WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (7-2-26) 

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

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:12.040
<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 Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 2>Here we go again. We're going to running back.

0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 3>To get him on the show called eight six six

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 3>nine eighty seven two five seventy and be sure to

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 3>follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts.

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, David Vase, last.

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Day, Welcome the Dodger Talk. David Vasay with you until

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the hour after the Dodgers return home

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>with a twelve to seven come from behind victory. We

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 2>have phone lines open at eight six six nine eight

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy for all of you out there

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 2>in the parking lot are driving home after the Drone show.

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>A sellout crowd came for the Drone Show. They came

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>for the one piece cards, and they came for the Dodgers,

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 2>who put on a show and reminded everybody why they

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>are the best team in Major League Baseball and the

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>defending back to back World champions. With their fifty seventh

0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>win of the year, they're fifty seven and thirty one,

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 2>now thirteen games ahead of the Padres, who are five

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 2>hundred and reeling after losing six in a row now,

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>which started last Saturday night when they gave up fifteen

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 2>runs to the Dodgers. The San Diego Padres now have

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 2>allowed sixty five runs over these last six games. According

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to Dennis Lynn of The Athletic, it's the worst six

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.559
<v Speaker 2>games span in franchise history, surpassing the sixty one runs

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>they allowed back in twenty sixteen from May to June second,

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>May twenty eighth to June second, twenty sixteen. And look,

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the Padres are starting to get some offerens from Machado

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>and Tata, but their pitching is extremely thin, as we

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>saw tonight as the Dodgers took it to Randy Vasquez

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 2>again as they got to him for four runs after

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>he was spotted six nothing after he was spotted a

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>six nothing lead thanks to Roki Sasaki not being very

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>effective tonight either, And let's just get this out of

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 2>the way so we could celebrate the Dodgers coming from

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>behind after being down six nothing. Roki Sasaki in his

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>last four starts, he's only thrown seventeen innings He's only

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 2>lasted seventeen innings combined in his last four starts. He's

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>given up nineteen urned runs, he's allowed twenty one hits,

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>and he's walked eleven batters. And oh, by the way,

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 2>he's given up seven home runs. So you could talk

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 2>about tipping all you want. That's more than just tipping pitches.

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. And you just hope that he can rediscover

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the confidence that he showed during that stint of five

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>or six games at the end of May and in June,

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>because the Dodgers don't need him to be seven scoreless

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>innings the way he pitched against the Angels twice. They

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>just need five innings. Do what Emmit Sheen did last Sunday.

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Just go five innings, allow one and run, keep the

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 2>team in the game, don't put them in a hole.

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't put your bullpen in a hole. And this goes

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>back to the last two nights. Thank goodness for Justin

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Robleski for seven innings and one hundred and ten pitches.

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank goodness for Jack Dryer and Charlie Barnes last night,

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>especially Barnes saving the bullpen. Robleski and Barnes saved the

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodger bullpen the last two nights to be set up

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>for this four game series, and the wild card that

0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 2>is Roki Sasaki. There's no better way to describe Sasaki.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>He's a wild card. I don't care what you believe

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>his ceiling is. You have no idea what's going to

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>happen when he takes the mound. And if you say

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>you do, you're reading Dylan Hernandez and his fiction. Eight

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>phone number. All right, let's talk about the Dodger offense.

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>You're down six to nothing after the Padres take it

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>to Sasak two runs in the first inning on a

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 2>two run home run by Manny Machado, and then Marilynd

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>Cronenworth hit home runs in the second inning, So they're

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 2>down six nothing going into the bottom of the second.

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Dalton rushing started to give people belief that they could

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 2>come back. There was a lot of game left, and

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>it just shows how the Dodgers are so much more

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 2>mentally tough, not only more than the Padres, but more

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>than any the team in baseball. It could have been

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>very easy for the Dodgers just to pack it in.

