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.
Speaker 2: Here we go again. We're going to running back.
Speaker 3: To get him on the show called eight six six
Speaker 3: nine eighty seven two five seventy and be sure to
Speaker 3: follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Here's your host, David Vase, last.
Speaker 2: Day, Welcome the Dodger Talk. David Vasay with you until
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour after the Dodgers return home
Speaker 2: with a twelve to seven come from behind victory. We
Speaker 2: have phone lines open at eight six six nine eight
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy for all of you out there
Speaker 2: in the parking lot are driving home after the Drone show.
Speaker 2: A sellout crowd came for the Drone Show. They came
Speaker 2: for the one piece cards, and they came for the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: who put on a show and reminded everybody why they
Speaker 2: are the best team in Major League Baseball and the
Speaker 2: defending back to back World champions. With their fifty seventh
Speaker 2: win of the year, they're fifty seven and thirty one,
Speaker 2: now thirteen games ahead of the Padres, who are five
Speaker 2: hundred and reeling after losing six in a row now,
Speaker 2: which started last Saturday night when they gave up fifteen
Speaker 2: runs to the Dodgers. The San Diego Padres now have
Speaker 2: allowed sixty five runs over these last six games. According
Speaker 2: to Dennis Lynn of The Athletic, it's the worst six
Speaker 2: games span in franchise history, surpassing the sixty one runs
Speaker 2: they allowed back in twenty sixteen from May to June second,
Speaker 2: May twenty eighth to June second, twenty sixteen. And look,
Speaker 2: the Padres are starting to get some offerens from Machado
Speaker 2: and Tata, but their pitching is extremely thin, as we
Speaker 2: saw tonight as the Dodgers took it to Randy Vasquez
Speaker 2: again as they got to him for four runs after
Speaker 2: he was spotted six nothing after he was spotted a
Speaker 2: six nothing lead thanks to Roki Sasaki not being very
Speaker 2: effective tonight either, And let's just get this out of
Speaker 2: the way so we could celebrate the Dodgers coming from
Speaker 2: behind after being down six nothing. Roki Sasaki in his
Speaker 2: last four starts, he's only thrown seventeen innings He's only
Speaker 2: lasted seventeen innings combined in his last four starts. He's
Speaker 2: given up nineteen urned runs, he's allowed twenty one hits,
Speaker 2: and he's walked eleven batters. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: he's given up seven home runs. So you could talk
Speaker 2: about tipping all you want. That's more than just tipping pitches.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. And you just hope that he can rediscover
Speaker 2: the confidence that he showed during that stint of five
Speaker 2: or six games at the end of May and in June,
Speaker 2: because the Dodgers don't need him to be seven scoreless
Speaker 2: innings the way he pitched against the Angels twice. They
Speaker 2: just need five innings. Do what Emmit Sheen did last Sunday.
Speaker 2: Just go five innings, allow one and run, keep the
Speaker 2: team in the game, don't put them in a hole.
Speaker 2: Don't put your bullpen in a hole. And this goes
Speaker 2: back to the last two nights. Thank goodness for Justin
Speaker 2: Robleski for seven innings and one hundred and ten pitches.
Speaker 2: Thank goodness for Jack Dryer and Charlie Barnes last night,
Speaker 2: especially Barnes saving the bullpen. Robleski and Barnes saved the
Speaker 2: Dodger bullpen the last two nights to be set up
Speaker 2: for this four game series, and the wild card that
Speaker 2: is Roki Sasaki. There's no better way to describe Sasaki.
Speaker 2: He's a wild card. I don't care what you believe
Speaker 2: his ceiling is. You have no idea what's going to
Speaker 2: happen when he takes the mound. And if you say
Speaker 2: you do, you're reading Dylan Hernandez and his fiction. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. All right, let's talk about the Dodger offense.
Speaker 2: You're down six to nothing after the Padres take it
Speaker 2: to Sasak two runs in the first inning on a
Speaker 2: two run home run by Manny Machado, and then Marilynd
Speaker 2: Cronenworth hit home runs in the second inning, So they're
Speaker 2: down six nothing going into the bottom of the second.
