WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (8-8-26) 

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:02.880
<v Speaker 1>The quest for the three peat has begun.

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles.

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth.

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 3>This is World Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.720

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, David Vase.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't pretty, but the Dodgers got it done. They

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:37.959
<v Speaker 2>snapped their seven game losing streak with a two to

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 2>one win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in ten innings. Tonight,

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Welcome the Dodger Talk David Vasse live at Chase Field.

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 2>We have phone lines wide open. I'm talking to you

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>kenan Newport Beach. You had a lot to say last night.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 2>Where are you at tonight as the Dodgers snap that

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>seven game losing streak and win their seventieth game of

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the season. Eight six six nine eight seven two five

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number. I still don't know how

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks did not win this game after back to

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>back triples from Heroldo Perdomo and Corbin Carrol in the

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 2>ninth inning with nobody out. Carol was at third base.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>He's the fastest runner in Major League Baseball, and all

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>Arizona needed to do was get the ball anywhere in

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the outfield. He tags up and likely scores. Even with

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the outfield drawn in for the Dodgers, even maybe a

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>ground ball, you know, a slow ground ball to the

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:48.559
<v Speaker 2>right side possibly gets him in. But somehow, some way,

0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>at that point in time, Edwin Diaz just competed his

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>way out of there without his slider, because that was

0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the issue.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Again. Tonight his his going his going back.

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go back to even when Edwin Diaz was

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>pitching for the Mets and there was a game in

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the last don't know, three or four years that the

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers came back and walked off the Mets with Diaz

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 2>on the mound. And I remember talking to some of

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger hitters that night and I said, how did

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you do that against Edwin Diaz? And they told me

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>he didn't have a slider, And when he doesn't have

0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>a slider, you could sit fastball. And tonight, last night,

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>and this entire season, Edwin Diaz just has not had

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 2>the feel for his slider. So the Diamondbacks, Heraldo Perdomo

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.119
<v Speaker 2>and Corbyn Carroll jumped all over that back to back triples.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>They hit it in the perfect spot here at Chase Field.

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 2>That is very much a big outfield that can lead

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>to triples, back to back triples.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen that in.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>A long time. I know I haven't seen that ever.

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.120
<v Speaker 2>But that was the case in the ninth inning. On

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:08.239
<v Speaker 2>top of all that, so with the winning run ninety

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>feet away, Edwin Diaz had to dig down and compete.

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Forget about finding the feel for his slider. He was

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 2>fortunate Gabrielle Moreno hit a line drive right at Max Munsey,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>and kudos to the Dodgers positioning because there were a

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of hard hit balls tonight that were hit right

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 2>at infielders Mookie Bets, Tommy Edmund. Max Munsey positioned perfectly

0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>to tell Marte pops up to Mookie Bets for the

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>second out. Dave Roberts decides to walk now Bar intentionally,

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and then Edwin Diaz strikes out Vargas on a fastball.

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 2>He did not have the slider, so even though he

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>blew the safe, he did not blow the game. And

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that's the biggest thing here. This guy is

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the best closers the last three or four years,

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 2>and to see him take it personal and didn't like

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>being embarrassed last night or tonight or this entire season.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 2>For him to just say, you know what, I'm rearing

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>back and I'm going to compete, and that's exactly how

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>he got out of that ninth inning. The Diamondbacks, I mean,

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they're going to sleep tonight. They

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>left fifteen runners on base tonight. They were just two

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>for sixteen with runners in scoring position, And as far

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 2>as the game goes overall, the Dodger offense still still

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>not where it needs to be, but hopefully a win

0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 2>like tonight gets it going in the right direction, because

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning, the Dodgers should have scored more

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>runs after Tucker's home run. They had runners at first

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 2>and second with one out. Otani and Pahz swung at

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 2>ball four at least three times each during their at bat,

0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>so that was a prime example of the Dodgers' quality

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.440
<v Speaker 2>of at bats tonight being subpar. And if you look

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:12.719
<v Speaker 2>at the Dodger offense, overall, this is an incredible, incredible stat.

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Every single one of their hits during the last eight

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.559
<v Speaker 2>games has either been a single or a home run,

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:27.239
<v Speaker 2>nothing in between. No doubles, no triples, either a single

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 2>or a home run, including tonight. Now the Dodgers in

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>their last eight games thirty three singles, eight home runs.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>That's hard to do.

