WEBVTT - Dodger Talk (4-14-26) 

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

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

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

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

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>This is World Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Here we go again.

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>We're running back to get in on the show called

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>eight six six, not eighty seven two five seven, and

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.239
<v Speaker 1>be sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts.

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, David Vase.

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.200
<v Speaker 3>The pitching matchup lived up to the hype.

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 2>The marquee pitching matchup between Nolan McLain and Yoshi Yamamoto

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>lived up to the hype as we got what we

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 2>all paid for tonight as the Dodgers beat the Mets

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 2>two to one, and after Yamamoto and McClain basically matched

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 2>each other pitch for pitch. Welcome the Dodger Talk. David

0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Vass with you until eleven o'clock to night. Eight six

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>six nine, eight seven, two five seventy is the phone number.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>We have two lines open. I see the break lights

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>in the parking lot. I know after the Dodgers win,

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>nobody has anything to complain about, but how about celebrate

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>what you have in this Dodger ball club the best

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>record in baseball thirteen and four and can you believe

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 2>they have not lost a game to a National League team?

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers' four losses are two American League teams. They

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>lost two out of three to the Guardians at the

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 2>end of March in early May on the last homestand

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>they took two out of three from the Blue Jays,

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>but the Blue Jays won a game. And they took

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 2>two out of three from the Rangers earlier on this

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 2>homestand and Jacob de Gram and the Rangers salage the

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>final game of that series last Sunday. So the Dodgers

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>are eight to zero against the National League and have

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 2>the best record in baseball at thirteen. Now, I'm sure

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>when you were listening last night and you hear me

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about, Hey, if you have, you.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Know, I'm not going to say I told you so,

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 3>but I told you so.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Going back to Sunday, I said, if you were going

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 2>to pick one game to come to on this homestand

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 2>it would be this game tonight. If you had to

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 2>pick one game to come to in this series, it

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>would be tonight. Because two of the young bright Stars

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>were going up against each other. Obviously, Yamamoto, twenty seven

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>years old, more decorated than anything Nolan McClain has done

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>in his professional career, going back to Japan and what

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>he did in his first two years in Major League Baseball.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to compare resumes, but the stuff and

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 2>the future of these two young right handers is bright.

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>And this is the first of many matchups that we

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>will see between Yama Moto and Nolan McClain if we

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 2>are lucky and they did not disappoint. Yama Moto gave

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>up a leadoff home run to Francisco Lindor and then

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>after that proceeded to retire the next twenty mets. Yama Moto,

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>through one hundred and four pitches, got into the eighth inning,

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>only got two outs, started to kind of run out

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>of gas. Dave Roberts took him out. Nolan McClain threw

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>ninety five pitches in seven innings. Carlos Mendoza did not

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 2>send him back out for the eighth inning and it

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>became a bullpen game. McClain was nasty tonight, eight strikeouts,

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>two walks. Like I mentioned during the Clubhouse Show, Yamamoto's

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 2>only mistake was.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 3>To Francisco Lindor. It was a home run.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I would say the only mistake that Nolan McClain made

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>was in the very first inning as well. That though,

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>was a double to Will Smith, who actually was teammates

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>with mc in Team USA and the World Baseball Classic.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 2>He caught McClain, so he had a better idea going

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>into the game what he's looking at.

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>But that was the only mistake.

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>It was a fastball on the inner part of the

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>play where Will Smith likes it, and he laysd the double,

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>so he put runners at second and third. After the

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>one out walk by Kyle Tucker and Freddie he hit

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>a little dribbler up the first base line that got

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>the run home, and that was the only run the

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers scored off of Nolan McClain. So it was everything

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>we thought it would be. You think back to some

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 2>of the great matchups of the eighties between the Dodgers

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 2>and Mets. Dwight Gooden almost unhittable when the Dodgers would

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>face him. That's why it was a miracle. Mike Sosha

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 2>hit that game tying home run off of Dwight Gooden.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>In Game four the.

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Eighty eight NLCS and then Kirk Gibson won it in

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.599
<v Speaker 2>the twelfth inning with a home run. But that's how

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>dominant Dwight Gooden was, and that's how dominant Nolan McClain

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>was tonight as he went toe to toe with Yamamoto,

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the World Series MVP. After that, Blake Trenton did his

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>job with two outs in the eighth inning, two on,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>he gets Luis Robert to strike out, and then we

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>look into the bullpen and we don't see Edwin Diaz.

0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 3>We see Alex Vessia.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vessia came in, struck out the side for his

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 2>second save and second opportunity in this season with Edwin

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Diaz just nursing something that we can't get clarity on.

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>But the reason why Diaz was not available he was

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 2>throwing a bullpen at four o'clock this afternoon. Relievers don't

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.159
<v Speaker 2>throw bullpen sessions and then pitching this in a game

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>that same night. So that's the reason why Vessia came in.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 2>And after tonight's game, we had a chance to catch

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>up with Kyle Tucker, who had his biggest hit as

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger tonight, driving in the go ahead run on

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning, and then Alex Vesia walked up

0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>to me gave me a chest pound. He was pumped

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 2>up and wanted to share the emotions of the night

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:10.239
<v Speaker 2>with us as well.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that was a good one. You know, both you know,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 4>starters through a phenomenal game and yeah, I'm just gave

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:19.440
<v Speaker 4>us all you had right there and through a phenomenal

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 4>game for us, just to keep us in it. Obviously

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 4>ended up winning this game, so it was good all around.

