WEBVTT - Dodger Talk Game 2 (7-19-26) 

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

0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:08.639
<v Speaker 2>three consecutive titles.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 3>The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth fifth.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>This is world Champion Dodger Talk.

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 4>Here we go again.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 5>We get right running back.

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>To get in on the show called eight six six

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.040

<v Speaker 1>follow Dodger Talk wherever you catch your podcasts. And now

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>your host, here's Tim kakes Well.

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers SAIV a mixed day in the Bronx. A

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 2>day night double header saw them when the first one

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 2>eight to two, plenty of offense. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was fantastic

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 2>for a complete game, four hitter. He gets the win,

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 2>his tenth of the year, and the Dodgers come back

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 2>in the nightcap. It was gonna be tough with the

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 2>bullpen game, but the Yankees were going with the bullpen

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>game as well, and the Dodgers offensively. He just mustered

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>four hits the entire game, not a lot of traffic

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>on the base pass look like a tired team that

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>was played in the second game of a day night doubleheader,

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 2>and the credit of the Dodgers bullpen kept him in

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>the game really the entire time. Even though the Evan

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Phillips solo home run gave the Yankees a two to

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 2>one lead, is Dodgers still came up in the ninth

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>inning with a chance to do something and just could

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 2>not get to David Bednar. The Dodgers tonight again mustered

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 2>only four hits. They had back to back hits in

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the third. They had a Miguel Rojas hit midway through

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the game, and then Tommy Evans pinch hit solo home

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>run was the fourth and final hit of the game.

0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 5>It tied the game at one.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Again a low scoring affair, It was one nothing until

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>the eighth before both teams scored and the Yankees hang

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>on a win by a final of two to one,

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>but overall, still really an impressive weekend for the Dodgers,

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 2>winning two of three. You're gonna look at the numbers,

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I know, and say, what has happened to Andy Pajez,

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>What happened to Mookie Betts who did not have a

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>hit in this series. Freddie Freeman struggled but despite getting

0:01:56.160 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>on base with some walks, Yeah, the collective heart of

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the lineup didn't have a great series per se collectively,

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>but the Dodgers still won two to three and lose

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>a one run game on Sunday Night. Baseball says a

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 2>lot about what this team it can do despite not

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>having a lot of run production from the guys who

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>are supposed to be driving in the runs, the Pajezes,

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 2>the Freeman's, the Mookie Betts, who was zero for four

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 2>again tonight. Kyle Tucker was zero for four tonight, hitting

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>into a double play again the Dodgers see the bottom

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 2>of the lineup. Alfonso edmund Rojas come through with three

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.239
<v Speaker 2>of the Dodgers four hits, including the only run score

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>on the Tommy Edmond solo home run eight sixty six

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>nine eight seven two five seventy. The Dodgers again get

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>two of three in New York to start the second

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 2>half of the season, and now they head to Philadelphia

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>for an important three game series. Now they're still eleven

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>and a half games up in the division. The Diamondbacks

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 2>one today in extra innings, so it stays at eleven

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and a half games. The Dodgers up in the NL West.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Your goal into Philadelphia now for a three game series

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>against the Fighting Phills, who are only three games back

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 2>in the NL East. They have one of the wildcard

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>spots right now, but you Looku's right behind them on

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 2>their heels. There's like five teams fighting for one of

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>those wildcard spots behind the Fight and Phills. So it

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a big series for the Dodgers,

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 2>who are going up against really the heart of the

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 2>rotation for the Phillies with Christopher Sanchez, who I know

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 2>struggled right before the All Star Break and then didn't

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 2>look great in the All Star Game, but still on

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>eleven wins the first half of the season, Zach Wheelers

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>ten to one with a two thirteen ERA, and then

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Nola who's really kind of had a bad year,

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>but still Aaron Nola. It's going to be a fun

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>three games for the Dodgers going to Philadelphia and then

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>they head back to New York for a three game

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 2>series against the Mets. We talked about this, I know

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 2>David Vasse talked about it as well, right before the

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>All Star Break. Dodger fans, it wasn't gonna be easy

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>coming out of this break, starting on the road, nine

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 2>games in ten days on the East Coast, two trips

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>to New York with a trip to Philadelphia sandwiched in

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>between a trip to the White House, also on an

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>off day, and three teams fighting for the playoffs and

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>could be all three playoff teams. This is a tough

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>stretch for the Dodgers, and you gonna tell me they

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to sweep and still took two to three.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 5>At Yankee Stadium this weekend.