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>One of the guys with the home runs was Kyle

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Tucker in the eighth inning.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>We caught up with him after the game tonight.

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it feels great.

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean we haven't played our best brand of baseball lately,

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 5>but yeah, this long season stuff happens. You know, glad

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 5>to get get back in the win column and you know,

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 5>keep moving forward from beer.

0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Can you take us through the tenth inning?

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Obviously there was some good base running, opportunistic base running.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not a conventional.

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Way to win, but I guess you have to do

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 2>whatever you can at this point.

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you just got to try and take advantage of,

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, whatever the other team gives you and just

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 5>keep keep on trucking. I mean, right there, just you know,

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 5>two outsret there, I'm on second, Fetti drawing a great

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 5>walk out there, and you know, show being able to

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 5>get that single right there was huge. So then Jack

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 5>coming in obviously at the at the end right there

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 5>and pulling it down and getting that huge double play

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 5>at the end to you know, secure the wind was

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 5>was amazing.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 2>What was the feeling in the dugout and going through

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>this game?

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.119
<v Speaker 5>I mean, so if we've been we've been grinding lately,

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 5>just trying to continue to keep pushing forward, keep keep

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 5>grinding through the season, just trying to put up some

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 5>competitive bats. I mean, they got a good pitching staff,

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 5>a good bullpen and everything, so it.

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 4>Can be tough at times. But you know, we just

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 4>got to.

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 5>Keep confidencing ourselves and just go try and play a

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 5>little bit better brand baseball than we have done.

0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, tonight's the start of a new winning streak.

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Thanks a lot for stopping yep starts at one. All right,

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 2>there is Kyle Tucker feeling good, and so were the

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers after snapping that season long seven game losing streak.

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>We're brought to you by your Toyota dealers. We make

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>it easy. Eight six six nine eight seven two five

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number.

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:16.880
<v Speaker 1>How about Jack Dryer.

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>A lot of pitchers would have thrown that ball into

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 2>center field, but he kept his composure, was deliberate with

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the throw to Tommy Edmond to end the game, with

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 2>last night's hero Ryan Waldschmidt at the plate to end

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>the game a one four to three double play.

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And how about Jack Dryer.

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>In the last two months fifteen appearances, he has allowed

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:43.239
<v Speaker 2>just two earned runs eight six six nine eight seven

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go out

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>to the phones for the first time tonight after the

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers get a win. Let's go out to Whittier. Julian,

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.239
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk. I guarantee to win last night, Julian.

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Don't anybody ever doubt me.

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 6>I remember I was listening. I was listening, but I

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 6>didn't know it was gonna be in this fashion. My god,

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 6>that felt. Let me tell you something. Baseball in general,

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 6>it's just a remarkable sport, isn't it. I mean, extra ending.

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 6>How often do you see two triples?

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 6>It was just it was such a good baseball game

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 6>just to begin with, you know, And the Dodgers came

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 6>out on top on the right end of this, and

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 6>I think we're gonna see more as the season progresses,

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 6>We're going to see more intense baseball games like this.

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 6>It really doesn't matter sometimes about the record, because the

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 6>teams come out to play and they come out to

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 6>beat you regardless of where they are in the standings.

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 6>And I wasn't gonna call tonight, but I was just

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 6>I was so impressed with the the game itself tonight,

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 6>you know, a pictures duel. I mean, it really felt

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 6>like a playoff game. Two triples by the other team

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 6>and the Dodgers come out on top. It was just really,

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 6>really awesome to watch such an intense game.

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I love I love the excitement from you, and that's

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>sparking you to call in tonight.

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Julian. Thanks for the phone call.

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's going to be an exciting last fifty something

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 2>games down the stretch, and it's only going to get exciting,

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>even more exciting in October. So thanks a lot for

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 2>calling in, and I love your passion and excitement for

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodger baseball.

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Thank you. Take care David, all right, Julian.

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to keep the receipts on you, but

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I did guarantee a Dodger win tonight, and this man,

0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I asked to call in after the Dodgers ended this

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 2>losing streak. And he is a man of his word

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>as well, that is MCS Scrooge himself. Ken in Newport Beach, Ken,

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 2>What complaints do you have tonight?

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Ken?

