Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begune.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become
Speaker 2: the fifth.
Speaker 1: This is World Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Here we go again. We're get right running.
Speaker 1: Back to get in on the show called eight six
Speaker 1: six nine eighty seven two five seventy, and be sure
Speaker 1: to follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts and
Speaker 1: now your host. Here's Tim Kakes.
Speaker 4: Dodgers leaving Denver are on a happy fly it out
Speaker 4: thanks to a twelve to three win over the Colorado Rockies. Hi, everybody,
Speaker 4: Tim Kake's with you here along with Colin e on
Speaker 4: this Monday night.
Speaker 5: With you until the top of the hour.
Speaker 4: Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is
Speaker 4: the number.
Speaker 5: Jump on board.
Speaker 4: You know the number, Dodger fans eight sixty six nine
Speaker 4: eighty seven two five seventy. Wherever you may be listening
Speaker 4: to us here in Los Angeles, Southern California, of course,
Speaker 4: on the iHeartRadio app across this great globe of ours,
Speaker 4: give us a call. Eight sixty six ninety eighty seven
Speaker 4: two five seventy is.
Speaker 5: The Dodgers won the series opener.
Speaker 4: On Friday night in the cold, freezing temperatures of the
Speaker 4: mile highest city. They lost Saturday, they lost Sunday, and
Speaker 4: tonight they got a much needed win to get these
Speaker 4: series split with the Colorado Rockies, a game of which
Speaker 4: a couple of things stood out, certainly the news before
Speaker 4: the game, which we're gonna get to in Edwin Diaz
Speaker 4: is a bummer for the Dodgers, but some positives between
Speaker 4: the Lions. Justin Robleski, goodness, gracious Justin Robleski tonight, improving
Speaker 4: to three and zero them this season. Seven innings, he
Speaker 4: allowed one run on eight hits. And if you're like
Speaker 4: me and Coliny sitting here in the studio, a leadoff, double,
Speaker 4: second battery faces Brenton Doyle, double nobody out, two batters faced,
Speaker 4: and it's a one nothing Rockies leading. You're thinking, no, no,
Speaker 4: this can't happen to Justin Robleski's been too good for
Speaker 4: the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Well, what does he do?
Speaker 4: Settles in, gets an out, gets a feeler's choice, gets
Speaker 4: a ground ball out in all only thirteen pitches, a
Speaker 4: run up on the board, and that was it. He
Speaker 4: settled in and what I thought was so perfect for
Speaker 4: Justin Robleski was his command. And his command led to
Speaker 4: zero walks and seventy two of his ninety seven pitches
Speaker 4: being strikes tonight.
Speaker 5: When you're in the zone, getting.
Speaker 4: Contact, getting out and not walking dudes and putting them
Speaker 4: on base, generally good things happen in the game of baseball.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 4: But for the most part, you throw strikes, you let
Speaker 4: the batters put the ball in play, the defense will
Speaker 4: make plays for you, and good things will happen. That's
Speaker 4: what happened for Justin Robleski tonight. And then his offense
Speaker 4: went to work the long ball tonight from Max Monty,
Speaker 4: Miguel Rojas, Dalton Rushing five buying home runs to a
Speaker 4: piece from Max Munsey and Dalton Rushing, and the Dodgers
Speaker 4: scored twelve runs on fifteen hits. When I told you
Speaker 4: the Dodgers would squell score twelve runs on fifteen hits
Speaker 4: without a doubt, you're thinking, Okay, cool, Otani, Betts, Freeman, Munsey,
Speaker 4: Will Smith, Kyle Tucker, all these dudes in the lineup
Speaker 4: right against the best line up in baseball.
Speaker 5: Not tonight.
Speaker 4: Betts is heard on the injured list going to Laker games,
Speaker 4: Freddie Freeman paternity list, Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 5: Scheduled night off.
Speaker 4: So you saw Santiago Espinall in the lineup, Miguel Rojas
Speaker 4: in the lineup, and Alice Called batting second and playing
Speaker 4: right field. Okay, not your traditional Dodgers lineup. Alice call
Speaker 4: on base twice, scored a run, Espinall two for four tonight,
Speaker 4: Dalton rushing a pair of home runs, drives in three.
Speaker 4: I mean, the Dodgers tonight got exactly what they needed.
Speaker 4: Plenty of offense and a really good outing from Justin
Speaker 4: Robleski and a twelve to three win over the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 4: And a couple of milestones that will touch on quickly.
Speaker 4: Show Heyotani on bay streak reaches fifty two straight games.
