Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begun.
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. Here we go again.
Speaker 3: We get right running back to.
Speaker 4: Get in on the show called eight six six eight
Speaker 4: seven two five seven, and be sure to follow Dodger
Speaker 4: Talk wherever you catch your podcasts and now your host.
Speaker 1: Here's Tim Kakes.
Speaker 5: Dodgers leaving San Diego feeling pretty good about themselves, taking
Speaker 5: two to three from the Padres. They lost one to
Speaker 5: nothing in the series opener on Monday and a pitcher's
Speaker 5: duel that Michael King got the best of the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Dodgers had their opportunities in that game, could not get
Speaker 5: the big hit with runners in scoring position. Came back
Speaker 5: last night, came through with a five to four win
Speaker 5: thanks to a sack fly in the ninth inning from
Speaker 5: Andy Piez. Tonight's they get a run in the first
Speaker 5: inning on the very first pitch of the game, Show
Speaker 5: hey Otani a lead off home run. Then show hey
Speaker 5: o Tani the pitcher with five shutout Indians as the
Speaker 5: Dodgers take two.
Speaker 3: Of three in San Diego.
Speaker 5: Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 5: our number we're often running here on Dodger Talk on
Speaker 5: this Wednesday night. I want you to be a part
Speaker 5: of the show at eight six six nine eighty seven
Speaker 5: two five seventy. As the Dodgers now on this road
Speaker 5: trip are five and one. Remember they swept the Angels
Speaker 5: over the weekend, and the Angels swell, they continue to
Speaker 5: struggle while the Dodgers now have won seven of eight
Speaker 5: and now I've a one and a half game lead
Speaker 5: in the NL West before heading to Milwaukee this weekend
Speaker 5: to take on the first place Brewers who are atop
Speaker 5: the NL Central.
Speaker 3: But we heard it earlier.
Speaker 5: Steven and Rick mentioned it late in the game and
Speaker 5: then afterwards when they're talking about the win. If this
Speaker 5: was reversed and the Padres had taken two of three
Speaker 5: from the Dodgers, or the Padres had swept this series,
Speaker 5: all we'd hear about is this was a statement series,
Speaker 5: and this was a state for the Padres and being
Speaker 5: here for the long run with the Dodgers this season
Speaker 5: and not going anywhere, and this is going to be
Speaker 5: a race to the end.
Speaker 3: Between these two teams.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, very easily this could have been
Speaker 5: a Dodger three games sweep if not for Michael King's
Speaker 5: performance on Monday Night and the Dodgers bats being asleep
Speaker 5: for the first six innings, and then the Dodgers had
Speaker 5: golden opportunities in four straight innings and couldn't get a
Speaker 5: base it with the runner and scoring position or else.
Speaker 5: We're talking about a sweep in San Diego, and we're
Speaker 5: talking about the Dodgers having a two and a half
Speaker 5: game lead in the division, albeit it's a one and
Speaker 5: a half game lead in the NL West, but quite frankly,
Speaker 5: I think they leave San Diego with a lot of confidence.
Speaker 5: And now the Dodgers and Padres will square off at
Speaker 5: the end of June for a three game series in
Speaker 5: San Diego again. The Dodgers then will see them three
Speaker 5: games later for a four game series over the fourth
Speaker 5: of July weekend at Dodgers Stadium. So they'll see them
Speaker 5: seven times in the course of ten days coming up
Speaker 5: at the end of June. In the first couple of
Speaker 5: days of July, now that'll be a big stretch, and
Speaker 5: they were gonna see a lot of separation certainly if
Speaker 5: one team dominates the other in the standings. But for
Speaker 5: this Dodger team to leave having taken two of three,
Speaker 5: I'll tell you why this is big.
Speaker 3: For the Dodgers.
Speaker 5: First and foremost, they just keep the pressure on their
Speaker 5: little brothers in San Diego, the Padres. By taking two
Speaker 5: of three and now leaving with a one and a
Speaker 5: half game lead, That right there speaks for itself.
Speaker 3: Number two. The Dodgers last night really really looks.