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Sign me up for that, and still holding on to

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>an eleven and a half game lead in the NL West,

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>so we can get into this series this weekend. What

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>you saw from the Dodgers over these last couple of days.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the rainout last night put the Dodgers in

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 2>a double header today against the Yankees. But also we're

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 2>getting close to the trade deadline, and you look at

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the standings and you look at what a month ago

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the divisions look like and the wild card races look like.

0:04:59.520 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 6>It was.

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.039
<v Speaker 2>There's only four teams that were over five hundred in

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>the American League. The National League was by far the

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>better of the two leagues. The Braves, the Brewers, the

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers the cream of the crop in all of baseball,

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 2>and pretty much still are right now. The Brewers and

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers. Brewers at sixty two wins, the Dodgers sixty

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>three wins. But don't look now, teams have started to

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>heat up. We saw what the Red Sox did going

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 2>into the break, and they have continued that. They won

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>all three games this weekend. The Red Sox win to

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.599
<v Speaker 2>the All Star Break winners of ten in a row,

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>made that nine in a row. Now they just won

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.479
<v Speaker 2>four straight over the Tampa Bay Rays. They have won

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 2>thirteen straight games and there's still six games back in

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the wildcard. But the Boston Red Sox right now, right

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.040
<v Speaker 2>there in the AL wildcard race along with the Mariners

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>and the Orioles and the Twins. The point being, this

0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a seller's market come August third

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 2>and the trade deadline. The more teams now in the hunt,

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>they are more team now looking around saying, maybe we

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.719
<v Speaker 2>have a shot to get into the postseason tournament. That's

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 2>all you gotta give us, and we can get hot

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 2>and we can go to a World Series. Albeit the

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Diamondbacks did it in twenty twenty three, got into

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 2>the postseason knocked off. The Dodgers went on a heater

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and got to the World Series to take on the

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Texas Rangers. So all you gotta do is get in

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and see what happens. And right now you've got a

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>ton of teams that feel like they have a shot

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>come October, and they could add to their team, add

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to the rotation, add to their lineup a player or players,

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and it gives them a better shot at making it

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 2>till October. So now you got more teams looking to

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>buy and less sellers, so the price is gonna go up.

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 2>But what exactly is out there at the trade deadline?

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it's interesting to look at which arms, which bats,

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>which bullpen guys are going to be available at the deadline.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I was listening to MLB Radio earlier today with Jim

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Bowden and crew, and they every week they have a

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>GM show front off their show and they bring on

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>gms and presidents and baseball operations from around baseball, and

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>they talked to him and Alexanthopolis was on from the

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Braves and he had a great comment and I'm

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>paraphrasing what he said where he said, you could be

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>talking to a team about a player and that player

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>is okay, this is what we're looking at, this is

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>who it might cost us to get that player. All right,

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 2>this we're kind of looking at as far as the

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 2>trade is concerned. And the guy goes three for four

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>with a home run, Well, all of a sudden, that

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>team the next day is like, you know what, asking

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 2>price has just kind of gone up for that.

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 5>Or the guy goes oh for four and all of

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 5>a sudden, it's.

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, look at this guy's struggling. You know, we're

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>not going to give up as much as we thought

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 2>to get that player. Looking he went oh for four

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 2>last night with three punchouts. It can change day to

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 2>day over the course of negotiation, and things get tighter

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 2>and teams get squeezed a little bit more as the

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>deadline gets closer and closer, this year being August third,

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>and with more sellers out there, or more buyers out

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>there than sellers, the market's just gonna go crazy. I mean,

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>it's supplying demand. I wasn't an economics major, but I

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 2>know supplying demand, and there's a lot of demand out

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>there right now, there's just not a lot of supply.

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 5>And you look at a couple of the arms that

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 5>jump out at you.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Everybody wants to talk about what the Detroit Tigers are

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. What is going to happen with Terry Scougle, Well,

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 2>depending on who you talk to, They're not gonna make

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.880
<v Speaker 2>a run and trade them. They're gonna keep them and

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>stay put. They've won seven of their last ten. The

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Tigers are, you know, thinking about it? Or four and

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 2>a half games out in the wild card race? Can

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 2>we get back into the race?