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, first off, young Yamamoto was great. I thought Dryer

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 3>was sensational. I was shocked when he went back to

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.479
<v Speaker 3>uh to what's his name again, uh.

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Edwin dis Aka Sugar.

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, actually I was a.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Little I was on the fence.

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe he would go with Tanner Scott for

0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>a four out, say, but Scott threw a lot of

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 2>pitches last night, so I would feel like that was

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the limit there. But I mean, you got to give

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 2>DS some credit, can for finding a way to send

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that game into extra innings.

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.839
<v Speaker 3>And here's here's a little staff pucker down in the

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 3>last ten games, is a better batting average than Oki?

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Then uh Munsey.

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Muncie, who was a bad slump and.

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>He's in a bad sty three percent during the last

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 2>eight games.

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he said a bunch of them twenty five only walking.

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Ten percent of the time when he walks. That's a

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 2>big part of the Dodger offensive attack. And Muncie, I

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 2>think is a really key player for the Dodgers, and

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I feel like it's been overlooked.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 1>He's been in a bad slump lately, and there's.

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 3>A little a lot of slow pitches, a lot of changeups,

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.199
<v Speaker 3>and he's not hitting them. But I thought Tucker really

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 3>really showed us. He's hitting two ninety two in the

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 3>last ten games, and that's amazing coming from where he was.

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 3>But the great win, I was in down a long time,

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 3>but happy as I can be right now.

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I can't believe you called. Thanks a lot ken.

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:46.559
<v Speaker 3>All right, thank you.

<v Speaker 8>watch right.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:12.720

<v Speaker 1>So I expect you to find your way to last

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>night's show.

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 3>You know what.

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 8>I'm gonna do that when I get off the phone

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 8>right now. But before I do that, I want to say, Man,

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 8>this game it felt like a playoff game, just like

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.199
<v Speaker 8>the first caller said, I forgot his name, sorry, but

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 8>it absolutely felt like a playoff game. And honestly, I

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 8>just I feel released. I feel the leaved because we

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 8>snapped that wedding stream, we cut the cable. You know,

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 8>there's so many ways to describe it that we we

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:03.599
<v Speaker 8>we map that fertin losing streak because you know, I

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 8>can't stand lease hey, I'm.

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna say hey, Dominic. The reason why you feel

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.240
<v Speaker 2>and so does so many other This was a playoff

0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.280
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere because Chase Field was sold out forty six thou

0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and thirteen at least thirty eight thousand were

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans. And I'm not going to say games in

0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>August or I must win, but this came as close

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 2>as it can to a must win for the Dodgers,

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.719
<v Speaker 2>because you don't want that losing streak to go to

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 2>eight and you're staring at a sweep tomorrow and you

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>lose two Yamamoto starts in the last two weeks or

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 2>in the last week.

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's the reason why you felt that way. Thanks

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 1>for the phone call.

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Let's say back downstairs to the Dodger

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Clubhouse to hear from manager Dave Roberts on sports and

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 2>at LA oh.

0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:56.679
<v Speaker 4>Man, it was.

0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 9>You know, that was a tough one. We'll take it.

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 9>You know, I think that it comes down to the pitchers.

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.959
<v Speaker 9>Uh competed all night. Some of them were sharp, some

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 9>of them weren't. Young Momoto got his pitch count up

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 9>and but did enough obviously, you know, throwing up zeros

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 9>through the sixth inning or almost finishing the sixth You know,

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 9>we got a big out there, you know with Phillips

0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 9>and you know Vessia with a couple of walks. We

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 9>found a way to to work his way out of

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 9>that one. You know, Kyle had a good start to

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 9>his inning and then the hit and the two walks.

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 9>But then Tanner came out and made a big pitch

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 9>to get the flyout, and so we we it wasn't pretty.

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 9>I think offensively, we just got.

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 3>To get going.

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 9>You know, I think it's just hard to win games

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 9>when you know your margin for winning his Erazor's edge

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 9>and so it's not like guys aren't trying, but you know,

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 9>it's a tough way to pitch and have to be perfect.

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 9>And so yeah, DS tonight, I think for me, it's

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 9>just the intensity. I think that you saw once they

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 9>scored the run man on third base, nobody out. You

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 9>saw the intensity pick up the stuff pick up. The

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 9>fastball got better, the slider got better, and you know,

0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 9>even talking to him after the game, it's, you know,

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 9>that's how we have to be from the first pitch.

