Speaker 1: The quest for the three feat has begun.

Speaker 2: Red Sox win the first of three games this weekend,
Speaker 2: nine to four the final score. Brian Bao starred the
Speaker 2: Netflix Red Sox documentary Now a Relief Pitcher gets the win.
Speaker 2: Cole Irvin the losing pitcher. A valiant effort from Cole Irvin,
Speaker 2: who went six innings tonight through one hundred and two pitches,
Speaker 2: but gave up five runs in the seventh inning and
Speaker 2: that was the difference in the game. I mean, what
Speaker 2: what's going on here? Mister Nesson rich Hill is calling me.

Speaker 2: I'm glad I could share share people. Rich Hill over
Speaker 2: the speaker phone on my cell phone.
Speaker 1: All right, Michie Dave, all right, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll talk tomorrow. There he goes rich Hill, who
Speaker 2: was in studio tonight back in Boston for Nesson. All right,
Speaker 2: there you go, and Nomar went into the broadcast booth
Speaker 2: for Nesson tonight. He obviously was working the game for
Speaker 2: sports Net LA. All Right, sorry, see this is my life.
Speaker 2: Richill just calls me out of the blue while I'm
Speaker 2: doing the radio show. So I love rich Hill, and
Speaker 2: he is part of my top five extended to top six.
Speaker 2: Andrew Friedman trades at the trade deadline. We'll get to
Speaker 2: that a little bit later in the show. But I
Speaker 2: know there's questions about why the Dodgers decided to go
Speaker 2: this route tonight. Obviously this was a spot for sho
Speaker 2: Heyo Tani or Blake Snell or Tyler glassnew but they
Speaker 2: can't pitch right now. So they decided to go with
Speaker 2: the bullpen game, and similar to what they have done
Speaker 2: over the course of the last what fourteen years, they
Speaker 2: know how to manage a regular season, and tonight they
Speaker 2: were trying to manage not only tonight, but managed the
Speaker 2: next couple of days and manage into next week, before
Speaker 2: their day off on Thursday, and before the trade deadline,
Speaker 2: because that may bring more arms into this Dodger pitching staff.
Speaker 2: But let's hear from manager Dave Roberts. He'll explain it
Speaker 2: a little better on how he was limited in his
Speaker 2: options tonight.
Speaker 6: I think that you know, you start and I thought
Speaker 6: Edgardo just wasn't sharp, but found a way to get
Speaker 6: through an inning. And then Klein just kind of, you know,
Speaker 6: since the break just hasn't been good as far as
Speaker 6: the command, and you know, thinking about trying to get
Speaker 6: him through two and you know, just wasn't sharp. And
Speaker 6: then obviously we had two guys available after that, Vesia
Speaker 6: and Phillips, and so at that point in time, you're
Speaker 6: just trying to get as much as you can out
Speaker 6: out of coal and Cole Irvin did a fantastic job.
Speaker 6: He did what he could and you know, you have
Speaker 6: to sometimes take it on the chin to then give
Speaker 6: yourself a chance to win the series. And that's kind
Speaker 6: of what you have to do. Never feels good when
Speaker 6: you're in it, but that's what you have to do.
Speaker 6: And then, uh, you know, catching a lead I thought
Speaker 6: was great. But yeah, I mean I think that you know,
Speaker 6: that five run inning kind of did us in right there.
Speaker 2: When when you play as many games as you do,
Speaker 2: those kinds of things are.
Speaker 6: Going to him they are they are, And like I said, Jim,
Speaker 6: it never feels good in it. But then when you
Speaker 6: look back and you go, okay, we we sort of reset,
Speaker 6: give us a chance to win the game. But you
Speaker 6: just can't chase every single win every single night. It's
Speaker 6: just it's it's it's not responsible, and it it's just
Speaker 6: not the right process.
Speaker 3: Given all that, did that start to feel like a
Speaker 3: game you could win When you.
Speaker 2: Show the home run, it did?
Speaker 6: It did, and certainly given the way that Cole was
Speaker 6: on the baseball right there, But there was a bad
Speaker 6: walk to lead off in the inning, and then you
Speaker 6: know the two run homer and then there was some
Speaker 6: bad luck in there, some bat and ball stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 6: I felt like we had a chance for a minute there, All.
Speaker 2: Right, there's manager Dave Roberts explaining what the situation was tonight.
Speaker 2: As I mentioned during the Clubhouse show, they couldn't use
Speaker 2: Tanner Scott tonight. They couldn't use Edwin Diaz tonight. Both
Speaker 2: those guys had pitched each of the last two nights.
Speaker 2: Alex vessif he pitched tonight, would have been three out
Speaker 2: of four. Jack Dryer, same situation. Brock Stewart on the
Speaker 2: injured list now because of some shoulder issue. That's the
Speaker 2: reason why Cole Irving was brought up. So all of
Speaker 2: those mediating factors led to the way Dave Roberts deployed
Speaker 2: the pitching tonight, starting with Edgardo Enriquez and Will Klein.
Speaker 2: Will Klein has not pitched the way Will Climb pitched
Speaker 2: for the first couple of months of the season. This
Speaker 2: is not just a one time thing. It's been kind
Speaker 2: of a trend where Will Klein hasn't been able to
Speaker 2: as consistent with the strike zone as he was earlier
Speaker 2: in the year, and he could only get four outs.
