3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:17.480
Fight back, damn cakes. I
don't know what. I didn't deserve

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:22.440
this, but it feels like every
time I do Getaway Dodger Talk, which

5
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:28.079
has been now what seventeen times already
this year? Oh they're eight to nine

6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.119
getaway day. It's not everyone's a
getaway game for a series. But I'm

7
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.920
now three and five, my record
three and five and getaway Dodger Talks.

8
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:44.280
After the Dodgers lose tonight seven to
or six to nothing to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

9
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.520
As the Dodgers tonight had opportunity after
opportunity with runners on base in each

10
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.320
of the first six innings, they
stranded those base runners eight of them.

11
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.399
To be exact, they were zero
for eight with runners in scoring position.

12
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.000
Tyler class Now pitched out of a
jam in the first with a one out

13
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.680
single, pitched out of a jam
in the second with a one out single,

14
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.439
and then a lead off air from
Mookie Betts in the third inning.

15
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.920
Thought uh oh, this could be
trouble. For Tyler Glass now in the

16
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.400
Dodgers. But to his credit,
the big right hander struck out back to

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.200
back to back Arizona hitters to get
out of the third inning on twenty three

18
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.239
pitches, a one, two three
fourth In the fifth inning, a leadoff

19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.359
pop out and then a walk with
one out, and that's when things unraveled

20
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:32.480
for Tyler Glass. Now a one
out single put runners on second and third,

21
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.879
and then a two run triple from
Corbyn Carroll, who would then score

22
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.239
on a wild pitch from Tyler Glass. Now three runs in the fifth inning.

23
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.040
As Tyler Glass now unraveled, he
would go five innings, three runs,

24
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.040
four hit, six strikeouts, one
walk in a wild pitch, and

25
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.000
a losing effort tonight, as he
has dropped out two straight decisions for the

26
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.560
Dodgers, who dropped two of three
to the Arizona Diamondbacks. And I know

27
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.000
the numbers aren't good. For these
thirteen games in thirteen days. I mentioned

28
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.120
how they're hitting just over two hundred
during this stretch, they were scoring just

29
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.479
over three runs per game. When
going into these thirteen games in thirteen days,

30
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:10.960
they were scoring near five and a
half runs per game. The Dodgers'

31
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.520
offense right now is kind of just
in neutral, is what It sort of

32
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.199
feels like. They were erupting offensively. They were scoring runs in bunches.

33
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.120
They were not only winning series,
they had won four in a row.

34
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.599
They were putting together these streaks and
really starting to elongate that lead in the

35
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:31.840
NL West. And it's still a
seven game lead in the division as we

36
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:37.439
speak, but it doesn't feel as
big as it should be as far as

37
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.199
their lead over the Padres and the
Diamondbacks, and certainly the Giants and the

38
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.319
Colorado Rockies are picking up the rear
of the division. But the last thing

39
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.800
the Dodgers really want to do is
let the Podres and now an Arizona Diamondbacks

40
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:55.639
team that is still under five hundred, hovering at twenty four and twenty six,

41
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.360
but they've won two in a row, they win this series, they've

42
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.639
won six of ten. Is let
these teams stick around. Even the Giants

43
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.199
have won seven of ten. They've
caught in fire in the last ten days.

44
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.599
You don't want these teams to stick
around. And I know it's May

45
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.400
twenty second, I understand that,
but the last thing you want to do

46
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.719
is have an eight game lead now
down to seven, go on a road

47
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.080
trip and maybe it's down to four
because you're playing five hundred baseball and kind

48
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.479
of just sitting in neutral. Offensively, the Dodgers top of the lineup has

49
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.199
carried this team, There's no doubt
about it. And the Dodgers top of

50
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:36.159
the lineup tonight didn't produce much outside
of Mookie Betts, Oh Show Hey o

51
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.479
Tany had a base hit. Mookie
Betts was on base twice, he had

52
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.000
a double, he had a walk. But Freddy Freeman came up and was

53
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.520
oh for fourth of plate tonight,
struck out twice and was er for two

54
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.599
with runners in scoring position. He
came up twice during the Dodgers' run of

55
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.879
the first six innings in which they
had runners on base and an opportunity for

56
00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.639
Freddy to do some damage. The
first opportunity was in the third out double

57
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:06.280
by Mookie Otani grounded out, and
then Freddy Freeman got out, then Freddy

58
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.360
Freeman in the fifth, first and
second nobody out, Otani flew out,

59
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.360
Freeman struck out, Will Smith flew
out. So twice Freddy Freeman had opportunities

60
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.879
to drive in runs wasn't able to
do it. Will Smith an oh for

61
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.759
night Tonight. At the plate,
Gavin Lux had two of the Dodgers six

62
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.079
hits tonight. Kikey Hernandez had a
hit at the bottom of the lineup.

