WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (8-11-26) 

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three feat has begne.

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 3>This is World Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.919

<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, David Vaseast.

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vase live at Dodgers Stadium.

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 2>After the Dodgers walk it off against the Royals five

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 2>to four in ten innings. We have phone lines open

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>at eight six, six, nine, eight seven two five seventy.

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Jose Moto will check in at eleven fifteen. In a moment,

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll head downstairs to hear from Blake Snell, who had

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>a dominant return. That's the best way to describe been

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>a dominant return to the mound after not pitching since

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 2>undergoing that nanoscope procedure from doctor Elatrogh. He comes back

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 2>six innings, ten strikeouts, one earn run. We'll also get

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodgers' bullpen. Trust tree. Where's your trust tree

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>at right now? Eight six six nine, eight seven two

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>five seventy plus you'll hear from Dalton Rushing. We had

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 2>a chance to catch up with Rushing for the first

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>time since going on the il with that strained UCL.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 2>But hey, before we get to all that, I just

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 2>gotta ask you. I know we hear about the NBA

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>and team's tanking. Tonight was the royal seventy second loss

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>of the year. And I understand there's one out in

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the tenth inning and the winning run

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>is ninety feet away in sho Hao Tani. But if

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I had to choose between pitching to Kyle Tucker or

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>Mac Monsey with the game on the line, the winning

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>run ninety feet away, I'm going Monsey nine out of

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the ten times. And there were some questionable managing decisions

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>from the Royals dugout this side, and I think that

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>was the most questionable. And I know people are tweeting

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>out me. There was one no you could go to

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>four so tot any base or double play. Yeah, I

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 2>get it, I get it. But Max Monsey in that situation,

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what he's hitting. I'm taking Max Munsey,

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 2>He's been in that situation countless times.

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he can get.

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>The ball in the air to score Otani. It doesn't

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>need to be a grand Slam, it doesn't need to

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>be a base hit. He was going to get the

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>ball in the air to score Otani, and I felt

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 2>like in the beginning part of that at bat, Monsey

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>was trying to hit a grand Slam, and then he

0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>recalibrated and on a two to two pitch was able

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to hit the ball over a drawn in outfield, and

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 2>that was the right call.

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>That was their only chance to.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Try to throw out Otani in a bang bang type

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 2>of play. But yeah, I mean, I was shocked that

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>you would intentionally walk Kyle Tucker to face, maximunth. See,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what the situation is. I'm pitching a

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Tucker all day long, and the Royals paid for it.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 2>They lose five to four tonight in ten innings. And

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 2>Seth Halverson, who's a very interesting arm the Dodgers acquired

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>from the Rockies, was throwing one hundred miles an hour.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>He has a big arm, but obviously needs some refinement.

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 2>He told me before today's game. Connor McGinnis the Dodgers

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>pitching coach alongside Mark Pryor. But Connor McGinnis already had

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>started to show salth Haverson some different things, and he

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>said he's been trying it in the bullpens and off

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.040
<v Speaker 2>a flat ground and it already felt great. And that

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 2>translated when it counted the most in the ten thinning.

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>So congratulations to Seth Halverson putting the pressure cooker in

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the tenth thinning and delivers a scoreless inning to pick

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>up his first win as a Dodger in extra innings

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>five to four. The Dodgers win it in ten. It's

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 2>their sixth walkoff win of the year. Max Smuntsey has

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 2>two of those walkoff hits. Dalton Rushing has two of

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>those walkoff hits as well. Eight six, six, nine, eight

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number? All right,

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>before we hear from Blake Snell, I'll just ask you

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>this question. Coming into this homestand in the first two

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>games of this series, if I asked you who is

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>going to pitch better and who was going to dominate,

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>was it going to be Ter Skooble or was it

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 2>going to.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Be Blake Snell.

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, it turned out that Blake Snell was the one

0:04:54.040 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 2>that dominated and look he he's It's incredible what he

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 2>did tonight. But it just shows again how talented Blake

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Snell is and at his best there is nobody better,

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>including Trek Scuble. We saw that in October last year.

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Trek Scuoble has two and a half really good pitches,

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>and he's a great competitor, and he's available or has

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>been available more than Blake Snell. The only challenge for

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Snell in his career is his availability, which is number one.

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>But when he's available and he's on the mound, I

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>would take him as the best lefty and all of baseball,

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 2>and that includes Tarrek Scuble, And that's nothing to take

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>away from Schooble. Just s Nell is has four elite pitches,

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and tonight he came out firing ninety six, was sitting

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 2>ninety six, was using his curveball. And I had told

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 2>you that That's the one thing Snell expressed to me

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.239
<v Speaker 2>the most, the range of motion he now has after

0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>undergoing that nanoscope on his left elbow. It's given him

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 2>more range of motion to be able to snap his

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 2>curveball and to get it where he wants it. He'd

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 2>been always searching for the curveball the last year and

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>a half and he couldn't understand why until he realized

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>after surgery, A, I can feel my fingertips again, and

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>B I have more range of motion than I ever

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 2>had before. And you saw that on display tonight. The fastball,

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the curveball played off that ninety six and the Royals

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 2>were talking to themselves going back to the dugout and

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.039
<v Speaker 2>that's never a good sign for an offense, but a

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>great sign for the pitcher.