Speaker 5: Good and coming back and getting the win in a
Speaker 5: five to four fashion over the Padres. And they did
Speaker 5: so by getting to Mason Miller. And quite frankly, they
Speaker 5: got to Mason Miller the night before. He had back
Speaker 5: to back walks in the ninth thing. The Dodgers could
Speaker 5: have gotten to the best pitcher in baseball then, but
Speaker 5: he escaped. But last night getting to Mason Miller and
Speaker 5: showing that he's human and they're not afraid of him.
Speaker 5: Andy Pott has his ninth pitch at bat, getting after
Speaker 5: Mason Miller's off speed pitches, not chasing and then attacking
Speaker 5: his fastball the way he did even at one hundred
Speaker 5: and two and one hundred and one miles an hour.
Speaker 5: Mason Miller is their best. The Dodgers saw their best
Speaker 5: and they got to it. The Dodgers offense the last
Speaker 5: three days has been pretty darn near good, except for
Speaker 5: the runners of scoring position on Monday Night and those
Speaker 5: opportunities they had in the seventh, eighth to ninth inning,
Speaker 5: But overall, the Dodgers a much better offensive team. The
Speaker 5: defense played pretty well the last three days. Tonight, two
Speaker 5: ground ball double plays to get out of innings. One
Speaker 5: was a huge one in the fifth inning with the
Speaker 5: bases loaded to one out, Fernando Tatis Junior grounds into
Speaker 5: a double play, and then a six to four to
Speaker 5: three double play again with runners on and Kyle Hurt
Speaker 5: on the mount in the eighth inning. Rodgers, in my opinion,
Speaker 5: took the best from the Padres and still come out
Speaker 5: of there winning two or three. And quite frankly, this
Speaker 5: is a Dodgers team that overall you could say, yeah,
Speaker 5: getting production, Freddy Freeman, a couple of doubles, Tascar Hernandez
Speaker 5: a home run tonight show Hey Otani a lead off
Speaker 5: home run.
Speaker 3: But when you pull back and look at this Dodgers.
Speaker 5: Team, you can make the case they're still not playing
Speaker 5: at the best of their capability. They're still not clicking
Speaker 5: on all cylinders, and to me, that's scary. For a
Speaker 5: team that's five and one on a road trip, winners
Speaker 5: of seven over their last eight overall, and now a
Speaker 5: game and a half lead in the division. It's pretty
Speaker 5: scary when you think about what they've done, how dominant
Speaker 5: they've been, with now thirty or twenty nine consecutive scoreless
Speaker 5: sittings for this Dodgers' bullpen. The starting pitching has been
Speaker 5: really good over this stretch as well, and they're still
Speaker 5: not really clicking one through nine offensively.
Speaker 3: That is scary. Eight six, six nine, eight seven, two
Speaker 3: five seventy.
Speaker 5: Dodgers Baseball is brought to by Medello Midello, the mark
Speaker 5: of a fighter. Now, the Dodgers will get another test
Speaker 5: this weekend in Milwaukee, and quite frankly, this will be
Speaker 5: a big one going on the road, going to the
Speaker 5: Dome there in Milwaukee, which will probably be closed. I
Speaker 5: can't imagine it to be open with the retractable roof there.
Speaker 5: But this is a Brewers team that's won three in
Speaker 5: a row, eight of ten. They're in first place in
Speaker 5: the NLS and the the NL Central, so you're gonna
Speaker 5: have two first place teams squaring off on Friday, Saturday,
Speaker 5: and Sunday, and the Dodgers in that series will be
Speaker 5: sending out Justin Robleski, Roki Sasaki, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Now
Speaker 5: they acquire Eric Lauer, who is DFAED from the Toronto
Speaker 5: Blue Jays. He is with the team in San Diego,
Speaker 5: and as you found out last night on Dodger Talk,
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts announced that it'll be Tuesday next week when
Speaker 5: the Dodgers return home, that we will see the debut
Speaker 5: of Eric Lauer, as he'll get a start against the
Speaker 5: Colorado Rockies next week when they start that homestand out
Speaker 5: at the Ravine in particular next Tuesday night against the
Speaker 5: Colorado Rockies, and that now will bring this Dodger rotation
Speaker 5: back to his six man rotation, which they've become very
Speaker 5: comfortable with, guys getting one start a week with an
Speaker 5: added off night built in there. And the Dodgers have
Speaker 5: two off nights coming up, one Tomorrow and one next Thursday.
