Speaker 1: It was one of those big picture games, not one
Speaker 1: of those win at all costs tonight kind of games.
Speaker 2: Well, Jeff, it's the first time you've been on all
Speaker 2: what is this called Dodgers territory in a while, and
Speaker 2: it's not a fun game to be here. But you
Speaker 2: are pinch hitting for Alana tonight and the Dodgers. I
Speaker 2: guess they hit a little bit, but man, just not
Speaker 2: a fun game at all. Five run seventh for Boston
Speaker 2: seals the win for them, seals the punt game. We're
Speaker 2: locking in now. I'm as locked in as Cole Irvin
Speaker 2: was there. But yeah, just reactions, immediate thoughts on this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was one of those games where you kind of
Speaker 1: fear this was how it would turn out, you know,
Speaker 1: not so much a punt game. And maybe this is semantics,
Speaker 1: which is why I got an English degree so I
Speaker 1: can deal with deal with semantics. But you know, this
Speaker 1: was a game of let's see if the offense can
Speaker 1: score enough runs to give us a win, even though
Speaker 1: we are going to have a minor league pitcher throw
Speaker 1: one hundred pitches, because that was the plan all along.
Speaker 1: Like you and I when we when we heard that
Speaker 1: cole Irvin had been added to the active roster, and
Speaker 1: it was a bullpen game today.
Speaker 2: That was the.
Speaker 3: Easiest math to do.
Speaker 1: One plus one equals to cole Irvan's thrown one hundred
Speaker 1: pitches tonight.
Speaker 3: It was one hundred and two pitches.
Speaker 1: Some of them were good, a lot of them weren't,
Speaker 1: and then the offense couldn't do enough to win the game.
Speaker 1: But it was one of those big picture games, not
Speaker 1: one of those win at all costs tonight kind of games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people in the chat obviously understandably not going to
Speaker 2: be very happy. It is to borrow from my friend
Speaker 2: over from the All Dodgers YouTube channel, Jeff Snyder. It
Speaker 2: is one game. If you guys don't know, that is
Speaker 2: Jeff Snyder right there. We we are two parts of
Speaker 2: the four people that make up All Dodgers. Here. We're
Speaker 2: talking a little bit of post game recap here on
Speaker 2: Dodgers territory, and then we're gonna move over to All
Speaker 2: Dodgers after this and talk more about big picture stuff,
Speaker 2: maybe some of the bullpen because it did not look
Speaker 2: good tonight. Henriquez gets the ball in the first inning,
Speaker 2: pitches around a or works around a single in there
Speaker 2: and then yeah, we'll climb. Continues the decline for him
Speaker 2: in this one. Let's talk about the good. We got
Speaker 2: the good, the bad, the ugly, the good three hits
Speaker 2: for Freddy, he you know, continues to be locked in
Speaker 2: show Hay. Couple of knocks in there the day after
Speaker 2: a rest day there, including a monster Homer has the
Speaker 2: double in there. A lot of things we could touch
Speaker 2: on with that. Let's let's stick with show Hay a
Speaker 2: little bit, because you know, he's he's not helping the
Speaker 2: give him a rest to get you know, put him
Speaker 2: on the il for a little bit narrative. Or maybe
Speaker 2: he is because every time he has like one game
Speaker 2: off he comes back, which is now twice in the
Speaker 2: last week. He takes that one day off, he comes
Speaker 2: back and he cranks a homer and a double and
Speaker 2: he just you know, looks good. He looks like shoe
Speaker 2: Heeyotani at the plate. What do you think is does
Speaker 2: it help the narrative or hurt the narrative to give
Speaker 2: him a rest?
Speaker 1: I you know, it probably like most narratives, it does
Speaker 1: whatever whatever you want it to do. It's like presidential debates.
Speaker 1: You know, the guy you like wins the debate. That's
Speaker 1: just how things work with narratives. Even though Tani's ground
Speaker 1: out in the ninth inning was one hundred and four
Speaker 1: miles an hour off, the bat had a five eighty
Speaker 1: expected batting average, so he could have three hits today. Definitely.