63
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:34.000
Taskar Hernandez had a hit at the
fifth spot tonight. When the top of

64
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:40.319
the lineup produces it, gets on
base and they're driving in runs, usually

65
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:44.360
it's a sign that the rest of
the lineup is following, or if not,

66
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:46.839
they're still gonna win a game.
But when the big three, so

67
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:53.160
to speak, go two for eleven
with three punch outs, that is not

68
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.439
going to be a good winning recipe
for this Dodgers team, and it wasn't

69
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.439
tonight. Eight sixty six nine eight
seven two five seventy. Eight sixty six,

70
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.720
nine eighty seven two five seventy is
your number. You can always tweet

me on Twitter or X or whatever
we're calling it nowadays, you can do

74
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.759
that as well. Tonight, the
Dodgers get shut out for the third time

75
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.279
this season. That's it. But
couldn't have come in a worse time for

76
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.839
a Dodgers team that wanted a little
momentum going on the road. You're gonna

77
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.120
go to Cincinnati and face a Reds
team that you just took three or four

78
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.680
from, a Reds team that is
reeling a little bit but would love nothing

79
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.639
more than to get right in a
three game series against you at home.

80
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.240
And the Dodgers struggled against Hunter Green
their last outing against him over the weekend.

81
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:54.839
They'll see him on Saturday. They'll
see the right handed Graham Ashcraft again

82
00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:00.639
on Saturday. The Dodgers need to
get back on track in Cincinnati. And

83
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.920
you're not gonna win every game,
certainly, but start stacking series wins together.

84
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.439
It would have been great to finish
off this Arizona Diamondbacks team tonight with

85
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.439
the win, because you would have
taken two of three coming off of taking

86
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:16.519
three or four from the Cincinnati Reds. But they can't. They can't get

87
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:21.079
the big hit tonight. The offense
struggled with runners in scoring position. The

88
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:29.319
top of the lineup struggled defensively.
Mookie Betts another air at shortstop in the

89
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:34.120
third inning at E six on a
two hopper to short. He tried side

90
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:40.000
arming it over to Freddie Freeman pulled
him off the bag, up the line

91
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:44.360
and the runner was safe to lead
off the third inning. Thankfully, Tyler

92
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.279
Glass now was able to get out
of it, striking out the side the

93
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.680
rest of the way, getting Carol
Marte and Peterson in order. Because that

94
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.160
right there could have been damage.
I even wrote it down third inning,

95
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:03.600
zero zero game on Betts to the
nine hitter Newman, turning the lineup over

96
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.800
with nobody out and maybe a flustered
Tyler Glass, now having gotten what he

97
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.399
wanted was a ground ball, but
had an air behind him on defense,

98
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:19.560
but to his credit, got Corbyn
Carroll to strike out on five pitches,

99
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.680
got him on a four seam fastball
and ninety five miles an hour up and

100
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.519
in. Then he got Ktel Marte
on a three to two pitch ninety seven

101
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.920
mile an hour fastball inside part of
the plate, and then got Jock Peterson

102
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.319
again on a three to two pitch, this time a curveball. He got

103
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:44.480
jocked to chase out of the zone
for the final out of the inning.

104
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.160
A really good job by Tyler Glass
now tonight to put that in the back

105
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.240
of his mind and not let it
affect him. In the third to come

106
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.279
back out in the fourth inning,
facing the four to five to six hitters

107
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.560
of the Arizona Diamondbacks, including Christian
Walker, and going one to two to

108
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.399
three in that inning, you felt
like he was just waiting for the offense

109
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.399
to join him, waiting for the
offense to start putting together something and getting

110
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.639
some runs on the board. Because
if they could have gotten a run in

111
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.079
the first when they had an opportunity, if they could have pushed across a

112
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.319
running the second when they got a
lead off walk by ti Oscar Hernanez but

113
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:22.519
got nothing, if they could have
done something in the third when they got

114
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.800
a one out double for Mookie and
Otanian Freeman and Will Smith couldn't do anything.

115
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.600
If they could have done anything in
the fourth and they had second and

116
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.519
third with one out and Andy Paez
struck out, Jason Hayward grounded out anything

117
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.480
to give Tyler Glass now a lead. I think his confidence boosted pitching with

118
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.519
the lead going into that fifth inning. I think the role results are different.