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>When you're facing a guy like McClain who's doing what

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>he's done in his young career, are you just hoping

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 2>to get that pitch count up and see who blinks first.

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean I've never faced him before. I've just watched

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.760
<v Speaker 4>him on TV and stuff and just some of our

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 4>scout report. But I mean he's a good picture, you know,

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 4>pitchball last year and he started off this year hot.

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 4>So we just try to grind out that bass, just

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 4>try and take what we could and just try and

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.559
<v Speaker 4>get to him. I mean, he threw a phenomenal game today,

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 4>but luckily we came out with the winner right there

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 4>at the end.

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 2>You're one of the best left candied hitters against the

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 2>left handed pitchers when you're facing Brooks, Really, what the

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>approach there? Are you just looking for a specific pitch

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 2>in the zone.

0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he's pretty over the plate for the most part.

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean he's a good pitcher, he's you know, had

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 4>a great career and he's doing a phenomenal job for them.

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 4>And I was just trying to get something over the

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 4>plate I could try and hit, and you know, luckily

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 4>enough it went over with shots head over a third

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 4>dropped in for a run right there. So worked out

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 4>well for us.

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 3>How did that moment feel at this stadium? Your first

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 3>big moment as a Dodger?

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>That was nice.

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, anytime you get a hit, especially when when

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 4>a ball games is huge, hopefully there's a lot more

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 4>of those come.

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 3>I think.

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>So, Tucker, don't let what everybody else says get into

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>your head.

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 3>You got a lot more season to go, yep, a

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 3>lot a lot more games ago. Thanks Tug, Thanks for

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:44.280
<v Speaker 3>stopping it.

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 4>Thanks appreciate it.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>There he goes, Kyle Tucker with a go ahead hit tonight.

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 2>And how about my guy Alex Vesia?

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 3>What up there? He is the man with the second save.

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Of the season, who did you point to at the

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:56.880

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 5>Uh, so I have tonight, my wife and I I've

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.880

<v Speaker 5>us through one of the you know, the hardest times

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 5>of our lives, and yeah, they were here tonight. There's

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:16.320

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.320

<v Speaker 7>Hey.

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.000
<v Speaker 3>We love alex Vesia.

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 2>LA's put their arms around him and his wife and

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.959
<v Speaker 2>certainly just a great start to the season for alex Vesia,

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 2>who still has not given up a run to begin

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>this year. Another scoreless sounding for alex Vesia. He now

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 2>has seven in a third scoreless innings this season, and

0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 2>has posted eight and a third scoreless innings going back

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 2>to last September in the regular season. Tonight, the Dodgers

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>pitching staff, with Yamamoto leading the way, had eleven strikeouts tonight.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the sixth time this year with eleven or more

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts of the opponents. So a great pitch night tonight

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>by the Dodgers, coming off a great start by Justin

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Robleski last night. Tonight, the Dodgers beat the Mets two

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 2>to one, coming off eight scoreless innings from Robleski last

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.319
<v Speaker 2>night to shut out the Mets fourd to nothing. New

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 2>York has only scored one run in their last twenty

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 2>nine innings. Let's go out to the phones for the

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 2>first time tonight. Let's hear the celebration of your Dodgers,

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 2>who are living up to the hype and the expectations themselves.

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Kent, you're on Dodger Talk. Lead us off.

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 8>Thanks breaking out here. Great to be on. We really

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 8>enjoy your show. And yeah they email it. You know

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 8>it was all the pitching performances were off the charts.

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 8>Is at the game and I driving home right now,

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 8>and I mean just got what we expected with from

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 8>the starter, but all the pitchers cross the board just

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 8>you know, pitch lights out the the uh, you know,

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 8>the batters of battling. But even Kyle at the main hit,

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.400
<v Speaker 8>you know he's fought off a good pitch. But you know,

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 8>my my indie point is you know, seeing Alex come

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 8>in in the ninth day for the Dodgers said that

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 8>he has it's what a great what a great death

0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 8>we have, you know, it's it's just so awesome to have.

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 8>You know, you got your your main gun to guy

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 8>out and you can count on a guy like Bessie

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 8>here to come in and shut him down. I mean,

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 8>he made them all like silly.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 3>You know, it was great, you really did.

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 2>And the one thing that I love and thank you

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 2>for the phone call, Ken is Alex Vessie actually was

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 2>our pregame yesterday and he echoed the same sentiments that

0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Kershaw used to talk about throughout his entire career. He

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>talked about going on the mound and maybe some nights

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>not having your best stuff or having the giddya up

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 2>on your fastball, but competing finding a way to get

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>through it. He actually told me yesterday maybe there were

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 2>three games all of last year where he came into

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>sixty something games during the regular season. He told me,

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 2>only three of them. Did he feel like he had

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 2>his perfect stuff tonight? He was throwing a lot of sliders.