Speaker 2: If the Dodgers wanted to have a chance to extend
Speaker 2: this game a little bit deeper and maybe deploy Evan Phillips.
Speaker 2: A little bit later. Will Klein would have needed to
Speaker 2: have gotten at least six or seven outs and he
Speaker 2: only got four. Tonight eight six, six, nine, eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to
Speaker 2: the Red Sox nine to four. But hey, it's a
Speaker 2: win for us. Rich Hill called the cell phone. Let's
Speaker 2: go out to Corona. Patrick. You're on Dodger Talk with
Speaker 2: David Vasse.
Speaker 7: Hi Patrick, Hi, guys, Joing, Hello, David.
Speaker 1: Me.
Speaker 7: I'm proud of the Dodgers, and I thought.
Speaker 5: Cole Man my heart goes out to him. But he
Speaker 5: took one for the team.
Speaker 7: He gave it his all, and I mean he knew,
Speaker 7: you know, he knew the situation was and I'm proud
Speaker 7: of him. All.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a local kid that that. It's very grateful to
Speaker 2: have this opportunity. And uh, he took one for the team.
Speaker 2: And we've seen other pictures do that in the past
Speaker 2: as well. Thanks for the phone call, Patrick, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Let's go out to Daniel, who's on the ten Freeway. Hi, Daniel,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk.
Speaker 8: Greeting, greeting, Thanks for the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Hey, you sound like an intimidating person. Right here, Daniel,
Speaker 2: I'll watch myself really laugh right there, sinister laugh.
Speaker 8: Oh my goodness. Never been told that, Never been told that.
Speaker 8: But just uh, I guess I'll just chime in on
Speaker 8: the rich Hill and the great pickups that have been
Speaker 8: made throughout the history of reclamation prodjang, sir, h guys
Speaker 8: did are you know? They think they're pretty much washed up,
Speaker 8: but once they come here, we have at a magical crew.
Speaker 8: They're working behind the scenes, the staff, coaches, and we
Speaker 8: seem to get the best out of these players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not magical. There's a guy about the name
Speaker 2: of Connor McGinnis, the Dodgers pitching coach, who is really good.
Speaker 2: And Eric Lower is the latest example of getting with
Speaker 2: Connor McGuinness and Mark Pryor and taking off from there. Hey,
Speaker 2: before I let you go, Daniel, if you can guess
Speaker 2: what my number one trade deadline acquisition by Andrew Friedman is,
Speaker 2: I will give you a pair of tickets to Sunday
Speaker 2: Night's game. What do you think my number one trade
Speaker 2: for Andrew Freeman at the deadline with the Dodgers is?
Speaker 8: It wouldn't be Rich Hill?
Speaker 6: What it?
Speaker 2: I mean, you're tugging at my heartstrings. But no, it's not.
Speaker 8: Oh, enlighten me, because there's been so many that you
Speaker 8: kind of lose track, you.
Speaker 2: Know, do you do you remember who the Dodgers got
Speaker 2: Richell from Daniel Minnesota now, but he did pitch for them.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the phone call, Daniel, appreciate it. Get
Speaker 2: home safe. Eight sixty six eight seven two five seventy
Speaker 2: is the phone number, David in Pasadena. You're on Dodger
Speaker 2: Talk with David Basse. How you doing, David?
Speaker 9: I'm doing pretty good. Hi, David, how are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing well. I'm great. Now riche'll call me for
Speaker 2: a third time today.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you are the Dodger insider. You have all those contacts.
Speaker 9: It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: I can't shake that guy.
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, I wish I was you sometimes. But listen,
Speaker 9: I've called you a couple of times and you've been
Speaker 9: very kind to me. I'd like to ask you two
Speaker 9: things if I can, regarding the trade deadline, you see
Speaker 9: what I'd like to know what you think about two items.
Speaker 9: So a lot of people call and they talk about
Speaker 9: a catching a trade for a catcher, right, yeah, I
Speaker 9: think you know I love Will Smith. Obviously we America's catcher.
Speaker 9: He won the World Series with a home run. You
Speaker 9: know he's got you know, he's a tremendous catcher, and
Speaker 9: he's got clutch. He is clutch. I like Dalton Rushing
Speaker 9: a lot. I think he's done a tremendous job this season.
Speaker 9: I think I think he's exceeded most people's expectations. I mean,
Speaker 9: he's got he's a major league catcher. He's a great catcher.
Speaker 9: On any other team, he would be the number one catcher,
Speaker 9: I think, without a doubt. But right he's and he
Speaker 9: seems like a good dude. No, I love him. I
Speaker 9: think he stays. And here's the thing is Alfonso. I
Speaker 9: think he's doing great. I mean, he's starting to hit.
Speaker 9: He got it what he got in RBI tonight. He
Speaker 9: got a couple of hits last couple of games. He's
Speaker 9: he looks like he's I mean and and and you know,
Speaker 9: but look what the guy's been through with this family
Speaker 9: in Venezuela, with his sister, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Okay, so what's your point. You wanted to get to
Speaker 2: trade talk? What's your what's your trade proposal?