119
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.720
I think he's more aggressive. I
think he's out there knowing he needs

120
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.440
to get that fifth inning in the
books to pick up the win. And

121
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:58.360
it's a different result. But as
it is the Dodgers had opportunity after opportunity

122
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.559
on offense and just couldn't pushed together
runs. And I already got a couple

123
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.879
tweets saying the Diabacks are doing this
to the Dodgers again, it's just like

124
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.919
the NLDS. Well, let's pump
the brakes just a little bit about the

125
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.240
old This is the NLDS again.
The Diabacks aren't doing what they did in

126
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.320
October where they went on that magical
run a year ago. Would everything run

127
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.799
right? Their bullpen was locked down, they got great starting pitching, and

128
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.360
they just were crushing the ball,
all right? This is completely different.

129
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:33.039
Sure, this is a Diabacks team
that the Dodgers should have taken two to

130
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.480
three and should be four and two
against through six games already this year.

131
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.799
Instead, they have split the first
six games with the Arizona Diamonbacks, having

132
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.720
took two to three in Arizona and
now dropped two of three to the Snakes

133
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.240
at home to finish off this home
stand. Needless to say, a road

134
00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.799
trip could be a good thing for
this Dodgers team to get this out of

135
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.919
their head, starting new and get
back on track. Certainly was the last

136
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.960
time around. Remember the home stand
in which the Dodgers lost the series of

137
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.919
the Padres. They faced the Nationals
and then the Mets, and how did

138
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.039
they finish that homestand that was really
trending in the wrong direction. They blew

139
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.919
out the Mets on that Sunday at
Dodger Stadium, had a day off to

140
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.200
clear their heads, went back east
on one of their longest road trips of

141
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:26.679
the year, Washington, DC,
Toronto in three games against Arizona and the

142
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.000
Desert where they won two to three. It was a really good road trip.

143
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.279
They got right, so to speak, on that road trip. It

144
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.159
kind of feels like the Dodgers can
have that get right road trip again when

145
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:45.759
they head now to Cincinnati and New
York. Eight six six nine eighty seven

146
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.759
two five seventy is the number.
Eight sixty six nine eighty seven two five

147
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:54.519
seventy. The Dodgers' bullpen tonight gave
up a couple of runs Eliza Hernandez a

148
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.600
home run to Christian Walker. And
by the way, if we don't have

149
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.679
to see Christian Walker and even I'm
soon, thank goodness. He has become

150
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:09.200
a new Dodger killer. Remember Vin
Scully used to say Goldie. Paul Goldschmid,

151
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.559
the Dodger Killer, Yeah, because
that's what he was. Seemed like,

152
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.080
Paul Goldschmid every time he faced the
Dodgers, hit home runs, caused

153
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:24.679
damage. Was a one man wrecking
crew against the Dodgers. Now, certainly

154
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.559
his career has come down and he's
in Saint Louis now, but Christian Walker

155
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:33.799
has turned into that Dodger killer.
Christian Walker came in to this series with

156
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.519
eight home runs. Christian Walker left
this series heaving him back to back home

157
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:45.200
runs. Last night and tonight,
Christian Walker hit a home run again at

158
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:50.360
Dodger Stadium for the fourteenth time in
his career. He's now hit twenty two

159
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:58.480
home runs against the Dodgers all time
in eighty seven games, the staggering number.

160
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:05.639
He has become the Dodgers Killer here
in twenty twenty four in the last

161
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.159
three years before that. So if
we don't have to see Christian Walker for

162
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.000
a while, and the Dodgers won't
see the Arizona Diamondbacks by the way,

163
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.879
until right before the fourth of July, they have a break from them until

164
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.120
July two, three, and four, and then they won't see the Arizona

165
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:26.399
Diamondbacks again until Labor Day weekend at
the end of August and early September.

166
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.240
So six games down, they've got
how what seven to go against Arizona,

167
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:37.639
three at Dodgers Stadium in July,
and then a four game series against the

168
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.840
Snakes over in Arizona when it's nice
and hot over in Phoenix around Labor Day

169
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.879
weekend. Eight six, six nine, eight seven two five seventy is the

170
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.279
number. We'll take a break,
we'll come back, We'll get to your

171
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.279
phone calls, hose A Moti will
join us. A disappointing night. You

172
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.120
don't want to overreact in the moment, but tonight's one of those games you

173
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.600
just felt like going through the motions. What are those games? Like?