Speaker 1: Obviously they want to keep him healthy. They want him
Speaker 1: to be as healthy as he can be in October,
Speaker 1: ideally to pitch and hit. But you definitely need his
Speaker 1: bat in October. You know, you can maybe if everybody
Speaker 1: else gets healthy, you know, including future Dodger Trek Scoogle.
Speaker 1: You know, you can make a case that maybe you
Speaker 1: there's a scenario where you don't need his arm in October.
Speaker 1: Absolutely needs to show hey bat in October and so
Speaker 1: and obviously you'd like to have his arm too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But whatever they need to do to keep him healthy,
Speaker 1: as healthy as possible so that he doesn't run himself
Speaker 1: into the ground in the regular season so he can
Speaker 1: have that.
Speaker 3: Juice in October, that's what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: And if that's a narrative, great, But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: seems like the day off yesterday.
Speaker 3: Definitely looks like it helped him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just give him a little bit of a rest
Speaker 2: here and there. If that's the plan, you know, if
Speaker 2: you don't need to give him the ten or potentially
Speaker 2: because he is a two way player, the fifteen day
Speaker 2: al stint. If it's once a week, maybe once every
Speaker 2: ten days, just give him that day off to to
Speaker 2: keep the knee a little more fresh, you know, help
Speaker 2: with the maintenance. I'm okay with that, because again twice
Speaker 2: in the last i think seven days, we have seen
Speaker 2: showhy a day after, you know, having a game off,
Speaker 2: just just absolutely crank the ball. Sticking with the lineup.
Speaker 2: Part of this had a little bit of dialogue in
Speaker 2: all Dodgers text chat with you and Kevin not the
Speaker 2: a lineup running out there against Ranger Suarez, Miguel Rojas
Speaker 2: ruffling some feathers with our friend Kevin Skinner as he
Speaker 2: bats third, first time, they said in the broadcast, first
Speaker 2: time miggi Row hit third in a lineup since he
Speaker 2: was twelve. Apparently promptly hits into a double play in
Speaker 2: his first at bat. Miggi Row hitting third and going
Speaker 2: over four is not the reason the Dodgers lost this game.
Speaker 2: Obviously he did not allow all of those runs, but yeah,
Speaker 2: that was part of the that story of the early
Speaker 2: I mean, not so much a white flag, but it's
Speaker 2: a like you said, it's a type of punt game
Speaker 2: where they put enough you know, runs on the board.
Speaker 2: We will try to find a way to win this game,
Speaker 2: but let's see if we can score first. And they
Speaker 2: I guess, I mean they got to Ranger Swars. He
Speaker 2: they did get him, you know, out of the game
Speaker 2: in the fifth inning. You know, threw a lot of pitches,
Speaker 2: and that's been the thing with this team. We saw
Speaker 2: him get to Cole. And I'm not gonna say that,
Speaker 2: you know, Ranger Swars is in the same breath as
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole or Cam Schlitzer or Zach Wheeler or whatever.
Speaker 2: But to tell he's a good pitcher. He's been an
Speaker 2: All Star in the past, has you know, solid era
Speaker 2: this year. To get him out in the fifth inning,
Speaker 2: you know, it's part of the good part of the
Speaker 2: the positives that you have to grasp for in this game,
Speaker 2: I would say that's one of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, first game of the series and pitchers who will
Speaker 1: be on the rosters tomorrow and the next day. The
Speaker 1: Red Sox had to use a lot more relief pitcher
Speaker 1: pitches than the Dodgers did today. I saw some of
Speaker 1: the chat saying that Nicole Irvin did his job. Somebody
Speaker 1: else took exception of that, said his job has helped
Speaker 1: him win and he sucked.