Speaker 2: Dalton rushing started to give people belief that they could
Speaker 2: come back. There was a lot of game left, and
Speaker 2: it just shows how the Dodgers are so much more
Speaker 2: mentally tough, not only more than the Padres, but more
Speaker 2: than any the team in baseball. It could have been
Speaker 2: very easy for the Dodgers just to pack it in.
Speaker 2: They got in late after a night game in Sacramento,
Speaker 2: coming off a nine game road trip. They know they're
Speaker 2: playing with house money. They now have a thirteen game
Speaker 2: lead over the Padres. They're running away with the division
Speaker 2: down six to nothing. You get a start like that
Speaker 2: from Sasaki, but it felt like when Roki put a
Speaker 2: zero up in the third inning and the Dodgers hit
Speaker 2: a two run home run thanks to Dalton rushing and
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts didn't allow Sasaki to go back out there.
Speaker 2: I mean the pitch count was high, it was at
Speaker 2: eighty eight pitches, but for him to bring in Will
Speaker 2: Klein and Cline to put up a zero in the fourth,
Speaker 2: that gave the Dodgers even more momentum. When they're able
Speaker 2: to score two more in the third all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: now it's a six to four game, and they got
Speaker 2: Randy Vasquez on the ropes like they had him on
Speaker 2: the ropes last Saturday night. Four runs in the fourth inning,
Speaker 2: Pajz's game time tying two run double as a Sadad
Speaker 2: Taylor couldn't come up with it clean down there, Dino
Speaker 2: Eble was waving home all these guys, Tommy Edman, Dalton
Speaker 2: rushing Max Munsey moving the line, Mookie Betts with the
Speaker 2: go ahead double to score Piez in that four run fourth.
Speaker 2: It was really fun to watch the Dodger offense tonight,
Speaker 2: and everybody that was here for the one piece you
Speaker 2: got treated to a great offensive game by the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Fifty four thousand and eighty one in the house tonight
Speaker 2: to watch the Dodgers come from behind to beat the
Speaker 2: Padres twelve to seven, eight six, seven, two, five seventy
Speaker 2: is the phone number. So the Padres are reeling. They've
Speaker 2: lost six games in a row, which started with the
Speaker 2: Dodgers beating them the final two games of the series
Speaker 2: at Petco Park. So all in all, the last three
Speaker 2: times the Dodgers and Padres have played, the Dodgers have won,
Speaker 2: of course, but they have outscored San Diego thirty one
Speaker 2: to twelve. A very sad Diego these days. Let's go
Speaker 2: out to George in La. You're on Dodger Talk with
Speaker 2: David vasse Hi. George, Hey, Dave, how's it going. Can't
Speaker 2: be bad these days?
Speaker 4: George, Hey, I just want to mention a few players
Speaker 4: that I think are just come in at the right spot.
Speaker 4: Dalton Rushing, Edgardo Henriquez, and Tommy Edmond. I mean, wow,
Speaker 4: these guys just came in at the right time and
Speaker 4: they're peaking. They're playing great. I know Rushing had a
Speaker 4: live incident, but he's maturing.
Speaker 5: He's Wow, what a backup catcher.
Speaker 4: Huh.
Speaker 2: Well, now everybody's singing his praises after a four hit
Speaker 2: for RBI night. But there's not too many teams that
Speaker 2: could lose a player of Will Smith's caliber and have
Speaker 2: a guy like Dalton Rushing ready to go. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I would say that's pretty impressive, and that's what separates
Speaker 2: the Dodgers from other teams. You lose a Will Smith
Speaker 2: on some other team and there's a huge drop off.
Speaker 2: Instead you got Dalton Rushing. And Dalton Rushing had some
Speaker 2: good karma today, late night getting in long nine game
Speaker 2: road trip, and this morning he was in Chinatown at
Speaker 2: the public library at ten am reading to little kids
Speaker 2: and then shows up at Dodger Stadium and collects four hits,
Speaker 2: a two run home run and four RBIs so great
Speaker 2: day for Dalton Rushing and a lot of different aspects
Speaker 2: of his life. Let's go out to Daniel in Ventura.