Speaker 5: And for those asking what we've seen now, Showyotani just
Speaker 5: pitch and not hit the last couple of starts. Why
Speaker 5: did Dave Roberts tonight of all nights against the Padres,
Speaker 5: elect to have him be two ways show again. Well,
Speaker 5: I don't think there needs any explanation outside of the
Speaker 5: leadoff home run to start off the game in the
Speaker 5: top half of the first any But if you pull
Speaker 5: it back a little bit, look bigger and look at
Speaker 5: the overall projection here of Showyotani and starts and whether
Speaker 5: or not he should hit and pitch it the same
Speaker 5: nights tonight. He could do it because tomorrow is a
Speaker 5: built in off day, and with that built in off
Speaker 5: day today of rest for Shoiotani, you got all day
Speaker 5: Friday to get back at it, and he'll be good
Speaker 5: to go for a three game series once again as
Speaker 5: a designated hitter in Milwaukee on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 5: Eight six, six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy is
Speaker 5: the number. We'll take a quick time out, we'll come back.
Speaker 5: We'll hear from Jose Mota, We'll get to your phone calls,
Speaker 5: and we will hear from Showyotani as well. What a
Speaker 5: night for show two way show homers in the first
Speaker 5: and then five shutout innings to lower his era to
Speaker 5: zero point.
Speaker 3: Seven three and the thing.
Speaker 5: This was his shortest outing of the season, only five innings.
Speaker 3: He's gone at least six in every other start this year.
Speaker 5: He goes five tonight, turns it over to what has
Speaker 5: been a fantastic bullpen, and the Dodgers shut out the
Speaker 5: Padres four to nothing, eight and six, six, nine eighty seven, two,
Speaker 5: five to seventy. We'll come back with your phone calls
Speaker 5: in Jose Moda and here from show Hey when we

Speaker 5: in with Jack Peterson for third all time, as Davey
Speaker 5: Lopes and Mookie Betts the only two above them.
Speaker 3: Let's check in with Jose.
Speaker 1: It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mogas.
Speaker 5: All right, Jose, what do you make of the fact
Speaker 5: that the Dodgers take two with three and really I
Speaker 5: think set the tone getting to Mason Miller the last
Speaker 5: two nights. They break through last night getting him with
Speaker 5: that run, and they took their best shots from the Padres,
Speaker 5: but they're gonna leave San Diego with a bigger lead
Speaker 5: than they came in with.
Speaker 8: Well, mission accomplished in terms of playing better baseball, in
Speaker 8: terms of taking momentum from the Angels series into this
Speaker 8: series and knowing that things are not going to be
Speaker 8: as easy. You saw the first game, great job at
Speaker 8: Yava molt to one hit. That's it, Miguel Ido, our
Speaker 8: home run. But I think, you know the whole environment,
Speaker 8: I think the players feed off of it. I truly
Speaker 8: believe that when it comes down to see a Powders
Speaker 8: team that is the worst hitting team collectively average wise
Speaker 8: in the Big Leagues team and to say, well, why
Speaker 8: are they so close to the Dodgers is because they
Speaker 8: pitched so well. The bullpen you got to get to somehow,
Speaker 8: which they did thankfully starting yesterday. But it's the fact
Speaker 8: that you got to pitch well against them and have
Speaker 8: guys that they needed to be quiet, stay quiet the
Speaker 8: case of my childecause of TASiS Bogus and those guys.
Speaker 8: They came out here with a great planning studying with
Speaker 8: show Hey tonight. But you know, Showy paid attention to
Speaker 8: a lot of things in the first couple of games.
Speaker 8: That's what it saw. A lot of sleepers already in counts,
Speaker 8: but as a team overall, you can see the focus
Speaker 8: without making a bigger deal of the series of what
Speaker 8: it was to that's so focused the entire time just
Speaker 8: going through whoever it is and play better baseball.
Speaker 5: Jose, you are around show Hey when he came to
Speaker 5: the big leagues, you know, with the Angels and broke
Speaker 5: through and you know him a long time. He doesn't
Speaker 5: show a lot of emotion on the field. But after
Speaker 5: that six four to three double play that he got
Speaker 5: to tease on a sweeper as you mentioned, to ground
Speaker 5: into the double play and in the threat there in
Speaker 5: the fifth inning and keep the Dodgers up three to nothing,
Speaker 5: he said let's go and was fired up. I had
Speaker 5: never seen that before.