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>They got in late after a night game in Sacramento,

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>coming off a nine game road trip. They know they're

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 2>playing with house money. They now have a thirteen game

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>lead over the Padres. They're running away with the division

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>down six to nothing. You get a start like that

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 2>from Sasaki, but it felt like when Roki put a

0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>zero up in the third inning and the Dodgers hit

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>a two run home run thanks to Dalton rushing and

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts didn't allow Sasaki to go back out there.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean the pitch count was high, it was at

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight pitches, but for him to bring in Will

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Klein and Cline to put up a zero in the fourth,

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>that gave the Dodgers even more momentum. When they're able

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>to score two more in the third all of a sudden,

0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>now it's a six to four game, and they got

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Randy Vasquez on the ropes like they had him on

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the ropes last Saturday night. Four runs in the fourth inning,

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Pajz's game time tying two run double as a Sadad

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Taylor couldn't come up with it clean down there, Dino

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Eble was waving home all these guys, Tommy Edman, Dalton

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.919
<v Speaker 2>rushing Max Munsey moving the line, Mookie Betts with the

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 2>go ahead double to score Piez in that four run fourth.

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>It was really fun to watch the Dodger offense tonight,

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 2>and everybody that was here for the one piece you

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 2>got treated to a great offensive game by the Dodgers.

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Fifty four thousand and eighty one in the house tonight

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to watch the Dodgers come from behind to beat the

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Padres twelve to seven, eight six, seven, two, five seventy

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number. So the Padres are reeling. They've

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>lost six games in a row, which started with the

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beating them the final two games of the series

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.679
<v Speaker 2>at Petco Park. So all in all, the last three

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 2>times the Dodgers and Padres have played, the Dodgers have won,

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>of course, but they have outscored San Diego thirty one

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 2>to twelve. A very sad Diego these days. Let's go

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>out to George in La. You're on Dodger Talk with

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>David vasse Hi. George, Hey, Dave, how's it going. Can't

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:17.119
<v Speaker 2>be bad these days?

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 4>George, Hey, I just want to mention a few players

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 4>that I think are just come in at the right spot.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Dalton Rushing, Edgardo Henriquez, and Tommy Edmond. I mean, wow,

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 4>these guys just came in at the right time and

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 4>they're peaking. They're playing great. I know Rushing had a

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 4>live incident, but he's maturing.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 5>He's Wow, what a backup catcher.

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 4>Huh.

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, now everybody's singing his praises after a four hit

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>for RBI night. But there's not too many teams that

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 2>could lose a player of Will Smith's caliber and have

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>a guy like Dalton Rushing ready to go. So yeah,

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I would say that's pretty impressive, and that's what separates

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers from other teams. You lose a Will Smith

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 2>on some other team and there's a huge drop off.

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Instead you got Dalton Rushing. And Dalton Rushing had some

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 2>good karma today, late night getting in long nine game

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>road trip, and this morning he was in Chinatown at

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the public library at ten am reading to little kids

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and then shows up at Dodger Stadium and collects four hits,

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>a two run home run and four RBIs so great

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 2>day for Dalton Rushing and a lot of different aspects

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>of his life. Let's go out to Daniel in Ventura.

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>You're on Dodger talk. How you doing, Daniel, I'm doing good, DV.

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 6>How was yourself?

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Bro?

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Feeling great? Man?

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 6>What a great win tonight for them? They really fit

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 6>the script. They showed a lot of fight tonight, the

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 6>offense kept coming. Turned into a twelve seven statement. We

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 6>got good momentum going into the All Star break. Man,

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 6>I just got a shout out Dalton rushing Man. That

0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 6>dude's had his ups and downs, but man, this guy

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 6>can really comes through in big moments.

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 7>Bro.

0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 2>He I mean, he showed a lot tonight, and he

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.560
<v Speaker 2>showed a lot all season long. People put him on

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 2>social media having these emotional outbursts. They showed him and

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Otani not being on the same page last week. And

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 2>he just doesn't quit on himself. He doesn't quit on

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 2>the team and again mentally tough to just keep coming

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>back every day.