Speaker 2: You're on Dodger talk. How you doing, Daniel, I'm doing good, DV.
Speaker 6: How was yourself?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 2: Feeling great? Man?
Speaker 6: What a great win tonight for them? They really fit
Speaker 6: the script. They showed a lot of fight tonight, the
Speaker 6: offense kept coming. Turned into a twelve seven statement. We
Speaker 6: got good momentum going into the All Star break. Man,
Speaker 6: I just got a shout out Dalton rushing Man. That
Speaker 6: dude's had his ups and downs, but man, this guy
Speaker 6: can really comes through in big moments.
Speaker 7: Bro.
Speaker 2: He I mean, he showed a lot tonight, and he
Speaker 2: showed a lot all season long. People put him on
Speaker 2: social media having these emotional outbursts. They showed him and
Speaker 2: Otani not being on the same page last week. And
Speaker 2: he just doesn't quit on himself. He doesn't quit on
Speaker 2: the team and again mentally tough to just keep coming
Speaker 2: back every day.
Speaker 6: He shows it all on the field.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's contagious. When you got guys like Freddie Freeman,
Speaker 2: you got Otani, you got Muncie, you got Mookie Betts.
Speaker 2: When you're surrounded by those type of players, you know
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hard to just quit on yourself or
Speaker 2: feel sorry for yourself. We saw that in Minnesota, how
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts put an arm around him, Mark Pryor was
Speaker 2: talking to him, Freddie Freeman talked to him. So it
Speaker 2: just feels like that was one of those days that
Speaker 2: he'll look back on five, six, seven years from now
Speaker 2: and think, you know what, that was a huge growing
Speaker 2: moment for me. And tomorrow Otani is going to pitch,
Speaker 2: he is going to dh and Dalton Rushing is going
Speaker 2: to catch Otani, and in my mind there was never
Speaker 2: a doubt that Rushing wouldn't catch show Heyotani. There's been
Speaker 2: a lot more communication between those two, especially after what
Speaker 2: happened last week, and there is no way either one
Speaker 2: of those guys is going to show up the other
Speaker 2: by saying, you know what, I'm not catching you, or
Speaker 2: Otani saying I want Chucky Robinson catching me. And how
Speaker 2: about this. A lot of time players these days, they
Speaker 2: take to their own social media or in Mookie Betts case,
Speaker 2: he has his own podcast on bleacher Report on Base
Speaker 2: with Mookie Betts, and in Sacramento, him and Max Munsey
Speaker 2: talked about what went down in the dugout in the
Speaker 2: second inning in Minnesota, where Rushing followed O'tani down into
Speaker 2: the tunnel.
Speaker 5: But I want to speak a little bit about this
Speaker 5: situation in Minnesota where Rush and Show.
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, everybody kind of saw it.
Speaker 5: When they go down and we got to go down
Speaker 5: and look at me and you done there.
Speaker 3: We're just being nosy, Hey, wait what y'all doing down there?
Speaker 3: I was really just kind of seeing how this is
Speaker 3: going to play out, what was possibly going to be said.
Speaker 8: I think it's a good growing moment for both guys.
Speaker 8: The Show's not always gonna be able to throw to Will,
Speaker 8: and this is one of those moments where it was like, hey,
Speaker 8: sometimes Show wants to throw a pitch that maybe isn't
Speaker 8: the best pitch to throw. You learn how to deal
Speaker 8: with that, right, the more you've been in those types
Speaker 8: of situations.
Speaker 3: What I really enjoyed was like how Rush later on
Speaker 3: took accountability.
Speaker 1: He knows that he has a lot.
Speaker 2: On his plate.
Speaker 8: You're the catcher for a staff that's first in baseball
Speaker 8: for in a lot of categories, so you know, yeah,
Speaker 8: that's a lot on your plate, and he's done an
Speaker 8: amazing job handling it.
Speaker 1: He'll just keep learning.
Speaker 8: Not one of us knew how to handle that situation
Speaker 8: at that nut stage. No how many times were you
Speaker 8: peeking around the corner and I was breaking a bat
Speaker 8: down in the tunnel or something.