Speaker 3: Out of him.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean, he's a different guy when he's on the mound.
Speaker 8: Part of those things that Dave I said was always
Speaker 8: asking me about. So you know, you saw him pitch
Speaker 8: for an entire season with the Dodgers without what you
Speaker 8: saw him hit without pitching, and I'm like, be ready
Speaker 8: for another guy. He's a different personality. It's like he
Speaker 8: gets transformed. He gets irritated when he doesn't do well,
Speaker 8: when he gets hit. He does not want to let
Speaker 8: the team down, himself down on the fans down. But
Speaker 8: that's where the emotions come out because he knows that
Speaker 8: he's at he's trying to be perfect out there execution wise,
Speaker 8: pitch selection, and that's what the emotions are so great
Speaker 8: that he's not hiding that. It seems like for a time,
Speaker 8: you know, when he first came up, he was kind
Speaker 8: of very guarded with his emotions and people were like around, like, dude,
Speaker 8: just let it go. My trell the Albert pools like, dude.
Speaker 1: Just let it fly.
Speaker 8: Enjoy the big. Big is a long journey.
Speaker 3: You don't have to be as guarded.
Speaker 8: Enjoy the fact that you do two things, and at
Speaker 8: least if you don't show a whole lot on the
Speaker 8: offensive side, let it rip out there on the mound
Speaker 8: when you have something to celebrate what you saw once
Speaker 8: again here tonight.
Speaker 5: Tonight we also saw the Dodgers' bullpen and Guardo Enriquez
Speaker 5: a scoreless inning like trying in a scorelessening. Kyle Hurt
Speaker 5: becomes now a high leverage guy. For Dave Roberts a
Speaker 5: scoreless inning, he got helped out by a double play ball.
Speaker 5: We'll climb on one, two, three, ninth inning. Twenty nine
Speaker 5: consecutive scoreless innings. Now for this Dodgers' bullpen longest since
Speaker 5: nineteen eighty eight, and they're doing it without the guy
Speaker 5: they went this last offseason to get as their closer
Speaker 5: and Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 8: Is that something? Think about this. We went back to last
Speaker 8: homestand when the bullpen had to cover four and a
Speaker 8: third six innings, four innings, then go back to Friday,
Speaker 8: nine innings and they're just going out there and the
Speaker 8: more they pitched, the better they up. But let's keep
Speaker 8: it word they're at right now though, because at this
Speaker 8: point last season, we're all concerned about the usage of
Speaker 8: that bullpen because the starters we might give you enough innings.
Speaker 8: You know, executions number one. These guys, even though they
Speaker 8: have great arms, are not chasing punch outs. And Dave Roberts,
Speaker 8: Mark pryor Connor McGinnis all emphasized the first batter. Concentrate
Speaker 8: on the first batter. And by the way, also when
Speaker 8: you come in with the hairmeet runners, go out and
Speaker 8: do the job. For the guy in front of you,
Speaker 8: and just make sure that you make your best pitch,
Speaker 8: put the best effort, and don't forget about one more thing. Bullpen.
Speaker 8: Put the defense to work. It's very easy tim to
Speaker 8: come out of the bullpen to think it's all on me,
Speaker 8: it's about me and my arm and getting punch outs.
Speaker 8: Oh no, sir, go out there and use the best
Speaker 8: defense that you have, which is the best in the
Speaker 8: National League. By allowing them to do the work right
Speaker 8: here around the zone, you get the first battle out.
Speaker 8: A lot of good things are going to happen, and
Speaker 8: mainly the guys are going out there getting a hit
Speaker 8: and finishing off hitter so many ways.
Speaker 5: Well, get ready for lots of brought worse is the
Speaker 5: Dodgers head to Milwaukee tomorrow start a three game series
Speaker 5: on Friday. Don't look now, the Brewers first place to
Speaker 5: top the NL Central.
Speaker 1: Good team.
