<v Speaker 2>Day, the Dodgers return home with a big win over

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale and the Atlanta Braves, defeating Atlanta three to

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 2>one and handing Chris Sale a rare loss this season.

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>with you until eleven thirty tonight. Eight sixty six nine

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 2>eight seven two five seventy is the phone number we

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 2>have phone lines. If you're always texting me, dming me, Oh,

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I can never get in. I'm always on hold. I

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>never can get in. The lines are busy. Well, tonight's

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 2>your night, and tonight's a great night to call in.

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Because after the Dodgers split a six game road trip

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>that had some ups and downs. Tonight, coming back and

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 2>facing maybe the best pitcher in the National League not

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>wearing a Dodger uniform in Chris Sale, and finding a

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>way to get timely hits to beat him. That's that's

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>significant and shouldn't be overlooked, even though it is a

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:43.039
<v Speaker 2>regular season game in May. You want to rise to

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the occasion against teams like this, the Dodgers, the Braves,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the Cubs, the three best teams in the National League,

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers facing the best pitcher this side of

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Otani Yamamoto and the rest of these Dodgers start and

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale and they beat him three to one. That's impressive,

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>especially considering the ups and downs and the inconsistencies of

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger offense. To get some timely hits against a

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 2>pitcher like Chris Sale, that's a big deal in a

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of different ways. Alex Vesia came in in another

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 2>big spot, riding off the high of being at Downy

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Hunday with us on off day Dodgered Talk yesterday, Vesia

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>came in in a huge spot in the game. Emmett

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Shehan was in a little bit of trouble, two outs,

0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.239
<v Speaker 2>runners at the corners, and Matt Olsen at the plate,

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>who is just crushing right handed pitching. So Dave Roberts

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to have she And face Olsen a third time.

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Despite him getting him out the first two times. There

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 2>was some hard hit balls against she Hin tonight. He

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>hung in there, but that just showed showed you the

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>way that Dave Roberts was managing this game. He was

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>managing it with urgency and he obviously felt like that

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:12.399
<v Speaker 2>was the game at that point, and rightfully so. At

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that point it was still a tide game, and you

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>have runners at the corners with the guy that's having

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 2>a great year, and especially a guy in Matt Olson,

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 2>a left handed power hitter that is just crushing right

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>handed pitching. So he brings in Alex Vesia, his best,

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 2>high leverage left handed reliever, and Vessia got him out,

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>got him to pop up to Max Munsey to end

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the inning. So that was huge, uh, And that was

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 2>that was a big That was a big point in

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the game. And from that point on, the Dodger bullpen

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>continued to put up zeros against the Braves and match

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale. The Braves only used two pitchers because Sale

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>went seven innings despite taking the loss. The Dodgers, after

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 2>taking and she Han out for Vessia, went to Kyle Hurt,

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Will Climb Brock Stewart and Tanner Scott. By the way,

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>after Vessia got that last out in the fifth inning,

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>he did not come back for the sixth inning. Kyle

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Hurt came in and started to get himself in a

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit of trouble, but he was able to get

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>himself out of trouble by getting a former Giant, mike Yastremski,

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>to strike out in the sixth inning with two men

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>on and two out to end the inning. That was

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 2>a nine pitch at bat Kyle Hurt versus mike Yastremsky,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 2>and Hurt was pumped up and that was another opportunity

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 2>by the Braves with runners on base that they were

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.799
<v Speaker 2>not able to cash in. In fact, the Braves left

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 2>ten men on base tonight, they were just one for

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 2>ten with runners in scoring position, while the Dodgers only

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 2>left three men on base. Not a lot of opportunities,

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 2>but when they got them, they advantage of them. Against

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale eight six eight seven two five seventy is

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Freddie Freeman starting to look like Freddy

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Freeman again, coming off a good road trip where he

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>hit three seventy five. He had nine hits on that

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>road trip, two of them were doubles. He has not

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 2>a homer since the Dodgers' first road trip in Toronto,

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 2>so he was stuck on ninety nine regular season home

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 2>runs as a Dodger since the first road trip of

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the year. In the sixth inning, he led off and

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.359
<v Speaker 2>hit a ninety seven fastball over the centerfield wall for

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>his one hundredth home run as a Dodger in the

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 2>regular season, and he did it off one of the

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>toughest left handed pitchers in baseball, in Chris Sale. We

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>caught up with Freddy after the game.

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely, in I would say in Houston, a lot

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 3>better swing decisions. Yeah, I made a little adjustment.

