<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles.

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.920

<v Speaker 2>Communication is a very important thing no matter what you're doing,

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>what you're involved with. In relationships, you gotta be able

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to communicate.

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 4>You gotta be able to talk it out.

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 2>You gotta be on the same page, whether with your

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:47.080

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 2>with your picture. And tonight's in the second inning, we

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>saw Dalton Rushing and Showy Otani appear not to be

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>on the same page. Fortunately, the Dodgers able to overcome

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>that and the Dodgers get a four to three win

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.560

<v Speaker 2>on an five seventy LA Sports.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 2>We appreciate you being with us on this Wednesday night,

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>as the Dodgers celebrate his sweep at Target Field in Minneapolis.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 2>They finish off the three games sweep with a four

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 2>to three victory and game in which Mookie Betts clubbed

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 2>his three hundredth career home run, joining a well elite

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.040
<v Speaker 2>group of thirty Major leaguers all time that have hit

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>at least three hundred home runs, four hundred doubles, and

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 2>a one hundred and fifty stolen basis. So congratulations to

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts. He gave the Dodgers the early one nine lead.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 2>The second inding is something we're gonna probably be talking

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot about tonight here on Dodger Talk. Eight sixty

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 2>sixth ninet eighty seven two five seventy two of the

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>first three batters showy Otani faces got on base with

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 2>basits the third straight bashit made the base loaded, and

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 2>then a pass ball scored Victor Krantini from third base.

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>On a ball in which Dalton rushing appeared to be

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 2>not on the same page with shoe Heotani, it skips

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>off his glove, goes over into the Dodgers dugout. It

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>brings him the tying run for the Minnesota Twins. Then

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Clyde Kreidler with a two run single made it

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>a three run inning for the Minnesota Twins as shoe

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Heyotani had to throw twenty two pitches finally got out

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>of it out with a strikeout.

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 4>But during that inning, not only was there.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>The pass ball, a couple of challenges early in this

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>game in which Dalton Rushing didn't want to be challenging

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the automated ball strike system the ABS. Sho Heo Tani

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>clearly wanted to struggle to challenge the call ball and

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 2>made the gesture to challenge it and was right even

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>though Dalton Rushing was shaking him off.

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 4>Don't challenge it. Don't challenge it.

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 2>The two of them just didn't seem like they were

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>on the same page together in that second inning, whether

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>it was challenging pitches or calling pitches. And we heard

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 2>from Dalton Rushing and shoey Otani in the Club Hour

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>show and both said, you know, they figured out the communication.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>They were able to move past it. Dalton Rushing was

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 2>pretty distraught after the game. We might bring that back

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>here in just a little bit. He was very distraught,

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 2>said it was embarrassing the way he's playing right now

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>behind the plate and at the plate. He was over

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>four tonite with three strikeouts. But I think he's a

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>little hard on himself for calling it embarrassing. Okay, you

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 2>know what, you get the challenges right, you get the

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 2>challenges wrong. You know, we were learning now in this

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>first real you know, go around of the abs, when

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>you're supposed to challenge, when you're not supposed to challenge.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Is it good to challenge early in the game, the

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.200
<v Speaker 4>first inning, the second inning.

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Is it better to save these challenges for the middle

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 2>of the second half of the game. Is it better

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>that the catcher just challenges it and the pitch sure

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 2>has nothing to do with it because they think everything

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>they throws a strike. We're figuring out what the percentages

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>are saying. And I think when this season's over, we're

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna have all the stats and we're gonna dive all

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, we baseball people and teams certainly with the analytics,

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>will dive into it and we're gonna get percentages and

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.760
<v Speaker 2>by next season we're gonna see all of the different

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 2>strategies really implemented across Major League Baseball. Is to win

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>not to challenge winning a game, to challenge when not

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 2>in the game, to challenge winning counts, to challenge whining

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>at bats scenarios. All that's gonna be dissecting, like everything

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>is in the world of baseball now with the analytics

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and the numbers. But for tonight it was interesting to

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>see with the you know, the abs and show Hey

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 2>clearly frustrated with a non strike call, and Dalton Rush

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and shaking has said don't challenge it, and show Hey

0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.320
<v Speaker 2>adamantly patting the top of his head that he wanted

0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>to challenge, and he was right. The two of them

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>not on the same page there. And if you're Dalton Rushing,

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 2>you could very nicely say hey in between innings, in

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 2>between a bats, like, hey, I don't think that was

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>right as far as you know, challenging it. I didn't

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 2>think it was a strike. I didn't think it was

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a ball, whatever the situation is. But visibly shaking your

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 2>head and telling your picture no to me, you don't

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 2>do that. And I don't care if it's show Hey

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Otani or if it's Kyle Hurt out on the mount,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 2>you're showing up your picture. I think at that point,

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>by by doing that, and you know you could say

