WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (6-22-26) 

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the fifth.

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>This is world Champion Dodgers Talk.

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.040

<v Speaker 1>Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts. Here's your host,

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>David Vase.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:36.279
<v Speaker 4>Last day, we are live at Target Field after the

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 4>Dodgers hit two home runs to beat the Twins tonight

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 4>by a final score of.

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Two to one.

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vasse with you until eight

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty tonight here on a five to seventy LA Sports.

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>We have phone lines open at eight six six nine

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy. We will hear from Eric Lauer,

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we will hear from Kyle Tucker, and we will here

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 2>from Dave Roberts as far as his thoughts on Tucker's

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>first half struggles. Because we are getting closer to the

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:13.279
<v Speaker 2>midway point of the season and that will happen later

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>this week. But the Dodgers, with the win two to one,

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 2>beating the Twins win their fiftieth game of the year.

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 3>They're the first.

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Team in Major League Baseball this year to reach fifty wins,

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>and this is the fastest the Dodgers have reached the

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>fifty win plateau since twenty twenty two. They won fifty

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>games in twenty twenty two, faster than they reached it here,

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>and that season in twenty twenty two, the Dodgers won

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and eleven games. That's right, one hundred and

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>eleven and fifty one in twenty twenty two. So we'll

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 2>see if the Dodgers, well, it looks like the Dodgers

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>are going to win one hundred games. And if you

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>remember the last two back to back championships in the

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>regular season, the Dodgers did not win one hundred games

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>in the last two years, so they are navigating a

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>weaker NL West than expected. The Padres are not as

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>good and not hitting like many thought they would at

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>the very least, and the Arizona Diamondbacks are certainly a

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>step down from the Dodgers. And with the win tonight,

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 2>speaking of all that, the Dodgers the first team to

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>get to fifty wins. The Padres are just two games

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>above five hundred, they're nine and a half games back

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers, and Arizona's five hundred they're ten and

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>a half games back of the Dodgers. So with all

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>that mixed into it, the Dodgers are head and shoulders

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>above the rest of the division. They just got to

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>continue to maintain and certainly not allow their intensity to drop,

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>because we have seen that in years past where the

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers kind of let their guard down, make it a

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 2>tighter division race than it should be, and even sometimes

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 2>not playing their best baseball when they go into September

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>and into October. So Dave Roberts has been through that,

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the same players on this team have

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.679
<v Speaker 2>been through that. They understand what it takes to get

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 2>ready for October. But let's just enjoy fifty wins first

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>team to get there. The Dodgers should enjoy being nine

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half games ahead of the San Diego Padres,

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and they will head to San Diego after the final

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>game of this series. Day off Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>A big weekend series in San Diego. And the reason

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 2>why I say it's a big weekend series in San Diego.

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not a big series for the Dodgers. It's a

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>big series for the Padres to try to stay alive

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>in the division before the All Star break, and it

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>seems like it's a big weekend for you. I don't

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 2>know how many people have texted me or dm me

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram. Hey, I'm gonna be in San Diego. Hey,

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be in San Diego. Hey great, I'll be

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>in San Diego too. Enjoy the games eight six six,

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 2>not eight seven to two five seventy. So the Dodgers

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>this tonight decided to go with an opener. Nobody was

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 2>expecting that. And when we saw the lineup, we saw

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Will Klein as the opener, and you start to think

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>through why the Dodgers wanted a right handed opener tonight,

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>like Will Klein, and you look at the Twins lineup

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and the most dangerous hitter in their lineups hitting third

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and Byron Buxton, who the Dodgers obviously did not want

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Eric Lowerd to face more than twice tonight, and he

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't face him more than twice, and he kept him

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>in the ballpark.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Will kleinb though, didn't.

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Keep Buxton in the ballpark Buxton hit a home run

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to left field in the first inning to tie the games. So,

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, a lot of times the process, the plans,

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>they may be the right decision, but sometimes don't work

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>out the way you thought they would. And that's what

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>tonight would fall into as far as that category goes.

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>But give Eric Lower a lot of credit. Who's been

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 2>pitching really well. He had an opener tonight and he

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>is on the record as saying he doesn't love an opener.