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And look, Blake, I'm not.

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Saying I was coming into this game tonight thinking Snell

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.080
<v Speaker 2>was going to strike out ten and six innings, But

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 2>that's a great sign for the Dodgers moving forward. Let's

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 2>head downstairs right now to hear from Snell Zilla on

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:53.679
<v Speaker 2>sports and at LA.

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 1>That was good.

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 5>I felt like Atlanta helped me a lot, just with

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 5>how it fell, the results. Pretty frustrating to have that

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 5>as my only start and then I have to rehab

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 5>go through all that to come back. So yeah, I

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.880
<v Speaker 5>just had a lot of information from that game that

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 5>helped me with this one on what I want to

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 5>do differently and how I wanted to start so I'm

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 5>definitely happy that I was more aggressive, more in the zone,

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 5>and more just in control of my emotions for being

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 5>the first one back you just.

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 4>Seeing how you were able to execute your pitches, though,

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you told me the other day how good

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 4>the elbow in your shoulder feel right now? Was it

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 4>telling to you about just seeing the shape of your pitches,

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 4>how they were coming out, how you're executing, just being

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 4>with I imagine a little bit extra adrenaline today.

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was more calm than I thought I was

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 5>going to be, so that was good. But the curve

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 5>ball is like finally coming back to how like I

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 5>remember it being. It was always a pitch that was

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.679
<v Speaker 5>a wipeout I could throw it, but now I'm finally

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 5>releasing it where I need to release it, and I'm

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 5>kind of releasing everything in the same slot out in front.

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 5>So I'm happy with it. Just got to get ahead

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 5>on Bobby. What if I get ahead there? I like

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 5>my odds and that it bad, but I mean overalled it.

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 5>There was a lot of weak contact and commanded his

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.320
<v Speaker 5>own Yeah, really well.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:17.679
<v Speaker 2>But you're located a fastball as a lot of early

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 2>What does that do with that open everything? Else up

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>for you.

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean the reason why I'm good is the fastball.

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 5>That's really good characteristics and I'm able to locate it

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 5>where I want.

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>And when I'm able to do.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 5>That makes everything a lot a lot better. And then

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.280
<v Speaker 5>you know, not being predictable helps as well. But being

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 5>able to locate the fastball, I thought I did pretty good.

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 5>I think I could be a lot better, but yeah,

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 5>definitely for game one, I'm I'm happy with that.

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 6>You talked about how good you've been feeling coming back

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 6>and how excited you were to try to pitch really

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.600
<v Speaker 6>well the rest of the way. I mean could come

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 6>out and strike out the side of the first and

0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 6>then just put together back kind of start like a

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 6>validating that kind of how you were feeling coming into this,

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 6>both kind of physically inventory.

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think the biggest thing was just being aggressive,

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 5>being his own attack. I know how good my stuff is,

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 5>so I didn't want to just be nibbling and then

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, complaining like, oh, let's just starting that. I

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.680
<v Speaker 5>didn't want to do any of that again like I

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 5>did in Atlanta, so or reverse Atlanta, and then yeah,

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 5>to strike out the side is good, but it's just

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 5>keeping the pace, keeping the VLO where I needed to be,

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 5>feeling strong, Like, those things mattered a lot to me.

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.559
<v Speaker 5>So to be able to do that for six innings

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 5>and feel like I had more left, I'm excited about that.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 7>And I was earlier rehab that you felt good, But

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 7>it's impossible to replicate a major league environment in those settings.

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 7>Being back at Dodger Stadium, how much more did that help?

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 7>With the execution, with being aggressive and all those.

0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:54.400
<v Speaker 5>Exaltly helped a lot, because that was difficulty. Like you're

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 5>throwing the ball and you're like curveball and it's like

0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 5>change up, and you're like change up as a slider.

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 5>You're like, I don't even know what I'm doing. So

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 5>to have that start and be that frustrated pitching knowing

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 5>that I can't throw anything that I want with any shape,

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 5>to be able to come here and just pitch and

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 5>know like I could throw a curveball where I want,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 5>whenever I want, and a fastball and I felt way better.

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 5>But Salt Lake was so difficult. Oh my god. If

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 5>I played in Salt Lake growing up, I don't know

0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 5>if I'd be here today, I promise you.

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. That was his last rehab start.