174
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.159
A getaway day on a Sunday where
the Dodgers have already won the first two

175
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.960
games and just kind of going through
a Sunday to get out of town,

176
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.879
get ready for a road trip,
get home as soon as possible, and

177
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.360
enjoy a little barbecue at the family. Well, problem is, Dodgers lost

178
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.480
this series. Dodgers got shut out
tonight. They had their opportunities, but

179
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.720
very frustrating one through nine could not
come through that big hit zero for eight

180
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.840
with runners in scoring position, and
they stranded eight base runners eight six six,

181
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:33.759
nine eighty seven two five to seventy
got one line open. If you're

182

the Arizona Diamondbacks six to nothing. Ryan

192
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.559
Nelson gets the win after an opener, got the start, he came in,

193
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.399
got the bulk of the innings.
Tyler Glass now gets the loss.

194
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.799
He win five innings, three runs, four hit, six strikeouts, but

195
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.759
things fell apart in the fifth Indian
after a one out walk, a single,

196
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.039
and then a two run double from
Corporn Carrol, a wild pitch would

197
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.519
score Carol. Three runs came across
in the top half of the fifth inning

198
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:45.120
for the Arizona Diamondbacks and they go
on and win. It's six to nothing.

with those. It's tough to go around

204
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.159
the Horn with Jseane Moga Hose Andy
offense. Tonight's whether it was the Big

205
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.600
three, the Big four really one
through nine couldn't string together those hits.

206
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:16.879
One of those frustrating nights, I
imagine for Tyler Glass now, who for

207
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.039
the first four innings really pitched well, and things just kind of fell apart

208
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.799
in the fifth he did. I
mean, the curveball for him, you

209
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.559
know, was literally inconsistent. There
are times when he was spiking it too

210
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.799
much. At times he left it
up throwing it too hard. And then

211
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.320
the big one is the one he
hung to Paul N. Carroll, who

212
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:35.480
is not able to get around fastballs, and the scouting report pretty much is

213
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.960
he cannot hit fastballs right now,
which is pretty amazing, right if for

214
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.120
a guy like Carrol. But he
took advantage of, you know, somebody's

215
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.600
slowing down his bat and drove that
ball to to right center field. And

216
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.039
one thing about Carol too is,
you know, forget the one night he

217
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.240
won. He's an impact player.
That's why he's better lead off, and

218
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.120
they're trying to get him, you
know, spark around a little bit.

219
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.120
Yesterday, the way he drove the
ball the other way on fastballs was pretty

220
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.600
much an indication that he has kind
of come around. And what is ever

221
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:03.600
just him? I mean, Tory
Lerulis says, my team really needs to

222
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:07.080
get somebody going out, just Martin
and Christian Walker, and that was the

223
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.679
right guy for them to come up
in that situation there too. But you

224
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.559
know, for a guy like last
though. The other thing too is and

225
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.399
that happened with Gavin. Still,
you know your starters will have nice like

226
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.840
this, okay, but it's gonna
look bigger obviously when you're not hitting.

227
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.240
So these guys need to be picked
up. I mean, you cannot expect

228
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.519
these guys to go out there to
go seven and six and allow one or

229
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:26.600
two runs to win a ball game, right, So it this really all

230
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.080
falls on the offense. Tonight the
Dodgers were zero for eight with runners in

231
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.679
scoring position. They left eight runners
out there. They had base runners that

232
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.919
they left eight of the first six
innings. And it wasn't like they was

233
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:41.759
finding the bottom of the order every
single time. Jose and those guys weren't

234
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.679
pricking up the slack. Freddie Freeman
oh for two with runners in scoring positions,

235
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.200
Showy o Tani oh for two with
runners be scoring position. Will Smith

236
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:52.759
was oh for one with runners in
scoring position. Guys, for whatever reason

237
00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.759
to I just couldn't get that key
hit against the Diamondbacks. Yeah, you

238
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.720
know what's really cut my eye,
Tim was Ryan Nelson, who, in

239
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.720
fact, coming into the series,
Toyler woles like, I don't know if

240
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.119
he's going to make the start.
He's not pitching. Well, this is

241
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.839
that, right, he comes out
today with fire and says no, and

242
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.839
you know what he did so well
tonight is and it relates to the way

243
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.799
daiers swimming about. He was not
messing around. I mean it was pretty

244
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.960
much like, you know what,
guys, if I going to get hurt,

245
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.240
I'm going to get hurt. Here
hit it. He threw the fastball

246
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:29.160
rad down in the middle many times, plenty of times to see where it

247
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.799
was. And the more they missed, and more confident he got in.