Speaker 8: Good team. And if you look at the starters coming
Speaker 8: up as the Dodgers go, who are these guys? But
Speaker 8: somehow Pat Murphy hasn't playing the baseball. They put the
Speaker 8: ball in play, They tested you out, and believe me,
Speaker 8: they're gunning for you because they know what happened last October,
Speaker 8: even though during the regular season last year, you know
Speaker 8: what happened is the Brewers gating the Dodgers in six games.
Speaker 8: But a different story now and those fans are not go.
Speaker 8: Let the Douaries forget. And more than anything, is another
Speaker 8: first place team, another great tests in which the dollu
Speaker 8: is not carry momentum, and also another ballpark with the
Speaker 8: ball is going to carry quite well. And the way
Speaker 8: they approach the a bats year of the series very
Speaker 8: encouraging to see the offense breaking out. I expect a
Speaker 8: lot of scoring for the Dodgers in Milwaukee, no doubt.
Speaker 5: About an American family field, whether the top is opener
Speaker 5: and closed, that ball will travel. Jose save travels and
Speaker 5: we'll talk to you in a couple of days. A
Speaker 5: right there, he goes Jose Mota checking in as the
Speaker 5: Dodgers will stay the night in San Diego, head to
Speaker 5: Milwaukee tomorrow and then a free Friday Saturday Sunday series
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee against the first place Brewers, and he mentioned
Speaker 5: the three starters for Milwaukee. Who are these guys, Logan Henderson,
Speaker 5: Robert gass Of the left hander, and Brandon Sprote, the
Speaker 5: right hander. We'll go on Sunday against Justin Robleski, Roki
Speaker 5: Sasaki and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. All right, let's go out to
Speaker 5: the phones. Thank you for being patient. Angelo. First up,
Speaker 5: Welcome to Dodger Talk on this Wednesday night, after the
Speaker 5: Dodgers take care of business and shut out the padres
Speaker 5: four to nothing.
Speaker 9: Hi doing Angelo, Hey youc thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 3: Sure, what's up?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 9: First time Log one listener originally grew up in La
Speaker 9: moving down with a fan in sam Creta, the Long Beach,
Speaker 9: now living Sandy's a question for you. Are he even
Speaker 9: a better city to be a Dodger fan than San Diego?
Speaker 3: U San Francisco?
Speaker 5: But no, I think being in San Diego it kind
Speaker 5: of feels like La. You got all the comforts and
Speaker 5: foods of La down in San Diego, and certainly Dodger
Speaker 5: Stadium South.
Speaker 3: Now they're at pet Go Park. No better place. You're
Speaker 3: right about that.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we can get that going Dodger Stadium South.
Speaker 1: I'd love that, right on.
Speaker 3: Angela.
Speaker 5: Good to hear from you in mine, man. Thank you
Speaker 5: for checking in and appreciate the phone call. Eight sixty
Speaker 5: six nine eighty seven two five seventy as the Dodgers
Speaker 5: tonight shut out the Padres. It had a little bit
Speaker 5: of a different atmosphere tonight at pet Go Park. Last night,
Speaker 5: I know it was almost sold out, but it was
Speaker 5: still loud in what was a Padres lead late that
Speaker 5: got away from them. Mason Miller gave it up in
Speaker 5: the ninth inning and the Dodgers went it five to four.
Speaker 3: But tonight a little bit more of a subdued crowd.
Speaker 5: And I know they try to keep Dodger fans out
Speaker 5: of pet Go Park, but there wasn't the electricity in
Speaker 5: the air going into this game, and certainly it got
Speaker 5: deflated right away on the first pitch of the game
Speaker 5: when shoey Otani took Randy Vasquez deep for a home run.
Speaker 3: But Randy Vasquez talking.
Speaker 5: To Padre people going into the series, they thought Michael
Speaker 5: King to start the series and in Ravasquez in the
Speaker 5: third game were their best opportunities against the Dodgers, and
Speaker 5: they kept saying after the last night, well, you know,
Speaker 5: well Vasquez is different. You know he's been pitching really
Speaker 5: well this year, off to a great start here in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty six, Uh, Dodgers will run into him on Wednesday,
Speaker 5: and of course shoe Otani, they hope to get after him,
Speaker 5: but as it is, they got to Vasquez on the
Speaker 5: first pitch of the game.
Speaker 3: They chased Vasquez.