Speaker 9: We do we do not need another catcher. So my
Speaker 9: position is Smith is coming back at some point, Rushing
Speaker 9: is outstanding where he is, and I think Alfonso is
Speaker 9: showing up to be a great number two catcher, and
Speaker 9: then finally go back to Triple A season up a
Speaker 9: little bit. When Smith comes back, I think we're great
Speaker 9: at catcher.
Speaker 2: That's what have you seen Will Smith lately? Because I
Speaker 2: haven't seen him in I saw him walk by me
Speaker 2: after the game last night. Have you seen him swing
Speaker 2: a bat? Have you seen him catch a pitch yet? David?
Speaker 2: Because I have not.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't be disrespectful to you to say I know
Speaker 9: anything more than you. You would know better than any
Speaker 9: of us.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I haven't seen If you haven't seen it,
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. There's no guarantees. He's missed two
Speaker 2: months with a bad neck. He comes, he's starting to
Speaker 2: ramp up the hitting. My point is, David, the trade
Speaker 2: deadlines Monday, and Will Smith is barely starting to do
Speaker 2: baseball activities. What if he gets to a point or
Speaker 2: even gets into a game and that neck that inflame
Speaker 2: disc inflames again, then where you at in the postseason?
Speaker 2: Dalton Rushing and Alisi or Alfonso. I like Alfonso, but
Speaker 2: I'd rather I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a
Speaker 2: veteran catcher to be part of this catching uh staff, if.
Speaker 9: You will, okay, because you write at any moment, a catcher, sure,
Speaker 9: a starting catcher can get hurt on any.
Speaker 2: If dal got hurt tomorrow, what would you do? What
Speaker 2: would the Dodgers do tomorrow?
Speaker 9: They would have a problem. They'd have to bring up
Speaker 9: whoever is in the next problem to come up.
Speaker 2: And they don't have that. I don't have that guy.
Speaker 2: So that's my point. I understand. I love that you
Speaker 2: gave Rushing and Phonsie a lot of love, and they
Speaker 2: deserve it, Rushing especially, But there's no guarantees Will Smith
Speaker 2: is going to come back number one. Until I see it,
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. Okay. That's where I stand on it,
Speaker 2: and that's why I believe that the Dodgers still should
Speaker 2: go out and get a veteran catcher to be part
Speaker 2: of this roster as insurance, because after Monday at three
Speaker 2: o'clock Pacific time comes and goes, there's no other opportunities
Speaker 2: to get a catcher that can help you in the postseason.
Speaker 9: Okay, Can I ask you a quick pitching question, pitching
Speaker 9: trade question?
Speaker 2: Really quick?
Speaker 9: Eric Eric Lauer to me is blights out. I mean,
Speaker 9: I mean, what more could you ask of the guy
Speaker 9: that Eric Lawer? What he's done?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 9: People have said, well, maybe we should trade Eric Lawer.
Speaker 9: He's trade bait because he's so great. I think he's
Speaker 9: so great, we keep him, and why don't we deal
Speaker 9: them as she hand.
Speaker 1: So great.
Speaker 9: I don't know. Too many pitchers, we got too many,
Speaker 9: but we have too many. We got too many arms, right,
Speaker 9: I mean, there's too many.
Speaker 2: That's what they always say. Until you don't have too
Speaker 2: many arms, David. But look, I understand the Dodgers line
Speaker 2: of thinking, Uh, the Snell is coming back. He probably
Speaker 2: is coming back on the next homestand because he's going
Speaker 2: to make one more rehab start Glass now is in
Speaker 2: the early stages of coming back. You got Robleski, you
Speaker 2: got she In. But if you know they they would
Speaker 2: use Shean as a trade chip. I would imagine to
Speaker 2: get a big fish if that's the case, like a
Speaker 2: school Bowl or possibly even a Clay Holmes. But I
Speaker 2: just don't I'm with you that Lower. I wouldn't be
Speaker 2: opposed to keeping Lower. That I think we agree on that.
Speaker 2: Thank you for the phone call. Eight sixty six nine
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventies the phone number. Dodgers fall
Speaker 2: to the Red Sox tonight nine to four. Look, I
Speaker 2: don't want Eric Lauer to go anywhere. I think there's
Speaker 2: something be said about a team being nine to zero
Speaker 2: when a guy takes the mound. I think there's a
Speaker 2: lot to be said about that. And Lower was a
Speaker 2: valuable piece for the Blue Jays in the World Series
Speaker 2: last year as a long guy coming out of the bullpen.
Speaker 2: He can be that that guy for the Dodgers. And look,
Speaker 2: if I'm the Dodgers, I believe that if they don't
Speaker 2: get what they feel is fair market value as far
Speaker 2: as a prospect to replenish the farm system for Eric Lower,
Speaker 2: they'll hold on to him. There's nobody saying you have
Speaker 2: to get rid of Eric Lawer if you don't trade
Speaker 2: him on Monday. So I know he's hoping to stay.
