaker 11: they picked the right sparring partners to get ready, so
Speaker 11: when you got to that big fight, you were ready
Speaker 11: to go. And I know it's different in team sports.
Speaker 11: You have a schedule you can't pick. But it's so
Speaker 11: neat to watch all them, you know, because I'm just
Speaker 11: a mug watching this stuff, you know. But I love
Speaker 11: the machinations and who's in, who's out. Who's up, who's down,
Speaker 11: And it's just so great the way they built the
Speaker 11: Dodgers with all the depth and first they go across
Speaker 11: and fill all the holes. Now we go deep and
Speaker 11: so just having that great depth and everything, it's just
Speaker 11: so exciting. I have to kind of like take a
Speaker 11: deep breath to keep from getting too pumped too early,
Speaker 11: you know, because Mess, we're not at the big casino yet,
Speaker 11: but we're getting there. We're chugging along.
Speaker 2: Bring that up, Don, and I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 2: Great to hear from you again. As always, I'm glad
Speaker 2: you brought that up. The depth of this Dodgers team,
Speaker 2: and you know, tune up fights analogy with boxing, because
Speaker 2: you know, this Dodgers team has gone through injuries and
Speaker 2: their death was tested at the pitching staff with the
Speaker 2: rotation and the relieving corps, and the depth at center
Speaker 2: field now being tested with Alec Thomas getting called up,
Speaker 2: and that's a move that's gonna go under the radar.
Speaker 2: He gets dfaded by the Arizona Diamondbacks early in the
Speaker 2: season because he's struggling. It's got forty years experience, though
Speaker 2: in the big leagues he's only twenty six years old,
Speaker 2: He's still got a lot of baseball life left in him,
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers take him when nobody else wanted him.
Speaker 2: They put him in Triple A. He's talked about They
Speaker 2: worked with some things on his swing, his defense. He
Speaker 2: feels way more confident the plate. He hits near three
Speaker 2: hundred down in Triple A, and Andy pa Has unfortunately
Speaker 2: gets down with an injury that the hand broken hand.
Speaker 2: He's on the IL now for the next five weeks.
Speaker 2: And Alec Thomics gets called up and again nobody wanted
Speaker 2: him a few months ago.
Speaker 6: Dfad by the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers find two of them, bring him up and
Speaker 2: then back to back days since getting recalled and play
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers. He has RBI singles, including today an
Speaker 2: RBI single in the fourth inning. They just push all
Speaker 2: the right buttons, and they just know guys that fit
Speaker 2: in perfectly to their system and can wait them out,
Speaker 2: and then when their opportunity comes, they get called up
Speaker 2: Hunter Fradusia, Ben Rhardtvett, both guys traded away and sent
Speaker 2: away last year. Not here in twenty twenty six, but
Speaker 2: because of the injury to Will Smith and Dalton Rushing,
Speaker 2: they go back and they go and they find Ben
Speaker 2: Roardvett in Triple A Syracuse with the Mets, bring them
Speaker 2: to the Dodgers again. They go out and they bring
Speaker 2: back Hunter Fradusia, who they had traded away. Because they're
Speaker 2: familiar with the guys, they understand the system, they know
Speaker 2: the pitching coaches, they know the philosophies, they know how
Speaker 2: to game plan. The Dodgers just push all the right buttons.
Speaker 2: You can hate it all you want, you can say
Speaker 2: they're getting away with it, and they spend this much
Speaker 2: money and nobody else can compete with them.
Speaker 6: Yeah, whatever, But.
Speaker 2: They also go out and they pick up the Eric
Speaker 2: Lauers of the world, Alec Thomas's of the world. You
Speaker 2: go back and they pick up the Maximuns, the Chris
Speaker 2: Taylor's of the world.
Speaker 6: They do the.
Speaker 2: Things that other teams can't do, and that's develop and
Speaker 2: that's redefined players who maybe are down on their luck
Speaker 2: or just going through whatever rut they're going in in
Speaker 2: their baseball world, and they fix them. Eight six, six, nine,
Speaker 2: eighty seven, two five seventy. Eric in Hollywood, I know
Speaker 2: where this is going.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Eric Dodger?
Speaker 7: This shit, Kimmy the bullseye on the Dodgers' back is huge.