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 3>What starting pitcher would love an opener.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>He went out there and pitched six no hit innings,

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.479
<v Speaker 2>walk three, did not give up a single run in

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>a close game. It was a tied game until the

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.359
<v Speaker 2>sixth inning when Freddie Freeman hit that home run.

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 3>So say what you will.

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 2>About Eric Lower, this guy has been really good for

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers and has been giving them innings. Not only good,

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>but he's been giving them innings, which is big considering

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Emid Shehan has not been able to pitch.

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 3>That well this year.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So Eric Lwer certainly has been a great pickup by

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Freeman and the Dodgers. Let's hear from the Dodger

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 2>left and winning pitcher tonight on sports Net la.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 5>A lot better. Uh, the first one that got me

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 5>a little bit, so definitely wanted to make sure I

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 5>had better command of the zone and you know, control

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 5>of my stuff. And luckily enough I was able to

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, get some.

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.799
<v Speaker 6>Early outs and some quick outs.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 5>So it's worked out.

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 1>How much do you attribute to not being just the

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 1>work that you've put in, the findings you've had since

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>coming over to this organization.

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 5>I think it plays a huge role. I think that's

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, kind of exactly what I want to see,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 5>especially on days like today where I you know, I

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 5>don't feel like I have my best stuff or my

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 5>best velo. I'm still able to command the zone and

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, execute pitches as well, So you know, putting

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 5>a lot of emphasis on the defense today was a

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 5>huge part. And you know it's something that you know,

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 5>we definitely can do because you know, we have a

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 5>defense that's that good. So yeah, definitely definitely felt a

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 5>lot better about today as far as you know, command

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 5>and control of the zone. It should go.

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Dave and the staff just leading to this note's preparing

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 2>for following an opener.

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Today, What was the beginning of that?

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 2>How did the communication Chicai go and like, how much

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 2>did it help me to have heads up this was

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>going coming.

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they doctor you know, told me pretty early on

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 5>like they were thinking about it. We had a nice

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 5>conversation about it. He explained his thoughts on it. I

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 5>explained my thoughts on it, and we kind of, you know,

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 5>had a nice come together of you know, this is

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 5>the plan, this is what we see, and we're not

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 5>going to deviate from it. So I think that's huge,

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 5>especially in this kind of situation where you know there

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 5>can some unknowns can creep in throughout the game, especially

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 5>if you know at first inning goes a little sideways

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 5>or something. So you know, being upfront and knowing what

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 5>the plan is no matter what is is really big.

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:46.840
<v Speaker 3>All Right.

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 2>There's Eric Lower on sports in at LA, and that's

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>something that Dave Roberts said that Lower wanted as far

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>as clarity goes, and to a certain extent didn't get

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>that with the Blue Jays when they try to use

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>an opener for him earlier this season. So a great

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>job by Eric Lower, a great job by the Dodgers

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>to stick to their plan and communicate. And that's one

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 2>thing Lower has told me what separates the Dodgers, from

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the training room to the food room, to the dugout

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen. Everybody is on the same page as

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>far as the game plan goes. Eight six, six, nine,

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 2>eight seven, two five seventy is the phone number. Now,

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers won the game on two home runs. When

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 2>they homer twice in a game, they're twenty four and four.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 2>And you know, Dave Roberts could talk about plan and

0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>approach and yes, that is huge, but the reality of

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>the identity of this Dodger team going back the last five, six,

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 2>seven years, is a slugging team. They homer, they win,

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 2>and the records exemplify that. When the Dodgers don't homer

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 2>this year, they've only won seven times. When they do homer,

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 2>even just once or twice in a game, they're twenty

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 2>three and four, twenty four and four.

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 2>So you know, we talk about football teams when you

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>get to week six, week seven, they have an identity.

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 2>We're halfway through the year. Here's the Dodgers' identity on offense.

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 2>They pass the baton, they don't chase out of the

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 2>zone when they're going good, and they homer.

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 3>They are the.