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.480
<v Speaker 9>But that was the first game I saw this year

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 9>where he had some real intensity. Yeah, it's it's yeah,

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 9>you know, it's great. It's hard to win a major

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 9>league baseball game. It feels good to win, and yeah,

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 9>it feels good to win a basically win.

0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes, as far as that intensity hasn't been there for him,

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 5>considering how kind of struggles have kind of happened for

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 5>Diaz this.

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 9>Year, Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's just

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 9>kind of you know, you want to be perfect. You're

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 9>trying to, you know, get your using feet under you.

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 9>He's been in rehab mode a lot, but I think

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.040
<v Speaker 9>that again, this is something I think could be a

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 9>springboard to the for audys to come.

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 2>All Right, there's Dave Roberts on Sports Net LA, and

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I agree with him one hundred percent. It feels like

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Edwin ds since he came off the IL, he's acting

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>like these are rehab outings and he's.

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Easing into the game. No, the rehab is over.

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>You got to come into the game in the ninth inning,

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>hit the ground running because the game is on the line.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with him.

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I felt like again tonight, Diaz was easing into the

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 2>game until the game was on the line. And that's

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>what I was trying to explain that he competed his

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>way through the final three outs of that ninth inning

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 2>after being embarrassed. Again, I don't believe he wanted to

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 2>be embarrassed walking off that mound after giving up another

0:16:55.640 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 2>walk off basit and being responsible for the eighth loss.

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, during that seven game losing streak

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers that ended tonight, the Dodgers had leads

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.159
<v Speaker 2>in all seven of those games, so they blew leads

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.600
<v Speaker 2>at different point in times of those games during that

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 2>seven game losing streak, and tonight could have been another one,

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 2>not just in the ninth inning, but Vessia for whatever reason,

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 2>his walk rate is higher than it's ever been in

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 2>his career. Kyle Hurt gets the first two outs of

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 2>the eighth inning and then all of a sudden is

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.400
<v Speaker 2>all over the place and Tanner Scott had to come

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>in to bail them out with the bases loaded. So

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 2>those are the things that Dave Roberts was pointing to.

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Covina, Lucas. You're on Dodger Talk

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Live from Chase Field.

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Lucas, you stole my thunder, Dave.

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's the Edwin Diaz experiment, and I'm just wondering.

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's not an experiment. Is here to stay?

0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? No, I get it. But you know, is he ready?

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:02.879
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 10>And and you know he goes out there.

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 2>I believe physically he's ready. And I think what Dave

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Roberts said after the game is right on point. He

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 2>knows his players. Diaz is ready physically. Now he's got

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 2>to flip the switch mentally and get out of Oh

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm just easing my way back.

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, you don't have that luxury when the game is

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 2>on the line, when you're on the mound.

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>So I agree with Dave. It's not physical, it's mental.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 10>Are you know you've been in the clubhouse and and

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 10>you you're talking to the players, you know, can you

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 10>give us some insight as to how they're feeling when

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 10>when they go through something like this. And I'll land

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.359
<v Speaker 10>on that, but I really appreciate the show and and

0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 10>love to get your insight on what the players are

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 10>thinking after this long stretch.

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Thanks all right, Lucas, thank you for the phone call.

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Perfect tease to our next segment, because when we continue

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.320
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk, you'll hear from Miguel Rojas, who won

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the hard and hustle for the Dodgers. He shared with

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.879
<v Speaker 2>us what he told his teammates via text after last

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 2>night's game. Don't go anywhere more Dodger Talk around the

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.439
<v Speaker 2>corner after the Dodgers snapped their seven game losing streak

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 2>with a two to one win in ten innings over

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the Diamondbacks on a five to seventy LA sports.

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:30.719
<v Speaker 4>Hi, this is Freddy Freeman.

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 5>This is the home of the back to back world

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:34.400
<v Speaker 5>champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Don't miss a moment of the quest.

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:36.919
<v Speaker 8>Four to three p.

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 1>One oh pitch, Tucker swings. It's a high drive, Dude

0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Price Field back it goes. He his gone held. Tucker

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>breaks the ice with a home run, He's.