248
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.480
He spider very well. And for
the dodgerstop pretty much where they are right

249
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.359
now. You know, there's some
swings outside the zone, trying to do

250
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.920
too much. There's no doubt him. You know what that as Freddy Freeman

251
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.960
goes, so go the Dodgers.
They need Freddy Freeman to be Freddy Freeman.

252
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.039
I know there's show here, there's
Mookie Betts, there's Will Smith at

253
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.119
ti Oscar. But my god,
when Freddy Freeman goes on one of these

254
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.119
hot streaks, just look at the
history with the Braves and with the Dodgers.

255
00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.960
What happens to those teams? And
he has become a key clog in

256
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.119
this whole thing. And you know
a guy that's been absent that we got

257
00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.799
to understand that he prolongs in sometimes
because of the watks is Max Munsey.

258
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.839
I think his presidence has been missing
that lineup. And certainly there's guys who

259
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.680
want to more contact from like the
Oscar and Andy Paies who was finding out

260
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.240
how tough it is to hit the
big leagues, especially after he has success

261
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.480
early and why I justment, is
he going to be made in a heartbeat

262
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:25.960
here? What is it about Pie
is that he needs to adjust to Jose?

263
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.720
Is is it the way they're pitching
him backwards? I mean, what

264
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.680
is it about what he was doing
right the first I don't know two and

265
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.759
a half weeks and what he has
really struggled to do the last two and

266
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.400
a half weeks. He's missing his
pitch. He's missing his pitch. Young

267
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.839
guy going through a learning process in
the in the curve that you go through

268
00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:47.799
in the big leagues. And you
know, sometimes you simplify the best him

269
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.359
by allowing him to think about singles. Just get singles, that's fine,

270
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.039
Just get your singles because you're strong
enough to have one of those singles turn

271
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.720
into a double triple at home run
because you're strong enough. So if he's

272
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.519
thinking about I got to drive the
ball, now I'm the everyday center fielder

273
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:04.960
and you don't want that to happen. Okay, he saw James Outman go

274
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.279
down to the minor leagues because of
his production. Okay, now he has

275
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.319
to say, hey, listen,
I earned this by doing what by enjoying

276
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.039
the game, knowing that they're going
to have to make a move at some

277
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:21.200
point, and being productive and opportunities
of what I got right, So now

278
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:25.400
it's not time to do more.
He's got to and think about doing less

279
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.839
and think singles contact good at batsman
more than anything, just have productive at

280
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.720
basket because the ad bass and they've
gotten to him quite a few times on

281
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.720
purpose, are just not there right
now. You know, you're not seeing

282
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.079
a consistent contact and certainly not the
first time a young player goes through this.

283
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:41.160
But there's a reason why he's here. And I think what I would

284
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.119
want to see is this affect him
in the outfield where you know he's not

285
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:48.640
playing to the best in the outfield
when he can because the hitting is affecting

286
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.279
them. But for Andy who was
a good athlete. Hopefully, you know,

287
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.640
he'll somebody come and have a the
oscar or somebody like to come talk

288
00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:57.440
to him and know, hey,
brought there, and just have enjoy the

289
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.920
game. You're playing every day.
That's a bit thing. You're not being

290
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.000
looked at and saying, hey,
if he goes over, he's gonna stay

291
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:06.599
down. So you got that going
for you in today for a young player,

292
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:08.319
that's a big plus. But you
know what, go get your singles

293
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:11.279
and start with batting practice. Get
your singles in batting practice fro from there

294
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.119
on, you're thinking contact, might
play some pepperin. Before you know it,

295
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.799
you're gonna have, you know,
more success and more contact. Final

296
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:19.279
thing, Hose, I just looked
at the schedule and I guess I didn't

297
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:23.359
realize this, you know, looking
at it earlier. They're in a brutal

298
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:27.079
stretch here over the four month period
or four week period. Excuse me.

299
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:32.720
Get the thirteen games in thirteen days. Then you go back east for six.

300
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.799
You come home for three games against
Colorado before going back out on the

301
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:42.079
road to the East Coast for six
more, three against Pittsburgh and then three

302
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.279
more in New York, this time
against the Yankees. You talk about a

303
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:49.279
brutal stretch, thirteen in a row
and then two trips to the East Coast

304
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:52.799
in a two and a half week
span. Thank you, schedule makers.