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>With my foot to.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Kind try and keep my right hippen a little bit more. So,

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, obviously results have been much better. Ball's been

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.640
<v Speaker 3>going to left field on the line. Even my misses

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 3>are a lot better. So we are trending in the

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 3>right direction. But this game is very hard, so you

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 3>never know what it could be like. Tomorrow.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 2>It seemed like you and show A the third time

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>around against Sale, you guys were looking to be aggressive

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>early in the count.

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, there's no adjustments you can really make

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 3>against Chris Sale, as to put a simple like, I

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 3>just still Kierson. To put it simple, as a left

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 3>handed hitter, you gotta be willing to die against Chris

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 3>Sale because he's throwing behind you, and so if you're

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 3>pulling out at all, you're gonna you don't really have

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 3>a chance. So you gotta stay in. And if you

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 3>stay in and he throws one up at your you

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 3>know he's thrown behind you. So in your mind, you

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 3>gotta be willing to die, is.

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>How I put it.

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 3>So I just kind of that was my course of action.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 3>He threw an oh strike for a slider, and I

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 3>was like, I can't hit that, so I'm still gonna

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 3>stay on the heater, and luckily he left one out

0:06:58.520 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 3>over and I was able to get one.

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>That was your one hundredth home run as a Dodger,

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 2>did you Yeah, we're even aware of that.

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 3>No, maybe that's why it took so long to hit

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:07.840
<v Speaker 3>one in the last month.

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>No, I did not.

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Obviously I'm not a big stat of home run tracker,

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 3>because I don't hit those as very often as my

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 3>other things. But I'm surprised you usually keep my stats

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 3>from me.

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>There it is one hundredth home run as a Dodger.

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, you never told me I had ninety nine, so

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 3>that's your fault. He told me I would have done

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 3>it a lot quicker than waiting a whole month.

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's on me.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it.

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 2>I love you laughing, I love you smiling, Freddy.

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 3>So hopefully we can continue that tomorrow.

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when Freddy Freeman gets hits, he's smiling, he's in

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.440
<v Speaker 2>a good mood, and he's gotten ten hits in his

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 2>last seven games, including a home run off of Chris Sale.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I've never heard that before, but it makes sense. You

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>got to be willing to die against Chris Sale if

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>you're a left handed hitter. And obviously Freddy hung in

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>there and took his life into his own hands facing

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale tonight and not pulling out. Tonight's game brought

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 2>to you by Modello Modello The Mark of a Fight.

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman and the Dodgers beat Chris Sale and the

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Braves tonight, three to one. Let's go out to Eddie,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 2>who is at the ballpark tonight. Hi Eddie, you're on

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk.

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 5>What's up DV?

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 6>If I could say a couple of quick things and

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 6>then get to my point, I wanted to say, it

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 6>was great running into Pete Montero before the game. He's

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 6>a great guy. He's been doing his thing with the

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 6>Dodgers for a while now and and we can't be

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 6>more proud of proud of him over here at Pacoyma

<v Speaker 6>to say DV real fast. The Dodgers showed up today.

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 6>It was a playoffs in May, but like they do

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 6>every time when a good team comes to town, they

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 6>show up.

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:45.920

<v Speaker 7>Hey David, good to talk to you man, Thanks for

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 7>taking the call. I just wanted to give a shout

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 7>out to I want to give a shout out to

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 7>Sian for stepping up today. You know, faith in a

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.599
<v Speaker 7>great pitcher like Sale. You know you're gonna have to

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 7>keep the other team down too, and I like did

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 7>a real good job holding them down, getting out of

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 7>trouble a couple of times, and then turn over to

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 7>the bullpen and just came in and then basically did

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 7>the same thing. So great, great, great performance by she

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 7>An once again.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I wouldn't say great. I mean that

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 2>word would be for a complete game, shutout, Alex. I

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>would say great for that. But he hung in there.

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 2>It was a solid start, eighty eight pitches, uh, and

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't even get through five innings. I still feel

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>like he's he's trying to get consistent with his fastball,

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 2>with his mechanics. But I'll tell you this, the Dodger

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.680
<v Speaker 2>bullpen is exceeding your expectations. I bet you might not

0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 2>want to admit it right here, but come on, Alex,

0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 2>come clean.

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, no, absolutely, they've been They've been a lot better

0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 7>than than last year. And yeah, you know, he still

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 7>held them just a one run. That's a pretty dynamic

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 7>offense over there. So even even for as little as

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 7>the time he was in there, he kept us in

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 7>the game and gave us a chance. And Bolton came

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 7>in and slammed the door.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.479
<v Speaker 9>So yeah, at.

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 2>For sure, it took everybody tonight to help the Dodgers

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 2>beat Chris sale in the Braves three to one. And

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.080
<v Speaker 2>it was a great night for Miguel Rojas, who was

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>being celebrated tonight with his bobble head uh a replica

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>of the swing the follow through swing of his game

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 2>tying home run in Game seven of the World Series.