Speaker 4: It is ridiculous what this guy is doing from the
Speaker 4: end of August last year to the beginning of this season. Now,
Speaker 4: on April twentieth, we're almost a month into this season
Speaker 4: and shoe Heyotani has an on base streak of fifty
Speaker 4: two straight games, longest active streak in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4: And if he can reach base tomorrow night in San
Speaker 4: Francisco against the Stinking Giants. He will tie Sean Green
Speaker 4: for the second longest streak in Dodgers' franchise history.
Speaker 5: Pretty cool stuff we're watching.
Speaker 4: Just when you think sho Heyotani has done it all
Speaker 4: and you've seen it all from the Unicorn, then he
Speaker 4: does something like this. He's still chasing Asy Young and
Speaker 4: you watch out. That could happen this year. Miguel Rojas
Speaker 4: the home run, then in the fourth inning a single.
Speaker 4: Congratulations Mickey rowe hit number one thousand of his career,
Speaker 4: and he does own a cool way the same ballpark
Speaker 4: he got his first ever big league hit back on
Speaker 4: June eighth, twenty fourteen, his second game in the big
Speaker 4: leagues with the Dodgers. He gets a base hit then,
Speaker 4: and tonight he gets a base hit at coors Field,
Speaker 4: number one thousand.
Speaker 5: Of his career.
Speaker 4: What just a real full circle moment, if you will,
Speaker 4: for Miguel Rojas getting his one thousands career hit and
Speaker 4: the Dodgers again tonight. Five home runs, two from Max Muntzi,
Speaker 4: two from Dalton rushing pound the Rockies. What a night
Speaker 4: for the good guys. The Dodgers had twelve runs on
Speaker 4: fifteen hits and a lineup.
Speaker 5: That had no no Bets, no Freeman, no Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: They're now sixteen and six on this season, and oh yeah.
Speaker 4: The way they scored their runs tonight, real quick. Five
Speaker 4: home runs, so they used the long ball. He had
Speaker 4: an RBI single mixed in there from Taoscar Hernandez in
Speaker 4: the eighth inning. The rest of the Dodgers runs came
Speaker 4: via a back, a bases loaded walk, an air on
Speaker 4: Kyle Carros, a sack bunt from Miguel Rojas that scored
Speaker 4: a run, and a double play that was hit into
Speaker 4: by ta Oscar Hernandez with the bases loaded that scored
Speaker 4: a run.
Speaker 5: Colinye and I were sitting here thinking about it. You
Speaker 5: don't see this.
Speaker 4: Very often outside of a triple of a double. Was
Speaker 4: there another way they could have scored? I don't think so.
Speaker 4: I mean, catcher's interference would have been an air on
Speaker 4: the catcher. You had to run, score via an air
Speaker 4: hit by pitch, maybe y at Kanya, a basis loaded
Speaker 4: hit by pitch. I guess there is three ways they
Speaker 4: could have scored other than the ways they scored tonight.
Speaker 5: You don't see that very often.
Speaker 4: Run scored on a bock basis loaded walk, an air sackpunt,
Speaker 4: and a double play that scores a round the base
Speaker 4: is loaded, I mean sackfly. Okay, four all right, Still
Speaker 4: pretty impressive to see all the ways the Dodgers scored tonight.
Speaker 4: They're twelve runs on fifteen hits on their way to
Speaker 4: a win over the Colorado Rockies. Eight sixty six nine

Speaker 5: That is so cool.
Speaker 4: Eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy is our number.
Speaker 4: Miguel Rojas got hit number one thousand tonight. Also win
Speaker 4: deep Mickey Row what a career he has had. A
Speaker 4: World Series Hero a year ago, continues to produce even
Speaker 4: at the end of his career here and most likely
Speaker 4: going to be his last year in major league baseball,
Speaker 4: But no doubt in my mind he'll be coaching, if
Speaker 4: not managing, very very very soon at the major league
Speaker 4: level when it's all said and done. But he's got
Speaker 4: a plenty of left in the Take three for three tonight,
Speaker 4: including the home run career number one thousand to go
Speaker 4: back out to Course Field in Denver.
Speaker 5: S anybody with David Vassa in the media.
Speaker 2: You know, the season's kind of been a theme of
Speaker 2: full circle for you, for you to get your one
Speaker 2: thousandth hit here where you got your first hit, Do
Speaker 2: you feel like that was meant to be?