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 2>The fastball velosity isn't as high as it will be

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>during the summer. He explained to me that traditionally April,

0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 2>the fastball velosity isn't there, and then it starts to

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 2>ramp up as the season rams up. But he competes,

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 2>he figures it out, finds a way to get three outs,

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>and that's what he did tonight, striking out the side

0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>in order, including getting Bob Bishett to strike out swinging

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>for the second out of that ninth inning. So just

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 2>a tremendous guy and just the evolution watching Vessia from

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 2>basically an unknown. When they made the trade with the

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Marlins sending Dylan Floral to Miami in twenty twenty one

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 2>after winning the World Series him having a big strikeout

0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>in the World Series of Randio Rose Arena, they trade

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Floral for an unknown left handed reliever, and it

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 2>was not a linear path for Alex Vessia. He was

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>sent down several times his first couple of years with

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers until he figured it out and now look

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 2>at him six years in three hundred and three appearances

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers, and he's one of the leaders of

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 2>that bullpen. And remember in twenty twenty four they had

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 2>the Moniker, the nickname of the bullpen dogs. He embodies

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 2>all of that to this day, and so does Blake Trinon,

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>who you know, he was much maligned last year.

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Look at him now.

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>He's bounced back and certainly wants to prove a lot

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 2>of doubt is wrong as well. Let's go back out

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>to the phones, Eric in Hollywood, you're on Dodger Talk.

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.719
<v Speaker 2>How you doing, Eric, God?

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 9>Jered dig Sure, Oh, back to back. Chanion's looking good,

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 9>DV much loved to Rojas and his family. Man tough,

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 9>tough thing, but he's a warrior going out there in battling.

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 9>And you know, on the same aspect this year. Man,

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 9>you're all heart bro taking care of the staff at

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 9>the hospital. Man, love you brother. I mean, that's that's

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 9>a big shout out to him. What a tragic thing.

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 9>But he's making the best of it and he's got

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.079
<v Speaker 9>the biggest heart out there. And I think that we're

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 9>gonna ride that all the way through this this series.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 9>And U deVie, give me something, man, let me know

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 9>what's up with Tucker? My Dodger tex chain is just

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 9>not feeling them. Man, give me something, Man, let me

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 9>know that he's gonna turn this around. Let me know

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 9>that this is just a little hiccup.

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Well did you see him tonight? He drove in the

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>go ahead run in the eighth inning. He won the

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 2>game for them tonight offensively.

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:56.719
<v Speaker 6>Bro.

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 9>I'm his bro, I'm his biggest fan. I'm just waiting

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 9>for him to turn it around, you know what I.

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Mean, He'll turn it on. Don't worry.

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 2>It's early and Eric, I guarantee that your text chain

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.959
<v Speaker 2>will not remember anything that Kyle Tucker did in April

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 2>or May, as every player on this team is very

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 2>aware of. It's how you perform down the stretch and

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>into October. So you want to do well in April

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 2>and May. But if you if it's not as hot

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>as it will be in September and October, people won't

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:29.760
<v Speaker 2>remember any of this.

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 9>Oh Man, DV You know, Man, I am the biggest

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 9>worriest word and you always talk me off the ledge

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 9>all the time.

0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Bro.

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 9>So, But I believe in Tucker. Man, I like his game.

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 9>I just don't think this spotlight is bright in La. Man,

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 9>it's super bright. And I know you said he's not

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 9>going to have to put in a lot, but it's

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 9>bright on him. So I know it's going to be

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 9>a little bit till he turns it around.

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 6>But god, man, we look dv We look great.

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 9>But I'm not going to get out of hand yet.

0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.240
<v Speaker 9>And I'm saying anything crazy like blah blah blah, But

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 9>all I simply want to say is that we look fantastic.

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 9>The team was great, Okay, all.

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, Eric, I agree, best record in baseball without Mookie Betts,

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 2>without Tommy Edmond, without Brock Stewart, without Blake Snell, and

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Evan Phillips will be coming back in the second half

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 2>of the season. Take in inventory of all that, and look,

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 2>you know Tucker has gotten off to a slow start.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Is he pressing? Maybe a little.

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Bit, But I just feel like he hasn't got into

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 2>a good feel so far.

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 3>And it happens sometimes.

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>It happens at the beginning of the year, it'll happen

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.960
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the year, it'll happen at the

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 2>end of the year. But I know the Dodger players

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 2>that are in the same lineup with him have been

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.760
<v Speaker 2>impressed by the quality of that bats that he's had,

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.640
<v Speaker 2>and tonight we're talking about him on a night that

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 2>he drove in the go ahead run in the eighth inning.

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 3>And Eric brought up.

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas, who was spectacular all around last night. How

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>about him coming off the bench tonight for Hayesan Kim

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>against the lefty Brooks Raley, the World Series hero works

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a leadoff walk to get that inning going. Santiago Espinal

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>comes off the bench for Freeland and lays down a

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 2>perfect sacrifice bunt to get Rojas into scoring position, and

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>that puts the ball in Mendoza's court. To make a

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 2>decision on Otani. Are you gonna walk him or are

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 2>you gonna pitch to him? He decided to put up

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 2>four fingers. So he faced a guy in Tucker that

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:31.960
<v Speaker 2>is not hot right now, and Tucker made him pay

0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 2>for it. Give a gif Tucker all the credit because

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Brooks Raley has been pitching well for the Mets so

0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 2>far at the beginning of this year. Eight six six nine,

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>beat the Mets two to one. Blake trun in the win.