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 2>something at another time, maybe you want to yell out

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 2>something underneath your mask out to your picture, but to

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>visibly shaking your head back and forth, like no, don't, don't,

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.679
<v Speaker 2>don't do it. I mean, unless you are one hundred

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>percent convinced and it is like the end of the

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 2>game and the final call and the game, you know

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>is writing on this one call, you don't need to

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>do that. And especially if it's show hey Otani out there,

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 2>who doesn't challenge pitches, for all of a sudden him

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 2>to want to start tapping his hat because he's not

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 2>happy at the calls. I got to figure that he

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>knows what he's doing, and it's not just him thinking, well,

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm a pitcher. Everything that throws a strike, I think

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>he's got a pretty good idea of the strike zone.

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And we've seen him turn his head. I mean, I

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 2>go back a couple of starts to Dodger Stadium. There

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>was a called pitch that was a ball and he

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a strike, and I remember they zoomed

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:30.919
<v Speaker 2>in on him on Sports in LA.

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 4>He kind of cocked his.

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Head to the side like huh, really, I was okay,

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't a strike. He could have challenged it, but

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>he didn't.

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 4>Tonight.

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I think you saw him obviously frustrated that he wasn't

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.160
<v Speaker 2>getting the called strikes and they were clearly strikes because

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>he was right about that and challenging him. But also

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>it is interesting that you could be on a different

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 2>page now with the whole you know, calling pitches and

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>it's verbalized the PitchCom How is it that we're out

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>on the same page. I mean, show Hay and Dalton

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 2>said that there was two pitches called. Dalton thought it

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>was an off speed pitch a curveball, and show Hey

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a fastball. Well, if there's any miscommunication,

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>you got to call time. But clearly one thought it

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>was one pitch, one thought it was the other. I'm

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>not sure how that happens when you're literally punching in

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>a code and it's gonna audibilize what the pitch is,

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>and not only did the catcher and the pitcher hear it,

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>but any other infielders that have the pitch com in

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>their hats are gonna hear it as well. I mean,

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 2>let's be honest, how many times are we seeing pitchers

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and catchers now we have PitchCom not on the same page.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 4>It's not happened very often.

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I can't think of another time that it's

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 2>happened that bad that we saw tonight in the second inning.

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>That all being said that second inning, the miscommunication, the

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 2>frustration from show Hey Otani.

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Clearly what happened.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.200
<v Speaker 2>In the third inning, the Dodgers and show Hey put

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 2>up a three spot o Tani let it off with

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 2>an RBI single the scoring They score three runs.

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 4>He comes back in the bottom of the.

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Third, strikeout, strikeout, strikeout, and as David Vassi tweeted out

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>on social media, shoey Otani was then calling his own

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.720
<v Speaker 2>pitches that PitchCom device on his left bicep.

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 4>He was in charge again. And we've seen.

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Show Hey being the one calling pitches when he's out

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 2>there pitching. Tonight, it looked like Dalton Rushing was the

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>one calling pitches until that second inning. The miscommunication, the frustration,

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and show Hey, you know, took the bull by the horn,

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, and took control of what he wanted

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>to pitch. And we heard from him in the postgame

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 2>show in the clubhouse and he talked about it. There's

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a game plan going in on how they're going to

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>go after hitters. Okay, that is mapped out. That's the

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 2>game plan that they go over with Mark Pryor and

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Conor McGuinness, the catchers and pitchers all get together. That

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>is the game plan how they're going to attack the hitters.

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 2>And show Hayes said they needed to and he was

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 2>adjusting to the hitters, and you know clearly he was

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>frustrated that Dalton Rushing wasn't adjusting with him. They were

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 2>on the same page. They weren't in sync as far

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 2>as what they wanted to do. You can talk about

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 2>it between Indians, but outside of show ay calling time

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 2>bringing Dalton out there and saying, Okay, we're gonna switch

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>it up, We're gonna do this, in the moment, they

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 2>just weren't on the same page. The miscommunication, the adjustments

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.079
<v Speaker 2>that show he wanted to make wasn't in sync again

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 2>with Dalton Rushing, and that's why you had a pass ball.

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>That's why you saw the frustration from shoe Hey Otani.

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 2>But he took control of the situation. And again let's

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>hear from Dalton Rushing briefly calling if we can postgame

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 2>very frustrated. He used the word embarrassing a couple of

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 2>different times, but listen to his tone. I don't think

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.679
<v Speaker 2>it's just him being upset with his production or lacked

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of at the plate and what happened in the second inning.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he truly is kind of embarrassed as a

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 2>young catcher to have this miscommunication with this pitcher.

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 5>Felton, I know, was you frustrating the second inning when

0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 5>you look at how.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 6>Just you as well, showing you were able to reset

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 6>and get back on time.

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 5>How would you just describe handling that for yourself personally?