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 2>A lot of pitchers have said Salt Lake City is

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.199
<v Speaker 2>not the ideal place to pitch. So take notice, major

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball, if you're thinking about expansion out there. Eight

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.839
<v Speaker 2>six six seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>You heard what Snell said. He told you what he's

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>been telling me about the curveball, about the extension. And

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.880
<v Speaker 2>it played out tonight. And I loved when he was

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 2>on the attack from pitch one. And can you believe

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.839
<v Speaker 2>that was the first time in what I guess two

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 2>years is for Blake SNeW first time he has struck

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>out the side as a Dodger. That's pretty impressive. And

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 2>he went out there through the fastball up in the

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 2>strike zone and retied the first nine batters that he faced.

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>In fact, he retired the first ten batters that he faced.

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers walk it off against the Royals five to four

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 2>in ten innings. Let's go out to the phones. Josh

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 2>in Ontario, You're on Dodger Talk.

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 8>How you doing, Josh, Hey, Dave, thanks for taking my call.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 8>I thought a week ago and I asked you if

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 8>you could tell MOOKI about the high Socks, and today

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 8>he rocked the high Socks and hit a homer and

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 8>the RBI single. So I just hear know, just for

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 8>my personal ego, did you tell him anything?

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I I never had a chance to, Josh. I want

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>to take credit for that, so I let it played out.

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 2>But he played. He played really well tonight, and I

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 2>guess the high Socks will stay there, Josh.

0:11:58.720 --> 0:11:59.719
<v Speaker 8>I hope so too, Dave.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 9>Are you getting to that all right?

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Josh?

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the phone call, Yeah, MOOKI was nice to

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 2>see first home run Mookie Betts says hit at Dodgers

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Stadium since June nineteenth. Tonight in the second inning, he

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.680
<v Speaker 2>had three hits, an RBI double.

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.559
<v Speaker 1>I loved his game, tying double.

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You just need to go up the middle there or

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>the other way, and we haven't seen Mookie do a

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of that this year.

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 1>A lot of his hits are to the left side.

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>That was impressive that he was able to shoot it

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 2>to right field right there to score the tying run.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's go out to La pent Day. No, you're on

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Talk.

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 3>How you doing David's noe? You pronounced the Dave?

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 4>No, we.

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 3>There we go. What's up, Dave, Dave, good night obviously

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 3>for Mookie Bets Patty from the sixth spot. Dave, he's

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 3>seven for nine, like it. I feel like it just

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 3>woke him up.

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So it's the high socks and hitting six, batting.

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 3>Six, Dave Roberts has should keep him in the sixth

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 3>from now on until he until he starts slacking off.

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 3>But for the most part, Mookie bet seven for ninety,

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 3>was three for four with the with the Cubs, four

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 3>for five with the Cubs, three for four tonight. There's

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 3>no need to move them anywhere else in the lineup.

0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Keep them in the sixth spot.

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I'm not opposed to that. I mean, let's give

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 2>him a little bit more of a runway to see

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>what he could do. Yeah, the sixth spot, to me

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit better than the fifth spot. That

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>seems to fit him better. So he seemed happy tonight, no,

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 2>he So let's keep it rolling. Thanks for the phone call.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine seven two five seventy is the

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Dodgers walk it off in ten innings against

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>the Royals five to four, despite a little rockiness from

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the outfield defense tonight. I mean in the fifth inning,

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>when Snell was out there and needed some help, Tyler

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Tolbert hit a busted broken bat flair in shallow right field.

0:13:58.679 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Down by the line.

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 2>No, it was going to be a hit, but I

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 2>would have loved to have seen Kyle Tucker run a

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.760
<v Speaker 2>little harder to try to prevent Tolbert for going for two.

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Tolbert did, he got to third base, and Snell was

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 2>able to strand him there, retiring the next three batters

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>that he faced. And also the most obvious defensive issue tonight,

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Andy pie has catching a fly ball from Carter Jensen

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>in center field and then as he was going to

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 2>throw the ball back in, he muffed it. It went

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.479
<v Speaker 2>all the way back to the wall, so Jack Caglione

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>went from second to third, third to home and that's

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>how the Royals took the lead. So obviously not ideal

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>defense right there, but luckily the Dodgers are able to

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>overcome it against the team that has lost seventy two

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>games on the year. Let's go out to bing in Washington.

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing binging?

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 9>Is good?

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Hey?

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey?

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 9>Three things man. First of all, I've been a fan

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 9>since the early sixties. Grew up in Socow. I used

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 9>to sit in my dad's Dodge dark Wagon and listen

0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 9>to the game Fall Asleep, He come and get me in? Man,

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 9>was the game different back then? You know, Maury Wills,

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 9>Don Drysdale, Sandy Kofax.

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 8>What a game.