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Eleventh of the season, and the Dodgers late at one

0:19:53.760 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 2>to nothing. Kyle Tucker with his fourth home run since

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Break, his ninth home run away from

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers Stadium. Tucker has eleven home runs on the year,

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.040
<v Speaker 2>nine of them on the road, including that one that

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.080
<v Speaker 2>gave the Dodgers a one nothing lead in the eighth inning.

0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Arizona would tie it to with back to back triples,

0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>but the Dodgers in the tenth inning found a way

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to be opportunistic and infield single by show hel Tany

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.920
<v Speaker 2>score Tucker to give the Dodgers the two to one lead,

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and then Jack Dryer came in for his first save

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 2>of the year, ending the game on a one, four

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 2>to three double play from last night's hero Ryan Waldschmidt.

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.120

<v Speaker 2>two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat the

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Snakes two to one in ten innings, and before the game,

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 2>we had a chance to catch up with one of

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers team leaders, Miguel Rojas, who was awarded the

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Hardened Hustle for the Dodgers team in twenty twenty six.

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Third time Rojas has won that award, but the first

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 2>time with the Dodgers, and I can't think of anybody

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.520
<v Speaker 2>better than to be honored with that award than Miguel Rojas.

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 2>And then in the middle of the conversation, we talked

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 2>about how the Dodgers were going to get out of

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:33.159
<v Speaker 2>this rut they've been in, and he shared with us

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 2>the message that he sent to his teammates after last

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 2>night's loss.

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 11>I challenged the guys, I sent in a little quick

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.679
<v Speaker 11>message on the group last night to start our sprint

0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.400
<v Speaker 11>right now. You know why not to start when he's

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 11>forty four games left, so we prepare for what is coming.

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.920
<v Speaker 11>And I feel like if we put the little intensity

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 11>on every pitch and forget about the boss and forget

0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 11>about what's the future is going to look like. I

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:00.360
<v Speaker 11>think we're gonna be on the moment more and we're

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 11>gonna give everything that we have in that moment. So

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 11>I think it's important to remember those those little things

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.359
<v Speaker 11>when you go in the middle of the summer and

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 11>you know, like you're approaching the end of the season

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:13.480
<v Speaker 11>and you kind of wanted to get over there with

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 11>so you can go to October. But I mean, no

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 11>one is gonna give you anything for free, so we're

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:21.720
<v Speaker 11>gonna have to earn it, and this is our time

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 11>to kind of start our spring. I believe we can

0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:26.320
<v Speaker 11>do it. I know we've been playing a lot of

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 11>games the last two years and this year, but if

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.520
<v Speaker 11>we have an opportunity to do something really special, so

0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 11>if we have it in our hands, let's do it.

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're in it to win it.

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 11>We're not in it just to say, oh, no, we

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 11>won the last two, were okay, not winning this one,

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 11>or let's see what happened. No, we're in it to

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 11>win this one, and now that we have the opportunity

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.800
<v Speaker 11>that all we have to play is fifty some more

0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:53.720
<v Speaker 11>games in this year, it's a good time for.

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Us to kind of like do the sprint and finish

0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 4>the season.

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Man, I love that, and I told Rojas he would

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 2>get me to run through a wall. I was excited

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 2>after hearing that. And that's what you need from your

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 2>leaders to hold the others accountable, especially a guy like

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 2>that hard and Hustle Award winner. It's not just about

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 2>what he's done on the field, it's what he means

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 2>in the dugout, in the clubhouse and to his teammates,

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and what he did in the World Series last year,

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.320
<v Speaker 2>not starting a game all of a sudden, he's in

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>there in Game six, in Game seven, hits the World

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Series saving home run. All of those things give him

0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of credibility with his teammates to be able

0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 2>to fire off a text after last night's game and say, hey, we.

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Got to clean it up.

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 2>We got to refocus and run through the finish line,

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 2>not just run to it as we see the light

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:50.879
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the tunnel, being the postseason. And

0:23:51.040 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I love what he said. It reaffirms everything I've believed

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 2>in this team. They are not just here to go

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.920
<v Speaker 2>through the motions and see what happens in October. They

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 2>want to make history. They want to become the first

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>team in National League history to three pete.

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 1>They want to become one of those elite teams.