Speaker 5: He ends up giving up three runs and the Dodgers
Speaker 5: shoe Otani goes five shutout innings, his shortest start of
Speaker 5: the year, but the fifth time this year he didn't
Speaker 5: allow it earned run, lowering that err nowt to zero
Speaker 5: point seven to three. He had nine up, nine down.
Speaker 5: He had a one two three first, one two three, second,
Speaker 5: a one.
Speaker 3: Two three third.
Speaker 5: He was working on a no hitter, a perfect game
Speaker 5: through three innings, again only innings, but then Fernando Toutis
Speaker 5: Junior a lead off walking the fourth. Two batters later,
Speaker 5: Gavin Sheets a single in the fourth changed things and
Speaker 5: he got out of it though in the fourth inning.
Speaker 5: But a one two three first, second, and third inning.
Speaker 5: You think, okay, what is that about twenty seid pitches,
Speaker 5: maybe thirty pitches. It was fifty two pitches for show
Speaker 5: hey Otani. Through three innings he was going deep into counts,
Speaker 5: but getting outs, which is the most important thing, and
Speaker 5: keeping traffic on the base pass no free walks, no
Speaker 5: passes to the San Diego Padres in those first three innings,
Speaker 5: got out of it in the fourth inning, but again,
Speaker 5: a huge ground ball double play from Fernando Tatis Junior
Speaker 5: on a sweeper with the bases loaded gets him to
Speaker 5: ground into a six four to three double play. And
Speaker 5: I think it was well said by Rick Monday right
Speaker 5: after it happened. If that ball's not hit as hard
Speaker 5: as it is off the end of the bat, but
Speaker 5: right at Mookie Betts at shortstop, or he was positioned,
Speaker 5: if it's hit a couple of feet to the glove
Speaker 5: side left, if it's hit to the right and he's
Speaker 5: got a backhanded all they're getting is a force play
Speaker 5: at second and a run is gonna score, but a
Speaker 5: second out will be made.
Speaker 3: That's it. But that ball was.
Speaker 5: Hit directly at Mookie Betts. All he had to do
Speaker 5: was turn throw it a second to Hasan Kim who
Speaker 5: made a quick turn at second to go to first
Speaker 5: and get Fernando Tatiz Junior by a step.
Speaker 3: To get out of the inning.
Speaker 5: So perfectly placed, perfectly positioned, six four to three double play,
Speaker 5: and it keeps the Padres off the board. Just great
Speaker 5: execution by the Dodgers there. In the fifth inning. And
Speaker 5: what can you say about this Dodgers bullpen. Everybody's contributed.
Speaker 5: I mean you talk about the guys who have been
Speaker 5: called up, the guys who have been sent down, the
Speaker 5: guys who have come in and pitched and helped out
Speaker 5: this Dodgers team when you don't know their names. I mean,
Speaker 5: let's go back to Sunday and Chase McDermott coming in
Speaker 5: and pitching in the Dodgers ten to one win. I mean,
Speaker 5: these are names you're gonna lose and forget quickly, but
Speaker 5: have been big part of this Dodger Now twenty nine
Speaker 5: consecutive scoreless innings, Kyle Hurt has turned into a really,
Speaker 5: really good closer and reliever for the Dodgers. Kyle Hurt,
Speaker 5: a guy who's been hurt and finally healthy now is
Speaker 5: continuing to stack up and put up zeros. One inning
Speaker 5: pitch tonight, no runs, a couple of hits, a strikeout.
Speaker 5: Now eleven innings pitch, he's got ten strikeouts and a
Speaker 5: season era under one. Kyle Hurt now becoming a guy
Speaker 5: that Dodgers can rely upon coming out of the bullpen.
Speaker 5: They just keep throwing them at you, They just keep
Speaker 5: coming in waves. These Dodger pitchers. Ben Casparius hurt, but
Speaker 5: he's been solid the last two years. Jack Dreyer, left
Speaker 5: hander coming out of the bullpen, Justin Robleski Morphy now
Speaker 5: back into a starting pitcher, has been so big out
Speaker 5: of the bullpen for the Dodgers. These arms just keep
Speaker 5: coming at you. And if you can add Kyle Hurt
Speaker 5: now as another right handed reliever that you can call
Speaker 5: upon in a high leverage situation to go along with
Speaker 5: the Blake Trining, I mean, talk about two arms now
Speaker 5: you can choose from Blake Trina was at one point
Speaker 5: the only right handed, high leverage reliever the Dodgers had.