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 5>Who knows?

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 2>So if Terrek Scooble's off the board, what does that

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 2>fall to? Obviously the next caliber starting pitcher, because there's

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 2>nobody like Terror Schooble. Is Freddie Peralta going to be

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>out there for the New York Mets. The Angels, in

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, could have two of the arms that teams

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 2>are looking to get and read Detmers and Jose Soriano,

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 2>a lefty and a righty, both under control until twenty

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight, so the Angels don't have to move them.

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 2>But if it is a market right now where if

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you're selling, you can get a lot in return, maybe

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>more than a month ago, maybe more than you could

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 2>in an offseason deal. And you're the Angels the worst

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>record in baseball. Yeah, I'd be out there saying, hey,

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 2>read Detmers, he's available. Jose Soriano, he's available. Those two

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 2>guys jump out right away. As far as starters that

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:54.479
<v Speaker 2>could be available at the deadline. Position players across the board, Yeah,

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 2>you know Foster Griffin right handed with the Washington Nationals. Sure,

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>but you take Trek Scoobel off the board, and let's

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 2>just assume he's not being traded. For the argument's sake here,

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>what else is everybody looking for? Who are they going after? Again,

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot more buyers than sellers eight sixty six

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 2>nine eight seven two five seventy. And if you're the Dodgers,

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>take a step back. Dodger fans, take your panic goggles

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>off and look where the Dodgers are. And it's not

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 2>worry about Oh, do we need to catcher Will Smith's

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 2>not gonna come back anytime soon?

0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 5>Do we need another bullpen arm?

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 2>What about Tyler Glass knows those backspass Blake Snell.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 5>We assume he's gonna get healthy.

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers are sitting pretty had this conversation earlier today.

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 2>Somebody asked me, Tim, what are they gonna do with

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the deadline? They need to catch I said, no, they

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 2>don't get Dalton rushing hitting the bottom of the order.

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 2>All you need to do is be a really good

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>defensive catcher, and every so off and offensive we do

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>something for you because you got to line up around him.

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.439
<v Speaker 2>That's the best in baseball. You don't need to go

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.719
<v Speaker 2>out there and make a move. Why oh we need

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>are starting pitching. Last time I looked, you've got two

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>arms and Snell and Glass now that are injured. Once

0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>closer to coming back than the other in Blake Snell.

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 2>And last time I looked, he's won two Cy Young Awards.

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.079
<v Speaker 2>And if I were the Dodgers take a step back again.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Trade deadline's coming up? Is there somebody better than a

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Blake Snell? Take Terry School out of this conversation. Is

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 2>there somebody better than a Blake Snell that Dodger can

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>go out and get. No, they've already got Blake Snell.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>He's right there making a rehabit start last night, gonna

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 2>make three more and then come back and help ab out.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 5>This Dodger's rotation.

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>That to me is a bigger move, potentially right around

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the trade deadline, then going out and get in another

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 2>arm just for the sake of making a trade.

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.120
<v Speaker 5>Why you got Blake Snell.

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 2>His addition is like getting a trade at the deadline.

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I'd rather have snell Zilla than somebody else via trade.

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Okay, well, what about another arm of the bullpen? Hello?

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Edwin Diaz is getting close to coming back, made two

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 2>appearances in.

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 5>Ontario with the Tower Buzzers.

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 2>They're looking for him to pitching back to back games

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 2>and show that he's healthy, and then he'll be brought

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 2>back to the Dodgers to close out the games, to

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>go along with Tanner Scott Alex Vesia.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 5>That's nine outs right there, folks. That looks to me.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 2>If Edwin Diaz is back healthy with Avesia and Tanner Scott,

0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 2>that's nine outs at the back end of a game.

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>That's nine outs that you don't need your started to

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>get because you've got three shut down relievers.

0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 5>Getting Edwin Diaz back here, let's skate. Let's say the.

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Next two weeks he gets back next ten days to

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>two weeks. That to me is better than going out

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 2>and get another bullpen armed for somebody just for the

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>sake of making the trade. Again, take a step back,

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Dodger fans, who in a trade as far as a

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.839
<v Speaker 2>reliever is going to be better than getting Edwin da

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Is back in ten days to two weeks.