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Best defensive team in baseball and they relying on pitching

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>in defense and home runs. That's their identity. Think back

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 2>to Game seven of the World Series. The little things

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>won the game for the Dodgers. Defense won the game

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. Pitching won the game for the Dodgers.

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>And oh, by the way, they scored their runs with

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 2>home runs Max Munsey, Miguel Rojas, and Will Smith. So

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>you could say all you want, the reality is when

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers homer, they have a good chance of winning.

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Tonight's game brought to you by Modello Modello, the mark

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 2>of a fighter. The Dodgers won, but they lost two starters,

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing, and that's a big one. Hopefully he's not

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>out for too long because Will Smith is not coming

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>on this road trip anytime soon, and Dalton Rushing is

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 2>their starting catcher. Chucky Robinson had to come into this

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 2>game to start the bottom of the third inning after

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Rushing couldn't go anymore, taking a foul ball on the

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>very first pitch, foul back by Trevor Larnock, a ninety

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>eight fastball from Will Klimb, off the mask, off the bat,

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>and off the mask of Dalton Rushing. So fingers crossed.

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Rushing doesn't miss more than a game or two. But

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>there's a very good chance you'll see Chucky Robinson in

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 2>there tomorrow. And here's another little caveat to all that.

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Before the game, a couple of players were telling me

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 2>there's thunderstorms in the area and they've heard rain, rain delay,

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>maybe even possibly you know, a rain that would affect

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the game being played tomorrow, But the weather changes so

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 2>quickly here. If the Dodgers don't play tomorrow, I don't

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 2>think it would be the worst thing.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 3>It might actually help them.

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 2>With Dalton Rushing going through concussion protocols and Kyle Tucker

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>leaving with backspasms, a double aheader on Wednesday wouldn't be

0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the worst thing with the day off on Thursday. Speaking

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.280
<v Speaker 2>of Kyle Tucker, let's hear from the Dodger right fielder

0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.719
<v Speaker 2>who left the game in the second inning with backspasms.

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.319
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I really felt it like we went out

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 6>for defense and disteen innings in the first back just

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 6>like lit up and went out there and just tried

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 6>to hope that may kind of calmed down or go

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 6>away or something, just keep playing through it. So went

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 6>through the bottom of the first like that and then

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 6>through that, you know, top of the second went through

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 6>that bad and kind of on the basis and stuff,

0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.679
<v Speaker 6>and like Kyle was just still sticking around, still kind

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 6>of there. So doctor just went ahead and put ac

0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 6>in and got me out of there.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Is this something that you have felt before or experienced before,

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and if so, is there a concern level with this?

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 6>I had it once, like a couple of years ago.

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 6>It was just like the one time it didn't like

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 6>the initial like when I'm back locked up kind of

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 6>felt like that. So I kind of knew what it was,

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 6>but it wasn't like to the extent that it was

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 6>that I had before. So hopefully that's good. You just

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 6>got to kind of see how it goes tomorrow before.

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Like how long were you down where you can line.

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 6>Up next day?

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 3>Like what what.

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I don't know if it's to go the

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 6>exact same. I mean the next day. I came back

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 6>the next day and or the last time. The next

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 6>day I came back pretty good. I think I was

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 6>in there the next series, but they didn't feel like

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 6>how it did last time. It was a little bit,

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 6>which is good. I mean last time it was lighting

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.559
<v Speaker 6>up like every couple of seconds or minutes or whatever.

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.719
<v Speaker 6>But here was just like that one time it let

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 6>my hold back and then after that kind of calmed down.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 6>But it's just like super sore and like smaller kind

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 6>of out of kind of fault.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:06.199
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Kyle Tucker about what he was feeling

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 2>in his back tonight when he was taken out of

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the game. Dave Roberts said earlier that he fell to

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>right before the game when he was going out to

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 2>right field, and Dave Roberts never even went out to

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 2>second base. He saw Tucker squatting once he got there

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 2>after Tommy Edmond hit a single to advance him, and

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 2>he just said get out of the game. And obviously

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Dave was aware that he was dealing with some backspasms

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>right before taking the field tonight. And when we continue

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk, we'll take your phone calls at eight

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 2>sixty six, nine eighty seven, two five seventy. But we're

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 2>at the halfway point and Kyle Tucker is having his

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 2>worst season statistically in his major league career, and he's

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 2>not passing the eye test either. So we asked Dave

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Roberts what he's seeing and whether or not. He knows

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 2>what makes Tucker tick. So we'll get into that and

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>we'll take your phone calls at eight six, six, nine

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy. After the Dodgers beat the

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Twins on two solo home runs, Otani and Freeman beat

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 2>out Buxton in the Twins two to one on a

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Vase.