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vesia the say Brooks Raley, the lost Francisco Lindor

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 2>with the leadoff home run, and then after that, Yamamoto

0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 2>retired the next twenty in a row. If you're wondering

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>about Edwin Diaz, I meant at the beginning of the

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 2>show mention it during the Clubhouse show. If you were

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>paying attention earlier today, Diaz was throwing a bullpen session

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.399
<v Speaker 2>around four o'clock this afternoon, And when a relief pitcher

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 2>throws a bullpen session, he's not going to pitch that

0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>same night. So the trainers wanted to see it. From

0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 2>what I've been told, it came. It went well. So

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the proof will be if there's a safe situation tomorrow,

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 2>if Diaz is warming up in the bullpen to save

0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the game against his former team in the New York Mets.

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Eight six six seven two five seventy is the phone number.

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Tonight's game brought to you by Modello Modello the Mark

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 2>of a Fighter. We're gonna take a time out here

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>on Dodger Talk. When we continue, Jose Moto will check in. Plus,

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 2>we'll let you hear from Mooki Betts had a chance

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:54.439
<v Speaker 2>to catch up with Mooki Betts.

0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 3>We'll let you know about.

0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.919
<v Speaker 2>What's going on at first base as well. Who would

0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.280
<v Speaker 2>play for space if the Dodgers dare give Freddy Freeman

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 2>a day off? And also a former Dodger that is

<v Speaker 1>Left field, hit books out for ahead, Here's Rojas.

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 8>He scores and Kyle Tucker.

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:54.159
<v Speaker 10>Hun ties it.

0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.160
<v Speaker 2>King Tuck with his biggest hit as a Dodger. You're

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.800
<v Speaker 2>in the eighth inning with one out. He gives the

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers the lead two to one. That would be the

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 2>final score as the Dodgers win the first two games

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.120
<v Speaker 2>of the series against the struggling New York Mets. The

0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Mets have lost seven in a row and now I've

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 2>only scored one run in their last twenty nine innings,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Francisco Lindor hit a leadoff home run that was the

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 2>only one the Mets got off of Yama Moto. As

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the two great starting pitchers tonight both got a no decision.

0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:34.679

<v Speaker 2>phone number. A game that only took two hours and

0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:01.119
<v Speaker 2>three minutes. The last time the dodg had that short

0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:04.879
<v Speaker 2>of a game was against the Rays on August twenty fifth,

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty four. The Dodgers beat Tampa Bay that night

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 2>three to one. That game also two hours and three minutes,

0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.000
<v Speaker 2>a night that Gavin Stone took the mound for the Dodgers.

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to shamsee who was at the game tonight?

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Hi Shamsee, You're on Dodger Talk.

<v Speaker 2>I mean everybody asks me that, sham See, and I say,

<v Speaker 2>back to back World Series wins. I mean, who has

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.439
<v Speaker 2>a better job or life than I have?

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:42.240
<v Speaker 3>These days?

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 7>I really don't think anyone. I think you got the

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 7>best one. But yeah, I was at the game last

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.480
<v Speaker 7>or tonight. It's my birthday tomorrow, and I was like, ah,

0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 7>last minute, I'll buy a ticket, and my friend was

0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 7>down to go with me.

0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 9>Hey Lily, and yeah, it was incredible.

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 7>I wasn't expecting, uh pictures. Yama was pitching, but I

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 7>didn't know it was going to be this closet. And

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 7>I'm so grateful because I love a pitcher's duel. So

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 7>it was fantastic and I'm so glad I got to

0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 7>see Ves. Yeah, with everything he's been there, he's been

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 7>one of my favorite players since he got started with

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 7>the Dodgers, and I'm just really glad to see him

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 7>doing well with everything going on. And yeah, it was

0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 7>really great.

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 2>So, uh, now you know who Nolan McClain is, right,

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 2>sham See, I think you'll know who Nolan McLain is

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the rest of the season.

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.520
<v Speaker 9>An amazing Yeah, he did an amazing job, but.

0:21:37.800 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 6>We were better.

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 7>So that's kind of the best outside looking forward to,

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 7>looking forward to future, you know, games against him, I'm

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:51.240
<v Speaker 7>sure they'll he'll be great for the Mets, but I'm

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 7>really I'm really proud of the Dodgers and I'm hoping

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 7>we go for that three piece.

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 2>So all right, can't wait to have you back at

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the ballpark, shamp See. Thanks a lot for and go Dodgers.

0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, go Dodgers.

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Dave, all right, Thanks SYAMSI thanks for calling in

0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:11.000
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. Hey, I feel like a lot of Dodger

0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>fans live in their Dodger World bubble and they don't

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 2>know that, you know, there's other good players on other teams,

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe not as many as on the Dodgers, but Nolan

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 2>McClain is probably the one shining star for the Mets

0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 2>right now, considering they've lost seven in a row, They're

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 2>now seven and eleven on the season. Juan Soto is

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.159
<v Speaker 2>not going to be back for them anytime soon, and

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers handed them their seventh straight loss, and their

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 2>offense has been abysmal to start the year. After letting

0:22:44.880 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Pete Alonso, a Mets fan favorite, go to Baltimore, trade

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Nimmo, who's hitting three sixty something to the Rangers

0:22:55.960 --> 0:23:00.439
<v Speaker 2>for an ag Marcus Simeon, who is I guess playing

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.240
<v Speaker 2>good defense at second base, even though he blew a

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 2>play last night.