Speaker 2: You know, I bet those John Boy and all the
Speaker 2: social media bloggers out there won't show that clip complimenting
Speaker 2: Dalton Rushing, complimenting how much he does have on his plate,
Speaker 2: especially since Will Smith hasn't played a game since June fifth.
Speaker 2: He's had to take all of that on his plate
Speaker 2: and navigate it on a team that's looking to three peats.
Speaker 2: So look, I think John Boy's good for the game,
Speaker 2: but I feel like the cameras are kind of like
Speaker 2: when Blake Snail's gaming, they always clip something from his
Speaker 2: gaming sessions. Things don't go Rushing's way. Yes, he's an
Speaker 2: emotional rollercoaster at times, and it's good TV, but I
Speaker 2: think what's lost in all of that is the fact
Speaker 2: that he has a big heart, he cares, and he's
Speaker 2: a great guy, and for him to be portrayed in
Speaker 2: any other way is completely misleading. Eight six six seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out
Speaker 2: to Culver City. Bruce, You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Bruce?
Speaker 5: Doing well?
Speaker 2: David?
Speaker 5: Thank you for taking my call. And I want to
Speaker 5: talk about Kyle Tucker for a moment, but before I
Speaker 5: do that, since you're talking about Dalton Rushing, I noticed
Speaker 5: that he was the lead out on a double play
Speaker 5: ball and unlike a previous instance, he just hit the
Speaker 5: dirt ten feet shy of second base. So he is
Speaker 5: learning in lots of different ways. And I have mad
Speaker 5: respect to the dude for doing all that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is going to make Kyle feel good.
Speaker 2: Getting four hits, four RBIs he's going to feel good
Speaker 2: about himself when he comes to the ballpark tomorrow as.
Speaker 5: Well he should. But so Shoald Kyle Tucker. I mean,
Speaker 5: all of us have been.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it hasn't been pretty proof. Kyle would be the
Speaker 2: first one to admit that. But now it's starting to
Speaker 2: turn the corner.
Speaker 5: I mean, was a nine straight advance on bass four
Speaker 5: for four tonight with a walk. You know, it's we're
Speaker 5: we're on him when he he had that horrible strikeout
Speaker 5: to end the game a couple of weeks ago. But
Speaker 5: when he has his like tonight, I think we need
Speaker 5: to say, Okay, maybe this is a good sign that
Speaker 5: he is going to turn the corner. You know, you've
Speaker 5: been telling us to wait for after the All Star break,
Speaker 5: and I'm really hopeful that Gil turning around and start
Speaker 5: earning that contract in a big way.
Speaker 2: All Right, Bruce, thank you for the phone call. Like
Speaker 2: I said, forget about the contract. The contract doesn't match
Speaker 2: who he's been in his career. He's not a three
Speaker 2: point fifty hitter with thirty five forty home runs. That's
Speaker 2: not him. He is who he is, and that's who
Speaker 2: the Dodgers want him to be. They want him to
Speaker 2: be the Kyle Tucker that they have seen his entire career.
Speaker 2: Two seventy hitter, takes a lot of walks, erks, pitches
Speaker 2: in at bats and you know we'll hit twenty five
Speaker 2: to thirty home runs and drive in ninety to one
Speaker 2: hundred runs. They're not looking for anything more than that.
Speaker 2: And in his last twenty eight plate appearances, Tucker sitting
Speaker 2: four to seventy six with a no ps of twelve
Speaker 2: seventy four. You'll hear from Kyle Tucker what he said
Speaker 2: moments after the final out tonight. Also, Jose Moto will
Speaker 2: check in as we continue on Dodger Talk Live from
Speaker 2: Uniclo Field at Dodger Stadium after the Dodgers come from
Speaker 2: behind six nothing, down before the seats were warm, before
Speaker 2: you could even look at that one piece card, before
Speaker 2: you could even put on that one piece hacked Rokie
Speaker 2: had the Dodgers down six nothing, and they roar back
Speaker 2: with a twelve to seven come from behind victory over
Speaker 2: the Padres on a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Seventy.