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Like, I have the feeling something's got to give here

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty soon for the Dodger offense.

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I have the feeling it's gonna be a loud

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 6>sound sometime soon.

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Freeman swings hits a high drive center field.

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 3>Buxton looking up and this ball.

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Is gone A hold run right on, que Freddie Freeman.

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 3>I rest my case. How did Rick Monday know? How

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 3>did he know?

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Guys been around baseball a long time, That's how. Freddie

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Freeman a go ahead solo home run to lead off

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inn and gave the Dodgers a two to

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 2>one lead off of Zebi Matthews, and that would be

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the final score as Otani let off the game with

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 2>a home run, Freddie hits a leadoff home run in

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the sixth inning, and the Dodgers out Homer Buxton in

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 2>the twins two to one. Daniels Jewelers presents the home

<v Speaker 2>your name and you could win. Daniels Jewelers own the dream.

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>By the way, O'tani's leadoff home run tonight was the

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>sixth of the season, thirtieth of his career, twenty fourth

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>leadoff home run as a Dodger. That's the second most

0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 2>in Dodger history to Mookie Betts and Davey Lopes. So

0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>O'tani continuing to getting close to rewriting the Dodger record books,

0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure. Now, before we get to Kyle Tucker

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and Dave Roberts and diving into all of that, It's

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 2>always fun when somebody calls Dodger Talk, who was at

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the game on the road and Bob was out here

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 2>at Target Field.

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Bob, you're on Dodger talk.

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 7>How you doing, Hey, David, Great to talk to you again.

0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:17.480
<v Speaker 6>It's been a while.

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 7>And yeah, I was actually at the game at Dodgers

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 7>Stadium yesterday, which was pretty rough, and then my wife

0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 7>and I hopped on the plane and came back to

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 7>Minneapolis where we live three or four blocks from the stadium,

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.440
<v Speaker 7>and really highlights from tonight, Yeah, yep, yep, I can

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 7>see it out my window and at the highlights and

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 7>night just great, having the boys in town, seeing Shoe

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 7>and freddie go Long, seeing all the Dodger fans. They

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 7>literally took the stadium over. And then the last highlight

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 7>was meeting four women who came in from the southern

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 7>California and one of whom has been following the Dodgers

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 7>around at different stadiums and she's been to twenty two

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 7>different stadiums going to Dodger games as well, so it

0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 7>was pretty cool to meet her.

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Hey, that's great when you start to meet fellow Dodger

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:06.600
<v Speaker 2>fans in different cities. So, how many Dodger road games

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.879
<v Speaker 2>have you been to? How many ballparks have you chicked

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 2>off the list?

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.840
<v Speaker 7>I've been to all but two, but not following the Dodgers,

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.119
<v Speaker 7>So I still have two more stadiums to get to,

0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 7>but too then we went to Toronto, which too need

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 7>to get to Miami and they need to get to

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 7>the new Rangers when I went to the old one.

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, all right, all right? And what okay, since

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 2>you came out here to Minnesota, you've been to twenty

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 2>eight of the thirty stadiums. What's the scatting report you

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 2>could give Dodger fans about coming to Target Field?

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.400
<v Speaker 7>You know, it's a great place to see the game.

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.959
<v Speaker 7>Unfortunately they're not doing so well since the crowds are

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 7>pretty low. This is probably the biggest crowd of the night.

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, it's a great place to see the game.

0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 3>And what about we don't.

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Care about that. You know what we care about We

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>care about food, right, Yeah.