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Who I'd rather take Edwin Diaz come back from an injury.

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 2>That also is like a nice trade and a pickup

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>at the deadline. Edwin Diaz, thank you very much, Back

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 2>into my rotation. Healthy Blake Snell back here right around

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the trade deadline, Thank you very much. Those are better

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.360
<v Speaker 2>than trades. You didn't have to give up any minor

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 2>league prospects. All you had to do was write them

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 2>both out on the injured list and they're back healthy

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>and you got two arms.

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 5>Just like that. How about that?

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, key K a Hernandez, a guy who can play

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 2>multiple positions, come off the bench.

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 5>We know what he means. In September October.

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Who are you gonna find at a trade deadline that's

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna be better than that approven October baseball player like

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Keiky Hearnettez.

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Nobody and you're gonna get him back in a month

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 5>or so, maybe less.

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Again, think about who's coming back from injuries and are

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>they are better than what is available out on the

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:58.199
<v Speaker 2>trade market. Key K Yes, Edwin Diaz, Yes, Blake Snell

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 2>absolutely yes, Dodgers are gonna be fine. The Dodgers are

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna be okay because they've got three guys coming back,

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:11.319
<v Speaker 2>two arms that are better than anybody. But Tarrek Scoogle

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>out there again. We'll take Arry' school out of the

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.720
<v Speaker 2>equation because the Tigers may or may not trade him.

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I'll take Snell and I'll take Edwin Diaz all day

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>coming off of injuries eight six six, nine eighty seven

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>two five seven. We'll hear from Evan Phillips coming up

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>in a couple of minutes. Get out to the phone, though,

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Shane and Autolonto. Last time I was at Autlanto was

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.720
<v Speaker 2>watching the High Desert Mavericks, like twenty five years ago.

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 2>That minor league team is no longer in existence. What

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 2>did they do with the stadium there at Autolanto?

0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 7>Shane, I don't.

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.640
<v Speaker 8>Know, but uh, I went to a couple of games, right, Amosphere,

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 8>that was a long time ago.

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 5>They're not even they're not even in existence anymore.

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.680
<v Speaker 8>Right, Yeah, I'm talking about Ontario. I went to the Ontario.

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 5>Oh okay, all right, what's on your mind?

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 7>Shane?

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 8>Okay, hey, let me see if I can say this right.

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 8>Doesn't the coaches have how they know how to teach

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 8>play a pitch against in the middle. I don't like that.

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 8>I know the coaches are really good, but you know,

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 8>there's a game plan where you know where you throw

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 8>it in the middle.

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 9>Of the of the the bat. It's really not that

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 9>hard to to me. You know, these one start from

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 9>Phillips that are like right down the middle. Uh, hit

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 9>the corner to left to right or whatever. But why

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 9>is right down the middle?

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 8>How come the coaches are not We're focusing on that

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 8>to not throw it in the middle.

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.720
<v Speaker 5>All right, Shane, I appreciate the phone call.

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure Evan Phillips is not trying to throw

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 2>a ninety two mile in our fastball down the middle

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 2>of the plate and say here, try to hit it out.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 5>Of the park Jaschism. He's not.

0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 2>He's trying to hit the corners. He's trying to work

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 2>on location. Hey, let me tell you something, Shane.

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 5>He made a mistake.

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>He left one out there. You know what jazz Chism

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 2>did made him pay. You know what we're not talking about.

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 2>If jazz chishm pops out to left field and Taoscar

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Hernandez because he missed a ninety two mile an hour

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 2>fastball over the middle, of the plate. We're not even

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 2>talking about it a missed pitch, but hey, tip your

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 2>cat to jazz chism blowpop.

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 5>It all made Evan Phillips pay. And by the way, I.

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Was referencing to Alanto, where our last callers from the

0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 2>High Desert Mavericks played a ball in the California League

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.520
<v Speaker 2>at Mavericks Stadium in at Alanto from like nineteen ninety

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.600
<v Speaker 2>ninety one until about ten years ago.

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 5>And I just looked it up.