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 9>The second thing I want to talk about is, you

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 9>know a lot of a lot I hear a lot

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 9>on your podcast. Everybody's worried about what's going on with

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 9>the Dodgers. It's just regression to the mean. Talent helps

0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 9>you be above the mean, and the Dodgers certainly have that,

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 9>so they're they're going places three. Doc, I'm sure recognizes

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 9>that there's stages of team development, and there's been a

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 9>lot of players go out and new players go in,

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 9>and that means that you're going back in the stage

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 9>of the team development and you have to work through them.

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 9>You know, they are forming, storming, g norming, and finally performing.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.520
<v Speaker 9>So if Doc Man and I see he's doing it,

0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 9>del Bok, That's what I got to talk about, all right.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Being thank you for the phone call, Thanks for listening

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 2>on the iHeartRadio app eight six six nine eight seven

0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the

0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Royals tonight five to four in ten innings. The Dodgers

0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 2>win a series for the first time since the last

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:27.800
<v Speaker 2>homestand the last time the Dodgers won a series was

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 2>against the Mariners before being swept by the Red Sox,

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>starting a seven game losing streak. But certainly the Dodgers

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 2>are starting to show signs of life offensively, which is

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 2>a good thing because after tomorrow night they're going to

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 2>welcome in the Milwaukee Brewers, who lost again tonight to

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Walker Bueller and the San Diego Padres, so a big

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>four game series between two of the best teams record

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 2>wise in the National League. And look, the Dodgers are

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>going to win the NLS. That is not a doubt

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 2>in my mind. All the Dodgers need to do now,

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.239
<v Speaker 2>the goal should be is to be one of the

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 2>top two seeds in the National League so they don't

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 2>have to play a wildcard round like they did last

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 2>year against the Cincinnati Reds and start the NLDS on

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the road. Right now, they have the same record as

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 2>the Atlanta Braves Atlanta one again tonight, the Brewers, like

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned, lost Tuna road to San Diego they're two

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 2>games ahead of the Dodgers in the lost column.

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:30.880
<v Speaker 1>And when we.

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Talk about the Dodgers' trust tree for the bullpen, Dave

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Roberts talks about it. Right now, I would say the

0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 2>two guys that I trust more than anybody are Tanner

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Scott and Edwin Diaz at Gardo and Riquez who came

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 2>in and pitched a scoreless inning. He's up there, Alex

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Zavessi and Jack Dryer, and I think we all have

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to give Evan Phillips a little bit of grace. This

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:59.479
<v Speaker 2>guy has not pitched in nearly two years, and he

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>was pitching hurt throughout the entire twenty four Playoffs, couldn't

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 2>pitch in the World Series, had major surgery, and since

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 2>he's come back, you know, he's been thrown into the

0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 2>fire in high leverage situations. That's a lot to ask

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>of a guy that had major arms surgery who's working

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.359
<v Speaker 2>his way back. He's healthy, of course, but as he

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 2>saw again tonight, the command of the fastballs just not there.

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 2>The sweeper's not the same. So I don't know. Maybe

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I was I was expecting too much from Evan Phillips,

0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 2>And I have no doubts that you know, as time

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 2>goes on, he's gonna resemble the Evan Phillips before this

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>long road back. But do we have two high expectations

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.919
<v Speaker 2>to expect Evan Phillips to go back to being the

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 2>super reliever that he was before surgery two years ago.

0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that was wishful thinking. Eight sixty six nine eight

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number Tonight's game

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 2>brought to you by Modello Modello The Mark of a Fighter.

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned the Dodgers have six walkoff wins this season.

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Two of those hits came from Max Muncie, who homered

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.640
<v Speaker 2>against the Rangers for a walkoff win earlier in the year,

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>back in April. Also, Freddie Freeman had a walk off

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 2>home run against the Angels on June fifth. Kyle Tucker

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>had a walk off base hit against the Marlins back

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 2>in April as well. But Muncie and Dalton Rushing are

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the two Dodgers that have multiple walkoff hits this season.

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.160
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like we are not respecting how much

0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing meant to this lineup. And I know he

0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.879
<v Speaker 2>went viral a couple of times because the camera was

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 2>on him during those emotional outbursts in the first couple

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 2>of months of the year, but he started to settle down. Obviously,

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.600
<v Speaker 2>still had a little bit of ways to go to

0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 2>control the emotions. But offensively this I had twelve home runs,

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.399
<v Speaker 2>had an eight hundred ops, hitting eighth or ninth for

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. They missed that thump, They missed that threat

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of their lineup, and I feel like

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 2>we're all not appreciating that hole in the lineup. Obviously

0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 2>without Will Smith for the majority of the year, but

0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.159
<v Speaker 2>without Dalton Rushing, now that's a big hole there. And

0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers are waiting on Will Smith probably coming back,

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.919
<v Speaker 2>if not, you know, if all goes well, probably the

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 2>first week of September, but that's still a few weeks away.

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Until then, it's Ben Roetfitt and Hunter Fiducca. Roht Fitt

0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 2>did a nice job tonight catching, but you can't compare

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 2>those two guys offensively to Dalton Rushing and Will Smith.