Speaker 3: But no, his job today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been nice if he could have
Speaker 1: helped the team win, but his job was to go
Speaker 1: out there and throw a hundred pitches. That's what he's
Speaker 1: been doing in the minors, not quite one hundred. I
Speaker 1: think his max this year was ninety four in Triple A. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he's a stretched out starting pitcher and they's okay,
Speaker 1: go go be that for us. And you know, I
Speaker 1: like with Rojas batting third, I was the way I
Speaker 1: look at it. No, I obviously it's not the best
Speaker 1: strategy to try to win the game. Even though Rojas
Speaker 1: does hit lefties well this year, but he's still mcguil Rojas.
Speaker 1: But for me, you know, Rojas is going to start
Speaker 1: one or two games a week and probably zero games
Speaker 1: in October. And so when you have a twelve game
Speaker 1: lead on July thirty, first, you're you're thinking about October.
Speaker 1: And so you know that Mickey Rose playing this game.
Speaker 1: I think he's your last thought on where should he
Speaker 1: bat in the lineup. Everybody else You're like, okay, well
Speaker 1: we're you know, Mookie, where do we want him? And
Speaker 1: Tucker we're trying to get him right again. And Tao's
Speaker 1: had a good couple of games after we dropped him down.
Speaker 1: To move on, you go through all that stuff for
Speaker 1: the people who are actually probably going to be starting
Speaker 1: games for you in October. Eliezer Alfonso easy to pencil
Speaker 1: in in the nine hole everybody else. You know, you
Speaker 1: kind of figure out where you want and then you say, okay,
Speaker 1: and then we have Miguel Rojas. What spot in the
Speaker 1: lineup has left? Okay, it's third, That's where Rojas is batting,
Speaker 1: where normally it would have been Max Muntsey or Tommy
Speaker 1: Edmund or whoever. But for today it was Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 1: Because the Dodgers came into the game with a twelve
Speaker 1: game lead on July thirty first, and you know, you
Speaker 1: can feel bad for the fans who paid good money
Speaker 1: to be at that game. I maybe maybe they felt
Speaker 1: good to do this knowing that it wouldn't be as
Speaker 1: not as many people there at the game because it
Speaker 1: was Kyle Tucker babblehead night, But you know, they got
Speaker 1: the fans who paid good money to be there, got
Speaker 1: to see a show. Hey, tony home run, got to
Speaker 1: see another three hit game from Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: And the fact is this kind of strategy is why
Speaker 1: the Dodgers give their fans more wins than pretty much
Speaker 1: any other team every year, because they're playing big pictures.
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you look at just tonight, sucks for
Speaker 1: the people who paid to be there tonight because they
Speaker 1: got to see six innings of something named Cole Irvin.
Speaker 1: But if they go to another game, there's a better
Speaker 1: chance to Dodgers win that game because of games like tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again too, he did the job he was
Speaker 2: supposed to do, Like you said, go out there, throw
Speaker 2: throw a lot of innings, or at least, you know,
Speaker 2: don't don't force yourself. I mean, if it was a
Speaker 2: little bit different, if he didn't give up a two
Speaker 2: run homer into that seventh inning, you know, chances are
Speaker 2: maybe Dave pulled some different levers to try to win
Speaker 2: that game. The Dodgers did have a lead in that one,
Speaker 2: So if it wasn't like so immediate, maybe you've tried
Speaker 2: to find a way to protect that lead, but it
Speaker 2: just it became it got so unraveled so fast, and
Speaker 2: that's where you're just like, all right, listen, we're okay.
Speaker 2: I'm okay. Occasionally seeing the team wave the white flag,
Speaker 2: and you know, the first time here on Dodgers territory
Speaker 2: what we had me and Alana had the sit down
Speaker 2: with Dave Roberts. It's because we questioned the white flag
Speaker 2: and and kind of a punt game. Of course, we
Speaker 2: were questioning a punt game or the feeling of a
Speaker 2: punt game. In the twenty twenty four postseason, that game three,
Speaker 2: I think it was against the Padres. There the Walker
Speaker 2: Buehler game, people being really upset, why does Walker Buehler
Speaker 2: being left in this game? Buehler ended up being pretty
Speaker 2: decent after that. I think it was a Grand Slam
Speaker 2: and then the Dodgers went out and Rattle.