Speaker 10: Yeah, especially when I saw the schedule and I saw
Speaker 10: that I was two hits away coming in this series,
Speaker 10: and I knew we were.
Speaker 3: Going to face a lefty in this series.
Speaker 10: Definitely, I felt like I had an opportunity to do
Speaker 10: something special again at this on this place. Courtfield for me,
Speaker 10: is always gonna hold a special place. This was the
Speaker 10: first clubhouse that I were walking as a major leaguer
Speaker 10: and I got the opportunity to make my debut here
Speaker 10: with cash on the mound.
Speaker 3: I will never forget that moment.
Speaker 10: When I got my first hit on a raining day
Speaker 10: in courts Field, and now I got the chance to
Speaker 10: say that connect for I hit one thousand here is
Speaker 10: pretty emotional for me because I know the most important
Speaker 10: part is the team and and continue to get w's
Speaker 10: and winning championships. But this one for me is, uh
Speaker 10: is something that I really really going to share it
Speaker 10: for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2: When you got to cruise s base, what were the emotions,
Speaker 2: what were the thoughts Were you thinking about your dad?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: I was thinking about all the people that make sacrifices
Speaker 10: for me to be in this place.
Speaker 3: Uh. My family.
Speaker 10: Uh, they they've been with me through the open downs
Speaker 10: and says I was a little kid. They give up
Speaker 10: their life to leave mine and my life was was
Speaker 10: all about.
Speaker 3: To be a baseball player.
Speaker 10: And they, uh when I talk about them, my grand
Speaker 10: my grandparents, they did everything possible for me to.
Speaker 3: Be in this position.
Speaker 10: And then obviously I found a really special wife through
Speaker 10: baseball as well. I got my kids at home watching
Speaker 10: every single game and and feeling proud of their dad.
Speaker 10: And something that I really want to cherish with my
Speaker 10: family is.
Speaker 1: Just the meaningfulness of a thousand hits.
Speaker 5: For you when you look back at your career, to.
Speaker 10: Be honest, it's because of the way that my career start.
Speaker 3: Not many people could have.
Speaker 10: I think that I was going to have an opportunity
Speaker 10: to play this long in the game, and I received
Speaker 10: an opportunity.
Speaker 3: By the Dodgers thirty years ago.
Speaker 10: And everything is possible because of an opportunity. You know,
Speaker 10: I never led anybody to put a ceiling on top
Speaker 10: of my head. I kept like keep going through those
Speaker 10: ceilings that they put above me, and it was all
Speaker 10: about keep like taking that label away from my from
Speaker 10: my head that it was a defensive replacement guy. Defensive
Speaker 10: first guy was he can't hit, you know, he just
Speaker 10: going to play short term.
Speaker 3: He's here because of his defense.
Speaker 10: That's why a thousand hits for me means a lot,
Speaker 10: because I came here as a defensive replacement guy just
Speaker 10: to fill out as part and I didn't I going
Speaker 10: to have the opportunity to play a lot, And especially
Speaker 10: after five years playing a role a role play in
Speaker 10: this team and with the Marlins, I finally got the
Speaker 10: open two to play every day in twenty nineteen, and
Speaker 10: it means allah for me to get to one thousand six.
Speaker 4: Yeah, big accomplishment for Miguel Rojas three for three tonight,
Speaker 4: the single in the fourth inning after the home run,
Speaker 4: the second hit number one thousand of his career. Doctors

Speaker 7: we were blessed to have the Dodgers there were see
Speaker 7: I'm amazed at at what you had done. Yeah, and
Speaker 7: say it's just phenomenal. But I got something got another
Speaker 7: question for you though, and maybe I would do this
Speaker 7: off air. I'm glad to hear from Blake tonight on
Speaker 7: a rat he called insight. Yeah right, Well, I want
Speaker 7: to talk to somebody about he last night and and uh,
Speaker 7: I want to call it that because I'm really grateful
Speaker 7: for the way you handle a call and talk to
Speaker 7: him and look forward to hearing you talk to him.
Speaker 7: Thank you for for what you do.
Speaker 5: Oh, no problem, thank you, Arthur.
Speaker 7: Anything else, Uh No, I'm just grateful, grateful, grateful your
Speaker 7: coverage and uh.
Speaker 4: Absolutely appreciate it. Thank you for the nice words, Arthur. Yeah,
Speaker 4: this team is special. This team is fun to watch.