Speaker 2: I would love to see him stay. Well, just see,
Speaker 2: it just feels like there's a lot of moving parts
Speaker 2: for Andrew Friedman right now. They are checking in on
Speaker 2: everybody from zach Netto to Trek Skoubole to Clay Holmes,
Speaker 2: Luke Weaver, maybe Travis Darnaut, Jonah him. All these guys
Speaker 2: I would imagine are up in the air. And we
Speaker 2: have seen Andrew pull off three team trades at the
Speaker 2: trade deadline before, and two of my top trades that
Speaker 2: he has pulled off were three team trades. My number
Speaker 2: two all time Andrew Friedman deadline trade was the three
Speaker 2: team thirteen player trade he made with the Braves and
Speaker 2: Marlins back in twenty fifteen to acquire Alex Wood and
Speaker 2: Louis Avalon and reliever Jim Johnson and utility guy Jose
Speaker 2: Pirazza for Hector Olivera. Yeah, the Cuban third baseman that
Speaker 2: never was was treated to the Braves and the Dodgers
Speaker 2: got Alex Wood back in that deal, and Louis Avalon
Speaker 2: was a serviceable left handed reliever for a couple of years.
Speaker 2: So that was my number two. If you can guess
Speaker 2: what my number one is, I will give you a
Speaker 2: pair of tickets to Sunday's game between the Dodgers and
Speaker 2: Red Sox. Let's go out to Glendora. Joe, you're on
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk. How you doing, Joe?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great. Dave, how are you outstanding, outstanding, awesome.
Speaker 5: Hey, can I take a while guess at one of
Speaker 5: your favorite trades is that Tommy Edmond.
Speaker 2: It is twenty twenty four trade. Not just Tommy Edmond,
Speaker 2: who would become the NLCSMVP in twenty four, but also
Speaker 2: Michael Kopek who went into the bullpen and was one
Speaker 2: of the dogs to help the Dodgers win the World Series.
Speaker 2: That three way trade with the Cardinals, the White Sox
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers, that was my number one Andrew Friedman
Speaker 2: Dodger deadline deal. Good for you? You know me?
Speaker 5: Well, don't forget about Jack Clarerty too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Blackjack, that's right. That was a separate deal. That
Speaker 2: was a separate deal, but yes, still very important to
Speaker 2: winning the twenty four World Series. But Kopek and Edmund
Speaker 2: and Edmund now being extended and being a big part
Speaker 2: of the team the last three years sealed the deal
Speaker 2: for me. So congratulations. You want a pair of tickets
Speaker 2: to see the back to back world champion Dodgers take
Speaker 2: on the Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball first pitch
Speaker 2: at four twenty and you know where to listen to
Speaker 2: every Dodger game, don't you?
Speaker 9: Absolutely five seventy.
Speaker 2: That's right, and the iHeartRadio app from the gallop in
Speaker 2: Ford broadcast booth. All right, hold on, Joe, We'll get
Speaker 2: your information and we'll see you at the ballpark on Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So there you go. The Kopek Edmund three way trade
Speaker 2: was my number one. The number two was the three
Speaker 2: team trade that brought Alex Wood to LA. My number three,
Speaker 2: You're not gonna like this, but I do. Manny Machado
Speaker 2: being traded in twenty eighteen. Remember those circumstances. Corey Seeger
Speaker 2: in May had Tommy John surgery, had labrum surgery, and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers needed a shortstop. And they pulled off a
Speaker 2: big time trade for Manny Machado in twenty eighteen at
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, and the guy w the guys
Speaker 2: the Dodgers sent to Baltimore got traded tonight. The Orioles
Speaker 2: sent piccher Dean Kramer to the Twins. Dean Kramer was
Speaker 2: one of four minor leaguers sent to Baltimore and the
Speaker 2: only one that panned out. Kind of my number four,
Speaker 2: I'm going with the twenty twenty one trade to get
Speaker 2: Trey Turner and Max Schuzer for Cabert Ruiz and Josiah Gray,
Speaker 2: my number five, Rich Hill, and yeah even Josh Reddick,
Speaker 2: but Rich Hill, Rich Hill from the A's for Grant
Speaker 2: Holmes and Darrell Cotton, and my number six honorable mention
Speaker 2: you Darvish in twenty seventeen. We all know how that ended,
Speaker 2: but still honorable mention. Eight sixty six nine eight seven
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to
Speaker 2: the Red Sox tonight, nine to four, but Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: three more hits tonight, and he has a ten game
Speaker 2: hitting streak, the longest by any Dodger this season. Freddy
Speaker 2: spoke to the media after the game tonight on Sports
Speaker 2: Net LA.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they do all the little things, run
Speaker 10: in the bases, going, taking an extra base button for hits.
Speaker 10: You know, they just played a really good baseball game tonight.
Speaker 2: So credit is that.
Speaker 4: When you look at just this team, I mean it
Speaker 4: seems like you guys had the beginning feeled a little
Speaker 4: uncharacteristic of the Dodgers, and you all battled back and
Speaker 4: obviously a tough loss.
Speaker 1: But how do you just describe out of this game
Speaker 1: as a team for.
Speaker 10: You all, Yeah, I mean full playing games are tough,
Speaker 10: but I thought Colds did a fantastic job of covering
Speaker 10: that many innings. You know, obviously I made the misplayed
Speaker 10: to have them score a couple of runs, but we
Speaker 10: battled back and they just put together a really good
Speaker 10: inning in the seventh thing. So just one of those games.
Speaker 10: But yeah, we got to come back to Borrow and
Speaker 10: hopefully within the next two to win the series.