0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 3>He just not the same guy either.

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>So you know, like I said last night, it's one

0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>thing to hype up this series with a billion dollars

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>of payroll between these two teams, But you look at

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers roster compared to the Mets roster, and you

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:24.240
<v Speaker 2>wonder where did that half billion dollars go? Where did

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:27.239
<v Speaker 2>the Mets? I'm looking for it. Where did they spend it?

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Tremmel, how much did they give him? Mark Vientos,

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 2>did they give him?

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 8>What?

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:38.399
<v Speaker 2>Fifty million? They just throw fifty million at anybody. Boba

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Schett forty million for one year after losing out on

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Tucker and losing out on Edwin dis Jorge polonco

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 2>A DH hitting one ninety two. I just I think

0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 2>there's a huge difference between the way these two organizations

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.960
<v Speaker 2>are run, and it's evident by the sustained success the

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers have had eight sixty six nine seven two five

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 2>seventy is the phone number coming up in a moment

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 2>you'll hear from Mookie Betts.

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>But first it's time to go around the horn with

0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Jose Mota.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 2>What a night for the Dodgers Jose Mota, Yama Moto

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:21.000
<v Speaker 2>versus Nolan McClain.

0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 3>It was a.

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Spectacular old school pitchers duel. How exciting was it for

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>you to call a game like tonight?

0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:33.119
<v Speaker 6>It's great day because it's so easy to call a

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:35.320
<v Speaker 6>game when you know it's eight to one and all

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 6>the offenses rolling and things like that. But I was

0:24:37.840 --> 0:24:40.160
<v Speaker 6>telling Louis in the broadcast, these are the games really

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 6>get the most out of us because you're anticipating either

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 6>a play or a non play being made a strategy

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 6>to win the ball game. Because these both of these

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 6>guys are on and you said it right, this was

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 6>the game to watch for baseball. These guys are going

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 6>to be around for a long time. And they pitched

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 6>very similarly. I mean, it was a porn with had

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 6>the assam amount of pitches out in the same amount

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 6>of benings. The stracoups were there just retiring the size

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.679
<v Speaker 6>in order one, two, three, and just also the efficiency

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 6>and how they spread the word with their with their

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:13.640
<v Speaker 6>pitches day it was like, oh he's fast aall away here.

0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 6>It is both very unpredictable and certainly executing, mainly down

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 6>in the zone, which is a throwback type of game,

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 6>and it really paid off for both of them.

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:29.360
<v Speaker 2>How about that split fingered fastball for Yamamoto tonight, eleven

0:25:29.560 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 2>swings and misses. He threw it thirty eight times tonight.

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 6>And the one thing where Yamamoto is that he found

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 6>out last season, as he was explaining to me, and

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 6>one of the pieces with him for your social is

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 6>he has to throw it hard day. He cannot let

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:47.959
<v Speaker 6>it fall like Sasaki does. He has to throw it

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 6>hard because he goes. I want my wrist to be loose.

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 6>Sometimes I throw its a little bit stiffer, but I

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 6>need to keep my arm speed the same for two reasons.

0:25:57.800 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 6>Number one is to not let up and not miss

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 6>by mcafic apathetical he is. Number two is so the

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.400
<v Speaker 6>hitters always reading one velocity with a arm, and it's

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 6>much harder to go out there and guess so at

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 6>ninety one when he you know, averages round, that's somebody's fastball.

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 6>Right there, but with dips at the very last minute,

0:26:16.320 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 6>it's very hard to go out there and barrels.

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us on Dodger Talk after the

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Mets two to one. Kyle Tucker, we

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 2>just got a call about when is he gonna snap

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:29.919
<v Speaker 2>out of it? I feel like you get a hit

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:32.480
<v Speaker 2>like you did in the eighth inning, all of a sudden,

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:34.720
<v Speaker 2>you're you're feeling a little more relaxed.

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Even if you're Kyle Tucker.

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh, you sleep so much better. There's a big weight

0:26:40.080 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 6>up your shoulders. This guy's gonna hit. I was talking

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:45.920
<v Speaker 6>to your friends today, you know, Fred Rogan and Roger Pete.

0:26:45.960 --> 0:26:48.640
<v Speaker 6>This guy's gonna find a way to get it done. Yeah,

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 6>your buddies, those guys. Yeah, and they're asking about is

0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:55.280
<v Speaker 6>it a person is it a pressure? I go, this

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.920
<v Speaker 6>guy has nothing to do with pressure of the contract.

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 6>He's not that type of guy. Okay, of course he

0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:04.399
<v Speaker 6>wants to do well, but he's simplify things by saying

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 6>things like, hey, I need to just kick the ball

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 6>up the middle a little bit more. Can slang it's

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 6>been streaky. I mean, really, one time is off the

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 6>end of the bat off the label. Well, you know what,

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 6>off the label usually gets you back to where you

0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 6>need to be, much easier than trying to cheat to

0:27:17.920 --> 0:27:20.280
<v Speaker 6>hit home muns. And that's one thing with him. It's

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.440
<v Speaker 6>not like he's having best winging because he's trying to

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 6>go deep. He just not pay in time all the time.