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 6>He shows it all on the field.

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's contagious. When you got guys like Freddie Freeman,

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 2>you got Otani, you got Muncie, you got Mookie Betts.

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 2>When you're surrounded by those type of players, you know

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be hard to just quit on yourself or

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>feel sorry for yourself. We saw that in Minnesota, how

0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts put an arm around him, Mark Pryor was

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>talking to him, Freddie Freeman talked to him. So it

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>just feels like that was one of those days that

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 2>he'll look back on five, six, seven years from now

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 2>and think, you know what, that was a huge growing

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>moment for me. And tomorrow Otani is going to pitch,

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.360
<v Speaker 2>he is going to dh and Dalton Rushing is going

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 2>to catch Otani, and in my mind there was never

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 2>a doubt that Rushing wouldn't catch show Heyotani. There's been

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot more communication between those two, especially after what

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>happened last week, and there is no way either one

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 2>of those guys is going to show up the other

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 2>by saying, you know what, I'm not catching you, or

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Otani saying I want Chucky Robinson catching me. And how

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 2>about this. A lot of time players these days, they

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 2>take to their own social media or in Mookie Betts case,

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>he has his own podcast on bleacher Report on Base

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>with Mookie Betts, and in Sacramento, him and Max Munsey

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>talked about what went down in the dugout in the

0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 2>second inning in Minnesota, where Rushing followed O'tani down into

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:57.959
<v Speaker 2>the tunnel.

0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 5>But I want to speak a little bit about this

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 5>situation in Minnesota where Rush and Show.

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Hey, you know, everybody kind of saw it.

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 5>When they go down and we got to go down

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 5>and look at me and you done there.

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 3>We're just being nosy, Hey, wait what y'all doing down there?

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 3>I was really just kind of seeing how this is

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 3>going to play out, what was possibly going to be said.

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.439
<v Speaker 8>I think it's a good growing moment for both guys.

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 8>The Show's not always gonna be able to throw to Will,

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 8>and this is one of those moments where it was like, hey,

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 8>sometimes Show wants to throw a pitch that maybe isn't

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 8>the best pitch to throw. You learn how to deal

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.199
<v Speaker 8>with that, right, the more you've been in those types

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 8>of situations.

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 3>What I really enjoyed was like how Rush later on

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 3>took accountability.

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.080
<v Speaker 1>He knows that he has a lot.

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 2>On his plate.

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 8>You're the catcher for a staff that's first in baseball

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 8>for in a lot of categories, so you know, yeah,

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.719
<v Speaker 8>that's a lot on your plate, and he's done an

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:40.800
<v Speaker 8>amazing job handling it.

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:41.560
<v Speaker 1>He'll just keep learning.

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 8>Not one of us knew how to handle that situation

0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 8>at that nut stage. No how many times were you

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:47.959
<v Speaker 8>peeking around the corner and I was breaking a bat

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 8>down in the tunnel or something.

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I bet those John Boy and all the

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 2>social media bloggers out there won't show that clip complimenting

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing, complimenting how much he does have on his plate,

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>especially since Will Smith hasn't played a game since June fifth.

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>He's had to take all of that on his plate

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and navigate it on a team that's looking to three peats.

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 2>So look, I think John Boy's good for the game,

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>but I feel like the cameras are kind of like

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 2>when Blake Snail's gaming, they always clip something from his

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 2>gaming sessions. Things don't go Rushing's way. Yes, he's an

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 2>emotional rollercoaster at times, and it's good TV, but I

0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>think what's lost in all of that is the fact

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 2>that he has a big heart, he cares, and he's

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 2>a great guy, and for him to be portrayed in

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 2>any other way is completely misleading. Eight six six seven

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 2>to Culver City. Bruce, You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Bruce?

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Doing well?

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>David?