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas has always played great defense. Tonight he got

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the started shortstop and him Teoscar Hernandez teamed up for

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>a huge relay throw in the fourth inning to get

0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.959
<v Speaker 2>Michael Harris the second on that Austin rally double the

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 2>left field. So give the Dodger defense a lot of credit.

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Espinal got the started second base tonight. They made a

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of nice plays, and the Dodger defense, which is

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 2>a big underrated part of this team again this year,

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.839
<v Speaker 2>is the best tops in every statistical category. And if

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.560
<v Speaker 2>you watch these games, they're making not only the routine plays,

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 2>but they're making even better plays with fundamental defense. And

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>certainly tonight was a great example of that. And I

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>don't see any other team as consistently as the Dodgers

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 2>when they come to town. When the team's on the road,

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.479
<v Speaker 2>you have Freddy Freeman, you have Rojas, you have Maximuncy.

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 2>When Mookie Beds is healthy, he's out there as well.

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>All the infielders are out there taking infield practice at

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 2>least once a series. And then you know, on the

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 2>last homestand the Dodgers had the outfielders throwing to bases.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>You don't see that. I don't see that. And that's

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 2>a big reason why you know, a relay play like

0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 2>tonight in the fourth inning looks routine because these guys

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>practice it. I don't see too many teams practicing that.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's go out to Torrance, Kate. You're on Dodger Talk

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>with David vasse Hi. Kate.

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 10>Oh, hey, I just want to give a shout out

0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 10>specifically the Kyle Hurt kind of the new guy, but

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 10>he's been great, so and also to give lots of

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.679
<v Speaker 10>good vibes to Snell for tomorrow night on his Bubble Night.

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'll be a great night for Blake Snell. He's ready.

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to him as he is getting ready to

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>make his debut. Snell was at that Will Smith comedy

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>show last night that Will Smith was hosting, and my

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.439
<v Speaker 2>understanding is that he and Andrew Friedman had a conversation

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>at that show and that's when the decision was made, Okay,

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 2>if we need you, let's have you start on Saturday.

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 2>And Snell wanted it. Snell wants it. He convinced Andrew

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Freeman he was ready to go, and instead of pitching

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>in Ontario or four Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga, he's going

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 2>to be on the big stage. And he's been very

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>eager for this, so he's ready and I think you're

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 2>going to see a good performance from Blake Snell tomorrow night.

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>And as far as Kyle Hurt goes, he's now pitched

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 2>ten innings, he's allowed just one earned run. He has

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 2>fourteen strikeouts and one walk, and that's pretty impressive. And

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you know he's been in low leverage situations, but tonight

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>he came in in the thick of the game and

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 2>got himself into some trouble, but was able to get

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 2>himself out of that trouble. So love Kyle Hurt. He's

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>a great guy and one of the few Trojans that

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>I like out there. Let's go out to Eileen who

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 2>is at Dodger Stadium tonight. Hi, Eileen, you're on Dodger.

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Talk my call.

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 11>I just wanted to give a shout out to McGee

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 11>row before the game. He was He stepped out onto

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 11>the field and you could just kind of fill the

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 11>emotion he spent, and he kind of took a moment.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 11>He almost felt like he was dedicating the game to

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 11>his dad, who had recently passed away at the beginning

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 11>of April.

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean, I'm sure you know Miggy is taking

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>in all of this because it may be his last

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>season playing Major League baseball, and tonight was a celebration

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 2>of one of the greatest moments of his career, probably

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the greatest moment of his career, and certainly a historic

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 2>home run in Dodger history, in baseball history. And he

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>came out twenty minutes before first pitch for stretch. That

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 2>just shows you, Eileen, he was out here to take

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>it all in.

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, it was a beautiful moment and I'm glad he

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 11>had a good game.

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so too. It was unfortunate that he

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 2>had to leave the game in the eighth inning because

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>he told reporters that he slipped around the home played

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 2>area in his first that bat and that kind of

0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 2>tweaked his left hip, and then when he was sliding

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.080
<v Speaker 2>into second base and the fifth inning on the overthrow,

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 2>he kind of felt a dead leg sensation on his

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 2>left side and that was the reason why he came out.

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>But all in all, a really good night for Miguel Rojas.

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>And he spoke to reporters on Sports net LA after

0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was pretty cool.

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful.

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 5>For for this fan base, for the whole community. I

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 5>think they they did something to me that I never

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 5>felt and in my career before. Like we were talking

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 5>about early in the end of the day. Uh, I know,

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 5>I hit the homer in Canada and I could received

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.960
<v Speaker 5>the law from from everybody through social media, to messages

0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 5>and videos and all that. But today was really cool

0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 5>just for me to go out there and stretch and

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 5>and hear the loud ovation just because of uh, they

0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 5>were so happy to see me and kind of like

0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.360
<v Speaker 5>celebrate me u on this day. It was pretty cool

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 5>And this one is going to be top three moments

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 5>of my my life in a baseball.