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 2>The stadium is still there, but it's used for like

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.800
<v Speaker 2>motorsports and festivals and swap meets and probably abandoned cars

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 2>and whatever else they have out there. Coyotes to live

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 2>in the different bathrooms. I don't know what it's used

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.240
<v Speaker 2>for exactly, but yeah, it was a minor league baseball

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.720
<v Speaker 2>team out in Adelanto, the High Desert Mavericks. There's an

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 2>old documentary that came out called Minor League's Major Dreams.

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I have it on VHS somewhere. It's a documentary that

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 2>falls around the ninety one or ninety two High Desert

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks baseball team.

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 5>How about that.

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you're a baseball nerd, you want to watch that.

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I highly recommended cool behind the scenes of what minor

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 2>league baseball was like in the early nineties eight sixty six,

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.479
<v Speaker 2>ninety seven, two five seventy. Dodges Baseball brought to you

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 2>by Medello Midello, The mark of a Fighter. Let's go

0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 2>to Kenny and Santakarina, your next up on Dodge Talk.

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 5>How you doing Kenny here?

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 7>How are you doing, Kate good?

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 5>How are you doing?

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 8>I'm doing pretty well.

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 7>I have a name that I think is available. Some

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 7>people might not think so, but another Ale Central pitcher

0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 7>two first names, Joe Ryan. I think he might be up.

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 7>He'll follow the the La vibes with his grateful dead

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.760
<v Speaker 7>kind of mindset out there. Originally being from Minnesota, I

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.360
<v Speaker 7>can tell you having the pole ads its owners, even

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.880
<v Speaker 7>if you think five hundred is like being up on

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 7>the White Sox by ten games, like us, being at

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 7>five hundred is like we were hanging the banner, especially

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.600
<v Speaker 7>during our time at Target Field. So don't trust the

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.000
<v Speaker 7>poll ads, even if the twin's going to run here

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 7>and he's a great guy, and now that I'm married

0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:26.359
<v Speaker 7>into the Dodgers, go Doyers and go Joe Ryan.

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.439
<v Speaker 5>All right, appreciate it, Thanks for checking in. Kenny.

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Twins, our team that is under five hundred.

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Now they've lost two in a row. They were five

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred right around there at the break. There are four

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.600
<v Speaker 2>games back in the division. As far as the wild

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:39.880
<v Speaker 2>card is concerned, they're only two games back. So we'll

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 2>see if the Twins think about it, Colin. Was it

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 2>last year that the Twins basically traded everybody but Buxton

0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Ryan?

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was last year.

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 2>The deadline, it was like last man in the Twins clubhouse,

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 2>turn out the light.

0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 5>They traded away so many players of the deadline.

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>And how about that the Twins hovering around five hundred

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 2>right there in the Al Central? About the Chicago White

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 2>Sox lost like one hundred games back to back years,

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 2>taking our guy Rock Schlowski, the number one pick overall

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 2>out of UCLA fours up their first place in the

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.439
<v Speaker 2>AL Central. I don't know what that says about that

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:18.119
<v Speaker 2>division though. Those teams really just that bad. Probably probably

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 2>eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventy is

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the number. Evan Phillips tonight gave up a home run.

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Is the second outing in a row he has given

0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.040
<v Speaker 2>up a home run. He gave up a solo shot

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 2>the jass Chisholm in the bottom half of the eighth

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:33.200
<v Speaker 2>inning is our College Jason from Atlanto mentioned he wasn't

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to throw the ball over the plate. He wasn't

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:38.159
<v Speaker 2>trying to He threw a one to zer fastball right

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 2>down the middle of the plate and jas Chism made

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>him pay a home run off of Evan Phillips that

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:43.919
<v Speaker 2>gave the Yankees a two to one lead, and they

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.120
<v Speaker 2>go on to win the game by that same final score.

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's head back out to New York. David Vasse standing

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 2>by with Evan Phillips.

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.960
<v Speaker 3>The pitch to Jazz. Obviously, that's not the outcome that

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 3>you wanted. But as far as the execution, where were

0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 3>you trying to go with that fastball?