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 5>Thank you for taking my call. And I want to

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 5>talk about Kyle Tucker for a moment, but before I

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 5>do that, since you're talking about Dalton Rushing, I noticed

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 5>that he was the lead out on a double play

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 5>ball and unlike a previous instance, he just hit the

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 5>dirt ten feet shy of second base. So he is

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 5>learning in lots of different ways. And I have mad

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 5>respect to the dude for doing all that.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this is going to make Kyle feel good.

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Getting four hits, four RBIs he's going to feel good

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>about himself when he comes to the ballpark tomorrow as.

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:44.079
<v Speaker 5>Well he should. But so Shoald Kyle Tucker. I mean,

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 5>all of us have been.

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it hasn't been pretty proof. Kyle would be the

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>first one to admit that. But now it's starting to

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>turn the corner.

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, was a nine straight advance on bass four

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 5>for four tonight with a walk. You know, it's we're

0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 5>we're on him when he he had that horrible strikeout

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 5>to end the game a couple of weeks ago. But

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 5>when he has his like tonight, I think we need

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 5>to say, Okay, maybe this is a good sign that

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 5>he is going to turn the corner. You know, you've

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 5>been telling us to wait for after the All Star break,

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 5>and I'm really hopeful that Gil turning around and start

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.080
<v Speaker 5>earning that contract in a big way.

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 2>All Right, Bruce, thank you for the phone call. Like

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I said, forget about the contract. The contract doesn't match

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>who he's been in his career. He's not a three

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 2>point fifty hitter with thirty five forty home runs. That's

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>not him. He is who he is, and that's who

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers want him to be. They want him to

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>be the Kyle Tucker that they have seen his entire career.

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Two seventy hitter, takes a lot of walks, erks, pitches

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 2>in at bats and you know we'll hit twenty five

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 2>to thirty home runs and drive in ninety to one

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 2>hundred runs. They're not looking for anything more than that.

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 2>And in his last twenty eight plate appearances, Tucker sitting

0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>four to seventy six with a no ps of twelve

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>seventy four. You'll hear from Kyle Tucker what he said

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 2>moments after the final out tonight. Also, Jose Moto will

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>check in as we continue on Dodger Talk Live from

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium after the Dodgers come from

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 2>behind six nothing, down before the seats were warm, before

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 2>you could even look at that one piece card, before

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you could even put on that one piece hacked Rokie

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 2>had the Dodgers down six nothing, and they roar back

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>with a twelve to seven come from behind victory over

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 2>the Padres on a five to seventy LA Sports.

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:56.360

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Basseying.

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>First time in two years a Dodgers starter has given

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>up six or more runs in the first two innings

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 2>of a game. The fly ball the deep left center field,

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>heading on back to the wall and with com a

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 2>two run home run for Dalton Rushing. So his hot

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 2>hit ain't continued. The Dodgers are on the board six

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>to two, San Diego. Oh, they're gonna chip away. And

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 2>that's exactly what they have done now. Dodgers trying not

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>too big too early. They just took what was given

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to them after they were down early six to nothing.

0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Rushing started the comeback with that two run home

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>run in the bottom of the second inning. The Dodgers

0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 2>would go on to score two more in the third,

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 2>four and the fourth, two more in the fifth, one

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>in the sixth, and the eighth to beat the Padres

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 2>tonight night twelve to seven. The Dodgers, for the sixth

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:08.160
<v Speaker 2>time this year, collected seventeen hits. That's a season high,

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 2>and they had seventeen against the Padres last Saturday night,

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.360
<v Speaker 2>when they scored fifteen runs against them. And on Monday

<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the Horn with Jose Mota.

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Luis Cochito Cruz. Jose, what stood out to you the

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>most about the Dodgers coming from behind after being down

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:50.919
<v Speaker 2>early six to nothing.

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 7>The back quality was number one. To meet David and

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 7>then with so much game left and a Powers team

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 7>that has not been hitting, they score six runs and

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 7>they figure, well, here we go. I think we have something.