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Game, Christill.

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 10>Obviously not an easy picture to face, but how did

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 10>you just see this team not only just kind of

0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 10>make some adjustments but find ways to attack when there

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 10>were errors of mistakes?

0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it was.

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.320
<v Speaker 5>It was really good to see the whole team kind

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 5>of like luck and in for a really good picture

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 5>that he's been training the world really well for a

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 5>long time and uh being able to to do whatever

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.000
<v Speaker 5>we need to do to win the game. Obviously, the

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 5>Boopen did an amazing job. And I think this team

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 5>is always find a way to kind of like step

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 5>up to the to the moments where we needed the most,

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 5>and that's what we did today. Again, we want we

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.160
<v Speaker 5>won a really good baseball game. Looking forward to win

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 5>this year some more.

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and hopefully Miguel rowhas And thanks to sports net

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 2>LA for bringing us a portion of his postgame comments.

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 2>You just hope Miguel Rojas and his left hip are

0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 2>okay tomorrow. The good news is, you know, the Dodgers

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.960
<v Speaker 2>have enough depth to be able to cover it. If

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 2>he needs a day or two off where he doesn't

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.400
<v Speaker 2>need to start, you could have Freelin and Kim, who

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>they've been starting as their double play combination quite a

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 2>bit ever since Mookie Bets went on the IL. And

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 2>then speaking of Mooki Bets, Mookie Betts was making his

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 2>first rehab assignment appearance tonight for Oklahoma City. He went

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.400
<v Speaker 2>one for three starting at shortstop, and Keith k Hernandez

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 2>was playing in that game as well. He was zero

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>for threes starting at third base, and Dave Roberts joined

0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>us on Dodger Talk yesterday. He made a surprise phone

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 2>call to Dodger Talk and while he was with us,

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I had a chance to ask him about what the

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 2>plan is for Mookie Bets. We will share that with

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 2>you right around the corner as we're going to take

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 2>our first time out here on Dodger Talk. When we

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.200
<v Speaker 2>come back, you'll hear from Dave Roberts about the plan

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 2>for Mookie Bets and when he may return. Also well,

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.560
<v Speaker 2>check in with Jose Mota. After the Dodgers beat the

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Shakes off the catcher. It'll be the first time Freddie

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Swings hits a drive to center field and teeth this.

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Paul heading back at USK got a home run Freddie

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Freeman with a solo shot, his fourth of the season,

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:42.159
<v Speaker 2>and the Dodgers lead at three to one. Oh fastball

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 2>left middle middle and Freddie didn't miss it, No, he

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 2>did not. That was leading off the sixth inning. That

0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 2>home run when an estimated four hundred and thirteen feet

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:59.359
<v Speaker 2>for Freddy Freeman's one hundredth home run as a Dodger

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.720

<v Speaker 2>two five seventy. I mentioned before we first took our

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 2>first time out that Mookie Betts went one for three

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 2>in what is expected to be the first of just

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.639
<v Speaker 2>two games he is going to play at Oklahoma City.

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>He's expected to play again tomorrow and then well, Dave

0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Roberts filled us in yesterday on off day Dodger Talk

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.320
<v Speaker 2>when he made a surprise phone call.

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 8>Absolutely you know if he's gonna go on his rehab assignment.

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 8>So that's exciting for all Dodgers. So he the plan

0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 8>is if if it goes well, he'll be back joining

0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:01.240
<v Speaker 8>us on Monday night. So the hope is that we

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 8>get him for three out of those four games against

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 8>the hated Giants.

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, So that was Dave Roberts calling in to

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Talk. We had our off day show from the

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.520
<v Speaker 2>downy Hunday showroom. Alex Vesi has stopped by. Dave Roberts

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 2>called in and in case you missed that show, you

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.719
<v Speaker 2>can find it on the iHeartRadio app. So Mookie Betts

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 2>seem to be all smiles by all the videos I

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.199
<v Speaker 2>saw online, so that's a good sign. He's expected to

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.919
<v Speaker 2>play again tomorrow, have a day off on Sunday, return

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to LA And you just heard it right there from

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger manager that Mookie Betts, if all goes well,

0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.359
<v Speaker 2>is going to be back in the Dodgers lineup on

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Monday against the San Francisco Giants. And that's the start

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 2>of a four game series between the Dodgers and Giants

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to close out this seven game homestand Monday night is

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Replica Trophy Night here at Dodgers Stadium. So that would