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 7>No, we hit. We got some Indian food tonight, which

0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 7>I was so surprisingly good, and.

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Indian food at the ballpark, Indian food inside the stadium.

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.879
<v Speaker 7>Got some chicken tika masala and rice. Yeah, it was

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 7>really good.

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I gotta try that tomorrow. What sections that in.

0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 7>It's kind of behind the Dodgers dugout and then that

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.120
<v Speaker 7>first concourse up there.

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so wow, that's the first I've never heard Indian

0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 2>food sold at a stadium before. But then again, the

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are selling a lot of unique Asian food.

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Yep, yep.

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 7>So well, listen, let's hope it. We're going to again

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 7>tomorrow night, so let's hope they get this game in.

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:43.920
<v Speaker 7>Otherwise we'll be there on Wednesday.

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, Thanks a lot for the phone call, Bob,

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:51.959
<v Speaker 2>appreciate a great scan report on target field Indian food. Huh,

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.360
<v Speaker 2>that was not what I was expecting. Eight sixty six

0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.120
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 2>beat the Twinston two to one, and yeah, there is

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.639
<v Speaker 2>rain in the forecast tomorrow night, so we'll see whether

0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>or not the powers that be believe that they can

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 2>play some semblance of a game tomorrow. If not, there'll

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.040
<v Speaker 2>be a doubleheader on Wednesday at day night doubleheader with

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers having a day off on Thursday. And like

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I said, it might not be the worst thing, considering

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 2>how thin they're getting behind the plate with catchers, and

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>that Tucker has backspasms. And before we get to Tucker,

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>I really need to say this. Everybody is so focused

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 2>on Tarrek's Schooble, And yes, Trek's Scooble would be a

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 2>difference making picture for the Dodgers or any other playoff contender,

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.199
<v Speaker 2>don't get me wrong. But and we'll get into this

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe tomorrow night, there are other pictures that could be

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>available at the trade deadline that could be difference makers

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers, not named Tarrek Scooble. But aside from that,

0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 2>how about the Dodgers making a trade for a third catcher.

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are down to Chucky Robinson. Now, last year

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:07.199
<v Speaker 2>they had to go out and find Ben Rohtvit, who,

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.719
<v Speaker 2>by the way, is catching for Triple A Syracuse, an

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>affiliate the Triple A team for the Mets. So since

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the Mets are going nowhere, maybe Ben Rohortfitt is available

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:22.200
<v Speaker 2>again for trade. But you know Will Smith getting hurt

0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and now Dalton Rushing taking a foul ball off the mask,

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you're down to Chucky Robinson and who else if Dalton

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Rushing were to have any sort of lingering effects of

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a concussion. So, yes, Trek Scooble would be amazing any

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.160
<v Speaker 2>other starting pitcher, and I do believe the Dodgers need

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:45.719
<v Speaker 2>one more starting pitcher. Aside from that, how about a

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 2>third catcher, you know, that can handle a championship quality

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 2>team in case something like this happens with Rushing going

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>down and Will Smith being on the IL. Now, the

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 2>way Dave Roberts was talking, it doesn't seem like Will

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Smith is going.

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.960
<v Speaker 3>To be on the IL for much longer.

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And look, who knows, maybe Will Smith rejoins the Dodgers

0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 2>when they get back to the West Coast in San

0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Diego or Sacramento. But yeah, this is not ideal a

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 2>capable and I'm not trying to knock Chucky Robinson. Chucky

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Robinson's doing as good of a job as he can.

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 2>But it feels like the Dodgers may be in the

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 2>market for another catcher because they've done such a great

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 2>job of having that third catcher ready to go at

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma City. It just as it seems like there's a

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.239
<v Speaker 2>greater drop off right now than there has been in

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 2>recent years. Eight six six nine, eight seven, two five

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. I really want to dive

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 2>into this Kyle Tucker thing, but we're running out of time,

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.639
<v Speaker 2>so it's gonna have to wait until tomorrow.

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 3>But certainly I'll just say this to end the show.