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 7>But it was just way too already talking about it

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 7>during the broadcast. This team, even though they're a little

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.280
<v Speaker 7>quiet last night, this team knows that there's opportunities. Rondy

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 7>Voskuiz knows there's gonna be a huge challenge for him

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 7>if he feels his own. He's a topic guy that

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 7>if he feels his own he's gonna be in trouble,

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 7>and he's hoping to get some chases. This team just

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.400
<v Speaker 7>does not go out and chase. And the best thing

0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 7>about it was obviously the contributions from the bottom of

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 7>the odor, but the Dodgers put the ball on Employe today.

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 7>They did not go out there and try to do

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.960
<v Speaker 7>it all in one swing. It was one home run left,

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 7>you know, hit today and just stick quality of it. Bats,

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.560
<v Speaker 7>working counts and allowing themselves to pass the bouton as

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 7>you mentioned, but also Dave working counts to their favor

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.880
<v Speaker 7>and not over swinging. There's a big part of your

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 7>thinking when there's a lot of game left, when you

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 7>just tell yourself just play baseball. There's way too many

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 7>opportunities in front of us, and they know the Powders

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.320
<v Speaker 7>are scuffling. There's always that ounce of doubt is there's

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 7>going to be enough, and obviously it was not. They

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 7>put together the best at bats, everybody contributed, and here

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 7>we are.

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 2>I know we focus on the Dodgers on this show, Jose,

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 2>but considering what the Padres have been through in the

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 2>last twenty four hours, getting beat twenty three to three

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 2>by the Cubs and then getting ahead six to nothing

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.720
<v Speaker 2>and losing this game, do you believe this is rock

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:23.120
<v Speaker 2>bottom for San Diego?

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 7>Is very devirilizing. I mean you have to think about

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 7>you know, as I mentioned, he scored six early against Osaki.

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 7>You have his pitches, Dave, There's no doubt in my mind.

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 7>The Takes told me they had every single on one

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 7>of his pitches. But for the Podres, as you ask me,

0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 7>it's a point where you go, Okay, how much is enough?

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 7>All they want to do really is to keep the

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 7>other team low and runs and give it to the

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.800
<v Speaker 7>bullpen with the lead. They have not allowed themselves to

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.760
<v Speaker 7>do that. If you think about they came into today

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.160
<v Speaker 7>hitting two twenty four of the team the worst collective

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 7>average in baseball twelve of home runs in the National

0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.879
<v Speaker 7>League twenty second on baseball. That's just not going to

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 7>be sustainable. And even though you can win the closed

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 7>ball games, when your starter goes out there and give

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 7>you some innings, he just cannot do it because the

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 7>offense is not there. There's low energy in that ball club.

0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 7>It's quite easy to see. And then as things keep

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 7>mounting up as a team, you keep saying, when is

0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:19.479
<v Speaker 7>this going to end? What is it going to take?

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 7>But I think they let off a little bit because

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 7>again as a bullpen, they could have done a better job,

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.360
<v Speaker 7>and just almost seemed like it was enough, like that's

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.960
<v Speaker 7>all we're going to score here today, and they got

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:32.720
<v Speaker 7>their their gray down, they're thinking down. Before you know it,

0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 7>here comes a big blue and you know rolling over all.

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, Jose Mody, you mentioned Roki Sasaki. Okay, the Padres

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.680
<v Speaker 2>had his pitches tonight, But how do you explain the

0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 2>last four starts where he's given up nineteen or in runs.

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Has he been tipping in the last four starts as well?

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.640
<v Speaker 7>I don't think the other teams have had it. I mean,

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.159
<v Speaker 7>you can be tipping and the other team may not

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 7>see it as clearly as a potter is do They

0:20:57.240 --> 0:20:59.199
<v Speaker 7>had it in San Diego too. They know exactly what

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 7>they're looking for, and his misses were so closed or

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 7>frustrated him, but their taste told you everything, and the

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.679
<v Speaker 7>other one's stay confidence. There's no conviction, there's no determination

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 7>to say this is my plan. I have to go

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 7>out there and react to what I'm seeing in the

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:18.000
<v Speaker 7>batter's box, not gold with that card or whatever report

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 7>was in front of you. Every single game is a

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 7>different game. You cannot base it on collective or cumulative information,

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:28.160
<v Speaker 7>especially with a guy like him when he fills his own.