Speaker 7: But the Pirates try to knock us down. Every game
Speaker 7: was a good game, and that was a good game
Speaker 7: for the Dodgers. I'm glad they had a team like
Speaker 7: that that's hungry. The Pirates are hungry. They're trying to
Speaker 7: beat us. You know, everybody's trying to beat us. Everybody's
Speaker 7: trying to put something on their mantle and say we
Speaker 7: beat the Dodgers. But the Dodgers swept them and they
Speaker 7: played really, really good, and that's great. That's what the
Speaker 7: Dodgers need. The Dodgers need to band together and take
Speaker 7: care of business. Now, as far as I got one
Speaker 7: thing to tell you, Timmy, and you're probably gonna you're
Speaker 7: probably gonna get mad about this, but Tucker, man, what's
Speaker 7: up with this guy?
Speaker 9: Bro?
Speaker 3: We gave him love.
Speaker 7: Everybody was showering him love Dodger Stadium, and his comments
Speaker 7: were like, I'm just trying.
Speaker 11: To play better and.
Speaker 7: Blah blah blah, and come on, come on talk, come on,
Speaker 7: come on, we're trying to help you out here. You
Speaker 7: know what I mean. Dodgers did it for Dodgers, did
Speaker 7: it for bets. You're trying to do it for Tucker.
Speaker 7: That kind of bothers me a little bit. I'll hear
Speaker 7: that after I'm done. But last thing I want to
Speaker 7: tell you, we need to go into Atlanta. We need
Speaker 7: to take two out of three from them. We need
Speaker 7: to let them know who the who's the boss. And
Speaker 7: I'm really really glad that glass Snow's back. That being said, Yo, Timmy,
Speaker 7: always a pleasure talking to you, bro.
Speaker 6: Always all right, appreciate it. Thank you, Eric.
Speaker 2: Great to hear from you, my friend. Eight six six seventy. Uh,
Speaker 2: let's keep things going. Rick from Coast to Mesa's next
Speaker 2: up on Dodger Talk. After a four outing shutout of
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Pyrus, Dodgers have now one six in a row.
Speaker 6: How you do Rick?
Speaker 10: Hey, I'm great. Hey, it's so good to hear from you.
Speaker 10: You don't put me asleep like David.
Speaker 6: Oh we love David. David doesn't put anybody asleep.
Speaker 2: I have the fortune of doing this on a hot
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon where everybody's wide awake and everybody's a little
Speaker 2: grumpy because it's hot. But now for living in Coast
Speaker 2: and Mason, like you, reckon the world is great living
Speaker 2: down there by the water and the seaberes.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we got a night ocean breeze. Hey, I just
Speaker 10: had a hypothetical if we were to just bench Tayo
Speaker 10: just for maybe one or two games, who do you
Speaker 10: think could take his place?
Speaker 6: Well, there's a couple of different people. I appreciate the
Speaker 6: phone call.
Speaker 2: You don't have to look very far key Hernandez can
Speaker 2: play left field for you.
Speaker 6: Is also a right handed hitter.
Speaker 2: Tommy Evan can make the adjustment out to the left field
Speaker 2: like he did earlier in this series. If Nate be So,
Speaker 2: you got two options right there that can play left
Speaker 2: field for the Dodgers. So, yeah, you don't have to
Speaker 2: look very far Keiky Hernandez, Tommy Edmond, two guys that
Speaker 2: can play left field for you. At eight six seven,
Speaker 2: two seventy. Let's go to Arthur and Marina l Ray.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being patient Arthur on this Sunday afternoon. Another
Speaker 2: another guy living the rough life by the water and
Speaker 2: Marina del Ray.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Arthur.
Speaker 14: It's just cool, Grease. It's tough to hate Tim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm living in the valley where it's
Speaker 2: one hundred and eight right now and just dripping sweat.
Speaker 6: How you doing, Buddy?
Speaker 14: That the smartest saying. I did my movie La for
Speaker 14: a book on It's just.
Speaker 6: Gotcha, gotcha? What's all your mind?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 14: I'll talk about Jason Stone and Bobby Miller, Okay, and
Speaker 14: that necessarily those people in particular. But you know, Jason
Speaker 14: Stone I think is a hero, but it didn't Twitch
Speaker 14: twenty four and you know he was a showrap, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, you're talking about Gavin Stone, who's really been Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's had a great rehab process in Triple A, Oklahoma City.