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.439
<v Speaker 2>Earlier today, we had a chance to catch up with

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Rushing for the first time since being a late scratch

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday Night Baseball before that last game against the

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.919
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox and the first time since officially going on

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the il with that strained UCL.

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 10>I was throwing in the outfield, felt something didn't fill

0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 10>a pop or anything, but felt pretty serious. Is it

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:13.400
<v Speaker 10>kind of tightened up on me a little bit? Quinn

0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 10>got the imaging. Obviously, imaging said what it said. After

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 10>getting opinions on opinions, we then come to an agreement

0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 10>that surgery is not necessary. So yeah, we're gonna rehab

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 10>the muscle on the inside of my form. And the

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.800
<v Speaker 10>details as to the timeline, I don't really have any

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.680
<v Speaker 10>for you, But at the same time, I can say

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 10>it feels ten times better than it did a week ago,

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 10>and as soon as I can be throwing a baseball,

0:21:44.440 --> 0:21:44.880
<v Speaker 10>I will be.

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 2>How big of a relief was it to know that

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 2>you're not gonna have to have surgery on your elbow?

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Good.

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 10>I'm not a big fan of needles, knives or anything

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.199
<v Speaker 10>like that. So once we come to an agreement that

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:02.120
<v Speaker 10>it wasn't necessary right now then and it was obviously

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 10>a good bit of relief. Now it's just let's get

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 10>it right as quick as possible.

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Right now.

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.560
<v Speaker 10>Like I said, I don't make the decisions, but right

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 10>now I don't. I don't think it'll be necessary obviously,

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 10>planning that throwing goes of course, and everything goes great.

0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 10>Getting back throwing the ball. Whenever that is then yeah,

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 10>well we'll stay away from surgery. But right now the

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:25.880
<v Speaker 10>plan surgery is not in the.

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Picture, all right, that's good news.

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing believes he has two months to try to

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 2>get his arm to cooperate. He's going to strengthen the

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 2>muscles around that right ucel and see where it goes

0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 2>from there. But he was pretty candid right there. He

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:44.359
<v Speaker 2>won't know until he starts throwing, and he doesn't know

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 2>when that's going to be either. He's still swinging the bat.

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see where it goes with Dalton Rushing. But

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 2>the latest on Will Smith, who incredibly now is ahead

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 2>of Dalton Rushing as far as returning. Will Smith took

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 2>BP in the cage yesterday. He played catch out on

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 2>the field today and the plan is to have Will

0:23:06.119 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Smith take batting practice on the field before the end

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 2>of the homestand and see where that goes. So fingers

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 2>crossed Will Smith can return. So I saw Will Smith

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 2>with my own eyes today and he wasn't running well,

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 2>he did run away from me once in the clubhouse,

0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:26.399
<v Speaker 2>but on the field he did not run away from me.

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 2>So there was a Will Smith siding today eight six

0:23:30.119 --> 0:23:33.040
<v Speaker 2>six nine, eight seven, two five seventies the phone number

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers walk it off against the Royals and ten innings tonight,

0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Max Munsey with the hit to score show Hey Otani.

0:23:40.600 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 2>And in between Snell and Muncie's heroics, there were two

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:50.119
<v Speaker 2>outfielders that have had interesting last three weeks. Alex Call

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 2>had not started in three weeks. He got the starting

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>left field and actually drove in a run in in

0:23:56.920 --> 0:23:59.879
<v Speaker 2>this game in the seventh inning for an RBI double.

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:03.480
<v Speaker 2>And Alex Call was a pregame guest earlier today he

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.360
<v Speaker 2>described just how he has stuck to his process and

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 2>how there was nowhere else he'd rather be than with

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers, and whenever his opportunities came about, he would

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:18.120
<v Speaker 2>be ready. And how about Taoscar Hernandez who was pinchit

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.960
<v Speaker 2>for last night. Tonight he was the pinch hitter and

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 2>delivered an RBI double to score a call. So there

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:29.520
<v Speaker 2>you go, two guys that our our team, guys are

0:24:29.560 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 2>accepting whatever their roles are going to be the rest

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of the season, delivering back to back RBI doubles in

0:24:36.560 --> 0:24:38.720
<v Speaker 2>that seventh inning, so that was huge as well.

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna take a time out.

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 2>When we continue, Jose Moda will join us and we'll

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>take more of your phone calls at eight sixty six

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:49.320
<v Speaker 2>nine eight seven two five seventy. I know, I know

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:52.199
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to call in. Don't worry. I'm not

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna rub it in your face. You doubt it, snail Zilla.

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>It's cool. I will not do that to you.

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>But he's back in a big ten strikeouts and six

0:25:02.280 --> 0:25:04.840

<v Speaker 4>It's time to go around the horn with Hosean Moses.