Speaker 8: As a competitor, how difficult is it to look at
Speaker 8: the big picture.
Speaker 2: On the night like tonight.
Speaker 10: I know, I know it's it is hard, but there's
Speaker 10: a few guys down in our bullpen and it's just
Speaker 10: kind of out in the nature of a piece of
Speaker 10: one hundred six two games schedule was nine games in
Speaker 10: a row. It's kind of how it is. But if
Speaker 10: we had scored more runs, we would have had a
Speaker 10: bestie and all of them coming into the game. So
Speaker 10: Tom husk to score more runs and we just didn't
Speaker 10: do that.
Speaker 2: All right. There's Freddy Freeman on Sports at LA taking
Speaker 2: accountability for the misplay where he got handcuffed on a
Speaker 2: chopper to first base, And I was watching at the
Speaker 2: time the Nests in broadcast with lou Marlone and Dave
Speaker 2: O'Brien and lou Marloney just showed and illustrated that Freddie
Speaker 2: should have trusted his instincts and still come in and
Speaker 2: short hop the ball. Instead, he backed up let the
Speaker 2: ball play him, and that's not something Freddy Freeman usually does.
Speaker 2: I think we all can agree that Freddy Freeman is
Speaker 2: having a really good year. He's now hitting three to
Speaker 2: zero five on the season after going three for four tonite,
Speaker 2: driving in a run. I think a lot of us
Speaker 2: could agree that Jaren Duranta the Red Sox is having
Speaker 2: maybe a top five all time worst season for a
Speaker 2: Red Sox regular outfielder. With two hits tonight, Duran is
Speaker 2: sitting one ninety eight with an ops of five ninety four.
Speaker 2: The reason why I bring that up, You would imagine
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman would have at least twenty more RBIs than
Speaker 2: Jared Duran, wouldn't you. Jared Duran hitting one ninety eight
Speaker 2: has fifty six RBIs, while Freddie Freeman, hitting three oh
Speaker 2: five only has fifty four RBIs. Who would have thought
Speaker 2: that Jared Duran, with two more runs driven in hitting
Speaker 2: one ninety eight more than Freddy Freeman hitting three oh
Speaker 2: five and it's not like Freddy doesn't do well with
Speaker 2: runners in scoring position. Freddy's hitting two ninety with runners
Speaker 2: in scoring position. What this proves is RBIs are a
Speaker 2: product of team baseball, and at times like tonight, you
Speaker 2: kind of feel like the Dodger offense is a little disconnected.
Speaker 2: If you were listening or watching the game tonight, this
Speaker 2: Red Sox lineup, which has won twenty six of their
Speaker 2: last thirty one games, seems very connected. And that could
Speaker 2: be the reason why Freddie Freeman, who hits third every
Speaker 2: night only, has had minimal opportunities I guess to drive
Speaker 2: in runs, and Jaron Duran has driven in two more
Speaker 2: runs than Freddie Freeman, hitting one ninety eight. At the
Speaker 2: bottom of the Dodger or the Red Sox order, eight
Speaker 2: sixty six, nine, eight seven, two, five seventy is the
Speaker 2: phone number. Let's go out to Joe or Joe won
Speaker 2: the tickets, so hold on, Joe. Let's go out to Palmdale. Dennis,
Speaker 2: you're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Dennis?
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm doing great. How are you doing?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Dennis. What's life in Palmdale like these days?
Speaker 2: I don't know, you don't know you live there.
Speaker 5: Don't you very hot?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, if you don't know, who knows? I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't want to go outside. It's too hot.
Speaker 2: I got you. Let's just keep it simple. Let's talk baseball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, let's talk marble heads bobbleheads.
Speaker 2: What do you want to know?
Speaker 7: Well, you know that's a big business, now, okay, And
Speaker 7: I think the Dodgers are grassman at straws. Can you
Speaker 7: know they don't probably give away close to thirty marbleheads
Speaker 7: this year?
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Fans seem to enjoy coming to the games
Speaker 2: to get them, even a Kyle Tucker bobblehead like tonight.
Speaker 7: Yeah. But what I'd like to say, and I hope
Speaker 7: you can get this or whoever is in charge of you're
Speaker 7: getting it to.
Speaker 2: Them right now. I'm so happy I took this phone call.
Speaker 2: It's like a customer service line.
Speaker 7: Good, okay, good. Uh. Here's my uh, here's my suggestion.
Speaker 7: First of all, we need a Rick Monday and Charlie
Speaker 7: Steiner babble head.
Speaker 2: Able ahead, okay, because they did Rick Monday. They did
Speaker 2: make a Rick Monday saving the American flag. Bobble had
Speaker 2: ten years ago on the anniversary of that. So you
Speaker 2: like the broadcasters like they do up in San Francisco
Speaker 2: with like Kype and Kruco. So you want Charlie and Rick. Okay,
Speaker 2: what else do you want?
Speaker 7: What at the bobblehead?
Speaker 2: Do you want?
Speaker 7: Ben Scully and Jerry Doggett.
Speaker 2: There's been a million than Scully bobbleheads.
Speaker 7: I'm seventy four years old. Yeah, but there hasn't been
Speaker 7: a Jerry Doggett.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was a transcendent. I mean
Speaker 2: nothing against Jerry Doggett, but I don't know if he
Speaker 2: resonates with the new generation of Dodger fans. Tennis.