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk is available on AM five seventy LA sports
Speaker 3: dot com, hand on the iHeartRadio app. Back to more
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk with Dodger insider David Basseying.
Speaker 2: First time in two years a Dodgers starter has given
Speaker 2: up six or more runs in the first two innings
Speaker 2: of a game. The fly ball the deep left center field,
Speaker 2: heading on back to the wall and with com a
Speaker 2: two run home run for Dalton Rushing. So his hot
Speaker 2: hit ain't continued. The Dodgers are on the board six
Speaker 2: to two, San Diego. Oh, they're gonna chip away. And
Speaker 2: that's exactly what they have done now. Dodgers trying not
Speaker 2: too big too early. They just took what was given
Speaker 2: to them after they were down early six to nothing.
Speaker 2: Dalton Rushing started the comeback with that two run home
Speaker 2: run in the bottom of the second inning. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: would go on to score two more in the third,
Speaker 2: four and the fourth, two more in the fifth, one
Speaker 2: in the sixth, and the eighth to beat the Padres
Speaker 2: tonight night twelve to seven. The Dodgers, for the sixth
Speaker 2: time this year, collected seventeen hits. That's a season high,
Speaker 2: and they had seventeen against the Padres last Saturday night,
Speaker 2: when they scored fifteen runs against them. And on Monday
Speaker 2: in Sacramento, Daniels Jewelers presents the home Run Forecast for
Speaker 2: your chance to win a fifty dollars Daniels Jewelers gift
Speaker 2: card visit AM five to seventy. Lasports dot Com used
Speaker 2: the keyword home run and to your name you could win.
Speaker 2: Daniels Jewelers Own the Dream.
Speaker 1: It's time to go around the Horn with Jose Mota.
Speaker 2: Jose Mota part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast with
Speaker 2: Luis Cochito Cruz. Jose, what stood out to you the
Speaker 2: most about the Dodgers coming from behind after being down
Speaker 2: early six to nothing.
Speaker 7: The back quality was number one. To meet David and
Speaker 7: then with so much game left and a Powers team
Speaker 7: that has not been hitting, they score six runs and
Speaker 7: they figure, well, here we go. I think we have something.
Speaker 7: But it was just way too already talking about it
Speaker 7: during the broadcast. This team, even though they're a little
Speaker 7: quiet last night, this team knows that there's opportunities. Rondy
Speaker 7: Voskuiz knows there's gonna be a huge challenge for him
Speaker 7: if he feels his own. He's a topic guy that
Speaker 7: if he feels his own he's gonna be in trouble,
Speaker 7: and he's hoping to get some chases. This team just
Speaker 7: does not go out and chase. And the best thing
Speaker 7: about it was obviously the contributions from the bottom of
Speaker 7: the odor, but the Dodgers put the ball on Employe today.
Speaker 7: They did not go out there and try to do
Speaker 7: it all in one swing. It was one home run left,
Speaker 7: you know, hit today and just stick quality of it. Bats,
Speaker 7: working counts and allowing themselves to pass the bouton as
Speaker 7: you mentioned, but also Dave working counts to their favor
Speaker 7: and not over swinging. There's a big part of your
Speaker 7: thinking when there's a lot of game left, when you
Speaker 7: just tell yourself just play baseball. There's way too many
Speaker 7: opportunities in front of us, and they know the Powders
Speaker 7: are scuffling. There's always that ounce of doubt is there's
Speaker 7: going to be enough, and obviously it was not. They
Speaker 7: put together the best at bats, everybody contributed, and here
Speaker 7: we are.
Speaker 2: I know we focus on the Dodgers on this show, Jose,
Speaker 2: but considering what the Padres have been through in the
Speaker 2: last twenty four hours, getting beat twenty three to three
Speaker 2: by the Cubs and then getting ahead six to nothing
Speaker 2: and losing this game, do you believe this is rock
Speaker 2: bottom for San Diego?
Speaker 7: Is very devirilizing. I mean you have to think about
Speaker 7: you know, as I mentioned, he scored six early against Osaki.
Speaker 7: You have his pitches, Dave, There's no doubt in my mind.