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 7>In fact, when they may contact against some early incounts,

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 7>it's not like the averages are hite high. But then

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 7>the walks become an issue when he's chasing strikeouts. So

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.920
<v Speaker 7>the combination of the potters him not be able to

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 7>hide those pitches and then not throw them with confidence

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 7>and walking people has become the biggest thing for him.

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.640
<v Speaker 7>If you put the angels in front of him, it's

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 7>like a different story, like, Okay, they have trial, they

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:52.800
<v Speaker 7>have adel and whatever, and it's like he almost said,

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to get these guys. We want to see

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.199
<v Speaker 7>this every single time out. Rooki needs to identify with

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 7>who he is, the stuff that he has that particular day,

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 7>and just be able to be determined to fill the

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 7>zone and get after people no matter what. And you

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 7>have to pitch inside. Last time in San Diego, he

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 7>starts off with a fastball that on Tote Taties wants

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 7>no part of anything. The rest of the game. It's

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 7>just a different story because the command has been lacking,

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 7>so he doesn't trust that fastball inside. But beyond that,

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.159
<v Speaker 7>he's got to go out there and be determined to

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 7>be one tope of pitcher that can go out there

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 7>and hold his put spot on the rotation, throw strikes

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 7>and put hitters away. Not necessarily would the strike out Dave.

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.399
<v Speaker 2>The Padres had a golden opportunity to win the first

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:41.000
<v Speaker 2>game of this four game series. Instead, they lose their

0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 2>sixth straight game after the Dodgers come from behind to

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.159
<v Speaker 2>beat them twelve to seven on a night that Roki

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:51.400
<v Speaker 2>Sasaki gave up six runs in three innings. Oh, by

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the way, tomorrow show, Hey, Otani's on the mound for

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.199
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing's going to catch him. Do you

0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 2>believe that Otani calls his his own pitches from the

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 2>very beginning of the game.

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I believe so.

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 7>But I tell you what, I've talked to both guys

0:23:07.560 --> 0:23:12.120
<v Speaker 7>bafter that happened, David. I mean, obviously cameras caught it.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.520
<v Speaker 7>This is happening for a long time. It happens, We've

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:16.439
<v Speaker 7>going to show hell Tony he got a little bit bigger.

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 7>But it was almost a point of saying, Okay, I

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 7>respect you, you respect me. Let's go out there and

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.679
<v Speaker 7>get it together. You haven't seen anything that tells you

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 7>they're not on the same page. In fact, I believe

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 7>showhy is probably gonna give them the benefits down and say,

0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:29.960
<v Speaker 7>you know what you call a pitch that go on

0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 7>that plan until I see something. But show Hayes always

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 7>has the authority every picture does to say that might

0:23:36.520 --> 0:23:38.479
<v Speaker 7>be the plan. But what I'm seeing right now is

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 7>not how they're reacting to my pitches. Let's change it.

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:45.000
<v Speaker 7>But I would not hesitate to see or doubt that

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 7>I can see rushing calling pitches because the plan has

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:52.119
<v Speaker 7>been you know, clearly explained in detail. But if something

0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 7>goes wrong or show he wants to challenge a pitch,

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:56.080
<v Speaker 7>he's gonna go out there and do it. So you know,

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 7>they're on the same page. These things do happen around

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 7>baseball many, many times, and I'm glad that there's been

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:03.360
<v Speaker 7>no Anemo city whatsoever. Knowing that you've got to be professionals,

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 7>move on and play the game right because you're playing

0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:07.040
<v Speaker 7>for a team, not for yourselves.

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, we'll see how it goes tomorrow night.

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.919
<v Speaker 2>O'tani on the man with two extra days rest and

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:15.959
<v Speaker 2>the Padres are reeling. We'll see you out here tomorrow

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 2>at the ballpark.