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I thought he did a good job. I didn't

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 7>do a great job. Uh start to finish, Uh it

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 7>was it pretty embarrassing. Thankfully he's as good as he is,

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 7>and uh he could take control of the game. Uh yeah,

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 7>it's pretty embarrassing.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 5>You have so much support though, I mean, to have

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 5>the conversations whatever I saw Freddy come up to you,

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 5>Dave Roberts, I mean, I know that, as you said, say,

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 5>may have felt embarrassing, But to their support in that conversation,

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 5>what is that just mean?

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's great.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 7>I mean they always have my back.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 7>Once again, it's embarrassing that I need support like that.

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm a ground man, and uh yeah, it's a pretty

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 7>tough total swallow both sides of the ball. It was,

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 7>uh not a great showing and hasn't been great as

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 7>of late. And I'm gonna be all right.

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 2>There's Dalton Rushing and as he said, pretty embarrassing. Thankfully

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.079
<v Speaker 2>he took control of the game. He being show Hey Otani.

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>So I feel for Dalton Rushing. You know that that's

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>in a situation that doesn't make you look good. Certainly

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>when you've got the unicorn out in the mound, one

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 2>of the best players ever to play the game, and

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>he's showing his frustration, and a lot of that frustration

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>is with you, the Dodger catcher.

0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Certainly, when they got back on the same page moving

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 2>forward in the third inning and on, it was much better.

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.199
<v Speaker 2>But obviously the dynamic change with showy Otani now calling

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>the pitches and that kind of got took out of

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the hands of Dalton Rushing. So I can see where

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>he's frustrated and embarrassed about his performance tonight and the

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 2>way he's not been performing at the plate certainly kind

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 2>of piles on. But uh, I feel bad for him.

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like he's really piling on himself. It's bad

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>enough when when people want to get on him, but

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>tonight it's just not a great night for Dalton Rushing.

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 4>But you feel for him.

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 2>He turns the page day off tomorrow and enjoyed the

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 2>sun and San Diego and then get ready for a

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>big three game weekend against the Pacas. Let's face it,

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.439
<v Speaker 2>they need Dalton Rushing to be a rock behind the plate.

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, CHUCKI Robbins is the backup catcher right now,

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>but Dalton Rushing this is his time with Will Smith out,

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and David Vassi told us in the Clubhouse show, doesn't

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.480
<v Speaker 2>seem like there's a real timetable for Will Smith to return.

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 2>With that being said, Dalton Rushing's got a long runway

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.160
<v Speaker 2>here and he has for a few weeks to be

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the everyday catcher. He's certainly not happy with his offensive results,

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 2>but I kind of feel up until tonight, he's done

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a really good job with this rotation. I mean, you

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>can kind of nitpick, all right, some challenges here or there,

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 2>but I thought he's done a pretty good job with

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 2>the challenges on the abs. I feel like he's won

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot more than he's lost on these challenges, and

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>he's doing them at the right time. Certainly, he's an

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 2>emotional player, and I think the emotions get to him

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. And we certainly are not used to

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:07.760
<v Speaker 2>seeing the emotions on baseball players, right. They always say,

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 2>don't let your emotions be shown, you know, don't show them.

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Don't whatever you do, go in the clubhouts, go underneath

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 2>in the tunnel, and let your emotions out there, but

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>do not let anybody see your emotions out on the field.

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 2>But we're certainly seeing a lot of the emotions of

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>a Dulton rushing recently. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven,

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the number. All right, Ish and

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Riverside start things off here on Dodge Talk after a

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 2>four to three Dodgers win over the Twins.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.959
<v Speaker 4>How you doing Ish?

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 8>Pretty good man? That's some talk to he does. Sorry

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 8>have been super busy, but hey man, really really good game,

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 8>big picture obviously first place. We are also just swept

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 8>the Twins, so I mean, super super awesome. I know

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 8>you've been tracking on rushing. Dbie's been tracking on rushing

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.640
<v Speaker 8>through the farm report all the way back when so you.

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 8>You you wore the tools case, you know, so we

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 8>trust you guys, you know as far as like, you know,

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 8>backing up rushing.