305
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:57.759
Well go and strap it on and
know that nobody's gonna feel bad for you,

306
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:02.839
right And you know, and sometimes
I've seen teams go at their best

307
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:04.240
and stretches like this because you know
why, guys, it is what it

308
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.599
is. Let's go out there and
take care of business. What do we

309
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.000
have. We got Cincinnati, well, they play tough over here, we

310
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:11.119
though, you know, they beat
them three out of four. You have

311
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.799
the Mets, who've been up and
down and the Mets beat him two out

312
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.759
of three here. And then Pittsburgh
who just never know. It seems like

313
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.799
Pittsburgh finds another level when they see
the Dodgers go now. And of course

314
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.160
then you have the Yankees and who's
not going to be amped up for that

315
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:27.839
series? So you know what,
enjoy the ride. I'm glad I'm not

316
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.960
playing. I'm calling the game,
so obviously it's a much different perspective for

317
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.519
me. But the one thing too, I was going to point out to

318
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.240
them is the Dodgers, in terms
of game just hiding hits from the opponent.

319
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.119
They have to take care of the
bottom of the Oders. The Compusanos

320
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.920
of the world and the stew are
fairchilds or respect to them. They're big

321
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.599
leagu hitterers, Kevin Newman's but those
guys can, I'll be the biggest factors

322
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:52.440
in beating you. You know,
will come down to a series into a

323
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:56.039
game. Yeah, I'm Moreno and
Newman tonight on base three times between the

324
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.640
two of them just cannot happen.
Jose, appreciate it. We'll talk to

325
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.160
you in a couple days, all
right, But not just to Jose Mota

326
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.960
as well. As the Dodgers dropped
a final game to the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight

327
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.640
six to nothing. They lose two
to three to Arizona. They go four

328
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:17.359
and three on the homestand seven and
six over these thirteen games in thirteen days.

329
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.599
Yeah, nobody's gonna cry a river
here for the La Dodgers. I

330
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:26.599
understand that, but this is a
brutal stretch. I get travel as part

331
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:32.200
of professional sports. I understand that, but thirteen games in thirteen days,

332
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:38.599
day off to travel back east for
six games in six days, then a

333
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:44.359
day off you get a wopping three
games at home against Colorado before you have

334
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:51.160
to go back east for six more
games. Twelve of their next fourteen games

335
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:56.119
are on the East coast. Unbelievable. What the three game series, twelve

336
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.680
of the next see six and six
twelve, the next fifteen, yeah,

337
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.039
are on the East coast. That's
unbelievable. Brad mission Vaho. Thanks for

338
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.440
being patient, Brad, Thanks for
checking in here on Dodger Log. How

339
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.119
you do Ton, Buddy, thank
you, thanks for chaking my call.

340
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:14.759
Yeah, it's funny. Over the
last two days, there's been a lot

341
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:18.119
of power is shown by the Diamondbacks. And you're right about Walker over like

342
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.440
about five years, he's done the
trick, you know, nineteen games a

343
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.519
year, you know, and that's
a lot that's very frequent. What I'm

344
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.319
wondering is do you think Glass now
has lost the edge a little bit because

345
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.880
he pitched that excellent game in San
Diego, but he was just out pitched

346
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.480
by King, you know, and
he had like about nine strikeouts and he

347
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.759
stayed the course for seven innings but
gave up one long Well, but do

348
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.759
you think he's still considered the ace
of the staff right now or what I

349
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.000
think him and Yamamoto are neck and
next. Certainly the first eight starts.

350
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.160
I appreciate it, Brad, the
first eight starts of the season, Tyler

351
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.039
Glass, Now was it? He
went head to head on that Friday night

352
00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:59.680
in San Diego with King. You're
right in a pitcher's duel and lost that

353
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.920
game or got no decision. Excuse
me. Then you get the game against

354
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:08.599
Cincinnati in which he gives up four
runs on six hits over five innings and

355
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:14.599
loses last Thursday to the Reds.
And tonight I thought he pitched really well

356
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.559
for four innings. Again, he
could have melted down after an air in

357
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:21.200
the third inning, but he comes
back and gets back to back to back

358
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:25.599
strikeouts. He has a one two
three fourth inning. He gets a pop

359
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:30.759
out to lead off the fifth inning, but then a walk and a base

360
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:34.680
hit, and then a two run
triple, a wild pitch, and when

361
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.400
the course of three at bat three
batters, he's down three to nothing.

362
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:44.440
Things unraveled for him. I don't
think he's lost it by any means.