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 6>But you know what, he's the entire bat does a

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.040
<v Speaker 6>big basit against a left, against a guy that who

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 6>has been really good and for good like Tucker Day,

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 6>it's an easy decision obviously for the manager. No matter

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 6>who's hitting behind that guy like Shoe Hail Tani, you

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 6>gotta get beat by somebody else besides Utania. That situation

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 6>of per Tuck through the years, he has been very

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 6>very good against less than a relievers, let alone, let's

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 6>been the pitching in his career.

0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Well that's what makes the Dodgers lineup so tough to navigate.

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:56.639
<v Speaker 2>You pass on Otani, you got Tucker, You pass on Tucker,

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 2>You got Will Smith, you pass on Will Smith, you

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 2>got Fred Freeman. So there's nowhere to hide in that situation.

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 2>And I think you heard the difference in personalities. You

0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 2>have Alex Vessia pounding me really hard. On the chest

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 2>after Kyle Tucker walks up to me calmly and says,

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:14.440
<v Speaker 2>what's up.

0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 3>That was fun?

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean that that's the difference in contrast of how

0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:20.880
<v Speaker 2>two players that got it done go about it differently.

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 6>That's what it makes uh that you know that culture

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:25.920
<v Speaker 6>of the club hells and the many flags and many

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 6>languages and many everything there's there's talked them there about

0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 6>how it works, and think about the dollars and whis

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 6>in which they're winning days. It wasn't about this wending today.

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:37.959
<v Speaker 6>It was about competing against a very good pitcher. And

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.600
<v Speaker 6>the way you'd be good pitching is the same formula.

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:43.960
<v Speaker 6>You pitch well so your offense has a chance to

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 6>score in the very minimum and today the very first inning,

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:49.960
<v Speaker 6>that was your opportunity. And Freddie Freeman does one thing

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 6>he needed to do there, well play, and I was

0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 6>paid off. You see it's going first and not first

0:28:55.240 --> 0:28:57.360
<v Speaker 6>inning and matching up with Endor's home run.

0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Hey, doesn't get any easier. The Mets.

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers got the right guy on the mound tomorrow

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:04.920
<v Speaker 2>night to go for the sweep, a guy by the

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 2>name of show Heyo Tani. It should be a fun

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 2>night tomorrow night as well.

0:29:10.360 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 6>It should be the big kipch Moshi. You know one thing,

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 6>will Tani though, If somebody does well ahead of him

0:29:14.760 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 6>on the mat or home played, it's like I'm not

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:19.320
<v Speaker 6>gonna be out done, So look for sure to do

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 6>big things tomorrow. Hopefully goes out and give you seven

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 6>and keeps a bullpet aligned. So nice a right now

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 6>the way with guy's really spotting nice into their spots

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 6>out of the bullpen.

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 3>All right, Jose, we'll look forward to it tomorrow night.

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:34.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll see whether or not Edwin Diaz makes an appearance

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>as well, so we'll check in with you tomorrow night

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:38.720
<v Speaker 6>Of course, good.

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Night, there he goes Jose Mota, part of the Dodgers

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Spanish radio broadcast, And yeah, Otani has seen Robleski go

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 2>eight scoreless innings. He saw Yamamoto get into the eighth

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 2>inning tonight seven and two thirds innings. So on Jackie

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Robinson Day Show, Hey Otani on the national television stay

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 2>will be taking the mound against the Mets as.

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers look for the sweep. Now.

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Earlier today, Mookie Betts was going through some drills with

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:13.920
<v Speaker 2>strength and Conditioning coach Travis Smith, and after he was

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 2>done with that, nobody's really checked in with Mookie to

0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>see where he's at in the recovery of this oblique

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:24.719
<v Speaker 2>strain that was not supposed to be very serious. So

0:30:24.880 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to catch up with Mooki earlier today

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:29.479
<v Speaker 2>as he was coming off the field.

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 11>I'm able to throw run. I feel it, but it's

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 11>not that bad. Haven't started hitting yet, but we're doing

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 11>like medball throws. So we want to get fully comfortable

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 11>with like throwing the med ball and like not having

0:30:46.040 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 11>really any hesitation with that before we start swinging, just

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 11>because I don't want to start developing bad habits because

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:56.720
<v Speaker 11>I'm scared to swing, you know. So, But I mean,

0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 11>with all that being said, I mean things are great.

0:31:00.560 --> 0:31:02.640
<v Speaker 11>I mean, it's just an oblique and it's gonna take

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 11>It's gonna take time.

0:31:04.160 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Do you only do you feel it still in everyday

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 2>life or just in certain movements?

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:12.240
<v Speaker 11>No, just when I start doing like sports stuff. I mean,

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 11>you know, everyday life no is way better. And I

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 11>mean now it's now, I'm pretty normal. It's just when

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 11>I get here and I start having to do like

0:31:21.000 --> 0:31:23.959
<v Speaker 11>sports specific stuff is when I start feeling it. It's

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 11>not that it hurts. I mean, it's not that it hurts,

0:31:26.200 --> 0:31:28.880
<v Speaker 11>it's just that you feel it. And the more you

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 11>you don't really want to you don't want to feel it,

0:31:31.440 --> 0:31:33.720
<v Speaker 11>because the more you feel it, it's it's the means

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:37.600
<v Speaker 11>it's still healing, and any quick movements from there can

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 11>just re re injure it and then it's then run

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 11>a much worse spot.