0:13:58.360 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 8>For me, I kind of look at it, you know,

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 8>with the concussion and stuff like that happened just a

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 8>couple of games ago. To me, kind of familiar with

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 8>some of these things, Like, it looks like he's still

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 8>dealing with some of that stuff. The part of the

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 8>brain that basically got hit is really really responsible for

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 8>a lot of that strategic you know, the planning and

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 8>the executive functions they call it. So I think that

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 8>he's still kind of lingering for that. So I guess

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 8>my concern was, like, well, why did they put him

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 8>in to day? You know, we what twelve to two

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 8>yesterday against the Twins with Chucky in there. Why couldn't

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 8>Chucky gone back in there? But I would say for him,

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 8>don't beat yourself up again. It's to me, it looks

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 8>like he's still kind of dealing with some of that,

0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 8>you know, post concussion kind of symptoms. But you know,

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.640
<v Speaker 8>he's been great. You know, let's not forget that last

0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 8>year in the playoffs. You know, he and werd D

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 8>got us pretty much to the World Series, right because

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 8>Will Smith was out, and then even this last week,

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 8>you know, he goes in with y'all know, a big

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.120
<v Speaker 8>game planet and they take a perfect game what was

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 8>it into Thea's then turn into a no hitter. So

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 8>again I think he should just cut himself a little

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 8>bit snack, but also taking responsibility for some of those

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 8>actions on the field. But also I really think that

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 8>they should take another look man, to see if he's

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 8>kind of struggled with some of these postconcussion systems. Anyway,

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.560
<v Speaker 8>that's all I got, Man, Thanks for having me on.

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 8>Talk to you guys soon, all right.

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 4>I just appreciate it.

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:19.080
<v Speaker 2>You know what, concussions are nothing to overlook anymore, and

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 2>we know about the damages and concussions from football and

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>CTE and being a catcher you get absolutely banged up

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 2>back there. And we saw Will Smith deal with this

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 2>was it last year?

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Two years ago?

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Got hit a couple of times in the head with

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 2>foul balls off the mask and the helmet and went

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:43.520
<v Speaker 2>on the concussion lists and hey, as a catcher you

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 2>get absolutely throttled with foul balls and balls that hit

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you in different spots that you think are protected, but

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 2>they're not, and all of a sudden, a ball hitching

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the mask and you get your cage rattles, so to speak,

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and you think you're okay, but it lingers feel a

0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>little foggy. If he wasn't good to go, Let's be

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 2>completely honest. If Dalton Rushing was not good to get

0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 2>behind the plate, there's no way they're putting him back there.

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 2>He can't say all the right things because he's a

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 2>guy who wants to be out there playing and this

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 2>is his opportunity, and he's a big leaguer and all

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 2>these guys will tell the trainers and whatnot.

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 4>I want to be out there.

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 2>But listen, they have their player's best interest all the time.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 2>And to think that they're just gonna throw him back

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 2>out there if they feel like there's any lingering issues

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 2>from him taking a foul ball off the face mask,

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 2>you're crazy. There's no way they would let him back

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>out there. They would never let him go out there,

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 2>even if he said he was fine. But they saw something,

0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>or they saw some signals, or they saw something that

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't look right. But I have to believe that he's okay,

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's not what happened. The second editting than getting

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>crossed up.

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:53.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean shoe.

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Otani said he heard two different pitches. He thought it

0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 2>was one, Dalton Rushing thought it was the other. That

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 2>was the misqueue on the pass ball playing and simple.

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Now the challenges again, Dalton Rushing as a catcher is

0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>usually the one challenge in the pitches. How many pitchers

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 2>in baseball are we seen challenging the abs? Not a lot,

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>so only with the Dodgers. How many times have we

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 2>seen a Dodger pitcher tap the top of their head?

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:24.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean a few.

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 2>If that, I mean I can count of, maybe on

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 2>my hand, how many times the pitcher has challenged a

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 2>called strike or a ball called by the umpire. It's

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 2>mostly up to the catcher, and we're seeing the batters

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>do it obviously, but the catcher is the one doing it,

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 2>and so just for him to shake off show Hey

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Otani again, I don't think it's anything to do with

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.280
<v Speaker 2>the concussion like symptoms that he may had a couple

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 2>of days ago and they took him out for precautionary reasons. Again,

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I just don't believe that. I think it's just the

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 2>communication issue in the second inning, because moving forward, they

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 2>were great I mean you strike up.

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 4>The side and the third.

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 2>He retired seven straight batters at one point, uh he

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 2>had a one two three sixth inning. Albeit twenty pitches,

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 2>they were long pitch counts, but he struck out the

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 2>first two batters and then he got a ground ball,

0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.239
<v Speaker 2>great play by the way for Mookie Betts to end

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 2>one of the innings in the fourth and then the sixth,

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.720
<v Speaker 2>so the pitch count got up. That's why we didn't

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.919
<v Speaker 2>see him go back out through the seventh. But again,

0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 2>that second inning was a blip. It was a hiccup

0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.680
<v Speaker 2>between show Hay and Dalton Rushing, and once they got

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.439
<v Speaker 2>back on that same page, you saw what show Hay

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>was able to do on the mound eight six, sixth,

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>nine eighty seven to two, five seventy. My man Blake

0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and Colorado checks in on this Wednesday night.

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 4>What's going on, Blake?

0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:42.200
<v Speaker 1>How you doing.

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 9>Really really good?

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 8>How you doing?

