WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (5-24-26) 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:02.960 The quest for the free peat has begun. 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:07.040 Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:11.520 three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:12.600 the fifth fifth. 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.160 This is world Champion Dodger Talk. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.239 Here we go again. We get ready running back. 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.360 To get in on the show called eight six six, 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.000 not eighty seven two five seven days and be sure 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.560 to follow Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts and 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:31.200 now your host, here's Tim Kakes. Well. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.559 The Dodgers head home after what has been an incredible 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:38.080 road trip that started last weekend in Anaheim with the 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:42.360 Freeways Series and an absolute demolishing of the Angels, outscoring 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.559 him thirty one to three. Then they go to San Diego, 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.440 meeting up with the Padres for the first time this year, 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.680 lose the opener one to nothing, only to win Tuesday 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.400 and Wednesday win that series. Day off. Thursday, they head 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.520 to Milwaukee. They lose the opener on Friday, but come 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.959 back and score eleven runs last night and five more tonight, 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.360 and they get the series winning Milwaukee to go seven 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.040 and two on this nine game road trip. Overall, Dodgers 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.120 have won nine of their eleven and I mentioned it 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:13.480 to Jose Modeen the Clubhout Show. I don't know if 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.440 you're with me or not, but the winning is great, 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.640 and there are thirteen games over five hundred, but you 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.440 kind of feel like they still haven't even clicked yet. 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.160 They still are not even running on all cylinders. Offensively 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.240 is certainly the starting pitching wise with the injuries to 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.120 Tyler Glass now and Blake Snell's only made one start 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.360 this year. Just think about how much is still left 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.479 out there for this Dodgers team. Think about offensively they're 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.480 not even clicking yet with all their big boppers with 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.400 Otani oh for three today, but on base a couple 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.360 of times with walks. I mean, Mookie Betts was oh 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.920 for six last night, he was one for five today. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.440 And that base hit with the ball that man Ortiz, 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.520 if he hangs on to it, it makes a clean throw, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.160 probably gets him at first. And it's another zero for 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.480 day for Mookie Betts now hitting one seventy one on 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.360 the season. And you know, Kyle Tucker kind of carrying 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.000 this team on this road trip. Andy pot has doing 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:10.600 everything for this Dodgers team offensively, defensively, hitting for power, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:14.600 a home run today, I mean, they're not even clicking yet, 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.160 and this is a team that's thirteen games over five 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.320 hundred and about to go a game and a half 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.359 up in the division. I just scratched my head and think, Wow, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.800 what's gonna happen when this team does start clicking one 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.600 through nine and get healthy in this starting rotation. I mean, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.520 it's scary to think about the bullpen. I mean, let's 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.040 be honest, they cannot do much more than they're doing 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.320 right now because they are setting just absolute streaks. At 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.399 thirty eight now consecutive scoreless innings, a franchise record. They're 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.760 one in and away from tying a modern record that 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.000 goes to the twenty seventeen Cleveland Guardians that had thirty 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.639 nine consecutive scoreless innings of relief. I mean, you can't 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.200 ask much more from this Dodgers' bullpen. They have been 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:02.720 absolutely lights out, but overall, I mean, gosh, it's scary 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.400 to think what this team still has out there that 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.000 they can get offensively from players, and what they still 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.640 have out there from guys who haven't done a lot 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.400 on the mound recently. And that's one start from Blake 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.639 Snell and Tyler Glass. Now on the injured list. I mean, 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.880 it is absolutely scary when you think about how good 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.560 this team still can be. And they just went seven 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.880 to two on this road trip against the team they 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.880 faced last year in the NLCS, the Pot and the Brewers, 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:30.720 and a team that they're going toe to toe with 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.760 in division yet again in the San Diego Padres eight 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.120 six six nine eight seven two five seventy is a 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.800 telephone number. And right away I got a tweet at 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.200 Tim Kates. If you want to follow me on Twitter though, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:46.000 thus or misters or underscores, just at Tim Kates, Tim 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:51.840 c Ates and Patty sends me this tweet. And I 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.640 did a little research talking to Colin during the break 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.440 there from the clubhouse soda to the Dodger Talk, and 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.840 she said, listening to you on Dodger post game and 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.040 the accolades are giving Andy Pie haz Well deserved. Any 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.440 idea why the Dodgers haven't recognized him with the bobblehead night. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.800 I thought, no, no, no, they've had a bobblehead night 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.760 for Andy Pie. Has Colin? He said, Noop, have not 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.800 went looked at last year. No, Andy Pie has bobblehead 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.400 as far as I know, no Andy Pie has bobblehead 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.159 schedule for this year. Goodness gracious, give Andy pie Haz 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.239 his bobblehead. Andy Pie Haes is having an all Star 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.960 season and we still haven't even gotten to junior yet. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.119 We're just a Memorial Day and he's hitting two eighty 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.000 two on this season. Andy Pie has is slugging at 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.480 a four ninety seven percentage. Andy Pie has now with 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:47.320 eleven home runs. Andy Pie has now forty five runs 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.000 batted in, and that puts him in a tie with CJ. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.880 Abrams of the Washington Nationals for the most in the 0:04:55.000 --> 0:05:00.719 major leagues. Give this guy a bobblehead to think about 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.880 the defensive plays Andy Paiz makes in center field, the 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.360 running catch and right center field two starts ago when 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.240 Justin Robleski was out on the mount in Anaheim. Think 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.400 about the defensive plays he's made last weekend Anaheim twelve 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.760 fly ball out he made one shy of a major 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.880 league record. I mean, think about what he's done in 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.080 this series against the Brewers. Had an RBI yesterday, had 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.479 a two run home run today. The defensive play that 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.760 Andy Pie has made in the third inning, you heard 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.440 the highlight in the clubhouts show. With two outs, Bryce 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:35.200 Terrang hits a ball to left center field to the 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.960 warning track, and from the warning track a one hopper 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.760 to Kim at second to get Terrang trying to stretch 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.800 a single into a double. Andy Piez, to me is 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.800 the MVP of this Dodgers team the first third way 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.360 a third of the season. I mean, the Dodgers now 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.920 are fifty three games into this season. Where would they 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:02.039 be without Andy pais the bliss start that he got 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.280 off to, and there was certainly no way he was 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.800 going to hit over four hundred over the course of 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:11.040 the season. It's certainly leveled out. But Andy pie has 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.200 the hitter. Andy Pi haz the defensive center fielder. The 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.560 amount of ground he covers in the outfield has, you know, 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.800 really closed up that left center and right center field 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.440 for teams to take advantage of and stretch singles into 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.520 doubles and doubles into triples because of what Andy Pai 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.520 has can do. I think about the play at Dodger Stadium. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.560 A couple of homestands ago and Andy pie has in 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.680 center field goes all the way over to left field, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.320 and I think it was Taoscar Hernandez in left field 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.400 to make the catch it what should have been a 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.719 flyball out to Taoscar Hernandez and left field. Pie Haz 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.240 runs all the way over there just to make sure 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.359 somebody got to it and made the catch, and ta 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.560 Oscar looked at him said, dude, no, that's my ball. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.080 Stay in center field. But just think of the ground 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.039 he covered on that play. I mean, where would this 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.320 Dodgers team be without Andy Pots, the struggles of Showhay 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.680 at times, the ups and downs of Mookie Betts, and 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.120 the injury, you know, the Max Munsey's ups and downs. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:13.120 I mean, really, the consistent offensive player through fifty three 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:18.520 games for the Dodgers has been Andy Paijes. The strong 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.800 defensive player night in and night out for this Dodgers 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:26.160 team has been in center field with Andy Paijes and 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.720 Andy Paiez. To me, hands down, needs to be an 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.400 All Star. Now again, it's May. We still got June 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.920 in a couple weeks of July to get through. But 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:41.240 I don't see him falling off a cliff offensively. I mean, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.160 he could have some up and down games here. He 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.360 might go over a series with a little bit of 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.960 a funk. Offensively, it's gonna happen. But you look at 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:52.160 what he's done through fifty three games, tied for the 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.400 most runs back in in baseball, hitting near three hundred 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.240 still on this season eleven home runs. Gosh, get this 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.440 guy to the All Star Game this year. And can 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.600 we get Andy Paez a bobblehead here in twenty twenty six? 