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 2>And the Dodgers have the best record in baseball. They're

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 2>still rolling even without Mookie Bets in the lineup. They're

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 2>thirteen and four. No need to rush it, because, as

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, the bigger picture is in play here and

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 2>any sport, whether it's the NBA, the NFL, or Major

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:03.680
<v Speaker 2>League Baseball, oblique injury you want to be extra careful with,

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers are always on the more cautious side

0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 2>with any injury to any of their players. So it

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 2>doesn't seem like Mookie Betts is coming back anytime soon.

0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>And when I say soon, not on the upcoming road trip,

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 2>especially with the Dodgers playing four games for the first

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 2>time this year in Denver and then three games in

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:31.360
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco. They come back home, they keep playing thirteen

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 2>in a row.

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 3>After the day off.

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 2>They got thirteen in a row when they come off

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 2>that travel day to Denver. So let's see where it

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 2>sat after this road trip and whether or not he's

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>swinging a bat. When he's swinging a bat, that's an

0:32:46.920 --> 0:32:49.880
<v Speaker 2>inclination that he's getting close, but right now he's not.

0:32:50.560 --> 0:32:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Another observation from earlier today, Dalton Rushing and Santiago Espinal

0:32:56.800 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 2>were taking a lot of ground balls and.

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Throws at first base.

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 2>The reason why I bring that up is, like I

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 2>just mentioned, the Dodgers are going to Denver for four games,

0:33:08.440 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 2>not even just a three game series.

0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Four games.

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe the Dodgers are thinking, this is the time to

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:21.320
<v Speaker 2>give Freddie Freeman a day off right thirty six years old,

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 2>high altitude, give Dalton Rushing a chance to play first base.

0:33:26.120 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 2>He could catch, he could play first base. You get

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Freddie off his feed at the high altitude. That could

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:35.880
<v Speaker 2>be part of the thinking of seeing, really for the

0:33:35.920 --> 0:33:40.040
<v Speaker 2>first time all year long, Rushing and Espinal taken as

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:45.400
<v Speaker 2>many throws from other infielders keik Hernandez across the diamond

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:50.760
<v Speaker 2>to them taking ground balls. So I saw Rushing in Toronto,

0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, alternating with Freddie Freeman at first base as well,

0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and coming into the season, the Dodgers said that, yeah,

0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Rushing's other position will be first base. If there's a

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:04.200
<v Speaker 2>blowout or if they want to give Freddy a day off,

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 2>he would be the guy. So maybe that's coming around

0:34:08.400 --> 0:34:11.560
<v Speaker 2>on this upcoming road trip in a place that is

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 2>unforgiving with any little thing that you're feeling, or with

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:20.040
<v Speaker 2>guys that are thirty six, thirty seven years old, eight

0:34:20.160 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 2>six six nine eighty seven, two five seventy is the

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 2>phone number. Let's go out to uh our guy g

0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:27.399
<v Speaker 2>Man in Pasadena.

0:34:27.440 --> 0:34:28.799
<v Speaker 3>How you doing g Man.

<v Speaker 13>It's been a couple of weeks since we last talked,

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 13>so I want to talk about the game, but I

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 13>also have another Dodger nugget story for you. I don't know,

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:44.040
<v Speaker 13>I appreciate your enthusiasm of how well they're playing right now, but.

0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:45.880
<v Speaker 9>It's it's really just the beginning of the season.

0:34:46.520 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 13>I want them to be like bad men yet you

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:51.719
<v Speaker 13>know September.

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:51.960
<v Speaker 6>Not now.

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, they're not even playing their best baseball right now.

0:34:55.600 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 2>That's what's even more incredible.

0:34:58.360 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 13>I agree with you, I agree with do so. Anyways,

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 13>so my nugget last time I gave you.

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 2>And oh, yeah, you're the guy that said that he

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:10.520
<v Speaker 2>showed up at your friend's house and he signed an

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 2>autograph for you, and you wouldn't get into how he

0:35:12.840 --> 0:35:16.279
<v Speaker 2>got there. Yeah, is it like a part two to

0:35:16.400 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the story.

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 8>No, this is just a different story.

0:35:19.920 --> 0:35:21.920
<v Speaker 6>So you know Dot loves to play golf.

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:25.760
<v Speaker 13>Okay, you know Doc, you know you're a duc's member

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:27.320
<v Speaker 13>of now right, correct.

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, let's not get into this personal stuff. I'd

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.399
<v Speaker 2>rather just keep it on the field unless it's going

0:35:32.440 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 2>to be entertaining.

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:35.360
<v Speaker 13>Okay, no, no, But the cool thing is that I

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:38.760
<v Speaker 13>met Doc somewhere and he like, Hi, I'm Dave Roberts.

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 13>I'm like, of course, it's your Dave Roberts.

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:43.319
<v Speaker 12>He's just the nicest man.

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:44.920
<v Speaker 13>So anyway, that's that's it.

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:47.359
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:35:48.960 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 13>Well, yeah, I met him and it was great.