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing fantastic. The Dodgers get the win tonight. Show

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Hey o'tani was like a superman out there doing it all,

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.639
<v Speaker 2>driving in runs to give the Dodgers part of that

0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 2>three run third inning, and then of course the sixth innings,

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.480
<v Speaker 2>pitch by show hey. I mean he looked he looked

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.840
<v Speaker 2>like angry, show hey, like a man on a mission.

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 2>After that second Inny, he he let that frustration show

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 2>as he went out there and just absolutely dominated Blake

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and put up Zero's the rest of the way.

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 4>That was pretty impressive.

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and I feel bad about that.

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Crazy it was, but it was good to see them

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>get back on the same page, Blake and they were

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 2>both communicating better the rest of the way. And I

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of the frustration from Dalton Rushing is

0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, he probably understands that was his mistake, and

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 2>he as a catcher doesn't want to be the one

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:40.879
<v Speaker 2>to be out there and everybody's looking at him in

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the picture and you know, him and his picture are

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 2>on the same page, and it's show a Otani of

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 2>all pictures out there that he's not communicating with great

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>and then what he's not doing at the plate producing

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's it's kind of it's a heavy weight

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 2>on him right now.

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 4>I believe.

0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why the game by Mooviie I think, I like,

0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I think this will get.

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 10>Him back on track. I can go if Tago cannot go.

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.560
<v Speaker 10>What do you do if if if the Dodgers. What

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 10>will you do with the Dodgers.

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:18.639
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, with with Kyle Tucker.

0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that's an interesting one if he's good to

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.399
<v Speaker 2>go in healthy, which I believe he will be in

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:25.679
<v Speaker 2>San Diego over the weekend.

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 4>Blake, I appreciate the phone call.

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm out with you for a few more days, but uh,

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 2>we'll check in with you on next week after the

0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Sacramento games.

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay, talk you again. All right, sounds good.

0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 2>That's my guy, Blake and Colorado checking in here on

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. Kyle Tucker not in the line up again today.

0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 2>David Vesse told us on the pregame show that we

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 2>did see Kyle Tucker grab a bat from the bat

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 2>rack and go back underneath. So sounds like he was

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 2>doing some hitting down off a tee or in the

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.439
<v Speaker 2>cage or something he was doing underneath in the Dodger area.

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.639
<v Speaker 2>So that is certainly a good sign. It's sounds like

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 2>he'll be ready to go when they go to San Diego.

0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's Friday night, maybe it's Saturday

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 2>when Walker buelers on the mound. We'll find out, but

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 2>I gotta believe he'll be back this weekend. Against the Padres.

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.760
<v Speaker 2>A couple of days off to rest, built in day

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.640
<v Speaker 2>off tomorrow for travel, and they just kind of lounge

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 2>around in San Diego, not think about baseball. Go hang

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 2>out in Coronado, Go do some East some fish, tacos

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>down in San Diego, enjoy that and then get ready

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 2>for this three game series against the San Diego Padres.

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Who were nine games back in the division. They won again.

0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 2>The Arizona Diamonbacks won, so the Dodgers remain nine games

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>up on San Diego and the NL West ten and

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:41.439
<v Speaker 2>a half games up on Arizona. The Padres getting a

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>little steam going, a little momentum. They've won three in

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 2>a row, six of their last ten. So the Dodgers

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and Padres will square off in which is always a

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 2>thrilling series when these two teams get together, and they'll

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 2>be doing it for three games this weekend at Petco Park.

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:56.639
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a quick break, we'll come back, get to

<v Speaker 2>season as the Dodger improved to a major league best

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 2>fifty two and twenty nine on the season. Ken in

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Newport Beach, Welcome Ken. How are you doing, my friend?

0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 8>All?

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:11.119
<v Speaker 9>I'm doing good today.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:13.080
<v Speaker 11>This was a good game. By the way, if anybody

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 11>knows catching it you I kind of think what happened

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 11>to Otani is he got angry on that one misplay

0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 11>where tension was lost because the last three innings he

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 11>was throwing harder, he was showing one hundred hundred and

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 11>one and I just a look on his face was

0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.880
<v Speaker 11>completely different. He was mulling down. So maybe that turned

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.360
<v Speaker 11>out to be a good thing. My real question, though.

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:40.560
<v Speaker 8>Is.

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 9>Pages he's knownything one eighty two in his last fifteen games.

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:53.439
<v Speaker 9>Before the game, the two guys picked him as their hero.

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 9>He's really really looking bad and he's got seventeen strikeouts

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 9>in those fifteen games. Do you still feel that he

0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:05.040
<v Speaker 9>deserves to be an All Star?

0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I can't think of anybody better right now.

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:12.640
<v Speaker 4>Overall, I know he has struggled.

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 2>As you mentioned in the last couple of weeks, did

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Homer in the final game on Sunday and the blowout

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 2>loss to the Baltimore Oriols.