Speaker 7: The Takes told me they had every single on one
Speaker 7: of his pitches. But for the Podres, as you ask me,
Speaker 7: it's a point where you go, Okay, how much is enough?
Speaker 7: All they want to do really is to keep the
Speaker 7: other team low and runs and give it to the
Speaker 7: bullpen with the lead. They have not allowed themselves to
Speaker 7: do that. If you think about they came into today
Speaker 7: hitting two twenty four of the team the worst collective
Speaker 7: average in baseball twelve of home runs in the National
Speaker 7: League twenty second on baseball. That's just not going to
Speaker 7: be sustainable. And even though you can win the closed
Speaker 7: ball games, when your starter goes out there and give
Speaker 7: you some innings, he just cannot do it because the
Speaker 7: offense is not there. There's low energy in that ball club.
Speaker 7: It's quite easy to see. And then as things keep
Speaker 7: mounting up as a team, you keep saying, when is
Speaker 7: this going to end? What is it going to take?
Speaker 7: But I think they let off a little bit because
Speaker 7: again as a bullpen, they could have done a better job,
Speaker 7: and just almost seemed like it was enough, like that's
Speaker 7: all we're going to score here today, and they got
Speaker 7: their their gray down, they're thinking down. Before you know it,
Speaker 7: here comes a big blue and you know rolling over all.
Speaker 2: Right, Jose Mody, you mentioned Roki Sasaki. Okay, the Padres
Speaker 2: had his pitches tonight, But how do you explain the
Speaker 2: last four starts where he's given up nineteen or in runs.
Speaker 2: Has he been tipping in the last four starts as well?
Speaker 7: I don't think the other teams have had it. I mean,
Speaker 7: you can be tipping and the other team may not
Speaker 7: see it as clearly as a potter is do They
Speaker 7: had it in San Diego too. They know exactly what
Speaker 7: they're looking for, and his misses were so closed or
Speaker 7: frustrated him, but their taste told you everything, and the
Speaker 7: other one's stay confidence. There's no conviction, there's no determination
Speaker 7: to say this is my plan. I have to go
Speaker 7: out there and react to what I'm seeing in the
Speaker 7: batter's box, not gold with that card or whatever report
Speaker 7: was in front of you. Every single game is a
Speaker 7: different game. You cannot base it on collective or cumulative information,
Speaker 7: especially with a guy like him when he fills his own.
Speaker 7: In fact, when they may contact against some early incounts,
Speaker 7: it's not like the averages are hite high. But then
Speaker 7: the walks become an issue when he's chasing strikeouts. So
Speaker 7: the combination of the potters him not be able to
Speaker 7: hide those pitches and then not throw them with confidence
Speaker 7: and walking people has become the biggest thing for him.
Speaker 7: If you put the angels in front of him, it's
Speaker 7: like a different story, like, Okay, they have trial, they
Speaker 7: have adel and whatever, and it's like he almost said,
Speaker 7: I'm going to get these guys. We want to see
Speaker 7: this every single time out. Rooki needs to identify with
Speaker 7: who he is, the stuff that he has that particular day,
Speaker 7: and just be able to be determined to fill the
Speaker 7: zone and get after people no matter what. And you
Speaker 7: have to pitch inside. Last time in San Diego, he
Speaker 7: starts off with a fastball that on Tote Taties wants
Speaker 7: no part of anything. The rest of the game. It's
Speaker 7: just a different story because the command has been lacking,
Speaker 7: so he doesn't trust that fastball inside. But beyond that,
Speaker 7: he's got to go out there and be determined to
Speaker 7: be one tope of pitcher that can go out there
Speaker 7: and hold his put spot on the rotation, throw strikes
Speaker 7: and put hitters away. Not necessarily would the strike out Dave.
Speaker 2: The Padres had a golden opportunity to win the first
Speaker 2: game of this four game series. Instead, they lose their
Speaker 2: sixth straight game after the Dodgers come from behind to
Speaker 2: beat them twelve to seven on a night that Roki
Speaker 2: Sasaki gave up six runs in three innings. Oh, by
Speaker 2: the way, tomorrow show, Hey, Otani's on the mound for
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Dalton Rushing's going to catch him. Do you
Speaker 2: believe that Otani calls his his own pitches from the
Speaker 2: very beginning of the game.