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:52.880
<v Speaker 8>He's just he was like, make you row.

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:54.399
<v Speaker 6>He's just the nicest guy.

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:56.239
<v Speaker 8>It's just unbelievable.

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:57.279
<v Speaker 12>These guys are just like.

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 13>Sports icons and they're just the nicest people.

0:36:02.640 --> 0:36:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's a good point to the story. Thank you,

0:36:05.880 --> 0:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>g Man, appreciate it. Can't wait for the next story.

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:12.359
<v Speaker 2>Wait a couple of more weeks eight sixty six nine

0:36:12.400 --> 0:36:15.319
<v Speaker 2>eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. I mean,

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts is a very accessible guy. And yeah, he

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:23.040
<v Speaker 2>when you meet him wherever you are, he's a great guy.

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 2>He'll definitely show you a lot of a lot of love.

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 2>He's not gonna blow you off at the golf course

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 2>or wherever else.

0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Especially the golf course.

0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 2>You can't blow anybody off of the golf course because

0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:37.719
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna see them at the next hole and then

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna see them later and later on in the day.

0:36:41.840 --> 0:36:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Even Barry Bonds might not do that. Maybe Bonds, but

0:36:45.360 --> 0:36:50.319
<v Speaker 2>that's it all right. Before we say goodnight, I have

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:53.320
<v Speaker 2>to give some love to our guy ken Lee Janssen,

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:56.920
<v Speaker 2>who is still the all time saves leader in Dodger

0:36:57.000 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 2>franchise history. He saved three hundred and fifty saves, three

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.479
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty games for the Dodgers. That's how many

0:37:05.520 --> 0:37:09.840
<v Speaker 2>saves Kenley Jansen had wearing a Dodger uniform. He was signed,

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 2>he was developed, he was converted from a catcher to

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:17.799
<v Speaker 2>a pitcher thanks to Charlie Huff, Kenny Howell, Rick Honeycut,

0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and then he turned into one of the best closers

0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:25.919
<v Speaker 2>of our generation. Tonight he passed Lee Smith for the

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:31.239
<v Speaker 2>third most saves in baseball history. Think about that. Ken

0:37:31.280 --> 0:37:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Lee Jansen now is behind Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman

0:37:37.120 --> 0:37:40.960
<v Speaker 2>for the third most saves in baseball history. He did

0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:45.640
<v Speaker 2>it tonight wearing a Tiger's uniform till out.

0:37:47.080 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 3>In the year straight.

0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 10>Away bye as Tarte Timers win. That's four in a

0:37:54.640 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 10>row and ken Ley Janssen is alone in third place

0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 10>in all time Major League saves.

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:10.960
<v Speaker 2>The Tigers beat the Royals two to one, and ken

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Lee Janssen saves his four hundred and seventy ninth career game,

0:38:15.880 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 2>passing Hall of Famer Lee Smith. That was Jason Bennetti

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:25.000
<v Speaker 2>on the Tigers Television network on the call, and I felt,

0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 2>especially towards the end of Kenley's career, he was sorely

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:32.560
<v Speaker 2>taken for granted. So many people thought his career was over.

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:35.360
<v Speaker 2>And I know he's pitched for a few different teams,

0:38:35.400 --> 0:38:38.840
<v Speaker 2>including the Tigers now after pitching for the Angels, he

0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 2>had a great year last year, had a better year

0:38:41.600 --> 0:38:45.440
<v Speaker 2>than Devin Williams last year and better year than Raycial

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:50.280
<v Speaker 2>and Glacias. And he pitched for the Braves, the Red Sox,

0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:54.040
<v Speaker 2>and now he's pitching for the Tigers, and people want

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 2>to believe that he's done or he just doesn't have it.

0:38:57.040 --> 0:39:00.680
<v Speaker 2>And here he is a four hundred and six nine

0:39:00.680 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 2>career saves. He's well on his way to achieving five

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred saves this year. Kenley Jansen on his way to

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Fame. And I don't know how he

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 2>goes into Cooperstown wearing any other hat than the LA

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:19.680
<v Speaker 2>on his hat for the Dodgers. After so many great moments,

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:22.640
<v Speaker 2>so many great years, and pitching more years with the

0:39:22.680 --> 0:39:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers than any other team, and having three hundred and

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 2>fifty saves, he is certainly.

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:29.920
<v Speaker 3>A Hall of Famer.

0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:34.439
<v Speaker 2>And congratulations to Kennley Jansen, who gave us so many

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 2>great moments with the Dodgers. Eight six six nine eight

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:40.719
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number. Dodgers beat

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 2>the Mets tonight two to one. Blake Trining gets the win,

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Alex Vesia his second save of the season as the

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers come back for the eighth time this year. That's

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:55.719
<v Speaker 2>the most in Major League Baseball this year. Eight comeback

0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 2>wins to beat the Mets two to one after Francisco

0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Lindor hit a hit a leadoff home run off of

0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Yama Moto. After that, Yama Moto did not budge, and

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers improved their record over the National League to

0:40:11.000 --> 0:40:13.359
<v Speaker 2>eight and oh, the Dodgers have not lost a game

0:40:13.400 --> 0:40:16.359
<v Speaker 2>to a National League team this year. Let's take one