363
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.759
I mean, he's still striking out
guys at an enormous rate. Six more

364
00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.079
punchouts tonight. He had eight in
his last start. He's got four games

365
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:55.680
where he's got double digit strikeouts.
He leads the major leagues going into tonight

366
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:02.039
and leaving tonight as far as strikeouts
is concerned. He's been a victim of

367
00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:07.440
no run support. I mean the
Reds game last Thursday, Dodgers scored two

368
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.279
runs. The start before that in
San Diego where he got into the pitcher's

369
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:15.359
duel of King on that Friday night, the opener of that three game series

370
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:21.000
in San Diego, he gave one
run over seven innings and that was a

371
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:25.960
solo home run. One hit.
That was it. Ten punchouts and he

372
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.079
gets no decision. He pitched his
butt off. He just didn't get any

373
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:36.240
run support. The three starts before
that, eleven runs scored by the Dodgers,

374
00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:40.079
four run scored by the Dodgers,
ten runs scored by the Dodgers,

375
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:47.359
double digit run scored in two of
those three victories for Tyler glassnow just not

376
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:51.960
getting the run support he had gotten
early from the Dodgers offense. The last

377
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.319
couple of starts eight sixty six ninety
seven two five to seventy Woodland Hills,

378
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.599
Matt in the eight one eight,
How doing Matt good? Damn how's it

379
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.599
going come all right? A little
frustrated with the last two nights. Yeah,

380
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:08.200
man, sitting here watching it.
So yeah, the team with Arizona,

381
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.640
why it does seem like it's like
a replay of the You know,

382
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.279
it's just a small ball. Yond
it's the speed it is given to thirty

383
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.599
They got up three nothing while pitch
took advantage of it. And if the

384
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:25.559
Addiers don't hit a home run,
it's they don't win. He looked at

385
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.400
Yeah. This year they've been shut
out three times. Last year they were

386
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:32.119
shut out four times, so they're
on pace for twelve. They're just thinking,

387
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.599
you get people one third, one
out, can't punch somebody home,

388
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:41.680
not a chance for directional hitting.
I don't understand the it's like this the

389
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:49.039
time practicing some of these gay situations
where they don't ds because they're gonna it's

390
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:53.039
just thatsentful. Yeah, appreciated,
mag Your phone's breaking up a little bit.

391
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.319
You mentioned if they don't hate a
home runs, they don't win.

392
00:26:57.359 --> 00:27:03.640
A great stat from Blake Carris on
Twitter earlier tonight. The Dodgers record in

393
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.599
twenty twenty four when hitting two or
more home runs, they're seventeen and one

394
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:18.519
when they hit one home run,
they're eleven and six when they hit no

395
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.039
home runs in a game. This
Dodgers team in twenty twenty four. The

396
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:29.359
record now five and twelve right there, tells you a lot. When you

397
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:33.599
hit home runs. They win when
they hit a home run more times than

398
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:37.359
not. They win when they don't
hit home runs. They are a five

399
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:45.440
and twelve team that's not manufacturing runs. That's home run or bust for this

400
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.359
Dodgers team. And that's what they
were trying to get out of after the

401
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:53.119
last couple of failures in the postseason. Tonight, Corbyn Carroll, tip your

402
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:57.400
cap. Hit a one to two
pitch, drove in runs, the wild

403
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:02.799
pitch he scored on, that's on
Tyler Glass. Now the Christian Walker home

404
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.359
run. You tip your cap to
a guy who's completely own you since he's

405
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:11.200
been an Arizona Diamondback for whatever reason. But the Dodgers tonight offensively, they

406
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.880
had their chances. First inning,
Otani left on base, second inning,

407
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:19.720
lead off walk by tay Oscar,
nothing, third inning, one out double

408
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:25.200
by Mookie and you got Otani and
Freeman up nothing. Fourth inning, second

409
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.000
and third, one out, and
you can't get a fly ball out.

410
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:32.720
You can't punch across one run.
You get a strikeout from Pajes on a

411
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:37.440
fastball in the middle of the plate
and Hayward grounds out nothing. Nothing.

412
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.680
At that point, it's still a
three to nothing game. You get a

413
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.599
run, you get two, you're
right back in it. Fifth inning,

414
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:48.720
first and second, nobody out.
Nobody out, first and second, Otani

415
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:55.000
flies out, Freeman strikes out,
Will Smith flies out. You had another

416
00:28:55.079 --> 00:28:57.359
opportunity, maybe it's a three to
one, three to two game, to

417
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.960
tie the game or take the lead, and you put up a zero in

418
00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.359
the sixth inning, first and second, nobody out. Come on, bottom

419
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.079
of the lineup, Come on,
pa Hez hit into a double play,

420
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:15.519
Come on, Jason Hayward flies out
to the in the inning. It wasn't

421
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.799
the bottom of the lineup solely not
coming through. This Dodger lineup as a

422
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:25.599
whole for eight with runners in scoring
position, including O'tani and Freeman, who

423
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.200
are both OH for two with runners
in scoring position, equal opportunity lack of

424
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.680
driving in runs tonight, for this
Dodger's offense, had the opportunities, had

425
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:38.319
a chance to get back in this
game. With Tyler Glass now on the

426
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:44.160
mound. As it would turn out, things unraveled in the fifth inning.