Speaker 1: The Grandson was by Teo to get the Dodgers back
Speaker 1: in the game. It was all the crazy defense of
Speaker 1: Freddie hitting Machada with the throw to second and Mickey
Speaker 1: row like trying to take it himself. That was the
Speaker 1: year before.
Speaker 2: There was there was a Tatisse homer in there. I remember,
Speaker 2: you know, for Na.
Speaker 1: There was, Yeah, but that was there was a I
Speaker 1: think it was even a solo homer that inning.
Speaker 3: Bit.
Speaker 2: It was just I think that was the last time
Speaker 2: they scored.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, they didn't score again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, like there are times you got to
Speaker 2: know when to hold him, know when to fold them.
Speaker 2: And and this was a game to kind of walk
Speaker 2: away and cole irv and he's going to be celebrated
Speaker 2: in that clubhouse going out there over one hundred pitches.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have preferred to not give up what
Speaker 2: he was the final line six runs. He would prefer
Speaker 2: to have not done that and maybe left that game
Speaker 2: feeling good, just allowing Will Kleins two runs with the
Speaker 2: Freddie error. But that's not how this one shook out.
Speaker 2: We got a chat here BMW one twenty eight racers.
Speaker 2: Seems like one game out of each is a punt
Speaker 2: total BS And you know, I'll put the record back
Speaker 2: on the screen here. As you said, Dodgers have an
Speaker 2: eleven game lead in in the NL West. You you
Speaker 2: still have the most wins in baseball at sixty nine.
Speaker 2: Nice and they're doing that. They've done that without Tyler
Speaker 2: Glasnow for a majority of the majority of the season.
Speaker 2: Same you have three innings all year out of Blake Snell.
Speaker 2: You know Eric Lauer, you saved from the scrap heap,
Speaker 2: and he turned into something. You know, if you're able
Speaker 2: to punt a game each series, as you know BMW
Speaker 2: Racer is suggesting, and still win each series, I don't
Speaker 2: care like I take that all day. But they're on
Speaker 2: pace for one hundred and three wins this year. I
Speaker 2: don't need to see them break the mariners one hundred
Speaker 2: and sixteen win record. I don't care about that. I
Speaker 2: don't need. I don't need to see show Hey win
Speaker 2: an MVP or Cy Young. I don't need. Alls I
Speaker 2: need is another World Series, the last one that's going
Speaker 2: to be given out in a little while here at
Speaker 2: the end of twenty twenty six. That's all I care about.
Speaker 3: Jeff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you think the Dodgers punt one game a series,
Speaker 1: you and I have drastically different definitions of punt. I
Speaker 1: think your definition of punt is more like the definition
Speaker 1: of lose, because so far, since you also break, they
Speaker 1: have lost exactly one game each series, and they've won
Speaker 1: exactly two games each series, and they still have a
Speaker 1: chance to do that in this series. Yeah, most of
Speaker 1: the time, it's not punk games. It's sometimes just lose.
Speaker 1: Today it was you know, if you want to call
Speaker 1: it a punt, it was definitely a big picture game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this, I would say, is a punt. This is
Speaker 2: a white flag, this is you know, hey, this is
Speaker 2: house money. A type of game. I would say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the punting happened when they left Cole Irvin in.
Speaker 1: You know, they could have pulled him after the two
Speaker 1: ren homer it's still five to four, let's go for it.