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 2>be great to get Mookie Bets back because the Dodgers

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.919
<v Speaker 2>certainly need more production from their right handed hitters not

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 2>named Andy pa has certainly Will Smith and Taoscar Hernandez

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 2>have had a little bit of a slow start to

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the year. So to get Mookie Bets back, that will

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.560
<v Speaker 2>be a huge boost to the Dodger lineup and another

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.479
<v Speaker 2>option in case the Dodgers decide on the days that

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Otani pitches that they may want somebody else leading off,

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 2>especially on the days that O'tani is not in the

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.640
<v Speaker 2>starting lineup. Each of the last two times that's occurred,

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers had Dalton rushing DH and lead off and

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Mookie Betts coming back certainly is a great leadoff option,

0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:47.359
<v Speaker 2>considering he's one of the greatest leadoff hitters of the

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 2>last twenty five years, maybe in baseball history when he

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 2>was at when he's with the Boston Red Sox, and

0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 2>up until the Dodgers made the flip to have Otani

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.840
<v Speaker 2>lead off a couple of years ago. I celebrate ninety

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:04.200

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>It's time to go around the horn with Jose Mota.

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.040
<v Speaker 2>What a Mota night at Dodgers Stadium. Not only do

0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.199
<v Speaker 2>I get to see Jose on a nightly basis, I

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 2>got to see his legendary father and his beautiful wife

0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 2>in the house tonight at the press box. So wow,

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I really got a full dose of the Mota family tonight.

0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 9>Man, you're pretty international, I heard too makes some Japanese. Yeah, yes,

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.560
<v Speaker 9>you're well known to Japan two day, so I'm so happy.

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:48.959
<v Speaker 2>I do have to say thank you to you and

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 2>your pops for gifting me an extra. Kenley Jansen Dodgers

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 2>home jersey and that was really special. So I appreciate

0:22:58.000 --> 0:22:59.919
<v Speaker 2>you cleaning out the price closet for me.

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:02.520
<v Speaker 9>I think there's like two of you that can fid

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 9>in that thing's I could size sixty or something like that.

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 9>Nothing against Kenley, but so he's a big boy.

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 2>He loves seeing a photo of your dad holding up

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 2>that jersey. So even though he's in Detroit, you know

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 2>his heart is all blue.

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 10>Oh yes, always forever.

0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Jose, you got a front row seat to the

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers on this road trip. What we saw tonight was

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.560
<v Speaker 2>more of what we expect from this offense. To have

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 2>some timely hits and to beat Chris Sale. That is

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 2>a tall order, and the Dodgers did it tonight.

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 9>Disco was pretty unhittable. Every single pitch of the throws

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 9>coming into tonight was being hit under two hundred. You

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:45.960
<v Speaker 9>don't gotta have a lot of success against them with

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 9>bigger swings. What I like the most is did they

0:23:49.400 --> 0:23:52.800
<v Speaker 9>make nice adjustments when they needed to. We saw the

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 9>battles with Kyle Tucker and the bats. Max Bussey sold

0:23:56.800 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 9>and that's his pictures of the night. But overall, the

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 9>one thing you have to do to beat good pitching

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 9>his pitch well and emmachion. Even though he did not

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 9>finish the task the way he wanted to, gave the

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.760
<v Speaker 9>team a chance along with a bullpen. And in terms

0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 9>of the swings too, Dave. You know, you know going

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 9>through that stretch where you get a little bit dry

0:24:15.480 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 9>and making, you know, trying to create something, but there's nothing.

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 9>There's very little traffic on the basis and when there raise,

0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 9>you take bigger swings to strike out. It all leads

0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 9>to what they did tonight. I mean last two days,

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 9>the last two times they faced a guy like Chris Sale,

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 9>which is over a year ago about your stadium, and

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 9>tonight they've done exactly what they need to do is

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:37.919
<v Speaker 9>capitalize on the smaller moments, take your best swing, make

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.440
<v Speaker 9>the best deficions, and that's why they looked game here tonight.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman had nine hits on the last road trip,

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:46.679
<v Speaker 2>but he only had two extra base hits and they

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 2>were both doubles. To see him hint ninety seven off

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale over the center field wall. That gives you

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of hope that you know, Freddy Freeman

0:24:58.440 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 2>is far from over.

0:25:00.760 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 9>Oh Freddy is. I mean, he's such a great hitter.