Speaker 7: Well, you're right, you're right, it does for us. Ould guys,
Speaker 7: I'm seventy four years old. So I go back and
Speaker 7: then and then one more.
Speaker 2: You know what my dad used to say about Jerry
Speaker 2: Doggett listening on the radio. My dad used to tell me,
Speaker 2: and so do my my uncles. When they listened to
Speaker 2: Jerry Doggett, they thought every high fly ball to the
Speaker 2: outfield was a home run because it make it sound
Speaker 2: like it was a home run, but it was just
Speaker 2: a shallow fly ball.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that depth perception, maybe that was it.
Speaker 2: Hey, Dennis, I got a run. Thank you for being
Speaker 2: such a great Dodger fan. We love it and that's
Speaker 2: what makes the Dodgers special. Fans like you that have
Speaker 2: been well for so long, and thank you for calling
Speaker 2: in appreciate it. Eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers fall to the
Speaker 2: Red Sox tonight nine to four. We're going to take
Speaker 2: a time out. When we come back, Jose Moto will
Speaker 2: join us. We'll get his thoughts on tonight's game and
Speaker 2: how the Dodgers managed it and trying to win the series.
Speaker 2: They have not lost a series since the All Star Game.
Speaker 2: They won all three on their nine game road trip.
Speaker 2: They beat the Mariners coming home and now looking to
Speaker 2: win the next two to win the homestand as they
Speaker 2: head back out on the road Monday to Chicago and
Speaker 2: then Arizona. The Boston Red Sox beat the Dodgers tonight
Speaker 2: nine to four on a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 10: Hi, it's sho held Donny.
Speaker 5: This is Dodges Talk Am five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 10: You're home of the Dodges and.
Speaker 2: Now the two to one fly halt. Talk about going
Speaker 2: a long way it is on the way and gone
Speaker 2: a two run home run.
Speaker 7: Show hal Tonny twenty fourth of the year, and the
Speaker 7: Dodgers have taken the league.
Speaker 2: That was really show hal Tani. That was really show
Speaker 2: hal Tany going deep tonight after getting the night off
Speaker 2: last night, o'tanni comes back strong at that point. He
Speaker 2: put the Dodgers ahead in the fifth inning. Unfortunately, they
Speaker 2: fall nine to four to the Boston Red Sox in
Speaker 2: Game one of this three game series. Daniel Stelers presents
Speaker 2: the home run forecast for your chair. To win a
Speaker 2: fifty dollars Daniel Steweler's gift card, visit a five seventy
Speaker 2: LA sports dot Com. Use the keyword home run and
Speaker 2: to your name you could win. Daniel Steelers own the dream.
Speaker 1: It's tough to go around the horn with Hose Dane Mota.
Speaker 2: All right, Jose Mota. Dave Roberts explain what he was
Speaker 2: limited to tonight. Maybe Alex Vesia could have pitched, but
Speaker 2: it felt like this game hinged to Will Klein going
Speaker 2: a little bit deeper in the game.
Speaker 11: It was all based on Will Klin and now Will
Speaker 11: clin to me as a concern because Dave, he's gotten
Speaker 11: away from really what made him so good last season,
Speaker 11: which was going out there and commanding of fastball. You know,
Speaker 11: his confidence in the fastball is not there. He's missing
Speaker 11: in spots where he should miss. And if you look
Speaker 11: at the numbers and say, well, the sweeper has not
Speaker 11: gotten hit, or the slugging is low against the sweeper
Speaker 11: and a breaking ball and all that stuff, it doesn't
Speaker 11: matter when it comes down to a pitch sequence where
Speaker 11: you're getting hurt by a page that you should be
Speaker 11: dominat with a little bit more, which is his fastball
Speaker 11: in ninety seven ninety eight. You know, it reminds me
Speaker 11: a little bit of when Walker Buehler started experimenting in
Speaker 11: love with the cutter and he lost the feel for
Speaker 11: the fastball. It's not so much about losing velocity. Just
Speaker 11: to get a feel for a ball, we need to
Speaker 11: execute it because we know Will Climb is a big
Speaker 11: part of this whole thing. And Will kleinb going to
Speaker 11: today might have been a difference, who knows, but it's
Speaker 11: been concerned in the last few few addings for him,
Speaker 11: and even in his face and expressions, execution fallen behind
Speaker 11: and people not fearing that ninety seven ninety eight because
Speaker 11: they know they're going to see a lot of spin.
Speaker 11: And when he does spin and you don't chase, the
Speaker 11: fastball is going to get hit. But he's got it.
Speaker 11: Throw more fastballs to me.
Speaker 2: What did you think about Cole Irvin? Obviously that seventh
Speaker 2: inning went sideways, but you know, it looked like he
Speaker 2: could hold his own at this level.
Speaker 11: He can. This guy is a great story. I think
Speaker 11: we all know the Talians with you know, Anaheim and
Speaker 11: Sir Biden speak about tonight. It's one of those games
Speaker 11: you know very well, Dave through the years, Dave Roberts
Speaker 11: has the best job managing it. If you look at
Speaker 11: Dave Roberts and the gesture he did with them, the
Speaker 11: exchange with Irvin leaving the mounds like you know what,
Speaker 11: thanks again for taking one for the team, which has
Speaker 11: happened many times in the last few years, including the
Speaker 11: World Series, including the playoffs and all that stuff, just
Speaker 11: to allow the series to line up properly for the bullpen.