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I think I just went to a pitch where

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.160
<v Speaker 10>I had less room for air. You know, I'm trying

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 10>to throw a strike a situation and get back into

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.840
<v Speaker 10>the count. And you know, Jazz likes the ball in middle, down,

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 10>down and end, and it's trying to go away obviously,

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 10>but just crept back to the middle of the plate

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.719
<v Speaker 10>somewhere he can handle it and you put a good

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 10>swing on it. But I think I'm still just getting

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.440
<v Speaker 10>used to, you know, wanted pitching in games again. But

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 10>spotlight that understanding. You know, there's other things I can do,

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.199
<v Speaker 10>other ways I can get them out instead of just

0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 10>you know, being having the passive mindset of just trying

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:27.720
<v Speaker 10>to get back into the count.

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.199
<v Speaker 3>How much ship that is part of the equation in

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 3>the first four games back, just you know, the rest

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 3>of not pitching for over a year in big league games.

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I mean, I think that's evident, right, ree haveb

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 10>mindsets just to go out there and physically feel good.

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 10>I tried to, you know, rewire that a little bit

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 10>my final few games there and on my rehab stint,

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.879
<v Speaker 10>but you just can't simulate, you know, the major league environment,

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 10>a major league competition. So yeah, I mean there's some

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 10>things I can take away that I'll you know, be

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.919
<v Speaker 10>happy about, but certainly don't feel good about. You can

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:00.640
<v Speaker 10>the lost time.

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 8>What are you thinking out there watching the bullpen game

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 8>building up when everybody kind of keep them things so tight.

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:09.719
<v Speaker 10>It's my favorite, you know, watching all of our guys,

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 10>you know, go out there one by one and just

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 10>you be ready whenever called upon. I think you know,

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 10>Alex was told to be ready early and then he

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.719
<v Speaker 10>dominated what the seventh So stuff like that is what

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 10>really fires us up as a group. And to see us,

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 10>you know, pretty much, you know, front to back do

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.200
<v Speaker 10>a really good job and keep our team in the

0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 10>game and give us a chance to win. You know,

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 10>it goes this way sometimes. But really proud of all

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.120
<v Speaker 10>these guys. Brocked a hell of a job, kept everybody

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 10>fresh for the series in Philly.

0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, there's seven phillips and gave up the go

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.399
<v Speaker 2>ahead solo home run in the bottom half of the

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 2>eighth inning. But as he was asked there, Yeah, he

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.879
<v Speaker 2>loves bullpen games because him and the rest of the

0:21:44.880 --> 0:21:47.040
<v Speaker 2>bullpen dogs get to go out there and do their work,

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 2>whether it's one inning at a time, two thirds of

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:51.680
<v Speaker 2>an inning, one out, whatever it's called upon for them

0:21:51.680 --> 0:21:53.920
<v Speaker 2>to go out and do. Collectively. They went out and

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 2>they did really good job tonight. They only gave up

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.280
<v Speaker 2>two runs, an RBI single in the first and then

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the solo home run at Jastism and that was it.

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 5>A lot of zeros put up there, a lot of

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 5>traffic on.

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:06.000
<v Speaker 2>The base bass, okay, there was, but a good job

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 2>by the Dodgers bullpen collectively to get out of jams,

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 2>get some outs, and then most importantly for brock Steed

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 2>to come in there and lock it down with the

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:15.320
<v Speaker 2>bases loaded. Nobody out in the fifth Innian in a

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 2>one nothing game. That game could have been busted wide

0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 2>open and the white flag could have been thrown up

0:22:20.320 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>by the Dodgers in New York. Instead, strikeout, pop out,

0:22:24.080 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 2>strikeout to Anthony Volpi, no runs across, keeping it a

0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 2>one run game.

<v Speaker 5>This one is gone.

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Tommy had been with a pinshit home run and we

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>are tied. In the eighth, Tommy tanks with a bomb

0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the right center field, his second of the year, that

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 2>tied the game at one. In the eighth, Inda his

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 2>solo home run off Fernando Cruz. Unfortunately, the Yankees would

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:29.200

<v Speaker 2>three game series, but they won the day portion of

<v Speaker 2>the day night doubleheader at eight two victory over the

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Yankees behind a complete game four hitter from Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.240

<v Speaker 9>Ken?

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:01.400
<v Speaker 8>Oh there? Tim?

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 11>I took a bike ride and I can't figure out

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 11>how to get home. Okay, I agree with everything to say.