Speaker 4: I mentioned it earlier when you got to line up
Speaker 4: that Dave Roberts put out there with certainly no Mookie
Speaker 4: Bets injured, no Freddie Freeman out on paternity leave, and
Speaker 4: no Kyle Tucker in there because of a scheduled off night,
Speaker 4: and the Dodger school still scored twelve runs on fifteen hits,
Speaker 4: and Jose Motives said it very well in the Clubout show,
Speaker 4: and he joins us after the game. He said a
Speaker 4: lot of managers could have second guests themselves and said,
Speaker 4: you know what, I know this was planned day off
Speaker 4: for Kyle Tucker, and you know, a day of action
Speaker 4: for Kyle Tucker. Excuse me, Alex Call and uh, Espinoza, Espinhall,
Speaker 4: you could have just scrap that where you're gonna go
Speaker 4: back to our traditional lineup.
Speaker 5: No day off for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 4: We're gonna know, no, Freddie Freeman, certainly in Mookie Bets,
Speaker 4: We're gonna try to get to as normal as possible
Speaker 4: in a lineup in a must win game to split
Speaker 4: this four game series against the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 5: He didn't. He said, I believe in those guys like
Speaker 5: Alex Call.
Speaker 4: Uh, We're gonna send them out there, and man, they
Speaker 4: scored twelve runs on fifteen hits and top to bottom
Speaker 4: guys produced for the Dodgers. Tonight bill mission viah Welcome
Speaker 4: to Dodger Talk on a five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 5: Hi doing Bill pretty good.
Speaker 8: I wonder when the Dodgers are going to go back
Speaker 8: to a five man rotation. Is they're going to do that?
Speaker 4: We don't expect the Dodgers to go to a five
Speaker 4: man rotation until at least May. The way the schedule
Speaker 4: lays out in front of him right now, there's no
Speaker 4: need to do that. And quite frankly, once they get
Speaker 4: a guy like Blake snellback, you know you gotta start
Speaker 4: thinking about what you're gonna do with a rookie Sasaki
Speaker 4: and Justin Robleski. Which guy is gonna be the odd
Speaker 4: man out in this rotation moving forward? If you look
Speaker 4: at what production has been so far here in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty six, well we can both agree, Bill, it's most
Speaker 4: likely Justin Robleski deserves more of a chance than the
Speaker 4: rotation for what he's done compared to what rookie Sasaki
Speaker 4: hasn't done.
Speaker 8: Right right, So, and that I go to five later,
Speaker 8: as you said, because there's more chances for cy Young,
Speaker 8: you know, more chances for Otani and Yamamode to win
Speaker 8: games if they're not waiting, you know, for a whole
Speaker 8: week to pitch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna change things up as far
Speaker 4: as Otani pitching once a week. I don't think there's
Speaker 4: a number they're trying to get to and say, oh,
Speaker 4: we got to get to this number for him to
Speaker 4: get to a Cy Young winning is first and foremost
Speaker 4: early and what he's able to do once a week
Speaker 4: on the mound if he gets to twenty starts twenty five,
Speaker 4: I don't know what the number is. I haven't projected
Speaker 4: it out pin pitching once a week and what that
Speaker 4: looks like for this Dodgers team and what individually looks
Speaker 4: like for him. Keep in mind, he's got to then
Speaker 4: go out and continue to be really dominant. You know,
Speaker 4: who's to say he goes out there and doesn't have
Speaker 4: the kind of starts he's looking for. Pitching once a week, well,
Speaker 4: you know, the cy Young's nice and you want to
Speaker 4: chase that, But that is an award you get for
Speaker 4: how hard you pitch, and you know, is also a
Speaker 4: recognition of getting run support and going out there and
Speaker 4: winning games. It's not just a one man show. Even
Speaker 4: though it's a one man award. Certainly most pitchers will
Speaker 4: acknowledge the fact that getting run support, going out there
Speaker 4: and pitching well, I mean, Yamamoto had got zero run
Speaker 4: support two years ago, you know, and and still didn't
Speaker 4: have a record to show for it, but was the
Speaker 4: victim of an outing every time out there. The Dodgers
Speaker 4: wouldn't score more one or two runs and he's pitching
Speaker 4: his tail off in a game. So we'll see how
Speaker 4: it all shakes out. There's so much season to be played,
Speaker 4: so many games to be started for all these guys.
Speaker 4: I think the bigger question not even worrying about what
Speaker 4: happens with Otani and a Cy Young, because that's just
Speaker 4: again a byproduct of what happens throughout the course of
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 5: There's so much season ahead of us.