0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, jose I was excited about snell Zilla day,

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:28.640
<v Speaker 2>and he exceeded my expectations. Were you expecting ten strikeouts

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 2>and six innings tonight?

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 11>No, by I'm happy it happened. Dave, you know what

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 11>was so good about it?

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 1>What are your expectations?

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.040
<v Speaker 11>I was, you know, based in my mind. If he

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 11>goes five and gives you seventy five, great, But I

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 11>know that Dave Roberts says something so important before the game,

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 11>and he said, I'm I'm I won five seventy five,

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.639
<v Speaker 11>but I don't want to put a hard number on

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 11>the pitches. Because and I'm thinking, well, it could be

0:26:57.119 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 11>that SNeW goes through five at you know, six sixty

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 11>five pitches, you can't take him out, which means he's

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:07.320
<v Speaker 11>thrown strikes, he's being efficient and he's doing his job. David,

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.720
<v Speaker 11>I had not seen Blake's noew this loose with a

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:14.520
<v Speaker 11>consistent release point and dotting balls in and out of

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 11>the zone in a couple of years. And I'm telling

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 11>you what we saw today was not even close to

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 11>what we saw against Cincinnati, what we saw against Milwaukee.

0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:26.120
<v Speaker 11>This was a guy that was in total control and

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 11>not feeling for where he was. It was pretty much

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:30.520
<v Speaker 11>you know what this is, August. It is compete mode.

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 11>And I love his mentality, his looseness on the mound,

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 11>being relaxed as he mentioned, but the execution was absolutely

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 11>off the charts. And so happy that he's back at

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:40.359
<v Speaker 11>this pace.

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was a great tone setter when he came

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:47.520
<v Speaker 2>out right away and was being aggressive with his fastball.

0:27:47.640 --> 0:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Like he said, he wasn't nibbling like he did a

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of last year. He relied on his fastball and

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 2>let the curve ball play off of it.

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 11>When everything is you know, you trust your stuff you're

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 11>not holding back to see if you're recoiling because your

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 11>shoulder's gonna hurt, and you don't think about any of

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 11>those restrictions.

0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:04.439
<v Speaker 4>Dave.

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 11>It's such a different mindset, such freedom to pitch like that.

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.680
<v Speaker 11>And with the guy that's had, he's got the harderware.

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 11>I mean, he's got the word hard to reprove it,

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 11>he's got the ring. But now as a matter of

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 11>just being able to almost relearn some things. You know,

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:20.720
<v Speaker 11>you talk about Salt Lake City, he's joking, but you

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 11>know what, he's learned some things that every time out

0:28:23.840 --> 0:28:26.280
<v Speaker 11>good or bad, he's gonna say something about his performance.

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.639
<v Speaker 11>It's just gonna open your ears and go, well, this

0:28:28.680 --> 0:28:30.880
<v Speaker 11>guy's really it thinking, really wants to do better, wants

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 11>to be excellent. So you know, you go out there

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 11>and throw eighty four pitches and you throw your fastball

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 11>forty five times, and you're not chasing velocity, you're not

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 11>chasing strikehouse. You're just allowing the hitter to dictate what

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 11>you're gonna throw. But when we have that type of

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 11>arm and the dotting of the fastball, which reminded me

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 11>more like a Yemma multi type fastball, it's just remarkable

0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 11>and fun to watch because he gets into a rhythm

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 11>and it's all very soon. If you look at vertical

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 11>break and horizontal break today, with a change of horizonal

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 11>and the breaking ball going down vertically, it was just

0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 11>a perfect combination for your hitters not to find anything

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.120
<v Speaker 11>in the zone on the plane with their swings to

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 11>square it up, all.

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Right, Jose Mota, the Dodgers tonight come back and win

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 2>it in ten innings. We saw mookie bets have three

0:29:15.800 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>hits tonight. I know it's the Royals. I know they've

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>lost seventy two games. I know they have the worst

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:24.760
<v Speaker 2>bullpen in baseball. With all that being said, with the

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers scoring six runs last night, winning this one five

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 2>to four and ten innings, are you starting to see

0:29:31.960 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 2>better at bad quality? Are you starting to see better

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 2>signs from this offense before they get the Brewers on Thursday.

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:41.160
<v Speaker 11>Dave is happening, and it's happened at the right time,

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 11>Royals or not. I mean, they're making a very tough

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 11>on you to beat them. It took ten innings today.