0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.360
<v Speaker 7>Okay, that'll be who to see your face again.

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, there, he goes, Jose Moda. I spoke to

0:24:23.359 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 2>show hel Tani and Dalton Rushing. Wow. Anyway, these two

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 2>guys are definitely on the same page. There'll be a

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 2>clear line of communication. And I can guarantee you if

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Otani wants to challenge a pitch, Dalton Rushing is not

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 2>going to shake him not to do it. I can

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.880
<v Speaker 2>guarantee that part. Hey, before we say goodnight, Kyle Tucker,

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:48.800
<v Speaker 2>another phenomenal night. Reaches base five times tonight, four hits

0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>a walk coming off a four walk night last night.

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Here's what he said to us after the game and

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 2>about the Dodgers come from behind victory tonight.

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean, we feel like we're never out of

0:24:59.920 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 9>it game, no matter if we're up or down whatever amount,

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 9>we always feel like we're in it and we're and

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:07.760
<v Speaker 9>we're always gonna end up scoring runs. We just got

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 9>to continue putting together really good at bats back to

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 9>back and keep the line moving.

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 2>So we were able to do a really good job.

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.919
<v Speaker 9>But I had that every single ending tonight, so we

0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:15.680
<v Speaker 9>just had to chip away and keep it going from there.

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 2>How do you guys fight the temptation of just trying

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.960
<v Speaker 2>to take big swings and do it yourselves. I mean,

0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you just kind of do your part.

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:25.920
<v Speaker 9>Go up there, have a really good at bat, trying

0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 9>you know, if he throws over the play, try and

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 9>barrel it up, and you know, get the guy over

0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 9>and get him in. We did a really good job

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 9>at that tonight, so just gonna do your job, kinda

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:36.880
<v Speaker 9>move on to the next sack, get the line moving.

0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:40.080
<v Speaker 2>You had four hits tonight, but last night you walked

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 2>four times. Was that a better indicator that you're seeing

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the ball better? Yeah?

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 9>I mean the last couple of games felt felt good,

0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 9>you know, tracking the balling with my swing and everything.

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 9>So I was able to put the barrel on the

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 9>ball a few times last series, and kind of trying

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.720
<v Speaker 9>and just keep that momentum going into the next game

0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 9>and so on and so forth. So go, pretty good run.

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:25:57.440 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Word on the street is the connection with David Say

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>has turned your season around? Is that true? Possibly? Well,

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 2>TV day, we'll see, thanks for stopping. What a nice

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 2>win tonight. Congrats, Thank you appreciate it. TBD. Indeed, that's

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 2>what everybody tells me. TBD, Dave, TBD. We'll see if

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I still like you tomorrow. Anyway, Tomorrow should be a

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 2>fun day at Dodger Stadium. The third of July show.

0:26:20.480 --> 0:26:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Hey Otani will be on the mound. He's eight and

0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 2>two this season with an ERA of one fifty eight,

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 2>going up against Michael King, who is five and seven

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.879
<v Speaker 2>with an ERA at three fifty five. Our coverage begins

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:35.360
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow at six o'clock, first pitch at seven to ten

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 2>with Rick Monday and Steven Nelson. Game two of this

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 2>four game series, Game two of this ten game homestand

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.879
<v Speaker 2>as the Dodgers head into the All Star breaks. So

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 2>we hope to see you out here between now and

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 2>next Sunday. Like I mentioned, Kyle Tucker starting to heat up.

0:26:52.320 --> 0:26:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Four walks last night, four hits tonight on base five times.

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 2>He's hitting four to seventy six is on base percentage

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.800
<v Speaker 2>of six. All of that adds up to a twelve

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 2>seventy four ops. So we'll look to see him continue

0:27:06.520 --> 0:27:09.359
<v Speaker 2>that tomorrow night and build upon that as he heads

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 2>into the All Star break. Thanks to Coline back at

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 2>our Burbank Studios. Thanks to Dwayne McDonald, who is being

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.920