Speaker 11: But Cole urban, you know, adding to his story, consider
Speaker 11: that this guy was working summers at the Angel Stadium
Speaker 11: on the mound with Barney the ground screw guy, and
Speaker 11: he says, well, I got to learn about, you know,
Speaker 11: bullpen slopes and mounds and landing spots by working on
Speaker 11: the ground and me being a better picture. But I
Speaker 11: understanding more about you know, the mounds and stuff like that.
Speaker 11: But overall, to hear the interview today, Dave, I think
Speaker 11: it was magnificent to hear that the emotion, knowing that
Speaker 11: I know the guys in Okie City even told me,
Speaker 11: the guys that I talked to today that they wanted
Speaker 11: this guy to be in the big leagues. And it's
Speaker 11: so good to see him in the big leagues now.
Speaker 11: He knew, and Dave Roberts indicated this early with the press.
Speaker 11: He's gonna throw a hundred pitches. SE's mate, you know,
Speaker 11: twenty stars down there. He's throwing a lot of innings.
Speaker 11: He's not allowed a lot of home runs in Triple A,
Speaker 11: by the way. But he's a great story, a guy
Speaker 11: that perhaps will remember a little bit later to say,
Speaker 11: remember that game, Remember Charlie Barnes at Urban to that,
Speaker 11: because they did a good job in aligning guys later
Speaker 11: on for that bullpen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. These are the type of games where
Speaker 2: obviously they have a job to do and they go
Speaker 2: out and do it for the big picture, and the
Speaker 2: big picture is Yamamoto tonight against the Red Sox, who
Speaker 2: are red hot these days. Jose, we saw a very
Speaker 2: connected lineup tonight. How does Yama Moto try to dissect
Speaker 2: this Red Sox offense tomorrow?
Speaker 11: Go out there and find out that these guys are
Speaker 11: very spotty and very athletic, the spotty in the way
Speaker 11: that they are. Go out there and work account and
Speaker 11: then before you know it, they were attucking you and
Speaker 11: hunting you and just chasing you all around. For Yoshi,
Speaker 11: the key is he needs to be Yoshi. He needs
Speaker 11: to go go out there and be mister Samurai, which
Speaker 11: is getting strike one, getting some swings and misses, getting
Speaker 11: people to chase, and if they don't, don't fall in
Speaker 11: love with being too tricky or too fine, because that's
Speaker 11: what gets them to a little of trouble with the
Speaker 11: watchum signs. But know that they're aware of how they
Speaker 11: would play the game. They bunch, they put the ball
Speaker 11: in play, they got the infield hits, and then they
Speaker 11: chase something to hurt you with. But for Yoshi, it's
Speaker 11: a matter of going out there understanding what they're they
Speaker 11: gonn His writ is today because they do have a
Speaker 11: hole and some neutral sites in their hating zone where
Speaker 11: he can get to because he has way more better
Speaker 11: stuff than anybody they saw on the mount today from
Speaker 11: the right handed side, do you feel.
Speaker 2: Like the Dodger lineup? Obviously, they're at the top of
Speaker 2: every team offensive category. They have a lot of talent, obviously,
Speaker 2: But do you feel like on nights like tonight sometimes
Speaker 2: the lineup is a little disconnected and really not gelling
Speaker 2: as one unit. It looks that.
Speaker 11: Way, Dave. You know what happens is I mean, where's
Speaker 11: the team at bat? It can't all be about slug
Speaker 11: it can all be about working counsel. Where's that team
Speaker 11: about or contact? I mean, ka bat tonight, Kyle Tucker
Speaker 11: puts the ball play a different story in field in halfway.
Speaker 11: Those are the things that make them seem disconnected because
Speaker 11: then you're looking at strikeouts, balls right down the middle.
Speaker 11: And yes, you've had a good point about dron and
Speaker 11: the RBI is compared to Ferry Freemant. That's the biggest
Speaker 11: difference right there. I mean for Freddie, obviously he's not
Speaker 11: gonna have as many chances because he's in it behind
Speaker 11: show hey, and now behind Pious. So those guys had
Speaker 11: you know, seventy RBIs almost each well Pie is over
Speaker 11: seventy almost and Choi is chasing him. But the connection
Speaker 11: is that the team that bat needs to appear in
Speaker 11: a game like Max Munsey does working account and things
Speaker 11: like that. But this team one through nine, we know
Speaker 11: they can do a lot of damage. They'll continue to
Speaker 11: do the same thing. If you look at from slugging
Speaker 11: to batting average, to ops to getting on base and
Speaker 11: on base percentage, this team gets a job done. Just
Speaker 11: one of those nice where Bayo did a very good
Speaker 11: job reading intentions and allowing the catcher to call some
Speaker 11: pitches that he knew had a better idea, come into
Speaker 11: relief that there was just not getting to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, I want to go back because
Speaker 2: I was going to bring up that at bat by
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker in the sixth inning, and I'm glad you did.