0:29:46.680 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 11>It took harder for yesterday. I'm going to go back

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 11>yesterday to not bad by Migir Rojas and the second

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 11>ending with Mooki Bets after the double. And Rojas is

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:57.200
<v Speaker 11>a guy that you mentioned and you talked about his

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 11>message to the team. He put it in an effort

0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.480
<v Speaker 11>within that bat and trying to get the guy over

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 11>by being a good team player and showing guys what

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 11>you're talking about. You can talk all you want and

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 11>have meetings and text messages and all that, but until

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 11>the players see you in that dugout with your efforts,

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 11>the at beat he put together when he wants it's

0:30:16.720 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 11>pretty much what you want to see. And that is

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 11>the best way to applaud a veteran player that wants

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 11>to see everybody perform at the highest level and just

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 11>don't take it upon yourself. How do you keep the

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 11>line moving by being unselfish? I mean there's tons of

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 11>which you have to be selfish in this game, but

0:30:31.080 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 11>there's tons of what you guys go to. You know what,

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 11>I trust the guy behind me. Let me go back

0:30:34.600 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 11>to that. Today we saw the adjustice by Wilkie Betts.

0:30:37.360 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 11>We saw the adjustice by a guy like Max Munsey,

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:43.120
<v Speaker 11>and it's just good to see how they feed off

0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:45.040
<v Speaker 11>for each other. Same thing going off the bench, guys

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 11>Alex called the atbat he put together. I mean, those

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:50.160
<v Speaker 11>are the things that make the biggest difference this time

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 11>of the year, because the players that have not had

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:54.640
<v Speaker 11>the experience or have been with the team are looking

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 11>for a way. And the way you show up is

0:30:56.840 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 11>by the veteran players showing the rest of the time.

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.000
<v Speaker 11>And they're not going to click in the same day,

0:31:02.040 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 11>but they're showing the way in which you have to

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 11>play baseball more urgency, the way they running the basis. Obviously,

0:31:07.760 --> 0:31:09.239
<v Speaker 11>there's gonna be a couple of mistakes here in there,

0:31:09.240 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 11>but you can overcome them because you have a lot

0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 11>of talent and you have termination too in the ball game.

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:13.959
<v Speaker 1>All right.

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I was asking, I shared my bullpen trust tree. The

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 2>tree's a little thin these.

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Days, Jose.

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to the trust tree. Where's the Dodger

0:31:25.720 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 2>bullpen right now? Obviously in the postseason it's a different

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>story when you can move starters into the bullpen. But

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:34.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers still have to get through the next seven

0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 2>weeks of the regular season.

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 11>And they will by finding guys that, as he talked about,

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 11>Aaron Phillips, is still trying to find that point in

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 11>which he has to trust this stuff. Number one. Location

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 11>is an issue. Command is an issue. That's the last

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 11>time to come in for surgery is your arm. I

0:31:51.000 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 11>feel great, but lots of these is great. But just

0:31:53.000 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 11>that command of the one pitch we need it to

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:57.480
<v Speaker 11>be an out is not there. It's happening to him.

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:00.240
<v Speaker 11>But the trust tree is where we start with Alex Vesh.

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 11>He's a guy that you trust the most when men

0:32:02.520 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 11>on base, when things are a little hot in the

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 11>middle of the game or you know, six or seventh inning,

0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:09.719
<v Speaker 11>and from there on, you know from guys like Dryer.

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 11>Obviously you need an Arica's consistency and knowing that one

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 11>good outing doesn't do it. This is just you know,

0:32:16.120 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 11>forty two games to go every outing. You need some

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:21.040
<v Speaker 11>zeros and go out there and support when your office

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 11>is not performing. What the guys are doing on the

0:32:23.240 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 11>mound is starters. So in that case, you know, you

0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 11>got to go out there and believe that Edwin Diaz

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 11>is back and you know what you're going to get

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 11>from Tanner Scott who was so good before Diaz came back,

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.160
<v Speaker 11>and he's back to I think where he needs to be,

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 11>and just continue to get answers as you go. But

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 11>you know very well, David, that as a game progresses

0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 11>and the season progresses, a lot of times those answers

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 11>come by default, would have told that Jack Dard is

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:48.440
<v Speaker 11>going to get a saved last year in Arizona. So

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:50.520
<v Speaker 11>whatever your time comes, just go out there and step

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 11>up it and do the job. But mainly for relievers,

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 11>it's about throwing strikes. If you look go back at

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 11>games given up by relievers and games lost by relievers,

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 11>there's also going to be a waker hit batsman involved

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 11>on the wild pitch.

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 2>What makes a lot tougher, Yeah, no doubt, and that

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.600
<v Speaker 2>goes That makes it a lot harder for any pitcher,

0:33:07.600 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 2>but especially a relief pitcher. All right, Jose, we'll see

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 2>you back out here tomorrow night. Eric Lower on the

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>mound as the Dodgers look to sweep the Royals. Oh hey, Jose,

0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 2>before I let you go, I had to throw this

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:22.520
<v Speaker 2>one at you. I am still dumbfounded how the Royals

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>would walk Kyle Tucker in front of Max Munsey tonight.

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Even with one out.

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I understand trying to get a force play anywhere, but

0:33:30.400 --> 0:33:33.080
<v Speaker 2>come on, you you do not want to see Max

0:33:33.160 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Munsey in that situation.