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 4>I get it. The strikeouts are starting to mount up.

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:25.960
<v Speaker 2>He's just in one of those downturns, and I'm convinced

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Ken that he'll get back into that upturn. He was

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 2>never gonna hit for sixty five like he did blistering

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.040
<v Speaker 2>to start off the season, But I don't think he's

0:25:34.080 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 2>going to be like this the rest of the year.

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I think he'll get back up into a cruising altitude

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:39.880
<v Speaker 2>very nicely the rest of the way.

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.639
<v Speaker 9>He was hitting three seventy. Is the guy that's been

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 9>injured and he's back. Shouldn't he be playing batting second

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.879
<v Speaker 9>and maybe give out of a little rest and put

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:54.200
<v Speaker 9>him at the fifth or sixth spot because he's crushing

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:55.840
<v Speaker 9>the ball since he came back.

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.639
<v Speaker 2>He has, and he came in he didn't get it.

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Ran War got the starts, and I appreciate it. Can

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:04.439
<v Speaker 2>great the check in with you. Maybe Andy pie has

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.360
<v Speaker 2>drops out of the two spot, maybe Tommy Emmon goes

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 2>up into the two spot. But then you got back

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 2>to back to back lefties, you know, Tani. I mean

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Edmond can flip around. I guess as a right he

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 2>as a switch hitter. But the idea is to have left, right, left,

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:22.280
<v Speaker 2>right left in your lineup the first five batters that

0:26:22.320 --> 0:26:24.199
<v Speaker 2>can maybe be tweaked a little bit. I mean, we

0:26:24.240 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 2>saw Mookie Betts bat different spots in the lineup to

0:26:28.400 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 2>try to change things around, and all people wanted to

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 2>do here was say, Mookie Bets is old, Mookie Betts

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 2>looks past his prime. The short opposition is too much

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:39.520
<v Speaker 2>for Mookie. He can't he can't continue to be successful

0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 2>at the plate. Well, Mookie has found his rhythm.

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 4>He has found his.

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Cruising altitude here in the month of June and three

0:26:46.240 --> 0:26:48.800
<v Speaker 2>for four tonight, a triple away from a cycle, three

0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 2>hundredth home run in his career, and has found a

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>nice little spot batting.

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 4>What is he batting now? Fifth in the lineup?

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Fourth's betting cleanup now, But we saw him dip around

0:27:01.960 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup a little bit. There was a caller

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks ago that wanted Mookie Betts batting ninth

0:27:08.240 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 2>in this Dave Roberts lineup. So things are fluid, Things

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 2>are changed all the time. And I think right now

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you're just seeing Andy poe Has and one of those

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>little things that he's going through offensively. But I'm pretty

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.640
<v Speaker 2>confident Andy poe Has should still be an All Star.

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Andeddy and Pacoima right here in the eight eight How

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 2>you doing, Eddie? Welcome to Dodger Talk.

0:27:27.280 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 9>What's up, Timmy?

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:31.600
<v Speaker 12>I wanted to state a couple of facts, and you

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 12>stop me when you feel that it's necessary.

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Number one, I.

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 12>Wanted to piggyback on Blake Kyle Tucker. I just want

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 12>to tell Blake Kyle Tucker is gonna be fined if

0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:44.680
<v Speaker 12>Kyle Tucker gets hot in October.

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 8>I think all Dodger fans are going to forget what

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 8>happened during the season.

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Number two, How how.

0:27:52.640 --> 0:27:55.400
<v Speaker 8>Did the Dalton rushing twenty three twenty four?

0:27:55.440 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Maybe Dalton rushing Dalton Rushing is twenty.

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 12>Five twenty five. Okay, So I think that sho he

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:09.119
<v Speaker 12>Otani has forgot more baseball than Dalton Rushing knows to

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 12>this date. So if sho he wants to shake him off,

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:17.400
<v Speaker 12>wants to challenge the pitch, I think Dalton should.

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 9>You know, just go with it.

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.520
<v Speaker 12>I don't know what you think about that, but I mean,

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:27.399
<v Speaker 12>I think has earned the right to do that.

0:28:28.000 --> 0:28:29.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I understand what you're saying, Eddie.

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.479
<v Speaker 2>I think at a point where if show Hay is

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 2>showing that he wants to challenge a pitch, which is

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of outside the norm, right, We're now not only

0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 2>do we not see pitchers challenging balls and strikes, but

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:42.920
<v Speaker 2>when was the last time you saw show hey o

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Tani tapped the top of his helmet pitching in a game.