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.640
<v Speaker 2>H Kyle Tucker having back spasms, It wouldn't be such

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 2>a bad idea if he took his time and to

0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.960
<v Speaker 2>be able to reset. Remember I've said this a few

0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.120
<v Speaker 2>different times now. I don't believe Kyle Tucker is going

0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>to be able to reset his season before the All

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Star Break. I feel like that's gonna take place the

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.439
<v Speaker 2>second half of the year. And I really do believe

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 2>he needs that mentally and maybe just some time to

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 2>reset whatever he's working on with his stride, because I

0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 2>know what Nomar Garcia Para broke down on sports and

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 2>at LA a couple of weeks ago, is what Aaron

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Bates and the Dodgers' hitting coaches are working with Kyle

0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Tucker with, as far as you know, shortening his stride

0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:37.679
<v Speaker 2>because when he shortness stride in past years, he was

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 2>an effective hitter.

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 3>And I'll say this.

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:42.879
<v Speaker 2>And I'll just I'll have the last word on Tucker

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.040
<v Speaker 2>for tonight on this. For those of you that believe

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:50.680
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't care, you're completely wrong. He does care, and

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 2>right now his confidence is at an all time low.

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 2>There's no doubt about that. But after the game yesterday

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.679
<v Speaker 2>he went straight to the hitting cage because I was

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 2>waiting for him at his locker and I was told

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.719
<v Speaker 2>he was in the hitting cage after the game before

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the team got on the bus to leave for the airport.

0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 2>So the perception that he doesn't care, or if you

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>believe he doesn't care, you're completely wrong. He does care,

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 2>And I think tomorrow night, we're gonna just have to,

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, make sure you understand what your expectation should

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.199
<v Speaker 2>be for Kyle Tucker, because if you look at his

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.439
<v Speaker 2>career stats, he's only hit thirty home runs in a

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 2>season twice. If you're thinking he's hitting forty forty five

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 2>home runs or that's what he should have done this year,

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>you're wrong because that's not who he's been his entire career.

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 2>So we'll get into that tomorrow night. And coming up tomorrow,

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Justin Robleski's on the mound for the Dodgers. He's eight

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and two with an ERA of two seventy two, making

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.399
<v Speaker 2>a strong case for himself to be included in the

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 2>conversation to be part of the National League All Star

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:02.159
<v Speaker 2>team in Philadelphia. And if he wins again tomorrow and

0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 2>he pitches the way he has, I don't know how

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 2>you leave this guy off the All Star team. He's

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.360
<v Speaker 2>going up against one of the best American League pitchers

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Ryan, who definitely has had his name talked

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 2>about in trade rumors. Ryan this year is five and

0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 2>three with an ERA of two ninety nine. Our coverage

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>begins tomorrow at three point thirty with first pitch from

0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 2>target Field at four forty with Rick Monday and Tim Neverett.

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.200
<v Speaker 3>That'll do it for us tonight.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Thanks to calling you back at our Burbank Studios, thanks

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to Dwayne McDonald out here at target Field, and thanks

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.439
<v Speaker 2>to you for listening. And also thanks to all the

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans that showed up and showed out at Downy

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Hunday on Saturday for three time World Series winning manager

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts.

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.440
<v Speaker 3>It was a great time out there.

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks to Sam and all the family at Downy Hunday.

0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>You made it special and go down to Downey Hunday

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:59.919
<v Speaker 2>watch the World Cup games, hang out and maybe even

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:03.359
<v Speaker 2>think about kicking the tires on a Downy Hundai.

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm driving an Ionic nine. It's changed my life.

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievable and it saved me a ton of money

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 2>on gas.

0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 3>So thank you.

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:14.399
<v Speaker 2>To everybody at Downy Hunday and head out there seventy

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:19.080
<v Speaker 2>five to fifty Firestone Boulevard. Just hang out, watch the soccer,

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 2>watch Messi at Downy Hundai once again. The final score

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 2>tonight from Minnesota, the Dodgers beat the Twins two to one.

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 3>Have a great rest of your night.

0:25:28.880 --> 0:25:33.159
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers fastest team to fifty wins this season in baseball.

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Fox Sports Radio is next. See ya. The Cults