Speaker 1: I believe so.
Speaker 7: But I tell you what, I've talked to both guys
Speaker 7: bafter that happened, David. I mean, obviously cameras caught it.
Speaker 7: This is happening for a long time. It happens, We've
Speaker 7: going to show hell Tony he got a little bit bigger.
Speaker 7: But it was almost a point of saying, Okay, I
Speaker 7: respect you, you respect me. Let's go out there and
Speaker 7: get it together. You haven't seen anything that tells you
Speaker 7: they're not on the same page. In fact, I believe
Speaker 7: showhy is probably gonna give them the benefits down and say,
Speaker 7: you know what you call a pitch that go on
Speaker 7: that plan until I see something. But show Hayes always
Speaker 7: has the authority every picture does to say that might
Speaker 7: be the plan. But what I'm seeing right now is
Speaker 7: not how they're reacting to my pitches. Let's change it.
Speaker 7: But I would not hesitate to see or doubt that
Speaker 7: I can see rushing calling pitches because the plan has
Speaker 7: been you know, clearly explained in detail. But if something
Speaker 7: goes wrong or show he wants to challenge a pitch,
Speaker 7: he's gonna go out there and do it. So you know,
Speaker 7: they're on the same page. These things do happen around
Speaker 7: baseball many, many times, and I'm glad that there's been
Speaker 7: no Anemo city whatsoever. Knowing that you've got to be professionals,
Speaker 7: move on and play the game right because you're playing
Speaker 7: for a team, not for yourselves.
Speaker 2: All right, Jose, we'll see how it goes tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: O'tani on the man with two extra days rest and
Speaker 2: the Padres are reeling. We'll see you out here tomorrow
Speaker 2: at the ballpark.
Speaker 7: Okay, that'll be who to see your face again.
Speaker 2: All right, there, he goes, Jose Moda. I spoke to
Speaker 2: show hel Tani and Dalton Rushing. Wow. Anyway, these two
Speaker 2: guys are definitely on the same page. There'll be a
Speaker 2: clear line of communication. And I can guarantee you if
Speaker 2: Otani wants to challenge a pitch, Dalton Rushing is not
Speaker 2: going to shake him not to do it. I can
Speaker 2: guarantee that part. Hey, before we say goodnight, Kyle Tucker,
Speaker 2: another phenomenal night. Reaches base five times tonight, four hits
Speaker 2: a walk coming off a four walk night last night.
Speaker 2: Here's what he said to us after the game and
Speaker 2: about the Dodgers come from behind victory tonight.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, we feel like we're never out of
Speaker 9: it game, no matter if we're up or down whatever amount,
Speaker 9: we always feel like we're in it and we're and
Speaker 9: we're always gonna end up scoring runs. We just got
Speaker 9: to continue putting together really good at bats back to
Speaker 9: back and keep the line moving.
Speaker 2: So we were able to do a really good job.
Speaker 9: But I had that every single ending tonight, so we
Speaker 9: just had to chip away and keep it going from there.
Speaker 2: How do you guys fight the temptation of just trying
Speaker 2: to take big swings and do it yourselves. I mean,
Speaker 2: you just kind of do your part.
Speaker 9: Go up there, have a really good at bat, trying
Speaker 9: you know, if he throws over the play, try and
Speaker 9: barrel it up, and you know, get the guy over
Speaker 9: and get him in. We did a really good job
Speaker 9: at that tonight, so just gonna do your job, kinda
Speaker 9: move on to the next sack, get the line moving.
Speaker 2: You had four hits tonight, but last night you walked
Speaker 2: four times. Was that a better indicator that you're seeing
Speaker 2: the ball better? Yeah?
Speaker 9: I mean the last couple of games felt felt good,
Speaker 9: you know, tracking the balling with my swing and everything.
Speaker 9: So I was able to put the barrel on the
Speaker 9: ball a few times last series, and kind of trying
Speaker 9: and just keep that momentum going into the next game
Speaker 9: and so on and so forth. So go, pretty good run.
Speaker 3: Now.