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I know we saw him challenge a pitch already tonight

0:28:48.480 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and he kind of I don't know. I think he

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 2>did a strategically just to get an extra breather when

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.600
<v Speaker 2>he was up there, because he was hitting and pitching tonight,

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:58.920
<v Speaker 2>but shotani the pitcher. How many times have we seen

0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:02.320
<v Speaker 2>him challenge a pitch. I'm struggling to remember until tonight

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 2>when he challenged the pitch. I mean, maybe it has happened,

0:29:04.800 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 2>but I just can't think of it. And for him

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:11.959
<v Speaker 2>to visibly just pound the top of his hat in frustration,

0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's because he wanted to pitch challenge and

0:29:15.920 --> 0:29:19.120
<v Speaker 2>was tired of seeing maybe some borderline pitches not be

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 2>challenged now. Dalton Rushing may have had the edict being

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 2>told to him, don't challenge pitches this early in the game.

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 2>It was the second inning, a couple of base hits,

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, you're on the ropes a little bit. Show

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>he needs some strikes, and Dalton Rushing maybe is also

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 2>thinking I got two challenges. I can't use him here

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 2>in the second inning on a pitch you know, I

0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's a strike, but show hey did, and

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 2>he wanted the challenge. The way I look at it

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 2>is how did this, how did this happen? How do

0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 2>you fix it? And how did these guys come out afterwards? Okay,

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>well there was miscommunication, there was some frustration, all right,

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 2>So what happens in the moment? Back on the same page,

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Show Hey calls pitches. All right, there's the solution. Now

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:10.719
<v Speaker 2>it's embarrassing for Dalton rushing, Okay, but they have Freddy Freeman,

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Mark Pryor, you have Dave roberts All consoling Dalton rushing,

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>calming him down, getting him dial back in and focus,

0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 2>realizing there are seven more innings to play in a

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 2>baseball game. It was the second inning, and then you

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.360
<v Speaker 2>get show Hey Otani. As one of our callers alluded to,

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 2>there was a little bit of an uptick in those

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 2>fastballs he hit one hundred and one four different times.

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 2>He had he had a little he had a little

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 2>gidea up as they say, little guinea up in that fastball.

0:30:40.320 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 4>After that. Now, is he pitching with aggression?

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 4>Is he pitching with conviction? Probably? Is he out there

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of frustration?

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, maybe all of it, maybe all of it, But

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 2>it's how he went about it. Moving forward in this game,

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:00.239
<v Speaker 2>tonight and they were both on the same page. He

0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 2>took control of calling the pitches, and the Dodger scored

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.160
<v Speaker 2>three form in the bottom or the top of the third,

0:31:05.400 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 2>and they come back and get the win. All right,

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:10.880
<v Speaker 2>we move on. You got to move on. This is

0:31:10.920 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 2>game eighty one, folks, in case you didn't know. Literally

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:17.720
<v Speaker 2>today was game eighty one of one hundred and sixty two.

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Sound the alarm hit the whistle. But we're at the

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:21.960
<v Speaker 4>halfway point.

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 2>If this were the World Cup, we'd be at the

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 2>half we'd be watching Rob Stone and Alexi Lallis and

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.720
<v Speaker 2>the crew break down the first half of the game.

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 2>We're at the halfway point of the season. It's a

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of baseball to be played. He thought, this has

0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 2>been a long season. Dodgers have half a season to go.

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Can't sit here and pout. Can't sit here and be

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.479
<v Speaker 2>worried about hurt feelings. You gotta get on the flight tonight,

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.880
<v Speaker 2>have it off day tomorrow, and this Dodger team, all

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 2>of them, Dalton Rushing included, gotta get back out there

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:56.160
<v Speaker 2>and get ready to play baseball on Friday night because

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of games right right in front of

0:31:58.800 --> 0:32:02.360
<v Speaker 2>their face. Moving forward, there's a lot of baseball still

0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to be played. Dodters Baseball brought to by Midello Madelo,

0:32:04.880 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 2>The Mark of Fire. Let's here for the manager, Dave Roberts.

0:32:08.040 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 2>After everything that happened in the second inning, the way

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 2>they bounce back, scored the three runs of the third, Hey,

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and they got the victory.

0:32:13.440 --> 0:32:14.920
<v Speaker 4>Four to three years the manager.

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 6>Dave, we were just talking with Dalton knits clear that

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 6>he's very frustrated with how tonight has gone. And even

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 6>I mean he kind of alluded to maybe the last

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 6>few games have gone for him. When you have a

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 6>young player, what is it like just helping him kind

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 6>of manage these emotions and get through this time and

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 6>get through a game like today.

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.120
<v Speaker 13>It's a work in progress. I mean, he's such a

0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:36.720
<v Speaker 13>you know, he wants to do really well and expects

0:32:36.720 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 13>a lot of himself, and so you know, when he's

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:43.760
<v Speaker 13>not doing what he expects that he gets frustrated. And

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 13>I think the good thing is that he still understands

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 13>his priority is to you know, serve the pitchers and

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:52.040
<v Speaker 13>be behind the plate. But yeah, you know, the last

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 13>few games he's he's had a tough goal event and

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 13>swinging through some fastballs, which is the strength of his

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:02.680
<v Speaker 13>and so yeah, I mean it's still tough to hit,

0:33:02.920 --> 0:33:04.600
<v Speaker 13>and he's still having a really nice year for us

0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 13>and helping us win a lot of ball games.