Speaker 6: We don't talk about him because I don't know how
Speaker 6: much they're gonna ramp him up.
Speaker 5: Arthur.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the phone call, my friend. We got to
Speaker 2: get going here, but I appreciate you checking in. I'll
Speaker 2: give you an update on Gavin Stone right now. Gavin
Speaker 2: Stone last pitch for the Dodge August thirty first, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four. As you alluded to, he has made three
Speaker 2: rehab appearances in Triple A, Oklahoma City. Most recently he
Speaker 2: had three perfect innings, struck out five and through thirty
Speaker 2: eight pitches. So thirty eight pitches, couple of innings. All right,
Speaker 2: he's right there. I think if you gramp him up
Speaker 2: to five and seventy five. Maybe he makes a few
Speaker 2: starts for another team in baseball, But right now, I
Speaker 2: don't know where you slot Gavin Stone into this Dodgers'
Speaker 2: rotation certainly, and even the bullpen. I think we're at
Speaker 2: a point for Gavin Stone here in twenty twenty six that,
Speaker 2: barring and injury, he's most likely looking at finished off
Speaker 2: the year at Triple A and getting some momentum for
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven. That's that's where I think we're at
Speaker 2: with Gavin Stone. I mean, he hasn't pitched in the
Speaker 2: big league levels in two years. I mean we're a
Speaker 2: week away from two years since he last pitched in
Speaker 2: the big leagues. So the last thing you want to
Speaker 2: do is rush back and thirty eight pitches, three scoreless innings.
Speaker 2: That's great, you know the next out is what next
Speaker 2: outing is four innings.
Speaker 6: Maybe fifty pitches.
Speaker 2: Then you get to five and sixty, So that's two
Speaker 2: more starts we're looking at first week in September.
Speaker 6: I just any other team in baseball.
Speaker 2: You know, you look at a Rockies, you look at
Speaker 2: a Padres, you look at a Giants team. I just
Speaker 2: use those as one. You know, the Mariners a West
Speaker 2: Coast team. It's the ones that are close to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Maybe he gets brought back up and they finished the
Speaker 2: season with him trying to re establish himself in the
Speaker 2: big leagues and get some big league innings underneath him
Speaker 2: and ready for.
Speaker 6: Twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: I just don't think outside of an injury happening, there's
Speaker 2: a room for Gavin Stone right now to come back. Oh,
Speaker 2: there's the need right now for him to come back
Speaker 2: and pitch at the big league level.
Speaker 6: Uh, let's go to Oh. Is he is?
Speaker 11: He?
Speaker 12: Is?
Speaker 4: He? Is? He?
Speaker 12: Is?
Speaker 1: He?
Speaker 6: An Anaheim?
Speaker 12: Is he?
Speaker 6: Are you staying cool at least?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know, but I don't mind dagon
Speaker 4: until got hot.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've been to Disneyland when it's been a hot
Speaker 2: at Disneyland, and that's an Anaheim.
Speaker 4: Yeah I know, Yeah, yeah, I know that.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 4: Yesterday I will say do it with.
Speaker 2: So how are you feeling is They've won six in
Speaker 2: a row, They swept the Pirates, they swooped the Rockies.
Speaker 2: Everything is right with Yamamoto and school and Blake Snell.
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about bing bang boom right there
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers in their rotation. Now you got Tyler
Speaker 2: Glass now and then Sasaki and then's back to Yamamoto.
Speaker 6: I mean you have to like where the student's at
Speaker 6: right now?
Speaker 3: Is he?
Speaker 6: Come on?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not convinced with them right now, But that
Speaker 4: wasn't then I got.
Speaker 3: To get this off my chist.
Speaker 4: Oh the stupid dog page to using the B A
Speaker 4: B is so aged. I am so Tighting any of
Speaker 4: the Dodgers is just driving me crazy. We need to
Speaker 4: tape them for the pitches. I'm not well put the catches.
Speaker 3: I mean, come onis, I they rather.
Speaker 4: Even talk to you about I need to get David
Speaker 4: to give them my phone namag Jackie, I will, I will,
Speaker 4: but but listing the playing.
Speaker 7: Game, we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4: I'm they're not convinced. I'm this saving where ran.
Speaker 3: It will be big this weekdays.