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 9>Makes it just he's very honest with everybody, including you

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:09.199
<v Speaker 9>the fans, on how he feels, because he wants to

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:10.879
<v Speaker 9>make sure that the assessment is good and he's not

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 9>fooling himself thinking about I'm getting assisted on fine, No,

0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 9>I mean a long run. This was the main of

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 9>Hall of Famer. He wants to make sure that everything

0:25:18.359 --> 0:25:20.560
<v Speaker 9>is lined up correctly. And the one thing that happened

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 9>today too, that you know Freddy's always told me is

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.360
<v Speaker 9>sometimes when he's lost like that and schirtling the baseball,

0:25:26.680 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 9>a tough lefty is the formula to get him straightened out.

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:33.400
<v Speaker 9>And you figure, well, tough lefty, well yeah, because he's

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:35.920
<v Speaker 9>he knows he's got to simplify it against gull like Crsale,

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 9>He's gonna challenge you. And the same time, if you

0:25:38.800 --> 0:25:41.240
<v Speaker 9>spread your wings a little bit too much and spread

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 9>the zone, you're gonna get into a big trouble. I

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.080
<v Speaker 9>think the mentality that he takes the games a guy

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 9>like Chris Sale is the one that you know, what

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.440
<v Speaker 9>if I do less is better because he's gonna provide

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 9>the power with the fastball. We saw ninety eight today.

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:55.399
<v Speaker 9>He's gonna be around his zone. He's gonna make good pitches.

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:59.160
<v Speaker 9>But Freddy is is he told you a little toe

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 9>tap or you know, turn the toe a little bit

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 9>more is just enough to get that hit straight out

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.160
<v Speaker 9>and hopefully she'll keep it for a long time.

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I know a lot of people are trying to

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 2>compare it to Corey Seger. Corey Seger would turn his

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:15.160
<v Speaker 2>front foot all the way towards his back foot. That exaggerated.

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman's not doing that. It's just a little bit

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:22.080
<v Speaker 2>of the toe being pointed backwards or or not parallel

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 2>to the Dodger dugout.

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:27.159
<v Speaker 9>Whatever it takes. I mean, look at Max Munsey what

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 9>he did in the World Series. Treya Savage phrases him

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.920
<v Speaker 9>again in relief, and he already had that toe turned

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 9>in guardian against everything you're saying closed and they get

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 9>a big holdmun because of things like that. So so guy,

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 9>they've done it for a long time that you find

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 9>little things that they do. They're not afraid of, not

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:45.639
<v Speaker 9>so much changing but adjusting, and have a certain plates

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 9>of reminders to trigger whatever they need to do to

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 9>have success.

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Jose Mota is joining us on Dodger Talk after the

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers beat the Braves and Chris Sale three to one

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:59.679
<v Speaker 2>tonight at Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium, Jose. It feels

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 2>like we just take it for granted when there are

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:07.640
<v Speaker 2>no mistakes. And the Dodger defense, I mentioned this earlier.

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.879
<v Speaker 2>No matter what stat you want to look at, the

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodger defense is tops in Major League Baseball, and we

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 2>saw a perfect example of that in the fourth inning.

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 2>They cut down another run at the play tonight thanks

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 2>to a great relay from ta Oscar Hernandez to Miguel

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Rojas and Will Smith. How big has the defense been

0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 2>to them being ten games above five hundred.

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 9>I think it's an overlooked and Dave Robertson I had

0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:36.480
<v Speaker 9>this conversation this past road chap because everything about the offense.

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 9>Now you're pitching starter, yell a molto, etcetera. Ce but

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 9>the defense has to give the pitchers a chance to

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 9>take a breathe and look behind them and say, you

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 9>know what, I'm not striking people out, but I have

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 9>defense behind me. Dave ed Roll really relates to your

0:27:50.160 --> 0:27:53.640
<v Speaker 9>pitch selection. When you're throwing strikes, you make your defense better.

0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:55.880
<v Speaker 9>You stay active, you're not walking people in defense gets

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:58.160
<v Speaker 9>a little bit better too. And then, as he mentioned,

0:27:58.160 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 9>with the coaches, they put their work in everything to

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:05.600
<v Speaker 9>make sure that the minimum instrumentals is being respected and applied,

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 9>from throwing to the basis, from getting out their early

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:12.159
<v Speaker 9>into snow like all Rojas and we saw you know,

0:28:12.240 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 9>Freddie Freeman and Denver in all manners. And a lot

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 9>of times when you know fans get to the stadium,

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:20.600
<v Speaker 9>they're like, what are these drills are doing? Look like

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 9>they're like Little League drills. Well they are, but they're not.

0:28:23.640 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 9>It's all about repetitions that memory your back to say

0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 9>I can do this. I have to know what I

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 9>have to do with my love needs to be more

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 9>arm used to be and being able to just anticipate places.

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 9>And they do very much top positioning. But also you

0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 9>have good athletes. They know how to execute and they

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:40.840
<v Speaker 9>know how to do the basic which is play catch

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 9>as they did tonight.