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 11>The Dodgers pitching is what's going to make them and

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 11>when they got some of the best pitchers coming back,

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 11>I understand. I understand also that some people aren't going

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 11>to hit what they used to. Lookie's hitting, you know,

0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.240
<v Speaker 11>one fifty five his last seven games, but he's a

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.439
<v Speaker 11>great fielder and he's important to the team. Here's what

0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:29.679
<v Speaker 11>they don't get. The Oscar six for forty nine is

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 11>last fifteen games. That's a one twenty two average with

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:36.600
<v Speaker 11>twenty strikeouts. Why is he in left field and Tommy

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 11>Edmonds was hitting three sixty on the bench.

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:41.800
<v Speaker 8>What am I missing here?

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 2>I think they're going to give Ti Oscar a lot

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 2>more runway, Can I appreciate the phone call? I hope

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 2>you get back home after your bike ride. It is

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:50.080
<v Speaker 2>dark out there in Newport Beef, so hopefully you got

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:52.440
<v Speaker 2>your light on your bike and you're able to find

0:24:52.480 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 2>your way home. It's been a struggle bus for ta

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Oscar Hernandez. He was over the weekend against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 2>He had just one hitting those three games against the

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Colorado Rockies last homestand what he have one hit against

0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the San Diego Padres in that four game series at

0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Dodger Stadium. It was a tough final home stand for

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Taoscar Hernandez. He came back Friday night, had a base

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 2>hit when one for three, you know, fresh start second

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 2>half of the season.

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 5>But the weekend.

0:25:21.480 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Overall wasn't great for Taoscar Hernandez, and they've dropped him

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 2>down to the seventh spot in the lineup. I don't

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:28.639
<v Speaker 2>know how much further you can drop him unless you

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>put them all the way down to the bottom spot

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>of the lineup. I can make a case, as you

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 2>could ken to put Tommy Edmond out there every day

0:25:35.720 --> 0:25:38.720
<v Speaker 2>in left field, certainly as a switch hitter. Doesn't matter

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.400
<v Speaker 2>if it's a righty or a lefty. But you got

0:25:41.400 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 2>to have ta Oscar Hernandez, you know, producing, and you

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 2>got to have him out there every day to try

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to figure this out. I think Dave Roberts is very

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>loyal and he should be to these guys because they've

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.360
<v Speaker 2>won back to back World Series championships and if they're

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>going through a rut, We've seen Dave stick with guys.

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 2>It'll change the lineup and move you. He'll drop you

0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 2>down to the sixth spot of the seventh spot. Mookie

0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 2>bets we saw that a couple of weeks ago, right,

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.359
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of calls here on Dodger Talk, Mookie

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 2>can't hit anymore.

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 5>Mookie's falling off. MOOKI looks old.

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, MOOKI turned things around, and that was because he

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:18.720
<v Speaker 2>dropped in the lineup, got some better ab started to

0:26:18.720 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 2>feel more confident the play.

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 5>It's it's gonna happen with thea Oscar. I truly believe it.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 2>He looks a little lost right now, looks a little

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 2>frustrated and flustered up at the plate, chasing pitches out

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 2>of the zone.

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 5>A lot of.

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Pitches that are that are just way outside, and he's

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 2>getting swinging misses on and they're not even close to

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 2>being strikes.

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 5>I think he needs a zero back in.

0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:41.679
<v Speaker 2>He needs to get right, see some positive at bats,

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.400
<v Speaker 2>and as soon as he does, I'm pretty confident he'll

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 2>he'll get back on track. He's too good of a hitter,

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 2>He's too good of a player to be in a

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 2>rut for this long. He'll he'll turn things around.

0:26:52.119 --> 0:26:52.239
<v Speaker 5>Him.

0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 2>What he does just another weapon in this Dodgers lineup,

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.840
<v Speaker 2>even if he's hitting seventh like he was tonight. Adam

0:26:57.840 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 2>and win here, thanks for being patient. Welcome to Dodger

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Talk on this Sunday night. How you doing, Adam?

0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 6>Hey toom So, I was the biggest skeptical guy. I'm

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:11.400
<v Speaker 6>the Kyle Tucker signing him, and then everyone knows he's

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:14.399
<v Speaker 6>known for hitting into double plays. Yeah. I made a

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 6>bit of my dad. Every time Kyle Tucker would hit

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.200
<v Speaker 6>it into a double play during the season, I would

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 6>do ten push ups getting hit a double play all

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 6>first half of the season until these last two games.