Speaker 4: What do the Dodgers do moving forward when Blake Stell
Speaker 4: gets healthy next month? You know it's it's it's that's
Speaker 4: more current than anything. What do they do with Robleski
Speaker 4: and rog rookie Sasaki if the trend stays the way
Speaker 4: it is for the next couple of spins around the rotation.
Speaker 4: How do you take Justpin Robleski out of the rotation altogether?
Speaker 4: How do you tell Justin Robleski, thanks dude, you were
Speaker 4: great by We're gonna go with Sasaki still as our
Speaker 4: fifth starter. I I just don't see how that's possible. So,
Speaker 4: I mean, these are first world problems. These are problems
Speaker 4: teams across baseball would absolutely love to have, and the
Speaker 4: Dodgers just so happen to have. That problem eight six,
Speaker 4: six nine, eight, seven, two five seven. Let's hear from
Speaker 4: the manager, Dave Roberts post game with the media. Is
Speaker 4: certainly happy about the win, but also again keep it
Speaker 4: in mind, Edwin Diaz, Dodger closer going to be out
Speaker 4: next three months having elbow surgery to remove a build
Speaker 4: up in his elbow, so he is not available for
Speaker 4: the next three months. Let's go back out to coors
Speaker 4: Field and hear from Dave Roberts.
Speaker 11: He's, you know, going eight innings and seven innings. He's
Speaker 11: just going after hitters, attacking, and he keeps the pace
Speaker 11: of play up, he puts the ball in play, and
Speaker 11: you know, these last two outings have been huge for
Speaker 11: the Bullpen allows us to reset and you know, getting
Speaker 11: out of Corsefield four games and then to have a
Speaker 11: night like tonight was big.
Speaker 3: But he's come a long way.
Speaker 12: When you look at Next and Human Guilt Rojas, it
Speaker 12: felt like those two, I mean essentially single handedly got
Speaker 12: Jose Khintana out of this game. What did you like
Speaker 12: just from their performance offensively and how those two can
Speaker 12: really feed off each other.
Speaker 11: Well, I think with Miki it was just great, you know,
Speaker 11: being ready when called upon and obviously with Kintana starting
Speaker 11: being left hand, is good to get him in there
Speaker 11: and take the abacity did moved him in the middle
Speaker 11: of the order, which I liked him right there tonight.
Speaker 11: And you know, Max just has always liked playing at
Speaker 11: Courtsfield and the numbers speak to it. And had another
Speaker 11: big night. And you know, with Freddy being gone and
Speaker 11: kind of just looking at the lineup, I needed him
Speaker 11: to be in there tonight, and he was more than
Speaker 11: happy to be in there and play for in course,
Speaker 11: and he hasn't done that a lot in a four
Speaker 11: game series. We try to give guys a day off,
Speaker 11: but he was ready for it and fortunately for us.
Speaker 3: That he had a big night. Awesome.
Speaker 2: We are you going to get the one thousandth hit
Speaker 2: or are you to pretend to throw the ball over
Speaker 2: the fence when you got it?
Speaker 11: I think more of the thousand hit he's been waged
Speaker 11: for this one. This is a big milestone, and he's
Speaker 11: big on milestones and moments and you know, and and
Speaker 11: he's done a lot of good things in this game,
Speaker 11: and so for him to get it was a huge
Speaker 11: thing for him. And yeah, I want to have a
Speaker 11: little fun with him, and I don't think I had
Speaker 11: enough arm to throw it over the screen anyway, But
Speaker 11: I thought i'd have a little fun.
Speaker 4: With him or give the toast after the game for that.
Speaker 11: You know what, I think. Yeah, that's a good question,
Speaker 11: because he's kind of the glue and does all the toasts.
Speaker 11: But usually we have the toast for winning a series,
Speaker 11: which we didn't do this series. But hopefully someone in
Speaker 11: there acknowledges.
Speaker 2: That the field split here feel disappointing or you just
Speaker 2: survive before game you're.
Speaker 11: Set here, you know what, I think that, you know,
Speaker 11: you'd never like to I don't like to lose any games,
Speaker 11: but I do think that, you know, if you look
Speaker 11: at in total, I think we just had a couple
Speaker 11: of bad innings that that cost us a couple of games.
Speaker 11: But yeah, you know, taking two from here, and then
Speaker 11: we'll play another division rival in the Giants for the
Speaker 11: next three games. And you know, Yoshi's already there in
Speaker 11: San Francisco hopefully resting and feel good about.
Speaker 3: This next series.
Speaker 5: All right, there's a manager. Dave Roberts certainly happy with
Speaker 5: the win.