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, Jose, thanks a lot for checking in tonight.

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow will be a huge Saturday snail Zilla Saturday, as

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Blake's now will make his season debut tomorrow.

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 9>Looking forward to that, he needs to come and stay

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 9>and go out there and show everybody why he is here.

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no doubt. It'll be a great match up. Not

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:03.360
<v Speaker 2>an easy task to go up against this Braves lineup

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 2>in your first start, but he's certainly ready for it

0:29:06.080 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 2>and look forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot for checking in.

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 9>Send me a picture of a pajama today.

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he sounds good. Thanks Thanksjse. There he goes Jose Mota,

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:21.160
<v Speaker 2>part of the Dodgers Spanish radio broadcast. Not sure about

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.360
<v Speaker 2>the pajamas, but I'm not doing that. I don't know

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 2>what he meant anyway, but appreciate Jose and his pops

0:29:30.440 --> 0:29:33.520
<v Speaker 2>kicking me down one of those seventy four jerseys they had.

0:29:33.560 --> 0:29:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that eight six six seven two five seventy

0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.320
<v Speaker 2>is the phone number. Alex Vessi gets the winning relief

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Scott the save, his third of the season for

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Miguel Rojas. Like I mentioned, I want to hear from

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 2>him uh after the game, because he did come out

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:54.040
<v Speaker 2>with a left hip issue. Let's head downstairs again. We

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>were able to clip it, uh to hear what Miguel

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:00.120
<v Speaker 2>had to say about how much that left hip is

0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 2>bothering him in.

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:03.120
<v Speaker 5>The first sitting when I when I hit the ball,

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 5>I kind of sleep a little bit off the of

0:30:04.880 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 5>the box and I felt a little something on my

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 5>leg and then when I got hit a second base

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 5>on the doll play ball kind of have like a

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 5>dead a dead legs and sensions. So anyways, Dog told

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:17.960
<v Speaker 5>me that I was going to get one more back

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.240
<v Speaker 5>against Sale and I was going to get out of

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.240
<v Speaker 5>the game to get some prink and I should be

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 5>fine for the rest of the week.

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, Great to hear that. Great to hear that

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 2>he'll be okay. So appreciate that. As the Dodgers beat

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 2>the Braves three to one, eight six six nine eight

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 2>seven two five seventy is the phone number, the Dodgers

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 2>will have Blake Snell on the mound tomorrow, which is

0:30:43.400 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 2>a good thing because he's a two time cy Young

0:30:46.320 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Award winner. He's a difference maker. And all this talk

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>about who's the odd man out when Blake Snell returns,

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 2>is it Shehn, is it Robleski? Is it Rokie? Well

0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 2>that's a moot conversation at this point. Can considering Glass

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 2>now is on the il and he's gonna be on

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:08.040
<v Speaker 2>it for fifteen days. Blake Snell returns tomorrow, so status

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 2>quo here, and it looks like Roki Sasaki has been

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 2>bumped to Monday against the Giants. So in a lot

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 2>of ways, Blake Snell's willingness to come back and pitch

0:31:17.960 --> 0:31:21.200
<v Speaker 2>against the Braves helps the Dodgers out. It's a better

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 2>matchup for Snell to go up against the Braves than

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 2>it would be for Roki Sasaki to go up against

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 2>the Braves, an easier matchup for Roki on Monday against

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 2>the Giants. So Snell's having an effect on two games

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 2>by him being willing to, you know, forego his last

0:31:39.480 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 2>rehab start to be able to pitch in the big

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.800
<v Speaker 2>leagues and make his season debut tomorrow. So that's a

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 2>good thing. Eight six six seven two five seventy is

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Dodgers beat the Braves three to one.

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:55.120
<v Speaker 2>By the way, tomorrow night is Blake Snell Bobblehead night.

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>Nobody planned it that way, but that's the way it's

0:31:57.920 --> 0:32:00.840
<v Speaker 2>lined up. As the Dodgers had an make a decision

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 2>knowing that there was a very good chance they were

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>going to have to do what they did and place

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Glass now on the il that means Blake Snell. His

0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 2>willingness to want to come back just shows you how

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 2>much he wants to pitch this season and not look

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 2>back after starting the season a little delayed. Let's go

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:25.320
<v Speaker 2>out to Brentwood Sherwin. You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Sherwin.

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing well in yourself, mister Vassay, tremendous. I'm glad

0:32:33.280 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 4>to hear it. Two things. One you're gonna like, one

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:39.920
<v Speaker 4>you may not like. But I'm gonna throw it up

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 4>at you. I thought the adulation you gave to Freddie

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Freeman tonight was terrific. I've been around for a cup

0:32:48.360 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 4>of tea a few times in my lifetime. He's one

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:55.560
<v Speaker 4>of the best hitters I've ever seen, and I've been

0:32:55.600 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 4>going back to with baseball probably fifty sixty years, and

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I think he is close to the top of one

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 4>of the best hitters that I've ever seen, Freddie Freeman.