0:33:35.320 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 11>That's the right guy for the Dodgers. And you know what,

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 11>I'm glad it happened that way, Dave, So let mac

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:40.680
<v Speaker 11>Quatro figure it out.

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 11>The Dodgers also figured out themselves with Max mostly there,

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:44.440
<v Speaker 11>everybody felt pretty good.

0:33:44.360 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, So you agree the Royals were tanking tonight.

0:33:48.120 --> 0:33:51.120
<v Speaker 11>No, they went out to I'll never use that. They're

0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:54.400
<v Speaker 11>playing percentage as you mentioned. Okay, So Kyle Tucker gets

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 11>a basit base open, right, what is gonna hear about?

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 11>Why did you? He could have got a ground ball?

0:34:00.760 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 11>So it's like, but we know what the Dodgers have

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 11>in Max Montcy, and we know what we've seen from

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 11>Kyle Tucker. It's a lot easier to spread the zone.

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 11>And had Kyle Tucker chase right that Max Moncie, look

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 11>what happens. So let's stay with the results, Dave and

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 11>take it. And you know what, you're stepping up like

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 11>a veteran. So keep doing that, all.

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Right, Jose, thanks a lot for checking in there, he

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 2>goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast.

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 2>I love putting him on the spot like that. He

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 2>gets so uncomfortable eight sixty six, nine eighty seven two

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.239
<v Speaker 2>five seventy is the phone number before we say good night.

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of the bullpen, shout out to the man that

0:34:35.520 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 2>has the most saves and Dodger franchise history, ken Lee Jansen,

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:46.240
<v Speaker 2>who is closing in on a manumental milestone for any reliever,

0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>five hundred career saves. Ken Lee Jansen, who recorded three

0:34:51.120 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty saves in his Dodger career now after today,

0:34:56.320 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 2>has four hundred and ninety saves in his career. He

0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 2>is just ten saves away from becoming just the third

0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:09.319
<v Speaker 2>pitcher in baseball history to have five hundred saves in

0:35:09.440 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>their careers. He would join Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera.

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Think about that, ken Lee Jansen, Mariano Rivera, and Trevor

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Hoffman could be in the same sentence. If Kenley's able

0:35:24.239 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to secure ten more saves in his career, he would

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:31.680
<v Speaker 2>have five hundred and would be a lock for the

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame. And I believe he's a lock already.

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:36.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you could say if he came

0:35:36.480 --> 0:35:39.360
<v Speaker 2>up seven saves short of five hundred that all of

0:35:39.360 --> 0:35:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a sudden he's not a lock. I don't know why

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:45.959
<v Speaker 2>that would determine it, but yeah, he's ten away from

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:49.360
<v Speaker 2>five hundred in his career, and the Dodgers are going

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:53.120
<v Speaker 2>back to Detroit at the end of August, and Scooble

0:35:53.200 --> 0:35:55.840
<v Speaker 2>might be facing his old team, Ken Lee might be

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:59.239
<v Speaker 2>in single digits getting closer to five hundred saves, and

0:35:59.360 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 2>Jack Flair obviously still on the Tigers as well, So

0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 2>that'll be a fun trip to Motown at the end

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of August. And before the Dodgers get to Detroit on

0:36:10.160 --> 0:36:12.920

<v Speaker 2>seven ten Thanks to Dwayne McDonald. Dwayne, Dwayne left already.

0:36:33.000 --> 0:36:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I guess you wasn't interested in Kenley Jansen updates all right, Colin,

0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Ye back at our Burbank Studios. Thanks a lot for

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:42.120
<v Speaker 2>hanging in and can't wait to screen your phone calls

0:36:42.120 --> 0:36:44.799
<v Speaker 2>on a beautiful Saturday morning one day, Colin for that

0:36:44.840 --> 0:36:48.920
<v Speaker 2>boxing show. Colin has a great boxing show every Saturday morning.

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 2>They take a lot of phone calls and you never

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.759
<v Speaker 2>know I be screening one of these days soon. So

0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 2>thank you Colin for everything you do back at the

0:36:56.280 --> 0:36:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Burbank Studios, and thanks to you for listening. In case

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:00.880
<v Speaker 2>you missed any of the show, you know where to

0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:04.320
<v Speaker 2>find it the iHeartRadio app. That's where you can find

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:09.040
<v Speaker 2>our pregame conversation with Alex Call, who delivered an RBI

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:11.800
<v Speaker 2>double after not starting for the last three weeks in

0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 2>tonight's game. So Alex Call delivers and certainly happy he

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 2>is still in Dodger Blue once again. The final score

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:23.240
<v Speaker 2>tonight the Dodgers defeat the Royals five to four.

0:37:23.160 --> 0:37:24.240
<v Speaker 1>In ten innings.

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:27.920