Speaker 4: Again, had a little fun there with Miguel Rohas pretending
Speaker 4: to throw the ball over the batter screen there after
Speaker 4: the single which was hit number one thousand for Miguel
Speaker 4: Rohas but just messing around, just having fun with Miggi
Speaker 4: Roe and Miggi Roe keeping that baseball for a career
Speaker 4: milestone hit number one thousand again. The big news before
Speaker 4: the game ed when Diaz, having surgery on Wednesday to
Speaker 4: remove loose bodies from his right throwing elbow, is expected
Speaker 4: to return. But the second half of the season post
Speaker 4: All Star break, Let's wrap things up with is he?
Speaker 6: Is he?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 5: Evening? Welcome? You gotta be happy with the win tonight
Speaker 5: at least?
Speaker 1: Is he?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Big?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 9: I know it's wrong season, so I'm Salvy this year.
Speaker 9: I surely swept in. You know I'm Salvey last fasting.
Speaker 9: But a win is a win. I might with just
Speaker 9: take it. I'm moving about the Dodgers in the way,
Speaker 9: so it doesn't matter. So edwin. Those were the good Gaantine.
Speaker 9: I will this. He good by got rookie in the bullpen.
Speaker 9: I know he can't go back, can't go the trip
Speaker 9: way with the way I started in the trip way,
Speaker 9: But don't give me sorry on that.
Speaker 4: I won't get just started, as I think that might
Speaker 4: be a good idea. Maybe you send rookie back to
Speaker 4: Triple O Oklahoma City. Let him work through his mechanics,
Speaker 4: work through any issues he's going through right now, let
Speaker 4: him get fine tuned and come back and have that confidence.
Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest thing for me that I'm seeing.
Speaker 5: You know, and who am I?
Speaker 4: But I look at him and I just I don't
Speaker 4: see that confidence that he had in October.
Speaker 5: He came back and looked like a different picture.
Speaker 4: And success certainly breeds confidence in anything you do in life.
Speaker 4: And to come back and have that dominance that he
Speaker 4: did and to see it the final week of the
Speaker 4: regular season and that common is build in October and
Speaker 4: being a lights out reliever like they had. I mean,
Speaker 4: he was basically game over again like Eric Gannie old
Speaker 4: school style. When he came in and pitched games in
Speaker 4: the postseason. He was that dominant. And we're talking about
Speaker 4: when they bring last October.
Speaker 5: We're taking calls on scam and Don Dodger talk, you know.
Speaker 4: Just could Susaki pitch the sixth? Do you bring Sasaki
Speaker 4: in for the seventh? High leverage situation? Is he only
Speaker 4: a ninth inn guy? Now we're talking about whether Rokie
Speaker 4: Sasaki can stay in the rotation and how has he
Speaker 4: lost it? And how many how many guys is he
Speaker 4: walking in his lack of command out there, So I
Speaker 4: think he just needs to get recalibrated, if you will,
Speaker 4: That's what I would tell him.
Speaker 5: You know, we stilf got confidence e Roki.
Speaker 4: You know you're gonna be part of this team some capacity,
Speaker 4: but you need to go back to Oklahoma City and
Speaker 4: just get recalibrated on the mound, simple as that. And
Speaker 4: again that also helps when you get a guy like
Speaker 4: Blake Snell back and you get a little bit more
Speaker 4: depth to this rotation, and who knows, maybe it stays
Speaker 4: a six man rotation moving forward for the course of
Speaker 4: the year. All Right, that's gonna do for Dodge Talk tonight.
Speaker 4: Many thanks to Colin Ye thanks to all you Dodger fans.
Speaker 4: We've been a part of the show, whether I'm the talkback,
Speaker 4: whether on the.
Speaker 5: Phones or just podcasting the show. We appreciate it.
Speaker 4: We'll be back at it tomorrow from San Francisco, weather permitting,
Speaker 4: as the Dodgers will take on the San Francisco.
Speaker 5: Giants in the start of a three game series. Yoshinobu
Speaker 5: Yama Moto will be on the mount for the Dodgers.
Speaker 4: He heard Dave Roberts say it. Yoshi's already there, popping
Speaker 4: to do anything. Enjoying us some fine dining tonight and
Speaker 4: get a good night's rest. Yamamoto will go tomorrow, then
Speaker 4: show hey Otani, we'll go on Wednesday, followed by Tyler Glass.
Speaker 5: Now in the finale on Thursday. Morongo, because you know,