Speaker 4: At least needs win two hours to the it.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think you have to win two or three in
Speaker 2: Atlanta and then it's off to Detroit where school is
Speaker 2: going to make us his return against his former team.
Speaker 2: It's an exciting roach of coming up. Is he please
Speaker 2: stay cool? We'll talk to you in a couple of days. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, there she goes, is he in Anaheim our
Speaker 2: final caller here on Dodger Talk As the Dodgers get
Speaker 2: the four nothing to win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, she
Speaker 2: mentioned Dave Roberts. Let's head back out to Dodgers Day.
Speaker 2: Let's see what the postgame comming to the Dodger skipper were.
Speaker 15: We're pitching, well, I'm starting pitching has been fantastic. You know,
Speaker 15: it's good to see Blake follow up scoopls outing, excuse me,
Speaker 15: Almamotos outing, and just getting us into the game, chance
Speaker 15: to win and be able to you know, with the
Speaker 15: off day Thursday, the off day tomorrow, the bullpen's in
Speaker 15: a good spot. I thought, Henriquez has really been throwing
Speaker 15: the baseball. Well, it was, you know, good to see
Speaker 15: the guys come in and Brock's been great and so
Speaker 15: you know, Alex worked out of a leadoff walk situation.
Speaker 15: But I thought the ball was coming out while velocity
Speaker 15: was up. So yeah, all around, good outing, and you
Speaker 15: know this, it was hot today, so it was just
Speaker 15: good to see Blake be efficient.
Speaker 3: Tyler on Tuesday, do you feel like you're really getting
Speaker 3: a really deals with this rotations looking like moving.
Speaker 11: Forward, we do.
Speaker 15: We feel good about it. I'm excited to see Tyler
Speaker 15: back and I know he's been missing competing, worked hard
Speaker 15: to get healthy, to get his pitch count up, and
Speaker 15: now finally participate. And like I said, it's gonna be
Speaker 15: a fun series here against the Braves and it'll be
Speaker 15: good to get Tyler back in the mix.
Speaker 13: How many meaningful is that Alec can hunter head contributions
Speaker 13: over the weekend?
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 15: You know, Hunter's on a nice job behind the plate,
Speaker 15: but getting some offensive production from there is great. And
Speaker 15: then you know Alec, you know, being in a different
Speaker 15: environment to throw out some big hits and driving a
Speaker 15: couple of runs was great. And he'll be out there
Speaker 15: on Tuesday and Wednesday against those guys. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 15: he's a big league ballplayer.
Speaker 9: Did you haven't had your projected rotation all sees it
Speaker 9: long and your ideally.
Speaker 8: Just a few days from that happening.
Speaker 6: How much do you.
Speaker 5: Look forward to having your group together and the ability
Speaker 5: to kind.
Speaker 2: Of be together what October could looked like?
Speaker 15: Really excited? I think, you know, from one side, it's
Speaker 15: good for us to feel like every single night we
Speaker 15: have a chance to win with the starter on the
Speaker 15: other side. It's it's like I've used before, it's daunting
Speaker 15: as an offense opposing offense to look at the probables
Speaker 15: and you see glass now Yamamoto, SNeW Sasaki and then
Speaker 15: potentially show Hey, it's like it gets daunting. And so
Speaker 15: from our standpoint, you know, you feel like you can keep,
Speaker 15: you know, sustaining this run that we're on right now.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell said he should have been better than he
Speaker 2: was today, and obviously that's what.
Speaker 6: Makes him who he's become.
Speaker 2: How exciting is that for the future, that that's his
Speaker 2: mindset restarts in and it's another.
Speaker 11: Month of play.
Speaker 15: Like I said, you know a few weeks ago, he's
Speaker 15: on a mission. I see it. I've talked to him,
Speaker 15: and he's putting in the work. And again I like
Speaker 15: the way he's pounding the strike zone, and his slider's
Speaker 15: really good. The curveballs as good as I've seen it,
Speaker 15: and then you got his arguably his best secondary pitch
Speaker 15: to change up and the fastball is playing really well.
Speaker 15: So yeah, he could have been better, in his words,
Speaker 15: but I thought he's pretty dann good.
Speaker 2: All right, there's a manager Dave Roberts. He hit it
Speaker 2: right on the head, daunting. That is the best way