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Joining the Reds, joining the A's, joining the Yankees to

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 2>three p That's who they want to be, or not

0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 2>the Reds, but the A's and Yankees want to They

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 2>want to be one of those teams that has that

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:27.880
<v Speaker 2>legacy of three peating. And they know everybody's against them,

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and uh, nothing would be sweeter for them to prove

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people wrong. Let's go out to Downey, Rob,

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 2>you're on Dodger Talk with David Vasse. How about that, Rob,

0:24:38.080 --> 0:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas doubling down, sending a message to his teammates.

0:24:42.040 --> 0:24:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that proves to you and everybody else this

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 2>team is not just going through the motions.

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 12>I love a DV. Thanks taking my call. Migurel speaks

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.760
<v Speaker 12>for all of us. You know we're not too worried

0:24:55.800 --> 0:25:00.280
<v Speaker 12>about this lost streak. But Edwin Diaz doesn't me a

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:03.159
<v Speaker 12>little bit of Craig Kimbrel During that time. If you

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:05.200
<v Speaker 12>remember that kind of crusting the resume.

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It's not like that Dies is not at the end

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of the rope that Kimberrel was. He's not.

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 12>But I'm just saying reminiscent of that. But anyways, my

0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 12>point is I just left the wedding in the Greater

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 12>La area and ran into Blake Trining in the lobby

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:23.440
<v Speaker 12>of this area. I won't say much bewhere, but I

0:25:23.480 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 12>saw Blake.

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 6>I saw Blake. He looks good.

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.360
<v Speaker 12>So I don't know if you have any inside information

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:32.159
<v Speaker 12>on that, but help is on the way, it seems like.

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 12>And I just want to remind Dodger fans we got this.

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 12>Let's go for three in a row.

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:36.680
<v Speaker 7>Thanks DV.

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, Rob, thank you for the phone call. Hey, Downy,

0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 1>stop by Downey Hundai while.

0:25:42.119 --> 0:25:46.440
<v Speaker 7>You're out there, Rob, we'll do Thanks DV Okay.

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Look, Blake Tryning has to go out on some rehab appearances.

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.919
<v Speaker 2>By all accounts, the shoulder is calmed down as far

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 2>as the inflammation goes.

0:25:56.760 --> 0:25:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:59.600
<v Speaker 2>He just needs to get ready for September and the

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 2>stretch run. He's a guy that's a three time World

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Series champion with the Dodgers, so he has that experience.

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I view him in that bullpen kind of like Dan

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Hudson was for the Dodgers in twenty four And it's

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>great to see Daniel Hudson out here at Chase Field.

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.360
<v Speaker 1>He's been around each of the last two days. When

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>tryin it comes back.

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>That's who I view him as a guy that will

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 2>be part of the thirteen best pitchers. He brings experience,

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 2>he brings a calmness to the mound, and I'm sure

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:34.240
<v Speaker 2>he brings a calmness to the bullpen. So I kind

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 2>of feel like that's his role at this stage of

0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:40.480
<v Speaker 2>his career. Let's go out of Santa Clarita. Sean, You're

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk Live from Chase Field. Hi, Sean, thanks

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:44.199
<v Speaker 2>for being patient.

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 7>How are you doing. Thank you for taking my call, DV.

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 7>I was actually checking in on a fellow Santa Clarita native,

0:26:50.760 --> 0:26:52.960
<v Speaker 7>Tyler Glass. Now, I know you got to start the

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:56.879
<v Speaker 7>other day down with the tower buzzers, and I've been

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 7>looking at the box store and I see there's twenty

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 7>old kid Easton Shelton, thirty three home runs and one

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 7>hundred two RBIs. He's not on any prospect licks. I

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.359
<v Speaker 7>didn't know anyone else like who I could ask, But

0:27:10.680 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 7>do you have any information on this kid?

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 12>Is he?

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:16.200
<v Speaker 7>Is he possible next big star for the Dodgers?

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 3>What do you think?

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be honest with you, Sean.

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:22.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't really put too much stock into what guys

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:26.160
<v Speaker 2>are doing at Single A, but since the tower buzzers

0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 2>are in our backyard, it's hard to ignore having a

0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 2>guy like that. I'll I'll ask Brandon Gomes and Andrew

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Friedman and I'll let you know what they think of

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Easton Shelton.

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 7>All right, I'll be listening. Thank you, DV.