Speaker 3: Then then you give the ball now to Edwin Diaz. Well,
Speaker 3: he's hurt. So Kyle hurt Now.
Speaker 5: Comes in and steps into a role that he could
Speaker 5: pitch late in the game and get you out and
Speaker 5: put zeros on the scoreboard. Eight six, six, nine, eight
Speaker 5: seven two five seventy show Hey Otani two ways, show
Speaker 5: Homer's tonight to lead off the game. Then five shutout innings,
Speaker 5: four strikeouts, picks up the win, lowers at e R
Speaker 5: to zero point seven to three. Let's go back out
Speaker 5: to pet Goo Park. Here's showy Otani postgame with the.
Speaker 11: Media, say, when you look at how you were able
Speaker 11: to grind through these five innings of work today, how
Speaker 11: did you find just you felt on the mound and
Speaker 11: navigating through their lineup? So sure.
Speaker 6: On this company.
Speaker 10: To mother, Yeah, a lot of uncertainty coming into this
Speaker 10: outing because the field wasn't great and so the results
Speaker 10: were good, but you know, as you saw the the
Speaker 10: you know, the process wasn't that great.
Speaker 11: When it comes to that uncertainty, where do you think
Speaker 11: that came from? Is that something you felt during his
Speaker 11: bullpen ahead of the game or was that something you
Speaker 11: felt just coming into the start in general?
Speaker 6: Oh, it's just overall feel.
Speaker 10: You know, I have a pretty high standard, uh in
Speaker 10: terms of performing, and so it didn't really match.
Speaker 2: Sure, here, we saw a lot of emotion out of
Speaker 2: you after you got tattoos the ground into that double
Speaker 2: play to end the fifth inning?
Speaker 1: Where did that.
Speaker 6: All come from?
Speaker 2: And was that a peak to how much competitive spirit
Speaker 2: you have inside of you?
Speaker 10: Just get me?
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 8: Not so this.
Speaker 1: No mind, I.
Speaker 6: Don't find.
Speaker 10: I love the results, but I walked the guy before
Speaker 10: and that wasn't quite exactly what I wanted to do there,
Speaker 10: so you know, just the results were good.
Speaker 5: All right, there's will Ireton a long way show, Hey
Speaker 5: O Tani, what a night for two ways show the
Speaker 5: hitter and the picture getting it done in a shut
Speaker 5: out win as the Dodgers shut out the Padres four
Speaker 5: to nothing. We mentioned earlier, he is sixth in the
Speaker 5: list of starting pitchers since nineteen twenty to have an
Speaker 5: ERA under one through eight starts into his season. Well,
Speaker 5: just to kind of pull it back a little further, here,
Speaker 5: show hey Otani and his zero point seven to three
Speaker 5: ERRA joints Fernando Valenzuela with a sub one er through
Speaker 5: eight games. Only two Dodgers starting pitchers have done that
Speaker 5: since nineteen twelve. Fernando Valenzuala in nineteen eighty one, that
Speaker 5: magical start with a zero point five zero RORA through
Speaker 5: the first eight games. And show Aotani now with a
Speaker 5: zero point seven to three ERRA through eight games to
Speaker 5: start the season. I mean, what a start for show?
Speaker 5: He any homers tonight? Just when you thought he couldn't
Speaker 5: do it all in one game, moved it wrong. And
Speaker 5: how about in a big game. This isn't Rockies on
Speaker 5: a Wednesday night. This isn't a day game against the
Speaker 5: Seattle Mariners. This is a Wednesday night start, final game
Speaker 5: of a three game series at pet Goo Park in
Speaker 5: San Diego. And Show Ao Tani homers and goes five
Speaker 5: shutout innings. Obviously, the pitch count got up there with
Speaker 5: eighty eight pitches, but you felt like that was enough
Speaker 5: from Show and turn it over to this Dodger's Bullpen,
Speaker 5: which has been fantastic. Celebrate ninety years of racing at
Speaker 5: Santa Anita Park every Friday through Sunday with millions and