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 6>Did you see just kind of that second inning play out,

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.240
<v Speaker 6>and then he and show Hay, the two of them

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:12.240
<v Speaker 6>get back on track and kind of handle the rest

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:12.800
<v Speaker 6>of their adding.

0:33:13.080 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, they were just kind of out of sync early.

0:33:15.840 --> 0:33:18.600
<v Speaker 13>You could tell. I think both guys were frustrated and

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 13>trying to get on the same page. I thought Mark

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:25.600
<v Speaker 13>made a good visit and trying to settle some things down,

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 13>get him on the same page. And then after that

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 13>it went really well. So yeah, that third inning was

0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:35.560
<v Speaker 13>kind of a tough one, but fortunately the offense came

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 13>back and got us the lead and didn't relinquish it.

0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 13>But yeah, I think just trying to keep those guys

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 13>in sync, which at times has been a little bit

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 13>of a challenge.

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's a manager, Dave Roberts keeping those guys

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:51.920
<v Speaker 2>in sync, talking about show hand Dalton Rushing. They got

0:33:51.920 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 2>back in sync after that second inning, and that's what

0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it's all about. Leadership, leadership, leadership.

0:33:58.880 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 4>There's no way.

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:05.000
<v Speaker 2>This thing doesn't doesn't move, doesn't work the way it

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 2>has the last decade without the leadership of Dave Roberts

0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 2>his coaching staff. He mentioned Mark Pryor going out there

0:34:10.640 --> 0:34:12.720
<v Speaker 2>to the mound, get these guys on the same page,

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe calm some guys down a little bit on the

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:18.360
<v Speaker 2>mound as well. And then in between innings, Mark Pryor

0:34:18.360 --> 0:34:20.600
<v Speaker 2>to Dave Roberts, Freddie Freeman. Those are the three that

0:34:20.680 --> 0:34:23.319
<v Speaker 2>I saw sitting here at the Burbank studios. Obviously it

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.720
<v Speaker 2>could have been more, but watching the feed from Sports

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.440
<v Speaker 2>in La, those are the three people I saw sitting

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:31.160
<v Speaker 2>right next to Dalton rushing Dave Roberts, his left arm

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 2>around him, talking to him, explaining to him what was

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 2>happening in the process and explaining to him, I'm sure,

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:41.520
<v Speaker 2>telling him, hey, we need you. Whatever just happened, you

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:43.279
<v Speaker 2>got to put that in your rear view that you

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 2>got to move forward, You gotta forget about you gotta

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:46.400
<v Speaker 2>be a goldfish.

0:34:46.400 --> 0:34:48.919
<v Speaker 4>You gotta move on. That's the most important thing.

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 2>And I thought show, hey, O Tani did a great

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 2>job in doing that and taking control really in saying

0:34:54.560 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I call the pitches the rest of the way, And

0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:01.360
<v Speaker 2>what did he do in the third inning, strikeout, strikeout, strikeout,

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:04.040
<v Speaker 2>thirteen pitches. He retired to a seven in a row at

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 2>one point and put up zero's most importantly from the

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 2>third inning on. So a good job by the Dodgers.

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:12.319
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a blip on the radar. It's

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna get you know, it's gonna get blown up. You know,

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 2>our boy, John Boy is gonna probably read the lips

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:23.280
<v Speaker 2>of the parties involved, because when it went on the mound,

0:35:23.320 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>you can see show Hey talking saying something I think

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Mark pryor you can see Dalton rushing I think talked

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 2>into his glover or his mask was on.

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember off the top of my head, but I'm.

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Sure this is gonna be dissected word for word what

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>was said. But you know what, it happens. It happens

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:41.799
<v Speaker 2>in every game. Get a little frustration. See it in

0:35:41.840 --> 0:35:44.280
<v Speaker 2>basketball all the time with a guy not playing defense.

0:35:44.400 --> 0:35:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Hey gotta be better than that.

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's go and they get back out there and they're

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:50.200
<v Speaker 2>back the next time down the court. Happens in football,

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:52.279
<v Speaker 2>blown cover something like that. You have to move on.

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Guys make mistakes. Things happen. You're not on the same

0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 2>page blown coverage. Whatever things happen, it's how do you regroup?

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:02.440
<v Speaker 2>How do you not let that happen again? And the

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers did that tonight moving forward after that second evening.

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.239
<v Speaker 4>All right, is he real quick? Wrap things up here

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:07.799