Speaker 1: But you know they they went for it yesterday against
Speaker 1: the Mariners to make sure they locked down that win,
Speaker 1: knowing that it would mean today they needed one hundred
Speaker 1: pitches from cooler Evan And and so I think the
Speaker 1: fans who were there yesterday enjoyed hearing the trumpets, enjoyed
Speaker 1: hearing Randy Newman. And and you know, this is the
Speaker 1: price you pay. No team wins every game, and it's
Speaker 1: you know, this is a major tangent. But it's why
Speaker 1: I never I never bought Pete Rose's stupid. I only
Speaker 1: bet on my team to win or whatever, because unless
Speaker 1: you bet the same amount every single game, the fact
Speaker 1: is you are still impacting things because sometimes you try
Speaker 1: hard another games and if you've got five thousand bucks
Speaker 1: on one game, you got to bring in Rob Dibble
Speaker 1: instead of, you know, a lesser reliever. And so it
Speaker 1: was a obdubble. By the way, was it the Red's
Speaker 1: Closer back then? In case anybody is not as old
Speaker 1: as me, it's crazy, a little bit crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, uh kind of old school closer crazy.
Speaker 1: But anyways, continue And so my point is, yeah, teams
Speaker 1: have to weigh the big picture and say, okay, we
Speaker 1: can't try it try our hardest every game. From from
Speaker 1: that aspect of you know, Edwin Diaz and Tanner Scott
Speaker 1: can't pitch every game.
Speaker 3: Did even the hitters can't play every game.
Speaker 1: Some of them want to and some of them come
Speaker 1: close to it, but you know, guys need days off.
Speaker 1: And so the way you give yourself the best chance
Speaker 1: to win as many games as possible is to have
Speaker 1: these kind of big picture games where you say, okay,
Speaker 1: we're resetting our bullpen tonight. The only relievers the Dodgers
Speaker 1: use tonight, ed Garter Enriquez for one inning will climb
Speaker 1: for what was supposed to be two innings, but he
Speaker 1: will climb it and uh, and then Phillips for two
Speaker 1: thirds of and so no, it must couldn't have been
Speaker 1: a full inning. I think it was two thirds of
Speaker 1: an inning. Yeah, it came in with one out in
Speaker 1: the ninth inning, you know, and so that means that
Speaker 1: the other however, many what six relievers in their bullpen
Speaker 1: didn't pitch today, which means they're probably all available tomorrow
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers can now, you know, with Yamamoto on
Speaker 1: the mound, ideally Yama motives tomorrow, right, yes, yeah, so
Speaker 1: Yamamoto hopefully gives them seven innings and helps reset that that.
Speaker 1: You know, if the offense can give them a big lead,
Speaker 1: then they can, let you know, one of the lesser
Speaker 1: guys finish it out or they go to the closest
Speaker 1: you know, play. But either way, hopefully after tomorrow you
Speaker 1: have a handful of relievers who haven't pitched in two days,
Speaker 1: and you got a really good chance to get a
Speaker 1: win even with them at she In pitching on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and win the series.
Speaker 1: And if you can win the series, you know, that
Speaker 1: was the goal today was trying to set ourselves up
Speaker 1: to win the series, knowing that we've got a six
Speaker 1: man rotation and only five men to fill it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's gonna be like that still for a
Speaker 2: little bit longer. We got the news today. You know,
Speaker 2: Blake Snell is going to go out and make one
Speaker 2: more minor league rehab start next year or next year,
Speaker 2: next week before recha.
Speaker 1: He'll probably make a rehab start next year too. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest, this Blake Snow we're talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would put a couple of bucks on it.
Speaker 2: But he's gonna make one more start there and then
Speaker 2: if all goes well, gets up to five innings, he
Speaker 2: should be ready to rejoin the starting rotation. What is
Speaker 2: that second week when I'm gone on vacation. He'll be
Speaker 2: back in August. There, So you're starting to get better there,
Speaker 2: Tyler Glas, now throw to hitters again like it's it's July.