Speaker 2: All he has to do right there is get a
Speaker 2: base it up the middle. I had three former Dodgers
Speaker 2: text me that all he needed to do was get
Speaker 2: a base it up the middle and he strikes out. Looking,
Speaker 2: what what is the thought process the plan in the
Speaker 2: batter's box in that situation with runners in scoring position
Speaker 2: in two outs or.
Speaker 11: One else we want it. What should be is, okay,
Speaker 11: take your time and look at the defense what they're
Speaker 11: trying to do. Don't worry about how they're going to
Speaker 11: pitch you. That bat becomes in a bat for the
Speaker 11: Dodgers enough for Kyle Tucker, which is to say, hey,
Speaker 11: we have a lead, we're behind. We can you know,
Speaker 11: we can get a bigger lead here by me putting
Speaker 11: the ball in play. And that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 11: If Boston, Boston did so well today, what is it
Speaker 11: that they needed. Go out there and run our ground ball,
Speaker 11: get the infield hit yes, defend well, yes, look for
Speaker 11: some power and ambush on the change up.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 11: So that's what I'm talking about. The bat for Kyle
Speaker 11: Tucker could have changed the entire game today. And it's
Speaker 11: not a blame thing. It's an observation because as you
Speaker 11: get further into the season against tougher opponents and tougher
Speaker 11: pitching dolls of the Keys and you going out there
Speaker 11: and getting another run and on top of that day
Speaker 11: that might have changed Dave robertson mentality on the bullpen
Speaker 11: side of things, because now you have a bigger lead,
Speaker 11: and now you're going to a little bit more protection mode.
Speaker 11: And yes, you go chasing a win in that time situation,
Speaker 11: no doubt.
Speaker 2: I mean those a game can be won and lost,
Speaker 2: not necessarily in the ninth inning. It could be one
Speaker 2: in the first inning, it could be one in the
Speaker 2: sixth inning. And that was a big missed opportunity for
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker to have a team at bat. All right, Jose,
Speaker 2: thanks a lot for talking baseball. We'll talk to you
Speaker 2: tomorrow night. A great Saba told Hey Gante at Dodger.
Speaker 11: Stadium, Manyana Kondavid Oh.
Speaker 2: I love it, love it. There he goes Jose Mota,
Speaker 2: part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast. All right, let's
Speaker 2: take one more phone call before we say good night.
Speaker 2: Isaac in La. You're on Dodger Talk. Walk us off strong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Hi, excuse I have a question. One other teams
Speaker 5: are front runners to get Scooba besides the Daughters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, from what I'm gathering, it's the Tampa Bay Rays,
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves, and the Milwaukee Brewers along with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Those four teams are the teams that are all in
Speaker 2: to try to acquire Schooble at the deadline.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I was worried. I don't want him to
Speaker 5: go to the Brewers or the Phillies because I think
Speaker 5: feel like they're like the only ones that could give
Speaker 5: us problems in the postseason. I'm not really worried about
Speaker 5: any of the other teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Phillies don't have the prospects to pull off
Speaker 2: a trade for schoobl but the Brewers certainly do. And
Speaker 2: that's what everybody's thinking. Isaac teaming up Misowski and school
Speaker 2: Ball would make them formidable in a playoffs series. So
Speaker 2: we'll see where he goes he is going to get traded.
Speaker 2: Casey Mize, another one of the Tigers starters, was scratched
Speaker 2: from his start today. So is Freddy Peralta with the Mets.
Speaker 2: So those are all indicators those guys are getting traded.
Speaker 2: And if the Tigers are trading Mice and school Bowl
Speaker 2: and waving the white flag on their season, they probably
Speaker 2: are going to move Kennley Jansen. And I know two
Speaker 2: offseasons ago the Cubs were very interested in signing Jansen
Speaker 2: and they're looking for relief help. So possible landing spot
Speaker 2: for Kennley Jansen in the north side of Chicago at
Speaker 2: Wrigley Field, so we'll see where it all shakes out.
Speaker 2: A lot of big names are being talked about. Zach
Speaker 2: Netto from the Angels. I've heard Corey Seeger's name. The
Speaker 2: Rangers are looking to get out from underneath his contract.
Speaker 2: The Yankees are desperate for offense. I heard the Yankees
Speaker 2: are very interested in Segers. So are these Red Sox.
Speaker 2: So it feels like this trade deadline's going to be
Speaker 2: very exciting as we get closer to Monday at three
Speaker 2: o'clock Pacific time, and we'll have all the coverage for
Speaker 2: you all through the weekend and into Monday. Stick right
Speaker 2: here with Dodgers Radio and five to seventy LA Sports
Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app. Tomorrow, the Dodgers in Red Sox
Speaker 2: will hook up for Game two of this three game series.
Speaker 2: It'll be Yamamoto on the mound going up against left
Speaker 2: hander Peyton Totlly. Yamamoto is eleven and six with an
Speaker 2: ERA of two seventy two. Our coverage begins at five
Speaker 2: o'clock tomorrow with first pitch at six'. Ten that'll do
Speaker 2: it for us tonight On Dodger. Talk thanks To Colin
Speaker 2: ye back at Our burbank. Studios thanks To dwayne McDonald
Speaker 2: out here At Dodgers, stadium and thanks To Rich hill
Speaker 2: for blowing up the cell phone and you, know speakerphone to.