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:10.640
<v Speaker 4>So I was very glad you threw him a lot

0:33:10.640 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 4>of flowers tonight. I was not happy that you ripped

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 4>him apart when he first joined the Dodgers, and he

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:23.400
<v Speaker 4>was very emotional and he let it all out with tears.

0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.400
<v Speaker 4>And so forth, and you were very cruel to him

0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 4>at the time. And I won't forget that last thing.

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 4>I've got to say.

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I don't know, I okay, okay, what else you got?

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:35.160
<v Speaker 9>Sure?

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, but man, you're a longtime listener. You're going all

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the way back to his first year with the Dodgers.

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that.

0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Old in a minute, your your buddy, Brad Paisley. You're

0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 4>aware of what NBC did for him tonight.

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not. I was at the game.

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 4>Well, okay, I figured as much. NBC gave about a

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 4>four or five minute deal at the end of their

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 4>newscast tonight, and it was about a great American. They're

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:10.360
<v Speaker 4>taking an American from now until the July fourth holiday,

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 4>and they're celebrating the great Americans, so forth and so on.

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Tonight it was Brad Paisley, and it was really touching.

0:34:19.920 --> 0:34:22.600
<v Speaker 4>And I was thinking about you when they showed that

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 4>thing tonight. So I don't know how you would get

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 4>a hold of that video, but try to get it.

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 4>But he was beautiful tonight, Brad Paisley. So that's all

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:36.839
<v Speaker 4>I want to say. Goodnight, mister Vesay, all.

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, Sherwin Man you were a oil listener. You know

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:43.400
<v Speaker 2>about Brad Paisley. You've been listening since Freddie Freeman first

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:45.759
<v Speaker 2>came from the Dodgers and the Braves. I remember that.

0:34:45.880 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 2>It was a tearful press conference return to Atlanta. I

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 2>remember that. But yeah, obviously Freddie Freeman now is entrenched

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 2>with the Dodgers. And I would venture to say, if

0:34:58.120 --> 0:35:02.439
<v Speaker 2>Freddie Freeman, if his career ended tomorrow, and if there

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 2>was a world where he would be inducted into the

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Baseball Hall of Fame the day after, what team would

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>he pick to have on his hat? Would it be

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the Braves or would it be the Dodgers. If you

0:35:15.880 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 2>would have told me the year that he left the

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:20.839
<v Speaker 2>Braves and came to the Dodgers, I would say it's

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Slamdunk. But now I would say it would be

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:29.160
<v Speaker 2>either no logo on his cap, on his plaque in Cooperstown,

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 2>or I would say, you know what, the Dodgers may

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 2>have more of a chance than you would have thought,

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:39.440
<v Speaker 2>because his two signature moments of his career are in

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:42.879
<v Speaker 2>a Dodger uniform on the biggest stage and winning back

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 2>to back championships. So I would say right now, because

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 2>of how much you know Atlanta and the Braves meant

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:53.160
<v Speaker 2>to him, and obviously how much the Dodgers mean to

0:35:53.239 --> 0:35:56.439
<v Speaker 2>him now and the moments he's had here. I would say,

0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:00.279
<v Speaker 2>when Freddie Freeman goes into Cooperstown, he won't have a

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 2>logo on his hat. I think Greg Maddox also did

0:36:03.239 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 2>not have a logo on his hat, so I feel

0:36:05.120 --> 0:36:08.320
<v Speaker 2>like Freddie Freeman would be in that category as well.

0:36:08.680 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 2>All Right, that'll do it for us. On Dodger Talk tonight,

0:36:12.360 --> 0:36:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell is on the mound tomorrow. The two time

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Cy Young Award winner is making his first start of

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:19.919
<v Speaker 2>the year. I would expect him to go at least

0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:23.560
<v Speaker 2>five innings tomorrow, going up against Spencer Stryder, who's making

0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:27.359
<v Speaker 2>only his second start of the year. Strider was on

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the il with an oblique strain in his first start

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 2>five days ago. He went three and a third gave

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:37.120
<v Speaker 2>up three earned runs. So Blake Snell making his first

0:36:37.120 --> 0:36:39.920
<v Speaker 2>start of the year, going up against Spencer Strider, who's

0:36:39.920 --> 0:36:43.440
<v Speaker 2>making just his second start of the year on stage

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:47.360
<v Speaker 2>at Uniclo Field at Dodgers Stadium tomorrow night. Our coverage

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:51.200