Speaker 2: That's that's you know where it is right now. That's
Speaker 2: the the sucky part of baseball. Sometimes you are going
Speaker 2: to lose some games. There's a ten dollars super chat
Speaker 2: in here from Roboito who says a lot of angry
Speaker 2: Dodger fans in the chat, Dodgers are gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: The channeling his inner Alana, it's going to be great.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they tie the series tomorrow. Just one of those
Speaker 2: rare games for Boston, you know they they get to enjoy. Also,
Speaker 2: skier those baseball, says Rip. Ryan's hamstring has pissport timing Preach,
Speaker 2: brother Preacht, got some more stuff to talk about. We've talked.
Speaker 2: I guess that was kind of a blend of the
Speaker 2: good and the ugly. I do want to talk about
Speaker 2: the bad and then a few more things before we
Speaker 2: sign off here and we'll continue the conversation over on
Speaker 2: Dodgers Territory, I mean over on all Dodgers. Not an
Speaker 2: official ad for the show today, but I do just

Speaker 2: in that afore mentioned a store there. I said, we
Speaker 2: talked about the good, talked about the ugly. I want
Speaker 2: to talk about the bad. Not a segue. We do
Speaker 2: have a super chat from our friend Richie four nine
Speaker 2: nine uses. Not only did they wave the white flag
Speaker 2: roberts Rand's underwear up the flagpole, this punt game went
Speaker 2: hand in hand with Kyle Tucker's Bobblehead. I know Richie
Speaker 2: is happy that this happened on tucker Bobblehead night. Tuck
Speaker 2: had missed, you know, had some opportunities with runners in
Speaker 2: scoring position. Just ducks on the pond in general continues
Speaker 2: to be just absolutely abysmal at Dodger Stadium this year.
Speaker 2: I think before the game Davesse had the numbers. He's
Speaker 2: in like two oh three. I mean, obviously anywhere would
Speaker 2: have the numbers two o three Dodger Stadium till four
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium, and he's hitting two sixty five on the road.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean not much. I guess to add
Speaker 2: to that.
Speaker 3: No, that that inning when he struck out looking was
Speaker 3: second and third, yeah, and it was pitch yeah, but.
Speaker 1: You got to put the ball in play there and
Speaker 1: or at least strike out swinging, you know. And then
Speaker 1: he gets a base hit later his next time up,
Speaker 1: so could he use that last time? And then after
Speaker 1: an intentional walk to Max Munsey, then Lazer Alfonso comes
Speaker 1: up and on ball five takes he takes ball three
Speaker 1: to fill the count. Yeah, after five pitches out of
Speaker 1: the strike so it was a full count. It's bases loaded,
Speaker 1: two outs, and show heo Tony on deck. And these
Speaker 1: pitches weren't close pitches that he was swinging out of
Speaker 1: the zone. They were six eight inches outside. Eric greg
Speaker 1: wouldn't have called those pitches strikes, it was you know,
Speaker 1: he might have and he ends up grounding out in
Speaker 1: the inning when he should have walked in a run
Speaker 1: to bring up shoe Heo Tony with bases loaded, like
Speaker 1: when you're betting ninth, you know, your job is just
Speaker 1: to get the bat in show hey, Toni's hands to
Speaker 1: turn over that lineup, and I you know, Alfonso did
Speaker 1: have an RBA single earlier in the game. He you know,
Speaker 1: I like Eliezer Alfonso. I think that he's as far
Speaker 1: as backup catchers go, he's better than Charles Entertainment Robinson.
Speaker 2: You know, he's Yeah, he is what he is, but
Speaker 2: up a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But that that so that whole inning and we were like, well,
Speaker 1: maybe it won't matter. The Dodgers already had the lead
Speaker 1: at that point, but then it immediately mattered because it
Speaker 1: was the next inning that the Red Sox scored a
Speaker 1: bunch of runs and you know, would have liked to
Speaker 1: attack on a few there. You know, the the run
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers didn't get because a Keyk's bad base
Speaker 1: running earlier in the game that was immediately followed by
Speaker 1: shohe a Tony home run, you know, should have been
Speaker 1: a three run homer instead of a two run homer.