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:40.880
<v Speaker 1>All Right, thank you for the phone call. Sean.

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sorry, My focus is on the back to back champions,

0:27:44.520 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 2>and obviously the guys like Kintaro Morales, those guys Depaula,

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:53.440
<v Speaker 2>those are the guys that have been on my radar.

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 2>But I if I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna take

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.080
<v Speaker 2>a pause and remind myself what Clayton Kershaw used to

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 2>tell me repeatedly. He gave me some great advice when

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 2>spring training, and he said, it's okay to tell somebody

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't know. And I don't know about Easton Shelton,

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 2>but I will find out for you. How about that

0:28:14.320 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 2>channeling Clayton Kershaw, who did a good thing with Brad

0:28:17.400 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Paisley being on who wants to be a millionaire and

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 2>getting some good money for the store Kimberly and Brad's

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:29.800
<v Speaker 2>great place in Nashville that allows families that can't afford

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 2>groceries to be able to shop, and Kershaw's challenge. So

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 2>thank you Clayton for always being in my head. And

0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 2>that was a true story. In spring training one day

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>he said, why can't you just say that you don't know?

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I said, you know what, thank you for the advice.

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll keep with that with me moving forward. So I

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know about Easton Shelton, but I will find out.

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 2>One thing I do know is Scott vans Like used

0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 2>to tell me trust my eyes. And I saw a

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>show Heytani with my own with my two O hos

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 2>today today in full uniform, go out there, throw plyioballs

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 2>against the bullpen wall down the right field line in

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger bullpen, and then come out and play catch

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:16.920
<v Speaker 2>with a purpose.

0:29:18.000 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 1>For the first time in two weeks since he threw

0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:21.760
<v Speaker 1>a thirty four.

0:29:21.680 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Pitch bullpen session, and again I feel like he took

0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people by surprise that he was doing

0:29:28.120 --> 0:29:31.080
<v Speaker 2>this today, but he did it, and I.

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't know where this is leading, but I will tell

0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you this.

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:37.560
<v Speaker 2>He has seven more weeks to go in the regular

0:29:37.720 --> 0:29:41.880
<v Speaker 2>season and the even shorter amount of time to build

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 2>back up, and I firmly believe that he does want

0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 2>to try to make it work. I saw a video

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.320
<v Speaker 2>because there's hot mics everywhere and hot camera zooming in

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 2>on everything Otani does before first pitch tonight, he and

0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Lars now Bar, teammates with Team Japan. We're having a

0:29:59.760 --> 0:30:03.600
<v Speaker 2>common in center field, and I'm a pretty good rip

0:30:04.040 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 2>lip reader. I'm not John Boy, but I'm a good

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:10.400
<v Speaker 2>lip reader. And he was saying as Lars Newpar was

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 2>asking him how the pitching was going, he basically was saying,

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll see how it goes, and then he was motioning

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>how the landing leg is a problem. His left knee

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>was a problem. So even him in that candid moment

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 2>with Lars Newbar didn't seem very sure that the left

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.280
<v Speaker 2>knee was going to cooperate moving forward.

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So it stinks for Otani.

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 2>He can't even have a conversation with Lars Newbar in

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 2>center field before the game without cameras zooming in.

0:30:37.120 --> 0:30:40.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's out there. I saw it, and that's what

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.680
<v Speaker 1>he was basically describing. So there you go.

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I want to end the show on

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 2>this because we haven't had a chance. During a seven

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 2>game losing streak in Chicago, I had a chance to

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:56.280
<v Speaker 2>catch up with Alex Call, who did not get traded,

0:30:56.840 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and he was he wanted to keep the receivers. So

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:05.440
<v Speaker 2>enjoy this corrections and retractions self reporting here. I should

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:07.840
<v Speaker 2>not have believed the news that was out there that

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Alex Call was being considered to be traded before the

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.760
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline. He got his revenge. She almost hit me

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>with a baseball during batting practice. And Alex Call, a

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 2>great loyal Dodger talk listener, is in front of us.

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So I am going to hand him the microphone and

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll wear whatever you have for me.

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Dave. Well, it's ga. It's great to be here.

0:31:31.520 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 13>And you know, I was getting a little bit nervous

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 13>after all the you know, reports reporting from.

0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Dave Essay and.