0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 6>I think that's just like a crazy staff for someone

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 6>he's known for double plays. And then I think Tucker

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 6>and Tay Oscar I know they're gonna turn it on

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:35.640
<v Speaker 6>at some point. Those are going to be the two

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:36.920
<v Speaker 6>biggest keys during the playoffs.

0:27:36.960 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Tim, all right, we'll find out, Adam. I appreciate it.

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 5>Thanks for checking in.

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Certainly, the heart of the lineup tonight, including Kyle Tucker,

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 2>did not have a lot of offensive production, and the Dodgers,

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 2>despite that, still right there until the end, end up

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 2>losing two to one of the Yankees.

0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Blake there, he is my guy in Colorado. What's up, Blake?

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:55.080
<v Speaker 5>How you doing.

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 12>Glad you have youta.

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:01.399
<v Speaker 4>You had a lot of people on today.

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh, the busy show. Here, busy show, Blake.

0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people got in and we're excited about

0:28:06.000 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers series in New York the start of the

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 2>second half of the season.

0:28:09.640 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 5>But you're my guy, Blake, I always get you on.

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so what did you think about?

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 5>What did you think about the series?

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 12>A lettle disappointment. We didn't get to sweep, but we

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:26.520
<v Speaker 12>got you out a tree. We have to see what

0:28:26.560 --> 0:28:28.359
<v Speaker 12>they do in Philadelphia and New York.

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think this Philly series is gonna be big

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:33.200
<v Speaker 5>the Dodgers.

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 2>This whole nine game road trip is a tough one

0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 2>and what a way to start the second half of

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 2>the season. But you take two or three at Yankee Stadium, Blake,

0:28:40.120 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a good thing, a chance to get a sweep,

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and they were so close to doing that tonight, very

0:28:45.200 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 2>easily could have won all three games. You take that,

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you take the positives, and you move on to Philadelphiahere

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna see really good pitching from the Phillies.

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

0:28:56.040 --> 0:29:02.200
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I have in Hi. I was doing some scouting

0:29:02.280 --> 0:29:05.720
<v Speaker 12>this weekend watching the comments. Do you do you think

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 12>we to call Alex Thomas off and trade call? And

0:29:09.080 --> 0:29:11.000
<v Speaker 12>do you think we to get the cattle? Because that's

0:29:11.640 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 12>backup catcher is not doing so well well yet.

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>A first big lead hit tonight. He's you know, he's

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 2>a good defensive catcher. He's a great guy to play

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>in a game like tonight where you play a double

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 2>header and you can't have dult rushing catch every game.

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Will Smith's not coming back anytime soon, Blake. Great to

0:29:28.480 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 2>hear your voice, my friend. We're gonna keep movings moving.

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, when when are you going to be on again?

0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm back on on Wednesday.

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Blake, check back with me on Wednesday in the finale

0:29:36.960 --> 0:29:38.360
<v Speaker 2>of the series against the Phillies.

0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 12>All right, okay, talk to you Wednesday.

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:45.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, sounds good, my friend. Thanks to Blake in Colorado.

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh he did a little scouting there with Oklahoma City

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 2>comments like that.

0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh is he final call?

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.120

0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 5>not busy.

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Well that one to out three, But I have to

0:30:01.680 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 4>disagree with you on something and they they had to

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 4>say that the Dodge that give me a backup past

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm starving. You cannot you cannot prodress, you cannot trust

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:18.280
<v Speaker 4>Worth and which he's too emotional. He says, you know,

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 4>they give me in veteran, they give me investering veteran catcher.

0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 4>I do agree with David and Dann and fortunately freed

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 4>the Greek women on that. But but we yet it

0:30:30.080 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 4>went two our three, So I'll take it. You know,

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I would have loved to seeing their play yesterday, but

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 4>what can you do? So I'll take it. They diep

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 4>got be failing now, and I don't know who's gonna

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 4>be the picture on Wednesday. We'll worry about that then.

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, this take two our three in Philly, and

0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 4>then we can worry about we can worry about the

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 4>next series. But I'll take it. But hey, the Yankees,

0:30:57.000 --> 0:30:57.360

<v Speaker 2>and Eric Law were gonna pitch in the three games

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:10.000