427
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.200
You had a chance to give him
the lead in the third, the fourth,

428
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:52.519
you had a chance to get back
in it in the fifth and couldn't

429
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.640
do it. Ish Riverside, You're
gonna be our final call tonight here on

430
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:00.759
Dodger Talk. Hi Ish, Hey, tim Man for taking my calls.

431
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.119
Just a big shoutouts to you and
calling you guys are always so hospitable taking

432
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.759
my call. I'll appreciate it.
Yeah. So basically, yeah, that's

433
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.839
a crazy stab as far as the
home run, and I don't know,

434
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:11.880
maybe that's something that the front office
do. They wanted to keep swinging for

435
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.559
the fences when you when you talk
about that seventeen and one, you know,

436
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.960
with two or more home runs and
especially with the home run hitters.

437
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:22.759
But pretty pretty interesting. But my
Mike we question honestly called in. Yeah,

438
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.359
we're gonna lose games up baseball,
right, hundred and sixty two games,

439
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:27.759
but it's just the way we lose. I don't know, I was

440
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:32.759
a little bit not gonna lie a
little bit hot when you know, Pa

441
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.839
Haz was calling for that ball.
I think it was the sixth, six

442
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.319
or seventh and uh clearly called it
and uh, you know, ta Oscar

443
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:44.279
comes in and just swoops and basically
snags the ball. And and reason I

444
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.359
mentioned that because I know that you
know, Jose Mota and Dave Assay they

445
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.559
kind of broke down that play whether
there was a collision, uh, you

446
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.960
know, several games ago. So
I don't know. My my concern on

447
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.559
the defensive end, you know,
with t Oscar, I'm just a little

448
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:02.880
bit concerned, like you know,
just in terms of his effort and stuff

449
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:07.039
like that. Like I don't know
what he is. What's going on in

450
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:10.599
the clubhouse? Are we good?
I know that we had a transition with

451
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.079
some players going, you know,
being optioned and some players called up.

452
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.680
It's a different dynamic. Just want
to get your guys to take on that.

453
00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:19.960
Appreciate it. I think we'll definitely
get it going here soon. All

454
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:22.480
right, Appreciate it. I don't
think the turnover has been that much.

455
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.440
You're talking about certainly a lot of
arms on the il, so that's been

456
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.839
a change. But the guys who
have come in have stepped up and been

457
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:36.119
fantastic, whether as starters or relievers. The position players outside of Jason Hayward

458
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.880
and now Max Munci relatively injury free. This Dodgers team and altman struggled at

459
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.359
the plate given every opportunity get sent
down. Miguel Vargas, He's worked his

460
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.400
tail off in Triple A the second
half of last season, getting right in

461
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:55.519
the first six weeks of the Triple
A season this year on fire, absolutely

462
00:31:55.680 --> 00:32:00.200
on fire offensively, and so he
gets called up to hopefully continue the at

463
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:02.839
you know, great pace that he's
at offensively. He's just not getting in

464
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:07.160
bat to the opportunities. But I
think this group's fine. There's no issues,

465
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.799
there's no finger pointing, there's no
issues inside that clubhouse. It's a

466
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:14.960
good clubhouse. It's a good group
of guys. I'm not worried about that.

467
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.920
I am worried about the fact that
too many guys tonight, in particular,

468
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:24.079
had an opportunity to get a hit, drive the ball, score run,

469
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:29.039
hit the ball on the right side, score run, and they failed

470
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.000
oh for eight with runners in scoring
position. And again, wasn't the top

471
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:36.000
of the lineup not coming through?
Wasn't the bottom of the lineup coming through?

472
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.119
You can't point the fingers and say, ha, top of the lineup

473
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:40.880
did their job. Where's the bottom
of the lineup? No, no,

474
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.720
no, equal opportunity, lack of
driving in runs tonight for this Dodgers offense.

475
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:50.720
Blame goes to everybody for the failures
to get on the board tonight.

476
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:54.720
And the Dodgers had their opportunities throughout
the game to take a lead, to

477
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:59.960
get back into it, but ultimately
they fall to the Arizona Diamondbacks by final

478
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:01.920
well off, six to nothing.