Speaker 1: All sorts of little things like that where the Dodgers
Speaker 1: just left left points on the board as they say
Speaker 1: in other sports.
Speaker 3: Or or Aaron left runs unscored. It was. It was
Speaker 3: not the cleanest game.
Speaker 1: And then earlier in the game the base hit that
Speaker 1: should have been you know, handled by Freddy Freeman, that scored.
Speaker 3: Two runs and that was one run anyway.
Speaker 2: But yeah, and that was gonna be the you know again,
Speaker 2: we talked about the good, the bad, or the ugly,
Speaker 2: and that was the bad. Just not the cleanest baseball
Speaker 2: we've ever seen. And and it feels like we're having
Speaker 2: a few more of those of recent vintage than we're
Speaker 2: used to. Uh, you know, whatever, tot get him out
Speaker 2: of the way now. Uh, but yeah, you're seeing some errors, uh,
Speaker 2: brain farts, bad decisions. You know, maybe both of those
Speaker 2: are are kik a you saw you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: people were real upset a couple of days ago about
Speaker 2: Tucker ignoring Dino's you know send sign uh didn't score there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's weird, and you're you're seeing the reaction for Dave.
Speaker 2: Dave is not a happy camper watching uh, some of
Speaker 2: the recent play and and you know, we're not anywhere
Speaker 2: near some sort of closed door meeting type of situation
Speaker 2: with how the team is playing. You know, you don't,
Speaker 2: you don't, you're not the best team in baseball and
Speaker 2: and go go out there and have a closed door
Speaker 2: meeting or whatever. But still I think it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, let's let's let's lock get the FN sort
Speaker 2: of thing here because we haven't just haven't seen consistent
Speaker 2: clean baseball over like the course of you know, a
Speaker 2: week and then build on another week, and then build
Speaker 2: on another week. That's that's kind of what I'm feeling
Speaker 2: right now. It's it's weird to see this team doing that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the dog days of summer. You know.
Speaker 1: I would guess that most good teams go through a
Speaker 1: stretch like this every season. I always think back to
Speaker 1: my old nineteen eighty eight Dodgers video through the Eyes
Speaker 1: of a Winner, and you got Glenn Fry singing soul
Speaker 1: searching during like May and June when it's just like
Speaker 1: you know, it was, it was rough, and you know
Speaker 1: that team ended up okay. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: remember last year, people spent a lot of the year
Speaker 1: angry last year at the Dodgers, you know, punting games
Speaker 1: and this and that and Dave Roberts being an idiot
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah blah, and last year turned it out.
Speaker 3: Okay too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you it's just one of those nights where you
Speaker 1: just have to have a big picture of you and
Speaker 1: you don't have to enjoy it obviously. You know, it's
Speaker 1: always more fun when the Dodgers win a baseball game
Speaker 1: than when they lose a baseball game.
Speaker 2: Uh do you have sources on that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Literally me.
Speaker 1: But you know, like I said earlier, your chances of
Speaker 1: seeing more Dodger wins are higher because of games like this.
Speaker 1: Because now they have arrested bullpen for the rest of
Speaker 1: this series. Their chances of winning the series are better
Speaker 1: today than they would have been if they had brought
Speaker 1: in relievers in the seventh after the two run homer,
Speaker 1: because I don't know, if you know, Dodgers didn't score
Speaker 1: again anyway, and so you can chase that win.
Speaker 3: But chances are what happens is you.
Speaker 1: Lose the game anyway and aren't in as good a
Speaker 1: position for tomorrow.
Speaker 3: In the next day, and.
Speaker 2: To go back to that twenty twenty four NLDS game,
Speaker 2: you know, Buehler kind of has to eat it a
Speaker 2: little bit in that start, and yeah, it wasn't all
Speaker 2: on him. That was also you know, as we mentioned,
Speaker 2: a little bit of unclean baseball, but him eating a
Speaker 2: few more innings set the team up for the success.