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 13>Others, but uh, you know, I kept the faith, you know,

0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 13>because at the end of the day, you love being

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 13>a Dodger. It's been an amazing year for me. It's

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 13>been so much fun, and uh, it's out of your control.

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 13>But grateful to still be here.

0:31:56.120 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 2>What were the conversations like from Andrew Friedman? Did he

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>tell you you David Vasse's an idiot?

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 13>You know it was insinuated, but no, it was just

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 13>nice to hear very complimented me of me. He wasn't,

0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 13>you know, giving me assurance either way, but basically just

0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 13>that you know, we really respect you, We we value

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 13>what you do.

0:32:20.720 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 4>We love how you approach the.

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 13>Game, how you prepare, how you're ready, and you know,

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 13>that's the exact type of player that we like. And uh,

0:32:28.400 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 13>you know we obviously like to acquire in you and

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:34.120
<v Speaker 13>and and continue to like even more since we've had you.

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 4>So just really really nice stuff from Andrew and just

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 4>anytime you.

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:41.120
<v Speaker 13>Hear that type of stuff, you're you're just grateful for

0:32:41.240 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 13>the organization and you know, just kind of validates what

0:32:44.560 --> 0:32:44.920
<v Speaker 13>you're doing.

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, happy to happy to be here. But it

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:49.480
<v Speaker 4>was great to have the conversation.

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 2>It was tough for me to be niced out by

0:32:52.240 --> 0:32:54.880
<v Speaker 2>you for the last three days, just getting the thumb

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 2>thumbs down, I mean, the disappointment I'm serious that that

0:32:59.120 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 2>was tough for.

0:32:59.600 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Me to hand.

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.120
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I was given Dave the thumbs down whenever I

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 13>saw him. We weren't on speaking terms. But you know,

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 13>we can move forward and we're focused on the three

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 13>feet now.

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Love it.

0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I won't listen read apps that promote fake news. Alex

0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.040
<v Speaker 2>calls a Dodger. That's the way it's going to remain.

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:22.200
<v Speaker 2>And I'm happy you're here.

0:33:22.360 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Thank you.

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:23.880
<v Speaker 3>Dave.

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:27.880
<v Speaker 1>All Right, Alex call and I we're back. We're back

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:29.520
<v Speaker 1>after the trade deadline.

0:33:29.640 --> 0:33:34.800
<v Speaker 2>So whatever the case was, Eric Lower and Alex call

0:33:34.880 --> 0:33:36.920
<v Speaker 2>her a Dodger, and I think that's a good thing

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Dodgers. Call, by the way, has barely had

0:33:40.040 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 2>one played appearance in the last week or so. He

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:46.160
<v Speaker 2>got hit by a pitch in Chicago as a pinch hitter.

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Hasn't played a lot, never played in one of those

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 2>three games against Boston where they threw three lefties at him.

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully he gets in there soon. But he understands

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>his role. And he told me before the trade deadline.

0:33:59.240 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I said, wouldn't you I want to go somewhere if

0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 2>they're going to trade you to play more, And he said,

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, what where would I be in October. I'd

0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:10.200
<v Speaker 2>rather be here than on my couch in October, So

0:34:10.280 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to stay. So that's the type of attitude

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:17.680
<v Speaker 2>that the Dodgers probably leaned towards. Hey, this guy wants

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:20.359
<v Speaker 2>to be here, he accepts his role. Let's keep him,

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Let's keep lower. Lower has accepted either starting or going

0:34:24.480 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen when Snell and Glass now get healthy.

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 2>So both those guys, they're all in. And you need

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:34.440
<v Speaker 2>those type of guys, those complimentary players to understand their

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.440
<v Speaker 2>role and how they fit with a championship team. So

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Alex cal and I thumbs back up. Tomorrow, Justin Robleski

0:34:42.560 --> 0:34:44.440
<v Speaker 2>is on the mound. He's eleven and three with an

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:46.800
<v Speaker 2>ERA of three point thirty one, going up against a

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Wardo Rodriguez, who is ten and four with an ERA

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 2>of two seventy one. Our coverage begins tomorrow at noon,

0:34:53.719 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 2>first pitch at one ten with Rick Munday and Tim Neverett.

<v Speaker 2>Thanks to Colin Ye back at our burd Banks Studios,