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.080 Colin you brought a great point during the break. Get 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.160 him one of the game saving catch bobbleheads from the 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.480 World Series in Game seven from last year. We don't 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.360 need of him won hitting a home run, which he 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.120 can certainly do, but man, how cool would that be 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:21.920 to have him and you know, don't have to put 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.080 Kek in there and left Fiel him crashing into We 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.960 don't have to double up the bobblehead, but if you 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.160 wanted to, that'd be kind of cool. But making that 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.640 game saving catch in Game seven of the World Series, 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.960 that would be phenomenal. Give him his flowers. Andy pot 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.360 Heads the MVP through fifty three games for this Dodgers team, 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.480 hands down, and they come off a seven to two 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.880 road trip, now five or thirty three and twenty overall 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.679 in the season. After a five to one win today 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.800 eight six, six, nine, eight, seven to two five seventy 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.240 is your number again? Eight six six nine eighty seven 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.040 two five seventy. We're gonna hear from Dalton Rushing, who 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.440 didn't have a great date to play today offensive but 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:04.400 certainly continues to catch good games for the Dodgers. Controlling 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.640 this pitching staff f with Will Smith. He was behind 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.240 the play today for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, he was behind the 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.920 plate for a couple of Justin Robleski starts feeling more 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.559 and more confident with rookie Sasaki as well. So we'll 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.760 hear from Dalton Rushing coming up in just a little bit. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.200 But let's go out to the phones. Let's go to 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:25.800 Jeff who's in Milwaukee at the game today. There, Jeff, 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.480 how you doing. Welcome to Dodger Talk, Bett. 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.440 Thank you, Tim. I think it's kind of a get 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.680 right road trip, i'd say, getting to play six of 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.439 those nine games, you know, close to home and then 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.560 coming out here to Milwaukee, and we haven't seen many 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.040 wins in Milwaukee in the last few years, so it 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.680 was nice to see them get some offensive production from 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.680 several different guys and kind of up and down the 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:56.160 lineup and two complete team wins today. 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.560 Yeah, no doubt, a complete team win yesterday and today. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:03.120 They erupted for the eleven runs yesterday and today that 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.920 four run fifth in he gave Yamamoto all the run 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.840 support he needed and it was a great You know, 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:14.000 early pitchers duel Yamamoto and Sproke, but Yamamoto today, Jeff, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.480 how about those seven strong innings he pitched today? What 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.800 was that like watching that there in Milwaukee? 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.680 Yeah, it was great to see the ball just stay 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.920 on the ground. There was no real threats that the 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.520 Brewers could come up with. And the crowds was quiet. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.160 Sold out crowd today. Pretty good attendance over the weekend, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.600 and what a great way to start summer. Blue Skies 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.680 roof was open today. I don't offinse we'll start the summer. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.319 And what a great way to see the boys in 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:42.560 Blue win a couple of games. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:43.679 I don't know what the. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:47.080 Record is for the year wearing their blue jerseys, but 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.080 it's got to be pretty good because it strung some 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.960 good wins together wearing those blue pro jerseys. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:54.840 Yeah, I got to figure that out. I appreciate the 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.559 phone call, Jeff, thanks for checking in from Milwaukee. I 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.360 sold out crowd today of forty thousand, nine, one hundred 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.800 and seventy three at American Family Field there in Milwaukee, 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.520 with the roop open, as Jeff alluded to for the 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.880 first time in these three games against the Brewers and 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.440 the Dodgers with a four run fifth inning, go ahead 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.079 and get the win five to one over the Brewers. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.320 Yoshinoba Yamamoto goes to seven innings back to back outings 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.800 for Yamamoto where he goes seven innings. He was the 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:24.320 tough luck loser against the Padres on Monday at Petco Park, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.520 where he went toe to toe with Michael King and 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.840 lost a one nothing game, but really today, an infield 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.160 single gets out of it with a double play ball 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.360 and then a ground ball out nine pitch first inning, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.240 hits the leadoff batter in the second that runner would 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.240 come around and score in a fielder's choice, the only 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.320 damage done to Yamamoto, who gets helped out by the 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.800 great defensive play by Andy Pays, and the third to 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.880 in the inning gets a ground ball with a couple 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:48.520 of runners on base in the fourth to get out 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.240 of the inning. He didn't have any inning today of 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.760 the seven where he threw north of eighteen pitches in 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.600 the inning, So never one of those twenty four twenty 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.040 seven pitch innings where it just drags on and there's 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.560 constant traffic and he gives up a couple of runs. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.920 No defense helped him out limited his pitch count. He 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.920 was sixty two pitches through five innings today after a 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.000 one two three fifth. He was seventy four pitches through 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.679 six innings after a double but gets Vaughn to ground 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.719 out and in the Indian again, a career high thirteen 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:26.280 ground ball outs by Yamamoto in his outing today, and 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.280 he gets the win to improve to four and four. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.440 Brandon Sprogue gets the loss. He falls to one in three. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.520 We met in Dawson Dalton Rushing, and you know today 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.880 Dalton Rushing goes one for three at the plate, batting 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.120 seventh for Dave Roberts. But it's what he's continuing to 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.720 do behind the plate, defensively, calling a good game, working 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.480 with the pitching staff, and today navigated Yamamoto through seven 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.160 innings of work. Let's head back out two Milwaukee in 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.800 here from Dalton Rushing, Dalton Rushing post game. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.120 Great filing in the ball to the left side of 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.440 the field. I think That tells me a lot about 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.599 where I'm at right now. I think we're training in 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.320 the right direction. It's all starting to come together and 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.120 I'm excited for it working. 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.160 Just with the pitchers, whether it's this game and name 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.079 one first, what did you see from the Yoshi is 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.240 guys were navigating through their lineup really more of not 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.040 seeing swing a mess between the. 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.240 Ball, Yeah, I think they were. They were swinging from 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.520 the get go. Kind of helped us for our game plan. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.800 Let Yoshi go deep in the game, give the bullpen 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:30.160 as little innings as possible to eat up. And obviously 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.839 Tanner and Will came into their thing, but it was 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.120 it was a good showing. Regardless of the mess, regardless 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.880 of the strikeouts. I think it was really good stuff. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.120 It was quality from the get go, and uh yeah, 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:42.559 I'm glad we could only just give them that one 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:42.839 in the. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:44.680 First with the bullpen. 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.200 Just what's impressed to you the most about this stretch 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:47.760 that they're on. 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.480 They're they're pretty relentless. It's everyone wants the ball, regardless 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.520 of who you are, regardless of the situation. They want 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.120 to go out there, they want to succeed. They want 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.520 to obviously show up for the team, and I don't 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.880 think it's really in their head what they're doing right now. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.560 I don't think they're really aware of it. But I 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.440 think that's a good thing about it, is they just 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.199 go out there, throw the ball and good results come. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.000 Respect and will is the way you guys are called 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.440 for them. Jervis. We focused a lot on the relationships stars. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.680 Kind of how do you manage the handling of the thin, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.640 especially at a point like this where you guys have 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:26.400 had so many. 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.000 Different guys like going through that. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.280 You know, I think it's just I mean, obviously understanding 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.360 the situation, but also understanding who it is and what 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.600 they're good at. Allow them to be themselves on the mound. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.000 And we have a lot of guys that have plus 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.480 pitches down there. Doesn't mean we have to land or 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.320 lean on that pitch anymore. But yeah, they're going to 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.200 create their own miss with the way their stuff is. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.000 It's just our our job to really guide them, honestly. 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.000 All right. There's Dalton Rushing talking about navigating this pitching 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.640 staff and a lot about the bullpen, which today two 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.600 more scoreless innings. It struck out two of the three 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.880 batters he faced, in the eighth put up a zero, 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.680 and then Tanner Scott struck out two of the three 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.240 batters he faced in the ninth to put up another zero. 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:13.040 Now thirty eight consecutive scoreless innings for the Dodgers' bullpen, 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.960 which is a franchise record. As the Dodgers beat the 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.320 Brewers today five to one, Dodgers Baseball is brought to 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.120 you by Modello Midello.

Will 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.720 in Long Beach, thanks for being patient. Welcome to Dodger Talk. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.120 How you doing, Will Good Good? 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:33.320 I want to talk about Mooki Betts. 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.440 Yes, what are theys going on with Luki? 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.600 Well? I think Mooki. Mooki yesterday had a no for day. 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.920 Mooki today had one hit, but that hit was a 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.440 tough play up the middle by Ortiz. He's struggling, there's 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.119 no doubt about it. But it's just a matter of 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.080 time when the good thing is, you know, with this team, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.720 Will and I appreciate the phone call. It's not Will, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:55.200 it's not Mookie Bets that's got to carry this team. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.960 And gosh, this team goes as Mookie goes. They are 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.800 so fortunate to have the depth that they have that 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.320 when things aren't going right, for a show Aotani who's 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:05.080 zero for three today but on base a couple of 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.439 times with the walk they got a Kyle Tucker to 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.440 pick him up. They got any poe has to pick 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.680 him up. And that's what's so good about this team 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.280 is a guy like Mookie bats can be in a 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.920 funk this year, hurt this year hitting won seventy one 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.440 on the season, and the Dodgers can still be a 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.720 really good team and lead the division and will be 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.320 thirty three and twenty overall. And that's why I said 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.680 at the beginning of the show, just think if this 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.080 team is clicking on all cylinders, with Mookie clicking and 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.080 Shoeo Tani clicking and Freeman and Tucker and pa Has. 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.920 I mean, how much better can this team be? It's 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.720 scary to think. And they're already a thirteen game above 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.879 five hundred team and atop the NL West. Freddy Freeman 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.679 today on base twice but struck out three times, and 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.680 you can see in his face some of the disgust 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:49.760 that he's got with his at bats and just is 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:51.919 not feeling it right now. And you know, Freddy, to 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.080 his credit, will always say he's not feeling and always 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.480 tinkering and always working and doesn't feel right at the box, 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.320 But you know still goes out there and hits three 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.480 hundred on the season. But I got confidence Muki will 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.160 turn it around. Muk he'll get right. I just think, 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.639 you know, he's in one of those ruts. You gotta 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:08.840 hope that he's gonna turn things around. There's no time 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.520 to pull the ripcord and you know, abandoned Mookie. That's 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.560 not gonna happen. He's too good of a hitter and 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.919 too good of a player to sit at one seventy 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.480 one on this season. So Muki'll get right. He needs 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.879 one of those games, one of those series, and who knows, 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:26.680 it could be Colorado Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, a bottom feeder, 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.200 a you know, last place team in the NL West, 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.520 could be exactly what Mookie Betts needs to get going offensively. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.639 A hard hit ball Mookie Bets had and it was 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.920 this last at bat or second to last at bat. 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.040 There that guy in that base hit and that was 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.719 a smokeing ball right back up the middle or Tease. 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.880 The shortstop for Milwaukee made a great diving stop, got up, 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.800 just couldn't make the transition from glove to his throwing 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.960 hand to get the play at first and get Mookie Betts. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.440 It was an infield single, but it was a hard 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.040 hit ball and you gotta feel good about that, and 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.800 maybe he can build on that beginning tomorrow against the 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.000 Colorado Rockies and hit one out, go two for four, 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.000 start to feel right. So we talked about the Angels 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.000