Speaker 2: You know, they did a bullpen game for Game four,
Speaker 2: very you know, highly questionable head scratcher, especially at that
Speaker 2: time Dave Roberts, you know, kind of his his the
Speaker 2: career view at that point was a little bit different
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four than it is now where he
Speaker 2: is back to back World Series champion manager and three
Speaker 2: times over and all of that. There were a lot
Speaker 2: of questions about Dave and Kenny gets team over a
Speaker 2: hump and all that. To be fair, twenty one we've
Speaker 2: talked about it ad nauseum. The roster fell apart, they
Speaker 2: got hurt. Twenty two to twenty three just were not
Speaker 2: built for success on the pitching side. But again that
Speaker 2: type of game, these type of games, they set you
Speaker 2: up for success tomorrow, two days from now, maybe a
Speaker 2: whole series.
Speaker 1: And you can also look, yeah, you could also look
Speaker 1: at game four of the twenty twenty four World Series.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, with Brent, the infamous Brent Honeywell game, the.
Speaker 3: Brent Honeywell game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait was that the Honeywell game that was one
Speaker 2: of the Honeywell games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, there was a Honeywell game against the
Speaker 1: Mets too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one that made him him yeah him.
Speaker 1: At Daniel Hudson gives up four runs in one inning
Speaker 1: and then Landon nat comes in and actually settles things
Speaker 1: down a little bit, but but then so too little,
Speaker 1: too late a little bit. And then Brett Honeywell comes
Speaker 1: in and gives up five runs in one inning and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, Dodgers punted that game.
Speaker 3: Yep. And then they won the World Series the next day,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: And I know people don't like hearing this stuff. The
Speaker 2: it's just one game, but it is. It sucks. It
Speaker 2: was a crappy game, and it is. It is what
Speaker 2: it is. For now, we will all endure and survive
Speaker 2: another ten dollars super chat from Roboito until and before
Speaker 2: we wrap up here, and then we'll continue the conversation
Speaker 2: with bullpen talk and other just random news and nuggets
Speaker 2: of the day. Ten bucks. I believing Kyle Tucker, the
Speaker 2: man hester just to a new city, has a new baby.
Speaker 2: All his family in Florida. Once he settled down, settles down,
Speaker 2: he'll be all right, be patient, Dodgers fans, and then
Speaker 2: the lol. So now I question the sincerity of the
Speaker 2: super chat, but we appreciate it either way. It's August.
Speaker 2: You gotta have it figured out by now. You gotta
Speaker 2: lock in by now a little at least, get a
Speaker 2: little closer to having it locked in by now, but
Speaker 2: not just talk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that Tucker got on base twice today, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he had a bat at bat with runners in the
Speaker 1: scoring position. But yeah, overall, the offense did a decent
Speaker 1: job early in the game and then didn't do much
Speaker 1: the rest of the game. And but that wasn't just Tucker,
Speaker 1: like you said, it wasn't even mostly Tucker. Tucker got
Speaker 1: on base two more times than several guys, several of
Speaker 1: his teammates.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, but he did.
Speaker 1: Have that the high profile strikeout looking terrible at that
Speaker 1: when even just a fly ball gets a run in. Uh,
Speaker 1: And that's that's that's a real thing. But Tucker's gonna
Speaker 1: have to get really hot for people to stop hyper
Speaker 1: focusing on every single little failure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. This season could be well
Speaker 2: the regular season could be a wash, you know, but
Speaker 2: whatever I mean, Mookie changed the narrative last year around
Speaker 2: this time, maybe maybe Tuck can do the same. You know.
Speaker 2: It's it's a whole What have you done for us lately?
Speaker 2: We've got a lot more things to talk about. We're
Speaker 2: gonna do it over kick it on over to with
Speaker 2: the All Dodgers YouTube channel. If you guys are watching
Speaker 2: this live right now on dt UH, just hang out here.
Speaker 2: YouTube will automatically take you over there. We'll be over

Speaker 2: into that, and you know, again, more random news notes,
